There was not the slightest doubt
that Violet Rayne was the belle Of the
evening. Her beauty caught and fas-
cinated every one; even Lord Nithdale
could not resist her charms, for now
and again he would cast a furtive
glance in her direction.
"Hullo, old fellow, how are you?
halt and the lame would prevent your
turning up"
Good evening, Nithdale," l replied,
grasping the extended hand of friend
ship.
Come along, T want to introduce
you to a great friend OF mine" He
led the way, and l followed him
through the brilliant throng MS he
endeavored to find the person alluded
TO. 81 suppose she's in the ante-room,

Raynes are the only people here who

had it brought from the bank a few
days ago, in order that my guests
should see that Dorothy Fleming isn't
going to marry pauper, at any rate.
We entered a small chamber where
a bevy OF smartly dressed men and
women had gathered round the case

The idea that the age of a horse
can always be told by looking at his
teeth" said a veterinary surgeon, sis
not entirely correct After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of a horse which is
more than eight years old. AS soon as
the set of teeth is complete a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge Of
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse more than eight you
must figure the teeth, plus the
wrinkles"

More small articles Of household and
Office use are manufactured in Newark,
n. J., than in any other American city.
The output of cheap patented goods is
almost incalculable, and in addition
there are manufactures Of all sizes
turning out feathers, jewelry, brass
goods, india rubber, celluloid, car
tridges, enameled cloth, machinery,
varnish, chemicals, hats, sewing silk,
thread, trunks, harness, cotton goods,
clothing, boots and shoes, sewing
machines, agricultural impliments, cut
lery, ales, beers and a thousand and
one other things. The capital invested
in manufactures exceeds 100000, 900.

A Headless Turtle.

1t has generally been supposed by
naturalists that the seat of the ami
mails instinct, as of reason in man, is
in the brain. An incident related by
DR.. Eugene Murray-Aaron, formerly
secretary and curator of the American
chronological Society, which came
under his observation while one of a
party Of specimen hunters in the West
Indies, would go to show the con.
trary, says the New York Tribune
He says that a swapping turtle was
discovered on the beach Of an island
where the party was encamped, max.
Ing for the water. One Of the party
seized an AK and cut off the turtles
head. Still the headless body con-
tinued moving with scarcely dlmin.
ished rapidity, leaving the head behind
on the sand. The turtle was picked
up and carried some distance inland,
then placed down, the neck facing
away from the sea. AS II in perfect
condition, the turtle turned round and
made for the water again, apparently
anxious to escape even without its
head.

Edison says the battery for his new
automobile can be charged in forty
minutes for n run Of twenty-five miles.
and in a couple of hours can be charged
for a 10o-mile run. The battery is
very compact, and is enclosed in a
sealed steel case twelve inches high,
six inches long and four inches wide.
The battery is about the size of a
Webster unabridged dictionary, and it
seems wonderful that energy for a
100-mile journey can be stored away
in that space.

when l entered his study he was sit

were dark rings, ample testimony OF
the suffering he had undergone. ]

Look here, Nithdale do you believe

his arm.

He rose languidly, and unlocking
cabinet produced the stone.
l looked at it carefully. AS / held
the stone in my hand something, ]
know not what, compelled me to rise
and go to the window. Lifting aside
the blind, l drew the edge of one of
the facets across the glass, while
Nithdale watched me in astonishment
Then, striking match, examined
the pane. The gem would not cut
therefore-it was also glass!
For a moment we stood looking int
each others faces; then took NTH

into a chair.

mediately and wait for a reply. Be-
fore half an hour had passed the man
returned, and, relieving him OF the
missive he bore, we broke open the en-.
velope and read it together
1t was just as 1 had expected.
Rayne said he was unable to come, as
Violet had given way to an old COM
plant, irritated by the excitement of
the previous evening. Or. Provost
had been sent for during the day and
had ordered her to be Immediately
removed to the continent so they in
tended to start by the first train in
the morning. He hoped, therefore,
that Nithdale would be able to write
his business.
Nithdale looked up at me inquiringly.
mo. l have not been called in, and
If Rayne knew was going to see his
letter he would have been more care
full what he said. He is, of course,
ignorant that we have discovered the
fraud. But mind, Nithdale, he is not
solely to blame. Violet Rayne put
the imitation stone in Miss Fleming's
pocket because she, too, loves you. A
dastardly trick. But who knows what
might have resulted from itF
"But can We save the real stone?
They will take it with them in the
morning"
Leave that to me. I will go and
see Rayne myself now. If he gives
me the diamond, well and good; if not,

