CHAPTER XVIII.

Nurse Meyrick was sleeping on a couch
In the dressing room. 1t had been placed
so near the dor Of communication that
she had full view of her patient. He
had Just sunk into a tranquil doze and
she had followed his example, when a
faint sound, like an opening door, reused
her, and a moment after she caught a
GLIMPSE of a white-robed figure with long,
fair hair young girl in loose dress
ing gown was standing by Mr.. Merle's
bed. Nurse Meyrick's quick eyes discern
ed that one arm was bandaged and in
splints. 1t must be the young lady, she
thought, who had been injured in the ac-
cident perhaps she was light headed.
The next minute she touched her softly.
Come, my dear, come" she said coax
ingly; you ought not to be out of your
bed at this time of night; let me help you
back, there's dear young lady" for Mis-
sizes wide, feverish eyes alarmed her

from the nurses gentle touch. 81 could
not stay in bed, l could not sleep until
had seen papa. Let me stay and look al
him; will be good and not wake him.
But the nurse shook her head at this.
''You must not stay" she whispered
not daring to raise her voice; your fee
are bare, and You look as bad as possible
Come, my dear, let me carry you back tt
your room; it will scare your father t.

mo, no." returned Missile, shrinking

dead? No one told me he was dead
Papa p she cried out, for she was be
wildered by the dim light and her owl
feverish fancies. Speak to me only on
word, just to tell me you are alive"
"Oh, hush !" exclaimed the nurse; bu
she was too late. Mr.. Merle woke up
but In his weak condition his daughter
presence did not seem to startle him.
'My DEAR" he said, feebly; 'they ough
not to have allowed this. You will max

the exterior of the house is OF con-
crete panels. The concrete paneis ule
but one inch in thickness, and DeslueS

enough to bear an immense weight ne
panels are REINFORCED with strips OF
steel wire, and in the tests applleu "
them they withstood the strain OF three
heavy men jumping up and down upon
rhem and showed no sign OF INJURY
They are ornamented on the OUTSIDE
with raised figures, scroll work, etc.
from steel ceiling designs. The panelS
we're modelled in wooden frames on a
base consisting Of a strip of steel cell
ing. by means of which the decorative
design was transferred to the cement
giving the panels an attractive appear

the concrete panel comes flush with

This is accomplished by filling the
forms partially with sawdust or otheI

Destruction by Rntu.

There are those who declare that
nothing is created in vain, and that
rats and mice are in some way a benefit
TO mankind. 1t is hard to see lust
how. The statistlclan of the Agricul-
tural Bureau at Washington computes
that they create $15,OOOOOO damage a
year. That is the real money damage,
saying nothing Of the annoyance. AS
an offset, the rat catchers of the world
sell about S1,0O0,0OO worth of skins Der
year, and the furriers work them and
sell them for five times that sum. II
Is estimated that full-grown rat will
tat six bushels Of corn per year.

Injunctions that she was to keep her sis

impossible to check the storm of excited
talk Mabel's only relief was to accuse
herself, and put all her conduct in its

misery lay on her mind she felt her own

she could bear. Every hour she ques-

INSPIRING SCENE
AT O'fERRALL'S
Fall Opening Perfectly Conceived anc
ArtisticaIIy Executed-Musie and
Beauty There.

An inspiring and beautiful scene in
deed was presented last night a
! OFerralrs when this large and popu
lar establishment made its first show
ing of fall and winter styles. AS thc
hundreds of visitors first enterd :
sigh of gratified surprise and pleas
ure went up from almost every voice
ana this audible expression of com
mendation was well merited.
The entire opening was perfectly
conceived and perfectly executed. II
Keeping with the season, Mr.. Collins
the manager, had prepared an autumn
scene. Frost touched leaves and
BOWS, sheathes of rustling grain, grace
fui' waving ferns and palms were
combined with true artists touch ano
formed a background for the rich
draperies. the handsome tapestries,
the gowns of finest texture. and those
perfect creations of the milliners
art that won the covetous glance OF
every woman who entered the portals
of the establishment.
Amid this scene of richness and
beauty, to the strains of sweet music
wandered the handsome danes and
damsels of Ta,Iesburg, forming them
selves a sight worth seeing, for this
was social occasion and Hatties.
b-:g's fair women We're out in theil
finest array. Could the most exact.
ing eye ask more of pleasure than fair
women amid fair scene, with all the
accessories which inspire ones ideas
OF the beautiful and the artistic.
But not alone on the lower floo,
OF the establishment had the decora
tor spent his art. The second floor
with its wealth of beautiful hats. was
equally as worthy of praise and ad
miration. The autumn decorations
prevailed here also, and in addition
to these and the colored lights the Wis
itor was welcomed by large gilded
globe, lighted within, and displaying
in prominence the words Greetings
Two cupids, just escaped from the
globe, and held from their celestial
flight by crimson ribbons, held out
their chubby arms as if bidding all a
hearty welcome.
