There was a world of tenderness in De1l's voice when he talked to the girl. Seldom did he grow tender in his words, however, only once, when they were sitting on the porch toward evening and mosquito came hulnming about Dell's ears He struck at it with his open hand, and it flew toward the girl.
 Don't send your mosquitoes over this way to bite me-, she said. "That's what I'd do if was 8 mos q-u-i-t-o," said Dell without smile and with a degree of earnestness that almost frightened her. She went into the house then, and Dell saw her no more that evening, and there was lit tie strain in his left side that almost chozed him when he thought of her. He told his mother what he had said.
 "I meant it, too" he said and then added desperately, ''I wish I was 6 mos-q-u-i-t-o.
 "Dell,'' said his mother, "you must not say such things. She won't like it. She isn't plain, like us, and she won't know how to take it. But they are go- ing away in the morning, so you must be up early to drive them to the sta- | tion."
 l As the train left at an early hour every one was awake soon after day break. When the girl came down stairs dressed for her journey, she looked around for Dell. He was not there. His place at the breakfast table was cleared. The mother hustled in.
 "Dell had to go to Groveland this morning." she said. Little Peter Fer guson will drive you to the depot.
 "But he didn't say goodby to us, " said the girl. ''I call it unfair of Dell to go away without saying goodby.''
 "Well, he had to go early, and you wasn't up," said the mother, "and he said wasn't to disturb you.''
 Dell, driving down through the shady roads of the way to Groveland, with his white slouch hat over his eyes and his shoulders stopped forward as one sits when thinking, heard the whistle of the train at the crossing and stopped his horses until the last rumble of the wheels had ceased. Then he touched his horses with the whip and went on. For the first time the birds sang unnoticed over his head. He didn't see the car pet of dandelions by the roadside, nor did he hear the tinkle of the brook as it dropped over the slate lodges into the ravine. He heard nothing but sound of a young, joyous voice that had made music for him for a week and saw noth- ing but glint of yellow hair that was really nothing but the sunshine playing about him.
 And that night the girl went into Miss Hamilton's room, and sitting down on an ottoman laid her head in the other wo1nan's lap and cried:
 "What is it, Bernardine? Aren't you happy?''
 Yes" she said, "I am happy, but want to go back, want to go back. Do you suppose will some time?''
 ''I think it very likely,'' said Miss Hamilton. Hartman.

band Travelling Men Didn't Know That,

p""' 'roNe'ihs Men DIDN'T Know That.
4 clever trick was worked by Walter
Redmond and his wife at Union station
by which several travelling men were
dipped out Of theic money At the end
OF a long seat in the waiting room was
a pretty and modest looking young wo-
man attired in a Salvation Army uni
form. She was very intent upon pa.
per which she was reading and paid lit.
tie attention to the crowd Of travelling
men sta g near her.
Aside II the crowd IVES q we'll
dressed young man, who was walking
back and forth by the newsstand puff
ing away at a fragrant cigar. Finally a
member of the crowd Of travelling men
remarked upon the beauty of the little
Salvation Army worker. All eyes We're
fixed on the little woman and she re-
ceived many compliments. The prosper.
Gus looking young man who had been
walking near the group of drummers
drew near to the crowd. He, too, was
struck with the appearance of the wo-
man.
III give any one of you fellows SIS
if you kiss that girl, y said he.
Those in the crowd took the dare.
One spoke up, however, and said to tho
stranger who had offered the money,
I'm bet you $40 that you can't kiss
her."
The stranger hesitated for several sec.
onds and then said:
"Il inst fake that het ~
The money was put up, and the
stranger, who had given his name as
Walter Redmond, walked over toward
the little woman in uniform, and, after
bowling profoundly, took IA seat by her
side
At first the woman seemed to be very
indignant, and the travelling man
thought he had the $40 won. A minute
later, however, Redmond's arm stole
around the woman S waist. The specta-
tors then began to open their eyes wide,
One of them said: THAT fellow has a
whole lot of influence over that girl. 1t
may be that he is hypnotist. Red.
mond talked for probably two minutes
and then kissed the woman.
Redmond walked over to the stake
holder and received his money. He then
started from the depot. The little wo-
man quickly arose from her seat, and,
taking his arm, walked to Ninth and
Broadway, where the couple took an
East Broadway car. Redmond is tall
and handsome. His wife is a blond
and is exceptionally pretty. louisville

Metailiyed Wood.

The following process, invented by
Mr. Rubennlck, Tor metallizing wood,
- thus described by Les Mondes: 1.-The
wood is first immersed for three or four
days, according to its permeability, in
cdustio alkaline lye (calCareous soda)
alta temperature Of from 70 to 80 de-
greCs Thence it passes Immediately
into bath Of hydrosulphite of calcium,
to which is added, after "a or 80 hours,
a concentrated solution of sulphur i'll
causuc potash. The duration Of this
bath Is about 4S hours, ana It's tempera
tura is from 80 10 so degrees Finally
thewoud Is immersed for 30 or so hours
IN bot solution Obs to 80 degrees) OF
acetate Of lead The process, as may be
seeu Is long one, but the results are
surprising. The wood thus prepared,
after having undergone proper drying
at moderate temperature, acquires uu
ger a buruisher of hard wood polished
surface and assumes "a very brilliant
metallic lu>,ar This luster is still fur.
tlTiugrgasad if the surface of the wood
Oe lrst rubbed with a piece of lead, tin
Or ENC and be afterward polished with
glass or porcelain burnisher The
wood thus assumes the appearance of a
NUe metallic mirror and is very solid
ana resistant. Invention.

A HINT TO ARTISTS.
Orc Way of Putting Rejected Exhibits to
Good Use.

They Were riding on the Fourteenth
street cars and their conversation was
edifying. The man with the long hair
was evidently sculptor, and his com
panion. large. jolly looking fellow,
was trying to persuade him to present q
work Of art to some society woman who
had mania for collecting bric-a- brac
and articles Of vertu.
81 told her that you would, thought,
in time present her with some memen-
to, a statuette illustrating your peculiar
style Was | wrong in saying so?'
The sculptor answered Indignantly:
Il know her value Of art, and | tell you
she cannot distinguish between manu-
featured trinkets and works Of art. Ia
fact, she thinks all artists are manufac-
turers and can turn out statuettes as
easily as the rich stove ornament man
who gave her nickel plated mule.
Then too, brass fixture artist gave
her something from the brass foundry,
and she thought it great. Never IN my
Judgment, could she appreciate true
work of art
"Then you refuse to give her sam
pie of your work? Remember, she has
great influence
Il do not refuse. I'll give her that
model in plaster of paris which was re-
fused by the committee last month. she
will think it great, whether or not the
committee did.
