A hostess wishing especially to hon.

the curiosity of those invited. After

of little teapots were passed, bearing
the following questions, all to be an

Col. Hector Danvers, magnate OF the

MAKES RECORD OF 'QUAKES
Invention Of italian Scientist Is Said
to Be an improvement Over

That the seismograph Is not the

earthquake tremors has been proven
by the invention Of an Italian SCI
enlist, who, through simple instru'
ment, by the aid of Hertzian waves
has been able to obtain records OF

It has been generally known that
earthquakes, besides giving rise to the
mechanical waves such as are regis
tered on the seismograph, also have
been the cause Of great electrical dis
turbances in the form Of wireless
waves.
The invention consists Of a metal

ter.
1t must have been nearly daylight
when a shot in the street without
startled him, then shouts. And then
one of the shabby windows of the
place was crashed through. A heavy
object struck him, nearly stunning
him.
The sound of rapid footsteps, indi.
eating a pursuit of some kind, died
away. Recovering himself, Selden ex-
amined the object that had been sent
flying through the window.
1t was valise. It bore several
travel-worn tags. On silver plate
near it's handles were the words,
woodbridge, Palmer Terrace"
Carrying the valise, scarcely know
ing what to do about it, Selden went
out on the street. It was deserted,
and he could not account for the
strange manner in which the valise
had come into his possession. He had
heard of Palmer terrace, q fashionable
quarter of the town. Selden entered
a drug store and consulted directory.
Sure enough. at certain number on
Palmer terrace there was Joseph
Woodbridge. Selden proceeded to the
address.
One glorious morning just six
months after that, Marcia Danvers re-
ceived from the postman at Lisle q
little box. With f1uttering heart she
ran up to her room. The writing upon
the box she recognized at once. She
tore off the wrappings, removed the
cover, and viewed the first token re-
ceived for over half a year from her
lover-a rose.
A rose, but yellow rose. What did
it mean? Puzzled, then perturbed, and
then anxious, she tried to solve the
enigma-in vain. And then, the next
morning, Selden Randall himself ap-
peared.
He came up the garden path, smil.
ing, Joyous; hope, health and devo'
ton personified. He took her into his
arms with assurance and pride.
"But the rose-not the white one?"
challenged Marcia, as soon as the first
greetings were over.
SeIden reached into his pocket and
drew forth his hand overlooking with
bright, shining golden pieces.
"The yellow rose," he said, means
success. The white rose," and he
drew box from his pocket-"I dare
not give it to you until l know that
l am forgiven"
"For what?" asked Marcia, in fear
and trembling.
He told her Of his first downfall In
the city--his last in that line forever,
and then Of returning to the wealthy
Joseph Woodbridge valise containing
over ten thousand dollars looted from
his house by burglar, who, holly pur'
sued, had flung it through the window
of the old rookery.
"Mr. Woodbridge has become al.
most a father to me-" explained Sci.
den. Il have a settled position, my
path in business life is sure one. Can
you take the rose, Marcia?"
Eyes, and wear it next to my heart.
Oh, my dear am 80 happy, so CRATE

"And orange blossoms, too" said
Selden, proudly.

place In the prices paid for these ami

number which have been supplied
from the northern country of Alaska,
Yukon territory. and the northwest
territories. The supply has been plen-
tlful because the young foxes were
dug out OF their holes before they were

young foxes will leave their dams and
it will then be impossible t o catch
them otherwise than singly in traps,
and the prices win probably rise.
