Increased Cost Of Living.

That the cost Of living Is steadily in
creasing in other countries, as well as
In the United States Is undoubtable. In
Germany prices have advanced to such
an extent that what were few years
ago taken as matter OF course and
regarded as necessities, are now dis
tinctly Injuries to the middle classes.
In recent address the mayor Of the
City of Stuttgart, which has a popu-
lation Of 247,OO0, stated that during
the last twelve months the clty's meat
supply had cost about 100000 more
than for the preceding year. The agri-
cultural products consumed In the city
cost at least 100000 more than the
year before. Owing to this great In
crease of cost the city was compelled to
raise the wages of all It's laborers and
employees Reports of like conditions
come from almost all other German
cities.-Harper's Weekly.

Across the Counter.

1t Is the paraphernalia of life which
changes; human nature remains much
the same. Old stores Of earlier days,
with their assorted goods and local
gossip, have yielded their place In the
busy towns, or have been pushed far
into the rural districts. There were
no commercial travellers In the old
times, nor bargain sales; but the
woman shopper, with Der inconsequent
ways, was just the same as she is to-
day, and the smart salesman existed,
too. In proof of this +. A. Currier
gives two stories of old shops Of Fitch
burg, Mass, In an article on the bygone
shopping district of that town.
A lady entered one of the stores
where hats and caps were kept, and
turned over the whole Of the stock.
Nothing seemed to suit her taste.
Have you none of subdued mouse
colorT' she asked, at last.
For a moment the salesman was
staggered, but he recovered his breath.
mo, madam" he replied, 'but we
have some In enraged rat color"
Another woman, in search Of a Ger.
, tain kind of basket, made the sales
, man reach down every article Of that
nature on the shelves save two. Then
she said, as she turned away:
81 only came to look for one OF my
friends"
Madam" responded the weary
salesman, "if you have the slightest
idea that your friend is In either OF
the other two baskets, shall be pleas
ed to take them down."

An English publishing house offered
recently two large prizes-one for the
best story for children of both sexes,

Is interesting to recall in connection
with this fact that Motley worked two

autobiography Of Gen. Lew Wallace,
the writing of which was the chief
pleasure Of the last years Of the
authors life. The book Is made up
OF descriptions of his early life, his
experiences in the civil war, of his
diplomatic services in Turkey, of the
reasons why he turned to his real life
work, literature, and of the writing of
his famous books. A man who has won
distinction In 30 many widely diver
gent fields has naturally rich fund of
interesting "Reminiscences and Incident
to which the intimate self-revelatlon of

through his books will give peculiar
and vital interest.

CHAPTER v.

Everybody felt little startled and
curious at Dobroski's abrupt departure
from the garden with Angela, but nobody
but Fraser felt altogether at liberty to
speak Of it.
Farley and the young American were
still talking books when Dobroski and An
gela returned.
'You will pardon me for taking away
your charge" he said to Maskelyne. II
had received sudden and moving news in
which I knew she would be interested.
1 will ask you to forgive me, too" he
added to Farley, "for taking away your
guest" He was quite himself again, and
bore no trace of his late agitation. Good
by, little sweetheart, / must CO." He
raised her fingers to his lips and kissed
them, and shook hands formally all
round. 1--WE shall meet again, I trust"
he said to O'Rourke. "Can you spend
the evening with me?"
II am afraid l should be dull tonight"
returned O'Rourke. II was up at six
yesterday morning, and have had no rest
as yet. Can we meet tomorrow
when you WILL" returned Dobroski,
and SO with final salute all round he
went his way.
A corridor or covered passage led direct
through the hotel from the garden to
the village street, and he took that way.
Passing the center window Of the larger
salon he encountered the glance of Atha-
nos Zeno, who seized the opportunity to
bow and smile. Dobroski suddenly re-
called to mind the fact that he had left
the photograph upon the ledge of that
same window, and retracing his steps, he
entered the hotel once more He found
Mr.. Zeno standing at the window, tapping
his teeth with the ivory paper knife, and
the polite Levantine made way for him
with dancing masters grace. When the
old man stopped for the photograph which
still lay where he had left it, Mr.. Zenc
spoke.
"Ah" said he, In German, shat Is
yours, sir. 4 striking countenance. A
| friend?"
IAN acquaintance" returned Dobroski
"A delightful art And useful. So
charming to have the face Of friend be-
fore one even in absence"
man with bent head had once more passed
the window. Then his face fell suddenly
into thoughtful irown.
"A trap for me?" he said to himself
"I think not. Even If SO, a trap that
caught nothing. He knew that clumsy
capaille whom he caught In the woods the
other night, but he never guessed that
meant he should know him. I must find
him another to discover, and after tina,
another. He has some great coup OF
hand. He is not spending the better par,
of year in this perfect Quietude and In
this little village for nothing. Well, h,
foiled Mauritz, and he foiled Bernardo
and he foiled Arnaud. Let US see If b,
will foil me-"

