Since his recent retirement from the post

work in sanitation from various parts Of
the country. II Was learned yesterday that
because OF this and largely upon the ad-
vice of his medical friends he has decided
10 establish bureau of general sanitation,
with offices IN this city.
Il has been rumored that the former
Health Officer was 10 become the head Of
big sanatorum for the care OF patients
suffering from infectious diseases, but this
was denied yesterday by Dr. Doty.
Dr.. Doty said the work OF consulting
Sanitarian was practically new field, and
he found a demand for such eudeayor.
The work ho continued consists
largely in expert advice in all matters re-
Iating 70 the Improvement of sanitary con
ditions and therefore covers wide range
Modern sanitation calls for expert counsel
in connection with the work Of railway
systems and corporations or persons con

Vegetable Fiber for Shoes.

A Haverhill (Mass.) shoeman has
obtained patents giving him the right
to make vamps and tops OF vegetable
fiber which he has invented and per-
fected to be used in the manufacture
of shoes. A few cases Of shoes have
been made OF this material, which ap-
pears to be a good substitute for leath-
er. The fiber is said to be particularly
adaptable for warm weather YEA be-
cause, being of a woven material, air
can penetrate the vamp and top. The
inventor also claims that a shoe made
Of this material Is waterproof.

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Glow Of the Rubies.

In the Glow Of the Rubies.
Evening had come again.
In fact, 1t was almost bedtime.
Frances and | sat before the hearth
in the library, looking silently into
the red heart Of the dying embers of
fragrant pine cones. For In the
heights Of the Pocantico Hills it often
Is chilly on summer nights.
My darling sat on a low f~auteuil,
her chin resting upon her hand, her
beautiful eyes fixed dreamily, in
scrutably, upon the fading Goals. In
her lap lay the spread OF the crimson
pajamas.
She was thinking-thinking-I won
dered what! And I was thinking how
Jolly rum it all was; that Francis
wasn't Frances, that the professor
wasn't Billings, Colonel Francis Kirk
land wasn't Foxy Grandpa and wasn't
the frump's father after all; and that
the trump, herself-bless her, her
name was Elizabeth-wasn't Frances,
and wasn't a trump at all, but just a
jolly, nice, homely old dear, you know.
And I was trying to catch and hold
some of the deuced queer things the
professor had discoursed upon about
ancient Occidental what's-its-name,
and astral bodies, obsession, psy'
chical research and all that sort
Of thing. Somehow. dash it, II

as everybody else had said "Ah-h-h!"
and had wagged their heads as though
they understood, / just said: Dash
it, Of course, you know!" and re
crossed my legs and took q freshei
grip on my monocle.
The most devilish hard thing tc
get hold Of had been that Frances
had v sat on the arm of my Nor
ris chair, had never told me she liked
me better than any man she had evel
met, and had called me "Dicky'
at any time or anywhere. / wondered

us-strange faces that came and went
leering hideously into Jul own.
And then OF a sudden 1t was all
faded-gone! The breeze from the
open window stirred the ashes to the
side. She dropped back with q deep
sigh.
They're gone" she breathed mourn
fully.

The black figure turned toward hir
