old boy and leaves him in the street

Fl. Tulley, 1916 Race street at an in

to place the responsibility for the
death Of Mario Campiglia, nine, 1888

mother Of Patrick c. Tulley, nine-year-
Old-playmate of Mario. Young Cam
piglia was run down and killed by
small touring car on Sixteenth avenue,
near City park.

she said, "a woman got out Of the
car and walked back to where the
little fellow lay in the street, IN
conscious and bleeding. I asked him:
Did the woman pick him up or help
himT He said she did not, but that
she turned around, went back to her
machine and drove away. Is there
anything more irhuman2 Is there a
woman In the world who could do
thing like that?"

story to relate that when Don de-
parted, some time later, he had agreed
to Mary's plan and carried away with
him q fat volume entitled Familiar
Quotations" Also that far into the

Because he was one of those sym
metrically built chaps whom the gar
ment designers take as models for
their standard sizes, Donald Whet-
more looked very we'll indeed in his
ready-made suit. In his eyes at least,
Mary Elizabeth was a rosy dream in
her frilly pink organdle gown and
hat. The car in which they set forth
for the eventful call was the best Don
had on hand for demonstration pur-
poses. All this grandeur, however,
was lost upon Uncle James, whom
they found on the porch Of his spaci-
Gus home, lost physically in the depths
of a large wicker chair, for he was
little man; and mentally in a small
volume bound in limp leather.
"Just one Of my old friends" he
said in greeting the arrivals, holding
out the book as though he expected
his guest to shake hands with it. Give
me the old ones every time"
"Well. give me liberty or give me
lodge in a garden Of cucumbers,"
responded Don cheerfully. From then
on this irreverent young man totally
and purpOselly disregarded Mary Eliz-
abeth's look Of horror and Uncle
James puzzled frown which changed
to angry resentment as the converse.

refused gathers no moss"

be diligent in your business, as Mary
tells me, but
"Seest thou a man diligent In his
business? He shall flourish like the
green bay tree" interrupted Don
rudely.

MADE OF COMMON MATERIAL
What We Call Precious Stones Are
Really Nothing but Earth Cooked
In Natures Crucible.

Most of US know that the diamond
is really nothing but piece Of super
coal. Its costliness is due to its
scarcity, and the fact that when man
has cut it and polished it, it glitters
attractively.
But do you know that the opal, the
diamonds rival, is literally nothing
but silica (fln0 and water? True it
Is that these two elements have been
cooking" for some thousands of years
in natures cruclble, and that the out
put Is small. Hence the price But
the beautiful iridescent coloring is
merely water and not fire" Buy a
$500 ($2,500) opal, and you buy flint
and water.
The exquisite turquoise, with its
soft blue color, is but phosphate of
alumina (clay), and the copper in the
earth Is the color maker. But clay
and copper crucibled In natures
chemical laboratory produce the tur-
quoise.
The sapphire, oriental ruby and to-
paz, are not crystals of flinty earth.
The sapphire's blue color is merely
iron-One grain Of 1t acting on one
hundred of alumina. The red of the
ruby comes from the clay being acted
on by chronic acid.
The garnet and beryl are only COM
pounds Of flint and alumina, with--for
the making of the beryl-some earth
called glucina, a sweet salt secreted
by nature.
The lapis lazuIi Is nothing but COM
mon earth saturated with sulphuret
of sodium.
All the above, and other precious
Stones could be made by the ton-if
we had natures crucible. Water, clay,
flint, sodium, are as cheap as dirt
1t Is the crucible we lack.

a latticed honeysuckle vine came fra

soft breeze; a brew which no $50 law

on it's intoxicating quality. And now
into this paradise of young lovers

timbre of Dons voice was caressing,
she chose to disregard that and to
take offense at his words.

Now, Donald Whetmore, like many
men who work with their hands, was
not given to analyZe his motives. This
matter needed some thinking out, he
decided, and who can search for cold
reasons and hold the only girl in the
world in his arms at one and the
same time? So Don merely answered
in a conciliatory tone, even If l
