hand was seized in his-in both OF his, in
fact-and the deep voice that had
pleaded at her behest for the cause of
Billy Gray was now, in impetuous flow
Of words that fell upon her ears like
some strain Of thrilling music, pleading
at last his own. Ever since that day in
the radiant sunshine of the park she
had learned 10 look up TO him as a tower
OF strength, man Of mark among his
fellows, a man 10 be honored and
obeyed. Ever since that night at the
Palace, when she saw his glowing eyes
fixed intently upon her, and knew that
he was following her every move. she
had begun 20 realize the depth Of his
interest in her. Ever since that day
when the China slipped from her moor
ings, with Witchie Garrison singing
him out for lavish farewell favors, she
had wondered why il so annoyed and
stung her. Ever since the day she read
the list of killed and wounded in the
first fierce battling with the "insur-
rectos" she knew il was the sight OF
his name, not Billy Gray's. that made
her for the moment faint and dizzy and
taught her the need Of greater self-con-
troll. Ever since that moonlit night up
or the Marsdens' lanai, when her heart
leaped at the sudden sound Of his voice,
she had realized what his coming meant
TO her, and ever since that breezy day
upon the broad Pacific, with the sailors
song Of Land, no! ringing from the
bows, and he, her wounded soldier. had
sprung to shield her from the crash OF
Shafto's hapless stumble, and the deck
was stained with the precious blood
from that soldiers reopened wound,
shed for hcr-for who so revered him
she had longed 10 hear him say the
words that alone could unlock the gates
OF maidenly reserve and let her tell him
tell him with glad and grateful heart
that the love he bore her was answered
by her own lowering over him only
one minute, her lips half parted, he,
eyes still yelled, her heart throbbing
loud and fast. with sudden movement
she threw herself upon her knees at the
side OF the low chair, and her burning
face, ever SO lightly. was buried in the
dark blue sleeve above that blessed
wound.

Crafts Were Obtained by Enter
prisinB Competitors.

Few inventions are at present worked
secretly. as the patent laws now pro-
vide the protection which in olGen
times was wanting. one hundred years
! ago whatever a man discovered in the
arts or mechanics he concealed. Work.
men were put upon their oath never
TO reveal the processes used by their
! employers. Doors were kept closed,
artisans going out were searched, vis-
itors were vigorously excluded from
admission and false operations blinded
the workmen themselves. The mys-
teries of every craft were hedged in
by precautions which now appear to
be fanciful and silly.
But neither locks nor oaths ayailed
against the ingenuity Of envious or in
quisitive rivals. One after another
trade secrets were revealed, until the
wise patent laws did away with all ne
cessity for secrecy. The secret of the
manufacture of citric acid was stolen
from an old chemist who bad shop
near Temple Bar, in London, by a
chimney sweep, who dropped down the
fue and took good note of the process.
The secret of the manufacture of tin
ware, which was discovered in Holland
md kept a secret for 80 years, was
stolen Ivy James Sherman, a Cornish
miner.
The history of cast steel presents
curious instance of a manufacturing
secret stealthily obtained under the
cloak Of an appeal to philanthropy.
In 1850 a Sheffield matchmaker be-
came dissatisfied with the watch
springs in use, and after many exper-
lments succeeded in making cast steel.
In ITO he had large factory making
this steel. The process was wrapped
In secrecy by every means within reach
true and faithful men hired, the
work divided and subdivided, large
wages paid and stringent oaths admin
istered
II did not answer. One midwinter
night a traveller knocked at the gate.
1t was bitterly cold, the snow fell fast
and the kind foreman gave the wan
derer shelter from the storm. He
sank upon the floor and soon appeared
TO be asleep. But in reality he kept
his eyes open, saw the whole process,
and when he departed in the morning
he carried with him the secret Of max.
ing cast steel.
