Two Meanings.

The different meanings that a sim
pie turn of expression can give q word
are often curious and sometimes anus
ing An anecdote of Charles Lamb, the
famous English author, illustrates this
very pleasantly.
On a wet, miserable, foggy day, in
London, he was accosted by a beggar
with:
Please, sir, bestow a little charity
upon a poor, destitute woman. Be
lieve me. sir. I have seen better days"
so have l." said Lamb. handing the
poor creature a shilling. so have l.
It's a miserable day. even for Lon
DON"
A similar illustration is Of the man
who saw some mischievous boys car
rying on fruit from his orchard.
What are you about?" he called.
Justify.
About going!" called one of them,
as the marauders disappeared over
the fence.-Youth's Companion.

and its perils had become personified
and stalked about beside her. She
gave unusual attention to the fasten-
ings of the doors and windows. Ordi-
narily Bob had attended to these de-
tails in a most casual manner and she
had never given them a thought She
put out the light and went up to the
room overhead. The fox terrier ran
ahead, but at the top of the stairs she
ordered him back and shut the door
For what seemed to her hours, Jane
lay and surrendered herself to foolish
vagaries Of a disturbed mind She
knew that Frieda's sententious express
sion OF her fears was groundless. That
estimable person had discounted her
declaration of alarm by a raucous and
continuous snore. But this only &C.
centuated the loneliness Jane felt. At
last the cuckoo clock in the room be-
low told the hour of midnight Mystic
and ominous it sounded instead of Joy
full and vibrant. Another hour passed.
The cuckoo sang its single tone dis
mally and foreboding. A half hour
more and Jane drifted into troubled
dreams.
She awoke with a start. Dick was
barking furiously.
Jane sat up in her bed tense and at
tentive. Her first thought was to light
the gas, but something deferred her.
There was a note Of shrill defiance in
the dogs bark that bespoke encounter.
1t was punctuated with sounds OF scuf-
fle and attack. Suddenly she heard a
rush, the fall of an overturned chair
and a desperate half yelp and half
growl, smothered. but vicious; then
a thud, a pause and quiet. She jumped
from the bed, threw open the window
and screamed. She cared for nothing
now, knew nothing but a woman's in
stinct for help. She screamed again
and her cry was echoed from the room
next hers. Presently she ceased. She
saw the figure of a man beneath her
window and heard the reassuring
voice of Collins and then the voice of
his wife. That restored her.
Stay where you are," Collins called.
Don't unlock your door. saw him
get away. but you can't tell. There
might be another. The windows open.
I'll come right up"
II Collins thought there was another
it did not retard his progress toward
his neighbor. In a moment he was at
James door with reassuring word
ITS all right" he said. i've been
through the house. Mrs. Reynolds Mrs.
Collins is downstairs. Well take you
home"
Jane opened the door. Convulsively
she seized her neighhor's outstretched
hand. They hammered on the door Of
the hysterical Frieda, whose windows
opened on the rear of the house and
who. subsequently, had not been ap-
prised of the succor at hand. Reas-
sured, at last, she ceased her clamor-
Gus calls and showed a wild, scared
face.
Downstairs was the tragedy. At the
sight of 1t Jane leaped forward and
clasped the lifeless form of her pet
terrier to her side. Dick was dead
Dead. but the brute that crushed his
life and spirit had left a token; a
tribute to dumb loyalty. In the dogs
set jaws was a bit Of soiled cloth.
1t lacked two hours Of dawn. Jane
and the still trembling Frieda accom-
panied the Collins to their home The
lowly suburb had seen its first burglar.

CHAPTER XII.
The Day He Would Remember.

The Day He Would Remember.
The coming of the burglar brought
things to a focus. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows nobody good, and Jane. though
she was frightened half to death. saw
in this untoward incident a strong ar
gument to advance to Bob. Her en-
deavor to wean him from his deter.
mined attitude towards Brands offer
had met with little success. In fact,
since the sharp rebuff she had re-
ceived on the night of the millionaire's
first visit she had touched but lightly
on the matter. She had not conquered
her resentment of her husbands words
and she had gone blindly on In her
conspiracy" with Brand. enjoying the
automobile rides and the small lux
uries that his advance payments"
brought without stopping to consider
how she was ultimately to earn her
wage.
Brand, strangely enough, had not
pressed her for reports. He seemed to
be as willing as she to let the affair
take its course and rely on some final
coup1for success.
But Jane realized that nearly four
weeks had passed and that soon Brand
would have to have her husbands re-
port on the cement or supply the su-
pericr kind and let the gold lie dor.
mant in the corn field" where he had
discovered it. II Bob was determined
to tread the straight and narrow path
she was equally determined that he
must not miss this opportunity Of Q
life time. And II she had had the
slightest doubts as to the probity Of
the transaction, the millionaire had
balished them. His ready speech and
the businesslike tone of his arguments
had convinced her that his ideas were
simply the embodiment Of successful
tactics of the day.
Money makes money. That was
Brands constant theme. why, II Bob
gets this $4,000" he had told her,
that will be but the beginning Of his
fortunes. can point the way to in
vestments and speculation that will
double or triple the sum for him in Q
year."
So, Jane almost desperate now, de-
cided to make capital out Of her dis
tress. and what she knew would be
Bob's distress, when he heard Of her
peril. and urge him again to take the
means of escape from an environment
they both had come to realize was not
congenial.

Prisoners Of War.

Already q large number Of German,
prisoners have been taken by the al
lies. In the Franco-G German war or
1870, the French prisoners reached the.
extraordinary total of 21,508 oflicers'
and 702.048 men. OF these nearly ESQ.,
900 were the Paris garrison. and over
$4,000 represented the French troops
disarmed and interned IN Switzerland
Prisoners of war are always an en-
barrassment and a source of consid--
cradle worry and expense. though
their numbers are frequently lessened
by interchange Of prisoners taken by
the enemy.

Detecting impurities In Honey.


Biological tests of money are de-
scribed by J. Thoni in the Schweizer-
ische Bienen-zeitung. Such tests are
necessary for directing artificial or
adulterated honey when the natural
product is almost perfectly initiated
as to its physical and chemical prop
critics. ~
Two tests are described in detail
the diastase reaction. based on the
fact that honey contains diastatic
ferment secreted by the bee, which
in contact with soluble starch, is cap.
able of Transforming the latter into
sugar; and the precipifin reaction
based on the fact that honey contains
a special protein secreted by the bee
which. when inoculated into rabbits
causes the formation of antibodies In
the blood serum. These antibodies
when mixed with the honey under
examination. yield a precipitate. and
the quantity of this precipitate indi-
Gates the kind and amount of the
adulteration.

be said that a 32-foot pipe vibrates 16
times q second at its lowest note
(CCCC), and this is very near the
point below which vibrations cease to
form a continuous sound. while 12S-
foot pipe vibrates but four times q
second when producing its lowest
sound. It was found. however, that q
group of pipes giving overtones could
be arranged to produce, when sound
ed together, synthetic tone, and BY
this means stops producing the effect

Collars and Cuffs.

In darker ages the expression Col
lars and Cuffs meant the late lamented
king of England; the importance and
significance of collars today. however,
lies in the fact that they are holding
their own IN an amazing way with all
the newer accessories Of dress. The
collars have been getting sitter and
sitter, and now there are to be stir
cuffs, too. You may get them in very
nearly every material. blu. the most
popular is pique I'D linen. These stin
collars are made mostly after the
Gladstone pattern. but the sheer ba-
tiste has been disregarded. since II

lars and cuffs are cut with naring
points, and the nice part Of the starchi-
ness il that the material does not
