 While sitting there. Nan suddenly re- membered that she did have g grievance and very real one. Tasma rid was in a state of insurrection. She had not been treas when the latter visited her girl friends and for long time she had been sulking and pouting. Her grief, when separated from Nan. was very keen. She refused to eat, and for the most part kept herself in seclusion, and no one was able to find her hiding place. Now, when Nan threw herself upon the steps in an attitude of dejection, with her head on her arm, 1t happened that Tasma lid was prowling about with the hope of catching a glimpse of her. The African, slipping around the house, suddenly came plump upon the object of her search. She stood still. and drew long breath. Here was Honey Nan apparently in deep trouble. Tasma Tid crept up the steps as silently as ghost. and sat beside the prostrate form. If Nan knew. she made no sign; nor did she move when theAfrican laid caressing hand on her hair. It was only when Tasma Tid leaned over and kissed Nan on the hand that she stirred. She raised her head. saying:
 "You shouldn't do that. Tasma rid. I'm too mean"
 How came you dis away, Honey Nan?', inquired the African in a low tone. .'who been-a hut your

M E .
 Fifteen years ago there was consterna- ton among the big publishers. The wood engraver, whose art is over thousand years old, needed boxwood for his won- derful work, and what was to be done when the worlds supply of lockwood was exhausted? So graver and publisher ex- perimented with various kinds of woods, none of which gave the results secured from boxwood, and watched the decreas- ing supply of lockwood with grave appre- hension. Today when the half-tone, the more mechanical child of the strenuous rushing life of the twentieth century, satisfies most readers and makers of books and magazines, a boxwood famine seems a remote and slight evil. For wood engravings have come to be the delight of the. elect few, while the half-tone Is the daily bread of the mass of readers.
 Engraved wood blocks and what are called half-tone plates unlike Jther pro- ductions of pictures, can be printed on the same page and at tLe s>,l.e ,ll44s with type or reading matter. This is be- cause the picture appears on the block or plate in lines raised above the gen. eral surface. the same as do type letters. so that when those raised lines are linked and the paper pressed in contact with them by the cylinder of the printing press the ink is picked up by the paper and the image transferred to it.
 For both these processes the artist makes his drawing of the subject requir- cd. of any size he finds convenient. on paper or canvas. For engraving on wood this drawing is photographed down to the size of the magazine or book page and the resulting negative printed on the pre- pared surface of e piece of boxwood. The engraver then places the artists drawing or painting within view for reference and proceeds to cut white lines of differ ent widths into the surface of the wood forms preserved for him by the photo

There must be. too ,the artists eye and instinct.
 In the half-tone process the drawing is also reproduced by photography to the size of the required page, but the rays of light are conducted to the negative through a glass screen placed in the cam era immediately in front of the negative The screen Is composed in incised straight lines ruled at right angles and filled in with lamp black. So close are they to- gether that for fine work they number as many as two hundred to the linear inch and four hundred to the square inch. thus giving forty thousand spaces between the lines, or one million six hun dred thousand spaces on a picture of five by eight inches. For newspaper printing the screen Is sixty-five lines to the inch.
 Degrees of light and dark are repro duced in the negative by the power of the light sifted through the nttle squares of the screen. The dark portions of the drawings reflect little light. so that but feeble rays can pass through, making

graphic print. It is apparent that two lncislons of the graver are required to make one black line in relief, that is one on each side, the final result being the same as if black lines had been drawn upon a white sheet of paper. These black lines are generally so even and close to-
 gether as to give the appearance of flat gray tint, opening out where the tint is lighter. and omitted entirely where 6 pure black shadow pr a pure white Is required Tn the latter case the surface
 of the wood is cut away entirely so that the paper can receive no linked impress sion from that portion. Not deftness and skill of hand alone will. accomplish such delicate results and successfully repro

cried Nan, laughing at the Africans s earnestness.
 But at last she flung her pen down, seized her hat. and, with an unspoken invitation to Tasma rid. went out into the street, determined to go to the Gather Place, where Eugenia lived, and present her excuses In person.

THE POSTMASTER
Shook OFF Coffee And Got Well.

It's so easy to shake off coffee and cof-
fee-diseases when well made Postum
Cereal Food Coffee is served in it's
place that it doesn't take long to tell
the tale.
The Postmaster of flourishing town
in Dinwiddie County, Va, writes, up
to u short time ago coffee had me a
great sufferer from constipation, nerv-
BUSINESS and indigestion. About the
middle of last July quit coffee and be-
gan using Postum and ever since l have
been improving. My troubles have now
quite disappeared.
Il attribute my recovery to Postum
and have induced several of my friends
to try it. You are at liberty to use
this Name given by Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich.
There is a reason. Coffee is a definite
poison to many persons and disease sets
in if the use of even one cup day is
continued.
When the poison is withdrawn and a
pure food beverage like Postum Food
coffee used the return to health is
natural and prompt if the disease is not
too advanced. and many. very many
old chronic diseases disappear when the
coffee is abandoned and Postum used in
it's stead. Many of these old diseases
are hidden nervous disorders, that is
coffee keeps the nerves poisoned and
that condition crea ties and holds disease
in some organ of the body Take away
the cause and give true, natural nerve
rebuilder like Postum and the change
is often miraculous.

JUBILEE PRESENTS
Of Late Queen Victoria Going
to St. Louis Exposition.
Will Be Sent by King Edward In
Token Of Appreciation
OF Affection and Respect Shown Her
by Americans.

London, Feb. 25.-King Edward will
send the late Queen Victorias price
less collection of jubilee presents for
exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition as his personal contribution
towards the success of the exposition.
The King personally announced this
decision, today, to Mr.. Francis, presi-
dent of the st. Louis Exposition, who,
accompanied by Ambassador Choate,
was received in audience by His Ma
jesty at Buckingham palace, this morn
ing.
King Edward told Mr.. Francis that
he had been prompted to take this step
by his keen appreciation of the af-
lection and respect in which the
American people always held his
mother and as a token of his init
mate sympathy with American in
terests. He said that he thought
nothing probably would be more APP
preciated by the American and Cana
dian visitors to the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton than this national momento of
Queen Victora's reign. Mr. Francis on
behalf of the exposition expressed his
thanks to King Edward for the prom
ised exhibit.
The King was most cordial in his re-
ception of Mr.. Francis and evinced
much interest in the exposition. Mr..
Francis was more than satisfied with
His Majesty's promises to lend all pos
sible influence toward providing for
full representation of Great Britain
at st. Louis. The appointment of a
royal commission to this end will
doubtless be announced in a few days.
After fFe aiIdipnce with King Ed
ward, Mr.. Francis lunched at the Man
sion house with the lord mayor, Sir
Marcus Samuel.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the
commander-in- chief, who came in
later, told Mr.. Francis that he hoped to
visit st. Louis when he went to
America.
All those present at the luncheon
expressed the heartiest wishes for the
success of the st. Louis Exposition.
