1t seems that sometimes they are
bucolic and unresponsive. But this
time they were apparently In an am
liable mood and the guileless scriv-
ener fairly held his breath to facili-
tate the revelation from the hereafter
which now seemed proximate.
Slade sat silent, his exposed thumb
free from muscular motion. Before
putting the states together he had
shown them-the reporter had even
handled them-and they were clean.
Not word was written upon either.
Then with a small piece of slate pen
ell between, they were placed together
and tucked under the table, SHADES
four hong. bony fingers against the
lower one. his thumb, as stated be-
fore, above the rim of the table.
Then the writing commenced, The
spirits were getting In their work.
But alas for Slade,
Back of him a mirror--for the de-
lectatlon of brides-stretched from
ceiling to floor. Ills there yet He
had overlooked it--had slipped a cog
in the finesse OF his fraud. The re-
porter suspected that the noise of
the mysterious and hidden writing
was being made by one of SHADES
fingers; and now, Inadvertently
glancing into the mirror, his heart
leaped to his throat; for there the
whole under side OF the table was re-
yealed and, sure enough, lank finger
was busy with a scratching motion.
The artful Slade must have observed
that his visitor was unusually intent
upon something behind him--for he
sat with his back to the glass-be-
cause the finger suddenly ceased its
CITATIONS and simultaneously the noise
stopped. The two circumstances
were correlated. The reporter then
looked away from the mirror as limo
Gently as he might and the noise was
at once resumed. but glancing back
suddenly the finger was again OBJ
served at work. but became passive
az once when SHADES suspicious had
again become aroused. The noise
also stopped. Thrice this alternate
discovery and stoppoge followed, then
the spirits gave final rappings, the
states were brought forth and upon
one was a long abstruse message from

lawyer then not long dead,

small chance Of its escaping uninjured,
as the accuracy of these great cannons
is phenomenaiiy fine.
in the modern marine warfare more
depends upon getting in the first shot
than in any other kind of fighting.
Upon the speed of the range finder
the success Of the first shot largely de-
ponds, and the delay of few seconds
might settle the fate of the battle.
The new invention is believed to be
much quicker in its work than the
Fiske system, as in the latter the po-
sltion of the enemy is communicated
by signaling, which, in addition to be-
ing much slower, is also open to error,
as the gunner has to translate the sig
nails and then adjust his gun for the
range.
Moreover, in the brief time elasping
between the signaling and the aiming
Of the guns the position of the enemy
might change sufficiently to escape the
projectile, but with the new system the
exact position of the vessel would be
apparent to the gunner up to the very
instant Of the discharge.
The method of locating the position
and fixing the range of vessel two Of
three miles away is a mystery to mos
people, but it is matter easily e,
planned and understood. Until the ar
rival of Lieut.. Fiske's invention the
method of fixing the range of large
was TO fire several trial shots at it
usually from a small gun. The eleva
tlon of the gun at each shot was notet
and the destination of the shot located
by telescopes. Calculations were ther
made which fixed the range for tn,
larger gun. This method not only
consumed considerable time, but 1t wa.
very expensive, as the cost of each sho
from one of the large guns is yer,
great, some running as high as $500
In time of war the old method would

A telegram from Toledo, Ohio, says:
Henry Slade. one OF the most famous
sEiritualistlc mediums in the world,
has been found in this city. He sud
denly dropped out of public notice
three years ago and Is now at the res
sdence of j. N. Walker undergoing a
magnetic course of treatment for his
right side. which is qaralyzed Four
years ago Shade was sandbagged in
New York and found no relief until
he sought Toledo physician. For
the last three years splritualists have
believed him dead. Slade is now able
10 walk and for the first time In three
years gave some remarkable private
tests last night His once vast for
tune Is gone, and as soon as he is
fully recovered he intends to appear
in public"
A dozen years or more ago he Wis
tied Madison. occupying the bridal
chamber suite at the Park hotel.
There he gave so-ealled spirit rap
pings and INDUCED in ether fraudu-
Dent lamentations 10 tho open-eyed
~onderment OF the innocent gullbles
who paid fancy figures to see him.
But one day he came to grief. A To-
cal reporter had seanee with him,
and caught him in the act, SO to speak.
sSlade and the reporter sat 81 a
small table and the former held two
slates together beneath IL. his bony
thumb above board. Soon the spirits

much he adores her, could anyone be
more surprised than dear MAMMA?
But, between you and me, should they
come back looking dreadfully bored,
with nothing to confess but their ad-
miration of the current bushes or
whatever it was they went out to in
spect, mamma is more surprised STILL
only she succeeds in Disgusting her
feelings good deal better.
BY just such a happy chance Reg
gle and Mary went out one afternoon
to look at wonderful well that had
lately been sunk is the garden; but
oddly enough, they got no farther
than particularly shady summer
house, where they looked into each
others eyes instead, and there they
made the remarkable discovery that
they were both exceedingly fond of
one another.
When did you first know you cared
for me?" asked Mary.
'The moment / first saw you," said
he boldly.
That's not true. You first saw me
| at the Fosters ball, and you danced
| nearly the whole evening with that
tall Miss Johnson"
Reggie could not very well deny the
imputation, but he protested vehem-
emily that he could not imagine how
he had ever been SO blind as to prefer
the ungainly Miss Johnson to the
| lovely Miss Chichester.
Anyhow" he said, Il fell in love
with you very soon afterward.
But now, how am 1 to believe
your"
Why" he cried exultingly, recollect-
ing his precious letter, do you re-
member the letter you wrote to me
last July?"
| What letter." she asked.
why, surely you remember asking
me to go to Henley?"
Il remember you're coming with us,
SO l suppose we asked you
Reggie was seized with momentary
panic lest he should have forgotten
| to put the note in his pocket, but he
drew it out triumphantly.
'There!" he cried, kissing the note
once more, 1--WE carried that dear lit
tie letter about with me ever since I
got it,
He had looked forward to this mo-
ment; he had pictured the sweet won
der in her pretty eyes as she would
glance up at him and murmur: "Oh.
Reggie, all this timei" But, to his
great CONSERVATION, she did nothing
of the kind. On the contrary directly
she saw the letter she burst out laugh
ing. Reggie was dismayed; such con,
| duct showed an utter want of proper
feeling.
Well" he said, reproachfully. 81
| don't see what there is to laugh at"
Mary took the letter out of the en-
velope and laughed still more. Reg
gle remembered how sacred that letter
had been to him, and how often he
had pressed it to his lips, and began
TO grow angry at her frivolity.
"Well?' he said again.
Why" she cried, as soon as she
could speak for laughing, you poor
dear boy, don't you see, this is NAM
mas writing; her names Mary. too.s
And little Tommy Chichester who
was out earshot, but who had watched
the whole affair with GREATNESS inter
est from the shelter of a neighboring
molly tree, has never understood to
this day why his sister should have
laughed SO much, and his brother in
law should have looked so excessively
foolish.
