places of this young mans nature;
and her feelings were lacerated by
the thought-"Was this the case with
Tom also? Have l never entered
the holy places of even my own
husbands"
What had she known of Tom? Many
things. She had known exactly what
he liked to eat and drink. She
had known what persons he pre-
ferred as guests. She had known
his bodily constitution minutely-what
degree of east wind necessitated a
thicker vest, and how much stimu-
liant would provoke gout. She could
have told you how he would vote at
any election, and his views upon
crops and labor and landlordism.
But, within the automaton who did
these things-who lay down at her
side at night, and uprose in the
morning-who came regularly to his
meals, and went to church every
Sunday, wet or fine, though he would
have fiercely rejected his churchs

ing, or days of obligation-some
| where inside this creature who did
all things from a lifelong habit,
there lived in darkness and solitude
an immortal soul.
And this soul, which she had never
known-this ego, kept in the dark
and starved-had it sometimes walked
and cried in him, and found none
to answer? For the iirst time, his
widow wondered.
For she was now told that inside
Jem, the taciturn fellow of regular
habits, whose comings and goings
she never questioned. there lived a
man whom she knew not-a man
susceptible to the temptations of
sex. Women of Mrs. Bardsley s
school always assume that the men
of their own kind do not feel these
| temptations.
If Jem craved the society of young
women, what had she ever done for
him? There were no young women
in the near neighborhood, except
the almost child, Selma. And now

sweet and sound nature might have
caused permanent souring.
Tom and she got on extremely well.
Like many country couples, their
lives were not spoiled by the too
close proximity which London life
entails. They had the open air, their
large house, their own pursuits. He
left the indoor management to his
capable wife, and himself superin-
tended everything out of doors, ex-
cept the garden, their joint delight.
They were both benevolent, unimagi-
native people, liking comfort, yet
Industrious and full of energy. They
agreed we'll on those small details
which are of such Importance, as
forming the sum of everyday life.
Upon deeper things, or higher, they
never touched.
From time to time, during his un-
cle's lifetime, Jem had been their
guest. He had spent his summer hol-
idays at Carronlea as a boy In
looks and build he was so like his
uncle that he might have passed for
his son; and when she was left
a widow-a deeply disconsolate, and
truly bereaved woman-Emma Bards-
ley determined to take the motherless
Jem to fill her husbands place about
the farm of which he had been so
proud.
But there were differences between
the uncle and nephew which, invisible
at the surface, went very deep.
Tom Bardsley; had not been a well,
educated man. He had lived in a
day when boys were sent to small
and often inferior private schools,
and taught practically nothing. But
the education of James, his dead
brothers child, had been his own
care; and Jem was a public school
and university bred man. He had all

its; but he had also a fierce, almost
morbid temper, and a vein of some
tlhing-call it poetry. ideality, what
you will-which neither his uncle
nor his aunt recognized, nor would
have understood.
His aunt and he got on in much

ner in which she and her husband
had gone through life together. In
all points where there was any
contact, the agreement was perfect

straw braid and velvet has the side

notes in millinery. The dainty stock is
embroidered with the smart French
knot. while the iabot is edged with
ventse lace. The coat, cut on the ac-
cepted straight lines, comes just lit
tie below the hips and is profusely gar
nished with silk braid and very large
buttons. The sailor style. supplemented
with large revers, is seen on the collar
The skirt recalls the models of five
years ago with its paneled front and
side plaits. The touches of satin and
the large buttons bring it up to date
Suede shoes with rounded toes. a neat
parasol matching the dress and white
suede gloves complete this smart out
fit.
In nearly all the new suits the IA

the wide braid, which sometimes forms

Panels of braid coming down the
front end back of the jacket and con-
tinued in the same way on the skirt
are distinctly the thing.
Narrow braid is also very smart,
especially when worked out in orna-

A touch of color Is added by orr

this, and it is not allowed to become

FREAK SHADOWS.
A Peculiar Phenomenon That Has a
Simple Explanation.

I
In the crude oil producing regions in
California there are scores of large,
ponds Of this material. After being
pumped to the surface the petroleum
Is emptled into depressons in the
earth. where 1t remains for time.
Later the crude oil is placed in bar
rels, In large metal cans or else in big
reservoirs. These oil ponds are known
as stump holes"
There is one peculiar thing about
these "sump holes" and that is in the
way of producing what are known as
freak shadows" These are real
shadows. but Notwithstanding this fact
they are decidedly "freaky" If the
sun is brightly shining and a per
son stands for few moments on the
margin of the "sump hole" so that
his shadow falls on the surface Of the
petroleum and he then quickly changes
his position the dim shadow remains
just where 1t was originally cast. In
other words. the shadow does not
follow the substance"
This may seem like paradox, but It
Is true. The instant person shifts
his position his shadow Is again cast
In new place. yet the former shadow
remains unchanged. The longer a
person stands In one particular spot
the longer will the former shadow be
visible.
Hundreds of experiments have been
made along these lines. and every time
the same results have been produced
The simple explanation for this phe-
nomenon is that under the hot sun
gas is being constantly generated
down in the body of the petroleum,
and 1t rises to the surface In the form
Of little minute bubbles. SO very
small are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye. Mil
lions of these wee bubbles are rising
to the top all the time, when the
bubbles break and the gas is liberated,
passing into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are so
very representative to the temperature
that even ones shadow cast for a
moment across them is affected The
temperature is lowered. Whenever the
substance quickly changes position the
shadow remains until the rays again
warm up that spot and the shadowy
outline slowly fades away. or course
the freak shadow" may be seen for
only very few seconds. Scientific
