A startling and artistic effect is
produced in the manner of labelling
the different varieties of apples in the
Horticulture Building at the Worlds
Fair. For example, the words 1.-The
Spy" appear on the cheeks of the ap-
pies of hat variety in dainty yellow
tint. This was produced while the
fruit was on the tree, and before it
began to color, the fruit grower cut
from paper the letters and pasted
them on the apple. The sun brought
out the color Of the apple on eyerv
part not covered by the paper letters.

but she knelt there on the sand her
heart wept, cried out very softly, and She
prayed.
Then. hurrying IN the twilight, she al
most ran down to the post office. 1t was
the night when news should come from the
photographic Office, and her heart jumped
a little as the postmaster passed out the
envelope with the imprint of the office.
This, she presumed, would hold an answer
to the last careful stiff-iingered note she
had sent. asking them TO acquaint her the
moment news should reach them of the
sighting of the Lydia Skolfeld, derelict
All her hopes were centered now in the
finding of that hulk. The Lydia had ceas-
ed to interest her as a ship-she had be-
come the easket which held the magic key
to happiness-the diamonds that would
make it possible for Parton to stay away
from Africa, and news of her must come
through this Office in Washington.
She hurried off desperately to her little
retreat among the pines and tore the letter
open. She scarcely dared to look at 1t.
Her hands trembled as she held it.
At last she slowly turned her gaze and
deciphered in the fading light the heading
of the Office, the date, the words Dear
Madame"
She gave one helpless look up at the fad
ing brilliance OF the sky, which in its
dropping seemed to plead humbly with the
sea 1t surveyed for an instant. Then. with
hands shaking jerlsily and with eyes strain

In no country is William Morris golden
rule, "Have nothing about you but what
you know to be useful and believe to be
beautiful so scrupulously followed as in
Japan. The politeness of the Japanese
sign of ''equality'-the ,politeness of this
hierarchical east is in surprising contrast
with the aggressive rudeness of our demo-
cratic communities. Gentleness, cordiality,
are the Japanese rule. No scenes of Vio-
lence. The readiness with which Europeans
fly into "a passion Supplies the japanese, ap-
pears to them to be a sign of innate coarse
ness. In his consideration for others Jap
anese habitually refrains from making any
show of his personal sorrows. Only her
vanity has led Europe to fancy that the
japanese regard western civilization as SUI
perior to their own, and that therefore they
are "Europeanizing" themselves purposely.
The western diplomatist who described
modern Japan as a bad translation OF
Europe merely shared the delusion and
conceit of foreigners generally.

CHAPTER XIII.

Book of The Lyddy.
Mrs Burgess walk toward the post Of
flee was as little pleasant as any she had
ever made across the Cape Cod sand. She
loved this sand, but that afternoon it SEEM
ed very hard to tramp through. She loved
the little pines that struggled on It's dunes,
but that afternoon they seemed like stunted
symbols of dead hopes. At the summit of
the little hill whence she waved her fare
we'll back to the group upon the porch she
could see salt water stretching both to east
and west. She loved the sea, but that after
noon it had heartless glitter:
"Drat your she said, and both words
left her lips italcised.
"Drat your she said again. You're
greedy like a six months child, you ale.
'Tain't as If the things could be any use
to you. If they was pretty things that you

waves look nice, 1 wouldn't care SO much.

any chance to even try to shine. And ny
a-keepin' em you're robin me-you're rob-
bin me of what I've longed for all my
life"
Mrs. Burgee stopped and stamped her
foot there in the sand. She looked around
her cautiously. Then she went-with many
glanceS around to see that she was unob-
served-a little distance into the dwarf for
est of scrub pine.
And there, in the sad silence of the little
solitude-a silence emphasized by the con-
slant moaning Of the sea and the dead rat
ting of the sorry limbs above her-she
threw herself upon the sand and wept
She had taken the young people to her
heart with that fierce mother love which

Mrs. Craigie's Bachelor Quarters.

From NJ. A. p. 1'3
Unlike many of her sex who write, Mrs
Craigie is methodical in her work Every
chapter, every detail of her story, is care
fully thought out before she puts pen to
paper, and then the story moves swiftly
and surely to its appointed end. While
much of her time is spent at Ventnor. she
likes town, but the difficulty Is to find quiet
and freedom from intruders. At last she
has solved the problem. I am not allowed
to disclose the secret of her new retreat
but | may hint at it. By special DISPENSE
ton she has been allowed to take up quar-
tiers in precincts usually regarded as sacred
to bachelordom. The clue is that from
these chambers very distinguished author
of former generation wrote to his wife
that he was 'alone with solitude and
when the anxious lady hurried to console
her lonely spouse she found that solitude

ting on her husbands knee-the mink!

closures had so far been most unsatisfac-
tory. They had ever read as follows:
THE United States photographic office
regrets that 1t has received no word that
any vessel has sighted derelict barkentine
answering to the description of the Lydia
Skolfeld.'
She noticed that they were always signed
with a rubber stamp, and wondered II the
hands that pressed 1t to the paper had any
notion of the misery it's message took to
her. She had torn each of the notices to
small bits and carefully buried them deep
in the Cape Cod sands In her heart only
was there any hope that the Lydia still
foated, and she spoke it to none of those
seated at home.
AS she started out this night she resolved
that If she found no news she would aban-
don hoping, too. She planned little cere-
mony which should take place as she re-
turned along the road and inferred the
scraps of the official notice. She felt de-
pressed and gloomy but as she passed down
the graveled path between the solemn rows
of box plants, she turned and bravely
smiled.

that sin was generally to be at

more mental gloom than any

can reckon up the fearful aggre-

which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
