ing of 'em. Yes, you may look at me, old chap; it isn't likely you'll ever see another man who could stand up and say: I am myself and none oth- err I have vanquished Heredity in single combat, and have made of my self the man I want to be instead of the man that others would have made me-"
 1T congratulate you" drawled Lore ton, disgusted to find the subject still uppermost.
 ''It's been awful hard work" con- tirued Orridge, discouraged. Look at this" And he held out large glazed notebook. on which was writ ten: 'The Orridge Family; a Study in Heredity." 'I'm going to have that privately printed some day"
 Are you?" said Loreton, examin- ing the pages desultorily. You're sure, of course, that it's of some use?''
 ''It's been no end of use to me in my own case as it is, ]" said Orr'dge, but have still one case to investi- gate"
 'One what?"
 "One case-an Australian uncle, who arrives in England on Monday. Of course, shall try and see as much of him as can. Soon put my finger on any points of resemblance, if they exist. I'll get him here to lunch Tuesday or Wednesday. You come, too, will you? YoA might be a help to me afterwards, if you can manage to be observant for once."
 Loreton accepted this fattering in- vitation, and turned up on the Wednesday,. Uncle Samuel Orridge was a round, middle-aged man of con siderable presence, outwardly as diff ferent from his nephew as is the AL bert hall from the leaning tower. Indeed, he was not unlike the Albert hall in figure and general coloring. But he was clearly determined to make himself pleasant and to dash any preconceptions as to his colonial ness. Loreton was amazed at the good nature with which he received and answered the shower of personal questions put to him by his nephew, without even knowing the excuse for them.

ON STAGE TOGETHER.
Divorced Couple Meet Nightly and
 Get Along Nicely.
She Is the Star, Ex-Husband Sings fin Chorus-Strange Illustration of she Ups and Downs In Amer
 fcan Life.

It might disconcert some young women to dance, sing and amuse a great audience night after night with divorced husband on the stage joining Justify in. the choruses, but lers," is superior to that sort of thing.
 Only couple of days ago the mat rimonial knot which bound Miss George to w. Lester Brown was sev- cred by Justice Gildersleeve in the New York supreme court, giving the young actress an absolute divorce from her husband.
 That official act, it would seem, separated the two for good and all. But every night the ex-wife and ex- husband meet on the stage of the Knickerbocker theater, New York, where "The Strollers" are playing.
 They have little in common, how ever. The ex-wife shares the leading honors with Francis Wilson, and draws a salary of S15O week, while the ex-husband's individuality is al- most buried in the big chorus of men and women. His salary is said to be SIS week.
 But Miss George is as democratic as she is pretty, and, moreover, has kindly heart. It would be an easy matter for her, the star, to remain in ignorance of the existence of her former husband in the chorus, but she does not take advantage of her position to humiliate him in any way. On the contrary, she has upset the traditions of the stage by being friendly with him.
 Miss George was in the chorus her self years ago. She was drawing a small salary in ''The Isle of Cham pagne" when she became the wife of MT. Brown. He was then stock broker at No. Wall street and had great deal of money. By some he

FISH FLEE FROM THUNDER.
Hf Is Known to Fishermen That They Seek Refuge from Storm i'm Deep
 Water Away from Coast.

Fishermen along the Atlantic coast know the peculiar effect of thunder storms on fish, and save themselves unnecessary work because they do know it. Of the army of 40,eO0 fisher men that occasionally or regularly wet lines in the waters. contingous to New York, 35, 1000 never think Of going afishing after two or three days of thunder and lightning. They know better. The other 5000, hopeful and imaginative, with nothing better to do, take chance at it any way, and come home with fsherman's luck. The highest authorities among bay men say that thunder drives the fish into deep water off shore, and that vivid lightning so disturbs their sleep that they take day or two off for rest and recuperation.
 Thus it happens that on the third day after hard storm with fulmina- ton and pyrOtechnics, the catch is phenomenal, whereas on the first or second day after there is no sport ex- cept sailing o'er the bounding bill lows or grooming on a ground swell.

