Joke on Mother.

Returning home one afternoon, little
Richards mother found him apparent
ly in great pain. Careful questioning
failed TO disclose the cause Of the
lads suffering. Previous experience
told the mother that Richard probably
was in need Of that oil so unpopular
with children, and she proceeded to
administer a generous portion despite
the crying resistance Of Richard. A
few minutes later the boy appeared,
apparently in great glee.
"Tve got joke on mOther-Tve got
a joke on mother" he cried.
Members Of the family were curious,
Of course.
Mother thought was sick and

he exclaimed between laughs.

VALUE OF PETROLEUM SHOWN
War Develops Multitude Of Uses for
What Were Formerly Regarded as
Merely Its By-Products.

"It has required this war to awaken
England to the Importance Of the pc
troleum industry to any and every CIV
ilized country" declared Prof. Charles
Greenway, president of the Institution
Of Petroleum TechnOloglsts in Lon
don.
"The Importance of the petroleum.
industry to the civilized world develops
with the course of years, but in this
country it is so far only in its infancy.
1t Is only now, as lesson of this terri
BILE war, that we are awakening to the
fact that petroleum, and the securing
of our own sources Of supply of this
valuable commodity, are national ne
cessity, not only. for the great ecOnom-
ic struggle which will certainly take
place between the chief commercial
nations after the conclusion of this
war, but as safeguard against this
country ever again being drawn into
such barbarOuS and destructive con-
flct as that in which we are now en-
gagged.
Until within the last few years pc
tr0Ieum was only regarded as being Of
value for the production Of artificial
light, lubricatlng oils and wax, but
later developments have shown that
its greater value lies in what were for
merly regarded as merely it's by-prOd-
ucts--benZine and fuel for motive pow
er, solvents for host of chemical and
allied processes, dyestuffs in various
manufactures. unguentS in pharmacy,

CHAPTER VI.

The great French dramatist, dark,
pale-faced and cOrpulent, stood upon
the extreme edge of the stage, bran
dishlng his manuscript in his hand. He
banged the palm of his left hand with
the rolled-up manuscript and looked at
them all furiously.
"The only success l care for" he
thundered, 'Is an artistic successw

leading part, NJ. GraillOt," the actor

ture to anticipate even that"
The dramatist bowed hurriedly to
Louise.
"You recall to me a fact" he said
gallantly, (which almost recOnciles me
to this diabOlical traveSty of some of
my lines. Proceed then-prOceed I
will be as patient as possible"
The stage manager shouted out some
directions from his box. A gentleman
in faultless morning clothes, who
seemed to have been thoroughly enjoy
ing the interlude, suddenly adopted the
puppetlike walk of fOotman. Other
actors, who had been whispering to-
gether in the wings, came back to their
places Louise advanced alone, little
languidly, to the front of the stage. At
the first sound of her voice NJ. Grail
lot, nodding his head vigorously, was
SOOthed.
Her speech was long one. II
appeared that she had been arraigned
before company of her relatives, as
sembled to comment upon her mis-
deeds. She wound up with passion
ate appeal to her husband, Mr.. Miles
Faraday, who had made an unexpected
appearance. NJ. GraillOt's face, as she
concluded, was wreathed in smiles.
"Ah!" he cried. "YOu have lifted us
all up! Now feel once more the in
spiration. Mademoiselle, kiss your
hand" he went on. ut is you who still
redeem my play. You bring back the
spirit Of it to me. In you see the EN-
bodiment of my Therese."
Louise made no movement. Her
eyes were fixed upon certain
Shad0wy corner of the wings. Over
wrought as she had seemed with the
emotional excitement of her long
speech, there was now new and curl
Gus expression upon her face. She was
looking at tall, hesitating figure that
stood just off the stage. She forgot the
existence of the famous dramatiSt who
hung upon her words. Her feet no
longer trod the dusty boards of the
theater. She was almost painfully
conscious of the perfume of apple bios
SOM
"YOu!" she exclaimed, stretching out
her hands. "Why do you not come and
speak to me? I am here!"
John came out upon the stage. The
French dramatist, with his hands be-
hind his back, made swift mental notes
of an interesting situation. He saw
the coming of n man who stood like a
giant among them, sunburnt. buOyant
with health, his eyes bright with the
wonder of his unexpected surround
ings; man in whose presence every
one else seemed to represent an effete
and pallid type of humanity.
Those first few sentences, spoken In
the midst of curious little crowd of
strangers, seemed to John, when he
thought of his long waiting, almost pit
eOusly inadequate. Louise, recOgniz-
ing the difficulty of the situation, swift
ly recovered her cOmposure. She was
both tactful and gracious.
