At last the machine was perfect. It's

The heat generated in the skin dia-
phragm by the dead bacili was indicated
by a Thermometer, and, Of course, the
quantity Of heat showed the intensity of
the passion.
When he had finished the machine, it
became necessary to 6x standard, aud
graduate the thermometer as TO zero, pro.

Fonson called MS friends 10 private

need be specified.
Mr. Langley and his fiance. Miss Jane
PrsTi, were the last this vas evidently
due his reluctance. Small wonder was it,
for Langley was a handsome, old young
msn who had been going il, till lis
fortune went, and then, after an eyentiul
heiress hunting, lad lighted upon Jane.
She, the heiress Of locIl builder, was
worth great deal more ttan her weight

and more of i hen than a chicken. Her
waIth had attracted numerous suitors.
However, she had been shregd enough
to gage their affection truly Langley.
whose state vas desperate, had attacked
her brilliantly. Instead Of protesting
sincere affection, ne had boldly ayOwed
taat he was af.er he money and that he
was feaffally hard up. A small syndi-
cate Of his creditors i4need him and
enabled to cut figure that bel:ed his
protested poverty. Miss PrAEl, bewilder
ed by his curious assault, fascinated by
his stsle-whieh was vastly superior to
that 81 any one else in TOoting-and con-
filent that his statement as TO his finan-
cial position were false, had come to the
conclusion that his cuPidity with a small
''c vas also pretense. 80 she accept
ed him yet, sith perverse caution, kept
postponlng the fatal day. Funds were
running short, the syndicate had grown
furious. and Langley seemed lost. The
eromeser appeared likely u complete his
ruia therefore It IS easy TO understand
his reluctance. However, Miss Jane de-
e!ared that his refusal wculd be a easus
beli. Ir. ronson, whose soul shudder-
ed at the idea of such wicked maneuEers,
