Karlo Scott urrlvcd nt the pier Just ts the giant stcnuishtp docked. Ho ap peared to be looking for no particular person, but, rather, to search tbe faces of the crowds about him. Some ono tapped him on the arm. "Are you one of thoso horrid men?" b rather tired voice Inquired. Scott turned and smiled at the girl beside him. "Well, I certainly am a man," ho acknowledged, "and I guess I'm about ns horrid as most of my sex." "Oh, I didn't mean I beg your par don," stammered the girl. "I meant wore you a customs offlccr? You sec. lm"- ITe scanned the glri'a face closely, vould she bo up to tho old game of smuggling? More than ono official bad been tricked by a pair of honest eyes, and Scott had Just acknowledged that he 'was but a mere man. Tho girl cer tainly had a fascinating personality. Scott Informed her that he was not a customs official, but offered to be of any assistance to her. "Ob, thank you so much," sho ex claimed as she hurriedly glanced about her. "I want a cab to take mo to that address," and she handed him a visit ing card. "No one has met me, and, oh, I must set away before ho comes off the boat." "I understand," assured Scott, though in reality he did not. "Want to shake some undesirable shipboard acquaint ance?" "It'a not exactly that bo's a dear, but oh, if you will Just get mo a cab that will solve tho whole problem." A cabman was found who agreed to take the girl to her destination for a nominal fee, and as Scott closed the door upon bis mysterious companion sho leaned forward through the win dow. "Won't you tell rao your name and I'll havo my- uncle wrlto and thank you?" she inquired. ' lie drew a card from his wallet and presented it to her. Aloud sho read the address in trembling voice, "Mr. Earlo Cowdrey Scott, llnrlcquln Club." "Won't you write Instead?" Earlo suggested, but the disinterested cab man whipped up his horse and her answer was lost Scott now hurriedly returned to the ship and boarded her. He hnd no dif ficulty In tlndlng his father, who was always among tbe last to leave a ship. Ills son, knowing this, had not hasten ed to find him. After tho flntt greet ings tbe old gentleman slapped his son affectionately upon tbe shoulder. "Well, my boy, I've brought you a fine present this year a rare prize." Then, glancing about the ship and the crowd below them, he added. "Hut I think the little minx has slipped off." That evening as father and son sat chatting over their coffee nnd cigars the old gentleman announced: "Well, Earle. I brought a wife homo for you tame over In the ship with me." Earle seemed somewhat startled. "May I ask. dad. If you have mar ried again, or Is this matrimonial im portation for me to take unto my self?" "Oh,, for you for you," said the old man gleefully. "And we're going around there tonight, ncro's where she la, H,er uncle, old .John Ranks, Is a great friend of mine." He passed the card over to Kurle. The latter had held the mute to it In the morning.' Smiling to himself, Earle agreed, thinking that the myxtcrlous girl vfss well worth knowing better. All day long Innumerable pictures of her bad flitted through bis mind. He would be glad to know the truth. When father and fcon were announc ed, John Banks and his niece entered the room full of hearty greetings, but the young couple gave no outward Blgn of recognition. Before loug the two elder men found that comfort awaited them in tbe library in the form of duplicate wbiit and good ci gars. Earle notfd that Edith Hamilton was somewhat 111 at ease, but made little headway In rolvjng the problem that evening. When he left the faoutse, how aver, be bad to acknowledge to him self that the girl was charming in tbs extreme. Fie mi$VoI iiermlsBlon to call again. "And, by the nay. Miss Hamilton, 1 Aau't have to drag father along every time, do I?" be sitked In mock defer ence. On tbe way home that evening the father went Into something of an ex planation. "There's an old fashioned girl for you, Earle. hike your uotbrr ns aa a girl. Nothing deceitful about her right in the open-everythlng straight from the shoulder. 1 talked a lot about you on the trip over and told her she was Just tbe type of girl you nets looking for that we needed her sort ,to round out our home. Bbe's been In school for years over in France and bow baa come to beep house for Banks Bfow did she strike youV "As a most deceitful, deep young per. son," announced Earle, with great em. paaais. Yet in his heart he really felt that the apparent deceit only added to her charms Karle became a frequeut visitor at the Banks household. Iff had the same of a heartless bachelor among his club mates. Women in general a& made little Impression on him. but be had to acknowledge to himself that he lored thf girl with, alt his power and his power was n great one. He wanted her and would lcavo no stone unturned to win her. And tho evening came when ho told her of his love and asked her to bo his wife. "Oh, I with you had not nsked me, Mr. Scott, 