speCt made up principally of fear. He
was young; he had been fair to them !;
he was their economic savior.
They went mad, and, at first permit
ting him no opportunity to make the
speech which he so feared, seized him
as if he had been the winning player
al a football game and bore him round
the great room of the factory upon
their shoulders.
There was affection in the strong
arms Of the men who lifted him; there
were tears in many women's eyes
which watched. Not only was this
youth the boss; he was the young
boss. They knew he had been plucky
in his loyalty to them, rumOrs of the
splendid offer which the trust had
made had been circulated freely. He
was accredited with that intention
most admired by real Americans, and
these workmen, in this old New Eng
land mill. in this old New England vii
lage. were principally native sons.
He was not content to be an idler
he insisted upon buckling down to a
mans Job. And had he not decided to
take up the burden of gum-manufac
ture largely through his feeling OF
responsibility to them and to the
town? Financially the offer of the
trust must certainly have been more
tempting than the prospect of CONNER
cial battle which, even should 1t win
would inevitably involve long, expen
sive and intensely wearing strain!
Would they ride him round and
round upon their shoulders? Would
they cheer him till the blood rushed
to their heads? Would the woman
want to kiss him and the youngsters
look at him as if he were species Of
superior being? Verify, they would
And verify they did.
In the meantime, in the Office, Clara
was left quite alone. She may have

which she would very gladly have wit

something far more interesting-to

RADIUM FOUND IN BALTIMORE
But Deposits, However, Are Not Elk
peeted to Be Commercially
Valuable.

A deposit of radium bearing ore
within the city limits of Baltimore
may be seen by anyone who strolls out
beyond the Wyman property, near Wy
man park, to the abandoned quarry,
which was formerly known as Wyght's
quarry, says the Baltimore Sun.
Unfortunately the ore is not plenti-
full enough to make it worth while to
extract the radium, according to DIR,
Joseph 7. Singewald of the geological
department Of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity.
That small deposits of uranium ore
were to be found in the quarry has
been known for at least twenty-five
years, says Doctor Singewald, by the
savants of the. Hopkins. but it is not
commercially valuable.
The ore is found in pegmatite dikes
or layers and crevasses in the rocks
1t was probably deposited there, thinks

1t was designed by Kurzman for the
brides sister, Mrs. Francis b. Sayre,
and is fine example of what may be
achieved with familiar materials and
a simple shape, in the way of an I'M
usual piece of millinery.
Nearly all the hats made for tia
bride were in blue, and several of
the various sailor" shapes were
chosen by her. Blue, in fact, seems to
be a favorite color with all the
members of the family. The hat
worn by Miss Margaret Wilson was
an exquisite shade of blue maline.
and the bride provided her trousseau
with one hat having a blue straw
brim and a blue maline crown with
MORE ribbon bows at front and back.
There was also a Georgette sailor of
shiny blue straw trimmed with small
blue tips and rose at the left side.
Another sailor, in Alice blue. was

CHAPTER XII.

The celebration over. the mill once
more settled down to that industrial
peace which is accompanied by the
deafening roar OF machinery. the
clamor of the busy hammer on the
nail, sinking home in packing boxes,
the shouts of workingmen and women
forced to thrust their words above the
strident medley which surrounds them.
There was new life in the old mill,
new confidence had taken place of
fear and fierce antagonism in the
hearts of hundreds, an esprit de corps
had been born suddenly such as had
not existed in that factory for many
years. In one happy sentence of his
bashful speech Broadway had struck a
keynote. He had said
'And-er-now, you fellows. keep
your brains-er-busy with this stu
alton. | have bucked the Trust. I've
bucked the Trust for you and the old
town. Now if you don't help me beat
it to the ropes, stagger it, blind it,
pulp it, put it down and out as the all
powerful force in the gum-industry,
it's going to wipe me off the map, and
when I'm wiped you're wiped.
I've fought for you, and lots of
folks will say l am a fool for doing it.
If you start in and fight for me; if
we both fight heart and soul and night
and day to win against the widest
competition that was ever known in
chewing-gum. we WILL win. Anything
else means our sponge in the air and a
call for doctors and an ambulance, or
more likely, undertaken, for Jones

These words had struck home. The

nized the justice of the burden Broad
way laid upon them. Workingmen are
fair; they are fairer in old, little towns
like Jonesville than they are in great

Of personality has passed out of in

composition it is now in the form of
autunite, or uranium mica, SO called
because it is composed of thin flakes
like ordinary mica, but has greenisb
yellow tone that is unmistakable to
the expert in such things. Radium is
extracted from autunite In a very
small way in Portugal
The only important sources of "a
dunn known at present are the pitch
blende mines in Austria and the car
hottie deposits in Colorado. Formerly
that carnotite ore was sent to Europe.
to be used for making dyes from the
uranium. Then it was found that the
European purchasers were getting
radium as well as dyes and there was
a great rush to get the radium mines
A large part of the deposits have been
reserved for the uses of medicine and
science through the efforts of Doctor
Kelly working in conjunction with the
United States bureau Of mines.

Bora8 Water for Stains.

Keep upon your toilet table a bottle
of borax solution, made by dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of powdered borax
in a pint of hot water. When the
first suggestion of soil appears upon
any of your light cloth gowns rub
the spot with a piece >of absorbent cot
ton wet with the solution. This sim
pie operation will remove dust, mud
spots and perspiration stains. 1t is
better than gasoline or naphtha, as
its application does not leave the ugly
circle of stain that so frequently fol-
lows the use of other cleaning fluids.

to offer the slightest civility to any
person of the other sex whom he does
not happen to know. To assist a wom-
an into car will subject him to sus-

Anatole France says somewhere
that one result of getting rid of old
decisions is that they are often re-
placed with others of worse aspect.
This present phase of popular credul-
ity on the subject would deserve to be
regarded merely as silly if it were
not for the tendency of an exaggera-
tion of the fancied dangers of the evil
to confuse the public mind about it's
real dangers.
