faint from emotion. Her first thought
was, Arthur Calthorpe is i'll, and WAGE
is sent for the doctor.
Isis Calthorpe ili?" asked
Leila.
NO, miss: the earl. his lorGship, is in
a fla stroke. something of that kind -
Leila walked on now, feeling that sense
of relief touching the one life which was
precious to her. Pity for the old earl
was the next sentiment; and then came
the quick thought, if he should die +.
Arthur would then be his OWN master
he would be Lord Beryl. Would his
heart remain faithful under his new hon
ors? But if so would Ellen Watson be
made the legal Countess of Beryl?
Leila felt one OF those dull, heavy, per-
sistent convictions which assail us all at
times. She walked on sorrowfully. The
High street was nearly deserted in the
cool of the evening. The inhabitants
of the town were in their gardens, or
on the river, or in the woods and lanes.
Leila met nobody at all interesting I'M
til she reached the door of the librarian
and book seller. Mr.. Garfield. At the
door of the shop stood the pretty open
carriage and roam ponies of Miss Wat
son, as Leila persisted in calling the am.
bilious schemer, in her heart. A boy
was holding the ponies.
Leila did not choose again to encounter
that woman. She walked on, glancing
back every now and then to make sure
that Miss Watson was still in the shop.
She walked on some distance. To the
left was a quaint old street, in which
stood the BLACK Wolf inn, opposite
to the ancient Abbey church. She still
walked on. She was struck by the pic
turesque aspect of the old inn. She paus-
ed moment TO look at it, and Arthur
Calthorpe advanced from under the porch
to meet her.

LONDON FOG PREVENTION.
An italian Inventor Proposes to
DfspeI 1t by Explosions.

DfspeI 1t by Explosions.
Consul-General Robert ]. Wynne re-
ports that the London county council
has decided, on the report of the meteo-
rological Office expert, not to vote
money for experiments to dispel fogs
In London by explosive disturbances of
the atmosphere, as proposed by an Ital-
Ian inventor, concerning which the COLI
sul-general writes:
In replying to the report which
made light of the theory that fogs
could be driven away by the discharge
Of cannon, civil and electric engineer
informs the expert that the inventor
Of the fog dispeller has never claimed
to be able to displace the atmosphere
in order to prevent the fog from form
ing or to drive 1t away when once
formed. His theory is quite different
and the work to do very simple. He
stated that in order to prevent the phe
nomenOn from taking place it suffices
to destroy the atmospheric equilibrium
which exists at the moment when the
fog forms and which lasts as long as
the fog lasts. The inventor states that
the tranquility of the atmosphere is
the sole cause Of fog; las purpose is TO
produce a movement in the air mole
cules. This movement is easily obtain
ed by means of vibrations Of the at
mosphere. In order to produce mole
cular movement in 100 tons of metal
1t is not in the least necessary to dis
place the mass of metal-it is sufficient
to strike it with a hammer to put the
molecules of the entire mass in vibra-
ton.
The inventor draws attention to the
official statement of the District VIII
culture Society of Lyons, France, pub
lished on Feb. 2, 1907. From the re-
port 1T appears that in the ten years
preceding the use of protection against
hall the losses amounted to about 49,
100000 francs (francs-193 cents). In
the six following years they amounted
only to 100000 francs, and it is here
stated that "all the slight failures sus-
tanned were invariably due to the re-
Taxation of discipline on the part of
the firers, who allowed themselves to
be taken unawares."
According to the engineer referred
to, Notwithstanding the action of the
apparatus are to be made in London.

The Brain Alter Fifty.

The brain usually stops growing at
about 30, and from GO to 40 it is more
likely to decrease. 1t has been related
by Canon MacColl, says the London
Spectator, that Mr.. Gladstone's head
was constantly outgrowing his hats.
AS late as the Midlothian campaign.
when he was nearly 20, he was obliged
to have his head remeasured for this
reason. Canon MacColrs conclusion
that this continued growth of brain
contributed to Mr.. Gladstone's peren-
nial youthfulness appears not Ynwar-
ranted.

CHAPTER XIV.

