I goin' mek for you myself one ami sette and one cafe royale yer fine. An! I lak treat my fen nize. Yes. Plis come in this way"
 Madame led them into the little back room, into which she sometimes in- vited the especially favored of her GUS toner's In two comfortable arm- chairs, by a big window that opened upon the courtyard. she placed them, with a low table between. Bustling hosp1tably about, she began to pre- pare the promised refreshments.
 It was the first time the reporters had been honored with admission to the sacred precincts. The room was in dusky twilight, flecked with gleams of the polished fine woods and bur nished glass and metal that the Gre oles love. From the little courtyard tiny fountain sent In an insinuat- ing sound of trickling waters, to which banana plant by the window kept time with it's tremulous leaves.
 Robbins, an investigator by nature, sent curious glance rowing about the room. From some barbaric ancestor, madame had inherited a penchant for the crude in decoration.
 The walls were adorned with cheap Autographs libels upon nature, addressed to the taste of the bour- geoise- birthday cards, garnish news paper supplements and specimens of art-advertisins calculated to reduce the optic nerve to stunned submis- sion. A patch of something unintelli- gible in the midst of the more candid display puzzled Robbins and he rose and took step nearer, to interrogate 1t at closer range. Then he leaned weakly against the wall, and called out:

IN THE MATTER OF DREAMS
Writer Rebels Against Universal Dics tum That They Must Never Be
 Related.

In the house in which I was brought should not be told at the breakfast table-a rule which, to my mind, robbed the meal of it's only possible interest. 1 still remember an impress sion of the lawn massed with yellow lions which I desired particularly to share. The table was a large one, seating three generations, and I gained the idea it was on account of the prophetic character of the dreams of certain great-aunt that the prohi- bition was so vigorously enforced. But l know better now. We were forbid den to tell our dreams because dreams even more than the love of William Blake-"never may be told" They are among the incommunicable ex- perlences. Just as young painter Is taught not to portray a luminary or canvas, so a child must be taught not to describe it's dreams. Better relate the dullest true story than the most thrilling dream. Is it that our audi ences are so in love with reality? Is 1t that the isolation of dream, which may neither be shared nor reacted. leaves the listeners egotism cold? do not know, but at the mere words. Il dreamt," you may see your auditors attention dissolve-neither at his will nor your own-like mist before tLe sun.
 Now, is not this strange, when yoQ consider how deeply dreams color the days of even the sanest of us; how in dreams we commune with the dead. love strangers, marry our enemies. fight and die have, in short, all the adventures of life in it's most poignant moods? Yet not even our nearest and dearest will lend us their ears.
 Do we merely need more art? Must we seek only some method to hold that dissolving attention until the full radiance of the vision can be sketched out? Or must we all i'm prove in sort of psychological fmag- nation? Or is it. as I am inclined to think, that something inherent in the experience itself makes it remote. and that as we must die alone, so we must dream alone too?-From Point of View" in Scribner's.

 No one else bidding, the statue was knocked down to the syndicate at their last offer. Dumars remained with the prize, while Robbins hurried forth to wiring from the resources and credit of both the price. He soon returned with the money, and the two musketeers loaded their precious package into a carriage and drove with 1t to Dumars' room, in old Char tres street, nearby. They lugged it, covered with cloth, up the stairs, and deposited it on a table. A hun dred pounds it weighed, if an ounce, and at that estimate, according to their calculation, if their daring theory was correct, it stood there. worth twenty thousand golden dol lars.
 Robbins removed the covering, and opened his pocketknife.
 "Sacre!" muttered Dumars, shudder ing 'It is the Mother of Christ. What would you do?"

ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON FARMS
Morning Chores Are Done in Kansas by the Aid of Electricity-An
 Up-to-Date Sod House.

Within ten years electricity will light majority of the farm homes and country schools and churches of Kansis, it is predicted. Farm homes lighted with electricity are now num- bered by hundreds.
 With the general use of the gaso- line engine this has been made pos sible. Electric light and power con- panies in several of the cities are also making plans by which they can sup ply farmers with current from their trunk lines.
 notable case of this sort is found at Manhattan, where the power for electric generation Is furnished by a dam on the Big Blue river, four miles from the city
 The current generated Is used for electric lighting and street car pur- poses in the city of Manhattan, and farmers living near the trunk line are using it in their residences, barns and feed lots In the early morning hours when the farmers feed and care for their stock and do the milking, cleo tric lights are found to be very useful.
 In rich farming community ten miles north of Atchison the farmers have decided to have an electric light plant of their own. They will build a

 That afternoon. at five minutes to three, Robbins entered the chapel door of the Little Sisters of Samaria. He saw. in the dim light a crowd of perhaps a hundred people gathered to attend the sale. Most of them were members of various religious or ders, priests and churchmen. come to purchase the paraphernalia of the chapel lest they fall into desecrating hands. Others were business men and agents come to bid upon the real ty. A clerical-looking brother had volunteered to wield the hammer, bringing to the office of auctioneer the anomaly of choice diction and dig nifty of manner
 A few of the minor articles were sold. and then two assistants brought forward the image of the Virgin.
 Robbins started the bidding at ten dollars. A stout man, in an ecclesias- tical garb went to fifteen. A voice from another part of the crowd raised to twenty The three bid alternately raising by bids of five, until the offer was fifty dollars. Then the stout man dropped out, and Robbins, as a sort of coup de main, went to a hundred
 "One hundred and fifty" said the other voice.
 Two hundred" bid Robbins, boldly

 Several farmers living ten miles; west of Atchison have small dypamos, on their farms providing electric light for their homes, barns and dairy buildings.
 Recently the town of Troy, forty miles north of Atchison, contracted for light from the Atchison plant. A, trunk line wire was stretched between the two places, and now twenty-five. farmers along the route are connect ing their homes with this trunk line.
 Near Garden City, which a few years ago was in the center or the great American desert, there are farms where all the buildings are made of cement concrete and each is lighted with electricity generated by a gasoline engine on the place.
 The early pioneer way of living and the modern system are blended on one. farm. A farmer is still living in sod. house built quarter of a century ags. He is constructing new and upIty date home in which he has installed a gasoline engine with which to gen. crate electricity for lighting.
 He will not move out of the old sod house until March next because of it's warmth and comfort in winter, but he is enjoying electric lights in that prim- itive dwelling It Is believed this is the only instance in which sod house has been lighted by electricity.

With the history of the missing money thus partially related some conjecture may be formed of the sudden idea that Madame Tibault's words seemed to have suggested to Robbins brain.
 Was it so wild a surmise-that the religious fanatic had offered up his wealth-or, rather, Madame Tibault's in the shape of a material symbol of his consuming devotion? Stranger things have been done in the name of worship. Was it not possible that the lost thousands were molded into that lustrous image? That the gold smith had formed it of the pure and precious metal, and set it there, through some hope of a perhaps dis

Killed Limit of Deer on One Shot.
 In the recent deer hunting season in Michigan at least three Upper Pe- ninsula men were successful in fill. ing their licenses as the result of a single shot. Sheriff Turnbull of Luce county was one of these. Two deer were standing together. The sheriff fired at one, the ball passing through it's body and killing the other animal also

 Professor Hill, superintendent of schools at Crystal Falls, is the third man who bagged two deer with one shot. One of his trophies was a dead deer, however. The animals had been engaged in battle, during which their antlers had become interlocked and one of the combatants was dead. Professor Hill shot the living animal St. Louis Globe e-Democrat.
