 Which totally unexpected incident aroused her apprehension to such an extent that she immediately, not to say precipitately, arose from her sit ting posture and departed from the To- cality, leaving the intruder in undis- puted possession of the apartment.

logs and the small lumber that has gone to the European market in re. cent years, the demand for it has fall. en off and it has been supplanted by mahogany.
 There are other reasons why ma. hogany has taken the place of wal. nut. Mahogany is 30 per cent cheap. CT in Europe than walnut. It is much larger, too. Walnut logs from which segments four inches thick may be cut are scarce, and walnut logs from which such segments 26 feet long may be cut are almost impossible to get now.
 Another factor in the disappearance of walnut lumber Is that mahogany is much softer and easier to cut The Sheffield mill can cut 35.000 feet of mahogany day, but 1t will cut only 10000 feet of walnut. A mahogany log will cut nearly three times as much lumber as a walnut log of the same size, and therefore 1t Is more economical to cut mahogany. Although mahogany Is taking the place of walnut over all the world, it is not nearly so good as walnut There is no wood so good as walnut for hne furniture and cabinet work The req. son is that it is hard, 1t will never it has a more varied and beautiful grain and the older 1t grows the rich, CT 1t looks.
 Instead of being sawed into boards and posts the walnut will hereafter be cut into veneers not much thicker than piece of plotting paper. and it Is only the gnarled trunks that will do for this.
 Circassian walnut, which Is much used for veneers and costs more than the American black walnut, is not nearly so rich in color and grain It comes from the Ural mountains in Russia. It is becoming exhausted, too. and Is very high in price. The wood of the gum tree that grows in the swamps of Arkansas and elsewhere is used as an imitation and substitute for Circassian walnut. It is so nearly llhc IL that oLly dH ShPCil Sdh otlcCt the difference. Millions of feet of gum logs are shipped every year to Europe and there cut into veneers and polished and sent back to America and sold at a high price for genuine Circassian walnut.
 In hundreds of homes in Missouri walnut wood is still used for fire wood. But when a man burns walnut lumber he is truly burning money. for while the market price of the logs is less now than it was ten years ago and the demand is less, there is a time coming when the lumber will be worth 20 times what it Is now When the walnut trees that are now a foot in diameter grow to several feet through they will be worth more than any timber that grows in North Amer ica. There will always be a good de. mand for timber of that size and the larger the tree the more value it will have
