she crossed tho path of the strug- gling playwright. Some deop chord in her nature drew her to him as the needle to the north. She was an occa- sional helper for Mrs Simpson, who kept the cheap boarding house where he lived. She entered his life as ray of sunshine At the lowest ebb and hope and cheer. She laughed Rt the hopeless clouds which overhung. and she believed in him and his aspir- ations. Recognizing sympathetic spirit his starved nature unfolded un- der the warmth of her appreciation. and he discovered to her depths and shoals and angles whieh other persons ever had seen or suspected.
 As she beheld these revelations great awe and a great love entered her heart and soul. She saw his great and heroic soul naked and free from the sordid limitations of his life. and she bowed down ld worshipped with the devotion given only to women or her type And under the spell or her appreciation and understanding, the shackIes dropped away from him ana his genius held full sway.
 All this involved many weary months and when he realized fully the great love he bore the blithesome lass. the great Joy of the discovery turned at once into the sharpest pain as ne real ized the hopelessness of his passion How was he, who could scarcely keep his own body and soul together nope to care for another and to assume the responsibilities of a family?
 But she never despatred. For her always was the golden day In sight when his genius would he recognized and their dreams be realized.
 One day the world was startled with a new and great play. It was drama which touched all the chords of human nature and inspired laughter and tears alike It lifted every auditor to the heights of Ideality and carried him to the depths of human woe. There was no false note and all the world paus- ed to pay tribute to the perfection or the piece.
 And up and down the land the critics asked, "Who is 1t that has done this thing?" and there was no answer. For the play was produced under a nom de plume. and the cleverest work of the newspa pers failed to disclose the real Identity of the author.
 After the play had been success for many months and had brought a great harvest of shekels to manager and playwright, fire occurred in a great office building wherein the man. ager who produced the play had his ofhces. A reporter hurrying to the fire

 An entirely new Idea in the shape and use of hatpins has been devised and patented by Maine inventor. an illustration of which is shown here. This hatpin is used in conjunction with holder. the latter being sewed to the sweatband or the inner edge of the hat. This holder is in the form of a small metal clip having two oh long openings, through which pass the two points of a double pointed hat pin. The holders are fastened to the sweatband at each side of the head. and the pins push in through the hair to hold the hat in place, the en- larEed points of the hatpin preventing it from falling out The hatpin Is shaped similar to an ordinary hairpin, with the exception of the enlarged ponts. which are fattened and broad ened. In connection with the holder is a socket projecting outward from the edge of the hat. This socket serves unique purpose. In removing the

was enveloped in a cloud of smoke and cinders and after catching his breath found charred piece of paper blown across his face. Glancing at it he saw that it was a contract and upon furth- CT investigation 1t proved to be the veritable contract between the author of Loves Last Surrender" and the manager who purchased it. The con- troversy as to the authorship of the play had been waging so fiercely that the reporter recognized instantly the value of the information he had. He went on with his fire story and on the following day sought out the man whose name was on the priceless con- tract the gods had sent into his hands. He found him--a thin. hollow-cheeked man with eyes In which burned a fire almost uneanny in It's intensity. He was lily dressed and bore none of the marks of the successful author
 What was the inspiration of this great work?" asked the reporter.
 Come with me-" replied the man.
 Following him silently tho reporter went with the man py trolley car and walk until they reached the great cemetery by the flowing river. The great author paused beside a grave surmounted by a simple shaft but heaped high with priceless roses.
 '"The inspiration lies here," said ha solemnly. "The play is the very es- senee of the life and love and devotion of the marvellous woman rwho lies be- meath this mound. It is the warp and wool of her heart-throbs and mine That Is why I have never let my au- thorship be known--I would not pro- fane her love and mine You. sir, have discovered the secret You have 1t In your power to do this act of dissertation. Do 1t. sir. If your con- science will allow. cannot prevent it--but forbid 1t in the name of every holy and generous instinct"

