world, in which she was born and

He rose listlessly to his feet. There
was a strange, dull look in his face.

two friends who fingered, Louise had

NEW CLEANER RUN BY WATER
Recently Invented Device Can Be Oper.
ated at Any Point in House Where
There Is Hydrant.

A vacuum cleaner has been invent
ed which can be operated wherever
there is hydrant in the house.
A pipe of the right diameter is
screwed into the hydrant's mouth and
runs down to the bottom of the sink.
A spiral nozzle fits the pipe just below
the mouth of the hydrGnt. An angular
pipe opens into the vertical pipe i'm
mediately below the nozzle and slopes
up to connect with a rubber hose on
the guiding rod.
To clean the room you turn on the
water and guide the rod over the car
pet. After traversing the spiral noz-
zle the water whirls around and passes
the opening of an angular pipe, fore
ing out all the air near it. The
vacuum 50 created starts the air flow
ing in the rubber hose.

LLAMAS MUST BE HUNDRED
viii Not Endure Force or Threats
When Being Loaded They Are
Caressed by Drivers.

The South American llama will bear
neither beating nor ill-treatment. Tie
animals go in troops, an Indian walk
ing a long distance ahead. If the
llamas are tired they stop, and the
Indian stops also. If the delay be
| too great the Indian, becoming un-
easy toward sunset, after all due pre-
caution, resolves on supplicating the
beasts to resume their journey. He
stands about so or 60 PAGES off, in an
attitude of humility, waving his hand
cOaXingly toward them, looks at them
with tenderness, and at the same
time, in the softest tones, reiterates,
&c, iC, ic." If the llamas are disposed
to resume their course they follow the
Indian in good order and at a regular
pace, but step fast, for their legs are
long; but, when they are in i'll humor,
they do not even turn toward the
speaker, but remain motionless, hud-
died together, standing or lying down.
The straight neck and the gentle ma
jesty Of bearing, the long down of their
always clean and glossy skin, their
supple and timid motion, all give them
an air at once sensitive and noble.

CHAPTER Xxx.

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone and John,
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
Of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
Of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was in no humor to go home. Chang
ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to q
small Bohemian club which he had
joined at Graillot's instigation. He
had vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him, however, in the smok-
ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered whisky-and-soda. Two
men CIOSo dI Hal@u were writing at
desks; others were lounging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog-
nized authority, was treating the COM
pany to fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses, winding up by con-
trasting Louise Maurel's style with
that Of her chief French rival. John
found himself listening with pleased
Interest. The mans opinion was GER
tainly not unfavorable to Louise.

Soaring Them Away.

Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman of a
Liberty Loan committee, said in New
York:
"The loan machinery was made easy,
simple and informal, so that all could
come in. We didn't want to scare the
plain people away, you know.
Some Of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the
swagger seashore hotel.
"This hotel was so very swaggcr
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
There was a little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for
some ice water. No answer. He rang
again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held it
there till he heard footsteps.

 Arrangements were made quickly for holding at once the mass meeting that had been scheduled for tonight, so the delegates congregated about the capitol when the President ar rived.

 WASHINGTON. April 2.- Pacifists who came to Washington by the thou sands today under the guidance of the Emergency Peace Federation to pro test to congress against war had tur- bulent time. The capital. bedecked with the national colors and overflow ing with patriotic enthusiasm, gave the peace advocates anything but a cordial reception.
 On the streets. the white arm bands and we want peace" streamers of the visitors drew frequent jeers. At the capitol patriotic pilgrims" from va rious cities went over the same course as the pacifists. urging members of congress to uphold the hands of the President and the honor of the nation.
