Erescoes of Orvieto.

OF the frescoes in the chapel of the
Madonna di S. Brizio at Orvieto, which
are being restored, says the Boston
Transcript, Fra Angelica did two divi-
sions of the vaulted ceiling. In one
he represented Christ in Glory" sur
rounded by angels, and in the other a
group of prophets, seated upon clouds,
tier upon tier. The frescoes were exc
cuted in the summer Of 1447, the pain
ter having negotiated the commission
in order to escape from Rome during
the summer heat. He undertook to
return to Orvieto in the same months
each year until the work was finished,
but never went back after the first
visit, for what reason is not known.
Possibly because the death of n OF
his assistants through falling from the
scaffolding soon after the decoration
was begun was regarded as an evil
omen. Misfortunes, at any rate, i'm
peded progress, and it was not until
fifty years later that Luca Signorelf
completed the work Angelica had be
gun.

ADELAYEDH HONEYMOON
Clerk Gets $4,000 for Marrying
an HeireSS.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

1t is generally worse when your
wife bows to you coldly than when
she cuts you. Especially is this the
case when you have not o her for
a couple of years. So John Ferrand,
who was neither divorced nor es-
tranged from Mrs. John Ferrand, felt
badly when he accidentally %encount-
cred her on the board walk at At
lantic City.
The meeting was accidental in that
John had hoped to select the oppor-
tunity. But he had gone to Atlantic
City to find her, Immediately after his
return from Nevada, where, as the
discoverer and subsequently as owner
of the Diamond Silver mine, he had
leaped into meteoric fame.
He hurried after her, and Edith,
seeing him, halted and faced him.
81 beg your pardon, Mrs. Ferrand,"
said John, ignoring the look Of anger
which she gave him. Il have always
meant to return this purse to you.
You left it behind at the Pennsyl-
vania terminal"
And you have carried 1t for these
two years." asked Edith Ferrand
scornfully.
He bowed. You see, I didn't know
your address. And it seem to con-
tain some papers, he said.
Edith took the purse and opened 1t.

Two years before Horace Mills,
senior partner in the law firm of Mills
and Hoppner, had called John Fer
rand, one of his clerks, into his pri-
vate office.
"Ferrand," said the head of the firm
thoughtfully, you have been with me
for five years now"
Yes, sir" answered the clerk.
You have not shown a great apti-
tude for law, l think" said Mr.. Mills,
smiling family. Nevertheless" he
added, Il know you to be a mar of
sterling integrity. And l want such
a mar just now. Ferrand, did you
ever think of getting married."
mo, sir" John Ferrand answered.
would you be willing to remain a
bachelor for the rest of your life for
well, say for twenty thousand dol
lars?"
Twenty thousand dollars! Ferrand
thought of the men he had known

They sat down in a restaurant to dine.
Ferranu never afterward knew how 1t
happened; he vas conscious only Of
the misery Of the impending separa-
ton. Like a a in a dream, or one
delirious, he stammered out his love.
He asked only a chance to win her
some day, when he, too, had gone
west and made q man Of himself,
demonstrated his right to win her.
He ended by tearing the check to
atoms and casting them on the floor.
All the while Edith listened gravely.
Il don't think l have the right to
utter a positive refusal, Mr.. Ferrand,"
she answered. "You were foolish to
destroy that check-but l honor you
the more for it, and l shall not press
the money on you But l must think
Il don't know"
But afterward, in the taxicab, she
relented. He held her hand and
poured out the words that dubbed to
his lips unchecked. When they reach
ed the booking office he knew that

then to renew his suit.
She had purchased her ticket and
stood on the step of the train. Her
purse was in his hand. The train
moved. He wanted to leap aboard
hesitated; it moved more swiftly L..
Presently he was alone on the plat
form, still holding the little purse.
. y .
Edith opened the purse. Suppose
you look in that envelope" she said.
"They are not papers, as you seem to
believe"
John Ferrand tore open the flap.
Inside was neatly folded a long
printed slip-a railway ticket. Then
from the released folds there futtered
"a second ticket. Ferrand stared at
it DULY.
Good Cod" he muttered. What
a fool l have been. If l had known!
Edith"
Edith was smiling now.