 This haunted home, however, is but one out of very many that are scattered all over the United kingdom.
 There is weird legend attached to Glamis castle, the home of the carls of Strathmore It is said that there is a secret which is known only to tie head of the family, to his heir and to one other person. This Is a secret so grim and terrible that it affects the whole lives of those who learn it and makes them moody and different from other men.
 One inkling of the legend is that there is a concealed chamber ill the castle which is habited by q strange, half hu- man creature of terrible aspect and of incredible age. This is said to be the incarnate embodiment of curse which rests upon the family. Still another sto- " is that the room holds the bones of band of prisoners who i'll Scotland's stormy days were immured and slowly starved to death.
 One day some guests made tour of the rooms and hung a towel or hand- kerchief out of eveTy window they could discover. It was found that when they had walked around the cas- tie there was one easement from which no signal flew. Then the most careful search was made within the rambling building, but all efforts failed to re veal the exact position of the window All the efforts also failed to bring to light how 1t was that there could be any apartment to which the window belonged
 It is also related that a young med ical man, who stayed at the castle Dy invitation of the owner, found i'll BIS room trapIoor leading to winding passage. This ended at Il freshly plas- tered wall .ihe young gentleman lh- dented the plaster with his finger, then smoOthed it over as best he could and returned to his room and said nothing The very next morning he recelved note from Lord Strathmore. incloslns check for his services. So it is that the story of Glamis castle is shrouded in the deepest mystery.
 Near Dundee on a high bank over looking the road to I.ochee there stood until recently house shroudeu ey the dense foliage of fir trees. HIS house had terrible reputation ana was known as the Haunted House or Logic y 1t was an old, long, ram shaella mansion, and it is only recent lv that it yielded up it's dreadful secret. For years 1t has been salo liii'' tbe rooms of the old house have "lt- messed dark and mysterious crimes compitted some time ago by an ecceh- tric and depraved laird.

Oldest or all Crop Pests.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one Of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that ito
name was given it as result of the
fact that it was brought to the United
States in the straw included in the i'm
pedimenta Of the Hessian troors sent
over against the American revolu-
tiouists by George III in 1776 1t
was first noticed on Long Island
sooI: 125years ago, and has since
spread extensively with the prog
ress of civilization and wheat growing
west, north and south. Sometimes
it completely destroys the growing
wheat in certain sections, and the
average loss it causes is about 40, ,G00,-
600 bushels annually, or about 6 OF Z
per cent Of the total crop. The en-
tomoiogical bureau has studied it
long aud closely, and the recommeu-
dations made to wheat growers have
undoubtedly kept the damage far be-
low what it would otherwise have
been; aud yet, in spite of the best ef-
forts uf the scientist cnd the farmers
who act on their ed :ice, the fly got
beyond control during the season of
four years ago and destroyed fully so
per ceut Of the crop in the infested
region, the resultant loss being in the
neishborhood of $50, 100000 or $40,-
00G,00o. This extra ordinary aud un-
fortunate development was due TO
weather conditions favorable to the
pest and to an unusual scarcity of it's
parasitic enemy. The parasite,
which formed inside the body Of the
fly, has been secured in large numbers
by the entomologists and liberated 10
several wheat.growing States, and
much good has resulted.-Chicago

Sublime Bravery.

The sinking of the Japanese cruiser
Tskasago during the Russo japanese
war was heart touching proof Of the
heroic possibilities Of human nature.
10 the teeth Of freezing gale the
cruiser struck q mine, which blew o
slx foot hole in it's hull. The water
rushed in with tremendous force. No
help was 10 sight. The caDte.2 sum-
moned the crew. "No one must leave
the ship he said quietly, until she
sinks. We will share the fate of the
7essel together
There was no fliuchiug. They san
their national anthem, cheered their
emperor and calmly, drawn up in due
order, waited minute by minute until
the ship went down. Nearly 400 lives
were lost.
In 1852 the Birkcnhcad, a British
troop steamer, vas wrecked off the
Cape Of Good Hope. After putting
the women and children into the boats
the men formed on deck and in full
dress uniform, with colors nyirg,
went down at their post, 100 Of them.

Not many years ago the crew Of the
American Nandalia faced death in the
same splendid spirit. OF all the ships
gathered in the bottle shaped harbor
Of Samoa the English Calliope was the
only one able to force it's way out in
the face of the hurrican. which swept
the waters. AS she crept past the
Fandalia, lying shattered on reef,
the Yankee crew manned the sides,
the band played ''The Star SpaDgled
Banner" and the brave men about to
die saluted the brave men who were
fighting their way to life and safety.
There is quality Of courage in such
encounters with inevitable death that
must be ranked above the bravery
shown in the excitement of active bat
tie with human foe. He is not the
brevest man who has no fear, but
rather he who, feeling it all the time,
yet overcome the impulse to cowardioe
and moves steadily forward to what.
ever fatal duty awaits him.
