She told him of her housekeeping nd
of her sudden decision, her journey
and then of the nice old lady.
eff only had mother like her, il
would be such a happiness!" she cried
But here they are already at their
journeys end. The gondola has stop
ped; she has alighted, helped by Gino.
But where is she? Not at home.
so Gino!" she says, "let me &c
homer
Trust me, darling, and come" is
all the reply which he vouchsafes her.
She is so bewildered that she follows
him like one in a dre"m. He holds
her hand.
Here she is, mother dear" he says
at last, tell her that we may be
happy"
Agelina stands in q beautiful par
Tor, trembling before an old lady in
an armchair. She sees only hand
stretched in welcome, and hears the
words: my daughter"
She llneels at the feet of the dear
old lady, and all she says is: "Oh,
have so wished that you might be my
mother since yesterday"
For she is indeed the marchesa. She
cannot rise, she cannot extend both
hands, but her eyes tell of the love
she has in her heart for the chosen
wife of her son.
"You shall never be alone again at
Christmas, my daughter. Make my
Gino happy"
"Ah, have you no word for your
father, my child?" says another voice,
and again Angelina is held by the
encircling arms of Gino's father.
"God bless you both! And now
quickly come TO supper and light the
fire of JOY. Would you like to burn
the log brought you, my pet?" says
Gino teasingly.
Supper is over.
1t his been made happy by mutual
condolences
II have no regret for my misfor-
tune" says the mother, and as she
does not suffer, she is happy as the re-
suit. Gino had told her as soon as he
arrived of his attachment, and while
they were hcsitating to accept the
stranger as u daughter, destiny had
brought them nearer each other.
They sit and talk until the door
opens AMI the smiling old face OF
Marghcrita looks in A happy Christ
mas, and please, signorina, may we
remain in Venice now?"
Eyes, my good Margherita." And
she smiles gratefully at her lover, who
has not neglected to include the faith
full old woman in his plans for the
Christmas celebration. Angelina has
quite forgotten that she was ever an
CRY with him.

My friends who knew me when / was
n rich girl, or at least thought l was
rich, left me when misfortune came,
though not without n word of good
advicew She smiled bitterly. But
soon her better nature conquered and
she added: Il am no better than they
were, for I have forgotten the one
good friend left to me. Our old serv-
ant did not abandon me, and l should
have forgotten to buy her Christmas
gift If it had not been for youp'
In few words she then told the old
lady that she vas teacher and earn
ing her own living. BY that time they
had reached Meereoria, and turning
into one of the little streets branch
ing off from that, they stood before
an old palace.
Upon ringing, the door was opened
by an old gondolier, who seemed to do
also duty as a servant.
madonna santa!" he. cried, "what
has happened to the marchesa?" and
had he not been prevented, he would
in his fright have called all the house
together. But the marchesa said de-
cidedly: "Give me your arm, BATHS
ia, and keep quiet" Then, turning
to the girl standing in the door, she
added: "Grazie, thanks a thousand
times, dear child. And please give
me your name and address. hope
we may meet again"
Angelina gave the desired informa-
ton reluctantly, for she felt almost
hurt at the brcvity of this farewell.
But the old lady suddenly extended
her hand and, pressing Angelina IS, said
gently: $50 and buy Margherita her
present. Good-by."
Angelina stood alone. Why had
she felt almost happy, leading this
old lady? Now she realized again
how lonely she was. But Margherita,
at least, would be glad to see her, so
she hurried to dear old San Marco,
and tried TO pray. Alas! she could
think of nothing. "Ah!" she sighed,
IF only had a mother"

In ltle show.

A side show attached to a circus
which showed in country town in
West Virginia last summer had u
big sign: "Only ten cents to see
the most wonderful thing in the
world" Persons curious enough to
pay the dime, found a man sitting on
chair inside whiting a piece oil
wood. AS he cut away, with an out
ward sweep OF his knife, he re-
marked: "Gentlemen, always whit
tie like this. and you will be in no
danger OF cutting yourselves. )" This
was the whole show People who
had been duped were so anxious To
have company that they went out
and advised their friends to go in,
and it is claimed that the side show
did moro business than the circus.

Transparent Leather.

According to the Magasin Pittor-
esaue, transparent leather may be
manufactured as follows: After the
hair has been removed from the hide,
the latter. tightly stretched upon a
frame. is rubbed with the following
mixture: Glycerole (264 B.)1,0J0
parts salicylic acid, parts; pioric
acid. 2 parts; boric acid, rs parts.
Before the hide is absolutely dry
it is placed in a room which the
rays of the sun do not peno-
trate. and is saturated with
solution Of bichromate OF
potash. When the hide is very dry
there is applied to its surface an al
coholic solution Of tortoise shell,
and transparent aspect is thus OBJ
tanned. This leather is exceedingly
flexible. 1t is used for the manu-.
facture of toilet articles, but there
is nothing to prevent 1t from being
used for foot-gear, and, perhaps, with

TIE END.
The Electric Telegraph.

The electric telegraph in its present
practical shape was the invention OF
an American artist S. f. B. Morse.
In old times people sent messages by
objects shown on high ground, by
lights displayed at night or by bonfires
kinded on the hills Even the wild
Indians scut Intelligence across the
plains by waving blanket over a fire
and thus making q ''smoke signal.
In 1925 Morse set mp and worked a
Geographic wire. But it was nine
years later before he could persuade
congress Inappropriate money to sci
up the FIRST line. In 1S4f the first
message was sent from Washington iC
Baltimore.

