DO ye,u suppose the Rajah dictated

1t was only the misguided zeal of some
understrapper. OF course. word has

81. thought you might have left out
the fist part of 1t; also that you
might have made the latter half a

lighted another cigarette.

What brought them here?"
Adams spread his hands.
What makes any woman do pre-
cisely the most unexpected thing?
You'll have to go back OF me-say to
Confucius or beyond-to find that

Winton was silent for a moment,
balancing his spoon on the tip OF his
finger. Finally he said; IL hope you

The Ace of Lead.

we are wont to speak or this era
as the "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that. industrially speaking,
iron is a precious metal"
Nevertheless. few people realize
how useful, IL not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, 1t is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing. requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
'slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds OF machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course. there are many limitations OF
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing OF fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead. being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron.
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age Of lead
as well as of iron.

Adams, and after making a round OF

Waterman keep a sharp lookout
against possible night surprise, he
set out to walk over the newly laid
track of the day.
Another half-hour had elapsed, and
waning moon was clearing the top
most crags Of Pacific Peak when he
came out on the high embankment OPP
posite the Rosemary.
The station with it's two one-car
trains, and the shacks of the little
mining camp beyond, lay shimmering
ghost-like in the newborn light of the
moon. The engine of the sheriff's car
was humming softly with a note like
the distant swarming of bees, and
from the dance hall in Argentine the
snort of trombone and the tinkling
clang of a cracked piano fioated out
upon the frosty night air.
Winton turned to go back. The
windows of the Rosemary were all
dark, and there was nothing to stay
for. So he thought, at all events; but
ii he had not been musing distracted
ly upon things widely separated from
his present surroundings, he might
have remarked two tiny stars of Ian
tern light high on the placer ground
above the embankment; or, failing
the sight, he might have heard the
dull, measured slumph of churn-drill
burrowing deep in the frozen earth OF
the slope.
AS 1t was, pair of brown eyes
blinded him, and the tones of voice
sweeter than the songs of Oberon's

Lincoln as a LAWYER.

the other day in Philadelphia story
OF the astuteness Of Lincoln as a
lawyer.

he said, he had a case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, retired paper manufactur.

his wealth and probity.

will, please hold that paper up to

the short cut across the mouth of the

mighty explosion trembled upon the
still air, followed instantly by a sound
of passing avalanche.
Winton was out and running up the
track before the camp was fairly
aroused. What he saw when he
gained the hither side of the lateral

man weep. A huge landslide, starting
from the frozen placer ground high
up on the western promontory, had
swept every vestige of track and en-
