"There is-Milly."

'"There is-Milly."
'Milly? Poor Milly! I am afraid
we shall never see her again, sobbed
David, breaking down for the first
time.
He was holding Morgan's hand. He
felt great shudder pass through his
friends body.
''Stoop," said Morgan ''stoop as
near as you can. I cannot die without
telling you.'
spasmodic tones, with long pauses,
constantly interrupted with exclama-
tions of horror from David, Morgan
told how he had inveigled Milly into
the old pit and had imprisoned her SO
that she could not possibly escape and
left her only food enough for one day.
1t was terrible story to hear in
that dark vault, without CLEAN OF
light OF a clear hope of escape. David
seemed to forget that he had been for
five days without food. A great surg
ing tide of indignation rolled like lava
through his veins as he thought of
Milly, his own darling Milly, to whom
he was so soon to be married.
The story was hardly finished when,
with a shout as savage as that of a
wild beast deprived of it's mate, he
sprang up and seized the dying man.
He lifted him in his arms with the in
tention of dashing him down again.
1t was a moment of uncomfortable
passion, reused by the thought of
Milly's lingering death. David held
Morgan for few seconds and pre-
pared to fling him against the sharp
rocks of coal.
Suddenly CLEAN of light appeared
in far corner. Milly herself entered
the cave. David became powerless
and dropped Morgan at his feet.
Milly had not been long in her
prison when she escaped. She had
heard of the explosion and since then,
by day and by night, for many hours
at time, she had travelled through
all the old mines searching for pas
sage to the exploded one. She was
just in time to save her lover from
the crime of murder. Morgan, how
ever, did not live many hours longer.

Ibsen has given his views on the
subject of national disarmament. He
says that such proposal has his sym

other means of blood-letting." He

is doubtful, in the Norwegian drama
lists opinion, whether the existence
of military service really hinders prog

The foundation of all lasting prog
ress in Cuba must be hygiene. To es-
tablish promptly and maintain intelli-
gently, in cities like Havana, system
of sanitation wholly foreign to their
history, and at variance with the life
long habits of the people, is hercu-
lean and costly task. If the more in
telligent and influential of the Cubans
could be persuaded to study the work
thus far done in Santiago by General
Wood-with it's significance in COM
mercial revival and growth there
would soon be less of Cuban dis
content at the prospect of Ameri-
can control in the island.

''Should Wives Work ?" is a ques>
ton that has been undergoing lively
discussion in the daily press and
womens journals across the Atlantic,
and many views have been given pro
and con. The three forcible oblec-
tions urged to the wife being family
bread winner, are, l. The man, whose
wife does what he should do, deterior-
ates. 2 The home suffers because her
time and attention is taken from it.
3. She, to support her husband and
his children, dispossesses some man,
willing and otherwise able to support
his family. To these objections it
was urged l. A husband falling sick
or happening to other misfortunes.

wife's assistance; and that, certainly,
if he is disabled through any cause
whatever, she has a right to provide
for herself and those who thus be-
come dependent upon her. 2. That
no natural woman will neglect he1
home unless the necessity to preserve
it drives her forth. 8. That if neces.
sity to support herself and family de-
wolves upon her, she is obliged tc
compete with men similarly placed.

Stylish Black and White Costume.

A stylish black and white combina-
tion is shown in the large engraving
in black peau dc sole and guipure lace
over white satin, the full chemisette of
white mousseline over satin imparting
a soft and dainty finish. A narrow

a corded heading, trims the broad col

suited for informal dress or ordinary
wear, is smartly adjusted over correct

back are laid in overlapping pleats at
the loose edge, and between the front
edges is disclosed smooth vest por-

out slightly, and the neck is completed
by high standing collar of white

Now that labor conditions enter to
such an important extent into indus.
trial operations, much interest at.
taches to the report of a prominent
firm of shipbuilders in Sunderland,
England, on the result of adopting
the eight system for seven years
in their works. They hold that the
plan answers we'll; the men actually
do not lose so much time, in fact, they
work more hours than they did under
the old system. Instead of the pro-
duction of the works being less from
the apparently shorter hours of work,
it has gradually increased since 1891.
They took up the system in the belief
that they could get the same amount
of work out of their men by better
method. OF the men working on time
wages fifteen or twenty per cent. lost
the first quarter of the day, while the
piece men scarcely ever started before
$50 under the old method. The men
started at o'clock, stopped at 8 for
half an hour for breakfast; had an
other interval of an hour at noon, and
the days work was finished at 5.
The conditions were such that many
workmen were physically incapable Of
enduring the long hours. 1t was quite
a common thing for man to lose
three-quarters of week because he
could not keep up the early rising
necessary for the o'clock start and
work full time. Under the forty eight
hours system the men have an early
breakfast and start work at 7.30, going
on with only one break until o'clock.
They thus do more work themselves,
besides getting more work out of the
machines, the results being an in
creased output and a decreased cost,
Under the old system the men hardly
averaged five hours work day. The
report has attracted great attention
among English employers of labor,
with whom the eight hours day
has long been q burning question.