ette," she said softly.

struggling to maintain families on two
thousand a year-all he could aver
hope to rise to, after years OF service.
For Ferrand had not the money-mak
ing instinct.
Yes, sir" he said.
Come in, Miss Kent" called the
lawyer briskly, and Edith Kent
stepped composedly into the room
from Mr.. Hoppner's office.
Now, Ferrand, the situation is
this" said Mr.. Mills. Miss Kent
inherits four million dollars if she
marries within a certain period. That
period expires tomorrow night. She,
like yourself, is not inclined toward
matrimony. If you will go through
the form of marriage with her, you
will receive not twenty but fifty
thousand dollars. Immediately after
the ceremony you will depart and
never see her or me again. l know |
can rely on your honor. Do you
agree?"
John thought of the mother whom
he supported, of his little sister, des-
tined to the drudgery OF a stenog-
rapher's desk unless
Il agree" he answered.
.
Love al first sight, at which we
practical people SCOT, is nevertheless,
a not infrequent phenomenon. The
strangeness Of that agreement, a
haunting memory of Miss Kent's blue
eyes, her hauteur, her superb man
ners, her charm-above all that In
defnable and elusive thing which we
suddenly see in omeone of the other
sex, which sets the pulses throbbing
and the heart yearning-this kept
John Ferrand awake all night. And
when the brief ceremony In the law.
yer's office was over, Ferrand realized
that for the first time in his life he
was in love-deeply and wildly in
love with this woman, his wife, wnom
he was never to claim. He choked;
he could not look into her face.
IT thank you, Mr.. Ferrand." she
said composedly. "And now, since
we shall never meet again-well, you
may see me to the Pennsylvania ter.
minal. / am going west to visit my
sister. You have been paid?"
More than paid" he stammered.
There were two hours to wait

State Health Conditions.

At this time of year the cities
throughout the country are pub
fishing their health conditions
for the past year.
Most of them claim a lower
death rate for the year 1910 than
1911.
The Mississippi State Board of
Health has just finished compil-
ing the deaths for the month OF
November was 1909, of this num-
Der 636 were white and 973 ne
groes.
The people of Mississippi are
to be congratulated upon the re-
suits obtained under the first
months operation of the new law
requiring the registration of
births and deaths.
This state is the first in the
South to attempt state wide reg
istratiUn.
That it is necessary for the
government and states to take
cognizance of the prevalence of
pellagra and appropriate sutti-
cient sums of money for a study
of the cause of this dreadful dis
ease is apparent from the great
number of deaths that occurred
during the month Of November
in the State of Mississippi. The
record of the State Board of
Health shows that during this
one month 43 deaths were caus-
ed by pellegra, of this number
16 were white and 81 were ne
groes.
1t is not a disease confirmed to
any certain locality but uniform
ly distributed throughout the
state. Pellegra caused 2.7 per
cent of all deaths during the
month of November. Of the
white deaths it constituted 20
per cent. while among the ne
gro deaths it was responsible for
2.8 per cent. of all deaths. All
physicians should cooperate with
the State Board Of Health by re-
porting all communicable dis
eases to the county health Off
Ger of their counties in order
that it maybe known what steps
are necessary to prevent the
spread Of disease among the
people of the state.

Where Divorce 10 Easy.

AS to easy divorce neither Aus
tralia nor America leads the way, If
we admit uncivilized tribes into the
competition. Among some Siberian
tribes, for instance, a man need only
uncover his wife's head and walk
away, and the Eskimo has only to
leave his house and stop away in pre-
tended anger for a day or two.
In Nepal a woman a divorce her
husband at any time by simply plac-
ing a hetel nut under his pillow and
taking her departure. And two chop
sticks broken in the presence OF q
witness are sufficient to divorce q
couple in Cochin China.

satIon for the death of w. 6. Lawrence

case is one of the most peculiar that
has come before the commission. Ten
days previous to his death Minnie
Lawrence was granted divorce from

LIVE WIRE KILLS
REEDSBURG TEAM
(From Saturdays Daily.)

