 Laughingly Gail finished her third dance down. She had enjoyed several sparkling encounters in passing with Dick Rodley, and she was buoyantly exhilarated as she started to stroll from the floor with her partner.

OWED SUCCESS TO CHANCE
Accidental Discovery Enabled Man to Build Machine That Simpllfied
 Diamond Separation.

A young man in the Kimberley dia- mond mines had been experimenting for months in an effort to find a way to separate diamonds from other stones so as to eliminate the tiresome, tedious, manipulating process. His ef forts and labors had all been in vain, but he refused to be discouraged and adhered to his purpose.
 One day he was working at his garnet happened to be lying on a board before him. In some way he tipped the board at such an angle that the two stones rolled together to- ward the edge It happened that there was small grease spot on the board, was stopped and held, while the gar net passed on and fell over the edge. Wondering whether this had been a mere accident or whether the grease possessed the peculiar property of at tracing diamonds and allowing other stones to pass over it. he tried again and again with the first diamond and with various others and found that if a board were coated with grease and vibrated slightly while held in an in clined position the diamonds placed on it would be caught and held by the grease, while all of the ether stones would roll off He at once set to work and as a result of his accidental dis covery soon built machine which was success from the very begin ming. In a short time it was doing all of the work that had formerly been Cone by hand. saving considerable time and expense in the operation Pathfinder.

 Let's get to the details" parked a voice with the volume of a St. Der nard. It came from Arthur Grandin, the head of the Union Fuel company. which controlled all the wood and coal in the United States, and all the oil in the world. His bald spot came exactly on level with the back of his chair, and he wore fierce mustache.
 I'm putting in the Atlantic Pacific as my share of the pool, gentlemen" explained Allison. My project, as have told you, is to make this the main trunk, the vertebrae as 1t were, of the International Transportation company. I have consolidated with the Alp. the Municipal Transports tion company, and l have put my en- tire fortune in it, to lay 1t on the table absolutely unencumbered"
 He threw down the Atlantic Pacific railroad and the Municipal Transporta- tion company in the form of a one sheet typewriter paper.
 Wed better appoint someone to look after the legal end of things" suggested the towering Haverman. whose careless, lounging attitude con. trasted oddly with his dignifed long beard.
 "I'll take care of It." said W. T. Chis- holm of the Majestic Trust company, and drawing the statement in front of him, he set a paperweight on it.
 "The first step is not one of incor- poration." went on Allison. Before that is done there must be but one railroad system in the United States"
 Smooth-shaven old Joseph G. Clark nodded his head. There was but one cereal company in the United States, and the Standard, in the beginning, had been the smallest Two of the heads of rival concerns were now in Clark's employ, one was pauper, and three were dead He disliked the pau per.

"Gentlemen, There Is Your Empire!" ,"
 The seven quiet gentlemen who sat with Allison at his library table, fol- lowed the concluding flourish of his hand toward the map on the wall, and either nodded or blinked appreciative- ly. The red line on his map was com plete now, a broad, straight line from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and to it were added, on either side. irregular. angling red lines like the legs of cen tipede, the feeders of the various sys- -tems which were under control of the new Atlantic-P Pacific railroad.

"CIa ssical" Music.

Many people have an idea that only the compositions of the old masters are classical and frequently imagine that these are classical because they belong to the past It is not antiquity or the name of the composer that de- termines whether a piece of music is classical or otherwise The true mean. ing of classical music is: Compost tions which maintain a certain stan dard; music of the first rank Compo- sitions can be classical and romantic at the same time. The word romantic, as applied to music, means imagina- tive, fairylike. Music which is clas- sical and at the same time romantic, is more emotional, more fanciful, more poetic and less rigid and formal than strictly classical compositions. For example, Bs chs works are. more frequently. strictly classical, whereas Mendelssohn' and Schumann's are both classical and romantic.

