Seeing bX Wire.

A new discovery of apparently
remarkable value was submitted To.
day TO the French Academy Of
Sciences. IL relates to the POSSIBLE
ity of seeing. the reflection of persons
TO whom one is talking through the
telephone.
1t is not possible, says the secreta-
ry ofthe academy. to pronounce upon
the real value of the discovery al
this early stage, but il has been
submitted 10 the examination OF &
technical committee. The informa-
ton publicly given on the subject is
that fresh contribution on the solu-
tion of the problem of vision through
obstacles has been submitted TO the
academy by an inventor whose name
would only be made known after the
report of the committee on the prac-
ticability of the invention.
The inventor proposes 10. solve the
problem by means OF electricity, and
suggests the utilization of the known
electrical response Of selenium to
the action OF light.
Ii may be mentioned that II IN

working ut the solution Of this pro-
blem of vision through the tele-
phone. Express.

After giving fair aud patient

Tor sleeplessnes. the writerstumbled
across simple method OF inducing
somnolence that has the merit oil

Having retired for the night. the suf-

AS sleep is often successfully

land in the panic that ensued there
is an incident that stands out in my
memory, illustrating the slender
thread between the tragic and the
ridiculous. We had fellow on board
who had managed to keep pretty well
loaded all the way across, and when
we struck the rocks he was in his
usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure we were going to

Handmade Marble.

In the city of Tacoma some scien-
tific sharps have discovered a way to
do in two days what it has heretofore
taken nature a million years to ac-
complish. according to biologists.
Gypsum is what has been called for
convenience young marble"-that is,
if left to itself some thousands or
millions of years it would become
marble. These Tacoma sharps are
now shaping their gypsum with lathes
and chisels-it is soft and easily
worked-and then subjecting it to a
secret treatment which makes it real
ly marble of very high quality. The
gypsum is brought from mines in
Alaska. 1t is said to be exactly the
same substance as goes to form mar
ble.-Savannah News.

room and the hotel and tool, his way
downward. walking slowly, but
steadily, as man who has made up
LIS mind to do thing of moment.
saAing the consequence as man
nay.
AS for the banker, he threw away
the extinct cigar-a bit of wasteful-
aess so inharmonious with his char
acter as to be in itself a mark of I'M
usual perturbation-and went out to
see If dinner were ready. 1t was not;
and SO he strolled on to the veranda,
reaching it just as DR.. Farnham was
handing himself into buggy with n
young lady. Andrew Galbraith looked
again, and recognized in the young
woman who was holding the reins
one of his late rescuers. Whereupou
he descended the steps to speak to
her. Since the doctor was the house
physician, the banker had met him;
but this was his first intimation that
Griswold's companion was Miss Farm
ham.
Thereupon followed the introduce
ton in due form, with encomium
enough on the part of the rescued
one to make Charlotte blush, and the
good doctors eyes to grow conspic-
aously dim with fatherly pride.
I'VE must know more of you, Mr..
Galbraith," he said, Hospitality. Can
you save us tomorrow evening, and
come to quiet little family dinner?"
Andrew Galbraith said he would be
delighted, and SO they parted.
But many things were scheduled to
come between the invitation and the
quiet little family dinner at Lake
lodge.

When the purple fades to silver, and the
crimson turns to. snow,
We see beyond the picture which our rap

vision of the Heavenly home, whose
streets are paved with gold.
In the quiet Of the twilight. when the birds
come home to rest,
Within the soul sweet thoughts arise, the
purest and the best; '--y

And burn and shine till all the earth their

When Nature opens up her graves, at

And out of death and darkness comes a

For myriad heralds loud proclaim the resur-

a draft cashed, and T.
ooh, don't!" was all she said, but
after that she sat as one suddenly
turned to stone.
He did not speak until she gave
him leave, and then he rose and
stood beside her.
Il came here tonight to tell you
this, Charlotte; to tell you that /
love you, and-and to bid you good
by; know very well what 1 have
done; that 1 have removed myself
as far from you as if we lived on
separate planets. But I had to tell
you"
She looked up at him, and he could
see that the glorious eyes were brim-
ming.
"Once-on the boat, you remem-
ber-you said you could defend your
SELF" she faltered. "Can you do it
yet?"
"That defense still stands for what
it is worth-to me. But know what
you think about it-what you must
think. So / have come to say good
by"
She slipped quietly out of the ham
mock and stood before him in all
her beauty.
"You are keeping something back, {"
she said. "Tell me what it is that
you are going to do?"

train for New Orleans-to give my
self up"
"Oh, no, mol" she cried; and her
arms went about his neck as if that
were the only way to hold him. "Oh.
you mustn't, Kenneth, for II love
you"
He drew her closer and kissed her
twice, thrice. Then he put her from
him gently and groaned in the bit
terness of it.
Nov God forgive me, my darling,
for 1 have slain my love! 1 under

of sin that morning, and now 1 have
dragged you in after me. Good-by,

CHAPTER XXXIII.

