most discourtesy by the Sevillanos.
Her calls were not returned, and in the
opera-house, while she sang the title

and skill, she was deliberately insulted
by Kisses and by supposed-to-be gentle
men and ladies in the boxes turning
their backs upon her. This exhibition

No Longer Carries a Purse,

The tailormade girl who wishes to
do the real smart thing nowadays no
longer carries handsome purse in her
hand, nor does she wear 1t strung
about her neck on one of the long
chains so lately fashionable. She
keeps her change carefully tucked
away in some of the many little tiny
pockets with which her tailor suit is
so plentifully supplied. All she is sup
posed to want in the way of money for
car fare, ice cream soda, ETC., is car
ried in this way. For large purchases
there is the credit system and the &C.
o. D." arrangement, so that all the
money she needs for her daily use can
be slowed away in her jacket pocket.
"Of what use the pockets" says the
practical girl, "if one does not use
them?"

INTERESTING ITEMS.

Great Britain pays 500, 900, 900 annu-
ally to America and the English col
onies for butter. The people who buy
high-price butter want 1t sweet and
fresh, and this is possible only when
the cows are eating spring grass. As
1t is not always spring in England it
stands to reason that butter has to be
brought from those places where
spring is. First the Londoner gets his
butter from west England, Normandy
and Brittany. Then the butter of
northern Denmark follows and Austria
liam butter comes next-English winter
is Australian spring.
In recent lecture by DIR. Charles B.
Dudley, chief chemist Of certain rail-
road it is shown how the costs Of the
distinctively little things mount up in
the offices Of a largo railway system.
For instance, he shows that It costs
the railroad each year about $1,000 for
pins, $4,000 for rubber bands, $1,000
for ink, $1,000 for lead pencils, etc. The
fact that it costs nearly as much for
stationery with which to carry on the
business as it does for iron, as DR.. Dud-
ley asserts, is indeed startling. Some
roads have realized the extent OF waste
in such directions and have, among
other measures, ordered that a large
part of the communications between
their various officials shall be written
on pads of manila paper instead of on
regular letter heads.

enty-odd years ago the father OF Lord
Overtoun and his brother John took
possession of an old soap and soda
works near Rutherglen and converted
1t into factory for the production OF

the founder of the business that he was
wont to stand inside the gate OF his
works at night and if he found any
particles of chrome-a chemical for
which he received 20 cents pound In

That the insulting manifestation was
made against the nation and not
against the singer personally is shown
by the fact that when, as Lucia, she
was going off the stage at the end OF
the opera, there was a sudden, ire
pressible burst Of applause, which
ceased as suddenly as it began. Then,
when she came back before the cur
tain to acknowledge the applause, the
subscribers part of the house began
to hiss, showing that, although APP
plauding the actress, they were de-
termined to prove their hostility to her
as an American.
Queen Christina, however, did not
approve of her subjects actions, and,
in a characteristic manner, took pains
to public assure Nevada of her royal
friendship and sympathy.

CHAPTER vII.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER VIT.-(Continued.)
My hitherto matter-of-fact life had
suddenly received its baptism" OF
mystery and romance; and with 1t an
other initiation-that supreme reveal
ton which comes but once in a mans
life. and having come, leaves its mark
upon it forever-the revelation OF

Then Miss Branscombe had not dis
covered her mistake. Moreover, her
destination was some point beyond
Motion, or she would certainly have
had time to detect the change of bag

Forest Lea, announcing my return
that night and requesting that if con-
venient a carriage might meet me at
the station, and then l prepared to
get through as best 1 might tho hours
Of supense which lay before me.
My heart beat faster as the evening

on the platform almost as soon as the
train stopped. The station was UNI
usually quiet, and the platform clear
from one end to the other; there was
no sign of the slight, graceful figure
for which l sought eagerly. l did not
give up hope until the last moment.
After a hurried inquiry at the cloak

until the train was absolutely in mo-

blank chill of disappointment. Miss
BraIscombe was evidently not return

The loss of the Till-serious as such
a loss would be to me both personally
and ssionally-occupied no place
in my mind as l travelled on toward
Forest Lea. l believe l had entirely
forgotten the lesser misfortune in what
seemed to me the greater-the disap-
pearance of Miss Branscombe from her
home. That she was the victim or
some deeply laid plot on the part of
her cousin l never doubted; the rec
tors precautions had been taken too
late. Possibly had 1 spoken Of last
