upon her in the evening. but he did not
come, and she shed tears of disappoint-

The next morning as soon as she
reached the office she telephoned vainly
to the hotel. Then she sat idle for near
ly two hours. Neither Harburg nor
Wrenn had appeared. but the former

ately called for Carol He was in an
excellent humor, and his conversation

the man attempted no more compli-

he at last. There's rather delicate

could follow her to the ship. She left

New Sugar Making Process.

Thomas Wommack. a prominent
planter of East Baton Rogue parish, in
New Orleans, has discovered a process
for making sugar which promises 10
revolutionize the industry in Louisiana,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Mr.. Wommack declines to divulge his
secret until he has secured patent,
but he says the process converts the
whole product from the ordinary sirnp
into first sugars, with only small per
centage of the residue in the shape Of
a black kind of glucose, with scarcely
a trace of sucrose in it and as hard as
a brick. He brought samples of this
residue product to the Sugar Exchange
for chemical examination. AS an evil
dence of the success of his discovery
every pound of sugar made by him this
season is clear white tirsts.

THE BICYCLE FOR 1909.
Chainless Coaster Brake With Change
able Gear the New Model.

Wheelmen generally will be glad to
know that the new models III bicycles
for this year show a decided all around
improvement, says the New York
Tribune. This wheel is not only
chainless coaster brake, but it possesses
still another advantage in that 1t has
changeable gear, something long
sought for by riders and manufacture
ers on both sides Of the Atlantic.
The new models are arranged in
three styles, the low gear being 68 In
each instance, and the high gears being
80, 81 or 101. The new mechanism Is
contained in the rear hub and is said
to be simple and not likely to get out of
order. When the rider using, say,
101 gear on the level or in going down
hill, comes to an incline and wishes to
reduce his gear to 6S. all he has to do
is to give slight pressure on the pedal
and the gear is reduced. When the
coaster brake is wanted the pressure on
the pedal Is made more pronounced.
While 1t is admitted that high gears
are much in favor, the fact that wheels

There is an entire lack of cOrdiality to-

any suggestion TO make to the govern
ment there, l would perhaps advise
less attention to the military depart

this time great deal Of energy has
been devoted to the organization Of the

the future of Cuba depends upon the
development Of its agricultural IT

With the numerous instances OF

art which they have collected at the

It is a wise collector who is certain

Ore piece of the swindlers' work Is
the making of artificial moth holes in
a chair of the pattern used several
ceS.uries since. 1t Is a good imita-
ton, and has been dilapidated purpose
ly, piece being missing from the
back. 1t only requires few dozen
moth holes to complete its ancestral
half appearance. These are provided
by means Of tool like an awl. with
five steel points. Held over a likely
part, a smart tap of wooden mallet
sends the points, made to the exact
size Of a moth hole, into the wood.
This process Is repeated as many
times as necessary. Then the moth
holes are treated to slight applica-
ton Of candle fame. which darkens
the holes inside to the required tint.
