Suddenly, the silence in the next
room was disturbed by the ringing OF
an electric bell. There was a bound
On the other side OF the wall and
Erik's voice of thunder:
Somebody ringing! Walk in,

A sinister chuckle.

Steps moved away, door closed
l had no time to think Of the fresh
horror that was preparing; | forgot
that the monster was only going out
perhaps to perpetrate a fresh crime;
l understood but one thing: Christine
was alone behind the wall!
The Vicomte de Chagny was al
ready calling to her:
"Christine! Christine,"
AS We could hear what was said in
the next room, there was no reason
why my companion should not be
heard in his turn. Nevertheless, the
viscount had to repeat his cry time
after time
At last, a faint voice reached US.
Il am dreaming" it said
Christine, Christine, it Is l.,
Raoul!"
But answer me, Christine!
IL heavens name, If you are alone,
answer me"
Then Christine's voice whispered
Raouls name.
Yes! Yes! 1t is L. 1t is not a
dream! Christine, trust me!
We are here to save you
but be prudent! When you
hear the monster, warn us!"
Then Christine gave way to fear
She trembled lest Erik should dis
cover where Raoul was hidden; she
told US in a few hurried words that
Erik had gone quite mad with love
and that he had decided to kill every
body and himself with everybody il
she did not consent to become his
wife. He had given her till eleven
o'clock the next evening for retiec-
ton. 1t was the last respite. She
must choose, as he said, between the
wedding mass and the requiem.
And Erik had then uttered phrase
which Christine did not quite under
stand:
Yes or no! If your answer is no,
everybody will be dead and bur1ed."
But l understood the sentence per-
fectly, for it correspondent in a ter
rible manner with my own dreadful

Amusing Artistic Conceptions.

Many child, as well as some older
persons, has puzzled over that beam"

But it was left to Solomon Bernard.
in his woodcuts illustrating the Bible,
published at Lyons, in 1853, to pic
ture this beam as one of wood, rectan-
gular in section, and several feet in
length Then there is the case of an
English painter who depicted an elab-
crate rainbow. Unfortunately, he
painted it wrong side out But we for

admiration for the artists magnificent
audacity when We learn that he
charged twenty pounds for repainting
the rainbow colored in accordance

Beauty No Longer a Marvel

sible world, who made their way with
year-long Journeys to Paris, caught
glimpse of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loveliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see pref
ty woman, possibly because there are
SO many of them. Indeed, beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as a profession is dead.-Lon-

Household Hints.

To cure your husband of swearing
around the house is easy, though it
may require little practice. Swear
whenever he does-and even more pro-
faneiy, if possible.
Stair carpets may be made to last
indefinitely by using them only when
you have company.
There are many cures for warts.
but as a rule nothing that has cured
anybody elses wart will cure yours.
To keep undesirable visitors away
from your house teach the dog to be
overly friendly to them.

At the annual hair fair recently
held at Limoges, France, merchant

was the estimated weight of the whole
market, was priced at this figure.
There were bids of from G12 to ETA
for white hair. and of rather less for
the rarer qualities of red hair.
