OF AL the delicate and wonderful in

Is hardly one that is not duplicated In
mature. However ingenious it may
seem and however original, Mother,
Nature generally has its counterpart
hid away somewhere. When the as
:tronomers began to analyze sunlight
they found that it was made up OF
many different colors. A plain bar of
white light passing through prism
was broken UP into a very rainbow,
each separate color of which was found
to represent q chemical element-iron.
sodium or some other Ingredient OF
which the sun is composed. But
iprisms did not seem to divide light
finely enough to suit the astronomers,
SO they went to work and made some
thing better. Upon a plate of metal
they scratched an infinite number OF
invisible 1ines-scratched them in a
marvellous machine, which they invent
ed for the purpose, 10000 of them TO
q single inch-and called the metal
plate q "diffraction grating With
this instrument and long series OF
calculations and experiments they were
able to arrive at very correct ideas OF
the suns chemistry, and later they
found that the light OF a star could be-
taken to pieces in the same way. It!
was a great discovery and the astrono-
.mers took deal of pride in it. But.
10, Mother Nature had been using tho
same principle for ages. The countless
changing tints of an oyster she'll were
so beautiful of themselves that most
people had been content to enjoy them
without seeking their cause. But ev-
erything has a cause-usually most
interesting one-and the irfdescent
mother of pearl resembled the astron-
omers' diffraction grating SO closely
that they decided to look into the mat
ter. Everything upon our little world
obtains its color by dissecting white
sunlight in its own peculiar fashion,
and when the oyster shell was not un-
der q microscope it was seen to be
simply diffraction grating, nothing
more. It's apparently smooth surface
was made I'D of thousands of minute
lines and it got it's rainbow tintS by
dividing the sunlight into its original
elements. The wings of iridescent In
sects-beetles, for examp1e-were ruled
in the same way, and an impression Of
them in white sealing wax gave off the
same co1ors. So the astronomers, who
are not in the least Jealous. decided
that if any patent rights were due On
the invention they belonged to Mother
Nature by priority of discovery.

Cheyenne e. Northern road, towards
which she was tripping with her COM
panions on a tour of investigation as
a relief from the long hours of the hot,
dry ride across eastern Wyoming She
became impressed with the fact that
the .tshock-head" was more of silky
texture and less unkempt than that OF
the regulation COW puncher, while
something in the clear, blue eyes,
turned sharply upon her and then
dropping as though in bashfulness,
caused her own to droop.

"Say, Grace" cried Jennie Waterton,
n strongly-built, handsome brunette.
You seem to have found more than

that reply
Grace blushed deeply as, in response
to this sally, the stranger slowly
drawled:

now there do seem to be mighty fine

This gallant compliment was fol-
lowed by an awkward but expressive
bend of the body in the direction of the
group of teachers, who were return
ing to their districts from the annual
examinations just closed at Cheyenne.
Rapidly as girls tongues will roll
came a volley of mirthful shots, which
were responded to with equal readi-
ness of wit, though with the s1owness
of uttsrance and monotone of the
ranchman, unaccustomed as he is to
lively or continued conversation.
Grace, however, had grown strangely
silent, though she was the acknowl-
edged life of the party, and showed
some signs of embarrassment when
the stranger boarded the train with the
party at the signal from the engine.
An indefinable Impression that the
stranger was not all that he seemed
crept over her, and his occasional
1apses from the dialect of the ranch
to smooth, polished utterances, served
to confirm her opinion. The other
girls, however, were delighted with the
advent of this unexpected wit of the
prairies, who would serve to shorten
ahe wearisome journey.
AS the train proceeded the heat of
the car forced the party to the door

by the motion of the train. Grouped
in as comfortable attitudes as the con-

1t was not until after the train had
passed beyond the town that it was re-
membered the strangers name had not
been learned in the excitement of the
incident in which Grace had so inn
portantly figured and chagrin took the
place of the wondering comment OF
the girls as to his identity.
Two months passed, when one day,
sitting in her school room at Lusk, the
scholars just dismissed, Grace was
dreamily recalling the incidents OF
that day near Chugwater. Suddenly
stalwart form passed across the line
of her vision from the open door, and
glancing up in momentary alarm at
the unexpected intrusion, she looked
into the eyes of her rescuer. For
moment neither spoke, then with a
soft light spreading over his features,
he opened his arms, his eyes beaming
with manly love, forced hers to remain
within their light, and he said, almost
in a whisper, but every word pene-
trating her heart:
"Grace, 1 have come for you. I
could not keep away. From the mo-
ment I met your glance that day at
Diamond, / knew l had met the one
in whom the happiness or the despair
of my life would lie. My fate is in