It was seven o'clock when Griswold
lad finally fought his way out of the
turmoil CT conflicting doubts and dis
fractions and had come to some
definite conclusion touching his duty.
In the light of a possible miscon-
struction of his words by Margery
Ehere was nothing for it but to go
30 her and have the doubt cleared
sway before he should speak to Char
lOtte.' So much honor demanded; and
9riswold was not the man to shirk
ahere honor was involved.
But when he was closing Mrs. Hol-
combs front door behind him, the
Srierson footman opened the gate
and came up the walk with a note.
6riswold stepped within to read it
BY the hall light. 1t was from Mar
gery, and while he could not help
smiling at the courageous naiyete of
4, it freed him suddenly from the
burden of doubt.
.'You may think what you please of me, :"
che wrote. but you are my one real friend

''MARGERY."
Griswold ran up to his room, pen
riled his answer on the back of her
aote, reenclosing it in fresh envel-
epe. and fastened down to give it
81 the waiting footman. Then he
aalked quickly to the drug store at
tie corner and called up the iron
aorks by telephone. Luckily Raymer
Gas there.
Going to stay little while, Ned?"
Aes asked.
The answer was in the affirmative,
aud Griswold added but word: "All

crossing and made his way to the
sfsice of the iron works. Raymer was
here, elbow-deep in his correspond

behind him, lodging from tree to
tree and shadow to shadow, another
man who was evidently following the
stumbler.
The doctor drove on, thinking he
must have been mistaken as to the
drunken mans identity. But he was
not. 1t was Griswold; and when he
reached the Office of the iron works
he let himself in and turned on the
incandescent light, did this and
wheeled quickly to confront his pur-
suer on the threshold of the open
door.
For a fieeting half-second Girls
void was startled, as anyone might
be. Then he saw that the incomer
was Griffin. So he greeted him
guardedly and waited to know what
the late visit purported.
Griffin seemed in no hurry to ex-
plain. On the contrary, he closed the
door carefully behind him, swapping
the catch of the night-latch as he did
it, though this Griswold did not
know. Next he drew down the win
dow shade and, wheeling out the
chair from Griswold's desk, sat down
to clip the end from a very large CT
gar.
Griswold had watched his move
ments, first in wonder and then with
a chill frost of despair slowly freez-
ing him. For one brief instant he
glanced aside at the rife hanging

from temptation, dropped into Ray
mer's pivot-chair and covered his
face with his hands. It had come.
81 guess you know what I'm here
for" said the detective, finally, when
the big cigar was well alight.
Griswold nodded.
Griffin smoked stolidly for full
minute before he added: 1--WE had
devil of time finding you; never
should have found you if you hadn't
gone off your head and got girl
crazy.
This time Griswold made no sign.
Once again his eyes we-e marking
the exact distance of the rife on the
wall. A silence surcharged with the
electricity of possibilities settled
down upon the cramped little room;
and when it became unbearable the
detective broke it.
Where's the swag?" he asked,
briefly.
Then Griswold spoke for the first
time. Its here in this plant; the
greater part of it."
"Humphl supposed So" And
then. after another silent interval:
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1903-03-13

why the devil don't you say some
thing?"
Griswold spread his hands. Ether,
is nothing to say-nothing that
think of. You have run me. down
and that's the end of it." But he
glanced once more at the rife.
Griffin smiled. "The gun sort O.

jump quick enough to get the dror
on me. You can do it if you want
to. l left my arsenal at the hotel
and came here bare-handed."
Griswold's eyes began to grow
steely. Pardon me, but that was a
very foolish thing to do, Mr.. Griffin
Reckon SOP"
Every foolish. You lose sight of the
cost of this thing which you are here
to do; the cost, not to me, but to
others who are innocent"
Griffin smiled again. Hundred
thousand-dollar hold-ups are pretty
likely to be costly for somebody"
"Yes. There may have been a time
when I should have given you the
key to my safety deposit box, but
that time is in the past. The money
is no longer in the bank; it is here
in this plant, and my arrest and con-
viction will bring ruin upon my
friend"
"Well?" said the detective.
81 was just thinking" said Girls
void, refectively. perhaps you can
help me to decide a point-you've
had good bit of experience, I take
it. If professional highwayman
had robbed Mr.. Galbraith last spring.
would any considerable portion of
the-the swag, as you term it, be
recoverable now?"
The detective gave an ex parte
opinion. "Most likely not. It's easy
come, easy go, with that lot"
precisely. Then I'll make you a
proposal. Leave the recovery of the
money out of the question, and I'll
go with you peaceably and plead
guilty"
Griffin laughed outright. you're
a cool one" he said. what do you
take me for?"

"Then die!" yelled the man at bay.
launching himself like stone from
a catapult on the detective.
The struggle was short and sharp,
and the battle was not to the strong.
Griswold was the heavier man, and
he had the strength of despair to
help him; but the detective was
1.-THE and wiry and able to match
strength with willy cunning born
of many a fierce encounter with des-
perate men. Back and forth in the
cramped office they reeled, locked in
a death grip and swaying and STUN
bling as one man. But at the end
of it Griffin broke his antagonists
hold, and there was a, heavy fall,
with the detective uppermost.
Had enough?" he asked; and
when Griswold gave over he rose and
helped the beaten one to his feet.
Griswold set his teeth and held
out his wrists for the manacles.
Griffin swore gruffiy and dashed the
blood out of his eye. He had struck
the corner of the desk in falling and
the cut was bleeding freely.
