Stetson read the advertisement for a
second time. 1t was seldom that he
read Tie personal column. usually
plungng straight into the financial
news. but this morning Eodds had
chatted with him until he was almost
at his destination, aud his eye fell idly
upon the column.
"Will the gentleman who saved the
life of II young woman ut Central
square yesterday afternoon please
send his address to Grateful, box 512|
He closed his eyes and with mental
vision he could see il all again the
automobile. the trolley car which pre-
vented escape and. above all, the
piuuant little face lying limp against
his shoulder For II moment he was
tempted To answer tile advertisement,
Twice during the day lie penned II
note TO Grateful" but each time lie
tore il up in disgust. II seemed Il
pretty poor trick to be sending his ad-
dress that he might be thanked He
would like 10 look into those blue eyes
again when they were not dllated with
terror, but he must wait for some other
opportunity
The next morning the advertisement
was repeated. lie knew. because he
turned TO the column the first thing.
He smiled grimly as he thought of the
temptation of the day before. They
could advertise until doomsday, but
they would get no answer from him.
1t was almost with apprehension that
he looked the third day. but his mild
curiosity was changed to Indignation.
This time the personal read:
"Will the gentleman who saved the
life of young woman at Central
square Monday afternoon kindly re-
turn her watch. and no questions will
be asked? Grateful, box 512.''
This, then. was why she had adver
tised for his address. She believed
that during the excitement he had rob
bed her of her watch. And all the
dreams he had dreamed in the past
two days Of those blue eyes brimming
with gratitude looking into his were
but idle visions! He was sorry he had
seen the advertisement He probably
never would see the girl. but it had
been pleasant to believe that he had
saved her.
He hoped now that he would never
see her again. Several times in the

Every one, young and old, has
heard of the hanging gardens of
Babylon, but few persons perhaps
know how they were constructed.
They were about four acres in ex-
tent and were built on a base sup
ported by pillars. They rose in ter
races to ii height of 800 feet, and
it is said that they looked from a
distance like great pyramid cover
ed with trees. Strange to say, they
owed their existence to the whim of
a woman, Queen Amytis, who grew
so tired Of the plains of Babylon
and pincd SO much for the hills of
her native Media that her husband,
King Nebuchadnczzar, had the gar
dens built to please her.

The Little Darling.

Some flowers are universal favor
ties. of these the mignonette is
one. Its original home was north
Africa, from which it found its way
to Italy and then to Paris. Here
Lord Batemau met it in 1742 and,
being enamored of it, brought
some seeds to England, where he
was thus its introduccr. Delighted
with its unassuming look and choice
fragrance, lie called it mignonette,
OF little darling" The strange
thing is that, though this word is
French, the plant is not known by it
in France. In that country it is
styled lie Rcseda odorant, which is
merely the French translation of its
scientific name, Rcseda odorata.

A Clever Trick.

Half fill glass with pure clear
water. Drop into the water the new
est, brightest twenty-five cent piece
you can find and cover the top of
the glass with plate.
Then invert the combination so
that the glass stands upside down
in the plate. Do this as quickly and
as deftly as possible, SO that the wa
ter may not escape from the glass.
Here is where the mystery comes
in: A twenty-five cent piece appears
to be floating on top of the water,
while another one seems to be rest
ing on the bottom in the plate. In
place of one piece of money it looks
as if you had two.
The illusion is caused by the phe-
nomenon known as the refraction of
light.

TmE rLANrING oF rnn rREE.

Al this season of the year many OF
our readers contemplate the planting
OF trees for shade and ornamental pur-
poses. For this purpose the selection
OF varieties Is an important matter
The best shade tree in America Is the
water elm, this followed closely by the
hard maple, the Eastwood or linden,
blackberry and white ash. In trans
planting the tree the top should be cut
back to correspond with a depleted
root system. The tree should be set
somewhat deeper than II grew In its
EatlYe location and should be heavily
mulched the first year TO insure its
proper growth. In the case OF the elm
better results are obtained by cutting
back tree three or four inches through
At the base than by transplanting a
younger tree.

instead of throwing out skull the

but he determined to 90 ahead with
his lines, and when about halfway

MARINE. NOISE MAKERS.
Tin Horns, Mechanical Fog Horns
and Other Modern Con-
trivarces.

Tin horns, such as vendors bring out
by the wagon load In the citys streets
on election night, are stock articles Of
sale the year around in the stores OF
dealers in marine supplies, says the
New York Sun.
Thousands Of tin horns Of various
sizes are annually sold TO fishermen,
oystermen and men using boats, in many
waters, In various pursuits, and such
horns are sold, as we'll, for boats used
for pleasure. A big horn Of this kind
might be heard a mile.
For larger vessels. such as schooners
sailing In open water and not equipped
with power with which to blow whistles.
there are provided mechanical fog horns
that can be operated by hand, and that
can be heard three or four miles away.
With the multiplication everywhere
within recent years OF pleasure craft
there have been introduced still other
sorts of noise makers. One Of these is 4
bellows horn, with the horn attached
to the top board Of trimly-fnlshed
bellows Of oblong shape, to the top
board Of which also is attached handle.
This bellows horn can be put down any
where and operated simply by pressure.
Though not as big as the mechanical fog
horn It can be heard for a considerable
distance
A still smaller bellows noise maker
has In place Of horn an air whistle,
Another whistle contriyance has
small upright metal cylinder in which
air Is compressed by means of handle
worked like plunger The whistle.
which may be one OF single tone. or
chime, Is attached to the outside Of tho
cylinder
Still another modern noise maker Is
an air-b.own whistle with light con-
trivanCe attached When the whistle
cord Is pulled the light shows as the
whistle blows Obviously the light at
tachment is for use at night to locate the
boat from which the whistle is blowing.
While these later sound producers. de-
signed more especially for yachts and
launches and tenders and other pleas
ure craft, are rather more elaborate,
they are used for precisely the same
purposes as the old tin horn. namely. 10
