Hastings with much warmth and cordiality.
Pauline had time to recover herself before
Lady st Lawrence remembered her. She
had time to still the wild beating of her heart
to steady her trembling llps-but the flush
was still on her beautiful face and the light
In her eyes when he came up to her.
Lady 81. Lawrence spoke, but the words
sounded to Pauline as though they came
from afar off yet they were very simple.
Miss Darrell" she said, "let me introduce
my son to you."
Then she went back TO Miss Hastings,
eager to renew the conversation interrupted
by the entrance Of her son.
What did Sir Vane see In those dark eyes
that held him captivep What was looking
at him through that most beautiful face?
What was 1t that seemed TO draw his heart
and soul from him, never to become his own
againP To any other stranger he would have
spoken Indifferent words of greeting and
welcome; to this dark-eyed girl he could say
nothing. When souls have spoken, lips have
not much to say.
They were both silent for some minutes;
and then Sir Vane tried to recover himself.
What had happened to himp What strange,
magic influence was upon him? Ten minutes
since he had entered that room heart-whole,
fancy-free, with laughter on his lips, and no
thought Of coming fate. Ten minutes had
worked wonders of change; he was stand
ing now in a kind Of trance, looking into the
grand depths OF those dark eyes wherein he
had lost himself.
They said but few words; the calm and ST.
lence that fell over them during that irst In
eloquent than words. He sat down by her

hands. He glanced at 1t.
Elaine" he said, "do you like that story?'
She told him, Eyes" and, taking the
book from her hands, he read the noble words
wherein Sir lancelot tells the Lily Maid how
he Will dover her when she weds some
worthy knight, but that he can do no more
for her.
Was it a dream that she should sit there
listening to those words from his lips-she
had fancied him Sir Lancelot without stain,
mt herself Elaine? There was a sense OF
Wnreality about it; she would not have been
surprised at any moment TO awake and find
herself in the pretty d~rawing-room at Marine
Terrace-all this beautiful fairy tale a dream
only a dream. The musical voice ceased
at last; and 1t was TO her as though some
charm had been broken.
DO you like poetry, Miss Darrell"' in
quired Sir Vane.
Eyes" she replied; 'ft seems to me part OF
myself. | cannot explain clearly what l
mean, but when ! hear such grand thoughts
read, or when | read them FOR myself, it IS to
me as though they were my own"
81 understand" he responded-"indeed ]
believe that | should understand anything
you said. could almost fancy that | had
lived before, and had known you in another
life"
Then Lady ST. Lawrence said gomethinl
about Sea View, and they left faIry-land fol
a more commonplace sphere of existence.

They Shet The Do Now.

In Cracker" cabins in north Georgia,
no matter how cold the weather, both
doors. back and front, stand open from
daylight till dark, the year through.
This, perhaps, Is accounted for by the
fact that there are no windows in the
houses, and the doors are kept open for
light.
One bitter cold winters day, while
hunting for q workman, a northern
superintendent of the Georgia Marble
company, went into one of these cabins
and found the whole family, blue with
cold, huddled over n few pine sticks in
the fireplace. Every door was open and
the icy wind was sweeping through the
room unhindered.
Before proceeding to business the
northerner banged to the doors, threw
several logs On the Goals, and soon had
things steaming. AS they grew com.
Portable. he remarked:
"Now. don't you see how quickly you
warm up when you keep the wind OUT
See what a difference it makes to shut

wife quite energetically and said:
"Wife, DANCED if hit ant so! Dou't

New England Rum.

Boston can very well do without tho
reputation of having originated the
manufacture of run, but there has been
a time in New England histoay when
rum had n better reputation as a bev-
trage than is now accorded it.
The early New England clergy re-
garded 1t as a ~reviver and strengthened
IN festive occasions when made into the
brm Of flip and toddy. DR.. Holmes,
with this recollection in mind, cele-
brated its virtues in his lines to a punch
bowl. The late Judge Thompson, who
was n wit, convulsed the members of
the Massachusetts legislature in one of
his speeches on the temperance ques-
ton by declaring that the heroic age of
New England was the time when rum
was sold al 8 cents a glass, -Bostos

Origin of the Match.

