The WAY
Of the
TRUTH
By EVERETT HOLBROOK
By EVERETT HOLBROOK


n ANGDON MORRISON'S I'm.
I'LL Gle had said to him: You
Hizn,. are too young to make such a
e decision. The young lady
may be the essence of perfection; l
say not word to the contrary. But
don't marry her yet. Wait. You
haven't engaged yourself to her. Don't.
Go abroad. Travel for year, and
then see what you two people think of
each other"
And Langdon had gone to the girl
whom Ne loved and had told her that
he was going abroad on business for
his uncle, and the lie had blistered his
heart, harder and harder afterward, as
10 the habit of blisters both physical
and spiritual.
Upon the other side of the water the
young man had strayed into out of the
way regions and had returned to Paris
to find great accumulation of mail
and cablegrams. His uncle's death
was the news that had been flashed to
him under the ocean. He had inherited
q great fortune. By the slower medium
of the mails there had come word that
the woman whom he had lied to and
run away from had married Dudley
Warner. Then young Mr.. Morrison
perceived that his inheritance was of
no use to him; that he might as well
81 have received the gold upon a desert
island, where 1t could neither benefit
himself nor any one else.
All the way across the ocean Morri-
son had repeated to himself one ques-
ton: "Why did she choose him? Why
him of all men" And he could find no
answer except that Warmers whole
life had been imposture and theft, the
INSCRIPTIONS enjoyment of that which
was not rightfully his. The man had
assiduously served the devil and had
always been paid in stolen goods. He
had never been openly disgraced. I'm
dOubtedly Viola Dane had accepted
him upon his own false and perjured
self valuation.
Morrison spent his first day in New
York absolutely In retirement except
for a lawyers visit. He was striving
to school himself to meet Viola with
precisely the right countenance 1t was
no part Of his plan of life to give up
the sight Of her. He would be to her
all that he honorably might There
would be no peril to her, for it was now
clear that she had never cared for him
more than she had let be seen. and that
was little enough.
At o'clock in the morning he WIS
lying awake. deadly tired, unable tC
close his eyes. There is a weakness
that comes with WEAKNESS, an excess
of all the tender sentiments and Of self
pity that man should be ashamed of.
There was knock upon the door,
and muffied voice called, "Telegramv'

creased from $4,000, 900 to So, 10000
In value, while the imports increased
from S4O.OOO.OOO to S44OOO,OOO.

creased from S20000,000 to So 100000
In value, while the imports increased
from $40,oOO,00O to S44,00000O.
This large increase in the growth of
exports over that of imports is OF
course gratifying. but why should
there be an excess of imports over eX-
ports anyway? The United States has
every advantage for the production Of
cotton goods. both for the home mar
ket and for export trade. 1t supplies
the rest of the world the greater part
of its raw material, this country pro-
ducing 100000 out of a total of r.
100000 bales of cotton grown last year.
Why therefore should we send raw
cotton across the Atlantic to he manu-
featured in England ur elsewhere and
bring the finished product back when
we have both the raw material and the
market at home?
That we do this is said to be mainly
due to the fact that we manufacture
largely the coarSer and cheaper fab
RIGS and depend upon others for the
finest products of the mill. This ought
not to be true, and if it is there is need
Of Improvement on the part of our
manufacturers. With the growth of
cotton mills in the south. where the
cost of transporting the bulky material
Is reduced to n minimum. there is
chance for those of New England,
where there Is an accumulation of cap
ital and skill, to aim at producing the
finer qualities. The New England man
ufacturers might well bestir themselves
In this direction.

A shudder ran over Morrison's gigan-
tic fraIae. and the sudden. spasmodie
pressure Of his fingers made the doctor
vince.
sHe is conscious. OF was so ten min
utes ago" said Newton, but It's all
over. | have had a telegram from her.
She cannot be here till late In the after
noon. and think she will not see him
alive"
How was he hurtf
"a trolley car, a cab and the hand OF
Providence said the doctor slowly.
The man has confessed to me that he
was running away"
What has he said of herr"
"He talks mostly about himself"
was the reply. Hes afraid we're not
doing everything we can for him. He's
afraid TO die I've heard a good deal
from him about the hard luck that he's
had in the world, but very little about
his affection for his wife"
I'VE must fix up some kind Of a story
for her." said Morrison, turning a
shade paler as he spoke.
1t was o'clock when Viola reached
the hospital. She was shown at once
TO DR. Newton's room. The physician
and Morrison rose and faced her In ST.
lence as she entered. She looked from
one TO the other.
"He is dead" she said quietly.
The two men inclined their heads.
Then the doctor looked at Morrison,
expecting him TO speak. The young
man was white as paper and his lips
We're firmly compressed.
"If you will excuse me" said the doc
tor. 81 have many duties | will leave
you together"
Morrison looked at her. his deep blue
| eyes drinking In the beauty for which
they had thirsted so long. He was sur
prised to find her SO little changed. He
| had expected that she would seem
older, different, woman with eyes for
the past. He found her the same. She
was neither spoiled nor in any way
changed. Her wide, brown eyes still
looked to the future. They were open,
! like child's. as they had always been.
She had not lost her beauty, her inno-
cence her courage or her hope. She
was as she had been when he had
stood in the light of her presence and
had told her that he was going abroad
upon his uncle's business The
shame of that memory sickened him.
"Viola." he said, II was with Dudley
when he died. He told me the whole
truth about himself, and | am going to
tell 1t to you-because | can't help it."
81 am very glad" she said, looking
straight into his eyes. Il hate a lie
AS to this truth, already know it
He had deserted me. If he still haC
any love for me, it was choked by hi:

at was hard" she corrected him
"but 1t was known and suffered weeks
ago. Let US not speak of that. Tel
me what must be told and advise M
as to whit must be done"
Morrison stood speeches.. His hear
was throbbing out the question:: "Wha
If told her a lie? If | had brough
her false messages in this bitter hour!
Presently they sat down and talke'
together long time, with sincerity
without exaggeration, without blam
for the dead, who in life had been him
self and no other, working out the ma
ture that was In him.

TELL HER THE TRUTH" HE SAID.
think enough of her to try to bring it
out. Perhaps you can straighten him
up and advise him and bring him back
when he gets well. But anyhow you
see him first-before she does, do you
understand?-and keep the truth from
her."
Morrison arose slowly and stepped
forward to take the woman's stiff and
withered hand.
81 understand" said he. "I'll do it.
Take this money. She may not have
enough for the journey. Don't say
left it. Don't say that | was here"
He walked toward the door, and
when his hand was on the knob he
turned suddenly.
"Tell her the truth" he said. "Say
was here and left the money, thinking
she might lose time If she happened to
lack the necessary amount at the mo-
ment. l don't feel like leaving lie
behind me for her"
1t was l o'clock when Morrison
reached Boston, and he drove immedi-
ately to the hospital. Newton gave him
no greeting but grip of the hand
"You are just in time" he said.

According to a late dispatch, the
three greatest circus organizations are
being merged and the owners are
forming an out and out trust to freeze
out the little one ring affairs, parcel
out the territory and put up prices. If
it Is not yet too late, the public should
make vigorous protest against such
combination. The circus trust, like the
peanut trust, proposes a monopoly of
an article which is prime necessity.
In this respect, as well as In many 9th
ers, the circus and the peanut are in
timately associated. So long as the
trusts monopolize luxuries, such, for
instance as beef or coal or oil. they
may be endured, but when 1t comes to
monopolizing a necessity like the cir
Gus it Is time to call halt. If the cir
Gus trust can raise the prices ut the
wagon ticket office, what will hinder
1t from raising the prices at the
concert, Immediately after the per-
formances In the big tent" and raising
the tariff on the pink lemonades and
the peanuts, without which circus
would be like Hamlet" with the i'm
mortal Dane left out?

Utilization of ByllrUducts.

Utilization of ByErUducts.
That naSlre produces nothing that lie
useless is a truth which the American
people are coming to acknowledge more
generally year after year. Once we
were regarded as the most wasteful
people In the world, throwing away
as useless enough to support millions
of persons annually, but in the past
few years we have been learning some
valuable lessons In the economy OF
natures bounties and now turn to use
full account thousands OF byproducts
which we formerly burned up or left TO
cumber the earth in unsightly masses.
The best results In this direction
have been secured In the utilization OF
the byproducts of coal. crude oil, cot
ton and food animals, and from these
through chemical and mechanical proc
esses have been produced almost count
less articles covering a wide range of
human necessity and luxury. Take

five different byproducts come from
the carcass of steer.
The brains of healthy cattle contain
remedies for all sorts OF nervous dis
eases, and their stomachs and intes-
tines furnish the elements for similar
remedies for diseases of the digestive
organs. Their blood goes both to the
drugstore and to the tannery, the cot
ton mill, the sugar refinery and other
places. The bones are used In several
of the industries and the arts. The
hoofs furnish material for buttons and
ornaments. They are converted into
cyanide of potassium for the reduction
of refractory ores, and the residue is
the finest fertilizer used by modern
florists in their forcing houses. Cellu
loid Is made from bones Of animals
The horns are steamed and split and
fattened out for use In the manufac-
ture Of hairbrushes. combs large but
tons, knife handles and various other
Articles. The fat Is converted into imi-
tation butter. The sinews, lungs. intes-
tines and the rest Of the internal ar
rangements go into the pot and come
out gylcerin, glue, listerlne, gelatin and
in various useful and valuable forms.
The skimming of the tanks Is very val
liable; not a drop is lost. The marrow
Is used for medicines and nutritives.
The ribs Of calves are macerated into
a powder which Is Of great medicinal
Importance. The soft bones of the
neck, shoulders, ribs and breast are
crushed and boiled for the gelatin that
is in them and then go to the glue fac
tory. But the most productive gelatin
material Is found in the scraps trim
med from the hides around the horns,
the nostrils and the hoofs. 1t is esti-
mated that the income from these by
products is more than sufficient to pay
the transportation and shrinkage of
the live animal from the ranch to the
packing house.
The same story could be told Of a
score Of other articles formerly deemed
waste Thus an enormous saving is
effected. reducing under normal condi-
tons the cost to the consumer of many
necessaries and luxuries without les
scning the legitimate profits of the pro-
Queer and ought to cause still greater
reduction as the utilization Of byprod-
ucts is further developed and extended.