This morning about O'Clock fire
was discovered In the Birmingham &
uixon saw mill at Reedsburg and in
making run to the fire the city team
with the apparatus struck live cleo
trio light wire and was instantly
killed. The wire was swin ging low in
the eastern part of the city and struck
the horses on their breasts. When the
horses fell the wagon came TO such q
sudden stop that the members of the
fire departmentiwere almost thrown off
and had a narrow escape from en-
countering the wire. Had the metal
been little higher lives might have
and the team belonged to the CITY. A
person acquainted with the Second
City says the light wires in Reedsburg
are in bad conditi n, not well insu-
lated and not we'll wired to the poles.
After the team was killed it was
necessary to shut off the power at the
ngnunR plant before the nre appRr-
atus could be moved. In the confusion
and delay the fire gained such head
way that the mill was entirely de-
stroyed. It was located in the eastern
part of the city and was known as The
Townsend mill. The loss of lumber
was not great. The caute of the fire is
not known.
Several large piles Of lumber and an
adjoining work shop were also dam
aged by the fire. The saw mill was
we'll equipped with machinery which
was of course totally ruined. The
fire had too much Of start when the
firemen arrived for them to make any
Roadway getting it under control.
The buildings were insured.

each series of bonds is retired, the
margin of safety is increased. There
has been steadily increasing proper
ton of the annual bond output in the
serial form.
With the advent of this small mort
gage bond the vast aggregate of indi-
vidual savings was discovered. Within
few years millions of dollars month
ly were made available for city build
ing by its aid During one month of
1912 the building permits issued in
Chicago alone were for structures
having street frontage of 1890
feet and involving the expenditure of
S12, 329,990. In contrast to this record
for one month, was that of the cor
responding month of 1907, when the
building involved only $1,000 900. This
theoretical solution of the problem of
thrift was proved TO be practical in
the application OF it, the success of
the urban financing being encourage
ment to the proposals to finance the
American farmer better by some SINH
lar plans.
The man whose idea has brought
about the rearing of the huge city
structures, Banker Straus, has made

shaped his course in the faith that the
cooperation of the people is neces-
sity to and the solution of all finan-
cial operations. That his business
has reached a magnitude of millions
is significant of the trend of things.
AS a matter of fact" said Mr..
Stratus in an address TO the American
Society of Thrift, this era of the
'people-ization' of the nations indus
tries already is dawning, and in spite
OF concentrations of credit and great
combinations of capital the basis of
the financial world today is really a
democratic one. The foundations of
the whole financial structure rest on
the shoulders of the people.
Our tremendous industrial expan-
sion of the last 40 years is due, more
than any one thing, to the fact that
ways were found of tapping the credh
reservoir of wealth, owned in the ag-
gregate by the people, of concentrate
ing the funds OF a thousand or a mil
lion loaners, and OF bringing the peo-
pie into active participation in great
financial operations"
The expenditures for new buildings
in the leading centers of the country
have run about $500, 100000 a year UNI
til the plan was hit upon by which
the small investor could have hand
in the financing and thereby get much
! higher returns from his savings and
avoid the temptations which beset him
when his living expenses we're far
| higher than his interest returns and
the wildcat promoter sfaunted bogus
profits in his face with the height OF
I artfulenss.
According TO the Investigations Of
/ the postofice department the sums
wasted on the wildcat enterprise were
not less than q billion dollars in five
years. If the record of the few year,
in which real estate bonds OF popular
denominations have been offered II
an indication OF the future, lsrg'
part OF a billion dollars will be enlist
ed IN urban improvements by the plal
worked out and put into operation b.

itruistic study and hobby for thrift.