v v cal man, had ever received
this one certainly deserved
chief honors. Once again picked up
the envelope and glanced at the writ
ing, only TO find it was the work of
the same hand that had penned the
letter. l allowed my breakfast to be.
come cold, and read the strange epistle
for the tenth time.
Dear Will-C0n you loan me a
couple of hundred pounds? It's n big
order, l know, but I'm in fearful
hole, and must get money somehow
before this day month, so if You could
help me out | should be extremely
grateful. BY the way, Lord Nithdale
has fallen hopelessly in love With that
ugly little vixen, Dorothy Fleming, so
there are no possibilities for Violet in
that quarter at any rate. DO you think
some alteration could be effected in
Henry's bequest? It's absurd, that
clause about the title; the more so. now
that Violet loves Nithdale. and l don't
believe anything on earth will per-
suade her that there are as good lish
In the sea as ever came out oG it. Cf
course, she hasn't a ghost OF a chance,
for that Fleming girl has cut her efl
from fortune and the man she loves.
However, she has had an invitation
to his lordship's ball, which she fool
ishly believes might mean something.
r. S. V. p, as soon as possible. Yours,
etc, FRANK RAYNE."
Although Rayne and his only daugh-
ter Violet were among my best pa
tients, l failed TO see his reason for
writing to me in this strain. He had
never even hinted at such a thing as
a loan before, and nOw-yes, there
could be no doubt but that the letter
was for me. 1t bore my name dis
tinctly in his own handwriting, and
he addressed me as "Will," which he
frequently did in conversation.
At length | gave up the quest of a
suitable solution, and going to my
bureau penned a short note to Rayne
acknowledging his letter, and saying
l was sorry l could not comply with
his request, and in a moment of irri-
tation l added that l considered it a
greater one than he had any reason.
able right to ask. This done, sealed
the envelope and dropped it into the
pillar-box, well aware that sooner OF
later l should discover the motive OF
his strange appeal. 1t was not un'
likely that he, too, would be present
at Lord Nithdale's ball, in which case
we should meet, for also should be
there.

o. the oountiful sense OF freedom that
sweeps through the hunters breast
When the tramp of the day is over and he
dreamily lies at rest
In the glow of the blazing camp fire that
stabs at the robe Of night,
And points at the gathering shadows with
fingers of CHEEKY light,
The smoke from his pipe curls upward in
wreathings of vaporish gray,
And chases the sparks from the pine knots
that snap in defiant way
As he lies in his well-worn blankets and
lazily takes his ease
Where only the stars can find him as they
peep through the sheltering trees.
He dreams of the world out yonder, but
never an envious thought
Finds place in his brawny bosom; to him
the great world is naught
But a whirlpool of care and trouble, from
whose ever-gathering ills
He fed to his life of freedom and peace in
the towering hills
He accepts no man as his master, he is
king of his wild domain.
There is none to challenge his power, there
is none to dispute his reign
As he lists to the nights weird voices
borne down on the whispering breeze
Where only the stars can find him as they
peep through the sheltering trees.

It is said that a billion plain, twenty
million fancy and thirty-two million
safety pins find a market in Chicago
every year. Enough common pins are
sold in New York City annually to
reach more than half way round the
world If welded in one continuous
chain. They would run from New
York City to San Francisco almost
five times, and if stacked up in papers
Of the ordinary commercial size would
stretch more than three miles into the
air.

THE HUNTER IN CAMP.

Those voices to him are as music; the cry
of the cragperched owl,
The spiteul squall of the wildcat, the dog
VOLTS resounding howl,
The voice of protest from the cougar from
mouth of its cavernous den,
As the smoke of his fire arises from his
camp in the hidden glen.
With never thought of danger he lies in
his blanket bed,
His coat of canvas the pillow supporting
his drowsy head
As he watches the white clouds drifting
through lmitless azure seas
Where only the stars can hnd him as they
peep through the sheltering trees.
o! where is the life so peaceful, so free
from the fangs of care!
With never a thought of the morrow-no
thought of the fruit it may bear.
His bedfellow but his rife, friend that
he never knew
To fail in the time of danger-no animate
friend more true.
He studies the iewe-beauties set high in
the arching skies
Till the finger of sleep soft touches the
lids of his weary eyes,
And sweet are the dreamland visions the
eye OF his slumber sees
Where only the stars can find him as they
peep through the she,tering trees.

