"No, no, you mustn't do that" she
said, opening her eyes. "You have the
money, and it wouldn't do you any good.

A faint smile came upon her lips again
| ooh, you man." she replied. "You
couldn't understand. He was all | had

In the face of the declaration Eadbrook
was dumb. He suddenly felt the power
of an invisible presence around them, and
he stared hopelessly at the wan face on
the couch. She had loved that despica-
BILE brute!
| While he was bordering the unbelieva-
BILE thing, the girl whispered to him: "Td

Somehow, he was glad of the interrupt
ton. He rose with alacrity, saying, "In

FOR brief space, when Eadbrook and
Louise entered the room together, the
two young women regarded each other
curiously. Each, with that strange femi-
ninereadiness, OWNED the others thoughts;
and in that second of understanding each
dropped the mask of conventionality and
greeted the other as if they had known
each other for years. There was no COM
petition between them; they felt no pos
sibly rivalry One of them lay, helplessly
outcast looking upon her who stood upon
the threshold of happiness, with the bright
comparable world ahead. And the warm
heart of Louise overdowed; she under
stood.
1t was with brighter smile that the
girl on the couch reached out her hand
and said:

and you can't be here long. l wanted to
see you-so much Miss Searles-and it
was SO fine of you to come. Audit was
silly of me, but wanted to see you-to-

She closed her eyes again, perhaps
from neutrality-suspicious. looking back
into memory. Yes, rather the latter; for
when she broke the silence she said
dreamily:

bed where he had thrown them. They
hadn't lasted long enough even for him
to get his coat ON. Clint suffered hor-
ribly-but not dumbly.
Downstairs in the kitchen of the Com
mercial Hotel, Mrs. Clint Weatherbee,
clad in her very finest raiment, was
cautiously tripping around, giving one
last survey to the food. Mrs. Clint was
flustered, but radiant. She who had so
long served unseen, behind the partition
whence came those delicious feasts, was
this time to be served. Starr had insisted
on it. She was to occupy a seat of honor
at the festive board. IF
TT was nearly eight o'clock A few travel

in spite of the fact that the tables were
being moved almost from under their
noses. The spacious dining-room was
a-gltter Wild flowers breathed their
perfumes from every corner and the
walls were festooncd with evergreens.
Starr had said:
"You can depend upon it, won't sneak
out of town with my tail between my
legs. I'm going out with music and
dancing something to eat"
Already the tardy travelling statesmen
heard the tuning up of the viOlins and
before they rose reluctantly from their
places two brawny citizens had flung open
the double doors that led to the down.

Starr had told Clint Weatherbee. "Theyll
be hungry when they get here, and the
quicker they fill up the better humored

At eight o'clock promptly the diners
sat down. Immediately the orchestra
struck up stirring air. Each pair of
eyes swept up and down the long side
tables, and noted with satisfaction that
among those present were
They were all there: all the boosters
and all the anti-boosters. They were all
mingling on what the Boxton Banner, that
week, reported as "terms of the utmost
cordiality." And at the very head of tho
central table was MIR, Ezra Nudge. Be-
side him, looking ten years younger than
anybody could remember seeing her look,
was Aunt Lyddy Nudge.
Ezra looked out over the gathering now
and then, and smiled knowingly Henry
Treadway cast shy glance in the direc-
ton of Joel Tibb and was rewarded with
friendly nod. J. Bradlee Starr his
cheeks painted with honest emotion,
rubbed his hands gratefully and cried
greeting to every one.
"Never before" said the Banner in
that masterful leading paragraph which
did SO much credit to the editorial ability
of Henry Treadway, "never before has
good-fellowship reigned absolutely SUI
preme within our midst; never before"
And very likely it was all true.
THERE came the supreme moment
when Ezra Nudge arose. Everybody
felt it an imperative duty to say, "Hush"
to everybody else. The orchestra wheezed
into silence at u word.

Eadbrook took the hand that was ex-

quite as much as anybody else by raising

precipitate embarrassment.

Thino, Lightning Does Not Damage.

Things Lightning Does Not Damage.
Lightning, that mysterious force
generated in the power-house OF
nature, which often sets fire to hay
stacks, frame houses and barns, has
never been known to seriously dam
age:
Railroad trains or locomotives.
Buildings with metallic grounded
sides and roofs.
Buildings which have frameworks
composed wholly of metal.
Grounded steel windmill towers.
Steel battleships and cruisers.
Business blocks and apartment
houses in cities.
The explanation of this pheno-
ment is simple, for most of these OBJ
jects conduct electricity so well that
electricity induced on the earth is
drawn up through them and dispersed
into the atmosphere, thus dissipating
the charge of electricity before it be-
comes strong enough to produce a
flash. II a lightning stroke to one
of these objects does occur, the mass
of metal entering into its compost
ton will usually conduct the current
safely to The ground.
