A True
 Lover
By GeIeff Burgess
Copyright by Joseph E. Bowies.)

A younger man would have called Miss Allison effete He might have said that she was burned out" But 1t was evident from Conrad's manner that he did not think so, that he at least had hopes of arousing her He still held her cold hand and pleaded with her, a lover amply qualified in ardor and freshness.
 She did not seek to restrain him with any gesture of protest-that was not her way-she gazed at him stead lastly her hazel eyes suffused Her eyes showed too much wearness. al- most too much wisdom, for her age but neither quality detracted from the compelling. romantic charm of her face, rather cid 1t lend a more piquant contradiction to it's soft contour
 Cant l wake you up?" he de. handed Cant do something to make you break through yourself? Do l have to set the house on fire before you will show your soul at the win. dow? You're the kind of woman for WnOm men do W1ld things.
 She leaned slightly forward towards him for an instant, and in the height of his fervor. her hand returned his pressure. For that instant he haC succeeded In shaking off her apathy | You're a dear!" she exclaimed with her quick sudden smile. You're so young and so deliciously virile. Yo, know how fond l am of you. don't you?"
 I've good mind to strike youn | he said. ''I wonder what you'd do Would you give one honest shriek O l terror?"
 She patted his hand gently T sup | pose not" she sighed. II cant ina zine your terrifying me. I'd be SOFT, 1 you showed such poor taste, that's all Please don't strike me, Conrad"
 Don't joke about it." he said. su lenly. You know well enough wha I meant"
 Yes; l know what you meant. Blu | l don't know what's the matter. suppose you don't love me enough"
 T don't love you enough," he re peated. How could I possibly love you more?'

 "I wonder if that's true?' she said. half to herself. There's no ther- mometer to take lovers temperatures. Conrad I wish you could make me sure, so sure that l might let myself go. at last. I'd love to give it all up and trust you!'
 She leaned towards him again and deliberately took his hand
 Just how much do you love me? Tell me," she asked, her eyes tender ly resting upon his face.
 How much? How can one say? How can one know? l might say all the foolish, silly things that lovers say in books, but what good would that do? l would die for you!"
 That's silly enough to satisfy even a woman" she said. smiling T won der what that means, precisely? I have come across the sentiment often enough in books and on the stage. It's supposed to be immensely significant What possible favor would 1t be? If a man did 1t to protect her, that's noth- ing-any man should be willing to do that for any woman. But you would do 1t as a mere favor If I asked you?"

A. italian Inventor Proposes -
DispeI 1t by Explosions.
Consul General Robert J. Wynns ~
ports that the London county council
has decided, on the report Of the meteo-
Biological Office expert, not to vote
money for experiments to dispel fogS
In London by explosive disturbances or
the atmosphere, as proposed by an Ital-
ian inventor, concerning which the con-
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, a civil and electric engineer
informs the expert that the inventoh
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 1t 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; his 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 1t with 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
hail the losses amounted to about 49,
100000 francs (francs-19.3 cents). In
the six following years they amounted
only to 100000 francs, and 1t 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.
council, experiments with the Italians.
apparatus are to be made in London.

Half an hour later DAuburon and his

their way home to the Hotel de PAthene,
where D'Auburon, in order to keep up
appearances, had engaged apartments for
his friend M. Lazare, the latter re-
marked:
Quite deal of progress for the first
evening. Several things are quite clear in
my mind"
What are they, pray?" inquired
D'Auburon.
Beyond doubt Madame Helene Col

Henry Graham, and who consequently is
the mother of Philip Graham, alias
Philip La Sour"
How do you know that?"

Spray for Lawns.

Two special nuisances in lawns are
dandelions and plantain. The tests
made at the North Dakota experiment
station have given good results in kill
ing these pests by spraying. 1t requires
persistent work, but if a lawn is spray
ed once each month, or once in six
weeks, the dandeliou is kept completely
in check. AS seeds are blown to great
distance by the wind, the destruction
of the established roots does not insure
future freedom from the pest, but
spraying is the easiest and most effec-
tive method of keeping the dandelion
down which has yet been found. Use
iron sulphate in the proportion of two
pound for each gallon of water. Do
not spray within two days of the time
of cutting and do not cut the grass or
water the lawn for two or three days
after spIaying.
