Test for Mental Deficiency.

A Belgian physician, Doctor De-
moor, has been making observations
on the capacity of different people
for judging which Of two weights is
the heavier, and has satisfied himself
that, while ordinary people. especially
children, fail to appreciate a small diff
erence, the reverse is the case with
the imbecile, idiotic aud half-witted.
He prepared two bottles, differing in
size, partly filled with heavy min
eral but covered all over with black
paper and exactly equal in weight.
These he handed to $50 children Of
from six to fifteen years of age. OF
these $40 judged one bottle to be the
heavier. The other ten said the two
were the same weight. These ten chill
dren were all abnormal or degener-
ates.

Mark Truitt. encouraged by his sweet
heart, Unity Martin, leaves Bethel, his
native town, to seek his fortune. Simon
TrUftt tells Mark that 1t long has been
his dream to see a steel plant at Bethel
and asks the son to return and build
one If he ever gets rich. Mark applies to
Thomas Henley, head Of the Quinby Iron
works. for job and Is sent to the con-
struction gang. His success in that work
wins him a place as helper to Roman
Andzrejzski, open-hearth furnaceman. He
becomes boarder in Romans home and
assists Piotr, Romans son, in his studies.
Kazia, an adopted daughter, shows her
gratitude in such manner as to arouse
Marks interest in her. Heavy work in
the intense heat of the furnace causes
Mark to collapse and Kazia cares for
him. Later Roman also succumbs and
Mark gets his job Roman resents this
and tells Mark to find another boarding
place. Five years elapse during which
Mark has advanced to the foremanship,
while his labor-saving devices have made
him invaluable to the company. In the
meantime Kazia has married one Jim
Whiting. Mark meets with an accident
which dooms him to be a cripple for life.
He returns to Bethel intending to stay
there. He finds Unity about to marry an
other man and wins her back. Unity
urges him to return to his work in the

Mark, leaning hard on his cane,
limped stifiy up the terrace steps to
the porch. The parlor-Unity was
beginning to refer to it, not easily, as
the drawing room--was lighted, the
shades were not drawn.
Unity was reclining In graceful atti-
tude-she could be relied upon to pre-
sent graceful poses at all times-in a
big easy chair. Her gown, OF some

from the carefully achieved couture
to the black velvet slippers that
peeped out from beneath her skirt,
avouched the fact that Unity had
mastered more than the rudiments of
the art of personal decoration.
He went into the house. doffed his
heavy overcoat and Imped into the
drawing room. Unity did not by 80
much as glance around disturb her
graceful pose until he was at her side.
Then she languidly held up hand to
him.
He brushed it with his lips. You're
looking scrumptious, Unity" He went
SO far as to give brief admiring pat
to her hair.
She moved petulantly. Don't!
You'll muss my hair"
He dropped her hand. That would
be shame, wouldn't it?"
He sat down near her. She sighed
The sigh, one might have thought, was
one of alarm and was because she
had noted his pallor, which even
after the spirited drive was so pro.
nounced.
Been hard day?" But the ques-
ton was not Unity's She had not
marked his air of exhaustion or, If she
had, was so used to it that she was
not concerned.

plaintively. so very exciting! And

Tell me the truth. Aren't you glad

looked curiously at her. Long ago he
the shallow tenderness and admiration
summoned by her sweetness of flesh
and perfect grooming were not love.
He gently disengaged himself.
No, thanks l might acquire the
taste. And it's too expensive" He
limped away from her and pretended
to examine a book that lay on the
piano.
She assumed an air of gentle re-
proach. "Oh, Mark, you don't mean
that?'
She did not detect the warning note
in his laugh.
"Oh, no! OF course mott"
He returned to her. They kissed

And on that he was firm, Though
he was made to pay in many ways Tor
his refusal.
But in due time and without man
agement a dinner invitation came on
whose initiative, being secret neither
Henley nor his wife has ever disclosed.
Hence we may not speak surely as
to the accuracy OF certain differences
that Unity drew.
You see!" she cried, showing the
note to Mark. Her manner said plainly,
II alone did it, in spite of the indif-
ference Of my husband"
81 see," he responded dryly. Are
you going?"
She treated this question to the con-
temptuous silence 1t deserved.
And as Mark stood In the hall and
watched her descending the stairs for
the start, he was bound to confess that
she made a fair-oh, very fair
picture.
Why" he wondered, ibid the Al

nothing in it?' This seems to prove
that he had been pretty effectually dis

However careless he might affect to

the event. Often he had asked him.

had never let down the bars before his

murmured graciously something quite
unintelligible, and Henley, who seemed
rather bored. Then he was introduced
to his dinner partner, Mrs. Belloc. who
mistook his set expression for stern
mesa, and was in the end led by her
without mishap to their places near
Henley's end of the table.
HA had no small talk and Mrs. Bel
loo, after one or two barren essays,
allowed him breathing spell.
Urity was at the very apex of her
existence. She was the prettiest
woman present, with the loneliness of
physical full bloom just before it be-
gins to fade. Her hearts desire had
been granted-no longer must she be
content with carelessly tossed crumbs
and crusts of preferment; she sat,
both literally and figurattvely, at the
table of the city's elect.
The salad was being served when
Mrs. Saunders turned to Mark. Mrs.
Saunders was one of the insecure
ladies who, following Mrs. Henley's
example, had called upon Unity. She
had just been listening, too long for
patience, to her partners praise Of
Mrs. Truitt.
II should think you'd be jealous.

from Florida who spoke from a wheel