nounced that the Self Help Glee club would now sing that entrancing ditty, entitled Mary Had Little Calf"
 It was only in the blossom of the evening at Ted Teasdale's country house. the same being about eleven o'clock, and the dance was still to be- gin. Lucille Teasdale's vivid idea for making her house party notable was to induce their guests to amuse them. selves; and their set had depended upon hired entertainers for so long that the idea had all the charm of dis. tinct novelty. Fine? No end of it! One could always be sure of having lively time around Lucille and Ted Teasdale and Arly Fosland. Gerald Fosland was at this party. Fine chap Gerald, and beautifully decent in his attentions to Arly. Pity they were so rotten bored with each other; but there you were! Each should have married a blonde.
 Gail Sargent fairly scintillated with enjoyment She had never attended so brilliant a house party. Her own set back home had a lot of fun, but this was in some way different. The people were no more clever, but there were more clever people among them that was it. There had been a wider range from which to pick. which was why. in New York, there were sc many circles. and circles within circles.
 The men whom Lucille and Arly had collected were an especial joy. They had all the accomplished outward sym bols of fervor without any of it's op pressive insistence. Gail, as an agree able duty to her new found self. ex perimented with several of them, and found them most amusing and pleas ant. but nothing more disturbing.
 Dick Rodley was the most persist ent, and, in spite of the fact that he was so fawlessly handsome as to ex cite ridicule, Gail found herself. by and by, defending him against her own iconoclastie sense of humor He reached her after the minstrel show while Houston Van Ploon and Willis Cunningham were still struggling pro fanely with their burnt cork, and he stole her from under the very eyes oi Jack Lariby, while that smitten youth was exchanging wit. at tremendous loss, with caustic Arly Fosland. Have you seen the new century plant in the conservatory?" Dick asked. beaming down at her, his black eyes glowing like coals.
 He strolled with Gail to the seat be- hind the rose screen, but 1t was fully engaged, and he led the way out to- ward the geranium alcove.
 Where is the century plant?" He was a tremendously pleasant fellow When she walked through a crowded room with Dick. she knew, from the

She Was Glad to Rescue Herself
 From the Whrl of Anger.

With sharp intake of his breath, the fellow, a ruddy-faced, thick-necked, full-lipped young man who had fol lowed her with his eyes all evening, suddenly turned, and caught her in his embrace.
 Gail, turning, hurried out of the side door to the veranda. Her knees were trembling, but the fresh, cold air steadied her, and she walked the full length of the wide porch, trying in- stinctively to forget the sickening hu- initiation She was near a window, and, advancing step, she looked in. It was the library. and Allison sat there, so clean and wholesome look ing, with his pink shaven face and his white evening waistcoat, and his dark hair beginning to sprinkle with gray at the temples. He was so sturdy and so strong and so dependable looking, as he sat earnestly talking with Bab- bitt. Gail hurried to the front door and rang the bell.
 Hello, Gail," greeted the cheery voice of Allison, as she came in. My dance next, isn't !t?"
 His voice was so good, so comfort ing, so reassuring.
 q think so," she replied. standing hesitantly in the doorway, and thank ful that the lights were canopied in this room.
 Allison drew the memorandum pad toward him. and rose.
 By the way. there's one thing for got to tell you, Babbitt, and it's rather important" He hesitated and glanced toward the door. You'll excuse me just half minute, won't you, Gail?"
 She had noticed that assumption of intimate understanding in him before, and she had secretly admired it. Now it was a comfort and joy.
 Surely" she granted and passed on in to the library alcove, sheltered nook where she was glad to be alone, to rescue herself from the whirl of anger, and indignation, and humilia- tion-above all, humiliation-whi had swept around her. Her face was hot and cold by turns, and she was al- most on the point of crying, in spite of her constantly reiterated self-ad- monishment that she must control her self here. when Allison came to the door of the alcove.
 "All right, Gail." he said laconically.
 She felt suddenly weary, but she rose and joined him. When she slipped her hand in his arm, strong, and warm, and pulsing, she was aware of thrill from it, but the thrill was just restfulness.
 You look little tired" judged the practical Allison, as they strolled. side by side, into the hall, and he patted the slender hand which lay on his arm
 Not very" she lightly replied, and unconsciously she snuggled her hand more comfortably into its resting place. A little sigh escaped her lips. deep-drawn and futtering. It was a sigh of content.

The New Rural Teacher.

"The first requisite of better coun-
try life is a better country school"
states the Roosevelt country life com
mission. To have better country schools
we must have new type of country
teacher, one imbued with the love of
the country, one who remains in the
country because she loves 1t, and tries
to impart an appreciation of the beauty
of the country to the children. Dean
Bailey prophesies "a new race of coun-
try teachers" and here and there we al
ready see fine examples of teachers who
have caught the vision, teachers who
realize the wonderful possibilities in the
country school for transforming the boys
and girls of to-day into noble and eff
