maelstrom of indecsion His day
passed in an illogical nightmare of
irresolution. Late as possible he re.

place. He was want and weary, bag

He gave his name, and stood woe

new batch of doubts and fears, while
the official turned to the rs. That
gentleman looked up suspicously after

saw Jane standing among the bound

with meat and drink. He tied his
horse at the gate and went to her side,
and oh, how fair and sweet he found
her! Never had she looked, never
had any woman looked in his eyes SO

In short time the men and women
scattered to their work, and Cluny,
turning his bright face to James, took
both her hands In his and said with
eager delight:
Dear Jane! Darling Jane! Oh,
how | love you'll"
The words came without intent.
But the heart is ready scholar when
love teaches, and as they slowly
passed through the fields of yellow
fullness, finding their happy way
among the standing sheaves, Jane
heard and understood that heavenly
tale which Cluny knew so well how to
tell her.
Not until they reached Swaffham did
they remember that they two were not
the whole round world. But words of
care and wonder and eager inquiry
about war, and rumor of war, soon
broke the heavenly trance of feeling
in which they had found an hour OF
Paradise.
So the blissful truce was over, and
Jane and Cluny were part of the
weary, warning, working world again.

The experiments that were carried
on last winter by DIR. Harvey w. Wiley
for the purpose of discovering whether
or not the so-called preservatives used
on food products in this country are
harmful are not the only experiments
that have been carried on along die
tartan lines in this country in the last
two or three years. Prof. M. e. Jaffa.
assistant professor of agriculture at
the University of California, carried on
series of experiments among fruitar-
ians, persons who live solely on fruit
and nuts and fruit or nut products.
These experiments were successful,
and information of great value was
obtained through them. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has just published
pamphlet containing some Of the
data collected by Prof. Jaffa and edit
ed by him. He says
"An investigation of the nutritive
value of fruits, instituted by the Office
of experiment stations, was under
taken at the University of California
in 10000, and dietaries of five fruitar-
ians-two women and three children
were studied. At the same time with
one of the children-a girl-a diges-
ton experiment was made in which
fruit and nuts constituted the entire
diet. A study of the income and outgo

up and kissed her friend, and in a
little while they went downstairs to-
gether, and Matilda had some boiled
milk and bread and slice of venison.
Then she asked Mrs. Swaffham to let
her have a coach to go home in.
Mrs. Swaffham kissed her for an.

such confidence of goodwill and com

Neville had asked to be called early.
and before daybreak he came into the
parlor ready for his journey. Some
broiled beef. a manchet of white bread
and black jar of spiced ale, stirred
with a rosemary branch, was waiting
Tor him; and Mrs. Swaffham and Jane

walked thus to the threshold. Snow
was falling; the steps were white

gently In their faces. Mrs. Swaffham
laughed and drew her shawl over her
head, and Neville laughed also. and
with cheerful word, leaped to his
saddle, his dark figure growing more
and more phantom-like through the
dim dawn and the white veil of the
snow. At the gate he wheeled his
horse, and, saluting them, vanished
into the gray obscurity, which made
all things as II they were not.

out her long black hair. and Jane
tried to kiss a smile into her melan-
choly face. And as she lifted her
head, she had momentary glance at
a beautiful miniature lying upon the
dressing table. The face was that of
youth with flowing locks and a fall

long Democrat, but this year he felt
that in the local election he could

Mr.. Thinkalot's friends could have

Soda sobs.

Soda Sobs.
A tear from the eye of white per
son is composed of water, salt, soda,
phosphate of soda and mucus. From
the eye of an African the elements
composing the tear are found to be
the same as in that of a white, with
the single exception of the phosphate
of soda, and with the addition OF a
slight trace of ammonia. The Eski-
mos and the Firms seldom shed tears,
but when they do chemists say they
are exceedingly salty.

chemical elements in tie Caucasian

that look like fish bones under mic

form rude cross, while the same
process of evaporation leaves the
chemicals in an Eskimo's tear in the
shape of a bow.

Frank j. Davis has improved the loop

roller skates for a bicycle. Davis has been
working on the feat for several months, but
only recently performed it with success and
confidence. He built a structure in Tomlin-
son Hall with a loop eighteen feet in diam
eter. The approach to it was thirty-two
feet high and the decent at an angle of
4215 degrees. Davis uses skates Of his own
design.
Davis says no one else has performed
this feat successfully on roller skates and