1 couldn't, rcully 1 couldn't," was her Insistent plcft. "Just let's go on being friends." The big man seemed to shiver. Ho was very much in earnest, but he took her refusal like tho man he wns. As he sat nt his desk the next morn ing Idly drcnmlng of dreams gone wrong his telephone boll rang. It Was Edith Hamilton at tho other end of tho wire. She asked blm In most un steady voice to como over thrt even ingthat sho had some sort of nn ex planation to make. Shnrply at 8 o'clock Scott was In tho drawing room. As she entered the room her face bore n sad expression, yet withal she wns rndinntly beni tlful to Earle. "Little girl I" Scott nlmost whispered ns sho came toward him. She seemed n saintly being, far beyond his reach. "I love you you know thnt. don't you?" "Yes. Earle. I believe you do." sho tittered hb she sank Into a chair near him. "Thnt Is vthy I Bent for you. Something' seemed to tell it to me after you left. I want to tell -you something. Tho day I met you on tho pier I want ed to escape your father before ho camo on shore. We had Joked about my marrying his son, and when the time came when I, must actually face you I hurried away to escape the meet ing." "And 1 thought you were running away from tho customs officials," laughed Scott "Well, in part- I wns. You see, I brought over a lot of real laco and smuggled It In. I had sewed yards and yards of it on a cheap petticoat which I had on nt tho time." For a moment they both laughed heartily, then again the serious expres sion came back into Edith's face. "It was nil started in a Joke," she continued. "But when I had actually met you and" here her voice dropped nlmost to a whisper "and loved you. I was so afraid that you were asking me Just to please your father." "Do I look like such a mollycoddle?" asked Earle ns he drew closer to her. "Well, that wns why I said 'No!" last night. Then I couldn't sleep for the very Joy of thinking thnt perhaps per haps you really did love me for myself nlonc. Do you, Earle?" For answer Earle took her In his arms. "You're n deceitful little wretch," ho teased, "but I love you nnd for your self alone better than life Itself and you must know it." "Oh, dear, I'm so happy," she mur mured ns she nestled closer to him. "And, Earle, It's early, and Uncle John has gone over to piny whist with your father. Let's run over nnd surprlso them. I'm sure Uncle John will bo bo glad to be rid of mo and your father well" "Will be so happy to find that his matrimonial importation has proved ac ceptable." finished Earle. What Matter Really Is. Throughout the greater part of space we find simple unmodified ether, elas tic and massive, squirming und quiver ing with energy, but stationary as u whole. Here aud there, however, we Qnd specks of electruiied ether, Isolat ed, yet connected together by fields of force uud a atnte of violent locomotion. Thebo "specks" are what In tbe form of prodigious aggregates we know as "mnttcr," and the greater number of sensible phenomena, such as viscosity, heat, souud, electric conduction, ab sorption nnd emission of light, belong to these differentiated or Individualized and dissociated or electrified specks, which are either flying alone or are restoring with orbital motion in groups. The "matter" to constituted built up of these well separated particles, with Interstices enormous In proportion to the size of the specks must be an ex cessively porous or gossamer-like struc ture, like a cobweb, a milky way or a comet's tall, and the Inertia of matter that Is, tbe combined inertia of a group of electrified ether part lei must be a mere residual fraction of tbe mass of the main bulk of undlffer enUated continuous fluid occupying the same spnee, of which fluid the par ticles are hypothetlcally composed and In which they freely move. Sir Oliver Lodge ib "Modern Views of Electric ity.' By Inheritance. When a strange woman came for the soiled clothes, aays a writer in the Bal Umoro News, tbe mistress of tbe house came to the conclusion that her own laundress bad simply employed a new messenger and made no comment on the circumstance. But when two Weeks hsd'jcie byand still ,the old laundress known as' Susan did not appear the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking in her duty If she did not make some Inquiry about her. "Where is Susan?" she naked the tall, bony woman who came for the clothes. "She has gone to Pennsylvania to live, yessum," returned the woma with composure. "She went to Penn sylvania some time ago, an she let goodby for yuh, but a long yuh didn't Mem VPh notice 1 didn't say nuflanV "But why didn't aba come and tell me and allow me to make some ar rangements about my laundry?" "Well, she lef yo' clothes tub meh. She made a will an' lef' dem clothes tuh meh. We'se alius been good frlen's, an so w'en she lef she say I may wash yo' clothes long ex I wush tuh, an' dere was no nse worryln' yuh bout hit. now waa dere?" To this moderate and sensible ques tion tbe