Sound Wauea.

Science says that the loudness of
sounds varies inversely as the square
of the distance This IS merely another
way OF saying that if you walk three
times as far away from the source OF
the sound as you were before its loud,
ness will not be third what it was,
but ninth of what it was. for nine Is
the square of three.
On the other hand, the density OF the
medium which conveys sound is very
important. On frosty night the air
is dense. One consequence of this Is
that an automobile runs better be.
cause the engine gets larger supplies
Of oxygen. Another result is tina:
sounds are heard more loudly. How
ever, the report of gun high up in
the mountains is like the sound Of an
exploded flrecracker.

CONFESSIONS
ALICE ASKS MI
Dear Mrs. Waverly, what shall I
do?" asked my little nurse Alice
again after had finished reading the
little poem Pat had sent to her
do you love Mr.. Sullivan, Aice?"
She did not need to answer. Her
face grew red, then white, as she
instinctively clasped her hands over
her heart.
And you have forgotten Harvey?"
''NO-nO-that is the awful part
of it! If I could forget If I could
make it seem like a bad dream. Oh,
Mrs. Waverly, I would give years out
of my life if I could only blot out
that episode"
MY dear my dear, you must not
give way to Unavailing regret"
But you have never had anything
to regret"
Yes, have dear; every one has
if he lets himself do it. But l know
you have ceased to love Harvey, for
I am sure no woman regrets anything
she has given her lover until she
ceases to love"
Dear Mrs. WaveTly, confessed
Alice with a blush, 81 don't know how
to explain it to you, but while am
delirioUsly happy at the thought of
Pat and just of loving him, am also
a little disguised with myself for
bling able to love anyone else but
Harvey. Truly, Mrs. WaveTly, I
thought he was the one love of my
life. that was the one excuse to my
self for our defying the comment of
the world. That l can love another
man again-and it seems to me that
I love Pat more and in a much better
way than I did Harvey-makes me
almost feel that I am a light wom-
an
81 want to love Pat, but it makes
mo feel less worthy of him than ever

OF A WIFE
TO TELL PAT
Alice was sobbing when she fin
ished.
Come over here where I can put
my arms about you, dear" I said.
She came over and sat on my bed
and convulsively clasped my hands.
you are not different from any
one, man or woman, Alice.
ct is just as natural for woman
to want love as it is to want life.
while it may not be romantic,
believe that love is like a jewel in
a ring; if the setting becomes loose
and the gem is lost we get another
to fill it's place if we can. Some
times it is prettier and sometimes
not as pretty, but we wear it just the
same"
Alice smiled through her tears.
But dear Mrs. Waverly, what am
I going to do about telling Pat?
tried to tell him the other night, but
he would not let me, and he wrote
me the note I gave you. am quite
sure he does not dream how serious
my story is. Oh, Mrs. Waverly,
simply cannot let this great big won
derful love 60 out of my life, and
am afraid if I tell him he will hate
me.
What shall I do?"
q am afraid you will have to tell
him.
Alice gage a convulsive shudder
and I clasped her hands tighter.
you see, dear, that awful trial
you went through was more or less
public, and if you did not tell, you
would always have to face the chance
of some one recognizing you some
day and telling your secret. l con-
fess I don't know how Pat will take
