Eyes Of Youthful Genius.

Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes
were his most remarkable feature.
Under strong excitement one ap-
peared brighter and. as in the case Of
Byron, larger than. the other. Calcott
says: 1T was like the eye Of a hawk
and one could see his soul through
It." Barrett never saw such eyes,

and he confesses that he often pur-
posely differed in opinion from Chat
terton to see how wonderfully his eye
would strike fire, kindle and blaze up.

Mrs Rose Pastor Stokes, speaking
at the first annual conference OF the
American Museum OF Safety in New
York, says that speed is the real prob
lem of labor. 1t is not that machin-
cry is 30 dangerous, she says, but
what is called industrial efficiency
keys the workers up to pitch that
means in time mental and physical
exhaustion. She says that up to a
certain point worker can increase
speed, and that after that It begins
to decline. Business compels the at
titude of the owners of factories, she
says, and they do not realize how they
grind down the girls in their seeking
for efficiency.

ANNIE'S LOVE AFFAIR
BY GEORGE MUNsoN.

When Jim Maine went after any
thing he went after it tooth and nail.
That was the spirit In which he went
after Miss Martha Groves property.
Martha Grove had had the reputa-
tioa of miser, but nobody imagined
that, in addition to the cottage In
which she and Miss Annie, her niece
by marriage, dwelled. she had nine
thousand dollars in the bank, the fruit
OF boarding and clever investment
And the will that old Maine produced
gave him everything except the cot
tage and the land on which IT stood
1t was Annie's engagement to Tom
Clafiin that provoked the old woman's
rage. Annie had been a drudge ever
since her aunt adopted her at the
age of ten, fifteen years before. No
body had thought that the plain, quiet
girl would ever marry. But Claflin,
the young lawyer, saw underneath the
plain exterior-saw the heart OF gold
and the sterling character and loving
nature, long subdued and repressed,
but not killed. Annie had longed to

old woman-then, after years of vain
effort to win her love, Tom had come
along and claimed her.
When the mlserly old woman heard
of It she expressed herself in charac-
teristic fashion.
Not one penny of my money will
you get, you ungrateful child, If you
leave me in my old age" she said.
But, Aunt, we want you to make
your home with u.s." protested the
girl.
That only famed the old woman's
wrath. She sent for Maine. He was
her only friend. He was an elder
In some primitive tabernacle, and Miss
Martha belonged to 1t. The congrega-
tion were narrow fanatics, self-right-
eous Pharisees who thought all human
love an abomination.

The ends of the window seat may
be higher than the sides. but not
necessarily so, as both shape and de-
sign must conform to the other furni-
ture In the room to a certain extent.
1t is more difficult to fit the tufted
covering when the ends are higher
than the sides, but II often gives the
finished work a much better appear
ance.
The front OF the window seat is
covered with material the same as
the cushions and back, and II may be
put on smooth or plated. A smooth
finish is best because It does not col
lect dust; often. however. the plated
form looks better.
Sometimes drawers for magazines
and books are built In the seat. and
these must be considered in the GOV.

to lift up. There are as many styles
in window seats as In any other ar
ticles of furniture; but they are dif-
ferent, from the fact that each one

It is expected to remain.
A window seat is never complete
without plenty OF pillows. The square
down pillows with fancy covers that
are seen In every home. are not only
comfortable, but highly decorative.
Some OF these pillows are made too
nice TO use, which IL great mis-.
take. II Is much better to have
washable covers that may be easily

richest man in the village, and had a
reputation for graspingness. Little got
through his fingers.
The pair OF them stormed at the
girl until she fed to her room in ter
ror. She had hoped to escape into a
larger world with her marriage to
Tom but the plea Of duty to her
aunt broke her resolution. She gave
him up.
At least. she would have given him
up, only, the week following, her aunt
died suddenly. She died in the midst
of one of those scoldlng fits that made
the girls life gall and wormwood.
And then Tom came and put his arms
around Annie and told her that she
was his, just the same. and that he
had taken no notice OF her letter. be-
cause he knew.
That was just like Tom. He always
understood. And they meant to be
very happy together. But Tom was
as poor as a church mouse, and mar
riage would have been out OF the ques-
ton but for the money.

the girl. Take 1t as a loan, II you

Maine produced will written by the
old woman a month before she died,
and signed by witnesses. 1t left all
Miss Martha's money to him, stating
that. on account Of her ingratitude,
Annie was to get only the cottage.
That was worth two or three thousand
but it was only s1all share in the
comfortable estate.

shall fight It tooth and nail"
Annie protested. She did not want
to fight about the money, she said.
Maine was welcome to It, And she
hated scandal. Besides that, she knew
her aunt had borne her no love.
But Tom persuaded her. He knew
that the girls life had been an un-
happy one, though she had never told
him so. He knew that the will was
forged. And he meant to send Maine
to prison.
The case came up before the surro-
gates court. Maine had defied and
threatened Tom, but the young lawyer
saw that the man was in a frenzy OF
fear. Still, he could not keep his fin.
gers off the nine thousand dollars
And his witnesses were stanch to
him.
On the day before the trial the
young. lawyer received a visit from
fellow lawyer In the next town.
Il heard about your case, Ciaflin."
he said. Il think this puts new
light on the transaction, doesn't it7"
And he threw a document upon the
table. Tom picked it up. 1t was an
other will of Miss Marthas.

said the visitor. Game over to Sta

last moment?" pleaded Annie In court
the next morning. Dear. we have
the cottage-and, after all, that will
may be genuine"
Tom said nothing but clasped her
hand In his. And Annie resigned her
self to her lovers will in the matter.
When the case was called, however,
he amazed the court and spectators
| by saying:
We do not accept this will as genu-
inc, Your Honor. but, in Difference to
the wishes Of my client we are willing
/ to accept the sworn statement OF Mr..

And the wr1l was admitted to pro-
bate
Maine was flushed with triumph.

alone. The revulsion from his fears

the court room, after the court had

the wise thing in Withdrawing, young
man. You'd have lost your case, and
I'd have had you driven out of town,
too. 1t takes a big man to cross my
will"
Il hope you'll enjoy your property"
said Tom. But why didn't you take
the cottage. too, while you were about
it? You threw away two or three
thousand dollars there. And you
might just as well have had It if you
had had the nerve"
What do you mean?" beloved
Maine truculently.

face forward and looking the other
squarely in the eye, that II you hadn't

before the forged one that has been
