r
Unmasked
By GEORGE ELMER COBB
(Copjrrlfbt, 1H, by tht Wtitern Nw
ppr Union.)
. Rather pettishly Mrs. Abncr Gill
'flounced Into the kitchen where her
husband was mending n leaky pnn.
She naturally had a spicy, fault-finding
vein, and Just now It wns accent
uated. "Humph 1 Another whim of that pre
cious old relative of yours," sho snap
ped out.
"What now?" questioned Abner.
"Your Uncle Sllns has brought home
a stranger to dinner deaf as n post,
like himself.
"That so? Well, Martha, you know
what we have at stake. We've man
aged to get the old curmudgeon right
Into our clutches away from all the
other relatives, and we mustn't lose
our grip now. lie can't laRt forever,
and when he does kick the bucket
we're pretty sure to get the bulk of
his fortune."
Sullenly Martha Gill proceeded to
prepare the meal, but she and her
husband were all smiles when the quar
tet sat down at tho table. Their
policy was to coddle, entertain and de
lude their aged relative. Uncle Si as
had about 10,000 government bonds.
The GUIs believed they were his chosen
beneficiaries and had played their
cards so cleverly that Sllns had come
to them with the statement:
"I need a home and am willing to
pay for It. If you say so, I'll camp
down here with you people, turn In
$300 a year for my keep, and as to
wbnt I leave behind we'll see In due
, time."
"Ohl dear Uncle Silas, don't talk
, about money. All we care for Is to
mako you comfortable," asserted Mrs.
Gill.
It was by accident that Silas had
happened upon a brother In nflllcflon
passing through the town. Per slate
and gesture they had quite a comfort-
able conversation. When they ad
journed to the next room the
stranger sat watching Abner and IiIb
. wife clearing oil the table.
He seemed Immensely Interested In
studying their faces. Finally he wrote
on the slate:
"Friends of yours?"
"Oh, yes," nodded Uncle Silas.
"Not very good ones,"' came In re
. ply, but the stranger, who understood
Hp movement language, declined to ex
press more than an opinion. He, how-
. ever, showed Silns a little book pub
lished by a prominent aurlst In the city
to whom he said ho was going for
treatment. ,
After he was gone Uncle Silas
thought a good deal about tho city ex
pert and ono day told Abner and Mar
tha that he was going away on a
visit to his deaf acquaintance. The
announcement disquieted those fond
relatives, but they dared not cross his
will. Abner grew anxious and Martha
fumed and fretted constantly, as a
month passed beforo Uncle Silas wroto
t them thnt he Intended to bo bnck home
. In n day or two.
When he did como ho found the
folk absent. He lny down on tho
scat of a little latticed summer house
In the garden. Ho awoke at the sound
of voices.
, "Yes, It's him," ho heard tho voice
'''"of Martha "heard," for tho aurlst ex
pert had cured his deafness.
"We'll have to begin tho old proc
ess of humoring him," replied Abner..
"And he looks as If his trip had done
him good. The old nuisance! Better
than ho ever did."
' "Soy, Martha, you go through his
things when you have time nnd see
If you can get any Inkling of his pnr
pose In visiting tho city."
"A good Idea. Maybe ho has been
making arrangements about his will I
A fine thing it would be If, after all
oar scheming to get his fortune, he
should cheat us 1"
"Oh, we've pulled the wool over old
Unk's eyes too slick for thntl" de
clared Abner.
Uncle Sllns was hurt, nstounded
horrified. He had greeted the restora
tion of his hearing with nrdent delight
and thnnkfulncss. The shock that now
accompanied Its possession benumbed
him,
He went from the garden wondering
If all the rest of his kin were of the
tame heartless mold as the Gills. Men
tally he went over the long list of
relatives. Almost Involuntarily he
turned into the yard of an humble lit
tle cottage. It was tho homo of his
brother's widow and of Alice Leigh,
her daughter.
All of a sudden he realised that he
had not treated them just right In nl
lowing the GUIs to poison his mind
against them.
Through tho open window floated
tho voice of his niece. "Yes, mamma,
Orion Is poor like ourselves, but we
love one another, and he Is going to
the city to work nnd we will both
mve and wait till better times. I hod
an Idea of going and seeing Uncle SI
las about buying out for me tho lit
tle millinery store offered for sale
down town, no was always very kind
to me until he got living with the
Gills."
