Minerals in New Mexico.

In the days when New Mexico was
hinterland an Indian showed some
specimens of rock he had found on
Badly Peak to white men, who recog-
nized them as copper ore, and who
guided by the Indian, found the ledge
and located prospect. The men do
ing development work on this copper
prospect in 1865 found placer gold and
traced it to its parent ledge. The
placers yielded S2,250,00O and the gold
mine about 81, $4,000, bu: the rich ore
was exhausted in few years, and for
over forty years desultory prospecting
for other ore bodies was carried on
without notable results. In recent
years prospecting based on the
geologic relations of the old ore body
resulted in the discovery of q new
body OF rich ore, which has yielded
nearly $250,000 in ten months and Is
still producing.

Colonel Destinn-you are insult

II am not insulting. And If were
you would have to listen to me. The
power have over you is yours over
me. We belong together, Madame Ar
maud, by virtue of our vice. We are
both corrupt, worthless-you in your
way, I In mine. Hear me out, please!
I am a brutal man, and am tearing
down the veil with brutal hands. But
no matter-you will have 1t mended
by tomorrow. For an hour I choose
that you should see clearly. You have
bounded two men to their ruin-in all
innocence. You set yourself on false
pedestal which they could not reach
you set them task which they could
not accomplish without using your own
methods. They had not your powers
of assuming virtue nor my powers of
valuing your peculiar worth. The one
man virtually committed suicide at the
altar Of your perfection, the other
murder"
He stopped entirely. 1t was as
though his own thoughts had engulfed

drew her hands away, and he made no

CHAPTER XII.
The Choice.

Sylvia Arnaud sat at her small writ
ing table beneath the lamp, and before
putting her signature to the completed
letter before her reread Mrs. Farqu-
har's concluding sentences. You will
be pleased to hear that Richard has
settled down at last" Mrs. Farquhar
had written in her sprawling, reckless
hand. "He has taken a ranch in Aus
tralia and is doing very well. 1 have
even hopes. that some day soon 1 shall
have news from him of the sort dear to
every woman's heart-though heaven
knows why. He asked me in his last
letter to be remembered to you"
Sylvia Arnaud sighed and picked up
her pen.
81 am glad to hear such good things
of Richard" she wrote, and then added
"Sylyia Arnaud" in prim neat letters.
When the envelope had been addressed
and closed she sat back with a little
exclama ton of relief.
How l hate letters" she said irrita-
bly,. They are the worst form of so
cial hypocrisy without even a cup Of
tea or nice frocks to make them bear
able. You never write letters, do you,

mo one"
The light from the tall rose colored
lamp behind her fell softly on her
bent head and drew warm golden col
ors from the thick coils of hair as
usually neatly plated into obedience.
Her hands, busy with the delicate
task, were also in the light, and their
extraordinary whiteness and beauty
caught Sylvia's wandering attention
what wonderful hands you have-'
she said, with a delightful spontaneous
enthusiasm. "One would think you
spent half your days looking after
them-which, of course, you can't dc" ="
."They are heavens customary COM
pensation to ugly women" Miss Smith
answered. smiling.
Sylvia turned away impatiently, and
the old pucker of nervous restlesSness
crept back between her brows For a
few minutes neither woman spoke.
Then suddenly Sylvia broke the silence
with a rush, as though deep re-
luctance had been swept aside by a
deeper need of speech.
do you believe the dead see us,
Miss Smith? ?" she asked.
Miss Smith looked up then, her eyes
full of shadowy thought.
II don't know" she answered, half
to herself. But there is one thing of
which we can be sure-our instinct
our conscience. If we feel that the
dead see us. then we know that we

three wide bands of voile set together
with bands of transparent organdie
with dainty embroidered edge. The
embroidered edge overlaps the voile,
and the plain edge is finished with
narrow val lace. A band of the em'
broidered organdie finishes the bottom
of the skirt
The baby waist is cut with short
kimona sleeves. These are heightened
by puffs of organdie extending to the
wrist. This is gathered into a cuff Of
the embroidered organdie finished with
val lace. The bodice is made over a
net foundation and finished with a
deep collar of the embroidered organ
die. The girdle is of lavender velvet
ribbon. The underskirt is of plain
white voile.
The dainty frock pictured Is made
Of white voile striped with pale bands

Photooraphy in Air Raids.

Photography. of course, is playing
an ever-increasing part in the aerial
reconnaissance. It is now one of the
prime means of ascertaining the accu-
racy with which bomb dropping is at
tended. Contrary to the general idea,
when place is to be bombarded the
process does not consist merely of a
few plucky airmen plotting their ma
chimes to the neighborhood and TAX
ing big risks to try to get in lucky
shot before returning. The fire that
follows the dropping of each bomb is
photographed by aircraft from above,
so that permanent record is made
concerning the places actually dam
aged. Nothing is left to guesswork.-

need OF SYMPATHY
MATTER THAT MAKES FOR HAP.
PiNESS IN THE HOME.
Wife Who Is Able to Make Her Hus-
band Talk on Favorite Topic Can
Always Be Sure of Holding
His Interest.

