not permit him to leave the village to find work
 This mornings interview had ter minated as every other one on the same subject had done.
 Harry looked from the handsome home 10 the well-kept grounds, winced when he saw the wageless gardener elenched his fits in his pockets and walked out of the gate
 He had sold everything that he owned personally to satisfy creditors and now he had sent his remaining trinket, a small jeweled scarf pin, 10 the city to be sold With the money obtained from the sale he intended to pay the two servants
 At Dr Bells gate he hesitated. and then swung it inward and went up the path. Across the garden he saw Alice Bells slender form among her flowers. She saw him, but as his hand went to his cap he found that she had turned away and was absorbed in trailing a climbing rose.
 His face turned scarlet. He knew that Alice Bell must despise him for what looked like deliberate likeness, and willingness to live upon tradespeo- pie. He Ionged to set her right, but loyalty to his mother sealed his lips. The worst of 1t was, he had fallen in lo7e with Alice Bell
 Dr. Bell was in his study when the young man was announced, and he pushed a box of cigars across the ta- ble and sank back into his deep chair. He was a beetle-browed little man with kindly blue eyes and frosted hair. He looked at Harry over his spectacles.
 Light up. Harry" he commanded.
 Harry shook his head resolutely. Don't tempt me. I've sworn of all that sort of thing until can pay some of my debts"
 Coed for youi Hope 1t hurts you to do it-makes all the better man of you in the end. Not but what you're good enough, lad, as 1t is, only wish you'd had chancei"
 "Ah-you understand that I want chance," Harry mutterd quickly.
 The doctor nodded. T understand the whole situation. Do you actually want to go to work in the mill. Harry?"
 Yes"
 Willing to start in as an operative on one of the machines?"
 Anything"
 Blake will give you job of that sort at two dollars a day"

 She can stand a shock of that sort" grewled the doctor Tt will do her good in the end. You get the job and go to work and learn the business from the bottom up.

When it is l shall want a man to step in and take charge of the place, and if it's chap by the name of Bashford. so much the betterl Not a word to your mother or anybody elsel Understand"
 Tears were in Harry Bashford's eyes as he wrung the good doctors hand and they were there as he left the house and hurried straight to the mill. There he got the coveted job, and the next morning went forth with | the other workers to spend a day in the racketing mill.

A Card DEALING Machine.

A Partisan gambler has just patent
ed a machine for dealing cards. He
claims for it the advantage of prevent
ing the cards from being soiled by the
fingers and also of making impossible
any misdeal or any sharp practice by
the dealer The cards, having been
shuf1ed, are placed in the box which
is held in the dealers left hand. With
his right he pulls wire which sets in
motion a wheel that pushes forth the
top card 1t is evident that none but
the top card can possibly be dealt. but
old professional gamblers smile at the
device, recognizing that it in no way
prevents their ringing in a cold deck"
If he wants to put an efectual stop
to swindling the inventor will have to
devise a machine that will also shuttle
and cut the cards before dealing them
and so simple that no one can fix it to
do crooked business. New York

CHINESE REPUBLIC
REACHES CRISIS
Pekin Correspondent Says Bru-
tai Execution Marks
Turning Point.

London.-The execution Of Chang
Chen WI by Chinese government OIL
Gals is compared by the Pekin cores
pondent of the Daily Telegraph to Ma
poleon's shooting of the Due d'Eng-
hien, at Vincennes, in 1904, and what
followed. 1t is the turning point, the
writer asserts, in the life of the Chi
nese republic. The correspondent
continues:
president Yuan Shi Kai, alarmed at
the outcry, is publishing Vice-presl-
dent Lii Yuan lungs kilograms in or
der to fasten the blame on that official
and, fearing assassination, surrounds
himself by troops.
According to Chinese newspapers
the execution was carried out a
fendish manner. The bannerman gen.
eral, Yuan Chi Kuei, who was entrust-
ed with the execution, actually Gined
with his victim in an European hotel
and toasted him repeatedly. When
the dinner was over, he followed his
victim in another carriage to his lodg-
ing
con alighting from the vehicle, Gen
eral Yuan Chi Kuei blew a whistle as
a signal, whereupon forest of sabres
and bayonets sprung up like magic
about Chang Chen WI, who was
bound and flung into a mule cart and
carried to the military court. No evil
dence was given at the trial and the
accused officer was condemned to i'm
mediate execution.
1.-THE first volley not killing the pris-
oner, repeated volleys we're fired until
the generals body was completely dis
emboweled. A message was then sent
to the victims wife for more clothes,
as her husband felt cold in the night

The Philippine Coast Line.