She stood silent and a tear cleaned
across her ruddy cheek, splashed to
the floor and was tamped lightly with
the delicate foot. This stranger.
strong, handsome, the pleading manli-
ness of his tone, the wealth of love
in his eyes, caused her breast to pant
and thrill with conflicting emotions.
Again he spoke and more earnestly
the words of passion poured forth un-
til she could no longer resist, when
suddenly the incongruous position of
both struck her fancy, and unable to
control her risibilities, she emitted a
peal of laughter which caused the
stranger to shrink back with an ex-
preston of pain at her seeming care

THE WICKED FLEE.
An Embezzler Runs From an Old Fellow
Townsmau.

A man who came from Peunsylva-
mia town, stepping out of the side door
of the Fifth Avenue hotel the other
afternoon, came face to face with an
other man, who, after giving him one
look, dashed around the corner at top
speed and disappeared in the crowd.
The Pennsylvania man was puzzled In
a dim sort of way he remembered hav-
ing seen the man who had disappeared
so suddenly before, but where he could
not tell. All the rest of the afternoon
he wondered what there was about him
that had caused the other man to flee,
and that evening he explained the cir
cu1nstances to several friends with
whom he ate dinner. A score of sug-
gestions were made. but the mystery
was still Insolved when the Pennsy1va-
MIA visitor went to bed. Along about
2 O'Clock the next morning he woke
with start. and in a moment the
whole affair was clear in his mind.
That afternoon when he met his
friends again he said: ttIt is certainly
true that the wicked flee when no man
~pursueth. The man whom / met yes
terday about twelve years ago lived in
my town. Suddenly he disappeared.
and his employer afterward found that
he was about SIS short in his ac-
counts Nothing was done about it,
and the chances are that he would not
be molested were he to return, for his
old employer is dead and not many
persons ever heard of the theft. When
he met me yesterday, though, the old
hunted feeling evidently came over him
and he fed without waiting to see
whether or not he was recognized. I
cannot help wondering whether in all
the twelve years since he left my town
he has felt as if justice was after him.
If he has pity him. New York Sun.

looks make her one of the most desir-
able unmarried princesses in Europe.
Perhaps her only rival would be Prin-
cess Victoria. the only unmarried
daughter of the Prince of Wales.
The more notable of the 1ighthearted
Helen's suitors is Prince Victor Napo-
leon, head of the Bonaparte family OF
today. After the great Napoleon's
death. the succession went to his
youngest brother, King Jerome of
Westphaiia; thence to Jerome's son,
Prince Napoleon, who was known to
fame as Plon-Plon. Prince Napoleon
had two sons, Prince Victor and Prince
Louis.
Victor is the elder and lives quietly
in Brussels, studying the history of the
first Napoleon and planning what he
shall do when the turn of the wheel in
French politics brings him on top
again. He looks like George Gould,
and is rapidly growing fat. No one
seems able to determine whether he is
a great man biding his time or a COM
monp1ace man making bluff.
The other claimant for the hand of
Grand Duchess Helen is Prince Albert
John Christian Frederick George, only
surviving son of the fourth of Queen
Victoria's six children now living. His
mother, Princess Helena, married
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein
and his elder brother, Prince Christian,
lately lost his life in the Boer war.
Before that bereavement Prince Albert
John was rather a gay boy. in spite OF
the fact that he is poor, but it is said
that he has now settled down into
steady ways. 1t was his sister, Prin-
cess Aribert, who cut a figure in the
United States a while ago, and who
has just been divorced by her husband.
There would be no particular effect
on affairs of state if Grand Duchess
Helen were to wed the Anglo-German
prince, but if she were allied to Prince
Victor Napoleon it is believed that the
match would greatly strengthen the
French Tmperialist cause.
