be enshrouded in impenetrable gloom,
anything pertaining to his life and

interesting. We print an illustra-

many of them completed, and the
line is necessarily circuitous.
The exhibit in this power house is
the most complete single exhibit of
advanced types of mechanical and
electrical machinery in motion at the
Fair. In the center of the building
stands the electrical wonder of the
Fair, and, indeed, the electrical Won
der of the world-the great l2-pole,
$500 kilowatt electrical generator,
coupled directly to the huge 2.4Oo-
horse power Corliss engine. This
generator is the largest ever con.
structed, and although it is rated at
1,5Ook W., or about 2, l00-horse power,
it can be operated to give 3, 600 horse
power under emergencies. Its tre-
mendous size precluded the possibil-
ity of its shipment complete to the

therefore, sh pped separately, and
were put together for the first time

CHAPTER TX.

The two weeks Of busy preparation
that followed passed like q dream to
both Bullet and his daughter, and it
was as the elimination of long glad
ness that they arrived in due course at
the suspicious hour SO ardently longed
for-the hour chosen for the marriage.
It had seemed essential to tho old
sailor to keep the matter quiet, even
| as it had seem essential to Alma to
give the affair a certain publicity.
Through the unicn of their counsels a
happy medium had been chosen-quite
large circle of friends and neighbors
being invited, while mere acQuaintan-
ces were entirely ignored and left in
ignorance OF what was transpiring.
The occasion was we'll attended, there
fore, without being crowded. The friends
Of Almas schoolgirl days were espe-
cially numerous, and she had the sat-
isfaction of feeling that she was their
particular envy.
The parties took their places at the
foot Of the altar Just as the hour named
for the ceremony sounded. The priest
opened his book and proceeded with
the ceremony which was to mako the
twain one flesh, paying little heed to
the contented Joy Of the bride, the
gloomy abstraction OF tho bridegroom,
or the beaming yet anxious delight Of
Bullet.
The ceremony had advanced to that
point where the minister demands of
any one having objections to instantly
offer them, or thereafter hold his peace
forever, when hurried tramping Of
feet resounded along an inner corridor
Of the church, and man came swiftly
into the midst Of the assemblage.
This man was Keeri.
Il am sorry to disturb you, reverend
SIR" he said, proceeding directly to
business. but am called here by an
imperative duty"
The priest repeated the word with .
stammer and look Of establishment.
Eyes, sir-duty," repeated Keeri,
even more emphatically than before.

VELVET SLEEVES ARE DEAD.

In Paris velvet sleeves went out with
the old year. The newest gowns have
velvet bodices, but sleeves of the same
material as the skirt. 1t was high time
that a change should be effected in this
direction, for the sameness in the style
of evening gowns was getting monoto-
nous. A celebrated photographer re-
Gently remarked that it was quite relief
to "take" lady in a dress that hadn't
velvet sleeves. Every really dressy
gown now must have pelerine on the
bodice which may be detachable or a
part of the dress, according to the
wearcr's taste. One of the most re-
markable dresses of this kind yet seen
was black figured cloth, with bodice
of purple velvet, finished in front with
a sort of cascade edged with mink, and
sleeves of black with band Of velvet
and fur at the wrist. The skirt was
enormously full and stiffened with a
horsehair lining; but the greater part OF
the fulness was confined to the back. 1t
had fairly deep border of velvet round
the hem, ON which was placed band of
mink, and had no darts at the top, but
was "easicd" into the waist. The
bodice had detachable pelerinc OF the
black cloth edged with fur, and arranged
with much fulness on the shoulders. -

by the employees of a London dressmaker
may possibly prove of interest. 1t must
be understood, of course, that the estab-
lishment in question is one of the first in
London, but about the same salaries arc
paid by most of the leading firms: Lady
managers get $500 per annum with

$500; second assistants, $500; two third
assistants, $500 each; one accountant
$500; and six showroom women salarie.
ranging from $500 to $500 per annum
In addition to the above there are abou
one hundred workmen who earn from S;
to Sc per week.

from the wrong bottle. She shriekei out
that she was poisoned. One of the

What One Sees in the Moon.

magnities the surface of our sister world

yet brought to bear, however, no trace
of inhabitants of any sort has as yet been
discovered, though did such thing as
large town exist it could easily be de-
fined with such good view of the lunar
surface as that obtained by employing a
glass such as that mentioned.
Even to the naked eye the moon pre-.
sents the appearance of having ragged
and uneven surface, end it is needless to
add that the telescope confirms this
opinion. Astronomers tell us that on
many parts of the visible portion of the
moon very high mountains exist; also
that the elevation of these peaks has
been determined by measuring and care.

THE SUMMER GIRLS WAIST.

Shirt waists and blouses promise to be
even more popular than ever during the
coming season. The principal cha nge
in them for the new season, is the use OF
n full frill, wide around the shoulders
and graduated in width to the waist.
This gives the effect of bretelles. Heavy
cotton cheviots and linens will be more
use for these shirts than lighter goods.
The silk shirt waists seem to retain their
place. The French couturieres have
adopted the shirt waist idea in many of
their rich costumes of wool with silk OF
velvet. Blouses of plaid or rainbow
velvet continue to be shown with many
French costumes where the skirt and re.
mainder of the dress are of shaggy, wool
camels' hair.-Detroit Free Press.

Ancient City OF Lubbock.

The city of Lubbock, Germany, which
will shortly celebrate its seven hundred
and fifty-third anniversary. has rather
an interesting history. TIE city was
founded in 1140, was coded to the
Dukes of Saxony eighteen years later.
and in 1901 was taken by the Danes. 1t
was made free imperial city in 1926,
when the Danish garrison was expelled,
and in 1241 it became the head of the
Hnnseatic League. Butcher took refuge
in Lubbock to avoid the French army,
when it was carried by assault and suf-
fered three days pillagc, in November,
1906. November IL, 1910, the city
was annexed to the French Empire, ano
regained its freedom in 1913, after the

REpA1n1Ne SUEDE GLOVES.

I saw pair OF Suede gloves that most
women would have discarded made as
good as new the other day, writes q
correspondent. Several of the thong
pieces between the fingers had given out,
though-otherwise the gloves were nearly
as good as new. So out came pair of
sharp scissors and an old pair of gloves
of similar color. The worn pieces
were carefully ripped out aud laid
lengthwise on IN unsoiled place in one
of the old gloves, as q pattern. The
new pieces were then neatly stitched In
place. Some people believe it to be q
matter of economy to have more than
one pair of gloves Of the same color, as
sometimes it is the right aud sometimes
the left glove that is worn out first. The
better glove if laid aside may chance to
become the mate of one from the second
pair. or may be used in mending. AS a
matter of economy, however, the habit
Of buying stockings of the same color
and quality by the half dozen is of more