Deep sea sailors used to laugh at
their brother mariners of the coast
wise trade and refer to them as men
who like to go to sea when they could
get home to dinner" This gibe would
have little point in the Philippines, the
coast line of which has been found to
measure more than 1000 miles--to be
exact, 11.511 statute miles. In the
Philippines there is one mile of coast
to every ten miles of area, the total
area Of the islands being rs, 1925 square
statute miles. These figures are inter-
esting when it is considered that the
ratio in the United States is 232 square
miles of area to one mile Of coast line.
The figures for the United States have
reference to the coast line of the main
part of the country, including islands
lying near the coast, but not including
noncontiguous territory. such as Alas
ka and Porto Rico. The coast line of
the United States so measured. with
what the experts call three mile
steps," is 1926 statute miles. less than
1000 miles in excess of the coast line
of our eastern possessions.-New York

GROWING Use of Thermite.

Among the many improvements with
in recent years in railway construction
in Germany is the welding together
of rail ends. whereby practically con-
tinuous rails are secured. The heat
ing substance thermite has greatly ia
cilitated this process. Thermite is
formed by the union Of finely oulver-
lied aluminium with oxygen. When
this mixture is ignited, chemical COM
bination takes place with an eXtraordi-
nary development Of heat, not much
less than that of the electric arc. In
welding rails the molten thermite is
poured into the joints. and the softened
rail ends are then forced closer togeth-
er. The resulting weld is very firm

The Statuette Fad,

There is a fad today for statuettes
in place of photographs. Those minia-
lures have given sculptors in Paris a
great deal of work, and many artists
in this country have more orders than
they can fill The miniatures are not
more than twelve inches high in a
standing figure and eight for seated
figure. In them the sculptor seeks
rather an impressionistic than an ac-
tual portrait. The aim is to represent
one or two Of the chief characteristics

An INGENIOUS "Fire Box"

A very simple but nevertheless eff
fective method of making fire is used
in the Arfak mountains. in Dutch
North New Guinea. The natives cut
a section of bamboo. usually about
nine inches long by two inches in di-
ameter. and into this are put a supply Of
finder and small fragment Of any
thing hard. preferably piece of china
if the natives can get. hold of it. The
finder is covered from the wet by a
piece of bark. and the fire box" is then
ready for use whenever it is wanted.
To get light the native merely takes
the piece of china and lump of tin
der between his thumb and first fin
ger; then, holding the bamboo in his
left hand. he strikes it's surface sharp
ly with the china. causing spark,
which soon ignites the finder Even
the white man soon acquires the knack
of doing this, and the process is much
more effective and infinitely less labori-
Gus than the usual method of produc-
ing fire by friction.-Wide World Mag

WILL VOTE ON COMMISSION
Special Election Ordered to Decide

Spokane, Wash.-The peremptorv
writ of mandate to compel the city
commissioners of Spokane to call i'm
mediately special election for sub
mission to the voters of charter
amendments abolishing the commits
sion form of government was granted
by Judge Webster, of the superior

Cooper and other signers of a petition

changes the charter amendments
would provide a government by a
mayor and ten councilmen.
The commissioners had refused to
call a special election on the ground
that it was contrary to the provisions
Of the state law and that the amend
ments only could be submitted at a
regular city election.

Jackals and Crocodile Eoos.

Jackals and hyenas are very fond of
crocodile eggs, The former is the more
successful poacher of the two Ma
tives of central Africa say that the
jackal has sixteen eyes, with one of
which he watches the eggs and with
the fifteen others he looks out for the
crocodile. The hyena, on the other
hand, being very greedy, has all his
eyes on the eggs and so often falls a
victim to the watchful crocodile in mo-

that the crocodile sometimes knocks
it's prey off the bank or off the canoe
with it's tail and then SEXES it with it's
wide open jaws.
