Mrs. Croft was a country girl and
life in the city had been hard on her.
And there had been nc children.
And aver the memory Of Mildred
Carter swept over him like a food
tide, and by that sweet memory he
had tried to live and fought down
the rising bitterness in his heart,
At last his wife and he had resolved
upon a temporary separation. 1t was
not to be permanent; they were too
sincerely fond Of car other to dream
Of anything like that Rather 1t was
to be a period Of adjustment in which,
each, alone, could examine his and
her heart and see wherein the Of
Tense lay. Then his wife's second let
ter had come, in which she had dag
nssed the trouble accurately. 1t was
not their love which was at fault, but
the conditions of their life, and love
must be strong enough to overlap
those artificial barriers.
But Mildred! John Croft had never
ceased to dream Of h first love. II
thoce years could be wiped out once
more! He saw her now as he sat
musing In his study, passing down
the village street, swinging her sun
bonnet; he saw the shy, quick glance
that she would cast up at him. He
had those letters that she had writ
ten to him, breathing SO many hopes,
in the drawer OF his desk. He had
never destroyed those; they we're
sacred to him.
His wife would not return for three
days. Why, then, should he not go
to her, to Clayton, the Village Of their
birth, and see her as she was now, re-
call the thousand memories Of their
love, steep his soul in those passion
ate memories which would encourage
him to take up the burden Of life
anew? He sat down at his desk and
wrote her a letter of a thousand en-
dearments. He was coming back to
Clayton, he said. Would she meet
him Just at the place where they used
to meet, at the bottom Of the garden
dividing the two cottages? And would
she wear that sunbonnet? And would
she forget the years that had escaped
and pretend that they were boy and
girl together again in Clayton?
No sooner had he posted that let
ter than the plan became overwhelm

FIrst Derby In 1880.

All England is at present talking
over the coming Derby, in which
there are several American entries.
This famous stake was instituted
by Lord Derby in 1880 and takes
places on EPSON Downs in Surry,
England. 1t is generally run on the
wednesday In the week preceding
Whitsuntide, the fifteenth day after
Easter, which is the second day Of
the meeting.
The Derby, which is run over Z
course Of one and one-half miles, Is
at present a stake Of $4,000, of which
$4,000 goes to the winner, $1,000 to
the nominator of the same, $1,000 to
the second horse and $1,000 to the
third.
Epson Downs is a small market
town, where races were first estab-
lished in I'LL. The grand stand at
the course there was built in 1929 at
a cost of 100000, and accommo-
dates $500 persons seated.

odd Artificial Eve.

In order to increase the resolving
power of the microscope, DR.. Kohler
of Jena employs for Illuminating the
object to be examined the ultraviolet
rays of the spectrum, which. though
highly effective in photography, are
totally invisible to the human eye. For
focusing and adjusting the image a
kind of artificial eye is employed,
which consists of an eye lens OF crys-
tai glass and a retina Of %tiuroescent
glass. The image formed on this re-
tina by the ultraviolet rays can be
examined usually through an ordin-
airy lens. The fiuorescent light. how
ever, is injurious to the eye, and this
method Of examination Is sparingly
used.-The Sunday Magazine.

Frowned on Innovation.

Montrose, Scotland, is to be an avia-

flying machines there is enough, &C
cording to the London Chronicle, to
bring some Of the good old ladies Of

who protested against steam vessels,
as counteracting the DEGREES Of provi-
dence in going against wind and tide

Much for His Money.

At the suffrage portrait show at
the Glaenzer galleries in New York,
John Sloan told a story about the
nude in art.
"An old farmer and his wife," said
Mr.. Sloan, once visited an exhibition
where the nude predominated. They
seemed a good deal impressed, they
seemed almost stupeied, by all the
white and cleaning pictures. AS they

sigh:

Roses From italy.

The rose, so long considered the
floral emblem Of England, was not
known in that country until the early
part Of the fifteenth century. Rose
trees were then brought from Italy
and planted in the royal gardens.
They we're sent as presents from the
holy father and highly esteemed by
royalty. 1t became the custom to
carve them over the doors of the con-
fessional as HOLY flowers, hence the
term sub rosa under the rose) used
