wait here moment" he said, "and
will see If l can find friend among
these customs officers"
The invalid approached an Inspector
and said to him:
"What is there in it for me if I put
you on to woman who is smuggling
lace?"
The officer arranged that he should
receive the value of such information,
and the two approached Gretchen.
'There she isl said the invalid, and
the officer at once turned poor Crotch
en- over to woman who searched
her thoroughly and confiscated every
yard Of her precious lace. This was
nothing to Gretchen compared with the
shock the mans treachery caused her.
She left the dock weeping. But it was
not for her little savings. 1t was for
the image she had set up in her heart,
which had been so roughly broken.
The next day Gretchen received a
card at her boarding house with the
name upon it of Charles Turner Whit
man." She had never heard of such a
person and thought there must be some
mistake. However, she went down
into the parlor, and who should be
there but the invalid, but an invalid no
longer. His chalky complexion had
strong, his whole appearance CHEEKY.
AS soon as Gretchen saw him she turn
ed to leave the room, but he caught her
and brought her back.
"Wait, little sweetheart, till I ex-
plain. When we went ashore yester-
day l had on me small fortune in
lace. My legs, body and arms were
wrapped with it. IL l succeeded in
getting it in without confscation it
would be the last Of several such eff
forts and complete the amount deter
mined to make before disseminating
practice which l cordially detest. No
surer way of passing the officials I'M
suspected could be devised than direct
Ing their attention to some one else.
Your few yards were nothing to the
hundreds had on me. You We're kind
to me on the trip, and you have been
the means of my completing my work
undiscovered. Share my snug fortune
with me. Be my wife, and together we
will enter upon career less risky and
discreditable than smuggling."
1t was some time before Gretchen
could recover from the shock she had
received. Then she smilingly agreed
to take the matter into consideration.
Evidence was forthcoming that there
was nothing against her lover but the
several smuggling trips referred to,
and she at last consented to marry
him. With the proceeds of his trips
abroad they set up small shop and

p TITLE GRETCHEN LAHMER

TITLE GRETCHEN LAHN1ER
of Brussels, Belgium, was COM
ing to America. She was ad-
vised by business acquaint-
ance to put several hundred dollars
which she had saved beyond her pas
sage money into the beautiful lace
made in her city and carry it with her
to New York. If she could get it
through the custom house free of duty
she would add considerably to her lit
tie capital. She was informed that
nothing one wears is dutiable. There
fore after purchasing some white and
black lace she set about decorating her
clothing with it in such fashion that
1t would not likely be noticed by the
custom house officials. With the black
lace she trimmed her mantle, putting
on, of course, a profusion, while the
white was made into founces on her
dress beneath.
Gretchen crossed the ocean in the
sweet summer time, when it was de-
hghtful to sit on deck and watch the
green waves, the gulls and the blue
heavens far ashore by day and the
starry dome by night. Besides, the
moon was at the full and beginning
with the twilight, rose later every
evening. Gretchen was alone, but
young man, an invalid, on the first day
out sat in his steamer chair near her
and formed her acquaintance. Though
! the weather was warm, he was invari-
ably wrapped in an ulster. He told
Gretchen that he had dropsy.
Gretchen, lonely herself, understood
more perfectly the feelings of this
young man, who was not only unat-
tended, but i'll. She therefore devoted
herself to him. Every morning at 10
o'clock when the weather was fine
and 1t was fine throughout the voyage
she would place the young mans
chair for him In a sheltered nook,
cover him with rugs, talk to him, read
to him and in every way in her power
contribute to his comfort The invalid
F., seemed profoundly grately for these
attentions. When she put a pillow I'M
| der his head he would look into her
| eyes what was more than gratitude.
| He regretted that he could make no
return for her attention except help to
improve her English, which was very
imperfect. 1t is but natural that with
the language of love passing between,
for Gretchen was becoming attached
to her charge, they should get on rap
idly with mere commonplace express
sions. The young man had had a good
education in the public schools and
seemed quite ambitious to succeed in
life. This made Gretchen's heart bleed
for him. She would wrap his ulster
more closely about him, and he would
look up with that grateful, languid
smile so touching in an invalid.
When they approached New York
Gretchen began to be worried about
her lace. She craved sympathy and
confided her secret to her friend. He
reassured her by telling her that If
she would go ashore with him he would
look out for some Of the officials whom

AMA1oR's SIXTH SENSE.
Flying ~ Aid to tho Development Of
Equilibrium.

Flying ~ Aid to tho Development Of
Equilibrium.
Human aviation makes an appeal to
the semicircular canals (Which are our
organs of equilibration) that they have
never had before. In so far as aero
plane equilibrium is not secured
through the machine, is not mechani-
cally automatic, it must depend upon
the aviators sight, touch, muscle pres
sure and semicircular canal sense, and
to that extent man must bring the
sensitiveness of these parts to the
standard of the bird. The bird de-
ponds wholly upon sight and semi
circular canal senses in flying. Pos
sibly some animals can outrival man
In every sense, certainly in scent, and
probably in sole use of the equilibrial
sense organs. But man undoubtedly
possesses the highest average Of all
animals, says a writer in Harper's.
BE has evolutionally passed through
every grade of excellence achieved by
any animal with any sense.
But lessened demand on one sense
through increased service OF others
must cause some deterioration in the
unused sense. Has the service of our
semicircular canals refrigerated? 1t is
Just possible for man to place himself
in position of sole reliance upon his
equilibrial sense-in dark, briny water,
while the fish is so dependent every
night. In bird the equilibrial sense
must act far more quickly than in the
fish. The bird gets aid from it's eyes,
which change focus more quickly than
mans eyes. We know that our equi-
librial sense is slow compared with
its chief assistants, sight and touch.
Our equilibrial sense does not ordi-
narily reach consciousness except in
severe conditions. Did 1t at one time
come, and have the nerves Of connec-
ton simply weakened through disuse?
