 Presently factory whistle somewhere blew raul cously and Mrs Hewlett sprang to her feet as at an order Eve got to hurry The boys will be here in few minutes" she said. "Jim Eltons usually home by this time, anyway Since you and Minnie have been here he to beat the sound of the whistle l don't know what hell do when tomorrow comes and you're gone"
 Mrs. Deming laughed unconcernedly. That young man should be attentive to pretty girl was
 fact accustomed to her way of thinking as to be unnoticeable
 Minnie was nineteen and since her earliest school days had failed to have certain number of callow admirers at her heels, with all of whom she had laughed and chummed unconsciously~ as if each had been her own sister. If romance had ever touched her with very fnger-tip she had given no evidence of it.
 Mrs Hewlett pursued the subject, however, as she and Mrs. Deemng laid the long table in the gloomy dning-room.
 Well, he's a real nice fellow and he's got nice parents, too. His father a friend of Georges in Chicago-that's how he happened to come to me for board when they him here take charge of the new steel works He's awful handy around the house, too-does lots of little things that woman can't manage and fathers no more use than an old tomcat"
 "Yes I guess he's real pleasant" agreed Mrs. Deming. q must say he seems as far above those young men from the mill church spire from a fence, though I don't doubt they're good, honest boys. It's been real nice for Minnie to have some- body to take her around little-that trolley ride Electric Grove last night and going to Luna Park Saturday. I was glad she had the chance-but, land I guess he won't miss much you think. Why, they haven't known each other two weeks until to- morrowl I guess there's nothing to worry about
 You'd known Wilbur Deming month to the day you ran of with himl" Mrs. Hewlett retorted

the side of the house itself superb Crimson Ramb- Ter seemed to aunt an audacous defiance to the col orless town. Before this, apparently wrapped in contemplation of its splendor stood this sultry Summer afternoon, a little old man and girl.
 "'Twasn't no more than slip he give me" Father Hewlett's voice, cracked but triumphant rose as he approached the climax of his story. "Nothin more than slip. And look at it now"
 He waved q tremulous hand at the Haunting Ramb- Ter
 The girl drew long, apprecia:'"e breath. One could never have told from the hattering interest with which she followed Father Hewetts story that this was far from her first hearing of the apotheosis of the Crimson Rambler.
 Well, you ought to be proud| she assured him loudly.
 "EhI' said Father Hewlett; he very deaf
 She raised her voice and repeated the compliment, her face flushing with the exertion. She was radiant young creature, ruddy blonde, warm as to tints and generous as to proportions and buoyant with health the type of girl whom one might fancy could stand to symbolze the embryonic mother of a race. There was a look of motherhood now in inc young eyes that looked at the bent old man whose head scarcely reached her shoulder.
 "Well," she called at him, aren't you going to give one?"
 Dunno as I can spare one," he said begrudgingly, and they both laughed
 This was the invarabe game that followed the inspection of the garden and the old delighted in it. He broke of . spray of the Rambler and she tucked it coquettishy in the open neck of her white blouse "There!" she shrieked at him.
 Becomes ye,' he chuckled galantly
 Inside the kitchen window her aunt Mrs. Hew- lett who was also the old mans daughter-in-law, looked out at them disapprovingy above the pan of unshelled peas in her lap. She was little woman with personality that suggested worn-out machin- cry still kept revolving by sheer power of nsstent nerves Her expression seemed to belong to one who was constantly affronted and resented it.

 He does to take sight of comfort in 'em,' said Mrs. Deming placidy. Minnie's mother was large woman ample of heart and body, with face that thirty years ago must have been like her daughters. She bore more resemblance to Mrs Hewlett than full-leaved oak does to a telegraph pole.
 This the first visit she had paid her sister in years, although their homes were less than a days journey part. She had come now more from a of duty than from any pleasure she might de- rive leaving her comfortable home in a cool Con- necticut town for two-weeks stay in a dusty city.

BITTER WAR ON lNTEMPERANCE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY OHEERED.
Wine Drinking Continues.

