Simple SILK Frocks.

Particularly interesting are the lit.
tie frocks Of silk which are displayed
in a great variety of models. One of
these, seen in one of the fashionable
shops, was in a checked silk of a red
dish mulberry tone, white and black.
with a coat of black silk, whose huge
revers and turnback cuffs were Of the
check. There was not a touch Of
elaboration. The straight skirt. mod

folds. was fulled slightly at the high
waist line, the fullness being laid in
little plaits around the sides and back.

CHAPTER XIII. (continued.)

But what the cook had told about
Bella and Jimmy was not divulged,
for the HARRISON man caught him up
with jerk and sent Flanagan, grum-
bling, with his rugs to the roof.
1t did not seem possible to carry on
the deception much longer. but If
things were bad now, what would they
be when Aunt Selma learned she had
been lied to, made ridiculous, general
ly deceived? And how would l be
able to live in the house with her
when she did know? Luckily, every
one was so puzzled over the mystery
In the house that numbers of little
things that would have been absolute
ly damning were never noticed at all
For instance, my asking Jimmy at
luncheon that day If he took cream in
his coffee! And Max coming to the
rescue by dropping his watch in his
glass of water, and creating diver
sion and giving every body an oppor-
tunity to laugh by saying not to mind.
It had been in soak before.
Just after luncheon Aunt Selma
brought me some undergarments of
Jir1's to be patched. She explained at
length that he had always worn out
his undergarments, because he always
squirmed around so when he was sit
ting. And she showed me how to lay
one Of the garments over a pillow to
get the patch in properly.
It was the most humiliating moment
of my life. but there was no escape.
took my sewing to the roof, while she
went away to find something else for
me to do when that was finished. and
sat with the thing on my knee and
stared at It. while rebellious tears
rolled down my cheeks. The patch
was not the shape Of the hole at all,
and every time took stitch sewed
1t fast to the pillow beneath. It was
terrible. Jim came up after a while
and sat down across from he and
watched. without saying anything.

been proper to say to me- We had
both reached the point where ade-
quate language failed us. Finally he
said:

thread.

dicated the garment over the pillow,
and he wiggled. please don't
squirm," I said coldly. You will wear
out your-lingerie. and l will have to
mend them"
He sat very still for FIVE minutes,
when l discovered that had put the
patch in crosswise instead Of length
wise and that It would not fit. As
5erked 1t out he sneezed.
"Oh. sneeze." added venomously.

thing queer about him." she added In
a portentous whisper.
Anne stiffened.
"He Is perfect" she declared. "Of

geous, handsome, clever-what more
do you ask?"

man should be what he says he Is.
Anne and both stared.

went on, who tried to escape from
the house by putting board across
to the next roof"
Il don't believe It," said Anne. you

it."

was triumphant.

STOVES OF IRON.
They Superseded the Roman Stuba In
the Eiahteenth Century.


A heating apparatus called a 'stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class of Romans before the be-
ginning of the Christian era This
class of heaters was fixed and immova-
bic, besides being in several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
via they were used in bathrooms and
hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of brick,
stone or tile and were of immense size.
They sometimes covered the whole
side of a twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
as much as ten feet, in which case the
smooth, fiat top was used for a bed
stead. the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling of warmth during
those cold nights Of long ago when
such things as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per-
haps the first to attempt the construc-
ton of stove wholly of iron, this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman "stuba' was
brought about by Franklin in the year
l145 One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner. almost perfect and
model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1S3O.-LondOn

Wordsworth made TO ceremony over
the visit of the NAN from far land.
but said instantly when he was called
to greet him, IF you are interested in
my poetrr perhaps rou will like to
hear these lines" Emerson politely
agreed. and this is what happened.
Emerson has himself written the story

and repeated with great animation an

A THRILLING RIDE,
Flight Of Fast Mail Train to Mako Up
Lost Time

When the first really fast mail be
tween Omaha and San Francisco reach
ed Evanston. Wyo., at the foot of the
Wasatch mountains. it was fifty min
utes late. There it was met by a pow
erful engine in charge of reckless en-
gineer, Bill Downing by name. Cap
tain James E. White, ex-superintend
ent of the railway mail service, tells ir
his "reminiscences how Bill made uI
the fifty minutes.
The distance to Ogden is seventy-siS
miles. Il shall not be happy" said
Downing to one of the newspaper re
porters who were to make the run Oh
this first fast mail, until | have done
that seventy-six miles in seventy-twc
minutes"
When he threw the lever and opened
the throttle the train made a start that
settled everybody's dinner. And once
the train was fairly under way il
seemed as if the curves on the line
We're all Strengthened out by the tre
mendous speed
Going down Weber canyon the pace
was awful. "Three miles in two min
utes!' gasped Captain White.
But Downing did not reduce ths
speed. Down the winding line Of Tap
ioca gulch the rear coach was swing
ing from side to side. You could heal
the wheels grind on the curves and
feel the continuous striking rs they
bore first against one rail and then
against the other.
Faster and faster the train swept
along, roaring over bridges. tearing

tainted through nervous exhaustion
and many of the other passengers had
already succumbed.
Suddenly. in rounding the reverse
loop in Antelope gap. the rear coach
careened till it hung by one wheel on
the rail- AS soon as the moment OF
suspense was over General Manager
Dickinson sprang to his feet and call
ed:
Pull the bell rope, quick, Brown, and
run forward and tell Downing to stor
this if he wants us to reach Ogden
alivev'
Then, not to risk another such sec
ond, the general manager sprang tc
the rear platform and twisted up the
brake with all his might.
The seventy-siX miles of intricately
curved track were covered in sixty
five minutes. 1t was a hair raising
record and several passengers who
went through the experience did not
recover from the shock for long

SMALLEST OF SCREWS.
They Look Like Specks OF Dust and
Are Used In Watches.

The smallest screws in the world are
made in a watch factory. They are
cut from a steel wire by machine,
but as the chips fall from the knife it
seems as though the operator were
simply cutting up the wire for his own
amusement No screws can be seen,
and yet screw is made at every third
operation.
The fourth jewel screw is next to in
visible. and to the naked eye it looks
like a grain of dust. With a magnify
ing glass. however, it is seen to be a
screw with 26O threads to the inch.
and with very fine glass the threads
may be seen quite clearly
These little screws are four One-thou-
sandths of an inch in diameter. 1t is
estimated that an ordinary thimble
would hold 100000 of them. About a
million are made in a month, but no
attempt is ever made to count them.
In determining the number 100 OF
them are placed on d very delicate bal
ance, and the number of the whole
amount is calculated from the weight.
All the small parts of the watch are
counted in this way, probably so out
of the 12O.
After being cut the screws are hard
ened and put in frames. about 100 to
the frame, heads up. This is done very
rapidly. but entirely by the sense OF
touch instead Of by sight. so that a
blind man could do it as we'll as the
owner of the sharpest eye. The heads
are then polished in an automatic ma
chine, 10000 at time. The plate on
which they are polished is covered
with oil and grinding compound. and
on this the machine moves them very
rapidly by reversing motion until the
polish is perfect.-Exchange.
