CHAPTER xxXII.

The next morning dawned beautiful
and clear. Harry had recovered con-
seriousness, but new lines had shaped
themselves upon his face, and he
shrank, as from an actual blow, IL his
wife approached him. From her hand
he refused medicine, food or drink.
The physician regarded him in amaze
ment.
'It is one of the peculiar fancies Of
his illness, Mrs. Reynolds" he said,
c~onsolingly. His mind cannot fully
have recovered its normal calm. Mean
while, 1t is best to humor him. Will
you allow Miss Hawthorne to take
your place in nursing him?"
Certainly" she answered. "Grace
car help me. Meanwhile, / can relieve
her with Mr.. Reynolds. He is better?'
Yes he is quite out of danger, and
has already asked for you many times.
He must be kept free from excitement,
and have no intimation of his sons 81
ness. BY the way, Mrs. Reynolds, has
your husband received any sudden
shock?"
1T think some complication in Miss
He wthorne's affairs have risen which
seriously distressed both Harry and
his father. Further than hat / know
of no existing cause"
MY question was not prompted by
curiosity" returned the doctor. But
its answer might aid my analysis OF
the case. / thank you for your conf
dence, Mrs. Reynolds; and, believe me,
though remembered by the physician,
ii already has been forgotten by the
man."
He bowed and withdrew, and Helen
returned to the bed,
Harry raised his heavy lids at sound
of her footsteps, then let them fall,
shudderingly, as he recognized her.
Shall I send Grace to you?" she
whispered.
YES" broke in a faint whisper from
his lips; but he did not again unclose
his eyes until. some FIVE minutes later,
a soft, cool hand was laid upon his
brow, and he recognized Grace Haw-
thorne's touch.
Feebly he outstretched his own hand
toward her.
She took and held II tightly.
Promise me-" he said. in a faint. low
voice, mot TO leave me. Promise me,
Grace-pomise me-"
Il promise. Harry" she answered.
while tears OF mingled jov and grief
rolled down her pale cheeks: and so,
holding her hand tightly pressed in
his. he fell into a quiet sleep.
AS the door softly opened, Grace
turned her head. Harry's siumber was
unbroken.
1t was Helen who entered.
Grace watched her as she made her
toilet for the street. Where. she won

Panama Hats
Are Costly

Poverty-stricken, war-ravaged Cuba
revels in the expensive Panama hat.
Americans either can't afford to wear
them or else do not care to do so. In
1899 Cuba took directly Panama hats
to the value Of s41, 019, and nearly all
of the hats sent to the United States,
valued at $39.477, were t~ranshipped to
Cuba. The total value of last years
expectations OF Panama hats from
Ecuador was s1O0,S SIC. Costa RIGA,
Colombia and Mexico together took
ss,657 in value, and all other coun-
tries, except those mentioned, the
balance of 81. 723.
Our consul general in G~uayaquil,
Ecuador, Perry NJ. de Leon, says that
the Manavi (Panama) hat was made
first in the province Of Manavi, Ecua-
dor. about 275 years ago, by a native,
Francisco Delgado. The present CEN
tiers Of the industry are Monte Cristi
and Jipijapa, in the province Of Mana
vi, and Santa Elena and Cuenca, in
the provinces of Guayas and Azuay,
respectively. They came TO be known
as Panama hats years ago, when that
city was a distributing center. In
Ecuador, Colombia and Central Amer
lea the hat is known by the natives
as "Jipijapa" pronounced H~ipy-hapa),
but they are made anywhere in Ecua-
dor, principally in the province OF
Manayi CMahn-ah-yeeC.
The plant is a native grass or spe-
cies of cane. 1t is cultivated in the
provinces of Manavi and Guayas. and
is known as 'paja tOquilla." In APP
pearance, it resembles the American
saw palmetto; it is fan-like in shape.
Low-lying, wet land is selected ard
the seed planted in row during the
rainy season. When the grass attains
a height Of Az or 5 feet ii is cut just
before ~ripening, boiled in hot water,
and, after being thoroughly sun-dried,
is assorted and ready for use.
The straw first is selected, dampened
to make it pliable, and then finely d.
vided into requisite widths, the little
finger or thumb nail being used for
the purpose. The plating begins at
the apex of the crown and is contin-
ued in circular form until the hat is
finished. The work is carried on while

III The Bonds Of Red TdDl'

Two years ago. in auditing the ac-
counts Of a certain union. the district
auditor made the discovery that the
sum OF one farthing was missing from
a balance Of parish. Accordingly
he instructed the local official to find
out how the error arose and report al!
about 1t. A couple OF days afterwards
information duly arrived that the
missing farthing had been recovered.
Four hours had been spent in the quest
Of it. and this, and the attendance a
second time at the audit, cost the rate
payers exactly 20 shillings.
An even more amusing case comes
from a district council. Upon the an
nual reappointment of the district med
ical officer it was proposed to reap
portion his salary. The authorities,
learning of this, intimated to the coun-
Gil that, regardless of the fact that the
proposed reappointment had already
been advertised as the law prescribed,
it would be requisite in the Circum-
stances to advertise it again. The bril-
liant suggestion was, however, con-
veyed that it might be clearly set out
in the advertisement that the council
did not wish any applications sent in
in answer to 1t.
In a big government building it was
decided to celebrate the year OF the
light installation. For some months
numbers OF workmen overran the place
and clerks and officials were only in
duced to put up with the inconvenience
Of the present by dreaming of the daz-
cling times to come. Then suddenly it
was discovered that a mistake had
been made. a lot Of the work was al
tered, and progress went on again at
full speed, till at last several of the
new lights were actually burning. On
a foggy day, however, all work came
to a stop, and 1t was found that the
funds were exhausted. In the mean
time orders had been given for remoy-
ing the gas fittings, and, as there was
still money in the special fund avail
able for this purpose, all the gas brack-
cts, ETC., had been carted away, with
the consequence that the
officials had only candles as illumin-
ants to fall back upon. But even here
"Circumlocution Office" methods did
not cease. 1t was now found that no
fund existed out of which candlesticks
could be bought, and SO the candles in
this big public establishment had TO he
