and hand was laid on the latch.
George: George Buckley! What's
the matter in there? Killing rats, old
man?' 1t was Bob Hanks voice.
1t was the signal for flight. The man
who had gone for the tools could be
heard unbarring the door in the rear.
The two in the Office tiptoed out into
the warehouse, and then, seeing the
door open. panic seized them, and they
ran for their lives Bob Hanks heard
them, and, having had no reply to his
question, he suspected foul play and
darted at once round the warehouse
toward the back end. He was just in
time to see three figures running at
the top of their speed down the rail-
way. He pulled his revolver and fired
an Intellectual shot after them. With
the weapon in his hand he entered the
open door and CROPPED toward the light
in the office, calling loudly for Buck

George stretched upon the floor. Turn
ing him over, he saw the wound in his
head and hastily felt his heart.

MAHOGANY WOOD.
Ehe Way 1T Came to Be Used In the
Making of Furniture.

Chippendale owes his reputation to
the fact that he published a book of
designs with over 200 copperplate
engravings, so that today any one who
wishes may get them and reproduce
them exactly or with such changes
and improvements as suit his fancy.
That they are capable Of Improvement
Chippendale himself was the first to
declare Chippendale was one Of the
first makers Of mahogany furniture.
Before his time this precious wood was
valued only for the medicinal qualities
it was supposed to possess.
The idea Of making furniture of ma
hogany wood appears to have been the
result Of chance. a certain physician
in London had great many mahogany
planks, and, wanting candle box, he
sent for cabinetmakHr and instructed
him to use the mahogany for the re-
quired article of furniture. The man
objected that the wood was too hard
for his tools, and the doctor told him
| to get harder tools. The man did so,
and when the doctor saw tie box he
was amazed at it's beauty. Patients
and friends talked about it, and at last
| the Duchess Of Buckingham came to
/ see it. She was enraptured and per-
/ suaded the doctor to give her wood for
similar box. AS a result mahogany
! got to be the fashion.

HORSEPOWER.
The Unit as 1t Was Originated and
Defined by Watt.

When steam engines We're employed
to drive mills, pumps and other ma
chinery which had been previously
driven by horses, it was natural to at
tempt to express the work done by
them IN terms Of the working power
of tie horse.
james Watt was, the first to define
the unit of horsepower, which by ex-
pertinent he found to be $4,000 foot
pounds a minute In other words, a
one horsepower engine would raise
$4,000 pounds one foot every minute,
and so on proportionally to the number
Of 'horsepowers" indicated by the en-
CINE.
He arrived at this conclusion by OBJ
serving the work done by heavy dray
horses in breweries working eight
hours daily and found that a horse go,
ing at the rate of two miles and half
an hour could raise q weight of 15O
pounds by rope led over pulley,
which is equal to $4,000 pounds raised
one foot in one minute.
Watt, for the credit of his engines
selected horses of more than average
power.

This legend was generally accepted.
