There Is nothing that possesses the

Thera comes from the prairie town of

or their ' closest approach, they will be
about one-third the diameter of the sun
or moon apart. As both will rise that
morning at 4:30 o'clock and the sun at
&. o'clock, we will have only a short
time to enjoy the spectacle, If the envious
clouds do not Interfere. We ought to look
low down In the sky a short distance

"My dear," his voice vibrated with
pleasure, "I can't keep my secret. To.
morrow Is the fourth anniversary of our
wedding, and here is my gift in commem
oration of that happy event-"
Her eyes shining, the woman took the
document and. opened It,
"A deed to this house!" she cried.
"And all that it contains," laughed ber
bubnd; "everything, including myself."
There was an exclamation of delight
The woman kissed him asaln and again
aua called bim a dear boy and a good
buy and the best husband In the world.
Juue, who vhad awakaned and followed
thein, drew back, so they would not
know ' that the had heard, but she was
glad for once to have been an unwitting
eavesdropper, glad ' to, have shared In
this joyous moment. '

Down at tlio dock Ned Warner' detec
tive appeared, and Bouncer, picking up
the trail at the landing, ma excitedly up
the street at the point where June and
Durban had taken the Uxl. Bouncer U
ttn to go round and round In widening
circle, whining, hi nose close - to. the
ground. The trail waa lest, a they .had
known that trail would be, and from
here the detective scattered, seeking ev
erywhere in their own method for a clue
to the wherabouts of th runaway bride.
As they left the vicinity a rowboat pulled
slowly up to the dock, dragging behind
It a steam yawl with frosty mist on Its I
ateveplp. and a very much begrimed I
lady with a long nose and high arched
brows landed and went away without a
word, pausing only to cast a look . of
aitherlng scorn at the well known and
justly famous private detective. Bill 'Volt.
That short, thick individual, with much
puffing exertion, scrambled up and re
newed the sraudg oa hla fax with a
rotary motion of hi sleeve and damned
profuaely; then he, too, atomped away.
Bly and Edward and Cunningham In
a luxuidou limousine stepped at a bouse,
where Oiey were ushered into a gay par
lor, wlier half a dosen handsomt'ly
weened young women crowded around
llieui wtth hilarious greetings. A large
klcnd woman canity m to greet the callers,
and to her Bly showed the pk-tuie I
transfer hla heart to orro of thoe pat
terna of domesticity, thinking to do It
as easily as If It were a piece of unen
cumbered real estate.
That is not a way to forget. There is
no way to forgntfulncss that lies In the
trying. That is, of course, when ona loves.
If you would forget her be with her more.
Oct a snrfeit of her society; call on her
In the curl-paper hours and encourage
your stomach to every feat of endur
ance her cooking exacts, remembering
that the way to a mans heart lies
through his stomach, and that the path
by which love goes in . love may also go
out.
I do not promise good results. Your
desire to forget will make yon remember.
You may marry another girl, thinking
that will conquer memory, but when
years Jiave whitened your hair your wife's
plainness of feature will remind' you of
the pretty girl you once leved, and, alas,
still love; and her faultless pastry will
cause you to remember some that was
very faulty. And memory will not bo at
tended by a 'whisper of congratulation,
but by a sigh of regret.
My dear young man, if you live her
you will never forget If you love un
wisely, that Is better than .not loving
at all, and if you decide to stand ' by
your heart end give it a chance you hnve
this to comfort you.

Uncivilised Natives of Wild Regions Delight in Weird Creations .

Whoever walks thoughtfully throuu'i
the hall of the American Museum ef Na
tural History that are devoted to the ex
hibitions of the life, pevsnns dwellings,
occupations, apparel, customs, ceremonies,
wcrn. utensils, ornaments, toys and
fetiche of the former red-eklnned owners
of this continent will gain an Insight Into
the minds and ways of savage that
hardly any amount of reading could give
so well, and that will place before his
ryes, almost as vividly aa In a motion
picture, the thrilling scenes by which
our forefather wera surrounded when
they were subduing a new world.
Among the things there shown nothing
Is more curious than the strange mask
that were used by various tribes In their
religious and other ceremonies. The Im
agination of the red man rioted In the
Invention of these grotesque ohjorta, and
yet Iho play of fancy exhibited in them
was not purely raprlrlnus, but was di
rected according to certain fixed notions
and beliefs concerning the gods, demons.
Imps and .other superhuman powers and
souls supposed to watch over and Inter
fere with the lives of human being.
The tendency to represent the human
race under extraordinary disguises and
in nondescript forms and to Imagine
supernatural powers to be concealed be
hind such mask la common to savage
all over the world. Among civilised peo
ple It show itself, without the supersti
tious element In maaquerades, carnival
and conventional symbol. But even elv.
Illsed or partially civilised people, in
some eases, have not been free from the
superstitious practices connected with the
use of masks. When Dr. Sohltemenn un
covered the so-called "royal graves" at
Mycenae, which he supposed to contain
the bodies of Agamemnon and his com
panions, slain aXter their return from
the siege of Troy, he found. In some of
the gravel, masks of pure gold, fitted or
pressed over the faces of the skeletons,
snd although these masks are though to
have been Intended for portraits of the
persons on whose faces they rested, yet
there can be little doubt that they had a
ceremonial meaning, just as have the
various objects that nearly all primitive
peoplea deposit in grave. Their grotesque
appearance may be due ' to the luck
of skill of the makers and to the fact that
the graves caved in centuries ago, flat
tening out all their contents.
The Iroquois Indians, the anginal "Five
Nations" of Central New Tork, had
most popular Institution called the ''Falsa
Face Band," consisting of certain mem
bers of the tribe who wore for ceremonial
purposes grotesque wak. Imitating the
Imagined faces of evil demons, who were
believed to Inhabit the earth, and to be
bodiless, except thst they possessed
hideous faces of the human type.
Whether in visions or y pure force of
fancy the Indiana had acquired definite
Idea concerning the ajpect ' of these
demon faeea, and their typical forma were
closely mimicked In the mask- It was
believed that the maskers, by their mum
meries, were able to counteract, er reader
Innocuous, the evil Influence of tit de
mon. The power to heal the sick was
also ascribed to the maskers. In which
case they reversed the magic of the
"false faces," as the demons were catlrd.
One of these masks, which may be
seen in the museum, has a etirlou story
connected with it that shows the reach
of the Indian imagination. The face of
the - mask 1ia one side singularly distorted.-

the legend, this demon, one day met thn