A very significant indication of the
antagonism of the people of the wine
growing and other parts OF Europe to
the use of wine and other intoxlcat-
ing liquors was shown at the Anti
Alcoholic Congress held in Stock
holm, Sweden, last August. In a
room devoted to al exhibition OF the
vast literature of anti-alcoholism,
where, not counting books, tracts,
leaflets, REPRINTS ETC., over twelve
hundred distinct periodicals pointing
out the danger of drink and adVocat-
ing abstinence were shown. Only
two hundred of these we're printed in
English; the others were chiefly In
the languages of continental Europe,
and most of them emanated from the
wine-producing countries.
This tells the story. The greater
agitation against drink among these
more conservative people but shows
how much greater has BEEF the SUI
fering from the vice than was known
to the world at large. They indicate,
as nothing else could, how terrible
must have been the scourge of the
popular poison in those countries
supposed to be free from the evil Ell
fects of intemperance.
Over fifteen hundred delegates
from all parts of the world, includ-
ing nearly a hundred physicians,
were present at the/great convention.
Governments sent representatives,
and the almost universal cry was
"prohibition."
From The Journal of Mental Path
ology we learn that the French, Ital-
ian, Swiss, Russian and German ma
lions are keenly alive to the danger
of alcoholic intemperance- i
The marked sensitiveness on this
subject is not the result of fanaticism,
but of acts brought to light by clint
cal observation. These Investigations
show that mental, moral and physi-
cal deterioration among these people
Is due to intemperance more than any
other cause, alcoholism of the parent
producing ~degeneracy Of the off,
spring.
For this reason the governments OF
these countries have been actively con-
cerned in the propaganda of popular
temperance. Russia is trying to sup
plant the thirst for alcohol by opening
soup and tea houses for the poor.
France is fighting her a~nti-alcoholic
battles with lectures. Germany Is
attempting the same reform by dras-
tic legal enactment. Sweden and
Norway, after years Of governmental
control of the sale Of liquor, and with
good results, are now agitating for
its complete abolition; and Finland,
by an overwhelming majority, de-
cided to prevent the manufacture of
alcoholic beverages within its bor-
ders, and prohibits its importation
from other countries. The Socialist
party in Germany, at its recent Ma
tional Congress at Essen, placed it.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE
WAVES OF LIFE.
An Amazing Discovery by a
Partisan Seareher After the
Psychic.

An Amazing Discovery by a
Partisan Seareher After the
Psychic.
Many interesting articles have been
written of late about the spirit-world,
but assuredly Vance Thompson, in
his vivid contribution, ION the Trail
OF the Ghost" has found some things,
new and startling, which surpass all
previous magazine contributions. This
remarkable work appears in Hamp-
tons Magazine. Speaking, for in
stance, of DR.. Baraduc, the we'll
known inventor of a system of radio
photography, Mr.. Thompson says:
DR.. Baraduc's son, Andre, a youth
of twenty, died last year of consump-
ton. Radio-photography showed a
deep liberation Of the lungs. 1t
showed moreover the shudder OF
his entire being as death took him.
The third day, eighty hours after
death, while the body lay in the cof-
fin, a curious photograph was taken.
In it could be seen the dispersal of
; the fuids-to keep to the doctors
pbrase-of the bodily envelope. In
, billowy waves they rolled through
the chamber of the dead, beating
against the living flesh Of those who
watched there. The shock of these
waves as they spread through the
room was felt by the watchers-the
Able H, Madame Julie and DR..
Baraduc himself. What radio-pho-
Biography did not record in this case
was the Mental Ball.
Three months later Madame Bara-
due died very quietly. She had never
recovered from the loss of her son..
Death took her at two o'clock on an
October afternoon. Twenty minutes
later the first photograph was made,
showing three fluidic clouds drifting
+ away from her body; and, as well, the
curious s%erpentine filament, or lien.
More significant was the death pho
tog.aph itself, which showed the for
nation of the Mental Ball, at the
moment yelling the face. The lien,
coiled on itself, had the shape Of a
figure s. In a little while it passed
away. The mysterious globe-call it
what you will-had gone otherwhere.
At one moment the eyes of the sensi-
tive might see it, the film take a rec
ord of it; then it was not-as the
lightning fash which passes, leaving
darkness.
Spherical, gyratory, luminous; in
these words DR.. Baraduc describes
the Boule Mentale. And this descrip-
ton is the result of long investiga-
ton, in many lands, among many
races of men.
1T is in Scotland" DR.. Baraduc
says, that this globe is most readily
iiscerned-there, and in Indo-China.
The most interesting one of which I
have a record is that of w. T. Stead,
the English publicist. In his Mental
Ball there is distinctly traceable the
beginning of a star formation"
