He had never seen her look like this
before. The habitual spirit of joyous
childishpess had passed out of her face,
which seemed clothed with modesty and
sadness.
Shehad not spoken sinceshe entered the
garnet. She had not even looked at Pat.
Though silent also for time, he was
first to speak.

"A fine chance, has she? An whut is
it," His heart stood still.
"Pietro Socola ees-a wan reech-a man,
Meester Pad. Wanna marry weeth-a

''The diviIs pitchfork! An whut does

''Say she won ID marry weeth-a heem.

Pat was speeches. with surging emo
ton, and the mother continued:
"Pietro Socola ees-a prormis me an

Oh, 'ees-a crazy fo' Clotta-lov' 'er so

Clotta do anytheen-a fo' you"
Pat was diplomat enough to see the
worse than futility of opposition. He
let her call Carlotta.
Paler than he had ever seen her, her
pallor exaggerating dark bruise upon
her cheek, but with her head erect, she
appeared before them.
''Whut ais yer face, Lottie?' said the
man gently as, drawing stool to his
side, he motioned to her to be seated.
She remained standing, however, and
the mother answered:
"When somebody slap-a company ina
face, muz-a show 'er how it feel to have-a
face slap"
San who done ut?'
'sMe myselve done it. Slap 'er face

C'lotta manners ana raise FER nice"
The tension of the situation here was
happily relieved by the Signor di Carlo,
who called loudly in Italian for his wife
+ to come and light up the shop. She
would have hesitated, but an imperative
'TNon posse sestareI Spicciatevi!' warned
her that her lord was impatient.
She rose hastily, slipping her feet deft-
ly from under the child, who had crept
up against her and fallen asleep, and
bidding Carlotta ''min-a the baby" hur-
riedly descended the stairs.
The child, disturbed, began to fret.
Seating herself, Carlotta raised the little
one upon her lap, where in a moment it
slept again.
She sat opposite Pat, in the seat her
mother had vacated. Sitting thus, with
the beautiful babe in her arms, in the
tender twilight which was further sensi-
tiled by the subtle insinuation of light
from a new moon which hung just with
out, she looked not unlike the statues in
the churches of the Virgin Mother and
Child.
Even Pat saw it and felt like crossing
himself as he looked upon her.

Those hands that once were white as snow.

To wake fond echoes of the heart?

CAUGHT BY ELECTRICITY.
A Worlds Fair Devise for Trapping Dis
honest VISITORS

honest Visitors.
Electrical thief catchers are in oper-
alton in some of the worlds fair sec
tions. Their operation is as follows:
Ross & Co. of London have an exhibit
in the British section of the Manufac-
lures building. For some time they
! have been missing valuable lenses.
Finally the case reached such proper
tons that it was decided to lay trap
for the thief.
Several lenses were temptingly dis
played within seemingly easy reach,
| but underneath each lay one end Of an
electric wire, to the other end of which
was attached a bell. The mechanism
was so arranged that, as soon as one of
these lenses was touched, an electric
bell would ring out like a telephone.
The guards in that section of the gal
lery were told of the trap and instructed
what action to take when the alarm
| sounded.
Just before the Manufactures build
ing was closed recently an elderly man,
emineptly respectable in appearance
and neatly dressed, passed along the
aisle and soon the gong was heard.
The guards rushed in and there on the
floor lay the lenses whose theft the old
|
arrested.

Although 25o,00o copies of George
Ohnet's '.Maitres de Forges" were sold
in three months, Zola has no doubt been
better paid for his work than Ohnet,
who had a fortune before ever commenc-
ing novel writing. The author Of LAS

press alone for the privilege Of printing
his stories: the publishers have paid him
$160,000 for 10 separate volumes, while
his theatrical fees for the last mentioned
novel aggregate $4,000. Yet as a proof
Of the never waning popularity Of the

Next to this costume the most appro-

one who can least afford it who goes to
the expense of a silk gown, and it is a

blamed if she has it made as distracting-
ly becoming as she can. She wouldn't
be natural or human il she didn't want
to look her best.
After all. though, in eny school that
which gives sweetness to the graduation
is not the dress, OF the exercises, OF the
congratulations of friends, 1t is the
thought Of difficulties overcome to reach
such d point and the realization Of equip
ment to help meet what lies ahead. No
one knows how many years it will take
to graduate from that greatest Of schools,
the university Of life, but every one re-
9lizes at commencement that the more
ones faculties have been trained the bet
ter one is fitted to go on in the classes of
the great university where the lessons
will be harder than ever before and the
pleasures and prizes be fewer.
Besides her diploma and flowers and
congratulations every true hearted grad
uate has taken away many good things
from her school life. Learning? Oh,
yes, that need not be mentioned. Of
course she takes that. But she also
takes some things infinitely more pre-
cious than learning, good as that is.
For one thing she has acquired trained
habits Of thought from the daily routine
of study. Her mind will act in coop

The charge entered the upper part of

picked up the bleeding form OF