"I hope they are genuine In their
Interest In him," said Mrs. Leigh, "no
la a good-spuled old man and deserves
care and affection for his many kind
deeds."
Uncle Silas went to tho door and
knocked. There was a pathetic re
solve In his wan face.
"I reckon I've found a nest of true
t hearts at last," he said to himself, "and
I'll enmp down here nnd make these
tw lovers happy,"
ANOTHER SPHERE FOR WOMEN
PcMlblllty That the Fair 6cx Will
Carry Off Honors In Field of
Naval Architecture.
"The women who have stormed the
fortress of naval architecture have won
a plnce in what Is perhaps the most
Interesting professions In the world,"
says Manchester Guardian. "Mr.
Chesterton has commented on the odd
fact that, while men have been
building houses from the beginning of
time, they have not nchlcved anything
llko a perfect house, but the position
as regards ships Is still more curious,
Your house may not be a perfect house,
but, with proper precautions, you can
be sure of getting whnt you planned
end of getting a house that will stand.
Even now It Is far otherwise with
ships. Take the case of rnclng yachts.
Two yachts may be built on similar
plows by the same firm ; one will be n
triumphant success, the other a rank
failure; no one seems to know why.
Big liners are built nowadays In pairs
or triplets; yet any seaforlng man will
maintain that they arc entirely distinct
In every essential particular, and even
In the matter of speed there will al
most certainly be a difference. Stranger
than all Is the case of warships, which
seem to delight In puzzling their archi
tects. In the case of one class of
splendid cruisers In our own navy rad
ical changes hnd to be made after trial
trips, nnd It is pretty well known that
some designs have been far from com
ing up to whnt wns expected of them;
yet nt this date It would have been
supposed that experts could not be de
ceived. However, It may perhaps bo
said that womnn will find a natural
affinity for these little peculiarities."
REGULAR CYCLES OF THOUGHT
Mleht Be Described as Periodical
Waves Passing Through and Agi
tating the Human Mind.
Just as we find a mathematical rule
at many of the bodily movements, Just
so thought may be supposed to hnve
Its regular cycles. Such or such a
thought comes round periodically, In
Its turn. Accidental suggestions, how
ever, so far Interfere with the regular
cycles, that we may find them prac
tically beyond our power of recogni
tion. Take all this for what It Is
worth, but nt any rate you will agree
that there are n certain particular
thoughts that do not como up once a
day, nor once n week, but that a year
woald hardly go round without your
having them pass through your mind.
Here Is ono which comes up at lnter-
vals In this way. Some one speaks of
It, and "there Is nn Instnnt and eager
smile of nssent in the listener or listen-
ers. Yes, Indeed; they hnve often
been struck by it.
All at once a conviction flashes
through us thnt we have been In the
snmo precise circumstances as at the
present Instant, once or many times be
fore. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Origin of Japanese Language.
"Tho closest relation of the Jap
anese tongue is with ancient Hebrew,
although, In somo cases, words show
a great resemblance to Arabic, which
conserves tho more archaic features
of the parent speech."
This conclusion has been reached by
Dr. Robert Armlstcad Stewart of
Johns Hopkins university after an In
vestigation of tho origin of the Jap
anese lnngunge, according to the Ja
pan' society, for which he has prepared
a statement Continuing, lie says:
"In the course of the Investigations
there were established tho mutations
that go far to proving tho original
unity for the Aryan and of tho So
mltlc spoech nnd that explnin the
points of correspondence noted be
tween Jnpaneso nnd Indo-European.
Hence, it develops that primarily
through tho Semitic, and secondarily
through the Indo-European, Japanese
Is related to our English tongue a
fact that should conduce to quickened
Interest of the two peoples In one an
other and lead to a better understand
ing."

The Ship Came In
Py VICTOR ARNOLD
(Copyright. 1111, by the Weitcra Nw.
ppr union.)
At a point on the river shore where
a great bluff projected bright, careless
youth splashed and laughed and shout-
ei with Joy. Alma Dunn had brought
the four little children of a neighbor
to play In the sand and, their shoes
an(i stockings high and dry on the seat
0f an 0ii rotting scow, they ventured
ankle deep into the sparkling water.
