Lord Jocelyn looked from the one
to the other in bewilderment. But

The young woman wrung her hands
in desperation. "Oh, will you go?"
she cried. Never mind my inconsis'

Lord Jocelyu turned toward the
door. There seemed to be no alterna-
tive but TO comply. He could not
force this sacrifice on them in despite
of that determination. But even as he
laid his fingers on the handle OF the
door he heard the heavy tread o. foot
steps ascending the stairway. They
reached the top stair and halted, and
others succeeded them. Then all
could hear voices of men, pitched In
low tones, without.
The girl hesitated for an instant;
then, without word, she darted to-
ward the door that led into the in

stairway. Following. hastily, Jocelyn
heard the girl hurrying down, and
caught sight of her. three flights be-
low, hurrying In hot haste toward the
back egress. Some impulse that he
made no effort to analyze turned his
footsteps back into the room which he
had vacated. Barrett stood there
alone In gloomy meditation. Jocelyn
went up to him and held out his
hand.
"T do not know what part have un-

said. "But I repeat my former offer
to you. Follow your sister. Though

The sight OF distress, especially
when the distressed one was of the

How Bells Are Tuned.

There are few who know how bell
receives its joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and finish
ed must 20 through a process of tun-
ing, the same as any other musical in
strument. before they respond with n
clear tone. Every bell sounds five
notes, which must blend together in
order to produce perfect harmony.
The tuning of bell is done by means
Of shaving thin bits from various parts
OF the metal. II is as easy for an ex-
pert bell tuner to put bell In tune
as Il Is for a piano tuner 10 adjust his
instrument TO perfect chords. AZ first
thought II would seem that a bell
