The o'Rourke home. was a distinct
surprise to Mrs. Mendall.
She had never been on this street
that was given over to unkempt
housex placarded with signs OF fur
nisaed rooIns." Only a few years be-
fore this had been one Of the beauti-
full residence streets Of the city. But
the expansion Of the business section
had rapidly changed it's character.
The old families had flown westward
with the exception Of the O'Rourkes
and possibly n or two others.
Yet in spite. Of its surroundings the
o'Rourke place retained its, gentility.
It occupied nearly a quarter Of a
block, and was distinguished by the
most beautiful trees Mrs. Mendall had

land town. The house. stood high
above the street. on n Of the natural
knobs that had abounded in Laclasse
before the leveltnE process had de-
ttneutshing characteristics. It was
almost hidden from the street by a
thick hedge and shrubbery, and was
approached by a zigzag fight of stone
steps. When MacAllister had assisted
her up the steps. Mrs. Mendal saw with
delight that the terraces and sunken
garden below were natural inequali-
ties made beautiful. There was a
bright flower garden in the hollow in
which famed many Of her fayorites.
And the house with its steep gables,
high narrow windows and painless
aspect stirred her to h~onaesickness.
There was plenty Of h~oneysuckle

creptitude; but 1t had such a familiar
face. and all about were the equally
familiar indications Of loving care;
not a gardeners care--a woman's
care. Mrs. Mendall forgot her. an
noyance at being forced into Freda
O'Rourke's house. What a beautiful
old placed" she exclaimed. And on
reaching the porch with its pent roof,
she stopped again to admire. "Wc
look right over all that ukliness in the
street below. straight into the heart
of the city,"
Allister said, with his rare look Of
satisfaction. Miss Freda's a great
lover of. flowers"
The mention OF Miss o'Rourke re-
minded Mrs. Mendall that che. was do
ing an unconventional thing. Freda
.O'Rourke was OF considered beyond
the pale: she was simply regarded
doubtfully. LAclasse society passed
her by on the other side. but that was
mainly because she no longer had the
money to attract them. Still it wae
hardly the thing for her to luncl,
alone with Alexander MacAllister and,
house. But she could not afford to

She had decided instantly. During

stood with hat solidly GROWING his

he had taken 1t off with an air curl
ously ~old-fashioned and d~eferential;
his manner was not without charm.
But it was, not his manner that de-

OF large flat fins projecting on eth

wire rope in such a way that it
runs from the ships bows outward.
The wire rope is intended to pick
up the mooring ropes OF mines and
slide them along until they reach
to the nose OF the device, where a
sharp saw is fixed inside a N-shaped
slot. The saw cuts through the
mooring rope and allows the mine
to float free where it can either be
avoided or destroyed.
The invention is known in the
service as the 'P. w. or para
vane."
