A FRENCHMAN has discovered a
process by which eggs can be kept in
definitely and retain their freshness
of taste for more than year. Ac.
cording to this man. who is chemist,
it is useless to paint or render air
tight the outside of the shell while
air remains within the egg. Each
egg contains within its shell little
air chamber, containing sufficient air
to dccompose the alLumcn even with
out the aid of any which might filter
through the pores of the shell. This
is the reason that all attempts at
present known have been failures.
This chemist drives out this air by
in Getting into the egg a solution Of
salt and water. When the air is ex-
hausted the tiny opening is hermeti-
cally sealed with a drop of sealing
wax. Then the egg will keep its
fresh taste any length of time. II
this proves to be a practical method
Of preserving eggs, it will make quite
change in the business equalizine
as it will the supply Of that com.
modify.

In these days when the black
mailer is SO much abroad in the land,
people of narrow fortune have ample
occasion to congratulate themselves
that they are not millionaires. For
the man who stands on a pedestal of
wealth is nowadays assailcd with a
boldness whi h must startle him into
belief in the helplessness of money.
Male and female blackmailcrs, like
the nimble and Unsuitable mosquito,
worry their victims almost toa frenzy,
and are as hard to drive away or to
crush as the same annoying insect.
Perhaps the chief tormcnts of men
of money when they are punctured

infantry far exceeds that OF the
French or German army: so does its
cavalry; but its artillery and engineer
forces are much smaller than those
of France, and barely equal those of
Germany Austria probably stands
fourth, in number of men and equip

close. On the sea, Great Britain
leads. with the largest number Of
armored vessels, second largest num-

and second largest number of men.
Further, Great b titan has just built

France stands second, having since
1871 spent much money intelligently
on her fleet. She stands third in the
number of armor-clads, first in cruis-

mount; second in the heavy guns, Tut
first in number of men. Italy, soon
after 1870, begin to build up its navy,

third in cruisers, first in heaviest
guns, and fourth in heavy guns, and
fourth in number of men. Russia
comes second in number of armor-

of being bottled up largely in the

CHAPTER WI.

On this bright June morning Crown
Leighton seems to be wearing Its fair
est dress. For six long months the
place nas hee.l dreary and desolate,
given up to the rule Of servants, un-
cared for save by those whose care was
hired. All was different to-day; from
roof to basement the grand old man
sion had been set in perfect and pie-
turesque order. There was no trace Of
confusion; the flowers were all bloom
ing, the birds singing, the fountains
throwing up their sllvery spray, the
long white lace hangings drawn aside,
and the sumptuous rooms filed with
warmth and fragrance.
Flags and banners waved over the
tall ancestral trees, bands Of music
were stationed in the park, the bells Of
Leighton church rang out with jubi-
liant music such as had not sounded
from the old gray spire for many q
year.
The tenantry, the humorous bands Of
lsborers, the poor dependents and PEN
sioners, the large household of Crown
Leighton, were all assembled to well

Mr.. Clements was to bring her, and
with her was to come Lady Fanshawe,

mother, q stately, aristocratic dame,
who for the fami1y's sake had consented
to live as duenna and chaperon with
the young countess.
Orders had been given to prepare

Miss Templeton, whose affection for
her once despised governess-pupil had
reached such height that she could
not bear to be parted from her, and had
accepted an invitation to att,nd Lady
Charnleigh on her triumphal coming
home.
The June sun was pouring down q

flowers, and tho bells were pealing mer-

Then Mr.. Clements took her hand
and led her forward; in his heart he
4elt that 1t was . lonely coming home
for her, with no friend, no relative, no
mother or sister to meet her on tho
threshold Of her new life, and bid her
-God-speed.
He took her hand and led her to
where the June sunbeams fell on her.
Lady Charnleigh bids me thank
you, he said, sfor the welcome you
have given her; and she bids me say
that the nearest and dearest interest
in her heart will be yours.
Heaven do to me as do to them,
he heard her sny, gently. Then she
smiled and bowed with q grace that
seemed all her own, and the great
doors were thrown open. =.
Again Mr.. Clements was mastcr of
the ceremonies. The housekeeper,
Mrs. Fearon, made her most respectful
salutation to Lady Charnleigh, and mem
toned her long years Of service. Lady
Charnleigh held out her hand with q
smile, and 80 won her heart forever.
Then the butler, Mr.. Clarkson, came
forward, and received the gracious
words with which the new mistress of
Crown Leighton inaugurated her reign.

said, In v0ics as clear and sweet as

there was not q servant In Grown

down their life for the kindly young

TO Be coSr1NuEp.i
Disastrous Tornadoes.

The first tornado recorded in Ameri-
ca dates back to the May Of 1851.
South Carolina was the district then
afflicted. In 1910 q tornado struck
Natchez, Miss, tearing houses into
fragments, killing 3l7 people, carrying
some Of them long distances through
the air, seriou:ly injuring 100 oth-
ers, sinking between sixty and
seventy vessels, flooding the city
to the depth OF . foot, and passing
of within four minutes from the in
slant that it made its first appearance.
In 1912 another tornado visited
Natchez with even more disastrous re-
suits, leaving behind It upon this oc-
casion between four and FIVE hundred
dead.
For nearly forty years there was .
cessation Of these visitations, namely,
until April 1s, 1880, when Marshfeld,
in Ozark Township, the capital OF
Webster County, Mo-, was totally de-
stroyed by q Cyclone that struck Il and
lot 1t In five minutes. At that time
Marshfe6 had population Of 660
only, but It was an enterprising town,
with an unusually large number Of
houses for its population. After tho
cyclone had passed, leo Of It's popular
tion had been killed, and Of the re-
naming 655 every individual was se-
riously injured.
Previous to the experience Of .
week ago, che most destructive torna-
do the United States has experienced
was probably that which struck Louis.
vile, KY, and the neighboring States
on the afternoon Of March q, 1890.
The tornado, accompanied by . tor
rife rain, entered the city Of Louis-
vile at one side, passed through, leav-
ing It at the opposite side, and in it,
wake two square miles Of prostrato
buildings, one hundred dead, and .
vast amount of suffering.

Never having been in a railway sta

ing in, and determined to follow her
lead.
The lady went to the ticket box,
and putting down her money said.

Her ticket was duly handed to her,
and she walked away.

money and shouted, 'sPatrick