Romcr, Preschel and Irinyi are vari.
ously named as inventors Of phosphor-
Gus matches.
From the testimony Of a still living
college friend it appears that the real
inventor Is the Hungarian, James 1riuyi.
1t was in 1885, when the latter, then ~
years old and q student ut the Poly
technic school in Vienna, attended Prof.
M%eissner's lectures on chemistry. He
became greatly impressed by a demon
stration of the reaction produced on
rubbing together peroxide of lead and
sulphur. II struck him at once that the
reaction may be greatly intensified
when substituting PHOSPHORUS for sui
phur. lrinyi was not to be seen at the
college for the next few days. His
friend, wishing to see him, called at his
rooms but found the door locked.
On joining his friends Irinyi had his
pockets full Of matches, which he struck
on the walls, all of them taking fire.
lie prepared them by melting phos-
phorous in n concentrated solution of
glue and shaking until the mass became
cold and all the PHOSPHORUS assumed q
finely divided state. This emulsion
was mixed with brown peroxide Of lead
and sticks previously dipped In molten
sulphur were immersed In the mixture.
He sold his invention, it is recorded, to
a merchant named Romer for about
E700.-InventtOR.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The far
reaching effects which would follow on
the carrying out of the plan lately pro-
posed for utilizing the water of the
Nile cataracts give exceptional interest
to the scheme. Prof. Forbes, who has
gone over the ground to be covered by
the prospective operations, has made a
special examination into the needs of
the culCivators. He has already tabu-
lated eighteen distinct industries which
would be developed and made prosper
ous and profitable by the Harvesting Of
the Nile. He surveyed the river from
Assouan, the site of the first cataract,
TO u point not far from Abu Hamed, at
which the fourth cataract is situated.
There is between the fifth and sixth
and last of the famous cataracts a
stretch of country of which more will
probably be heard in the near future.
i is a form of ancient Nile mud, and,
although il has been decided by the
government officials engaged in the
survey TO let it alone for the present.
il is believed that scientific irrigation
would make it one OF the richest tracts
of land in the world. Only a rough
survey was made between the third and
fourth cataracts, the serious and de-
tailed investigation being confined to
the first, second and third falls. The
question to be settled was whether he
force Of the waterfall at these three
points could be utilized for driving
power. This famous river, from half
a mile to a mile in width, flows through
"a country for the most part mountain
Gus, sterile and sandy on both banks
beyond the narrow strip of a few hun
dred yards on either bank, which is
cultivated. The new scheme, as first
outlined, involved the construction of
reservoirs for supplying the cultivators
with a constant supply Of water for
their crops-sugar, cotton, rice, corn,
etc, aud as steam power was found to
be expensive, the engineers of the un-
dertaking turned to electricity. If the
plans drawn out by Prof. Forbes are
approved by the government, the whole
OF the engines, factories and works
along the banks of the ancient river
will soon be actuated by electric cur
rent, generated by it's falling waters.

She sat there until the sun had set over the
waters and the moon had risen; and all the
time she saw before her but one image-the
face that had charmed her as nothing i'm life
had ever done before. Then, startled to find
that IL had grown so late, she rose and cross
ed the sands. Once she turned to look at the
sea, and a curious thought came to her that
there, by the side Of the restless, shining wa
tiers, she had met her fate. Then she tried
to laugh at the notion.
'"To waste ones whole heart in loving a
face" she thought, "would be absurd. Yet
the sweetest of all Notwithstanding So"
A great calm, one that lulled her broodlng
discomfort, that stilled her angry despair,
that seemed to raise her above the earth, that
refined and beautified every thought, was up
on her. She reached home, and Miss Hast
ings, looking at the beautiful face on which
she had never seen so sweet an expression,
so tender a light before, wondered what had
come over her. SO, too, like Elaine
All night his face before her lived,
and the face was
Dark, splendid, sparkling in the silence, full
OF noble things
All mconsclously, all unknowingly, the
love had come to her that was TO work won
ders-the love that was to be her redemption.

ADVICE From BrookIinc.

Brookline, Mass, Chronicle: Adver-
Using although essential to the pro-
motion Of a healthy trade is not the
only essential. Your business must
live up to its advertising and your adj
vertising must live up to your business.
A live advertisement and a dead bust
ness are homogeneous, since if live adj
vertising attracts trade to your doors
and your facilities for doing business
are not what people think they should
be, your advertising expenses are non
ey wasted. Get both your business and
your advertising upon an in~terlocking
system. Don't offer inducements YOU
cannot back up, but if you have in
ducements to offer state them continu-
ously, plainly, clearly and with prices
affixed and reap the benefit. The buy
ing public answer attractive ads. Make
your ads attractive, state prices freely
and use only the media that reach the
people you would reach.

A Feature OF the Wnr.

Washington Star: The editor of the

heard a football on his threshold, and
his gaze fell upon Il visitor who bore
the unmistakable evidence Of what the
editor so greatly feared. For weeks the

a pricking sensation, until at last the
blood began TO course freely and vigor-
onsly through his body. Soon he was re-
stored to his old-time health. A reporter
for the Monitor recently called on Mr..
Petch again and was told:
you may say there is no doubt as to

health than when | gave you the first
interview and certainly attribute my cure

pie. ITO these pills ! owe my release from

In the face of such testimony, can any
one say that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
not entitled TO the careful consideration
of every sufferer-man, woman or child?
Is not the case, in truth, Il miracle Of

all druggists and considered by them to be
one Of the most valuable remedial agents
