HIS auaaclty was actually srar1Ilng

HIS audacity was actually startling. was her thought; but she could not permit him to place himself in such danger. He had once been her sweet heart-had continued to be, though gone from her life, until now-well she still felt, but-nO, she must not think of 1t In love with burglar? Horrible! And then, he must have de- ceived her by that talk of tuberculosis just as an excuse to get rid of, her. He certainly looked husky enough ;; still, she could not be instrumental in letting the law get it's hands on him.
 "I'm not afraid to go alone," she told him. Its just little way along the shore."
 She started away, but after taking u few steps looked back. He had turned from her and was looking full across the lake, standing as motionless as q statue.
 "Good-good night" she called soft ly.
 He turned like flash and caught up with her.
 When can I see you again?" he said in that harsh voice. "When? I must see you again."
 She shook her head, then caught herself. What hurt would it do?
 "All right" she agreed. Tomorrow night, right here, at g."
 She walked rapidly toward the ho- tel. When the light of the hostelry flashed into view through the woods she stopped, stepped close to the Wa ter and took a ring from her left hand She extended it over the water, hesi- tated, sighed, and replaced it on her finger and hurried on.
 At the appointed hour the next night she went to the rendezvous anu found Chester waiting.
 "HellO," he said, and his voice was not as husky as on the previous night. He saw that she noticed the differ ence, and explained:
 Been taking cough medicine. My colds getting better" wanted?"
 He pointed toward the sky, which was lighted by Luna, assisted by myr- lads of stars.
 "1sn't it wOnderful-that sky, the moon, the stars and-and this air? I love them-and I love these noun tains too. You see, they all helped to make me well. They helped me to fight the white death germs, and we won."
 She was looking at him intently, mystitied. through the semi-darkness.
 'Wouldn't it be terrible to be shut up, away from all those things?' he went on. And think of what I did this afternoon. l shut man up, and he'll probably stay in prison till he dies"
 Are you out of your mind?" Inez inquired, anXiously "What are you raving about? Whom ditL you shut lp1"
 "Why, of course you don't know. mean Slim sam, the hotel burglar. I've been after him for three weeks," Chester answered. "I forgot to tell you was sheriff of this county"

IS there problem which, perhaps, Is more likely to be answered some day than this one, which has been pro- pounded to the bewilderment of scien- lists.
 Suppose pipe which would permit or the passage of mans body were pierced through the earth from Lon don to the Antipodes. and a man con- menced to descend by means of a lad der running the length of the pipe. Naturally he would descend feet fore. most. On reaching the center of the earth he would, on account of the revolution and formation of the globe. presumably be going upwards until he emerged in the Antipodes.

Embroidery an Old Art

Embroidery is supposed to be one of the earliest domestic arts for it is argued that 1t must have been en- ployed for decorative purposes very soon after sewing was invented. This would place it long before the art of weaving was discovered and back in the days when the skins of animals were the only material for clothing that existed. The earliest known spec imens of embroidery, however. are some fragments discovered in Egypt. and the earliest of these is supposed to have been made about the fifteenth century B. c. Naturally materials of this kind disappear very rapidly, and 1t is only in a very dry climate like Egypt with it's sandy soil that fab rics suitable for embroidery could sur vive.

The Money Cowrv

Ihe occurrence of the money cowry in Iceland and England has a curious origin. This species, a native of the tropics, is used as current coin in cer- tain parts of Africa. Some years ago It was very abundant on the coast of Cumberland near the mouth of the Calder river. The specimens are be-
 neVed to have come from the Glen ooWra, a vessel wrecked off Seascale in fog in 1873. She was homeward bound from Mama and carried 60 tons of coWries as part of her cargo. As this means about 10000 GOO shells, it may well be that money cowries will be picked up op our northwestern coasts for many years to come. Those found earlier on the coasts of Down, II eland, were supposed to have come from slave ship wrecked in the neigh bOrhood.

South African Timber.

It Is not so very long ago that South African timber was, taken all round, considered of little value. Now that imported timber has gone up in the market, many virtues have been discovered in the native timber which previously were unknown. In conse- quence, South African timber has come to the front, so that it figures prominently in many instances. Saw Ing timber, such as Cape pine, poplar, yellow wood, blue gum and other va r1eties, cut into standard deals of 8 by 5 inches, is quoted at 1O1h pence to l shilling per foot. This timber is used mostly for boxes and packing cases, as we'll as substitutes in the mines and buildings for the imported Baltic woods.

Sunshine seems to play an impor- tant part in the lives of fowls. There Is no doubt that they lay much more regularly, and appear generally hap pier, when in the sunlight. The next best thing to sunshine in this dull old country is light which gives to the foWlS the impression that the sun is shining.
 Fortunately the fowl is easily de- ceived, with the result that great deal of success has attended the ex periments of well-known engineer who is building fowl-houses with a material similar to canvas, stained and vanished so that the house Is always lighted in the daytime with light of pleasant golden color. By means of electric light placed outside, the fowls can easily be made to think the sun Is always shining; and so successful nave been the results that farm is being established on these lines.

OIL INDUSTRY HAS A

yet the prices held steady with only
slight increases during the war per

Supplies for the oil fields jumped
TO unheard of figures and in many
intances were almost unobtalnable al
any price. Wages increased and
transportation charges increased and
everything which the oil industry
used increased. Now after Il is ali

the oil industry.

The situation lasted only brle

industry, which went through the en-

ecutives and mayors but Similar ap.
peals have gore TO clergymen

measures will be supplemented by a
vigorous campaign in many other
ways to bring about wide purchases
of Government securities as holiday
gifts.
Governor Calkins said
Economlsts are agreed that the
present exorbitant level OF prices

curities of the United states
