without inquiring into its cause; for he
saw plainly that Hugh was not i'll, but
that something unpleasant pressed upon

hour.
As soon as Robin was gone, Rose went

begged him to tell her the cause of his
downcast appearance. But he would not
reply to her troubled inquiries.
'ltOSe, my dear child" he said, tender
ly and sadly, Il cannot tell you what it
is that affects me: at least, not now. Do
not ask me. Be happy, and do not trou-
BILE yourself about me- 1t was all he
would say and the depression which that
visit of the marquis had left on him con-
tinued to mark his manner from that
time.
Rose was anxious and uneasy. That
this sudden change had been caused by
something said or done during the time
in which he had conferred with his guest
she could not doubt. And if so, what
could that cause have been?-what was
its nature? She exhausted her magma
ton with vain endeavors to guess at the

Hugh worked as usual in the garden
and the field all the next day; he made
no allusion to the occurrences of the past
evening, and affairs went on with the
same quiet regularity as ever, at the cot
tage, without bringing any further I'M
pleasant consequence from the visit of
the marquis than what already displayed
itself in her fathers altered demeanor.
That of itself was sufficiently productive
of anxiety to Rose.
Robin made his accustomed visit at

could not divert her mind from the
thoughts of her fathers sadness, it at

THE FIREMAN'S RISK.
Investigating the Danger Due to E1ec.
trical Shock.

One of the objections to the erection
Of electric wires on poles in cities is
the hindrance which such wires Offer
to free access to burning building,
by means OF ladders and fire towers.
1t Is at times also necessary to cut
such wires to afford access to a burn.
ing building-a work which is not
highly appreciated by the fire fighters.
Another difficulty presents itself also,
namely, the danger to the firemen from
electric shocks due to current carried
10 the nozzle by the stream of water
when 1t comes in contact with live
wires. Such shocks have more than
once been Of sufficient strength to dis.
able firemen for a time, but, so far as
Is known, no fatalities due to this
cause have occurred. In order to as
certain to what extent firemen are
subject to risk of life, If at all, when
the stream of water thrown from the
hose strikes against live wires, a
series Of experiments were recently
undertaken in Germany. They were
made with pressure of 5000 volts al
ternating current, and $50 volts direct
current The stream Of water was di
rected against a portion Of the wires
from which the insulation had been
previously removed. With the 6,OOC
volts pressure 1t was found that the
resistance Of about one foot of Ordin.
airy hydrant water reduced the pOten
tial Of the current to point when II
was not dangerous, but the effects
We're not pleasant. When the resist.
ance of the water was lowered by the
addition Of O05 per cent Of soda the
minimum safe length of the stream
was increased to about forty inches.

Gus voltage was not reached with pure
hydrant water, but with the same
percentage of soda In the water harm.
volt meters used in the tests when the
stream of water was only three inches
long. On the whole, the results Of the
experiments showed that the danger
from the hose with live wires carrying
high potentials is not ordinarily SO
great as has been generally supposed
hitherto. This, however, Is no reason
for lessening the precautions looking to
the safety and best interests Of all con.
cerned in this matter.-Philadelp

SAVED THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Two huntsmen were out on a lake,
rowing. From the rushes emerged a
mallard surrounded by a brood of
tiny balls of feather and the mother
duck headed the way across an arm
of the lake. One of the observers tells
the story in Forest and Stream:
When they were too far away from
their hiding place to turn back we
closed in upon them, drawing closer
and closer; and with every stroke Of
our oars the mother bird quacked en-
couragingly to her brood to hurry
along, the little ones giving out plain
tive peeps that no doubt went deep
into the mothers heart.
Wondering whether OH our approa CHI
the mother bird would abandon her
brood, we rowed close alongside Of
her, when we could easily have dis
patched her with an oar; but with one
eye upon us and the other upon her
brood, she swan along in the lead,
simply unmindful of the danger to
herself. By this time the little ones
began to string out, until they formed
a thin, feathery peeping line behind
the mother.
There was one little fellow who
could not keep up, and who was a
yard or more behind the end of the
line, and who struggled and peeped
bravely but slowly and weakly along.
Upon him the attention of the mother
was bestowed. Her voice seemed di.
rected toward him, and her gaze, as
she turned her head, concentrated
upon him. 1t was such a sight as one
but seldom has the opportunity to wit
ness.
Allowing our boat to rest quiet, we
kept close watch on the mother, who
took the opportunity to spring clear
of the water and fly to the little one
In moment the feeble and tired
duckling was snug upon it's mothers
back, and with a gladstone quacking,
family echoed by the peeping of the
rest Of the brood, she once more led
the aquatic procession. In few mo-
ments they were within the welcome
rushes, and we saw them no more.

CHAPTER VIII.

There was a knock for admittance at
the cottage door. Hugh Lamonte started
uneasily from his chair. Every knock
every approaching footstep, of late he
imagined TO be that of the Marquis of
Montauban; for a time of restitution was
coming, and it was to cost him dear. He
hastily crossed the room, and flung the
door wide open. An angry exclamation
burst from his lips. Rose, seated by the
easement with her sewing, trembled and
turned pale: for the newcomer was Gas
parde.
Good afternoon, uncle" said the rogue,
frankly.
How. Gasparde," uttered Hugh, in in
censed establishment, and without MOTTO
ing the Standardization come you hereT'
~ have come" answered the man
quietly, assuming an expression of the
deepest seriousness, ito ask your par
don. and that of Mademoiselle Rose, for
my old behavior: and honestly hope you
will forgive me-"
Hugh looked at him, half incredulously,
and with a searching glance he stepped
back a pace, but made no answer. Gas
parde followed up the movement, and
stepped just within the door, so that he
now beheld Rose. Apprehension and an
noyance were plainly expressed on her
countenance as she beheld him. He look
ed as unprepessessing as ever, though his
words were certainly very fair.
Good afternoon, Cousin Rose" he
said, with gravity; and noticing the indi-
cation of her disposition towards him in
her countenance. he FASTENED to add,
with an air of penitence and sorrow: 20,

how used to annoy you. know do

Freak Taxes.

Freak taxes are nothing new under
the sun. In London there used to be
window tax. every householder hav-
ing to pay so much for every window
In his dwelling. In the days OF
Charles III. the British capital had a
tax on chimneys, which produced
many pound to gild the pleasures of
the merry monarch. There was the
germ Of an idea behind the chimney
tax, for London was beginning to get
smoky then, and 1t was thought that
by taxing chimneys their number
would be reduced and there would be
less smoke.

er, without working as usual, for she
could do nothing but think of her father,
and the young man, sympathizing deep
ly and earnestly with both, tried to con-
sole and cheer his fair companion with
hopeful words and soothing tones. And
Rose could not but take a sad pleasure
in listening to his words, for Robins
friendship had already become dear to
her.
