Furthermore. Johnny was the son Of
John Gaylord. president ct the big Gay

this is more germane to the present
narrative. Johnny was the small bf,th.
er of Georgette Gaylord.
Georyette Gaylord had no rival as
the social queen Of Reading. Personal
beauty and tact seemed to have united
with the wealth and social position Of
her family to place her on pedestal.
Marshall N. Joslin was the junior
member Of the firm of Slacklcton.

Proof That the Modern Maiden ls Not
Easily "Stumped."

It was his first dinner at her house,
mother was away, and it was the
maids day out. The girl sat down and
considered. She didn't know q blue
bean about cooking.
But dear, dear, Rome wasn't built
In day and one couldn't acquire the
gentle art of cooking in an afternoon.
So the old rule of when in doubt

little girl smiled to herself and set the
table its prettiest.
The cakes, salad and ices for that
dinner were perfect and the roast and
vegetables were delicious. He looked
elated and she maintained a discreet
air. Only the baskets and boxes in
the kitchen told the story. Some were
from one of the best caterers in town,
the others, the ones that the roast and
vegetables had come in, were from a
delicatessen shop that makes a spe-
cialty of sending out dinners to order.
So. Of course, he liked the dinner, and

up her brow and said to herself, Il

THIS PENAL COLONY A MODEL
Brazil Seems to Have Solved One of
Civilizations Problems.

The penal colony OF the state of
Pernambuco, Brazil, is on an island
500 miles on the coast. There are 500
convtcts at present. They arise at 6
a. m. and work till p. m. for the state
cultivating cotton of a superfine quail
ty. After two o'clock they work for
themselves. The island is one of the
most orderly and productive bits of
soil In Brazil. II is a model convict
colony and the cheapest run OF any In
the world.
The group OF islands to which the
penal one belongs is where the eQua-
torial and south equatorial currents
divide, and It is surrounded by a tri-
angular sheet of quiet sea, full OF all
kinds Of fish, valuable commercially.
AS convict labor may be had at ten
cents a day there IL opportunity for
fine fishing concessions there. 1t is
regarded as a flrst-class location for a
coaling station. The islands also have
valuable phosphate deposits.

THIS CEMENT WALL A NOVELTY.
Action Of Nature Has Given Il a Dis
tlnct Artistic Value.

There is a wall OF cement In Los
Angeles which shores up one side of
a building lot that has an artistic
value never intended by the builder.
He had moved his bags OF cement
on to the ground to be ready for work
and was then called away on some
other Job for 4 day or two. In the
meantime one OF the very infrequent
rains came on and each sack turned
into stone under the action Of the wa
ter and the fabric Of the sacks them
selves were absorbed into the cement
so that It was impossible to remove 1t
Consequently each sack was wrought
into the wall as II 1t had been a boul-
der on the line OF an old stone wall.
They were then chinked and bound
together with worked cement and
after time the weather disposed of
the gunny sacking, but left the blocks
marked with the impress Of the weave
The result IL q highly ornamental
cement wall, resembling at little dis