At that same moment on the other
side of the bluff, pensive, disheartened,
young manhood In sombre mood, sat
Mnrvln Rose, staring listlessly at the
water. He had left the city that had
held nothing for him of encouragement
or hope, with high ambitions dashed
flD(j on)y husks for his portion
He wns so absorbed that the echo
of a scream followed by the uproarious
chatter of excited Juvenile voices
failed to arouse htm. He was thinking
sorrowfully of the ships of fame nnd
fortune that had never come In. In a
cynical way he laughed bitterly as
there floated around the base of the
bluff a battered old scow.
'About the only kind of a craft that
will ever bring weal or woe to me I"
soliloquized Marvin Rose. Then he
observed on the gunwale of the scow
five pairs of shoes and stockings. Four
of them were of diminutive size. The
other, dainty, graceful, told of girlish
ownership. He went quite to his ankles
in the water nnd rescued this queer
flotsam.
The episode rather interested him.
Judging from the voices he had heard
Rose reasoned out that some party had
lost their footwear through the treach
ery of the shifting scow. The bluff
came sheer down to the water's edge
with no path beyond it He made an
armful of the articles aid proceeded
Inland. He crossed the bluff and came
upon a wagon road, and a little farther
on a man bearing a scythe. The Jot
ter looked curious aa he made out the
burden Rose carried.
"Where did you find them?" he In
quired at once. "Alma Dunn and the
little ones will be glad to get them
back, for none of 'them probably have
more than one pair," and as Rose ex
plained he continued : "I met them go
ing dolefully homeward barefooted.
You'll get a welcome, mister."
"Where docs Miss Dunn and the
little ones live?" Inquired Rose, and
the man Indicated a little group of
houses about half a mile distant and
Rose trudged on
The first house painted slate col
or wns his guide, and as he knocked
nt Its door the unshod damsel of the
brookslde approached. She flushed
and shrank aside to hide her feet
"They floated past me down the
river," said Marvin.
"I am so glad I My little friends
were quite forlorn over their loss,
Father, n strange gentleman has
brought home the lost shoes. Won't
you thank him and entertain him
while I restore them to the little
ones?"
An old man supporting himself with
a cane came hobbling to the door,
When Alma returned she found her fa
ther and the stranger seated at a table
discussing the meal she had prepared,
familiar as two old friends.
"I reckon, Just ns the children de
clared, the fairies had something to do
with your mishap, for It has drifted
Mr. Rose right up against what both
he and I have been looking for," said
Mr. Dunn. "He wants work, nnd I've
got it to give him. We have pretty
near arranged thnt he Is to take
charge ot my three teams and super
intend the town work until I get on
my feet again."
Mr. Dunn was the owner of tho
tenmH in question; In fact, outside ot
his humble little home they were about
all he had of value except Alma. Be
fore Rose closed his eyes that night
he decided that his ship had come in,
for the homely old float had brought
him into the company of the most win
some lass he had ever met. Before the
week was out ho was content to pass
his life In the secluded little hamlet,
The charge of the teams opened hon
orable employment and the evenings
spent with Alma nnd her fnthcr were
occasions of rare comfort nnd content
ment
Once he referred In mock doleful
nesjs to the ship that had never come
to him, but likewise to the river craft
that had brought him peace and hnp
plness. He touched a vital chord In
the experience of the old man when
he did so. Mr. Dunn hnd Invested
nenrly his all In n nautical venture In
behalf of nn old snllor friend "who
had never come bnck," he told Rose
mournfully.
But Marvin forgot his past disap
pointments and Silas Dunn his invest
ment loss when the former uud shy,
blushing Alma told the old man of
their mutual love.
"You've got more thun my blessing,"
he sold. "You vo got my confidence,
and you'll be true as steel to Alnut, 1
know, and what more do I wish In
lifer'
Just one day before the wedding
thero came wonderful news to the
humble woodland home. It was to the
effect that the Evening Star had ar
rived In port after strenuous wander
ings In southern seas, with her rich
cargo piloted safely to port.
"Which means luxury and prosperity
for tho three of us," proclaimed gen
crous-hearted Sllns Dann. "That's all
the Evening Star does brlns, though
whllev that wreck of a scow brought
me a loving son and a happy duugutei
Mi my declining years."
