fend himself, he took refuge in grim
silence and kept his whole attention,
outwardly at least, upon his news
paper.
North lifted his eye brows with an air
Of surprise, as II he were utterly unable
to understand such absolute stoicism.
Leaning back in his chair he "gorgon-
lied" the unhappy Wee for several
moments with "stony British stare"
apparently lost in contemplation Of
that gentleman's hardened and de-
praved nature.
Mr.. Wescott. while betraying by his
expression Of heroic suffering that he
was conscious Of this provoking
scrutiny, succeeded for q short time in
keeping his eyes fixed upon the news
paper, which he rustled nervously now
and then in his painful effort TO appear
unconscious; but there is a limit to hui
man endurance, and he finally reached
that point.
Rising, without any visible change In
his grave countenance, Mr.. Wescott
drew out his watch and calmly noted
the time; then, with the air OF man
who goes to meet a very pressing en-
gagement, he took up his hat and with
drew from the Office as II utterly un-
conscious of Norths presence there.

quized North, calmly surveying the
field that he had won. "Wec drove me
from the Office when was here before,
and now have compelled him 10 beat

may therefore consider ourselves quits.
But l cannot remain here TO enjoy my

out my original intention Of calling on
Mrs. Maynard, unless some untoward
fate again interferes."
With this faint hope he left the Office
and started once more toward Della
plaine street, arriving at No. Ss with
out incident or delay.
Mrs. Maynard came down TO the draw
ing-room 10 receive him, looking 30 Ill
that he could not repress the exclama-
ton Of solicitude that rose TO his lips.
Her extreme pallor, heightened no
doubt by the plain black dress that she
wore, really startled him; and the heavy
shadow Of weariness, the pathetic lines
of care that within few short hours
had appeared upon that proud, beauti-
full face, told Of anxious thoughts and
genuine heart sorrow.

H.adgear Ia the Last Century.

Stewart, the great hair-drcsser, says
"At no period in the history Of the
world was anything more absurd in
head-dress worn than at the close Of
the eighteenth century. The body Of
these monuments Of ugliness was
formed OF tow, over which the hair was
turned and false hair added in great
curls, boas and ties and powdered In
profusion, then hung all over with vul-
carly large rows Of pearls or glass
beads, fit only TO decorate n cbandel-
lier. Flowers rs o3trusive were stuck
about this heap Of fnery, which was
surmounted by broad, silken bands and
great ostrich feathers, until the head
dress Of lady added three feet to her
stature" Imagine the discontinue Of
people who attended the play and
wished 10 view the stagel Three feet
of fnery hiding from sight the very
thing one came TO seel In this era Of
tiny theater bonnets, the picture drawn
by the famous Stewart reduces TO n
minimum the reconsideration on the
part Of our women Of to-day, who but
yesterday or quite recently wore the
broad, 1arfng street hat 10 the theater
and expected the people sitting behind
to dodge about In order TO catch an oc-
casional glimpse Of the play and suffer
from q crick In their necks for days
thereafter. Y. Commercial Adver-

ness connection with you, upon your
self, ask you in all sincerity, entreat
you in all seriousness, adjure you in
the sacred name Of friendship, to bring
the same to my remembrance at once,
or else forever after hold your peace!"
AS he spoke thus with a provoking
little twinkle In his eyes, North threw
himself into an easy chair close beside
Wee and leaned over confdentially to-
ward that gentleman. n-
Mr. Wescott, who still had his news
paper spread out before him, rustled 1t
slightly as he gave his shoulders pet
ulant shrug, and without glancing up
he growled:
What should / know about your
private affairs? I've never meddled
with them, so far as am aware. Have

at North now for an instant.
"No, mol thousand times mol" cried
North with ready volubility; when Wee
dryly cut him short with:

"Ah, but my dear Wee, that does not
settle It'll" exclaimed North fervently.

heartless way over my first real at

tion urges me on to this decisive step.

to you, and duty that owe to my
self. Come, nowl Can't you help me a
little, Wee, in such commendable
undertaking? Stop reading that Daily
Times upside down and give me the
benefit of your wise counsel"
But Mr.. Wescott was deaf to all ap-
peals. Exasperated by an attack from

air ofanxiety with which he was regard

This introduction of painful sub
ject which she nevertheless knew per-
fectly well was unavoidable, visibly
distressed her; but she conquered her
feelings bravely and answered without
tremor In her voice:

AIR IN LIQUID FORM.

Interesting Experiments Performed Re-
Gently by Prof Dewnr, OF London.

lecture ut the Royal institution a few
days ago on liquehed oxygen and lique-
fed air, says the London Spectator. lie

liquefed air, the oxygen In pints Even
the liquefied mir was handed around In
claret glasses.
Liquid oxygen boils IN al at minus
1s2 degrees centigrade-that Is iS2 de-
grees of the centigrade scale below
zero. The liquid oxygen placed be-
tween the poles Of Faraday's great mag
net behaved like metal, leaping up TO
the poles and clinging TO them till it
disappeared as gas. Butliquid oxygen,
though so strongly magnetic, is n very
bad conductor OF electricity. II is

lie showed, too, that so far as chem
lists can judge, there is probably no
oxygen in the sun-the oxygen of the
earth's atmosphere accounting for all
the oxygen lines in the solar spectrum.
The boiling point of liquid air is minus
1872 degrees centigrade or ten degrees
lower than that of oxygen. II is not
true, as had been supposed, that the
oxygen in the air liquefes before the
other elements in air; on the contrary,
the air liquefies as air and is not re-
solved into its elements before liquefy-
ing. II this globe were cooled down TO

gas thirty-fve feet deep, Of which about
seven feet would be liquid oxygen.

Notwithstanding the despondent
resignation in the words, there was q
suggestion Of hope-a faint intangible
hope that was very like despair-in her
voice and in the swift glance that she
raised TO his face.
She must have found very little en-
couragement there, for she instantly re-
lapsed into frozen calm which in con-
trast with her usual sparkling vivacity
seemed like strange, apathetic indif-
ference; and clasping her hands list
lessly in her lap she awaited his re-
