CHAPTER VIII,
The Coming Of Mrs. Craighil1.

MY promptness deserves q better
cause" exclaimed Mrs. Blair as she step
ped from her motor at the entrance TO the
railway station. where Wayne in his
fathers car had arrived but a moment
earlier. Mrs. Blair had brought down her
two children, and these in their smart fall
coats were still protesting against the
haste with which they had been snatched
from their beds and dressed in their Sun
day clothes: but their faces frightened
at the sight of their uncle, upon whom
they fell DANGEROUSLY with demand to
be taken into the train sheds to see the
locomotives. Wayne was more amiable
than his sister had seen him since their
father gave the first warning of his mar
riage. He chaffed the children and prom
lSed to take them to foot ball game the
next Saturday if they would let him off
as to the engines; and when they were
appeased he held up for his sisters in
spection the morning papers. with their
hrst-page account of the marriage in New
York the preceding day.
Simplicity marked all the arrange
ments,' he read. Only the brides
mother and the necessary witnesses were
present-dined very quietly at Sherry's-
scarce noted in the fashionable throng of
the great dining rOOm-Col. Craighills pri-

Mrs. Craighill and a view of the Craighill
home.
The picture of the house evoked an ex-
clamation of disgust from Mrs. Blair.
'.Oh, Wayne, they might have spared
us that. The house-it hurts worse than
anything else. It's sacrilege-it isn't
fair"
Wayne folded the paper and thrust it
into his pocket to get it out of her sight
Now, Sis, you've got to cheer up.
You're looking butler than ever this
morning. Those clothes must have eaten
a hole in Johns check book. It's rather
nasty of John not to come down and face
the music with YOU"
John couldn't; be simply couldn't" she
declared, defensively.
Wouldn't, you mean, John Blair is
not a man to get up to meet his wife's
it. But the kids help out lot. They're
a charming feature of the morning. You
ought to have taught them to sing a
carol and scatter flowers as grandpa
comes through the gates leading their
new grandmamma by the hand. 1t would
have been nuts for those reporters over
there with the camera men,
No: you don't mean that they are
here"' she gasped.

and two women waiting near the news
stand. They carried cameras and We're

From the Lancet.
A curious fallacy has been going the
rounds of q certain political squabbling
this week to the effect that the term
'black bread implies kind of famine
food, whereas in several civilized coun-
tries 1t is just as much the staple and
normal article OF diet as is our white loaf.
There is very little difference between the
loaf. In some respects rye represents
certain advantages over wheat. and in
others wheat may be better than rye.
Rye contains rather greater percentage
of soluble carbohydrates than wheat, but
somewhat less gluten, although the total
protein matters amount to the same in
both fours. Chemical analysis shows
very trifing differences OF composition
between the two cereals.
One distinct advantage of rye bread il
that it keeps fresh longer than wheat
bread. Rye bread also has distinct laxa-
tive properties. Pumpernfckel. or whole
rye bread. is more laxative than schwarz-

coarseness of texture II is an interesting
fact that when once the flavor of rye
bread is appreciated ordinary white bread

MARRIAGE AFTER DEATH

The marriage is reported of two
dead lovers from the Japanese village
of Shizuoka. A young couple fell in
love, and sought their parents sane
ton to their union. For some reason
this was withheld in the case of the
girl, and the broken-hearted couple
resolved to commit shinju rather than
be separated.
The two embarked on fishing boat
and when some distance from the
shore bound themselves together with
cloth brought with them for the pur-
pose, and threw themselves into the
sea. The following morning the
couple were missed from their homes,
and the matter was communicated to
the police. Later on the bodies of the
young couple were washed ashore,
and after the official examination,
delivered to the parents. On learning
of the tragedy, the mayor of the viii
lage was much affected, and calling
upon the bereaved parents, proposed
that the wedding ceremony be per
formed over the dead bodies, so that
the deceased might be united in the
other world The parents agreed, and
the ceremony wss carried out in due
form, even to the exchange of presents
between the two families.

RALEIGH'S BIG GRAPE VINE

Visitors to Roanoke Island never

the largest in the world. that is known
as Sir Walter Raleigh's grape vine.
1t was planted by Raleigh's party,
which settled in Roanoke Island, n.
c., more than 300 years ago. The ad-
venturers left England on April q,
1884 with the following charter from
Queen Elizabeth: Power is hereby
given to Raleigh and his assigns by
the queen freely to search for and &C.
cupy and enjoy for ever such remote
and barbarous lands not possessed by
any Christian people as to him might
seem good He is at liberty to take
with him to such lands and leave
there for inhabitants as many of the
bushes" and so forth The immense
scuppernong grape vine, with stem
larger round than a mans body, is an
interesting relic of the past, and bears
fruit abundantly.

NOTABLE ENGINEERING FEAT

Recently a notable piece of engi-
neering work was achieved in San
Francisco, while the demolition of the
old city hall was in progress. Be
tween the violent earthquake and the
fearful fire of April, 1906, the building
was practically reduced to a mass Of
ruins. So it was determined to rae
the shattered structure and construct
a new and modern hall
Surmounting the lofty dome huge
statue of the Goddess of Liberty has
perched for more than twenty years
past. The statue escaped unscathed
both the heavy shock and fire. This
immense metal statue is nearly TWEEN
ty feet in height and, with the pedes-
tai, to which it is firmly attached,
weighs about three tons. From the
ground up to the pedestal the distance
is about $50 feet, and to the apex of
the Goddess, is $40 feet.
AS it was very much desired to
take down the huge statue undam-
aged and to place it in Golden Gate
park, as public souvenir of the great
disaster, the contracting firm under
took to bring it to earth without dam
age. This proved a difficult and peril

down, unchanged, 5000 pounds Of
metal from a height of $40 feet was
a ponderoUs task. However, the work
was done very successfully. By means
of system of derricks. steel cables.
tackle, etc, operated by several
donkey engines, the big statue was
loosened from its firm anchorage on
the dome's crest. and gradually low

without the slightest accident to the
statue, or to the force of men engaged
in the task. Engineers declare that
