would find a way TO trace her mysteri-
Gus whereabouts. although these new dis
coyeries might be but the prelude to a
new series of complications. The end
was nearer. tragcally nearer, than Gideon
Hope fancied.
1t was an uncanny hour when. torn by
briers and mud despatched and bruised

town of Murryville.
At the hotel, a light burned only IN
the Office. where half slumbered the tired
night clerk.

women Outstrip Men.

Women clerks outnumber the men
clerks in the Census Bureau and are
outstripping the men in the race for
promotion, which is awarded on the
merit" system. This takes into con-
sideration the amount and quality of
the work performed, attention to duty,
interest in the work, especial aptitude
shown and attendance. Under this
careful scrutiny the women have begun
to crowd out the men. OF the 531 cler-
zeal employees, 291 are women, and in
the last list for promotion there is
not the name Of single man. Thirty
OF the 531 employees are regarded as
dead wood and more than half Of
them are men.

Low Sewing Chair.

A woman who sews a great deal OF
the time has found that her back does
not become so tired If her chair Is
low, or If she has stool upon which
to rest her feet. 1t is surprising what
a difference the comfortable position
makes and how much more work she
can do.
Should the arms become weary, she
puts a cushion in her lap. On this
she rests her elbows, changing the posi-
ton of her sewing, thus giving both
arms and eyes a chance to recover.

One cold, wintry morning, says a
writer in the Argonaut, n man of tall
and angular build was walking down 4
steep hill Mt a brisk pace. A piece OF
ice under the snow caused him to sliT

to slide. and was unable to stop.
At a crossing half way down he en-
countered a large. heavy woman. The
meeting was sudden, and before either
realized 1t collision ensued, and boil

underneath, the fat woman on top.
When the bottom Of the Hill was
reached, and the woman was trying Z,

boiling 200 EgC. at Once.

If one would be familiar with all the
latest electrical novelties, he must
make n tour of the kitchen Of q big
Atlantic liner. The automatic egg
boilers. like those on the Lusitania and
Mauretania. are able to cook 200 eggs
at once, a clock arrangement causing
the basket containing the eggs to hop
out of the water at any half minute up
to six minutes. Another novelty is
self-dumping oyster cooker for stews.
At the expiration of a given time the
cooker pours its contents into a soup
plate and automatically shuts of the
