A Return From Oblivion By WILLIAM CHANDLFH It Is not an uncoininuM for two youngsters who vi agree tlmt If possible the ntu- .. first will nppear In tlio splrl: oilier. I don't think such ugic ro us npt to bo made now as fori' for belief In the reappearance of i who have died Is not what II v. i when I was young. Scientists li.n taken up the matter, hut the laity iKT. feel much Interest In It.,, I made one of those agreements with Dick Athcrton when wo wero eighteen years old. Dick became a sailor, and on ono of his voyages the vessel ho willed In was wrecked, and all of. board were lout. At any rate, if any of them csraped death ho was never heard from. I took to the water, too. but not in the same lino as Hick. I began on river work and eventually fame to own and run a steamer that J usually laid up in winter, but ran iih an excursion boat in summer. Ono season 1 had contracted to take a varty of excursionists out of Boston liarbor around ('ape Ann. For several flays before our sailing everything went wrong. The government Inspec tor took It Into his head to llnd fault with n lot of things which ho required ino to Improve, and I knew that if I didn't attend to them myself I wouldn't bo ready to keep my contract for tho excursion. Tho consequence was that I got no sleep for two nights and n day before we left Boston. I had scvcl7tl hundred persons nbonrd and, rounding Capo Ann, preferred to rely on myself rather than on any oiiq else. I was passing Thatcher's light when I began to feel so drowsy that I feared to fall asleep, notwithstanding tho fact that the lives of so many liu man beings wero dependent on my keeping awake. I was tired, too, and "when I had a clear course ahead of me I Hat down on the seat behind tho wheel, reaching forward to take It whenever required. Tills I should not liavo done. A man may go to sleep on Ills feet. Ho Is much more liable to do ho while sitting. Slumber got me, though, at lust. I must have slept quite awhile. Sud denly I awoke, frightened out of my wits, for I know what it was to go to tdoep at tho wheel. There was a man Hlandlng between mo and it, turning It rapidly. Whether ho was really hazy or not I couldn't say. Ho certainly looked ho through my sleepy eyes. 1 tried to wnke myself enough to get up and lako tho wheel from him, but somehow, considering thnt ho was there, I couldn't do it. "Oo to sleep, Tom," ho said. "You're not In lit condition for a pilot" t Whether I wns not entirely awake, whether I was dreaming, I couldn't mako out, but the voice was certainly Dick Athert on's. Then I dreamed that I said to him: "Dick, have you come back to keep your promise when wo wero young- Biers?" I "I've come back to keep you from running full headway against Folly point," was the reply. I have said that I dreamed this, be cause that's tho way It seemed to me. What it really was might bo another matter. I woko up again later, looked ahead and saw that there was clear sailing Thompson, ono of my steersmen, wan t tho wheel. "Oreat heavens:" I exclaimed. "Cau It bo that I've been asleep?" "Beckon you have, sir." "How long have you been at the wheel?" "About ten minutes. I happened to look nhead, anil the boat avus heading for Folly point. I ran up hero to see what was up and found you asleep and a man at tho wheel who was wheeling off. Ho gavo mo tho wheel and left tho pilothouse." "A man?" "Yes, sir, ho was u man. Why d you think he was anything else?" "What did ho look like?" "I didn't notice him very particular ly. 1 was too much upset by tho nar row escape. But 1 remember that his lialr was red." Dick Alherlon'fl hair was red. When ho was a boy wp called him Bodily. So horrified was I at my narrow es cape from sacrlllclng a boatload of ex cursionists that I had scarcely time to wonder about Atherton or his ghost 1 asked Thompson If lie felt sure he could attend to tho wheel safely, and when ho replied that ho could 1 told him I would go below and rest a bit. for I was completely knocked out by vrhat had occurred. Leaving the pilot rtuiise, I walked aft through tho crowd of excursionists they were Ignorant f tho fright fill doom they had escaped mil was about to go down tho stern