She was Adeline Tucker; but the lady
who supplies you with these tarts, un.
less I'm altogether wrong in my con.

The girl stared, blushed and STAN.
mered:
She was Adelaide Payson-and
she's my Aunt Addict"
"Was?" exclaimed Uncle Chester
paling momentarily. Then, recover.
ing himself, he added: "Oh, | under.
stand-partly. Is your aunt mar.
ried?"
She is a widow-her name is
Rand"
Il see. And that is your name, too?"
The young lady bowed, with yet an
other rosy blush, as she looked from
the tail of an eye at Olney.
The Thanksgiving dinner at Green
Gables was, to most of the family, a
tame affair, and to Mrs. Sloane a
positive disappointment. From the
feast for which she had made such
elaborate preparations the chief guest
was absent. Another absence-whose
detection she regarded with emotions
mingled beyond mere masculine analy.
sis-was 0lney, who had required no
urging to complete a partie carree at
the Aquitaine, whose other members
were Uncle Chester, Aunt Addle" and
her niece, Miss Rosa Rand.
That little Thanksgiving repast was
an immense success, from every point
of view, unless an exception again be
made in the case of that of Mrs.
Sloane. But she was quite prepared,
II not resigned, when a double we'd
ding resulted.
All on account Of those apple
thingumies!" was the comment Of Mr..
Sloane when he read the invitations.
Mother evidently regards it still
as case Of tort!" said Richard.
But that lady covered both her liz.
norance and disappointment with an
expressive shrug.

The golden-haired cashier regretted
that 1t was against the rules to com.

the superintendent was the proper
person to apply to-the only one who

the establishment-and she had lust
gone away for the day. Return? Prob.
ably not until next Monday.
Uncle Chester, who had remained in
the background of this colloouy now
came to the front, and repeated his
discounted nephew's request.

should be the last to wish to DRY into
such secrets, under ordinary circum.
stances replied Uncle Chester; but
the circumstances are extraordinary
and feel almost certain that | al.

VINO made those apple tarts."
Apple tarts, did you say?" cried the
pretty cashier, with a deeper blush
and startled air, as she came from
behind her desk.
Apple tarts," repeated Chester
Sloane, marked with a capital A.

New Wire Invented.

A Partisan metallurgical engineer
claims to have perfected a process Of
welding copper to steel wire so as to
make a noncorrosive coating. Many
advantages, 1t is said, will result from
the use Of this new wire, such as high
tensile strength and elasticity, COM
bined with smaller surface exposed to
wind and sleet than would be the case
with iron wire Of the same conduc-
tivity. This wire is especially useful
over long spans. as pole intervals may
be greater when 1t is used.-Engineer.

which was published under the firm
name of Byers & Daley. A consolida-
tion was effected later with Rounds &
Bliss, the concern being known as the
News Printing Company. The flood of
1864, four years after the News had

Office for six years. Later he became

nected with Denver lodge No. 5, A.

wife, formerly Miss Melissa Rounds
Of Chicago. having died one year after
their marriage. In 1868 he married
Mrs. Helen NJ. Woodbury. and four
children were born of this union who.
with their mother, survive him. They

Admiral Brownson Rebuked.

Washington President Roosevelt's IS
attitude on the question of the COM
mand of hospital ships in the navy.
Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson
and incidentally some caustic observ-
ations on that incident and the con-
troversies among the naval officers
and their adherents as to details of
naval construction and methods of
training, were made known Sunday
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the President
addressed to him on these subjects.
In the first of these letters Presi-
dent Roosevelt condemns in unmeas-
ured terms the act of Admiral Brown
son, declaring it to be unseemly and
improper. The question upon which
Admiral Brownson took issue with the
navy department the President de-
clares is one on which there can be
entirely legitimate differences Of opin-
ions, but, he adds, there is no room
gross impropriety of the admiral's
conduct in resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
in such matter. The officers of the
navy must remember that it is not
merely childish. but in the highest de-
gree reprehensible, to permit either
personal pique, wounded vanity or fac.
-ional feeling on behalf of some par
ticular bureau or organization to ren,
der them disloyal to the interests of
the navy and therefore to the country
as whole"
