MOUNT VERNON, THE HOME OF WASH
INGTON

From the Washington Herald, April IT.
BY j. E.. Jones, with thirty-three illustra-
tions. U. S. Press Association, Washington,
D. c.. $1.00 net.
The beauties of Mount Vernon, and a
short account of its interesting history are
written about in an exceptionally delightful
way in the above-named book of fifty pages.
The author shows himself to be thoroughly
acquainted with the subject, and in an easy
manner takes one from Washington to
Mount Vernon, there to depict in detail the
well-marked points of the greatest object of
interest. Although the book is written from
a literary standpoint, as is evidenced by a
concise and graceful style, it would well act
as a guide for the pilgrim visiting Mount
Vernon for the first time, and especially SO
for the visitor who has a deep regard for
the traditions which clothe the nations
greatest shrine.
Each visitor will be the better and wiser
for the reading of this volume, and in laying
it aside will surely be impressed with great
feelings of reverence for the founder of this
republic. The volume is not only valuable
49, aShS oho oo
thoroughly good guide. but also as an ex-
ample of fine book-making. The execution
is perfect; the printers art never better
shown, and the Illustrations are such as to
command the admiration of all. 1t con-
tains exceptionally well executed half tones
of the Mount Vernon Home. the Potomac,
the grounds, as also of George and Martha
Washington. In the description of the parts
OF the house, the uut-buildings, and the var
ious utensils, the manner of living at Mount
Vernon 100 years ago is plainly painted. and
the difficulties clearly set forth by COMPARE
son with the unbounded resources of our
own time.
The story Of Washington never can be
told too often. His spirit should ever per-
meate the people Of the land. The great
york he did. stands as an example for all
time. and his devotion to his country, his
self-sacrifcing. his long enduring toll, and
above all his exalted patriotism, will ever
make him the exemplar Of the nation. He
. truthfully portrayed by the author Of
this little book. 1t IL q book all should
read.

c~learness. They saw Craig's features
with almost lifelike detail. From the
corner of that room where the profess
sor was standing, came a smothered
groan. 1t was a terrifying, a paraly-
zing moment. Even the silence seemed
charged with awful things. Then sud
denly, without am warming, the pic
ture faded completely away. A cry,
which was almost a howl of anger,
broke from Quests lips. Craig had
fallen sideways from his chair. There
was an ominous change in his face.
Something seemed to have passed
from the atmosphere of the room,
some tense and nameless quality.
Quest moved forward and laid his
hand on Craigs heart. The girl was
on her knees, screaming.
Take her away" Quest whispered
to Lenora.
"What about himf" French demand.
Cd. a. Lenora LED the girl from the
room.
HE fought too hard" Quest said,
gravely. He II dead. Professor
They al looked around. The spot
whers he had been standing Wa
empty. The professor had gone.

Say, what have you got there?"
French echoed.
Quest examined the Strengthening
lump Of metal steadily. The most gu.
rious thing about 1t seemed to be that
1t was absolutely sound and showed
no signs of damage. He turned to the
professor.
81 think you are the only one who
will be able to appreciate this, profess
sor," he remarked. Look" 1t Is a
fragment of opotan-a distinct and
wonderful specimen OF opotan."
Everyone looked puzzled.
but what" Lenora inquired, "is
opotan?"
1T is a new metal" Quest explained,
gravely, towards which scientists
have been directing a great deal of at
tention lately. 1t has the power of col
lecting all the electricity from the
air around US. There are a dozen
people, at the present moment, con-
Quoting experiments with it for the
purpose Of cheapening electric lights.

onds sooner
He paused significantly. Then he
swung round on his heel. Craig, a
now pitiful object, his hands nervous
ly twitching, his face CHASTITY, vas
covering in the background.
Your last little effort, Craig?" he
demanded, sternly.
Craig made no reply. The profess
sor, who had disappeared for a mo-
ment, came back TO them.
There is a smaller room across the
hail." he said, which will do for our
purpose"
Craig suddenly turned and faced
them.
Il have changed my mind" he said.
II have nothing to tell you. Do what
you will with me. Take me to the
Tombs, deal with me any way you
choose, but I have nothing to say"
Quest pointed a threatening finger
at him.
"Your last voluntary word, perhaps"
he said, but science is still your a
ter, Craig. Science has brought many
criminals to their doom. 1t shall take
its turn with you. Bring him along,
French, to my study. There is a way
of dealing with him."
Quest felt his forehead and found it
damp. There were dark rims under
his eyes. Before him was Craig, with
a little band around his forehead and
the mirror where they could all see it.
The professor stood a little in the
background. Laura and French were
side by side, gazing with distended
eyes at the blank mirror, and Lenora
was doing her best to soothe the ter
rified girl. Twice Quests teeth came
together and M he almost reeled.
Its the fight Of his life" he NUT
tered at last, but I've got him.
Almost as he spoke they could see
Craig's resistance begin to weaken.
The tenseness of his form relaxed,
Quests will was t~riumphing. Slow
ly in the mirror they saw a little pic
ture creeping from the outline into
definite form, a picture of the profess
sor's library. Craig himself was there
with mortar and trowel, and a black
box in his hand.
"It's coming!" Lenora moaned.
Quest stood perfectly tense. The
picture suddenly flashed into brilliant

ONCE EMBLEM OF ROYALTY
Fur Of the Ermine, Really a Wonder
Of Nature, Has Been Priced for
Many Centuries.

The fame OF the ernine as a crea-
ture ~"patronized by royalty" dates
back to the reign OF King Edward III.
Of England, who made it a punishable
offense for any person except those Of
royal birth to wear the fur Of this
handsome little animal. This tyran-
nous restriction has been long re-
scinded.
The netanorphosis Of the ermine
from dull reddish brown to purest