Stopping at one of the stores
she purchased warm shawl
for Margherita; then crossing the
piazza, she took n gondola, and in a
short time found herself at the door of
her own house.
1t was quaint little palace, con-
tanning only few rooms, but it was
her home, and she had once been rich
and happy in it. Margherita was
watching for her darling mistress.
The people who had rented it were
from the Galore and had gone to their
country home for the holidays, leaving
an old man in charge of the house.
He had been gondOlier for Angelina's
parents, so that he and Margherita
were old friends, and he, too, loved
Angelina-''la padroncina," as he called
her.
Soon the poor child had forgotten
her loneliness, sitting and chatting
with those two humble but devoted
friends.
The next evening was Christmas
eve, and Angelina, made some pur-
chases also for the old man, and pro-
vided for nice little supper. Clio
vanni, the gondolier, was TO take her
to mass at seven, and then she would
come home and have a quiet evening,
As she returned from her errands, she
saw gondola leave her door, and
Giovanni standing at the door gazing
after it with a curious expression. He
was holding little log of wood in
his hand.
"What Is it, Giovanni?"
81 am 20 give this to the signorina "
He handed her the little log, Angel
ina well knew where it came from.
While she had been shopping, she had
seen Gino in the distance with gen.
tleman, his father, no doubt, and her
heart nearly stood still She hoped
he had not seen her, and she hurried
hastily into store. The log showed
that he had noticed her, and she was
glad he had not stopped to speak to
her.
Soon it was dark, and Angelina
dressed carefully TO go to the so-called
midnight mass" which talSesplace at
seven. She had turned the log of wood
over and over, hoping to find mes
sage there, but the only thing she
found was the date of the day carved
on il.
AS she stepped into San Marco she
told Giovanni where to wait for her,
and he returned TO his gondola. She
had not seen how he had. exchanged u
sign with some one in the distance.
i The mass began, and she became
completely absorbed in il. She was
recalled to herself by the close vicin-
ity of some one, who seemed TO pro.
tect her from the crowd. She did not
look up. She knew it was Gino, and a
sudden calm came to her soul. She
became lost TO all but the pleasure of
knowing that he was there.
Mass was over. People hurried to
get home. II was bitter cold. Ange-
lima stepped out into the air. when
suddenly Gino seized her hand. Draw
ing il through his arm he led her TO a
Condo n. No word was spoken until
Angelina found hersef under the cover.
She said: "Gino, my dear, you must
go TO your mother We have to-mor-
row to be happy in"
~ shall go to riy mother, darling,
never fearl And now tell me about
yourself. 1t is SO good that you came!'

THE LOCAL CONTEST IN KINDS.

While In Jackson last Thursday the
editor of TIE LEADER gathered some
facts about the present status OF the
local contest against the saloons in
Kinds. Jackson is the only place in
Kinds county that has had a licensed
dramshop since the local option cam
paign of 1886. One time last winter
the number there was reduced by fights
carried on by counter petitions to two,
but counter petition containing the
names of a majority of ali the legal NO
tors of the city could never be secured
and the few aggressive ProhibltioniSts
who were carrying on the unequal con
test, finally decided to get uf Il petit
ton for county election and appeal
to the whole county at the ballot box.
The liquor men, taxing advantage OF
their temporary victory, got af pore
liquor petitions, and, as a result, Jack
son now has eight instead OF two high
licensed dramshops. paying 20 the State
and city together 1920 each. This Is
said TO be an over-crop, and one gen
tleman who had the best of facilities
for knowing what he was talking about,
said none of them were making the
money anticipated.
The Proiibitionists thought of filing
their petition calling for an election
the first Monday in June. fhePe were
then 2010 names on the county regis
tration books, and they had on their
petition 975 signatures. The commit
tee having the petition in charge, dis
covered, however, 10y hasty canvass
ing Of their petition and comparing It
with the registration books, that the
number Of legal signatures would be
reduced to only something over 100,
and while that number was eminentiy
sufficient for calling the election, they
decided 10 postpone and make vigor-
GUS canvass for more signatures until
the July meeting of the Board. 1t was
expected the petition would be filed
yesterday and the election ordered 10
take place about the last Of July or first
of August. Sam Jones has promised TO
come before the campaign closes ana
will speak at several places in the coun-
ty.
Mr.. 7. +. Barr, ftev. 4, +. Watkins,
G. II. Alexander, Esq, and Capt. CALVIN
Wells are leading the fight. Probably
the man who has done most Of all is
Mr.. Barr, who is one OF Jackson's lead
ing young business men and nn up
right Christian gentleman who has
the courage Of his convictions on all
occasions. II the Capital City had 10
men in il like Tom Barr, a dram shop,
gambling hell or brothel could never
flourish there again.

The New Orleans States, one Of the

tariff bill which Congress has been
tinkering on for the past six months,
is "a protective measure, nothing more
than slight reduction of duties on
protective lines, hence only slight
modification of the odious Mckinley
bill, and hence a cheat and mockery
of the pledges of the Democratic plat
form" Just give 'em "a chance" they
said.
