breeze past lilac gardens, sweet with
| fragrance of lily beds, and then, d.
rectly within the garden that sur
rounded the home of EStelle Osborne,
now the bereaved one, that tiny dew
drop sank deep into the heart of a
rose.
In her distress and anguish at the
loss Of a father who had reared her
amid peace, comfort and refinement,
Estelle had no consolation to alleviate
her consuming grief except the
thought that there was one who would
surley hasten to her side when he
learned of her Observation-Disclosures
Farr. To her this friend, later lover,
still later her fiance, had brought all
the cherished joys of pure love. She
had trusted him wholly. Her fathers
great anxiety had been concerning the
wOrthineSs of the flashing, brilliant
young man upon whom he was asked
to bestOw the carefully nurtured idol
Of his heart. He had not attempted
to curb the progress of the long WOO
ing.
He had tried to feel that whatever
faults the young man might possess
would be Obscured by the renovating
power of the sweet, gentle influence
of Estelle. The beautiful young girl
aroused from her lethargy of grief
when Marvin Farr, few days after
her great bereavement came TO the
desolate house. He was subdued, she
noted, but that was natural. He ex-
pressed his sorrow in tender terms. If
Estelle noticed that he was abstract
ed, that he did not refer to their fu-
ture, she traced it indulgently to con-
sideratiOn for her troubles. He left
her without the customary parting
kiss, but he spoke feelingly of her great
bereavement and left her counting the
moments until she should see him
again.

he proceeded down the street. "What

MAY REVOLUTIONIzE MOTOR POWER

Scientific tests are still being made
under authorization of congress of a
wonderful device Of Garabed T. Giro
gossian, an Armenian inventor and me-
chanic of Boston, which If all that is
claimed for 1t proves true, will revo-
lutionize the motor power of the world.
The inventor calls his device a
free energy" generator and 1t is sig
nificant that congress deemed the mat
ter worthy of scientific tests. Just
what the engine is, is not made known.
1t is claimed by the inventor that 1t
can drive a battleship any distance
without stop for fuel, for this strange
device uses no fuel; that it can propel
an airplane around the world with
armor heavy enough to turn aside the
heaviest shells, and perform other
feats that seem most uncanny.
