tiniest powdertrain would mean the
blowing up of this mill, and, it might
be, the blowing up of another and an
other by conclusion.
All this young Dupont realized in a
single glance. Here would be an awful
disaster presently, and many lives i'm
periled, unless those falling firebrands
could somehow be kept off that roof.
TO know this was to act. Millionaire or
not, peril or not, it was his plain duty
as Dupont to fight those sparks;
and, without moments wavering, he
turned back and scrambled up the
bank.
Come on, beys!" he cried. "Start
the bucket line" And a moment later
he was climbing to the roof of the
threatened mill. And there he did all
that brave man can do; he stamped
out the falling embers; he dashed wa
ter again and again upon the kindling
fire as the men passed up full buckets;
and for time he seemed to conquer.
But presently the fire famed hotter,
the sparks came faster, and the water

hopeless, that the mill beneath him
was doomed, that the explosion must
come soon. They called on him to save
himself He shouted back an order
that they pass up more water, and
keep passing water.
The men below did their best, but it
was a vain effort, for in those days the
roofs of powder mills were made of
pitch and cement-not of iron, as to-
day-and by this time the fire had eat
en- its way nearly through. Alexis Du-
pont, working desperately, stood there
with flames spreading all around him.
1t was plain to everyone that the min
utes of his life were numbered. Again
they shouted, and
The explosion came like an execu-
ton, and out of the wreck of it they

the end-he died like a Dupont, said

A Salve for
1ncOnSt ancy
By GERALD Bliss
BY GERALD Bliss


NOUNG Lord Linlithgow's infatua-
ton for the beautiful Miss Dora
Lovelace, who sang ballads in charm
ing contralto voice at the Halls, had
been the talk of the town all through
the season; but the venerable and
autocratic earl of IbroX, his imperturb-
able parent, had only shrugged his
shoulders sagely at the rumors, NUT
tering with a senile smile that boys
would be boys, unless they happened
to be girls" But when, one evening
in the autumn, on the occasion of one
of the earrs flying visits to town, his
son announced, over the second bottle
of port, his intention of marrying her,
the storm broke with unprecedented
violence, after an ominous pause, dur
ing which his lordship collected his
stupefied wits and choicest vocabulary
and filled the walls of his wrath to over
flowing. He raved, and swore, and
stamped, and cursed, in the excess of
his parental solicitude. suffering out
d:siointed sentences at irregular inter-
walls.
Hitherto his son had borne the an
ticipated outburst with pale equanim-
atty; but now, after a verbal scuffie,
short and sharp, the conclave broke up
hurriedly, leaving the second bottle
unfinished.
The next morning Linlithgow called
a. Miss Lovelace's rooms, as usual, but
with certain diffidence in his heart.
There he found her coiled up on a cor
ner of the couch, reading the paper
an enticing picture of brown and pink
humanity, with dainty dimples and
hair that curled without pins.
The customary greetings having
been lavishly exchanged, Linlithgow

Proprictics of Suicide in Japan.

A double suicide which occurred on
the LIST inst. al Kamakura has attracted
some attention. 1t was caused by the
old trouble, love. The man, Suda roi-
chi, had been instructor of bookkeep-
ing in the Keiogi-j uIu and secretary of
the Tokyo Koshinji Intelligence bu-
reau), both of which posts he recently
resigned. The woman, Saito Chiyo,
was of good family and the possessor
of considerable paoperty. a few years
ago she married Ito Rokubei. a cabinet
merchant, the man being adopted into
the family of his wife. Three chill
dren were born, but the union appears
to have been unhappy. The wife en-
deavored uns successfully to persuade
her husband to agree to a divorce. and
finally she ran away to join her lover,
Suda, carrying with her sum of / 500
yen. Legal proceedings were then in
stituted by the husband, and the guilty
pair, seeing no hope of escape. COM
mitted suicide by hanging themselves
from the bough of cherry. An
exceptional feature of the affair was
the remarkable elaboration shown
by the unhappy couple. Each had the
face covered with white cotton cloth,
the man tied his feet together and the
woman bound cotton cloth about her
waist to prevent any arrangement of
her garment.-Japan Daily Mail.

"DIED LIKE A DUPONT"
How a Young Millionaire Gave Up
His Life in Attempting to Pre-
vent q Catastrophe

"The Dynamite Worker" is the SUBJ
iect of Cleveland Moffett's Danger
and Daring" article in a recent St. Mich
olas. Incidentally he tells how mem
Der of the great powder making firm of
Duponts went to a hero's death when
duty called him:
Let me conclude with the mention of
remarkable family of eXplosive-mak-
ers, the Duponts, of Wilmington, who
for generations now have had practic-
ally the monopoly of the powder-mak-
ing business, including dynamite and
nitroglycerin. In this enterprise a
great fortune has accumulated, so that
the Duponts of to-day are very rich
men, far beyond any need of working
/ in the mills themselves, and have been
for years. Yet work in the mills they
do-all of them practically-and direct
! in detail all of the processes of manu-
facture. and face continually, day by
day, in their own persons the same ter
rible dangers that the humblest mixer
faces in his tasks.
There has grown in their hearts
through the century a great pride of
courage, like that of an officer who
leads his men into battle-a pride far
stronger than any longing for pleas
ure. And they cannot, if they would,
leave these slow, grinding mills, where
any day spark may bring catastrophe
and make the whole land shudder.
There came a day, for instance-this
was long time ago-when swift
fame swept through one of the mix
ng rooms, nearly empty of powder at
the time, yet so permeated with the
stuff in floor and walls that the build
;ng was burning fercely in a few sec
onds. No man can say what started it,
although it was believed that heavy
oox, slid along the wooden floor,
brought flash out of the dry timbers.
| At any rate, the flash came, and the
blaze followed on it so swiftly that
the building was wrapped in fire be-
| fore the men inside could reach the
door, and they presently burst out
blazing themselves, for their clothing
was sifted through with explosive dust.
! Indeed, it is always true in fires at
| powder-mills that the workmen are a
serious menace to the buildings by rea-
son of their own inflammability.
So the next thing was plunge into
the placid Brandywine, which winds
across the yards between willow-hung
banks. In went the men; in went
young Alexis Dupont; and with little
hiss their flaming garments were eXtin-
! guished. Then, as they struck out
into the stream, they looked back and
saw that the wind was carrying a
shower of sparks from the burning
building to the roof of cutting-mill
near by, where tons of powder lay.
For one of the sparks to reach the
