DO you notice the gentleman sit

asked as the curtain fell.
YES" answered Jessie. raising her
eyes and looking at Blake with a
puzzled smile. why do you ask?"
That's Arthur Morris. the banker.
Would you like to meet him?"
II shall be delighted" exclaimed
Jessie. who could not resist the temp
tation.
At that instant Morris directed his
opera-glass for the first time at the
Blake box. The smile of joy when
he recognized Jessie turned to one
of blank amazement when he saw
James Blake. In response to Blake's
signal the dazed Morris was picking
his way through the crush. Blake
led Jessie to the rear OF the box.

acquainted with Miss Garden for

Jessie's laughing eyes admitted the
truth and Blake looked properly con-
fused.

said to Jessie, but you are taking

efforts were at last rewarded with the
important discovery that part of the
rays of the suns spectrum destroy

windows of the sick room. He later
found way to concentrate rays of
the ordinary electric light so as to
cure long standing cases of the dread
ed lupus or tuberculosis of the face.
II DR.. Finsen had chosen to keep
his plan of curing lupus a secret and
to employ 1t only in his private prac-
tice he could have made fortune
out of 1t, and 1t would have been
deemed professionally ethical for him
to do SO. But, inspired by the same
generosity and desire to relieve suf-
fering humanity which prompted him
to continue his Investigations at the
cost of mis- health, he made his meth
cd public. The Finsen rays are to-
day used for curing lupus and other
serious and disfiguring skin diseases

The Stratford works of the Grea,
Eastern Railway. in England, have the
record of locomotive engine built in
ten hours-a large freighter with a
tender. Before the actual construc-
ton was begun the various parts were
laid close at hand. ready for fitting to-
gether. The workmen began early in
the morning and continued until tie
breakfast bell rang. Then the par.-
ly-built engine was photographed.
After half hours rest the workmen
returned to the task and continued
til! the dinner hour. when another
photograph was taken. Thus tho
work proceeded till the engine was
completed. with the exception of n
coat OF paint. This was quickly laid
on by spraying machine, and In less
than half an hour was perfectly dry.
The locomotive was then sent on a
trial journey few miles up the line
and all proved satisfactory. SO it was
sent with baggage train. 1t has

They strolled into the conservatory.
For the first time he was alone with
Jessie Garden. and a sense OF exalted
happiness surged over him.
Blake had formulated no plan OF
campaign for the conquest of Jessie
Garden. The light of her eyes and
the radiance of her beauty were to
him as ignes fatui. and drew him on.
He talked of California and Of
Rocky Woods. but his eyes spoke
love and his deep rich voice was
tender. Fair woman is seldom blind
to the spell cast by her charms. and
1t is probable that Jessie was aware
of Blake's admiration: but she neith-
or recognized nor took advantage
of II.
Though he knew that the odds
were overwhelmingly against him.
and that one false step meant ire
trievable defeat. he shut his eyes to
the perils which encompassed him.
He knew the risk he ran in appear
ing In public with Jessie Garden. but
he did not hesitate to secure q box
for the Booth performance.
There were four In the theater
party-the general and Edith, Blake
and Jessie Garden. Blake escorted
Jessie to the front OF the box and
took his place by her side. The
boxes were thronged with fair wom-
en-, but all eyes were turned on Jes-
sic Garden and her handsome escort
She had been absent from New York
for two years. and only a few recog-
nized her. James Blake was even
less known, though his name had
been made familiar by the name OF
Wall street achievements with which
he was publicly identified.
The first act was nearly over when
a thick-set young man. with a soft.
fiorid face. sauntered into the box
directly across the orchestra from
Blake and Jessie. Both recognized
the newcomer as Arthur Morris. and
both felt secret JOY that he was
present Like fash the thought
came to Blake that. by means of his

Blake carelessly glanced over a
newspaper. With a yawn he was
abou. to lay the paper aside, when he
noticed headline descriptive of the
Booth performance of the preceding
evening. 1t was a long article. but
Blake was so engrossed in its reading
that he paid no attention to the
Wallets announcement that his bath
was ready.
To the AFFECT establishment of that
trained and sedate servant, Blake
gave a cry OF terror and sprang from

NO MORE SOUVENIRS
Nuns Forbidden to Sell the Pope's Old
Clothes,

The Vatican authorities have for
hidden the nuns of the Order of Repa-
ration to dispose of the pope's dis
carded clothing. Those sisters attend
to Plus KS washing and mending and
they were in the habit Of selling dis
carded articles for the benefit of their
order. Even the buttons from the
papal cassock, neatly sewn on an ele-
CANT piece of cardboard, with an ap-
propriate inscription, formed material
for the trade, which included hosiery
and pieces of the most valuable wear
ing apparel. Each article was marked
with the monastery seal. Many visi
tors to Rome have thus been enabled
to take home personal souvenirs of the
pope, which are treasured by Catholics
as precious.
