@HE necessary formalities of de-
 parture were speedily got through. The passing of the o corridors. the gaining of the carriage. seemed to Loder to be mar velously simple proceedings. Then. as he sat by Eyes side and again felt the forward movement of the horses, he had leisure for the first time to won der whether the time that had passed since last he occupied that position had actually been lived through.
 Only that night he had unconscious ly compared one incident in his life to a sketch in which the lights and shad- ows nave been obliterated and lost. Now that picture rose before him, startlingly and incredibly intact. He saw the sunlit houses of Santasalare. backgrounded by the sunlit hills-saw them as plainly as when he himself had sketched them on his memory. Every detail of the scene remained the same. even to the central figure: only the eye and the hand of the artist had changed.
 At this point Eve broke in upon. his thoughts. Her first words were cSri- ously colncidentaL
 What did you think of Lillian As frupp tonight?" she asked Wasn't her gown perfectr'
 Loder lifted his head with an almost guilty start. Then he answered straight from his thoughts.
 Fl didn't notice it." he said. but her eyes reminded me of a cats eyes and she walks like a cat I never seemed to sec it-until tonight
 Eve changed her position She was yery artistic she said tentatively. Don't you think the gold gown was beautiful with her pale cOlored hairY'
 Lcder felt surprised He was con vineed that Eve disIiked the other. and he was not sufficiently veTSed i1 women to understand her praise T thought-- he began Then he wisely stopped. T didn't see the gown he substituted
 Eve looked out of the window. How unappreciative men are- she said But her tone was strangely free from cs7- sure

ngnts were nicely auJus,e., even the chairs were in their accustomed places. Loders senses responded to each sug- gestion. It seemed but a day since he had seen it last. It was precisely as he had left 1.-the niche needing but the man.
 To hide his emotion he crossed tho floor quickly and drew a chair for. ward. In less than six hours he had run up and down the scale of emotions. He had looked despair in the face till the sudden sight of Chilcote had lifted him to the skies; since then surprise had assailed him in its strongest form; he had known the full meaning of the word risk" and from every contin- gency be had come out conqueror. He bent over the chair as he palled it for ward to hide the expression in his eyes.
 "Sit down." he said gently.
 Eve moved toward him. She moved slowly. as if half afraid. Many emo tions stirred hcr-distrust. uncertainty and curious half dominant, half sup pressed questioning that 1t was dinicult to define. Loder remembered her shrinking coldness. her reluctant toler- ance on the night of his first coming. and his individuality. his certainty of power. kindled afresh. Never had he been so vehemently himself: never had Chilcote seemed SO complete shadow.
 As Eve seated herself he moved for ward and leaned over the back of his chair. The impulse that had filled him in his interview with Renwick, that had goaded him as he drove to the re- ception. was dominant again.
 "I tried to say something as we drove to the Bramfells' tonight" he began. Like many men who possess eloquence for an impersonal cause. he was brusaue. even blunt. in the stating of bis own case. May l hark back. and % on from where broke offT'
 Eve half turned. Her face was still puzzled and questioning. '-Of course" She sat forward again. ciasping her hands
 He looked thoughtfully at the back of her head. at the slim outline of her shoulders. the glitter of the diamonds about her neck.

 ~Yes. I renenher.- she said

second her glance faltered and she looked away. "A woman's-a Alrl's- disillusioning is very sad comedy-it should never have an audience" She laughed little bitterly as she looked back again. T saw all the deceits, all the subterfuges, all the-lies." She said the word deliberately, meeting his eyes.
 Again he thought of Chilcote, but h' face paled. 4
 'I saw it all lived with 1t al dli I grew hspd and indifferent-till ac- quiesced in your nerves as res fly as the rest of the world that hs At sus- pected and didn't know" again she laughed nervously. And I thought the indifference would last forever. If one lives in a groove for years, one gets frozen up. I never felt more frozen than on the night Mir. Fraide spoke to me of you-asked me to use my influ- encs; then, on that night
 "Yes. On that nightY' Loder's voice was tense.
 But her excitement had suddenly fall en. Whether his glance had quelled 1t or whether the force of her feelings had worked itself out 1t was impossi- ble to say. but her eyes had lost their resolution. She stood hesitating for . moment. then she turned and moved to the mantelpiece.
 That night you found me changedT Loder was insistent.
 .Changed-and yet not changed" She spoke reluctantly, with averted head.
 And what did you thinkT
 Again she was silent. Then again . faint excitement tinged her cheeks.
 'I thought she began Tt seem ed"- Once more she paused. hamper ed by her own uncertainty. her own sense of puzzlIng incongruity.

"All men have their lapses." he went on. "There are times-there are days and weeks when I-when my The word nerves" touched his tongue, hung upon it, then died away un. spoken.
 Very quietly, almost without a sound, Eve had risen and turned to. ward him. She was standing very straight, her face little pale, the hand that rested on the arm of her chair trembling slightly.
 "John," she said quickly. don't say that word! Don't say that hideous word .nervesr I don't feel that can bear 1t tonight-not just tonight Can you understand7"
 Loder stepped back. Without com pretending. he felt suddenly and strangely at loss. Something in her face struck him silent and perpfexed. It seemed that without preparation he had stepped upon dangerous ground. With an undenned apprehension, he waited, looking at her.

