A Legal Tender.

The other night, said Eli Perkins,
I met a young law student at a party.
He was dancing with Miss Johnson.
II have an engagement to dance the
Flying Galop' with Miss Johnson"
I remarked-"No. TO-"
You have an engagement? You
mean you have retained her for a
dance" (
she has contracted t sdance with
me-" I said.
But contracts where no earnest
money is paid are null and void.
You must yacate premises"
H"But will you please give me half
a dance? I ask the courtesy"
why, yes. Mr.. Perkins," he said
"Take her" But, recollecting his
legal knowledge, he caught hold of
my coat sleeve and added this casual
remark:
II give and bequeath to you. Mr..
Eli Perkins, to have and to hold in
trust, one-half of my right, title and
claim, and my advantage, in o dance
known as the Flying Galop,' with
Amelia Johnson, with all her hair.

The Weight of Atoms.

So important is an exact knowl'
edge Of the atomic weights of the
various chemical elements that there
is an international commission which
undertakes to revise the list of such
weights once each year, in accord
ance with the latest researches.
The list for 1907 contains seventy.
nine elements. Among these there
are seven whose atoms are heavier
than those Of gold, namely, mercury,
thallium, lead, bismuth, radium.
thorium and uranium, which has the
greatest atomic weight known. The
weight of an atom Of hydrogen. still
the lightest of all known substances.
is fixed at zoos; that Of an atom Of
oxygen at 16; that of an atom of gold
at 1872; that of an atom Of radium
at 1925; and that of an atom of ura-
mum at 23S.5.-Youth's Companion.

some difficulty IN extracting them.
With the aid of a. confederate, he
therefore planned a simple scheme
for acquiring them; the only thing
necessary to the success Of which was
that Adair should take the right hand
of the street. There was no reason,
indeed, why he should take the left
hand; but if he had CHANGED to o
the road, the scheme would have
been a failure. In that cas- Adair
would have simply walked down the
river stairs where the boat was
awaiting him; as it was, instead of
embarking on the Thames, he crossed
the Styx.
Dawson's confederate on the other
side of the way was thought to have
given some signal for the bolt of the
cellar trap to be withdrawn just as
Adair stepped upon it, when as we
know, he suddenly disappeared from
the sight of the detective. At all
events he was found there dead.
Sophy was received at the Laurels
with open arms, but not at all like
a returned ~prodigal. Matters were
made to 60 on al much as possible
exactly the same as they had been
used TO do; those half a dozen years
of absence and misery were treated
as though she had been away on a
weeks visit, and was now come home
again. So many stitches cannot, how
ever, be dropped in the web of life
without leaving a vecS ugly hole.
The contrast between what was and
what had been was sharp and clear
to her, for all their care, as a jagged
rock against a summer sky. Bitter
est of all were her reflections" upon
what might have been. Even for
Sophy's sake Robert could not con
ceal his love when Alma came-a
girl .dutiful as beautiful, tender as
pure, born for the admiration of all,
for the, devotion of one. Not one
spark of jealousy of her glowed in
Sophy's bosom; but in her supreme
happiness she recognized all that she
herself had so recklessly thrown
away. She did not envy her as the
chosen bride of an honorable and
worthy young fellow-"all these
things had ceased to be" with her as
though she was on her dying bed
but the gifts which made her so pre-
cious in her eyes; some Of these, at
least, she had had in her power to
bestow, and she had flung them into
the gutter. Young as she still was in
years, the joys of youth were al
ready ver with her; it was though
she belonged to two generations
back, and for the future could only
hope to find her happiness in the
happiness of others.
After Roberts marriage he re-
turned to India once more, from
whence, at intervals, two baby boys
were forwarded to the care Of grand
papa and Aunt Maria; it is needless
to say that they YER received with
rapture, but they never put little
Willie's nose out Of joint in the af-
fections of the canon
Boys may come" he vas wont to
say, as, bending over some picture
book together, he mingled his silver
with her golden hair, land even girls
may come; but they will never come
between me and the girl who made
me her herr And they never did.

A Good Bread Box.

Occasionallythe housewife finds that
she has no convenient place to set the
ordinary tin bread box, and some
other receptacle must be prepared
for 'the staff of life" If you have
a drawer large enough to hold the
bread, this will answer very we'll, by
having it lined with tin by the tin
smith. Half Of the top of the lining
should be on hinges so that, when
the drawer is pulled out half way,
the cover can. be lifted up to put the
bread in or take it out. The bread
keeps fresh, and nc dust or mice a
possible get at it., and when the box
is closed and pushed back it is en-
tirely out of the way.
Another drawer would also serve
we'll for the cakes.

CHAPTER XIV.
In Port.

When Sophy went down to. Cam
bridge, she was in deep mourning;
but the heaviness Of heart within
her was caused by the ems Of her
own unworthiness, and not by her
recent loss. The notion that the
death even Of the worst of husbands
is a matter Of regret is a very gener-
al one, and is recorded IN many en-
during substances, such as tomb
stones. But the truth is that there
is no relation in life which a hold
its ground against persistent wrong
doing. That of the dead We should
say nothing but good is an excellent
maxim; but, unfortunately, it takes
too much for granted-namely, that
there is some good to a. about them.
OF John Adair, it might, indeed,
have been stated that he had an *
cellent head "for figures" but even
that eulogium, since it included the
! art Of classifying accounts, was of a
doubtful value. For my W part I
never feel that slightest regret when
offensive persons of my acquaintance
are removed to another sphere (of
course I may be mistaken in my es-
innate Of them; but, in that case, it
is a consolation to feel that they are
gone where their merits, which es-
capped my limited observations, will
be ap~preciated); and therefore I can
not blame poor Sophy that she felt
so little sorrow for her bereavement.
Some distress and pain, however.
she did feel by reason. of the manner
Of her husbands departure. John
Adair, it was generally understood,
was murdered. He was found dead
under that cellar flap in Miller street;
and 1.-The theory of what would have
been 'the prosecution" had there
been anybody to prosecute, was as
follows: Mr.. Dawson, as has been
mentioned, had an establishment in
this street, which consisted, however,
only of certain underground prem
Uses used for storage-probably Of
| stolen goods. When Adair so indis-
creetly exhibited to him that parcel
of bank notes, it came into his mind
that he would rather go abroad with
~ill-gotten gains than with the pos
| SCISSOR of them, from whose custody
he might (and doubtless would have
