CHAPTER XNrI.

Miss Rane's thoughts were not pleas
ant ones. She had always believed that
the following out of ones own inclination
was the principal charm of life, and she
concerned herself with nothing higher or
noblrr than the pursuit of pleasure. She
had loved Captain Wynyard when it vas
ITO sin to love him, and, when he had
married. she refused to impose any self
restraint upon herself. She had followed
the bent of her own inclination, and in
plain. pathetic words Angela had placed
before her the result. She was not we'll
pleased with herself, and. as she sat on
the old tree-trunk, with the golden sun
shine all around her. a faint doubt came
to her as to whether she had done the
best she could with her life.
II think" she said to herself. "if l had
my life to live over again. l should act
differently in many ways; and I am nor
quite sure that l do not wish / had never
seen Vance Wynyard. When a fact is
placed before one in very plain words, it
has n different aspect"
hen Gladys ltane rose. and. as she
did so. her eyes fell upon the silver-gra-
wrapper. which the wind was blowing
further and further away. Woman-like,
she was attracted by. the delicacy of the
material, and she fastened to pick up the
article.

self; ''and how lovely it is!' She shook
out the fine, glistening folds, with all o
woman's admiration for what is most
beautiful in dress. " must send it to
her." she thought. "What a pity that
she left it here!"
As the easiest way of carrying it, she
placed 1t round her shoulders, at the
SANE time fastening the clasps; and then,
as she wandered on, it occurred to her
that she did not know her road. She had
not walked either on the high-roas or
through the clover-fields before, and so
she did not know which way to turn.

Laura Clay of Kentucky spoke for that

A report from Mrs. Annie l.. Diggs of
Kansas on Campaign Conditions turn
ed out to be one of the sensations of the
session. 1t was mostly devoted to scoring
political parties. The convention empha-

to accept the report.
Mr.. Henry B.. Blackwell, in remem-
brance of his wife, the late Lucy Stone,
submitted a report on presidential suf-
frage, declaring that not much progress
had been made during the last year be-
cause of the exciting election. He ad-

- tOf GLASS which Never
Leaks and Will Not Break.
Windows of cloth instead of glass

su"l II substitute is an acknowledged
success. 1t is not ordinary cloth, but
such as is translucent, through which

Now. the remarkable feature of this
new fabric is that it never leaks, does
not break and is nearly One-thiru cheap

which has been in constant use long
enough to show its worth. remains in
perfect condition, not IL cent having
been spent on it for repairs.
The material has many advantages
claimed for it, chief of which is that by
it's employment in train sheds. freight
houses, large auditoriums and public
buildings having skylights of large
area, the light weight of the material
permits of Il simple. inexpensive and
light form of skylight construction.
The joints are made water-tight by q
special method used with this material.
The translucent fabric consists Of q
transparent material spread over steel
wire cloth, with twelve meshes per inch,
which gives the panels a flexible and
elastic quality permitting it's adjust

or contraction of the framework. The

1t might be naturally assumed that
the translucent qualities of the fabric
would be much inferior to that of glass,
but a careful comparison has shown
that the amount of light which it trans

She had not noticed the direction IN
which she had come when she walked
with Angela.
Then, to her infinite delight, she saw in
the distance q sheet of water. She did
not recognize it-she had never seen it
before; but then she had not explored
the whole of Culdale Park.
The sheet of water was evidently a
small ornamental lake, for a fountain
was in the center, the water from which
fell with a sound that vas like delicious
music on this oppressive evening. On
one side of the lake run IL narrow terrace
of white stone, with steps leading down
to the waters edge.
The very aspect of the place, with the
noise of softly falling water, spoke of rest
and peace, and to Gladys, thoroughly
tired with her long walk, the sight of it
was most welcome.
With a sigh of relief She sat down on
one of the steps leading from the terrace
TO the water, and, as she thus rested, a
gentle breeze came over the lake and
famed her hot face. The better to enjoy
1t, GLADYS removed her hat from her
head and let the breeze play among the
ripples of her hair. The music of the
falling water was sweet as a lullaby.
How thankful she was to sit down! Her
tired limos were at rest; hcr. burning
head aud face We're famed by the breeze,
her tired senses refreshed by the sounl
of the falling water.
Then sleep came md weighed down her
eyelids; she could moi resist it-and why

In Il few minutes Gladys Ranc was
lulled to sleep by the sound of the falling
waters. while the wind played with the
dark rirples of her hair. and stirred tl.
silver-gray folds of the wrapper. and, as
she Slept. II dream came to her.
1t was of Il shadow that followed her.
Il shadow that was dark and
ing and seemed to press her down-a
shade so terrible, so cold, so bluck.
that it caused her to shudder in her
sleep. Presently she woke for n moment
and cast a glancc at the loneliness of the
scene around her. then the white eyelids
closed again. Gladys Rane had looked
ON sunlight and water, on the ripple of
green leaves. on the blue sky for the last