was reputed to be millionaire. Un- fortunate business ventures dissipat- CT his fortune, and now he values his humble role in 1.-The Strollers.'
 The position of the two is reversed. Formerly the husband had all the money. Now the ex-wife has fame and money. There is one scene in 1.-The Strol1ers" which must revive memories in the mind of the ex-hus- band of the days when he courted Miss George.
 He is one of the eight cadets who, in the second act, rush forward to welcome with song Mimi, his former wife, as she comes whirling on to the stage in an automobile. But now he is only one of eight, whereas. in real life years-ago he had the field to himself.
 Miss George was seen in her dress ing-room at the Knickerbocler after the performance, and when asked ny a New York World reporter if it were not trying on the nerves to have her former husband on the stage she said:
 "Oh, dear, no. He was in The Strollers' four weeks before I joined the company. When he joined neith- CT he nor I knew that I was coming here, so there is nothing in that.
 'It is not Mir. Browns first connec- tion with the stage. He had out his own company last year. No, it is not on my account that he is here"
 Mir. Brown is slender, clean shaven young man of about 35. He said:
 While respect Miss George as Q woman and an artist, I am not in love with her. My presence in the same company is purely matter of business, not of sentiment.
 ''We are good friends. I believe, as she does, that when husband and wife cannot agree they should sep arate. We agreed to disagree. have been on the stage several years ever since I quit Wall street-and the position is not new for me"
 Mir. Brown spoke of his record as an amateur athlete and exhibited a gold medal he wears on his watch chain given him as victor in seven mile running race on Travers island in 1897. He still belongs to tho Kn1ckerbocker- Athletic club.

Tn. Real Dead Sea Fruit.

~Dsad sea fruit actually exists. and not in metaphor only A recent tray eIer in the Sahara took a photograph fn the desert within a few miles of the oasis of Biskra, and his picture shows a group of dead sea fruit" or ~apples of Sodom," as they are some times called. The fruit grows upon the ground on a struggling stalk and Is about the size of an orange, golden colored, with bright green stripes, the skin being smooth like that of a melon It is strange irony of nature that the fruit which is so beautiful to look at should be a deadly poison It is interesting to note that the camels which graze upon the aromatic shrubs discriminate between them and this fruit of most tempting appearance.

NOTES ON THE LAWS Of' HEREDlIY I. in nothing that could add one line to that awful glazed notebook.
 Orridge, however, prided himself on thoroughness in this work of his; and Loreton guessed his motives when he heard him arranging further meet ings. He went so far as to ask Uncle Sam to stay with him for week.
 Loreton left them carefully alone till the day after the old gentleman's departure, when he went to Orridge's rooms to hear results. Orridge was radiant. "Couldr1 trace myself any where" he said, rubbing his hands together. .'The good old chap is as unlike me in every respect as one hu- man being can be to another. I may now consider myself fnished-com- pletely emancipated. Shake hands, old man. Do you know" he went on, ''I liked Uncle Sam? He's as clever as he can stick for one thing.''
 Don't be too modest" interrupted Loreton.
 'SJugginsi His cleverness does not happen to be in my line, that's all."
 What line is it in, may I ask?"
 "Oh, business and all that.''
 "He wouldn't think much of your work, then?''
 Never breathed word of it to him, of course. Would have spoilt everything. As it vas"
 Halter had come in with two let ters and a small parcel on a salver. Orridge tossed aside the letters, ob- vious bills, and opened the parcel. It contained book and note from Uncle Samuel. He wrote to thank Or ridge for his kind hospitality, and then went on:
 ''It might perhaps interest or amuse you to run your eye through the small book that I send herewith. I did not mention it in our recent in- tercourse, as we old men grow weary of provoking the laughter of you young. ones. But it is on subject which has interested me for many years past; and may some day get it privately printed for
 What the devil is it?" Orridge broke off.
 Loreton picked up the book, a glazed notebook, and read out: ''Notes on the Laws of Heredity, as Instanced in the Orridge Family"
 Yes, it was the best laugh that had been vouchsafed to Loreton in all his 34 years; but it nearly cost him friend. Aunt Gregory had triumphed for space.-Black and White.

THERE ARE TIMES

When one feels that living is a lux nry-
 When imagination does better serv- ice than memory.
 When character is formed according to financial conditions.
 When force of circumstances is only the result of 8 well-laid plan
 When it is not safe to presume on the generosity of your best friend
 When a woman recalls with pais her maiden days when her pa kept an open purse
 When one can't help feeling that lhe burden of wealth could pleasantly be borne
 When a man looks with something akin to sorrow on the easy life of his bachelor friends.
 When there is a sense of luxury in even the most commonplace event.-- Rhiledslphin Bulletin

The French government is now en- gagged in the restoration of what has been called '.the greatest temple ever built on the face of the earth" This temple is the temple of Karnak, in Egypt, which for over 5000 years has been falling into ruins. Originally the temple was 370 feet wide and 1900 feet long, or twice as large as St. Peter's in Rome. It was begun 2,70O years be- fore Christ, and was more than 1000 years in building Six men with ex- tended arms can hardly reach around one of the gigantic pillars still remain ing.
