The woman needed three ounces of

street her glance was caught by two
mammoth bottles of apOthecary wa

frosted glass.
Down she stepped-three steps
down-intO as attractive a drug store

bottles of ointments, camphors and

Use for GYroscope.

Very successful, it appears, have
been the experiments which for some
years have been made with a form
of the gyroscope, which is intended
to correct errors of the mariners
compass and, in certain cases, such as,
for instance, in submarine boats, to
replace the compass. The apparatus
in one case is based upon the ten
dency of a gyroscope to retain its
axis of rotation in a fixed position. If
the axis is set to correspond with the
course of the ship any change in the
direction is Immediately shown by
the rotation of a rose" or compass
card, within which the gyroscope is
suspended. Deviations of the mag
netic compass are detected by the in
strument. With the aid of an cleo
tromagnet attachment the apparatus
can be caused to act either as a mag
netic compass or as a gyroscope, in

"A TERRIBLE BLOW"

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the fiirta-
tious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carter's
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward twen-
ty-four years old and impression
able, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair" is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking 1t very seriously
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival Of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the city.
Blondon makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet

position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him, Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet: She prays
to do what Is right.

LESSER EVIL, AS 1T WERE
Darky's Excellent Reason for Pre-
ferring to Take His Chances
With the Bear.

A New York man tells of an excit-
ing bear hunt in Mississippi. The
bear was surrounded in a small cane
thicket. The dogs could not get him
out, and the gentleman who was at
the head of the hunting party called
to one of the darkies:
''Gus, go in there and get that bear
out"
Gus hesitated for a moment and
then plunged into the cane. A few
moments later the negro, thesbear and
the dogs were rolling on the ground
outside. After the hunt was over the
man from the north said to the darky
"Gus, weren't you afraid to go into
that thicket with the bear?"
Colonel" said Gus, sit was jest dis
way: 1 neber had met dat bear, but l
was pussunally acquainted with de old
boss, so i jest nachurally took dat
b'ar."-Philadelphia Ledger.

CHAPTER TX.

The move to Huntington was made
quickly and quietly, and lazy weeks
followed, TO Harriet weeks of almost
clOudless content. Ward, early in Au-
gust, after a serious talk with Harriet
joined some friends for a motor run
of three thousand miles, and presently
was sending them post cards from
Monterey and Tahoe.
They had been in the new home only
few days when Harriet had reason
to stop short in a busy morning of
unpacking with one hand upon her
heart, and a great satisfaction in her
eyes. Nina reading from a note from
Royal Blondin, announced the sensa-
tional news that he had broken his
ankle. He was with friends at New
port, and must remain there now for
weeks, perhaps a month. Nina was

Richard, abruptly.

with white lips.

at random. "They've-they've hardly

"Ah, well And she is only seven
teen" her father said. Distract her,

No time to think-no time to trim

blindly ahead now.

"Oh, certainly! Certainly!' he said.
approvingly. "Ill speak to her. We
must keep Nina little girl this sum-
mer. And. Miss Field"
1t was said with only slight change
in the pleasant voice. But it brought
a sudden change in their relationship.
Tightening of the bonds that were
all Harriet's world now.

The secretary's shining head dropped,
and she rested her elbow on the table,
and pressed white hand tight across
her eyes for a moment of silence.

When she faced him again her face
was little pale, and her magnificent
eyes heavy with tears.
Il love all the Carters," she said
simply. 81 only wish 1 were-half
what you sayT
And without another word she stood
up, folded into tiny oblong the pa
per upon which she had been making
few notes, and went slowly to the
library door. More deeply stirred
than she had been since the days of
her passionate girlhood. she turned on
the threshold for look of farewell
But Richard Carter had left the desk,
and was kneeling on one knee before
his safe; he had forgotten her. Har-
riet went across the hall, mounted the
stairs, and found her own room. She
was hardly conscious of what she was
doing or thinking.
"Oh, what shall 1 do?" she whis-
pered. "He trusts me to protect her I