i oiupanloiiway when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning, thero stood Dick Atherton. Ho was ten years old er ihau when I had last seen 1dm, but 1 recognized him at once. Ho wart looking mighty serious. Putting n lin ger to his lips, ho said: "Don't got brolen up over It, old man. Only 1 ui:d tho man who relieved mo at the whcL'l know about It." Dick then brlolly explained. Do had escaped tho wreck of his vessel and Mirnt a year In tho cast, mostly Japan. Returning, ho had seen on advertise ment of thu excursion on my boat, my i a mo being mentioned as master. IIo had come aboard without making him self known and had gone uji to the pilothouse to surprlso mo. but Instead It was 1 who had surprised him. FOREIGN POWERS ON WATCH All Governments Find It Hard Work to Guard Secrets of a Mili tary Nature. Tho protection of y vcrnmont se crets has always roquli et the greatest vigilance. Each nation Is Inquisitive as to what every other country Is ac complishing In Inventing now appli ances for war purposes. Tho construc tion of warships, for cxamplo, calls for much secrecy. Noutral powers must guard well their tiivnl secrets. Offenders against tho neutral policy of a country should also boar in mind tho sovoro punlshmont in store for them, for discovery Is certain sooner or later. Many government secrets do leak out in ovory country. Tills Is owing to tho luro of gold and to tho activity of unknown secret agents. The United Statos, In common with other nations, has Its secret service, and perhaps It is as successful ns any other similar agency. American Inventors should not mako public certain Inventions without lirst offorlng them to tho govornment. In that way they could ho kept sccrot. Sclcntillc menus for tho protection of a country havo not been oxhausted, Indeed, they aro only Just beginning to he used. Present naval secrets of noutral powers may provo of slight lmportanco compared with tho possl bio methods of warfare In tho future. Theso now methods devised hero should ho solely at tho disposal of tho United States, and unknown un til It Is necessary to uso them. Bos ton Olobo. HOME NO PLACE FOR POISON Frequency of Accidents Should Im press That Fact on All National Law Seems Needed. United States public health reports recalls attention, to tho fact that such n largo number of deaths tako place every year In this country from tho unintentional ubo of poison that it would ovldonf'y bo a very good thing If peoplo gcw.rnlly could bo persuaded never to koop polsonB in the homo, tho Now York Herald states. Tho advan tages to bo derived from them aro nev er quito equal to their dangers. Deaths from hlchlorldo of mercury, carbolic acid and other such sub stances contlnuo to occur with sad frequency. No amount of warning will protect against lnadvortanco or ignor ance, and fatal accidents from the mis taking of a dangerously potent drug for ono that Is comparatively Inert havo become staple, often reiterated Itoms of nows In recent years. In the present rather confused state of our laws with regard to poisons In this country, duo to tho fact that each of tho states makes Its own legis lation in this matter, it is probable that until an clllclcnt national law can bo enacted a doflnlto crusado of persuasion agaliiBt tho dangerous practlco of keeping poisons for any reason In tho homo would servo to savo many lives overy year. It is a Blmplo matter, yet of vory great im portance to the community. Tho au thority .of tho United States public health servlco should literally bring it homo to many. Uses of tho Sunflower. Tho Biinllowcr 1b cultivated to a con Bldorablo extent In central Russia, whero every part of tho plant Is put to cortaln economic uses. The dis covery of tho oxtremo lightness of the pith of the stalk has essentially In creased tho commercial valno of tho plant. This light cellular substance Is now carefully removed from the Btalk and npplled to a good many im portant uses. Ono of its chlof uses Is tho making of tho life-saving appli ances. Cork with a buoyancy of ono to flvo, and reindeer's hair with ono to ten has been used; tho pith of tho Bun llower has a buoyancy of ono to thlr-ty-flvo.

