silver, potassium, platinum, mercury,
when subjected to the pressure were
visibly affected, the color being
changed. The opinion therefore, ex-
pressed by Lea, is that many Of the
salts of easily reducible metals, especi-
ally of silver, mercury and platinum,
undergo reduction by pressure, and as
such reductions are endothermic it
consequently follows that mechanical
force can bring about reactions which
require expenditure Of energy, which
latter is supplied by mechanical force
in the same way that light. heat and
electricity supply energy in the en-
dothermic changes which they bring
about.

1T occurred to them that bucket Of

his friends removed the body to an
other room, and one of the walkers,
with awful levity, stretched himself
on the bench, and assuming the rigid

be covered with the cloth. At this
juncture an old lady and an old man

very sweet and demure little lady
tired in a white lawn dress, with q
great red rose in the lace at her
throat, her blue eyes full of kindli-
ness, as she received her fathers
guest.
The evening passed socially, and
when Bessie retired that night she
could not help feeling that it had
been a very pleasant one. Days
passed, and Gerald Keith remained at
Burton place. He was very polite and
courteous in his manner to Bessie, but
he was quite attentive to her friend.
Gradually it came homef to Bessie
the state Of affairs, and she did not
approve.
'.IIe likes Mia" she said to her
self-her face flushing crimson and
he despises me because he overheard
my foolish words. They were fool
ish-for how do know anything in
regard to his real nature?"
But she was destined to find out.
That very evening she was walking
with Anita in a retired spot, some
distance from her home A pretty
stretch of woodland, with shining
river gliding swiftly by. All at once
there was the sound of rushing feet
upon the fallen leaves which strewed
the ground; and out of the woods,
just beyond them, a dog rushed mad
~ A huge animal with red, blood
shot eyes, and protruding tongue,
and jaws fiecked with foam.
One swift frightened glance and
the girls paused in horror.
The dog was mad.
On he came, making straight for
them. An instant more and he would
have sprung upon Bessie, who was
nearest him; but just at that moment
Gerald Keith suddenly appeared upon
the scene. Wrapping his handkerchief
about his left hand, he caught the
dog by its jaws, and with his right
hand drew a revolver which he thrust
into the wide open mouth. loud
report, lnuttered growl, and the
animal fell to the ground, rolling
over and over in the agonies OF
dissolution.
When Gerald Keith turned once
more toward the two girls. Bessie
caught his hand in both her own.
care you hurt??" she cried, excited
". "Oh, | pray you are not hurt!
Oh, Mr.. Keith, how brave and noble
you are..''
Not at all" he returned coolly;
'.of course any man would attempt TO
save his friends from such horrible
fatet'
''But-you are a hero.' stammered
Bessie, and II said such hateful
things about You. Can you ever for
give me. Mr.. Keith?"
Not if you persist in calling me
Mr.. Keith" he returned, smilingly.
Wont you call me Gerald, dear?
Bessie, | love You, / have always
loved you, l think; cant you overcome
your dislike of me and trv and love
me we'll enough in time to be my
wife,
And the golden head sank uron his
shoulder, utterly unmindful of Anita's
presence. while the red lips whis-
pered:
'.Yes.''
And SO Bessie found her here.

may be of any desired grotesque

range their children's futures in that
cold-blooded way. Don't you Anita?'
And pretty Bessie Burton drew her
slim figure up to its full height, and
tried to look stern.
Anita West glanced up from her
lace-work, and smiled deprecatingly.
But, Bessie, it was all done, nc
doubt, with the kindest intentions.
Your father and mother meant 1T for

You will learn to love Gerald Keith. 2
Never! Why, 'Nita, he is nothing

Of men. His hands are white and
soft-so is his head fancy; but
will confess / know very little con-
corning his intellectual qualities, as
have only met him twice since we
were children. You see, he has been
at college for years, then he travelled
all over Europe and Asia, and re-
manned from home for long, long
time: l was at school and only re-
turned last month-all finished, and
turned out upon a cold world. Mia,
/ have an-idea-an awful idea, dear
that if were to meet Gerald Keith
again, should hate him"
'Bess!'
q can't help it! Why, he is as gem
tie and effeminate in his ways as q
woman. Now, the man | love-if
ever learn to love any man-must be
brave! A real hero-not afraid of
anything. One who will distinguish
himself in some way-by brave,
heroic action. Not the sort Of man
that Gerald Keith suggests; a deli
cate, tender blossom, upon whom the
chill winds of adversely must not
blow. To imagine those dainty white
hands occupied with mental labor,
would be the. height of absurdity.
Mono; Nita, my dear-the man
marry must be brave-in short a
hero! | could never give my love to
any other. So stand chance Of
being a lone. lorn female to the last
day of my life. . She broke of with a
sweet outburst of laughter.
The two friends were seated upon a
vlne- covered veranda at the old-fasll-
toned home of Bessie Burton; and as
the musical laugh rang out upon the
air, a tail figure arose from a rustic
seat not far away, and slowly ap-
preached the house. The figure of a
man, attired in the very latest fashion.
He was extremely handsome in a
rather effeminate way, and his hands
were Enthusiastically white. He looked
like one who had never been forced
to come in contact with toll, or the
hard grind of business. He lifted his
hat with courtly bow.
