Miss Nan Keller concealed a very
warm heart beneath her prim exterior
Some of US are born shy, and Miss
Nan was afflicted that way. In all her
four years at the hospital she had
never succeeded in ~endearing herself
to anybody, And, like most shy peo-
pie, she craved sympathy, which she
seemed destined never to get.
She got it-sometimes-from the
house surgeon. Charlie Abbott had
been two years in the General hospital
and he was to leave in June, to take
over his fathers practice. He had
adored Miss Nan from the moment he
first saw her-sometimes. Sometimes
she seemed to him like an animated
automaton. When his sympathetic
approaches were coldly repealed he
mated Miss Nan. What right had a
girl to have a face like that, and won
derful red-brown hair, if she had a
heart like an icicle?
Miss Nan, although her woman's in.

liked her, trusted rather to her brain.
which asked her how she could be
sure. Wasn't it her impulsive heart
asked the brain, that read into Charles
AbbOtt's actions sentiments which
were not there? Then Miss Nan would
freeze up hard and Charlie Abbott
would call himself a double-dyed fool

when they found themselves off duty

After that she hardly said a word to

1t is strange, but-well, 1t happened

MAKING GASOLINE FROM GAS
Pennsylvania Company Has Erected
Plant for the Purpose-shlp-
ments Are Quite Large.

Out in Pennsylvania a company has
erected a plant for the extraction Of
the gasoline from natural gas and has
contracted for the gas from about 400
wells. The wells are small, the total
production being less than a million
cubic feet a day, but they have been
producing for a long time and as the
gas comes from a sand 100 feet in
thickness their life is said to be good
for an indefinite time, The gasoline
company puts the gas through its COM
pressors and then sells 1t to a large
glass factory near by, the taking out
Of the gasoline not injuring the gas
in any way for fuel. The gas is put
under 300 pounds pressure to the
square inch, which forces out the gaso-
line, which is carried into tanks and
blended with naphtha, rendering the
gasoline safe to ship, at without this
blending it would be as dangerous as
nitroglycerin owing to its high gray
ity. The shipments Of gasoline from
the plant are running about 10000
gallons a month and ten tank cars are
required to care for the production
The same company also has put in q
h~igh.pressure compressor at the plant
which will be used in COMPRISING the
natural gas into steel TASKS under 500
pounds pressure. It is planned to sell
this compressed gas in the same man
ner as Blau gas or Pintsch gas is nov
sold.-Wan Street Journal.

"Yesf said Nan irTitably,
"But-but this isn't Mrs. Nelson's
baby" protested the probatiOner.
Mrs. Nelson's baby has red hair.
Mrs Nelson is a white woman. Miss
Keller"
Nurse Nan cast a Mortified glance at
the baby in the arms of the probation
er. 1t was-well, not a black baby, be-
c use babies are not born as dark as
they become, but it was Enthusiastically
a mulatto baby.
She had got the babies mixed.
She looked h~opelessly about the
ward. She did not in the least re
member whose baby was which, nor
where she had placed them. She
stared with horror into the probation
er's face. Miss Matthews was watch
ing her in a puzzled sort of way.
Nurse Nan tried to remember what
she had done, but she could only see,
in her minds eye, the features Of
Charlie Abbott, and they seemed to
wear a sarcastic smile. She, who had
snubbed him, she, the competent and
s%elf-contained one, had mixed the ba-
bies.
She thought Of the mothers, doomed
to go through life with the wrong
babies. She thought Of pauper babies
growing up to be millionaires, and
heirs to vast estates doomed to life in
the slums. She pictured the colored
baby growing up among puzzled white
folk, and a white baby fondled in a
negro cabin by a proud foster father.
Nurse Nan dashed from the room.
She did not know where she was
going, but it was to be somewhere
miles away from the hospital, which
she would never see again, and she
meant to get there in a very short
time.

PRISONER GIVES
ONE BLACK EYE To
A POLICE OFFICIAL
CAPT. WILDE, WHO WAS ASSIST

WAS STRUCK IN THE EYE BY
THE FIGHTING PRISONER.

A. Corner, who said he was blue
jacket, and from one of the ships at
the naval station, was fined $50 in
the recorders court yesterday morn
ing upon the proof being established
beyond doubt that he was disorderly,
and that he had resisted arrest. Con-
ner himself had very little to say,
pleading no recollection of what hap
pened.
The sailor was arrested at late
hour Thursday night, and was sent to
the station for disorderly conduct.
Captain of Police Frank Wilde was
assisting in placing him in cell when
Corner suddenly reached out and at
tempted to make his escape, or to re-
sist being locked up right at that
time. His effort was thwarted, and
about that time he suddenly brought
his fist in an uppercut and caught
Captain Wilde full and squarely on
the eye. Capt. Wilde had to secure
treatment for the injured optic be
fore morning, and yesterday it panied
him so that his sleep was cut short.
