Lincoln's Auditorium,

The first of the seven great arches
that are to support the roof and gal
lery of the Lincoln auditorium have
been placed in position. All of the
arches were made over a single pattern
on the floor and were then moved to
places from which they could be more
rapidly raised. Each arch weighs sew
eral tons. IL is a matter of great diff
Guilty to handle them. When other
arches rise they will all be bound to-
gether by rafters and DIAGONAL sheath
ing, making an exceedingly strong
form Of construction. IL will take all
the present week to put the six remain
ing arches. When they are all in
place, however, the building will DO
nor than half done, for the roof can
be put ON while the side walls arc
rising. Men can work all over the
structure, in fact, without getting IN

OF pants Of that grade contains twelve
pieces, the outlines Of which are repre-
sented by Sits in the top Of a heavy
table. Twenty-four sections OF cloth
are laid on the table and a revolving
knife like a buZz-saw travels through
the Sits. AS 1t does so II cuts the
fabric into the exact patterns. The
whole thing is done with incredible

The pieces are then SEN on an electric

are also run by a motor. Each oper-
alive has only one thing to do. The
first one will put In the leg seams, the
second sew up the body, the third will

are worked by machinery, aud, as a

weeping, when at last l rose from the
floor. Suppose John should return at
this moment and find me in tears! In
sudden fear Of his return, l ran up
stairs to my room, took my hat and
cloak and went out Of doors into the
cold gray October night.
There were few people about. In tho
park the paths were deserted. II had
been less unhappy, l should have been
frightened at the loneliness; was too
wretched to feel fear or to are about
the cold.
The clouds parted a little; the moon
came out and shone down between the
trees upon the ripping water; the
water sparkled coldly. the bare
branches looked ghostly in the pale
silvery light. Then the clouds gath
cred again and the moor was hidden,
/ sat down IN a seat beside the path
way, with my fur cloak drawn closely
about me; and my tears fell fast again
beneath my veil. Footsteps came
slowly up the lonely path. Two figures
were advancing in the darkness; !
saw them dimly outlined, but did not
heed them. l only awoke to any In
terest In them when my ear detected
a woman's choking sob.

woman's voice, tremulous. broken.
1T is too hard-I cannot bear It! For

now-the ten years are over. and

But then l had courage! Now | have

The voice was so broken, so fearful.
that 1t scarcely struck me as familiar.
The man and woman slowly advanced,
slowly passed; then, all at once
through the parting clouds, the moon
shone out again-shone across the re-
treating figures, and l recognized John
and Madame Arnaud.