One of the greatest causes of un-
happiness in married life is the lack
Of interest in each others doings after
the irreyocable step has been taken
and the newness Of being always to-
gether has worn off, remarks the De-
troit News-Tribune
Then it is that unless the wife
makes the efforts to please that she
did in the courting days the husband
will go elsewhere for amusement. Yet
he is only following the natural in
stinct of humanity in seeking for SYM
pathetic companionship the fault Is
partly hers.
A man to be won and kept must first
be attracted and then made to feel
that he has sympathy which draws
him out and makes him talk about
what interests him most. 1t is not
enough to make him listen while he Is
being talked to. For a time that will
hold him, but he will tire of always
being a listener, Of always giving his
sympathy and receiving none.
To hold a man, a woman must un-
derstand and study him, she must not
be exacting, for to expect too much
only makes him feel that he wants to
give less.
A man usually goes out into the
world young: he leads separate ex-
istence at an age when his sister is
still surrounded by her home circle.
When his work is done he has only to
think, "What shall do today that will
give me the most pleasure?"
Can anyone wonder that many years
of indulgence in this, coupled with
larger command of money than their
sisters, should make men more selfish
should end by fixing the habit of
thinking Of their own pleasure so firm
ly in their minds that it is practically
ineradicable?
1t may be overpowered for time
by a strong affection and all the cOun-
ter influences of courtship and early
matrimony; but later, when these
have ceased to be novelties and a
man settles down to married life, the
old habit reasserts itself.
A woman, on the contrary, is trained
in different school. When her broth
er Is out in the world earning his liv-
ing, or, at any rate, living a separate
existence, she is usually at home with
other members Of the household when
she has always to consider when any
plans or engagements. however trivial,
have to be made.
Having thus to defer to the wishes
Of her relations, she is duly trained
in habits of yielding to others and Of
unselfishly giving up her will and
pleasure to them. SO he in his bache-
lor days is duly trained to selfishness !;
she in her spinsterhood is equally
brought up to unselfishness.

Force of Rain in the Desert.

The following description OF rain on
the desert is given Dy writer in Farm
and Fireside: "In desert lands when
It does rain" he says, lit may come
with much more force than anywhere
else. In less than no time the whole
mountain side was sheet of water run
ming swiftly down. Soon great tor
rent began to pour under the rock
where we were taking shelter, under
mining it and threatening to throw it
down. We emerged from there and
made a hurried run to another hiding
place. more secure. Then came hail,
and hailstones fell in such fury and OF
such incredible size that l thought they
would kill old Barney, who stood eX-
posed to their fearful peltings. In
little while the storm had passed away
and the water soon ceased to come
down the steep mountainside, and we
went on our way, leading our horse"

above all, the most elegant. Very
narrow Cluney lace edgings are liked
on them. Three of the most pleasing
designs in sets are shown in the pic
ture. These accessories look best
with plain frocks and coats and are
out of harmony with fussy clothes.
They catch the eye first and should
be worth while to look at.
Besides sets made of sheer mate
rials, others of pique and linen, to be
worn with tailored suits of any sort,
are having something of q vogue. Oc-
casionally they are to be seen stiff

Collars are smaller in these heavier
fabrics, and trimming-even rows Of
machine stitching-is conspicuous by
its absence.

a hand at it, the latter appearing in
the role of chief tinkerer to the in
artistic, and erecting the low screen
at the back which completes the in
closure of the court and adds to the
incongruity of the whole place.
The death of it's planner did not
mark the passing of high life from
Chambord. When the court of Francis
II was driven from Amboise by the ter
rible massacre, they repaired to Cham
bord, where it was sought by the wild
est of revelry to cheer up the young
king. Marie Stuart shone with par
ticular brilliance at these orgies, but
her reign in this capacity was as brief
as it was sensational. Others who fol-
lowed in her footsteps won disfavor
with Catherine, who didn't propose let
ting any outsider weaken the hold she
exercised over her sons. Charles TX.
maddened by the meddlings Of his
mother, went to Chambord in 1867.
Gradually. however, courts came less
frequently to Chambord. At various
times it was in the possession Of Louis
XIII, Louis XIV and CASTOR, Due d
Orleans, who puttered around attempt
ing to improve the place, only to make
it worse. 1t was the asylum Of the
deposed king of Poland, Stanislaus
Leckzinska, who also sought to better
it, but did not stay long enough.
Given to Marshal SAKE.
AS a partial reward for his famous
victory at Fontenoy, Marshal SAKE was
presented with Chambord, and for
some years the brilliant old soldier
kept open house there.
The revolution dismantled and dis
figured the chateau, and when France
once more settled down to peaceful
ways Chambord was little more than a
shell. Marshal Berthier had it wished
on him by Napoleon, but the pension
accompanying the bestowal was dis
continued by Louis XVIII, and 1t was
sold, a national subscription bestowing
it upon the infant son of the Due de
Berri, the Due de Bordeaux, who there
upon took the title of Comte de Cham
bord.
AS an architectural marvel Cham
bord has always commanded consid-
Grafton. The fact that it is more or less
of a monstrosity is not entirely the
fault Of the earlier architects. Much
of the trouble can be attributed to the
reconstructionists who came later, and
whose efforts only resulted in making

This SeaSon's Skirts,

There is one embarrassment to be
looked for In buying ready-made
dresses this season; the skirt is likely
to be very short, and often there is
not enough depth of hem to lengthen
1t sufficiently for a tall woman, if she
is conservative in her tastes. If the
material can be matched a plain skirt
may be heightened by adding broad
hem that is stitched up on the right
side, either with or without a piping
at the top. Many skirts are trimmed
