Before he departed, Elfenstein saw to
It that EthePs arm was well cared for.
Leaving explicit instructions as to her
case with Mrs. Clum, he left home, ex-
pecting to return the next day.
But in this he was disappointed. His
patient was quite i'll; he insisted on the
doctor remaining constantly at his side,
and policy and real concern for him kept
Earle away for nearly two weeks.
A vast surprise greeted Elfenstein
when he returned home--a perfect series
of them, in fact. During his absence two
| very important things had occurred. Sir
NReginald had died suddenly, death prob
\ bly being FASTENED by his recent great
and Ddhel was no longer an
ANate of the doctors home.
AArs. Clum told him how the young girl
haS\Eemsined two days. Her arm had
cemSto rights quickly. The death of
Sir Nginald had shocked her, and, she
seomecNperyous, worried, eager to get
away fNn the scenes that had Mortified
her. Sh%had left tear stained note,

Some fanciful stories are being cir
culated about Joseph Chamberlain and
his oratorical powers as a youth, but
from what a friend of his says con-
corning the great statesman's college
days it is great mistake to say that
young Chamberlain could speak well
when at school. In fact, he could
never be induced to speak, and In this
he somewhat resembled the retiring
Arthur Balfour.
One day one of the masters OF the
school which he was at asked Cham
berlain to make the reply to a speech
which had just been delivered by one
of the elder students Of the debating
class. The hour came. and with a
firm step Chamberlain mounted the
platform. With perfect outward self
possession he faced the audience and
made his bow-a low bow.
Everyone waited expectAntly. Peo-
pie became anxious when the young
man again bowed, but said nothing.
Then n litter went round among the
boys. Suddenly the coming colonial
secretary, with look Of utter despair,
sided OF the platform with another
bow, not having said one word!-

which 10 devote cur thoughts to count

Is it not something to see the blue aky

the best engineers in the country and has

latest boat As II is, the boat Is in some
places plated with metal that, though stout
and stanch, is no thicker than the thinnest
zinc plate. There is no great discussion
about the matter. as 1t Is we'll understood
that the designer uses the greatest dis
cretion and works entirely on a scientific
basis.
There IL one characteristic about the
new boat that was never noticed before In
the building Of other Cup defenders at
Bristol, and that is the plan Of reducing
the weight in the plating and increasing

This IL not only evident in the hull OF the
boat, but crops out also in the steel spars
and rudder. Less strain In required OF the
plates when the framing is stronger and
more finely distributed to take the stress

ton was fitted with hollow cylinder -shaped
spreaders when she was rugged two years
ago. There is to be change In the plan
Of forming the spreaders for the new craft
because instead of having spreaders re.
