Harry Sanderson.
Tonight as he wended his way past
the house in the aspens, through the
clatter and commotion of the evening
there was a kind of glaze over his
whole face-a shell of melancholy.
Tomorrow began Harry's summeI
vacation. and he had planned a
months pedestrian outing through the
wide ranch valleys and the farther
ranges, and this should set him up
again.
Now, however, as he walked along
he was bitterly absorbed in thoughts
other than his own needs. He passed
more than n acquaintance with o
stare of nonrecognition. One of these
was the bishop, who turned an instant
to look after him. The bishop had seen
that look frequently of late and had
wondered if it betokened physical Ill
ness or mental unquiet. More than
once he had remembered, with a sigh.
the old whisper of Harry Sanderson's
early wildness. But he knew youth
and its lapses, and he liked and re
spected him. Only two days before,
on the second anniversary of Harry's
ordination, he had given him for his
silken watch guard a little gold cross
engraved with his name and contain
ing the date.
At a crossing the sight of a knot OF
people on the opposite side of the
street awoke Harry from his abstrac
ton. They had gathered around a per
ipatetic street preacher, who was hold

on a short pole hung a dripping gaso

MAGIC GLASS.
A Curious Mirror That May Be Made
TRANSPARENT.

One of the most curious inventions
Of this age is what Is called platinized
glass. A piece of glass is coated with
an exceedingly thin layer of a liquid
charged with platinum and then raised
to a red heat. The platinum becomes
united to the glass in such a way as
to form an odd kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet If n places it
against a wall and looks at it he sees
his image as In an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, as when it is placed in a window,
it appears perfectly transparent, like
ordinary glass.
By constructing a window of plati-
niZed glass M could stand close be-
hind the panes in an unilluminate6
room and behold clearly everything
going on outside, while passersby look
ing at the window would behold only
a fine mirror or set of mirrors in which
their own figures would be reflected,
while the person inside remained in
visible.
In France various tricks have been
contriyed with the aid of this glass.
In one a person, seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror, approaches
1t to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change In the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back,
whereupon it instantly becomes trans
parent, and the startled spectator finds
himself confronted by some grotesque
figure that had been hidden behind the
magic glass.-New York Tribune.

down and had returned as he set out,
gloomy, unrequited. a follower of baf-
fed quest.
Set back from the street in a wide
estate of trees and shrubbery stood a
great white porched house. Not a
light had twinkled from it for nearly a
year. The little city had wondered at
first, then by degrees had grown indif-
ferent. The secret of that prolonged
honeymoon Harry Sanderson and the
bishop alone could have told, for the
bishop knew of Hugh's criminal act.
He was named executor of the will
that lay in the Korean chest, and him
David Stires had written the truth
His heart had gone out with pity for
Jessica, and understanding. The secret
he locked in his own breast, as did
Harry Sanderson, each thinking the
other ignorant of 1t.
Since that wedding day no shred of
news had come to either. Harry had
wished for none. To think of Jessica
was a recurrent pang, and yet the very
combination Of the safe In his study
he had formed of the letters Of her
namei In each memory of her he felt
the fresh assault of a new and tireless
foe-the love which he must deny.

He lifted his hand. 1t was trembling.

by the cards. Harry. and for every day
you win I'll walk a chalk line. so help

Harry Sanderson sat down. He emp
tied one of the bags at his elbow and
pushed the box of waters across the
table. He shufied the cards swiftly
and cut.
"Your dealt" he said.
