by Thomas Kingsford, q mechanic.
One day he threw Q mess of cornI

q small quantity of starch at the bot

Thomas Bolsover, a Sheffield mel
chanic, was mending the handle Of al

saw these metals fuse together and
the idea of silver plating was born inl

heated them till the edge Of the silver
began to melt. He took them from thel
fire. let them cool slightly. then rolled
and hammered them to the desired
thickness. This was the origin OF

Cornelius Dubbel left Q bottle of

to return to him. and she was going
back to America, because she felt that
her duty lay there.
They parted with averted faces, b.
cause each knew that at q word the
other would follow-follow to the
worlds end. And the night Of the nth
day came.
Gardiner slept through . confused
dream Of cannonade, and awakened to
hear cries and stamping upon the deck
above him. Women were screaming
in fear. He thought the ship had
struck an uncharted rock and was
sinking. He was glad this was the
end. He lay still In his berth.
The cries died away. and he heard
the splashing Of the lifeboats in the
water. Then. with . shrek. some
thing struck tho vessel with . shock
that made her SILVER from stern to
bow. Again and again. And now
Gardner understood. A night attack
must have been made by . German
cruiser; she had given the liner time
to get her passengers into the boats
and was now sinking her.
The thought Of Margery in an open
boat at sea came to the man like Q
blow In the face. He leaped out OF
his berth, flung on his clothes and
rushed up on the deck. He saw Marg-
ery. She was standing at his side,
under the stars, on . deserted ship
now settling into the water. which
bulked around them, . great gray
waste, q primal wilderness.
AS they stood there a searchlight
swept out of the night and enveloped
them, and once more came the SHREK

near them. Then the cruiser, evident

Polish That erlnes Out Natural TIM

Polish That Brings Out Natural Tint.
A superior polish that is said to have
been kept always on hand . century
ago In the best households is q SIM
pie mixture and is made SO inexpen-
sively at home that 1t can be used as
freely to keep the hardwood floors in
order as for polishing furniture. says
the Washington Herald
A quart of turpentine may be used
and added, cut into fine pieces, a quar-
ter Of q pound of the beeswax-the old
yellow variety. II will take several
days to dissolve the wax, but little
shaking at intervals will shorten the
time. When it is ready to use 1t will
be of the consistency Of cream, and
should be used sparingly and rubbed
in well with an old piece Of flannel
If used lavishly as one is tempted to
do with things that are cheap, it will
look smeary.
The luster from this polish Is beau
tiful and enduring. Every time 1t II

others in the rapid changes in styles
which seem to come to pass over

This short jacket originated with
the house Of Callot IN Paris. They

style felt its effect ard embraced
the new idea.
