A Tale of Love, Desertion and

CHAPTER II.-ConAnnsd.
It'll hold one less tonight, she said
looking at the fire.
"What are you talking about?" he
asked in querulous suspicion.
She drew a paper from hcr pocket.
"It's that draft Of yours that you
were crazy enough to sign Dawson s
name to-. 1t was lying out there on the
desk. Ireckon 1t isn't thing you care
TO have kept as evidence, even by your
father.
She held it in the flames until it was
consumed.
by Jove, your head is level, Lottie.'
he said, with an admiration that was
not, however, without weak reserve OF
suspicion. =.
.No, it isn't, or I wouldn't be here,
she said, curtly. Then she added, as IL
dismissing the subject: We'll, What
did you tell herr"

Ban Francisco three weeks ago. VI
course, 1 said we were married"
She looked at him with weary aston.
ishment.
And, Of course, whether things &C
right or not, she'll find out that I've got
q husband living, that I never met you
In New York, but on the steamer, and
that you've lied. 1 don't see the use
of it. You said you we're going to tell
the whole thing scuarely and say the
truth, and that's why I came to help
you" ,,,,
Yes; but don't you see, hang it all!
he stammered, in the irritation Of weak
confusion, Il had to tell her something.
Father won't dare to tell her the truth,
no more than he will the neighbors.
He'll hush it up, you bet; and when we
get this thing fixed you'll go and get
your divorce, you know, and We'll be
married privately on the square"
He looked so vague, so immature,
yet 80 fatuously self-confdent, that the
woman extended her hand with laugh
and tapped him on the back as she
might have patted dog. Then she
disappeared to follow Zuleika in the
kitchen.
When the two women returned to-
gether they were evidently on the best
terms; so much that the man with the
easy reaction Of a shallow nature be-
came sanguine and exalted, even to an
ostentatious exhibition of those New

uslly the island is deserted by all save
the tired officials and the detained i'm.
migrants.
A sorry-looking crowd is this last
From the detention pen they watch
the fortunate ones who pass the bar
rier with envious eyes, looking eager
ly at every stranger who approaches
them to see if there is not some hope
coming from somewhere. In all the
driven AMI badgered crowd that passes
to The boats there is none which is not
light hearted, for the red tape ordeal
is over. The prisoners in the deten'
ton pen have nothing to buoy them
up. After coming all this way to reach
this land OF promise, they get only q
glimpse and are sent back to tine VII"
derness again.
One of the queerest personages on
the island is the barber. 1t IS hardly
correct TO call his place a shop, Tor 1t
is merely corner OF the big room
where the barber has placed chair
nul hung up mirror and q towel or
two. Judging from the condition Of
the majority of the immigrants, the
barber is an institution sadly needed
at Ellis Island, but few seem to utilize
his services, advertised at the prices
of twenty cents for hair cut and ten
cents for shave.
The crematory at Ellis Island is an
other very necessary accessory. 1t is
not intended for the cremation OF hu-
man bodies, but merely to give the
clothing OF suspicious arrivals a thor
ough chance to shake off any disagree
able associations with infectious dis
case or obnoxious insects
Fairly good arrangements appear to

1t was scarcely daylight when Zuleika,
while dressing, heard quick tapping
upon her shutter. She opened it to the
scared and bewildered face Of her
brother.
What happened with her and father
last night?" he said, hoarsely.
Nothing-why2"
Read that. 1t was brought to me
half an hour ago by man in dads
sleigh, from the stage station"
He handed her O orumpled note with
trembling figures. She took it and read:
The game is up and I'm out Of it.
Take my advice and clear out Of it too,
until you can come back in better shape.

High Mountain Observatory.

A considerable sum of money is am
nually expended in maintaining high
mountain observatories. A meteoro-
graph has recently been constructed
for the summit OF Mount Blanc, at q
cost of $4,000, the clockwork OF which
will remain in action without any at
tention for eight months. The high
est of the observatories is at the top
of the Misti, near Arequipa, Peru,
which is 19,200 feet above sea level.
The observatory on Mount Washing
ton is G2S6 feet above sea level, the

down upon his knees, rubbing them down
deliberately toward his ankles, and lean

He was still in this attitude when
