Echoes From the City.


Sallie Kingsbury unused to psyche
logical analysis, could not have ex-
planned why Mr.. Hand was so OBJ
jectiolable to her. He was no relative
of the family, she had discovered that;
and, accustomed as she was to the old
fashioned gentility of a thrifty New
England town, instinct told her that
he could not possibly be one of its
varied products. He might have come
from anywhere; he talked so little that
he was suspicious on that ground
alone and when he did speak, there
was no accent at all that Sallie could
lay hold of. Useful as he was Just
now in taking care of that poor young
man upstairs, he nevertheless in
spired in that breast a most unholy
irritation. Her attitude was that of
housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
MIR. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallies tendency to sweep him out
of the way, but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than
match for her. On the afternoon fol

In her which, from the first moment of
the interview, had recoiled from this
fanatical but intensely spiritual wom-
an, found it's way, as it were, into the
light. Such was the power Of her sin
cerity, that, in spite of the eXtraor-
dinary character of the interview, Aga
tha's heart throbbed with a new com
prehension which was almost love. She
stepped closer to Susan Stoddard, her
tail figure overtopping the others
sturdy one, and took one of her strong

spoken a word of love to me. But If

over hers, while her spirit, even as
Agatha's had DONE pierced the hedge
which separated them, and compre-
hended something of the goodness in
the others soul Finally she laid her
other hand over Agatha's, enclosing
it in a strong clasp. Then, with a
certain pathetic pride in her submis-
sion, she said:
Il have been wrong, Agatha; I will

Some Are Enormous but the Majority
Of Them Are of Moderate
Size.

The monoliths of Egypt were as q
rule of comparatively moderate size,
and most of the building blocks were
such as would generally be used to-

the Sphinx are 16 feet in height by
Az feet in width, and some others
are 20 to 26 feet in height

in courses, and those Of Luxor are
not solid, two-thirds of the diameter
being filled in with a yellow con

are of immense proportions, with
