clared, nice-looking young man with

ductor:
"Mr. Conductor" said he, producing
his transportation, will this ticket al

conductor, examining the ticket.
What do you want to stop for?"

relatives of mine," answered the
young man. Their name is Johnson"

will have plenty of time. The ticket

young man, with jolted expression.

the conductor, II don't know how long
you intend to stay, but l know the

Factories That Float.

Floating factories have become an
important part of the development
of the forest resources of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water.
courses and the great expense OF
erecting. land plants for the utilization
of the lumber resources makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill it can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system Of log.
ging Plants for the preparation OF
tannin extracts have also been estab-
lish in this manner. The plants are
built on fat boats, 200 feet long, by
81 feet wide, capable of carrying a
load of 470 tons.

Where Women Bun Cars.

The suggestion that women may be
employed as street car conductors in
Philadelphia has brought out the fact
that the women of Latin America,
usually thought of as sheltered, retir-
ing and unprogressive, have been DO
ing this kind of work for years. Dur
ing the war between Chill and Peru,
when all the men of Chill were need
ed at the front, women took their
places on the street cars, and San
tiago, Valparaiso and several other
cities have had women conductors
ever since.

CHAPTER xx-(contlnued.)

She hesitated. In a measure she
was relieved, for she had feared the
man at the door might be her hus-
band. But she was greatly agitated
and troubled. Everyone in the place
was looking at her.
Nat" she said, trying to speak
firmly, 81 can't see you now. I'm very
busy. Please go away"
"Come!"
"I can't come. Go away. Pleased"

Comet"
She obeyed then. She could not
have a scene there, before all these
strangers. She stepped past him into
the little room. He followed and
closed the door.
''Nat," she said, turning to him,
"why did you come? How could you
be so cruel? Il"
He interrupted her, but not with
words. The next moment his arms
were about her and she was pressed
tight against the breast Of his blue
jacket.
"Keziah," he whispered, I've come
to take you home. LONE for good.
No, stay where you are and I'll tell
you all about it. Praise be to God!

When Upham came up the stairs af-
ter his long interview with ''the boss"
he found the door at the top closed
When he ratified the latch that door

Keziah. pale, trembling, scarcely
realizing the situation even yet, did
not speak. But Captain Nat Ham

silence. A few minutes later, her

GiJomy stairs, and emerged into the
sunshine together.

If live thousand years. I, and two
or three other young shavers, was hid
in the little room off the vestry-the
room where they kept the dishes they
used for church suppers-and we
heard the whole business. OF course
nobody knew that Nat was goin' to
marry Keziah then, but they did know
that he want goin' to marry Grace
Van Horne, and had given her up to
the minister of his own accord. So
Daniels's guns were spiked and he

look at him. He marched into that
meetin' and up to the platform as stiff
and dignified as If he'd swallered

to order-twas a full one, for all
hands and the cook was there-and
then got up to speak.
HE opened fire right off. He raked
John Ellery fore and aft. The par

and from the society. It'll be like
cuttin' off my right hand, but shall
do it. Are you ready for the vote?
Those in favor Of retaining the pres
ent minister of this parish will rise.
Those opposed will remain seated"
Every man on the floor stood up.
Daniels himself was the only one that
stayed settin' down.
"Tt is a vote, says he, white as a

men, bid you good day

Captain Daniels and his daughter

never came back to Trumet to live.
Annabel remained single until after

Square Foot and Foot Square.

There is no difference in area be-
tween one square foot and one foot
square, though there may be differ
ence in the shape and dimensions of
the surfaces. For instance. one square
foot may be inclosed by circular
line, a hexagon, a triangle or a rec
tangle. One foot square is an area
of fixed form, the four sides being
equal and the four angles all right
angles.

Duty as a Reformer.

There is no such reformer as an ex-
acting duty. Note the asceticism OF
athletes and scouts. The ravages OF
drink are abated as machinery, with
it's demand for a clear brain and
steady nerves, is multiplied on every
hand. Each new stress of business
and professional rivalry puts fresh
premium on sobriety and wise re-
straint.
