HIS ELooUENcE WAS LOST
H is
Lawyers Efforts Weakened by Witty
Story of His Opponent.

A certain excellent but loud-voiced
lawyer was addressing jury. Fin
ally, in a perfect hurricane of sound
he closed his argument and sat down.
The jury were impressed, and the
other side was in danger.
The lawyer opposite had a sad, wat
cry eye and hatchetlike face. He
sat patiently through the tumultuous
gusts of his friend, and after the
reverberatons of the closing crash he
rose quietly from his seat
'As listened to the thunderous ap-
peals of my learned friend" he said.
addressing the jury in drawing
tone, Il recalled an old fable. You
will remember, gentlemen, how the
lion and the ass agreed to slay the
beasts of the felu and divide the
spoil. The ass was to go into the
thicket and bray and frighten the ami
mails out, while the lion was to lie
in wait and kill the fugitives as fast
as they appeared. The ass sought the
darkest part of the jungle and, lift
ing up his awful voice, brayed and
brayed and brayed The ass was
quite intoxicated with his uproar, and
thought he'd return and see what the
lion thought of it. With light heart
he went back and found the lion look
ing doubtfully about him
"'What do you think of that" said
the exultant ass. Don't you think I
scared 'em?
Scared emp repeated the lion. In
an agitated tone. Why, you'd a scared
me If | didn't know you were a jack
ass"
The jury laughed, the effect Of the
lawyers sonorous eloquence was Wis
IDLY weakened, and he lost the case.

SERVANTS IN 1000 A. D.
VIII Not Be Notwithstanding
Devices In Homes.

The thread-bare servant problam
will have become a thing Of the past
by 2000 A. D. Domestics seem to be
necessary nowadays to supplement
the deficiencies of some housewives
and owing to the incompleteness In
the construction of many houses. The
tendency Of modern apartment houses
is to minimize work SO that no serv-
ants will be needed.
The homes of the future will prob
ably be warmed in the walls from
some power-generating station. Air
will enter through proper tubes In the
walls which will warm the house and
will capture the dust, and 1t will be
spun out again by simple devices.
Scientific builders are now planning
to do away with the walls meeting
the floors at right angles. as by
rounding off the angles between wall
and floor sweeping and cleaning Will
be lightened
II a window is cleaned hurriedly
and left wet, it dries in spots, and
dirt is left in solution. By the touch
ing of q button and turning on OF
water that contains a solvent, water
would be forced down the window
panes from pin holes in pipe above,
into groove below, and this would
be followed by pure rain water, and
window cleaning would be done sans

ness and great spirituality, she
thought, a man of implacable temper
and imperious soul. Her great love
for him came before her with such
awful vividness. that hrr self-right-
eousness was overthrown; her pride
seemed tOtterng. Il cannot cover my
life with blackness, and leave such
blasphemous lie on my soul to avenge
katharyn. He is my life, my all. 1t
is wicked, wicked, the abominable i'm
pulse for revenge is gone and some
thing so sweet and terder has taken
its place-a something that seems to
lift the promise of hope. To confess
to him now would be cruel. II would
wound his beautiful faith in me. She
must, she would show her love for
him, she could not carry out this plan
of revenge"
''lle loves me, he loves me: that Is
surely what he longs to tell me. How
happy | shall be in his love. There
was only that one shadow on my con.
teutment and happiness, and am
sure he can explain that. 1t begins
to appear to me now like a CLEAN OF
sunshine"
She was attracted from her reverle
by a slight rustling of palms, and
looking up saw Harold in search Of
her. She could scarcely still her
hearts wild beating. Every pulsation
seemed like music telling her how
deeply, how passionately he loved her.

Harold said, as he came up and seated
himself beside her, "and really Miss
Crathmore, this is tn, happest day

why the happiest." queried Isabel
with the joyousness of love in every
tone.
Il must tell you," continued Har-
old, ''katharyn Frisbe and l were

coming from New York tonight. She
is my life. my all, and tomorrow we
can announce our marriage to the

Crathmcre, l have heard Katharyn
speak of you so often" Isabel was
stunned to think he would have the
audacity to speak to her of one he
had treated so leartlessly. ,te had
autographed her programme, and
when after several dances he came to
claim her. the soft strains of the
music, the exquisite floor. the beau.
tiful gowns, and such w2ltzing, such
gracefulness, all tended to change the
tenor of her mind. She had never
met any one who danced so divinely.
1t seemed almost like fairyland. She
regretted it must end SO soon. In

their little "tete-a-tete" after, she was
fascinated against her will by the
dark gray eyes of the picturesque
youth by her side.
There was a touch of embarrassment
in his manner now and then that
side was gaity. Men laughed and
women chatted. He was telling her Of
his hopes, of his ambitions. All too
soon, she was claimed for the next
dance.
Receptions, balls, dinners, they met
almost daily, and with the magic of a
woman's art, she consoled him. He

deity, such constancy, Isabel forgot
aught else. She determined to make
him love her at any cost; she must
avenge Katharyn.
Finally, Mrs. Larkin's last recep-
tion of the year, society had been
doting on it. The house was brilliant
and wit mingled.
Isabel looked charming in a fairy
creation of pure white. What NOV
ing scene of enchantment. she thought.
After a moment she began to pick her
friends out from the maze. in which
every one at first seemed confused in
one magic sensation.
Harold Vance came Immediately to
her. and speaking low said: Miss
Crathmore, there is something l must
tell you tonight" "He loves. me.
oh! he loves me; it must be that he
loves me-" thought Isabel.
The reflection restrained her for
moment, but she was mastered by
fear that was far more terrible.
Should he know her love? No, a
thousand times, no. She would not
fail, she would avenge poor Katharyn,
no matter what the cost. She could
keep her secret-it was hidden in the
dark recesses of her heart. Then she
began to chide herself for being in