mistress of tbe house found no ready response. "ROBERT FULTON AS A LAD. m Incidenta Illustrating the Young Man's interest In Mechanlrs. There nro several anecdotes which rolnto to Robert Vulton'o early interest In mechanics tho first slops of progress townnl his later skill. In 1770, when ho was eight yenrs old, his mother, having previously taught him to read and write, sent him to n school kept by Mr. Caleb Johnson, a Quaker gentle man of pronounced Tory principles so pronounced, In fact, that ho narrowly escaped with his Hfo during the Ilevo lutlon. But Hobert Fulton did not care for books, and bo begnn nt a very early ago to search for problems never mns tcred nnd bound In print This greatly distressed tho Quaker teacher, who spared not the rod, nnd If Is snld Umt in administering such discipline on tho hand of Hobert Fulton ho ono day tes tily exclaimed, "There, thnt will make you do something!" to which Itobcrt. with fqldcd arms, replied, "Sir, I came to have something beaten into my brains nnd uot Into my knuckles." Without doubt be wus n trial to bin teacher. Ho entered school ono day very late, and when tho master Inquired the rea son Kobert. with frank interest, re plied that ho bad been ut Nicholas Mil ler's Bbop pounding out lead for a pen cil. "It Is tho very best 1 over hnd, Kir," ho afllrmed as he displayed his product. The master, after an exami nation of the pencil, pronounced It ex cellent. When Itobcrt'R mother, who had been distressed by his lack of ap plication to his studies, expressed to his teacher her pleasure at signs of improvement tho latter confided to her thnt Hobert had said to him, "My head la so full of orlglunl notions that there Is no vacant chamber to stow away the contents of dusty books." These incidents to tho contrary. It Is nevertheless true that Robert Fulton did nbsorb n good knowledge of the rudiments of education. Century Mag azine. THE TRAPPED THIEF. A Midnight Adventure With South American Desperadoes. In describing certain experiences among the outlaws aud desperadoes of South Aiuerlcn nu English traveler tells the following grisly story: "One bight a farmer was roused from bleep by hearing unusual nnd Mealthy noises about the place, lie KOt quietly out of bed aud, after listen ing attentively, discovered that some people outside were cutting a hole through the door close to the bolt by which It wns held. "It did not rcqulro any great amount of detective talent to guess the object of thi' operation, and tho best way to Toll It wus suggested by n thong of inwtildt; with n loop on It which hung from n hook on the inside of the door. Noiselessly removing the thong, he flipped tbe end of It through tho loop, nnd there ho atood armed with an im promptu lasso, ready for action. "It was nn anxious time while the f farmer stood watching the hole in the door grow larger and larger uutll at last It was of sufficient size to effect the purpose- for which it was made. "The supreme moment arrived, and a hand was "steulthlly Inserted not only through tbe hole, but also through the loop of tbe little lasso which hung skillfully around It With a Budden Jerk the loop was tightened around the wrist and the hand dragged In as for ns tho uperture would allow, while the thoug was securely fastened to the hook on the back of tho door. "Tho robber was perfectly helpless, His companions cnmi' to his uid and, having Ineffectually dragged nt the im prisoned arm till they were tired, gave up the struggle and prepared to depart "But they wore prudent men. and It occurred to them to xnve himself their companion might betray them. Dead men, they thought, tell no tales, so they killed him." New York MaiL A Maharajah's Revenge. A umhumnce of Xcpaul committed Bulclde In horror ut tho disfigurement which uu attack of smallpox bad caused In her features. The mahara Jab, vho wns passionately' attached io her, first wreaked his vengeance on tbe physicians who had attended her In her illness. Then he flew at higher game. Out of tbe great temple he brought tbe Idols, placed loaded can non before them and bade gunners fire. In terror at the proposed blasphemy, they refused. Thereupon the mahara Jah banged several of them. The sur vivors then submitted, and tbe guns were tired and the Idols blown to piece. -Lelpslc Mlsslonsblatt The- Coveted Hand. The young man had gone to the heir ess' father always a ticklish Job but he took his courage with an Iron grip. "Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand." The old man, not la the least discon certed, said: "Which hand? The one she signs checks with, I suppose?" Hit Him Hard. "I presume," said the lodger Icily at the conclusion of the little dispute with bis landlady "1 presume that you will allow me to take my belongings away with me?" "I am sorry." was the loy, reply, "but your other collar has not yet come home from tbe laundry." Kansas City Independent The Way Hs Lest. Tho McSkinner Twa shllliu' to gan te Holborn! Nny, nay.
