The Sewing Machine and a Dream.

ne sewing WI dCfline ana a Dream.
Washington Star: The inventor Of The
sewing machine almost hcggarcd himself
before he discovered where the eye of tlI'.
needle of 4 sewing machine should be To-
Gated.
His original idea was to follow the model
of the ordinary needle and have the eye at
the heel. 1t never occurred to him that 1t
should be placed near the point. and h"
might have failed altogether if he had
not dreamed he was building a sewing
machine 80" a savage KING in a strange
country. Just as III his actual waking
experience. he was rather pcrplcXcd about
the needles eye. HI thought the king
gave him twcnty-four hours to complete
the machine and make it sew. If not
finished in that time death was to be the
punishment.
He worked and worked and puzzled and
puzzled, and finally gave it UP. Then he
thought he was being taken out TO be exc
cut"l. He noticed that the warriors car
ried spears that We're pierced near the
head. Instantly came the solution of the
difficulty. and while the inventor was beg
f5ing for time he woke. l was 4 o clock in
the morning. He jumped out of bed, ran
to his work shop, and by a needle with
an eye at the pom: had been rudcly mod
cled After that il was easy
This IS the true story OF an important
incident in the invention of the sewing
| machine.

She looks like Eleanor"
Those few words Of Mrs. Percy had
been persistently in Reginald Mans
fields mind as Herbert Latimer had
come to him few days later with his
grievance. They We're in his mind as
the rang the bell Of the young mans
house.
Like Eleanor! Was 1t true? For an
instant, as he waited in the dim draw
ing room. he wished that he had not
come. Then curtain WAS raised and
dropped again. A slight girlish fig
ure in a straight, flowing dress ad-
vanced. Mrs. Latimer put out her
hand.
you are a good friend of my, hus-
band, I have heard of you often; I'm
very glad to see you," she said.
But Reginald stood for an instant of
one bereft of sense. Mrs. Percy was
right. Here was the same rare Ma
donna type of beauty, the same low,
broad brow, the same pathetic mouth
the same expression of the violet eyes
his heart beat fast with the sudden
ache that he had SO often hoped was
stilled.
Are you ill?' asked Lena Latimer;
startled He had already recovered
himself with an effort.
You will THINK me absurd" he said
lightly; but you look strangely like
some one 1 USED 10 KNOW.
In his agitation he forgot the OBJ
ject of his visit.
It was a warm. cloudy morning il
August. Herbert Latiner had returned
from his outing, and, to his dismay
harmed that his wife had gone on {
Yachting excursion to the Solent will
the Wentworths, a family with whom
he and his wife We're very intimate
But this was not the most importan
part Of the disclosure. Reginald
Mansfield was with the party.
This was rather too friendly OH tn
part of his old college chum.
Herbert FASTENED TO the home of Mrs
Percy, and to her he related his trou
bles.
That lady endeavored to calm him b.
such words as these:
"Oh, that yachting excursion IS al
right Mrs. Wentworth is the model
propriety. And young married Wome
must amuse themselves-even Whe
their husbands are away"
"Oh this is outrageous!" eXclaime
Herbert. "Probably you see nothin
wrong in Lena leaving London yester
day to 'amuse' herself. as you say, o
the very afternoon that she knew
would arrive?"
Mrs. Percy shrugged her shoulder:
Her visitor had turned toward tn
door.

like a wild, repressed appeal in it. Did
he read the meaning Alright? He took
off his hat.

Mrs. Latimer? l am sure that after

He nodded to Herbert. but received
on look from the latter in return.

Herbert Latimer's jealous rage and in

Herbert Lattmer loved his wife, but
he liked to occasionally cut loose from
her apron strings and enjoy himself.
About midsummer he told Lena that
he had business" in Scarborough, and
had TO go the-e-alone, of course. She
routed. and cried. and there was an ex-
G!ange of unpleasant remarks, and
Herbert eft the house. feeling very un-
happy one of the unhappiest men in
London.
An hour later at the Savoy he met
his old college chum. Reginald Mans
field, to whom he related his troubles,
and asked his advice. -.
Follow your own inclinations, old
fellow" advised Mansfield. Don't per-
nit yourself to be tyranniZed by your
wife. l am astonished at her efforts to
marriage. Go to Scarborough, and she
will 500 realize the fact that Il husband
was born to control"
This seemed sensible advice, and in
less than q week Herbert Latimer had
gone to Scarborough. He had gone
without leaving his address with his
friend Reginald Mansfield, and the lat
ter was on his way from the club to
Latiller's house to obtain it.
1t was his first visit He had been
abroad when Herbert had married, and
he had returned but a few days prior
to the conversation Just reported On

thought. She alone knew this man as
he was She alone had known closely

spoke of Reginald as a "Lothario" she

A mist had come up and lay, an i'm

prevailing neutrality of the atmo-

1t was Lena, and she was not alone
e-Herbert-could have no difficulty
in recognizing. The tall. loosely built,
nonchalant figure was that of Reginald
Mansfield.
The two had stopped now Their
backs We're turned. But, Sharpened to
abnormal acuteness, Herberts senses
could divine as it were, their mental
attitude at the moment. betrayed in
the pose of the vague. dark silhouettes.
Lena. her head bent away from her

to sea, and. as Herbert advanced rapid

became more clear in the droop of her
shoulders.
But Reginald Mansfield looked not at