 Locer turned aside. He was afraid of the triumph. volcanic and irrepres- sible. that her admission reused

 He turned slowly back. You forget that I'm not a magician he said gently. T hardly know what you are speaking of"
 For a moment she was silent. but in that moment her eyes spoke. Pain. distress. pride. all strove for expresl sion: then at last her lips parted
 Do you say that in seriousnessT she asked.
 It was no moment for fencing. and Loder knew it -In seriousness" he replied shortly.
 Then I shall speak seriously too Her voice shook slightly and the color came back into her face. but the hand on the arm of the chair ceased to trem- ble- For more than four years I have known that you take druxs-for more than four yezrs have acuuiesced in your deceptions. in your meal nesses--

 There was silence when he had spoken, and for space it seemed that Eve would make no response. Then the last surprise in day of surprises came to him. With a slight stir, [ slight, quick rustic of skirts. she step ped forward and laid her hand In hIs.
 The gesture was simple and very sweet. Her eyes were soft and full of light as she raised her face to his, her lips parted in unconscious appeal.

The Magic of a Mirror.

A ward patient in Roosevelt hospital New York, grew gradually weaker without any apparent reason. "She's fretting herself to death about some thing" said the nurse. If she would confide in me l think she would get better" By and by the patient did open her mind and heart If I could only see myself" she walled, "1'd feel different. l know I must look like death or you'd let me have a looking glass" It was against the rules to sup ply patients in that ward with mirrors but the nurse. recognizing the gravity of that particular case, smuggled in a small hand glass. The result was mi raculous. Why, dear me-" said the sick woman, "I don't look half so bad as supposed I did" And from that hour she began to improve

the pistols Mrs Fairgraves had cap tured from one of the robbers. After the ruffians were placed in jail the nervy woman formed and headed posse which drove from the town the twelve companions of the men she had just arrested.
 The desperadoes, fifteen strong, cap- tured the town on Saturday, disarmed the only policeman and started on a campaign of robbery and pillage. The men were so completely terrorized that they did nothing to protect themselves. A dozen men were robbed in the main streets and several of the stores were footed in the day time. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon Wagner's saloon was held up and fifteen men forced to range themselves against the wall and deliver their property Other rob berries were committed.
 At midnight three desperadoes en- tered Fairgraves' saloon with drawn revolvers and forced the men within to stand in line. Mrs. Fairgraves, who lives above the saloon, heard the noise, seized revolver and started down. stairs. Just as she entered a side door one of the robbers had struck one of the victims in the head with the butt end of his pistol. Before he saw the newcomer Mrs. Fairgraves had pressed the muzzle of her gun against his tenn pie and said, Hand that gun over or I'll blow your head off"
 Without a word the pistol was hand ed over, and before the other two rob- bers recovered Mrs. Fairgraves cov- cred them with a pistol in each hand and forced them to throw up their hands. Then. with the assistance of the men in the room, all three desper- adoes were bound and taken to jail. The three robbers who were arrested were taken to Des Moines for safe keeping.

Burned at the Stake.

As late as the end of the eighteenth century counterfeiters were publicly burned at the stake in London On March 1S 17S9, Christianie Murphy was executed at Newgate tower, Lon don, for the crime of "coinlng" She was bound to the stake seated on a stool the main tie being cord around the neck. The funeral pyre was then lighted by the executioner and his dep uties, one of the latter of whom finally jerked the stool from under the wretch ed creature, allowing the weight to fall on her neck. Within forty-eight min utes the body was entirely reduced to ashes and buried in a hole on the spot where the execution took place.

These silks were costly, and Wulf turned to the prior to borrow money, but he had no more upon him. Geor- gios said, however, that it mattered nothing, as he would take guide from the town and bring tie wine ill person, when he could receive payment for the broderes, of which he hoped to sell more to the ladies of the house.
 Then the pair of them departed, well pleased with their purchases and the Cypriote Georgios, whom they found a very pleasant merchant.

The Unit of Heat.

We cannot, of course, measure heat by yards, pints or pounds, but the unit of heat, the standard measure of that phenomenon, has been agreed upon by those whose business it is to philoso. phize on that subject to be that quan tity which can raise pound of water one degree. Now, to turn a pound of water into pound of steam 1t requires o67 of these units of heat-that is to say, if we boil pound of water until it all goes away in steam we shall have used in doing so quantity of heat which would have raised 9G7 pounds of water one degree higher in tempera- ture

Cuts On Girl. Leg In Ambulance.

In desperate effort to save child's life New York ambulance sur geon amputated four-year-old girls crushed leg while driving at breakneck speed to the Lebanon hospital.

With his shirt sleeves rolled up, the surgeon knelt on the floor of the lunging ambulance and amputated the leg. which hung by shred, septicising and binding the wound The driver made a record run, but when the am bulance was within a block of the hos pital the surgeon had finished his worl. and assisted in carrying the little girl to the operating table

Steinmetz, fireman. were bringing the Big Four fast train from Cleveland recently Hugo thought he saw some thing on tke pilot of the engine as he was passing New London. The train makes no stop there. Peering through the darkness the men in the cab were astounded to see a small boy chamber up from the pilot, over the steam chest to the running board and, holding weakly to the hand rail, shufle along toward the cab. He proved to be Abel Miller. aged ten years, who had taken that method of getting away to see the world. He was returned to his home by next train after being warm
