CHAPTER xxx.

" ODERS frame of mind as he
left Cadogan gardens was pc
Ill euliar. Once more he was liv,
~ ing in the present-the force
full, eXhilarating present, and the
knowledge braced him. Upon one
point his mine was satisfied. Lillian
Astrupp had found the telegram, and
it remained to him to render her find

this, o he proposed to come out tri-
umphant in face of such a situation,
was a matter that as yet was shape

Of the day and night just passed. Chill
cote in his weakness and his %entangle-
ment had turned to him, and he in his
strength and capacity had responded
to the appeal.
His step was firm and his bearing as
sured as he turned into Grosvenor
square and walked toward the familiar
house.
The habit of self deceit is as insidi-
Gus and tenacious as any vice. For one
moment on the night of his great
speech as he leaned out of Chilcote's
carriage and met Chilcote's eyes Loder
had seen himself and under the shock
of revelation had taken decisive action.
But in the hours subsequent to that
action the plausible, inner voice had
whispered increasingly, soothing his
wounded self esteem, rebuilding stone
by stone the temple of his egotism, IN
til at last when Chilcote, panic stricken
at his own action, had burst into his
rooms ready to plead or to coerce be
had found no need for either coercion
or %entreaty. By a power more subtle
and effective than any at his command
Loder had been prepared for his COM
ing-unconsciously ready with an &C
quiescence before his appeal had been
made. 1t was the fruit of this prepara-
ton, the inevitable outcome Of it, that
strengthened his step and steadied his
hand as he mounted the steps and
opened the hall door of Chilcote's house
on that eventful afternoon.
The dignity. the air of quiet solidity,
impressed him as it " failed to do,
as he crossed the large hall and ascend
ed the stairs-the same stairs that he
had passed down almost as an outcast
not SO many hours before. He was fill
ed with the sense of things regained.
Belief in his own star lifted him, as 1t
had done u hundred times before in

help me to be sensible" Her cheeks
still burned, her manner was still ex-
cited, like one who holds an emotion
or IN impulse at bay.
Loder looked at her uncertainty.
Eve he began afresh with his odd,
characteristic perseverance, but she
instantly checked him. There was a
finality, n faint suggestion of fear, In
her protest.
DON'T" she said. Don't! l don't
want explanations. l want toto en-
JOY the moment without having things
analysed or smoothed away. Can't you
understand? Can't you see that Pm

you-as you are!" Again her voice
broke-a break that might have been
q laugh or a sob.
The sound was an emotional crisis,
as such a sound invariably is. 1t ar
rested and steadied her. For a mo-
ment she stood absolutely still, then
with something very closely resembling
her old repose of manner she stopped
again and quietly picked up the flow
ers still lying at her feet.
Now" she said quietly, II must say
what I've wanted to say all along.
How does it feel to be a great man%
Her manner was controlled, she looked
at him evenly and directly; save for
the faint vibration in her voice there
was nothing to indicate the tumult of a
moment ago.
But Loder was still uncertain. He
caught her hand, his eyes searching
hers.
but Eve he began.
Then Eve played the last card in her
mysterious game. Laughing quickly
and nervously, she freed her hand and
laid it over his mouth.
"Now she said. mot one word! All
this past fortnight has belonged to
you; now it's my turn. To-day is mine"

BIRD AND BEE.

Chase Almost ns Rapid ms Flashes
 of Light.
 Here is a story as told by a gentle man who spends the greater portion of his time studying the habits of birds:
 A humming bird with an angry dash expressed its disapproval of the pres ence of n big bumblebee in the same tree. The usually pugnacious bee in- confidently fled, but he did not leave the tree. He darted back and forth among the branches and white blos- soms, the humming bird in close pur suit. Where will you find another pair that could dodge and dart equal to these? They are like flashes of light, yet the pursuer followed the track of the pursued, turning when the bee turned
 In short the bird and the bee con- trolled the movements of their bodies more quickly and more accurately than he could control the movements of his eyes. The chase was all over in half the time that 1t takes to tell 1t, but the excitement of a pack of hounds after fox was no greater. The bee escap- ed, the bird giving up the chase and alighting on a twig. It couldn't have been chasing the bee for food, and there Is no possible explanation of it's attack except that it wanted all the honey itself.

The Queer Little Ermfne.

The ermine Is a queer animal. 1t Is one thing in winter and another thing In summer. In winter its fur is as white as snow, and 1t Is called the er- mine. Tn summer it turns a reddish brown on the upper part of the body and light yellow on the lower part, and it Is then called the stoat. This change is familiar to naturalists, but not to ordinary people, and the ermine and the stoat are therefore generally regarded as distinct animals The fur of the ermine Is much valued. At one time 1t was mark of royalty, and the state robes of judges and magistrates were lined with it as an emblem of purity. The ermine Is so cunning in its ways that it is almost as difficult to catch 1t as 1t Is to "catch a weasel asleep" In fact, about the only way to capture 1t Is to mark its course from its home and then strew mad in its pathway. When the dainty, fastidious little animal reaches the point where the mud is strewn it will lie down and subject itself to risk of capture rather than smirch one of its snow white hairs.