was passing a week in the country,
'that you know all the different fow-

said Angela, indicating

the photograph.
"That?" returned Dobroski, with q very
singular smile. That is warning which
l do not need" He paused, and then
advancing to the window, and STOPPING
forward, he tapped the photograph twice
or thrice with forefnger as he spoke.
That is my implacable and memorable
enemy-as l am his. That is the man
who years ago wormed himself into my
confidence. and then betrayed me. That is
a countryman of mine, little sweetheart,
a Pole, and a Russian mouchard. That
is the denouncer of my wife and children.
1t is kind, it is we'll meant, but l do not
need to be warned of him. Nor do l think
that he needs greatly to be warned Of
me-"
He spoke quietly, almost dryly, except
for the single phrase, "a Pole and
Russian mouchard." Then his voice was
raised into an expression Of incredulous
wrath, and he broke off with the curious
cackling laugh with which he had greeted
his correspondents warning a minute or
two before.
LET us 60 bark to our friends" he
said, suddenly. Il must apologize for
dragging you away in SO strange fash
ion."
He passed an arm through one of hers
and looked down upon her with tender
smile. Mr.. Athanos Zeno was still seat,
ed at the little table as they passed
| through the smaller sale on their way tc
| the garden. He was tapping his teeth
with an ivory paper knife and leaning on
| both elbows. but he turned and bowed anC
smiled as they passed him.

TEMPE
COSTUME LECTURES.
An Interesting and Novel Entertain
 ment at the Normal Next Week.

There is a strong probability that normal students and Tempe people in general, will be given the privilege of being entertained one evening next week by a novel and al the same time cultured and clever young woman in the person of Miss Frankie Miller in Russian, Greek and Scandinavian cos tune lectures. Miss Miller has pre- pared herself for this work after years of careful study in the countries from which she draws her characters. The lectures mentioned have met with the best of success. not only in the United States but in many foreign countries. The initial presentations were given in Columbia University. There are prob ably few women who have seen as much of the world as Miss Miller. She has travelled extensively and her trip to Arizona is only a part of her tour of the United States. She came to this section for the purpose of visiting the Grand Canyon and expects to ga on to Los Angeles and San Francisco. probably stopping over at the Canyon on her return east. Her visit to Tempe is partially due to the fact that friend of hers, Prof George of the normal is here. They were in attend ance at the same university. Columbia

tune of the medieval days, and later in the dress of a peasant girl of North ern Russia; the latter costume was ex- ceedingly picturesque and decidedly becoming to the wearer, and the bril- liant coloring, the exquisite embroidery and handiwork excited the admiration of the many women present who finger
 ed after the talk to obtain a better view of the genuine Russian embroid- cry, for which there is such a pre-
 nounced vogue at the present time. Strings of gayly colored beads which Miss Miller wore around her neck add ed to the picturesque effect of the cos tune, and her high boots of soft leather in the highest of colorings. were as much admired as her gay costume of red. white and black.
 The costume of the Boyar dame Cor member of the landed gentry) was less conspicuous than the peasant dress, being soft gray in tone, but numerous pendants Of cut steel lent a bright touch and a picture hat. and an ex- quisite cape of ermine completed the costume.

evening at the normal auditorium, she will lecture to the public. More defi- mite announcement of the public lee ture will be made in tomorrow's paper.
 Wherever Miss Miller has appeared she has received the strongest support and enumeration of the press. Dur ing a recent tour Of Texas. the largest papers of the state devoted columns to her work. Eastern papers are equally liberal with praise as is evidenced by the following from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
 Russian Art and Literature. Miss Miller entertained the Colonia club with a lecture on this subject. The members of the Colonia club have been giving their attention to the study of Russia this season and their interest was stimplated by an especially enter tainiIg lecture dealing with the devel- opment of art literature and music of Russia during the past one hundred years by Miss Frank Miller. Miss Mil Ter has travelled extensively in Russia, visiting every large city in the country and her observations regarding the manners and customs of the people were. therefore, based upon personal knowledge, which added not little to the charm of her talk. Furthermore. she has made a special study of art. music and literature. and she gave her listeners much information concerning the lesser lights as well as the stars in these respective fields, and supple mented her comments with a number of original translations from the writ ings of several members of the literary cOterie to which she referred. The lecture. which was instructive and in forming. was given originally by Miss Miller at Columbia college. and the i'm terest was heightened by the appear snce of the lecturer in the Boysr cos