Kho years after John and Amy mar ried, she had become something of a Bruull town fixture, with the usual du ties of a young mother, a housekeeper and a member of on nfternoon club. It was thereforo a surprlso to John when sho announced one morning at break fast that sho would Uko to go with him the next time he wont to the city. "You'll be going down on the 20th for that Axtell case against the rail road, won't you?" As John ventured no immediate reply, Amy added: "I hope I shan't he a dead weight?" Their first evening In tho city was spent at the theater, but tho next morning John expressed doubt about bolng able to dlno with Amy that night. That afternoon, Just ns sho had com pleted her purchases, she happenod to moot an old-tlmo friend of her moth er's family, Mrs. Marlow. "My dear child," said that cordial woman, after their first greetings, "you must como with me to dinner and go with us to hear that poet ev erybody is raving about Wholoss Haeburn, you know. After a quick trip to tho hotel, where Amy left a noto for John in case of his return, they wore off to a delightful dinner. Mrs. Mnrlow's party arrived early at tho club meeting. Amy looked about In widc-oyed Interest at the handsome ly gowned women, the sleekly groomed men and tho soft-footed attendants of tho fashionable hotel In whoso gilded parlors tho gathering was held. Suddenly her eyes filled with a look of pained surprlso as she saw John enter with a handsome woman in an ultra-dccolleto gown of black satin which shimmered but llttlo more than did her smooth black hair. Sho car ried crimson roses. Amy found her self wondering If It could bo a night mare Instead of a reality. In a volco full of deep melody the poet read his verses poems of patriot ism, of childhood, of love. Amy kept watch on John nnd his companion, who had taken Beats half facing her. With Mrs. Marlow's motherly bigness between them, Amy could boo without being seen by John. 4 "By George! This Is a surprise, John. Wo wero wishing for you at dinner, and Amy said sho was sure you'd como out If you got tho noto she left for you In time." In his enthusiasm, Mr. Mar low did not notice that his words seemed to bring a look of perplexity Into his face. "Amy?" ho asked absently. "Where 1b sho?" "Oh, In that maelstrom of hero wor shipers and sycophants," indicating tho throng pressing about the poet. Then, with sudden seriousness, ho added: "Old boy, you'ro a lucky man to possess such a jewel of a wife In these days when a truly balanced woman Is a distinct rarity. There's more than one woman In this very crowd whoso husband neither knows knows nor cares whero sho Is, and it's fako marriages like theirs that seri ously under nine society. You stny hero and I'll get our wives and we'll mako a quick got-awny." Tho handsomo womnn'a expression chnnged from Indlffcrenco to Interest and from Interest to enthusiasm as the poet's musical volco filled tho room John seemed discomfited, though Amy ! could not toll whether It was becauso of tho woman's forgetfulness of his presence or from a deslro to escnpo tho wholo thing. As tho poet's volco died away, a babel of voices roso In delighted com ment. IIo was surrounded and lion ized by many, prominent nnd persis tent among thorn bolng John'o compan ion. Bored by tho wholo proceeding, John stepped Into nn adjoining room and, ns ho would hnvo it, walked right into ponderous Cyrus Marlow, who had been detained in a committeo meeting. Half an hour later, John and Amy wero on their way to tho hotel alone In tho Mnrlow's limousine. Amy hold her head high and hpr Hps shut tight, nnd John stared grimly nhead for somo minutes before ho spoke. "Amy," his volco wns hoarse, his , sower lateral as per report of city en sontonces abbreviated, "of courso 1 do- giueer is $1.00.00. servo to ho thrown off forovor, but j Lo mbor t0 1)0 employed as far as don't do It without hearing mo. I'vo 1 ,)0ib, ?' , . . , ,,',, learned tonight whnt real values are. Most of all I'vo loarned tho value of a woman like you. That woman is tho wlfo of n railroad official who Is much nwny from homo. Sho was amused with my admiration until bIio caught that poet's eye. Whllo Marlow was looking for you sho passed out and bndo mo good night, saying that friends who llvo In tho snmo apart ment sho doeB had Just room enough In tholr car for hor and would not lot her say no to tholr Invitation. When I saw that tho poet was also of tho party. I understood, but didn't care. Sho had passed out of my llfo before thnt. for ns I sat thorn nnd faced thnt crowd and thought of you left alono at that hotel I was ready to light my way out of that room." "I wns watching you, John," sold tho now relenting Amy, "and half wny hoping that your dlscomllturo was not Jealousy ovor her forgotfuIncsB of you. I was hoping too that I might grow until I could All your heart, for I'vo found today what a sorry, stupid com panion I'vo become." "Not a word Uko that," said John. "Nobody, not ovon you, can malign the dearost woman on earth." (CopyrlBt 1910. by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.)
