The scene was a private room in a
fashionable cafe, the speakers, a physi-
clan and Enos Dacre, a theatrical
manager. Before them at a table, ly-
ing back with closed eyes in his chair,
was a handsome young man. 1t was
plainly to be seen that he was over

At the opposite side Of the table
sat a threadbare, half-trampish-look-
ing old man. He was eating ravenous-
Il as though ending a long fast. The
others paid little attention to him.

critical juncture in the affairs Of my
unfortunate friend. He has made a
great success in New York in the title
role of julius Caesar. He is billed
here TO appear within an hour before
a select eXpectant audience. He is to
be married within a week to a most
estimable young lady. To diSappOint
his audience here, to have the truth
come out, means his ruin"

all my science would not enable me to
place your friend in a presentable
plight under three or four hours
He took the fee offered and depart

the floor in a transport of anxiety.
Finally he turned TO the man who had
ceased eating, and now sat back with
the complacency of a person well fed,
and approaching the fact.
''How did you come to be with Mr..
Fortescue?" he asked, in a half resent
full way.

New Shoes Protect Linemen.

A number of linemen have lost their
lives because the shoes they wore were
not properly protected from transmit
ting electric current. A special line
mans shoe has been patented recent
ly which will completely overcome this
risk. It's sole is composed of two sep
arate layers of rubber which lessen the
possibility of blowholes through which
current enough to produce shock might
be carried. Tests prove that this new
shoe will prevent the passage of 4 cur

Pulp for Paper.

1t is reported that the department
Of agriculture is experimenting with
wire grass as a source Of supply for
pulp for making paper, in place Of pop
lar or liriodendrOn. This variety of
grass grows on the Pacific coast and in
western Mexico, and possesses the
very desirable property of toughness
and can be reduced by the soda proc
ess. 1t is stated that paper manufac-
tured from the stock. has proved as
satisfactory in physical tests as first
grade machine-finished printing paper.
In appearance and in feeling the paper
produced is satisfactory. However, the
experiments have indicated that more
bleaching powder is required in the
bleaching process than in the case Of
poplar stock.

OF his retrogression came to her, how

His hands were trembling, his frame

abashed at the accusing pallor and
Indebtedness portrayed in his face.
A bell boy, as was customary, placed
pitcher of ice water and a morning
newspaper inside the room. Wayne
