AS he walked away down the garden

Then he glanced back ut the house
into which the others had vanished.
He laughed.
"Just fancy It," he said; Il treated

Brand sighed deeply His strong will

shrank from the ordeal before him.

"Oh, nothing" agreed Enid solemnly,
Nesting closer. Her earnestness was

which are supposed by many to be the
site of the Eden of the Old Testament,
form an archipelago of ia islands and
are situated about 1,400 miles east of

about 5000 feet above the level Of the
ocean and is nearly the center of the

utmost advantage in the various tinted

whose Immense fernlike leaves give

palms grow us high MS 100 feet or more,

Moderation In Exercise.

1t is better to be lazy than dead, and
it is probably just MS comfortable. For
obvious reasons the prescription to take
moderate exercise is misleading and
unsatisfactory. Most Of us are consti-
tutionally incapable of exercising mod
eratcly. We begin violently and end
quickly. And what is moderate cXer-
else? One philosopher who tried 1t for
twenty years arrived Mt this conclu-
sion: Keep pair of Indian clubs in
your bedroom. Look at them frequent
ly. Exercise by their suggestion"
This has the merit of moderation. 1t
Is the same rs to walking. Smell the
morning. look down the long way that
separates you from your business

The Boring Of Glass,

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means of rotating brass tubes Of
the necessary diameter, which are
filled with water during boring. To
the water there is added finely pull
verified emery. 1t is said that thinner
glass can be perforated with holes in
IN easier manner by pressing disk
of wet clay upon the glass and making
hole through the clay Of the widths
desired, so that Mt that spot the glass
is laid bare. Then molten lead is
poured into the hole, and lead and
glass drop down ut once. This method
is based upon the quick local heat
ing of the glass, whereby it obtains a
circular crack, the outline Of which cor
responds to the outline of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting of glass
tubes, cylinders. ETC., in factories is
based upon the same principle.

IIEI1UN BRAND ana inc TWO
IN girls passed silently down the
broad stairs of the hotel unac
companied by any of the 9th
ers. There was nothing Incompetent
sibie in this or any SAVIOR of dis
courtesy.
In the first place, Mr.. Trail was SO
profoundly shocked by the lighthouse
keepers revelation that he collapsed
into chair and remained there, bowed
and wordless, for many minutes. Botl
PynH and Stanhope did move toward
the door, but Enid, watchful, self sac
rificing, eager to save those she loved
from further pain, telegraphed an en-
phatic order to Stanhopc to remain
where he was, and Pyne murmured to
him:
Guess she's right, anyhow. Well all
feel n heap better in the morning"
The person who exhibited the clear
est signs of distress was Lady Marga-
ret. Her position was one of eXtraor-
binary difficulty. Three of the actors
in the breathless scene which had been
sprung on her with the suddenness of
an explosion were absolute strangers
in her life before that evening.
Brand she knew indeed, but only by
sight. She had met Constance and
Enid occasionally, at arms length, SO
to speak, regarding them truly as dan
gerous young persons where marriage
able sons We're concerned. Enid had
justified her suspicious, and her lady
ship had yielded so far as to give her
approval to an engagement she could
not prevent.
Circumstances had conspired to force
her hand. Stanhope. being an outspo-
ken young man. had made no secret of
his desperate resolve to rescue Enid. SO
the newspapers supplied the remainder
of the romance, and even Lady Marga-
ret herself had contributed to 1t under
the magnetic influence of the hour.
1t was one thing, however, to be
thrilled with the adventures of the
rock bound people, but quite another to
figure prominently In connection with
social scandal of the first magnitude.
She knew penzance too well to hope
that the incident would sink Into obliv-
ion. Obviously the matter could not
rest in its present stage. She must cx-
pect disagrceable disclosures signifl-
cant head shakings Of those who knew
little and wanted to know more. All
the tea table artillery of a small town
would be focused on her defensive po-
sition were she loyal to the girl whom
her son had chosen as his helpmate.
This same son. too, after he had re-
covered from the amaZcment of Mrs
Vansittarts dramatic departure and
Brands admission, betrayed compo
