slowly, land you will at once rejoin
your old division commander, who is
now at the head of the Tenth army corps.
But" he said, after a deliberate pause,
there are certain rules and regulations
of your service that even 1 cannot with
decent respect to your department over
ride. You will, therefore, understand
that you cannot rejoin the army in your
former position"
The slight flush that came to Brant's
cheek quickly passed. And there was
only the unspeakable sparkle of re-
newed youth in his frank eyes as he
said: Let me go to the front again,
Mr.. President. and care not how
The president smiled, and. laying his
heavy hand on Brant's shoulder, pushed
him gentle toward the door of the in

he added. as he opened the door, that
it would be necessary for you to re-
join your promoted commander as a
major general. And" he continued,
lifting his voice, as he gently pushed his
guest into the room, ''he hasn't even
thanked me for it, Miss Faulkner"
The door closed behind him, and he
stood for a moment dazed, and still
hearing the distant voice of the presi-

chievously toward him. The same
quick, sympathetic glance was in both
their faces; the same timid. happy
look in both their eyes. He moved
quickly to her side.

he grasped her hand.
She cast half appealing look at his
face half frightened one around the
room and at an open door beyond.

1t is but few years ago that the
humble chronicler of these pages moved
with wondering crowd of sightseers
in the gardens of the white house. His
attention was attracted by an erect,
handsome, soldierly looking man, with
beard and mustache slightly streaked
with gray, who, with a stately lady on
his arm, was pointing out the various
objects of interest to boy of IL or Il
at their side.
"And although. as told you, this

United States Consul Norris. at
Client, has reported an interesting fact
to the State Department regarding the
manufacture Of incandescent lamps. It
is that the most expensive product in
the world is the charcoal thread en-
ployeG in the lamps to furnish the
light This will be interesting news to
the people who use electric light night
ly without being cognizant of such a
proximity Of wealth. It is, for the
most part, manufactured at Paris and
comes from the hands Of an artist.
This product is sold at wholesale bv
the gramme, and, reducing this price
to the basis of pounds. 1t is easily found
that the filaments for lamps of twenty
candle-power are worth $4,000 per
pound, and for the lamps Of thirty
candle-power the fabulous sum OF s12.-
600 per pound. The former have a
diameter of twenty -thousandths Of one
millimeter, or 7.s74-ten-milIionths. and
the latter less than one-fifth of this
size.