According to the Review of Rev.

According to the Review of RevieN.
wheat growers pay the laborers from
$3.50 to $3.50 day. Some more expert
than others earn "a a day. The cost
of harvesting an acre of wheat is di-
vided as follows. Twine, 25 cents;
plowing and narrowing, 81; drilling,
40 cents; seed, 80 cents; cutting, S1.25;
hauling, S1.50; threshng, S1.75; total,
$6.65. If sold at 60 cents bushel, the
farmer doubles his money. Machinery
saves much to the farmer, but the day
laborer yields him even a greater profit.
A binder will cut Is acres a day. The
twine costs 25 cents an acre, the binder
driver is paid S1.50, and the hire Of
the team is $3.50. In some sections
the header is used instead Of binder,
thus eliminating the cost Of twine.
The total expense in cutting 1000 acres
IS 5000 Of which $40 goes for horse
hire and twine. However, the farmer
pays larger wages to those who do the
harder work Of the harvest field. The
binder driver sits under a sunshade,
riding upon his machine. His work is
frequently given to young women when
there is a scarcity of men in the field.
Those who shock the bundles Of grain,
tramping through the wlry stubble all
day long, are paid $3.50 day. Stack,
ers and haulers earn a similar sum.

AMERICAN METHODS

Held by MiddIes.
borough.

There is no point in the world that
need teach Middlesborough lesson in
the cheap production Of iron and
steel. The Durham coke. If properly
made, is equally good, If not better,
than that of Connelsville. The col
leries and coke ovens are nearer to
the Tees than is Connelsville to Pitts
burg. The Cleveland hills yet con-
tain a goodly store of iron ore, If
also the grade is going down. To en-
rich the mixtures the Scandinavian
mines considerably nearer to Middles-
borough than are the Lake Superior
fields to Pittsburg supply an even rich
er and better raw material. In the op-
posite direction Spanish hermatites are
available with easier transport than
that of the Lake ores, Middlesborough
has also the advantage over Pittsburg
of being located on the sea and in the
midst of the densely populated
European countries. II, therefore, the
Middlesborough ironmaster adapt
not copy,-American methods, not on
ly as regards furnace plants and steel
works, but also, and of still more i'm
portance, as regards generous employ
ment of money, consolidation of in
tcrests, control of raw materials, sell
ection of managers, and treatment
and control of labor, they should never
need fear competition from an in
dustrial center situated $500 miles
away from the market at their very
door, and this opinion, take it, will
also hold good for South Wales, the
Midland districts and Scotland.
Nor does the world stand still while
the iron industry is growing and de-
veloping. New markets, new en-
ployments, new needs arise and null
tiply and. therefore, 1t Is, in my opin
ion, certain that there will be room for
us all in the future. as in the past,
though the preponderating influence in
the iron world, and the largest out
puts of iron and steel, counting by
nations, will during this and the next
generation continue to be found on
the western side of the Atlantic Ocean.
1t is an axiom that no nation can
remain or become a world power
without the aid of an adequate iron in
dustry. Great Britain cannot, and, |
am sure, will not see it's iron indus
try permanently lose ground. If, there
fore, which / do not believe, it should
come to pass that protected America
to such an extent makes free trade
Britain the market for such sur
plus of iron and steel products as can
not elsewhere be disposed of
that the home industry of the lat
ter country seriously and permanently
suffers thereby, it must be remem-
bered that nothing but the will and
dictum of the British people keeps
the door open for such imports, and
that 1t is practicable If not to close the
door, at least to place such bar
rier across 1t as to give those inside
n chance to live.-Axel Sahlin, in

The company has exchanges In all

to build a line to Vickers, o.. about
six miles from New Philadelphia, the

being done one of the number drove
to town and notified the local man

any attempt to raise poles or string
wires would result in trouble.
County Manager Obetz decided to
build the connecting link Sunday and
took a large number of men and ex.
ira poles and supplies to the place
early in the morning. The work of
raising the poles was nearly completed
before the farmers discovered the tel

utes an alarm had been sounded and
they rallied to the scene armed with
pitchforks and like implements ofwar-
fare. They drove the telephone men
away from the poles already up and
with a big saw started TO cut them
down.
Manager Obetz hastened to town
and swore out warrants for the farm
ers on the charge of destroying prop
erty and took a constable along to
serve them. Five poles were cut down
in his absence. Under the protection
of the constable the work was sue
cessfully completed and the farmers
will be given hearing today at New
