A CLEVER RUSE By WILLIAM CHANDLER Ono morning In autumn, while Inking an outing in my touring car, I came upon an auto standing in the road which had evidently broken down. A man was attempting to And the break, wlillo a woman sat In tho car. I pull ed up bcsldo the couple and asked if there was anything I could do for them. "My wife," suld the man, "was go ing to tho railroad station at Montrose to cntch a train, but this mishap has delayed us. SInco you aro going in tho opposlto direction from Montrose, I conclude you will pass through Water ton." To this I nodded assent. "A train passes through VVatcrton ut 3 o'clock. If you would kindly car ry my wife to that station she would bo In time." "I would be pleased to take you both. Thcro is plenty of room in my car." "Thank you very much, hut I must remain with my machluo and secure n workman to fix It or get It towed to n garage." During this brief dialogue the wom an, who was veiled, remained In the car without saying u word. After my offer the man went to her and said something In a low tone. What It was I did not hear, but she appeared to glvo a ready assent to It, for she got out of tho car; the man took up n suit enso and put both her and tho case in my auto. Having shut tho door and given her a pressure of the hand, ho nodded to me to proceed, and I start ed on. It was sulllulcntly lato in tho season for fur rugs, and the lady pulled them up to ber chin. Sho partly removed her veil, and I saw that sho was young and qulto pretty. But when sho put on n pair of dust goggles there was very llttlo of her faco exposed. Wo had not gono far before wo mot nn auto coming at a furious pace. In It were two men, tho driver and another. As they passed us they slowed down, and ono of them called out something that I did not hear, but tho other, who was driving, turned on full speed, and they wcro soon lost in a cloud of dust. We reached Waterton in half an hour, and what was my Biirpriso to sco the lady's husband standing on tho station platform. lie cast n quick pin nee at the coming train, then at my car, evidently gauging the dis tance of each, anxious that wo should bo In time. I put on full speed and reached tho platform just ns the train was pulling out. Tho man seized tho suit case, which seemed to concern him more than his wife, and both hur ried to the train, climbing on when It was in motion. My route thenceforth led me back a few miles from Waterton on the road I had come to n crossroad on which I was to chnngo direction. As 1 rodo along I wondered how the man I had left with tho broken down nuto could have reached tho Waterton station ahead of me. I had not had time to ask him this or what ho had done with his car. I had nearly reached the crossroad when I saw coming a car with four men In It dragging another car. By this tluio 1 had become n bit suspicious that thcro might bo something wrong with the couple I hud assisted nnd that possibly I might have been help lng undeserving persons. Seeing tho nuto dragged nlong caused mo to re frain from letting it bo known what I had been doing. When tho men came to a point opposite mo ono of them, looking hard nt me, said: "Sco here, young fellow, who was that woman you were driving toward Waterton awhlto ago?" I recognized him as the chauffeur of the nuto I had met ufter tnklug in tho lady. There- was nothing to do but to tell the whole story, which was listen ed to with eager attention. When 1 had finished the man who had asked tho question snld to me, evidently much chagrined: "Vou havo helped a precious pair of thJoves to get uway with n big lot of plunder. You havo done it either ob a confederate or n fool." "You're tho fool, Slmnionds," said another. "I wnnted you to stop 'em. but ypu wouldn't wait" "I didn't dream tho woman would como back to meet us," said tho other. "It was n mighty clover trick," put in ono of tho others. "Gcutlomen," I said, "will you oblige mo by explaining what has happened?" This -was tho oxplannUon: A butler and a lady's maid had got away with $50,000 worth of Jewels. They had taken ono of the autos belonging to their master and mado for a station on a railroad. Being missed, they wore followed by tho men in tho auto I had mot Their machlno had broken down, and had I not nsslsted them they would havo been captured. It was a stroke of genius on tho butler's part to send tho maid