this afiction tended to draw Nella the
closer to him.
One day Bruce Thomas, a lawyer
from the city, came down to Wadham
to close up some business of the es
tate. He was manly, fine looking
young fellow just starting out in his
profession. When he called at the
Brooks home he found 1t the scene OF
great commotion. The servant told
him that Miss Brooks was in state OF
great distress and could not see him
Bruce, however, dwelt upon the i'm
portance of his business mission.
Please tell Miss Brooks that all
there is to do is to acknowledge her
signature" he exclaimed. A minute
later the object of his call came into
the room. Despite her tear-stained
face, its deathly pallor and her mani
fest agitation, to Bruce Thomas she
appeared as the fairest creature he
had ever beheld.

Mans In Tapestry.

Two English-worked tapestry mans
which belonged to Horace Walpole
have just been put on exhibition at the
Victoria and Albert Museum. They
came from the Bodleian library, at Ok
ford, and are of immense size, though
they only cover few counties of Eng
land. One OF them is fragmentary
but the other is a good example of
English weaving. 1t was woven by
Richard Hyckes. on William Sheldon's
looms, after he had studied weaving
in Holland. Every place marked is
given a little vignette OF towers and
turrets, and quaint inscriptions
abound. One of them runs: This

HIS LONELY CLIENT
BY ETHEL WAGNER MOULTON.
<><>s>sS

(Copyrght 1914, by w. G. Chapman)
At twenty.one Basil Worden half in
vented a new suction cleaner, talked
too much about it, dallied in getting
it protected and claimed that big cor
poration stole the idea away from him.
This embittered Worden. He grum-
bled that the world was all against
him, and acted out the child of genius
rudely crushed down by an adverse
fate and the hard hearted neglect of a
cold cruel world.
He was in love at the time, or
fancied he was, and truth is that had
he acted a little more manly and SEN
sible, Nella Brooks might have learned
to esteem him. After a while, how
eve she began to tire of his cowardly
complaints against destiny. She real
lied the flaws in his weak character
and when he proposed to her gently
but firmly declined the honor
'I'll get even!" Kissed Worden, show
ing his true malevolent spirit. you'll
rue the day you cast away an honest
love"
This made Nella more skcptical Of
his manliness than ever. She shud.
dered at the evil glare in his eye, and
when he had departed was glad that
she was through with him.
The world don't want useful inven-
tions," snarled the misanthropic
genius. 'I'll give them dose of some
thing else"
And he did. Worden was gone from
the village for year when an article
appriscd his former friends that he
was fugitive from justice. 1t ap-
pcarod that he had turned his inven-
tive genius to very bad account He
had devised clever apparatus for
boring holes in safes. It seemed that
this device was a gobletlike vessel
composed of a metal refractory to
heat. a hard wooden pincer was used

War Distances.

War, besides being a great leveler,
Is also a great educator. Places we
had never even heard of previously
are now becoming as familiar in our
mouths as household words" The
distances are apt to be somewhat con-
fusing unless understood. It ought,
however to be quite easy to remember
that a meter measures about one and
one-twelfth yards, or more exactly,
1897 inches. A decameter is 10 me-
ters, a hectometer is 100 meters, and
a kilometer is 1000 meters, or little
more than three-fifths of mile. The
Russians express the length of their
marchej or the distance from place to
place in versts. A verst is rather
more tlan kilometer, the exact dis
tance being 0.662SS Of mile, or be-
tween three-fifths and four-tifths Of
that distance.
