GREATEST POWER IN NATURE
thing That 10 Almost Beyond
Common Belief.

The average inland American who
has never seen the ocean has no idea
of the force of its waves. He reads
about the storm. of boats being car
ried away and bulwarks stove. But
he does not realize the steam ham,
mer blows that may be struck by mere
water.
A recent storm on the British coast
received the official designation of a
storm of extreme force" A picture
taken in Hastings harbor shows the
conclusions with which the waves
struck the sea wall, sending spray,
apparently higher than the buildings
along the street. Blocks of concrete
and iron railing were torn from the
new parade extension at Caroline
place and tossed back into the road
way as if they had been bits of plank
Timber work that had withstood the
stress of years was torn apart and
carried away. Easements were food
ed along all the seward face Of the
town.
Such a storm when it sweeps over
a ship will sometimes carry away
everything on deck. Deck houses are
often smashed and the life boats are
often stove in and ruined
Various attempts have been made to
devise motors to develop power from
the force of the waves. The amount
of energy wasted through their lack of
success is beyond estimate. II the
power Of the sea could be used It
would drive machinery for an unlim.
tied number Of plants.

one angrily behind him. and he sat
down.
He would 60 to her after the act
was over. He wanted her as he had
never wanted her before. For her
sake he would lay aside the last
vestige of his pride. for her sake he
would confess his folly; and for his
own sake he would beg for the glory
of her love.
He could not see her face through
the misty curtain that foated before
his own. He put his hand to his eyes
and was surprised to find 1t wet He
looked again. He could not see her
now.
The curtain fell; the lights went up.
But Lillian was not there.
Was she q dream only, born Of his
Imagination and his desires? No,
there was the empty seat, and there,
even, was . little glove. dropped from
her lap. He could not but know Lil-
lian's glove. He picked 1t up and
pressed it to his lips reverently; then
suddenly he found that people we're
staring at him. He glanced round
him wildly-and all at once became
aware that all eyes were turned upon
the stage and that a storm Of applause
had broken loose all over the theater.
He looked up. Lillian was standing
before the curtain, and her bow was
to the crowd; but her eyes were on
his.
Then suddenly Langdon understood.
She was the author; she had sue
ceeded where he had failed, and she
had put all the sorrow and suffering
of both of them into the story. And
even - he watched her she was gone.
and he stood still in the aisle among
the moving crowds.
The second seat was empty. Lang
don slipped into 1t. and presently he
saw her coming down the aisle toward
him. Her head was very high, her
cheeks ahame with happiness. And
she sat down at his side.
Lillian" he whispered, hardly dar-
ing to look into her eyes. 1T was

Yes, he heard her answer family
Lillian, l have sought you all this

Gracious Manners.

The charm of gracious manners and
consideration for other human beings
is quality that develops rapidly il
given half chance. The woman who
is always kind creates an atmosphere
of loveliness that is like a halo about
her head. IL you are naturally shy
and reticent, it is all the more neces-
sary that you should endeavor to shine
bit. II is not lack of pleasant
thoughts that worries the self-con-
scious. but the fear of giving express
sion to them. You must try to make
yourself companionable to others.