Leila Leigh still taught French and
German at the Ladies' College of St.
Martha's. She used to receive letters
three or four times a week from Arthur
Calthorpe; but she seldom met him. She
was not happy. How could she be with
the terrible suit in the future, which
Ellen Watson was about 20 bring against
Arthur Caltborpe, claiming to be his law
full wife. although he had never addressed
one word Of love to her in his life? II
she established her claim, and was rec
pgnized as his wife in the eye of the law,
there was reason to believe that the Earl
Of Beryl would entirely disinherit ais
young kinsman.
The old noble had been most solicitous
IN regard to the recovery of his nephew.
Every care and attention that skill and
affection combined could devise had been
paid TO the invalid; and now Arthur Cal
thorpe was about again as well as ever.
1t was hot July. In four months the
ease was to come on for hearing. Ellen
Watson had become a celebrity. There
we're not wanting persons who advanced
this cunning, ambitious woman large
sums of money at exorbitant interest !;
and she lived in pretty villa, which she
hired furnished, about a mile out of ABB
,otshold. She k ut a groom, a gardener,
4 cook, houseEaid, a little carriage
with pair of ponies, which she drove
herself.
She dressed in the gayest and most
fashionable attire. She was sufficiently
Toung and good-looking to create a GER
lain species of interest. Various old
bachelors, retired majors army,
and lieutenants in the navy, 49, lodged
IN the town or neighborhood of Abbots-
hold; many young diapers assistants, a
lew lawyers clerks, and auctioneers'
clerks; and many young apprentices to
nilliners and dressmakers in the old Ca
shedral city, girls with romantic fancies
Ind ambitious hearIs, looked with wonder
md admiration On Miss Watson-Mrs.
calthorpe, as she called herself.
When she dashed into town, driving
her little ponies, she was always smiling,
rracious and afTahle as young princess.
she wore the prettiest and most fantas-
.ical costumes now, during the brilliant
July weather. Sometimes Of an even
Ing. Just as the sky was red, she would
come into the town. If it were a cool
evening, she would wear a complete cos
tume of black lace and gold. She had
copied this fanciful dress from a pretty
lady reclining in a chariot in Hyde Park,
while a troop of cavaliers crowded about
Der to pay her homage. At other times
Miss Watson would appear in white en-
tirely, with no other ornament than
SCARLET rose at her breast.
She was always gracious, cheerful and
m excellent spirits. She paid ready
money for all the goods she ordered
never asked the price of anything; flung
aown her sovereigns with smiling air,
md seemed to thank everybody, and beam
upon everybody, like benefcent fairy.

wore long sleeves but the bridesmaids
also.
OF all the collars offered at the neck
wear counters just now no other is so
generally popular as the striped one
embroidered with colored dots or col
ored pattern.
Some of the most effective little
blouses are made of striped wolfe and
have accompanying them blond lace
jabots edged narrowly with batiste in
the color of the stripe.
Sleeves of this seasons gowns which
are to see use during the spring and
summer will have to be cut down. There
is little fullness gathered into the arm
hole, sometimes none at all.
Skirts are plated, circular and
gored, many of them with front panel
effects. A wide band at the hem,
which tips upward at the back, is one
of the latest fads. 1t has been conspic-
uous on the other side all winter.
The belt fad of the moment is plain
strap of leather to accord with the
gown and fastens with a monogram
buckle. These are gold or silver, quite
round, the wearer's initials being set
within fine rim. The clasp is pre-
cisely the width of the belt and so adj
justed that it may be put on different
bands.
The latest petticoat outdoes all 9th
ers i'm the sheath-fitting effect of the
hips. There is deep belt that extends
the entire depth of the hips and from
this there falls fat founce trimmed
with innumerable insertions or rows of
ribbons. The bottom is finished with
little frills and ruches. Such a skirt
takes up little enough room and adds
imperceptible bulk.

Here are some of the things which
will tend to keep colors from fading !:
For blue use a handful of salt, for
green lump of alum. Ok gall will

hay water, which is made by pouring
boiling water over hay.

add the final touch take a small piece
of ice, cover with a towel and rub
gently three or four times over the
cheek bones This gives a color which
will last for hours, and is really a mild

Then wash the face with hot water.
Then dash cold water over it and dry