back to tho Waterton station Without him. Soou aftor I loft him he captured a machlno at tho point of a pistol and mado for Waterton by n cut off that I know nothing about In tlmo tho Jewels wore recovered, but tho precious irnlr succeeded In keeping out of Jail. I had some dilll- cuity in clearing mysolf from n charge of having been accessory to tho crimo, hut I told n straight Btory and furnish cd proofs of my respectability. This satisfied tho Judge, who, after giving mo n long lecturo on tho stupidity I had displayed, kindly discharged me. It is easy for a Judge on the bench to bo wise. Th Primary Fact About War. Wo sometimes think that the distin guishing characteristic of war is tho killing nnd maiming of men, but It is evident that this is not tho real dis tinction, for men arc killed nnd maim ed in tlmo of peace. Tho essential and the ono mnrked dlffcrcnco is this, that during war a nation is a society, whereas In pcaco It la na aggregate of Individuals. So truo is this, indeed, that if n denizen from somo other world acquainted with our normal ac tivities during pcaco should visit us when wo nro at war ho would havo dlfllculty in recognizing in this smooth ly moving, harmonious unit tho disor ganized welter of yesterday. Compar ed with tho spirit that, nnlmatcs a so ciety nt wnr, the disintegration thnt inovltnbly ensues when tho sword is laid aside is in all practlcnl respects like tho dissolution which sets in in tho body of n man when tho spirit has taken its flight "Tho World Storm and Beyond," by Edwin Dnvlcs Schooii mnkcr, in Century Magazine. The Black Hole of Calcutta. If tho prisoners in tho famous "black hole" had been us well informed ns modern scientists there would have been no such death rate as actually occurred. Tho men died of Buffocn tlon nnd panic. Modern discovery hns shown that air can support life If it be kept in motion, even though it lias but a ftmull amount of oxygen in It If tho prisoners in the notorious dun geon had therefore formed n mnss and revolved around nnd around at n pace that would have been easy to keep up not only would tho contained nlr have been stirred up, but each man on tho outside of tho revolving mass would havo had his faco presented periodical ly to tho small window. In fact, In the light of recent discov ery tho samo incarceration could now tnko placo without tho loss of n single life thnt is, provided tho men wcro reasonably Htrong nnd henlthy. Every Week. Thackeray's Twopenny Tart. Tills Thnckcray story Is told by tho lato Chnrles Brookfleld in his "Ran dom Reminiscences." "Enrly in their married life," ho writes, "my father nnd mother lived In lodgings in Jer myn street (ho was cunito nt St James' church nt tho time). Ono even ing ho unexpectedly brought homo Thackeray for dinner nnd Introduced him to my mother. Sho wns rather overwhelmed by the knowledge thnt thcro wns nothing In the house but u cold shoulder of mutton. It wns too Into to contrive anything more elab orate, so to 'give nn nlr' to tho tnble she sent her mnld to a neighboring pastry cook's for a dozen tartlets of various kinds. 'Which of these may I glvo you?' she Inquired In duo courso of Thnckcray. 'Thank you, Mrs. Brooktleld,' said ho; 'I'll havo a two penny one.' " Anno'of Ruisia'o 'Ice Palace: I'.'obably tho most remarkable build ing constructed wholly of Ico was the palace built on the Neva by tho Czari na Anne of Russia. Largo blocks of Ico were cut and squared with great care and laid on one another by skill ful masons, who cemented the Joints with water, which immediately froze The building, when completed, was flfty-slx feet long, seventeen and one half feet broad and twenty-ono feet high. It was of but ono story. The facado contulned a door surmounted by tin ornamental pediment and six win dows, tho frames and panes of which wero nil of Ico. An elaborate balus trade, adorned with statues, ran along tho top of the fncado and another bal ustrade surrounded the building nt tho level of tho ground. Tho grounds wero further adorned with n life slzo figure uf an elephant, with his mahout on his back. A stream of water was thrown from tho elephant's trunk by day and n llamo of naphthn by night. A tent of Ico contained a hot bath, In which persons actually bathed. Thcro wero also several cannons and mortars of Ice, which wero loaded with bullet of lee nnd iron and dlschnrged.