EASTON'S PLANT WORN OUT.
Rundown Machinery and Dark Streets.
 Appeal to Corporations.

Rundown Machinery and Dark Streets.
 Appeal to Corporations.
 Easton, Pa, Is one of the cities that, having tried municipal ownership of lighting plants, have found it wanting. In a recent message to the city coun- cils Mayor March said that, although he is a believer in the theory of city ownership. nevertheless he would "pre- fer to hand over the city lighting to private corporations rather than see large districts in darkness, as has often been the case i'll the last six months"
 Continuing he characterized this as dangerous from the n.Sce point of view" and unbearable from the citi. zen's, adding that if the city contin- ues to operate the plant it must be run as q private corporation would run it." There should not only be econo- my. but the machinery should be con- stantly repaired and renewed, both for efficiency and ito keep up with mod ern progress in electric lighting"
 Much of the machinery being almost worn out. he advises that arrange ments be made to borrow current from local company in case of breakdown that the city streets may not be kept in darkness while repairs are going on. He does not say what he would advise were municipal ownership complete and there were no private companies.
 Built in 1886, the construction cost of Easton's electric light plant to date has been about $T0,000 In a summary of the situation the Sunday Call, which appears originally to have favored the enterprise. says the plant isn't satis- factory and the city hasn't the money to renew it. The companies must now be asked to put in bids for city light ing. The Call thinks they can furnish it cheaper than the city can itself. Easton's lighting experiment, the pa- per adds. has been costly and unsatis- factory" The city was bonded to es- tablish the plant, and now that 1t Is worn out and almost useless the debt remains.
 Nothing has ever been charged up for depreciation. but the people were told that this was unnecessary, as the plant was being kept in good repair. Fifty thousand dollars was spent in patching up" the plant, but the state ment that it was kept In good order Is now proved untrue, and so is the state ment that the cost was less than a private corporation would have charg- ed for the same service, though many people believed both statements for a i time.
 According to a special to the New York Times. women and children are not considered safe on Easton's streets at night. and sixty firms and business men have petitioned that the street | lighting be turned over to private corporation at once.

THE GRANGE

MASSACHUSETTS GRANGE.
Meets In Historic FaneuiI Hall, Bos-

Meets In Historic Faneuil Hall, Bos-
 ton, With Large Attendance.
 Old Faneuil hall, Boston, had within its walls Dec II to 13 gathering of the bone and sinew of the land. 1t was an unusual scene. The hall was profusely decorated for the occasion with flowers, foliage and bunting as well as an abundance of fruits and farming produce. The state grange has not met in the city of Boston since 1891, and since that time the number of granges in the state has doubled. Out of 201 subordinate granges 195 were represented and all the twenty Pomona granges. State Master Rich ardson In his annual address said that the Order had increased 1,500 within the past year, and he suggested that the grange take favorable action for better laws on taxation calculated to reach personal property. He argued the importance of good roads and the need of legislation to protect them from high speed automobiles, the de structien of the gypsy moth and the need of arousing public interest In losses by insect pests. A large amount of business was transacted, and what was perhaps the most important was the selection of a committee of thirty to carry into effect the vote of the grange for trying system of co-opera- tive buying of agricultural supplies as we'll as cooperative selling. The mas ter of each of the twenty Pomona granges will be a member of this com mittee of thirty. The executive com mittee of five will also be members of 1t, and the remaining five were chosen by the grange. The secretary of the Grange Fire Insurance company re- ported outstanding risks at nearly $2,- 80O,OOO. There are now 2,770 policy holders. Secretary Howard reported thirteen new granges organized the past year, the largest number In any one year thus far. There are now POI sub ordinate granges with 21,374 members. The sixth degree was conferred on 555 new members. There was a lecturers conference, attended by 149 lecturers, their expenses being paid by their granges A notable feature of one of the evening sessions was the exempii- flcation of the third degree by a de gree team of twenty-one ladies from Dracut grange The state grange will meet next year in Pittsfeld. Mass.

 During the past year Maine has or ganized sixteen new granges and reor- ganized six, making an increase of twenty-two subordinate granges. They are strong on all departments of grange work. There are 408 subordi- nate granges, represented by an aver age membership of 1892 They have added 4,301 new members, making a total paid up membership of 53,366 up to Sept. 80. They have erected and dedicated five new grange halls the past year, which cost $21 ,O0O, an aver age of $4 200 each. Three hundred and f1fty-five of the 4O8 subordinate granges own and occupy their own halls. The aggregate value of these grange homes. with their furnishings, Is $SS7 ,0OO, which serves to indicate the stability of the Order in that state.
