OF CASTE
BY II. M. EeRERT.

Caste Is not matter Of money in
Hicksville. The old residents asso-
ciate together by force of social gravi-
tation. Some are rich, some poor;
but before they take the stranger to
their hearts they want to know who
he is.
That was all that was the matter
with Laura Maynard's affair with
Will Sturgis. Laura's grandfather was
mechanic, but his grandfather had
shouldered a musket at Lexington. AS
for Laura's father, he was struggling
insurance agent. And Will Sturgis
was a man in overalls with greasy
hands.
How it quite came about Laura
hardly knew. She was bookkeeper at
the electrical works. Will, black with
grease, passed through the bookkeep-
ing department occasionally, and
sometimes said good-day to her. One
afternoon he picked up q package
that she had dropped in the street,
and carried it home for her.
Love, being blind, and, moreover,
unclothed, cares nothing for silks and
satins, frock coats or homespun.
Somehow Will always happened to be
at the gate when Laura left, and he
would walk along the street beside
her, and Laura knew that the people
were watching from the porches.
And then the evening came when
they knew they loved each other.
Laura would always remember that!
A rain-storm had driven them for shell
ter under the projecting caves of an
old barn. They stood there expect
antly, because each sensed the others
mind. Then Will took Laura's hand
in his.
Laura, dear, I love you," he said.
II want you to be my wife some day.
Will you, dear?"
And Laura could not answer be-
cause their faces were SO close to-
gether; and the next moment their
lips met.
She was SO radiantly happy that
her face betrayed her secret to all.
On the next evening her Aunt Mary,

There Is certain similarity be-
tween the electric lamp and the old

ing than the wick of the oil lamp.
Both will burn out in time.
Everybody who has used oil lamps
knows and expects this. The differ
ence between them and some ueers
of electric lamps Is that the latter fail
to realize the fact They expect the
filament, or wick, to last as long as
the glass globe in which 1t is enclosed.
So when the lamp burns red and does
not give its usually good light they
blame the electric light company for
not furnishing good current, what
ever that may be.
The fact is that when the lamp

Rather a slow day." yawned the
great detective as he laid aside the
daily paper and picked up the weekly
magazine. "But l see the automobile

surprised If l got case of that kind

AS if to prove that the great de-
tective never guessed wrong, the door
opened at that moment and a stout

clined to embonpoint rushed in, pant

Why stammered the stout man,
how did you know that?"

great detective. Now, for the ma
chine. This is evidently going to be
simple matter. What kind of tires did
IL have?"
1T had no tires" answered the stout
man.

And then something of quarrel en-.
sued, with tears on Laura's part, and
the interruption of the clock put an
end to the noon recess. And that eve-
ming Laura hurried home alone.
Had she done rightly? Or were not
her friends and family right? That
was the question she put to herself
repeatedly. She was not ashamed OF
Will But Will seemed ashamed or
himself Secrecy was abhorrent to
Laura's nature.
The next morning she was too III

the sudden advent Of fall, and aggra-
waited by her depressed condition, ran
into grip and for a week she was

21,450 feet, which is $50 feet more

WHY DO CHAINS BREAK?
An Expert Says the Link Gives Only
 at Crystallized Point

What happens To a chain In use that allows it to break under a certain load which 1t will safely carry after being annealedF asks the Boston Transcript.
 The reply given offhand to the sat- isfaction of most people is. 1t crystal lizes."
 Has anyone stopped to question if tnis be true9 Break the chain link; that particular ling at that particular splace has a surface that looks erystai- liled in any other part?
 l have never seen one that showed crystallizat ton In any other place. says writer in the American Machinist. and the only explanation l have heard was that of John Coffin. and his claim was that the link does not crystallize,, but breaks in detail. that is to say. It starts crack either where it Is weakest or when It IS subject to the 6reatest stress and repeated stresses carry the crack farther and farther un- cept this a 8 true. then what takes place or what does annealing do?
 John Coffin explained and demon- strated before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that If two pieces of steel which are perfectly fitted to- gether be heated to red heat they will weld together. Now, may not this explain what happens when the chain is annealedf The cracks in the links must of necessity go In to point where the metal has actually parted. but not opened so as to admit moisture to oXldize the surfaces. and then when heated to the annealing point the crack Welds up.
