Billy doubling up his fists belligerent-

added.
so do t. admitted Bessie's aunt,
after thoughtful consideration. "And
did you say he was sorry?" she asked.
Billy nodded emphatically.
"Well-if he's sorry" Bessie's
aunt was visibly impressed.
"Why-there's Uncle Jack now!" an
nounced Billy, pointing an accusing
finger Uncle Jack! Uncle Jack!"
he called shrilly.
Uncle Jack turned his head, but it.
was not at Billy that he looked. He
must have read forgiveness in the
glance of Bessie's aunt, for a moment
later he was crossing the lawn.
I'm afraid my small nephew has
been disturbing you," he apologized,
picking up the book that Bessie's aunt
aad conveniently dropped, and careful
ly restoring it to her.
"Not in. the least" smiled Bessie's
aunt. We've been exchanging conf

gentleman writing to LIE Chasseur
Francois describes a singular phenom
enon observed by him on a recent
hunting trip to the Pyrenees. In the
early morning of gray and lowering
day he heard a muffied, whirring
sound like that of the propeller of a
distant aeroplane, and looking at the
sky, beheld the soft glow of two
lights-electric bulbs, apparently. Of
five or six candle power.
But to his amazement the supposed
ship Of the air resolved itself on a
closer approach into two large birds
with softly luminous plumage. A lucky
shot brought them to earth and it was
found that the extinction of life did
not diminish the luminosity, which
seemed resident in the feathers.
In commenting on this case, La Ma
ture' declares that the phenomenon is
by no means rare and is susceptible to
very simple explanation. The bird
has merely soiled it's feathers by con-
tact with some luminiferous animal
or vegetable matter such as decaying
fish or touchwood. The latter source
is especially probable, as owls, on
which the luminosity has been spe-
cially observed, commonly live in hol-
lows Of trees and thus particularly
liable to come in contact with touch
wood.
Doubtless many picturesque legends
of wandering lights and fitting fires
ascribed to ghostly, demoniac or an
gelic visitants, according to the preju-
dices of the observer, may be easily
explained in this simple manner.

Good for Sickroom.

A sandbag is one of the most scr
viceable articles to use in the sick
room. Get some clean, fine sand, dry
it thoroughly in kettle on the stove,
make a bag about eight inches square
of flannel, fill it with the dry sand
sew the opening carefully togetEei
and cover the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand
from sitting out, and will also enable
you to heat the bag quickly by placing
it in the oven, or even on the top OF
the stove. After once using this you
will never again attempt to warm the
feet or hands of a sick person with
bottle of hot water or a brick. The
sand holds the heat long time and
the bag can be tucked up to the back
without hurting the invalid 1t is a
good plan to make two or three of the
bags and keep them ready for use.

DANGEROUS BaciIii In Dust.

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis speaks OF
the dangers from house dust, espe-
cially in rooms that are not well ven
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping. and against the use OF
the feather duster, or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is i~mpregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
ISOLATION urges the adoption OF meth.
DDS that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli. 1t also
urges for the coming months of fall
and winter, more open windows and
fresh air in house, shop, and
schoolroom.

trickery By which the public had been

but they took occasion at the same
time to point out that there was moth
ing whatever to be done about 1t.
The party in power was one that
had long dominated the metropolis.
To be sure It gave the metropolis .
fairly good government: but the peo-
pie paid yer and over again. They

nished, and the stan OF nrevi-
ously employed was retained.
Gormly knew from the clipping hu-
reau that it was the cust~m of the
Haldanes to pass the Christrhas holt
days at their country place. He had
seen Miss Haldane rather less re-
quently Of late, because the work at
the settlement house was now so far
advanced that 1t vas merely q matter
of carrying out the plans decided upon
and spending the money so generously
placed In her hands by him, which
did not need much consultation. So,
on the vain hope that chance might
throw him In touch with her, Gormly
decided also to occupy for the Christ
mas season his lonely cottage-it was
called a cottage. although It was more
like a baronial mansion than anything
else-on the Long Island shore.
1t was showing hard the evening of
his arrival the day before Christmas,
and Gormly did not like snow. He
had bitter memories intermingled
with a storm, and the sight OF the
white. Ice covered. snow clad fields
filled him with unpleasant reminis-
cences.
Since he had bought the estate
through the faithful Chaloner, he had
not seen 1t himself. Therefore, after
the excellent dinner which had been
provided by his new chef and served
by his new butler. he determined upon
a careful inspection of his residence.
They had advanced as rar al the H.
brary when the familiar tinklo Of the
telephone made them pause.
See who It Is. Beals." said the mas
ter of the house.
It's from the keeper Of the lodge
gate. SIR" he said, turning and look
ing toward his master. HE says that
there's q party down there stalled in
an automobile. They can't get on in
the snow. They'd like to come up to
the house. There are ladies in the
party. and"
Tell them to come up by all near
at once" said Gormly.

Ter, but you know it's half a mile by
the road. and it'll be terrible walking
for the ladies In such weather as
this"
Quite So" returned Gormly. What
does the stable afford?"
There's the station wagon and the
pair that brought you over, sir. Those
are all that are there"
Yes, l remember. That's all I told
Chaloner to send down, not expecting

bitter and determined attack upon
their franchises and upon their meth
DDS. They knew. Of course, that they
held the aldermen in their hands;
that in their close alliance with the
Saehem society. the organization that
ran things, they could pass anything
they wanted in defiance of any public
sentiment whatsoever.
Gormly had made one blunder; but
like = brilliant soldier he had sue.
ceeded In turning 1t to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another. Tho Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company was made the subject OF
scathing criticism and bitter attack
Of which the Sachem society and the
party In power came in for q large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about It.
In previous campaigns the party out
Of power had been led by a series Of
foriorn hopes, men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause OF reform
and not noted for much of anything
else. The leaders Of the outs took no
tice Of Gormly. Inquiries began to
be made about him: his business
methods were investigated; his re-
sources were discussed; his character
was analysed; his career made the
subject Of study. From being merely
q name attached to a familiar institu-
ton. he became within one month one
Of the great personalities Of New
York. The situation was intoxicating.
Incidentally, he did not lose in the
estimation Of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation Of himself, which he had
SO cleveriy managed that no one
dreamed It was due to his own motion.
Even In those exclusive circles In
which Miss Haldane moved. which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
ings on this side Of the terrestrial
sphere. some account OF Gormly and
his doings, penetrated. That he was
rich and a bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
set. Men and women there began to
inquire a. to who he IVES. It was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
enlighten them SO far al she could.
without betraying the nature Of their
confidential relation.
There were several papers on the
side Of the administration, which were
owned and controlled by the party in
power. that would have been glad
indeed to have discredited Gormiy;
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing in his life that could be used for
that purpose. Where he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter Of q century at least his
course had been traced with consid-
accuracy, and indeed there was
little Of It that was not discovered
and disclosed to the eager public. He
was quite willing to talk about the
Gotham Freight Traction company or
any matter Of public moment. but for
the rest he was unshakably silent. His
early past. therefore, was a mystery;
but the interest Ia a mystery that has
no special bearing upon the present
soon dies out.
Then Gormly did an unusual thing
for him. He purchased a country
place on Long Island. This received
no mention in the public press. be-
cause the whole matter bad been han