Puro water In a Btato of rest Is of uniform density, nnd tho rays of light, although thoy may bo re fracted, pass through it almost unlm pedod in parallel lines. Steam is com posed of vapor of dlfferout degrees of douslty, lutpnnlugled usually with somo air, so that tho rays of light en tering it aro not uniformly refracted and thoreforo lntcrfero with nnd neu tralize each other to a considerable do gree, ns counter or cross waves strike each other down and tend to creato a smooth noa. Chicago nernld. Her Gift By F. A. MITCHEL A girl was sitting on tho porch of her home thinking. Five years before on thnt very day of tho month she had refused Henry MacMIllan. She was then eighteen years old, and the In direct method in love affairs appealed to her. If n man proposed to her anil sho refused him sho expected him to return tho next day and the next nnd so on till she accepted him. MacMIl lan had no conception of this sort of loveinaklng. Ho never said anything he didn't mean and couldn't under stand any one else doing so. But his experience with women was not ex tensive. On this summer afternoon Luella Travels was thinking of Henry Mac MIllan. She had not intended to refine him more than once. When ho came hack the second time which she imt uraly expected ho would do she In tended to accept lilm and nt the snuio time show lilm how long sho had loved him by giving him a smoking cap. n which she had embroidered a wreath, lie had no use for a smoking cap and no ambition to wear a wreath about his head, but Luella couldn't think of anything else to do for him. Henry was ns stupid about some things ns he was wise about others. If a dozen persons hnd witnessed tho refusal he received every ono of them would have known that Luella was refusing him with her tongue, while sho was accepting him In her heart nenry heard her words, but saw not their denial. He had received a busi ness offer in a distant city nnd wished to learn If Luella would marry him. If so ho would consult with her ns to its ncceptnnce; If not he would nccept It without consulting her nnd go where ho would not bo nenr her nnd conse quently the better nblo to recover from his desire for her. Luella was n bit surprised that Henry should have taken her reply so seriously, should hnve bowed, though reluctantly, to what ho considered the Inevitable. Ho left her without a mur mur, and she was somewhat fearful that ho might not give her nn oppor tunity to recnll her refusal. Sho had half a mind to call him back. But hair n mind Is not a whole mind, nnd sho let him go, expecting tho next time sho met him to draw him to another pro posal by those winning ways she un derstood how to apply. She did not see Henry for several days, then she was greatly shocked to hear that he had gone to another city to engage In business and make It his home. Why sho did not wrlto him to tell him that her refusal of him was only temporary does not appear. Perhaps.-It was for tho same reason, that tho myriads of other temporary re fusals aro not recalled. A woman must wait for a first proposal, and it Is equal ly obligatory for him to wait for a second. And now Luelln on the anniversary of her refusal the date was as well fixed In her mind ns her birthday was sitting on the porch wondering as she had wondered constantly since her lov er's departure what could have mnde him so stupid. And yet hnd ho seen through her game what would havo been tho pleasure in her playing it? II had not occurred to ber that sho bad better have refrained from the nnd acted on the principle that a in the hand is worth two in the bush. Who is thnt tnll figure coming up tho rond? There is something familiar In the wnlk, something in tho outline, something intangible, lndescribnblo about the whole. Luella's heart stood still. Yes, it Is Henry. Ho is heavier than ho wns, his step Is a trlllo less quick than It used to bo. but It Is Henry, tho man sho refused flvo years ago, to her regret over since. Was ho coming to renew his propo sal? Luella had had fits of anger against her lover for being so stupid. Now, In stond of n hopo springing in her henrt that ho was coming to tell her that ho could not live without her, with n con sequent throwing herself into his arms, sho wns seized with n deslro to punish him. For whut? For hnvlnglnken her refusal seriously. Henry anno on. Luella, pretending sho did not see lilm, looked up nt tho sky. no stopped before tho house, then mounted tho steps. Luella forc ed a smile. Ho looked ns gloomy ns tho dny ho had loft her. "Why, Mr. MacMIllan!" sho cxclaim-1 ed. "What a long tlmo since I have seen you!" "I'vo not been in this town since I saw you last," ho said. "Canio back to sco your mother. I suppose?" "Yes; to see my mother, but to seo you, too. I'vo passed nn unsatisfied flvo years since I left here. I've come back to try to persuade you to recall what you said to mo Just boforo I left you." There wns something so miserable in bl3 appearance nnd tone thnt her de Biro to nunish him for his stupidity broke, away. Asking hini to "wait n bit" Bho went into the houso nnd brought out tho smoking cop sho hnd kppt so long. "I had Intended to recall what I said tho next dny, but you didn't glvo mo an opportunity. I had been mnking this gift for you for months and ex pectcd to glvo It with my consent" 8ho spoke through tears. Tho man only a genius could por tray the mingled emotions expressed ou his face.
