SUFFERED FOR OTHER'S SIN Pathetic Story Told as an Example of the Peril That Lies In Inefficiency. A. I?, llawley, president of the Aero club, told in New York the other dny tan inelliciency story. "IJewaro tho lnefllelent mnn," ho said, "for if you hnvo dealings with him it is you, not he. that will Suffer from his inefficiency. "A foreigner In outlandish garb claiming to be an Armenian came here to solicit funds Inst year for his com patriots. It happened that another Armcnlnn wns uTrested nt the time, nnd tho first chap was nsked to go to court and net as his Interpreter. "Well, ho reluctantly consented to net, though the truth was that he knew no. Armenian whntever. Anyhow ho stalked Into the courtroom, listened In grave silence to tho prisoner's pns sionnte protestations of innocence, nnd then turned to tho judge and snid with a low bow. " 'Your honor, my compatriot hns confessed all. lie begs you, however, to be lenient for suffering Armenln's sake.' "The judge thnnked tho interpreter warmly for Ills services, and then sen tenced the Innocent prisoner to five years' linrd Inbor." Development of Army Searchlight. A review of the work of tho nrmy engineer corps In the wnr, first Is sued by the wnr department, snys that the corps produced n new form of searchlight more' powerful tlinn any that had preceded It in any army, with which the Second field army had been partially equipped. "It weighed," the report snys, "one-eighth as much as lamps of former design, cost only one third ns much, wns about one-fourth as lnrgo In bulk, nnd threw n light 10 per cent stronger than any other port able projector in existence." Still fur ther to perfect the searchlight, our en gineers were at work on n remote con trol when hostilities censed. Scientific American. . Honey 92.1 Per Cent of Normal. .

That particular kinds of tempera ment exercise n baleful lnlluence on wntches seems to bo n common expe rience.. "I onco carried four in three months." writes u correspondent, "nnd all stopped. A wntchmaker told me that they behaved as watches do when- the spring of the bnlnnco gets mag' netized, though why ihey should have done so he could not say."

It wns in li ipirlnl Rome that I had first met Rafael Urose. 1 wns then of the artist c 'immunity nnd Ids plensnnt ways and love of pictures hnd com mended hlin to every mombor of our Uohcmlnn group. He was wont to innko the round of the studios, an en couraging visitor nnd oft (hips a pa tron.' Onci or twlco he brought with him his sNter, Teresn. Slio was then bnrely sixteen and the most beautiful being I had ever met. She nnd I wore fast drifting from mutual friendship Into something moro fervent when sud denly both brother and slStOr disappeared. It was an old nntlve sculptor who solved the mystery of their, vanish ment. , It seemed tlint tho Broscs wore the Inheritors' of n deadly Vcjulettn Which hnd pursued the fnmlly until four of Its members foil victims to tho stiletto. "The last living relatlvo of Rafael lied to America to savo' his llfo five years ago." explained my lnfornmnt. "I heard that ho had died there. Por hops he 1ms loft hts fortune to Rafael find Ids nlpte." Tlio 'memory of the beauty nnd gen tleness of Teresa did i.ot leavo me, even nfter I hnd returned to my home ln,"n western city, hut I learned noth ing of their whereabouts until nbout a year later. I had entered a city res taurant ono day and just ns I seated myself nt n table from the next there arose n young man and n veiled lady. Tho former wore a beard, the latter colored glasses, but I knew them at once. "Rnfnol. my denr friend 1" I exuber ated, rushing up to him nnd seizing Ids nrnf In a transport. In n flash he turned, cast a sweeping glance over tho crowded room nnd said hurriedly: "Not that name In public. Follow ns it casually until we get ciear ot this place." ' I handed Rafnol my card. "Tonight," lie said in u low, cautious tone. "And it mny he late." . "At tiny hour; I shall bo waiting up for you." I replied, land they hurried away, Teresa with ir slight responsive movemtjjit of her linnd. it was alter miunigni wuen onise tapped at the door of my studio. He lingered nt the threshold for u mo ment or two,- peering shnrply down the street stairway as though fenrful of being followed. It was a strange story thnt Rnfnel told me. For tho sake of his sister lie hnd fled from Ids native land to evade tho desperate mennce of tho vendetta thnt hnd been sworn against them. Ills uncle had died, bequeathing nil he "owned to them, but it wns in a shape where slow liquidation would be nee essnry. , Ills dealings had been mainly with a large number of foreigners. Rafael had taken up his abode and that of his sister In the poor quarter of fBe city where his uncle hnd lived, assumed n new nnme and pretended to be tho at torney for heirs abroad. Piece by plcct hut unostentatiously, he had been, selling off the property. "About ,u month ago," he told mo, "I received h black-hnnd letter demand ing a largo sum or death would follow. Some one of my enemies abroad, or a meal blackmailer hns guessed my true identity. With fervent haste I nin closing up my business, then to seek a new homo under less hazardous con ditions,. I hope within a week to close out all' my business and then we enn welcome-, you ns the esteemed friend that you ''are." It was one evening, a month later, when my landlady enme rushing to my, room In n state of frantic exclte meh. "Oh, sir !" she quavered, "a gen tlemnn all blackened and burned is in a taxi below and n lady with him, fainted or dead!" I ran down to the street. Rafael Indeed looked as though ho had gono through some terrific ex- ni'Wnneo. Ho bore ids sister in his arms. "Give us shelter," ho spoke. "She hiU3 only fainted from fright. The Mnek hand dvnnmited our house, but I escaped with a few bruises." My landlady took charge of Teresa. When she had been carried to her room Itnfnel sat in my apartment tell ing of the vindictive efforts of his per secutors. ''I urn through with It nil, however," he snld, almost gaily, "as all the old business has been settled," nnd so we sat discussing our plans for a pleasant iomo on the const, for a renewal of our old close friendship. There wns a tap at the door. A gen tlo voice spoke. It belonged to Teresa. "Mny I come In?" I stood spellbound. Thero wns my old-tlmo love, now vellloss. Thore wns the old-time beauty, unmarred. To drive away rude and unwelcome visit ors she had disfigured her fnco with pigments and stains. Now her peer less beauty shone forth, nnd, too, in those expressive eyes, divested of glasses, thero gleamed tho old radiant light thnt told thnt she still loved me. Thero lsj no echo of tho dark past for Rafuol Broso now, for his peerless sister Is my wife.
