revealed the dawning Of that two edged
bliss which makes heaven or hell
of earth-of earth, which owes its very
existence to love.
I do not mean that Mary was In love,
but that she had met and for the first
time felt the touch, yes, even the SUBJ
tie, unconscious, dominating force 30
sweet to woman. Of the man she could
love, and had known the rarest throb
that pulses in that choicest Of all Gods
perfect handiwork-a woman's heart
the throb that goes before, the John
the Baptist, as it were. Of coming love.
It being after midnight, Mary filed
two cups Of wine, from each Of which
she took sip, and banded them to
Brandon and me. She then paid me
the 10 crowns. very soberly thanked US
and said we were at liberty to 60.
The only words Brandon ever spoke
concerning that evening were just as
we retired:

the new dance. and saw Mary busily

"You have greatly pleased the king

Powerful Sunbsams.

The sunbeam's visible dust particles
have taught a lesson to scientists, and
the result Is an instrument far beyond
the microscope In power. What this
will mean in the study Of germs Of dis
ease and as an aid to the medical
world can hardly be calculated.
Profs. Siedentopf and zsismondy. Of
Jena University, are the discoverers OF
the new method Of microscopic obser-
vation whereby ultramicroscopic par
ticles are not only made visible, but
can also be studied with view to de-
termining their size. A full descrip-
ton is published in the German scien-
tif1c journal, Annalen der Physik
The method consists mainly in q
powerful artificial illumination Of the
particles to be observed. These parti-
cles, because Of their minuteness, ex-
ert no material influence upon the vi
bratory period Of the light waves,
and hence appear to the observer as
self illuminating, or luminous objects.
by virtue of their reflected light. Since.
however, the reflected light is weaker
than the original Illuminating beam,
it is necessary in order to secure the
advantages Of an intensified illumina-
ton Of the particles. to employ the
principle Of dark field illumination.
The principle involved in this new
method Is well illustrated by the COM
mon phenomena Of the visible sun
beam" in darkened room which is
penetrated by a ray Of Hight. Dust
particles In the path Of the ray. hith-
erto invisible, become visible when the
eye Of the observer II at right angles
to the direction Of the penetrating ray.
.Helmholtz, the greatest physicist hv-
ing at the time the microscope now In
use wos perfected, declared the limit OF
microscopic perception to be 1-2s,o0o
Of an inch. This new instrument Will
make possible the study Of bodies seven
to ten times smaller.-Chicaso Tr-

CHAPTER V-CoNT1NUED.
We now had some songs from Mary
and Jane; then l gave one, and Bran
don sang again at Mary's request We
had duets and quartets and solos, and
the songs were all sweet, for they came
from the heart of youth and went to
the soul Of youth. rich in its God given
fresh delight In everything. Then we
talked. and Mary and Jane. too, with a
sly, shy, soft little word now and then,
drew Brandon out to tell Of his travels
and adventures. He was a pleasing
talker and had a smooth. easy flow OF
words, speaking always in low, clear
voice and with perfect composure. He
had a way Of looking first one auditor
and then another straight in the eyes
with q magnetic effect that gave to
everything he said an added interest.
Although at that time less than twenty
five years old. he was really learned
man, having studied at Barcelona, Sal
amanca and Paris. While there had
been no system in his education, his
mind was a sort Of knowledge j1nkshop
wherein he could find almost anything
he wanted. He spoke German. French
and Spanish and seemed to know the
literature Of all these languages.
He told US he had left home at the
early age Of sixteen as his uncle's es-
quire and had fought in France, then
down In Holland with the Dutch, had
been captured by the Spanish and had
Joined the Spanish army, as it mattered
not where he fought 30 that there was
q chance for honorable achievement
and q fair ransom now and then. He
told us how he had gone to Barcelona
and Salamanca, where he had studied.
and thence to Granada. among the
Moors; Of his fighting against the pi-
rates Of Barbary, his capture by them,
his slavery and adventurous escape
and his regret that now drowsy peace
kept him mewed up in palace.
