Fate had dealt Warren Dale uu un friendly blow und tht! effects of the same lingered to harrow and discour age. Just past his majority, ho had left his native village for a busy, bus tllug county sent with a thousand dol lars ho had carefully saved. Ills thought had been to start In business In u limited wuy, but he soon found that amount of capital iusulllclcnt. By mischance he got acquainted with a genlul, frlcndly-nejlng young man who called himself Martin Bearce, and who was u stock salesman for u concern promoting un on company. Bearco soon succeeded In persuading Dale that ho could get hJm some of the sloclr ut a bargain price, guaranteed Its resale within sixty days at a prollt of fully 100 per cent, nnd Dnlo handed out tho money nnd took n temporary Job In a fruit store, awaiting the prom ised riches. Ono morning tho newspaper con tained an account of tho failure of the oil company nnd the disappearance of Its exploiters. Tho suave, fascinating stock salesman was n hoodoo long re membered by Dale with emotions of bitterness and resentment, but as time went on ho tried to take his loss less severely, although his bright, ambitious dreams were dissipated. IIo plodded on Indifferently for a year and then returned to Arden, got his old position and settled down to a humdrum exist ence, pcrsuuded that tho gifts of for tune were not for him. Then came compensation. During his absence a young lady nnmed Nor ma Layton had come to Arden nnd hnd become an employee In Its one milli nery establishment, what attracted Dale to her was her subdued, almost sorrowful nature, eoniewhnt In accord ance with his. own. It was apparent that she had known trouble. At the homo she found with an old widow lady she acted reserved and serious, as though seeking Its loneliness to hide from the world nt large. Dale got acquainted with Miss Lny- ton and their relations were friendly and pleasant. She never alluded to her past und Dnle suppressed his one business experiment. Ho had saved quite a sum of money and was assured of permanency of employment. "I shnll never And a woman more suited to mo temperamentally," ho so liloquized, "nnd she seems to be glnd when I come to see her. Dnre I tell her that I love her?" Onco under tho Influence of lovo and Its promptings every lmpulso wns toward learning his fate, it was a lovely summer evening when he reached the cottnge home of Mrs. Wil lis, to be Informed that Miss Layton was somewhere in tho garden, nnd Dalu went thither In quest of her. IIo heard voices among some dense shrubbery. The tones of Norma were clearly recognizable and Dale started as he caught the echoes of the voice of a man. It, too, caused him to thrill, conjecturo and utter a subdued excla mation. "Martin Bearce 1" ho brenthed, ana then he uttered n groan. Tho man had gathered Norma In his arms ami kissed her. IIo handed her some papers. She clung to him for a moment In a fren zied way. Then as'he leaped the fence and disappeared, Norma went toward the house and Dulo could seo tears In her eyes and hear her low sobbings, Ills heart was crushed, n cruel des tiny seemed to pursue him relentlessly, Tho saino person who had robbed him of his llttlo means had now purloined his sweethenrt, for what could be the meaning of those kisses nnd caresses except that they wero lovers? For a few moments hntred and Jeulousy rankled In the soul of Dale nnd spurred him on to pursue and apprehend tho swindling Bearce. Then, comprehend ing that to Injure him, unworthy ns he was, might crush Norma, he bowed his bend and tried to subdue tho sor row nnd despair that had overw helmed him. Tho next morning Dulo learned that Miss Layton hnd resigned her position nt tho millinery shop nnd was about to leave Arden. IIo himself could not conllno himself to his working duty that day, distracted with the events of tho evening provious. Ho wandered about tho village nlmlessly until nfter- noon, and was seated In Its llttlo park gloomily meditating, when tho scat besldo him wns suddenly filled nnd Norma, palo and trembling, extended nn envelope. "This Is yours, Mr. Dnle," slio snld simply. "It contains with Interest tho money Martin Bearco got from you two years ago. Spare mo the humiliation nnd grief of going into his remissness In detail, lie has repented his acts whllo a tool for clever swindlers, and Inst evening brought mo tho money ho has made by hard work to repay all those ho Induced to Invest In tho oil company." "But why do you appear as his Inter mediary?" questioned theamnzul Dale. "Because ho Is my brother," enmo tho low-toned response. "I am going away " "Then I will follow you, If tho path leads to tho ends of tho earth!" ex claimed Dalo spontaneously. "I came last evening to tell you how I loved you." "No, no my brother " "Is fortunnto In having n sister, the memory of whose great goodness prob ably turned him from his wayward course. My darling, wo will not forget him, for he hns atoned, but for rost from your sorrow come to me to mc, who will glvo you all of n life's dfvo-tlon." The lodestone is considered the most wonderful stone In tin world, but It Is renlly not n stone at all, but rightly belongs to the mineral family. If It Is suspended by a silken throad or floated on mercury, or on a circular raft In water, tho same end of tho stone will nlways point to the "Lode star," or North star; thnt fact Is where It got Its name. Tho lodestone Is u natural com pass, such as the Vikings of old used to mnko centuries before America was discovered. By rubbing n needle or thin steel bar on a lodestone It be comes mngnetlzcd, and will flout on wntcr and nlways point to tho north. Tho most powerful lodostones come from Sweden, nnd hunters tell stories of not being nblc to pick up their guns from tho ground after laying them near lode3tones. Galileo's original lodestone, with which ho mnde so many experiments, weighs only six ounces, yet It Is 300 ears old and holds us Urmly now as ever did. It Is exhibited In tho Tribune de Galileo, Florence, Italy. The Iron weight at the bottom Is made In tho form of n sepulchre, probably suggested by the legend that Maho met's cotlln was supported In mldnlr by lodcstones. LOOK! LISTEN!

A sea chart of the South Sea Islands made of sticks, which served as nn ac curate and authoritntlve guide for tho daring navigators of the Marshall Islands Just ns modern mnps do, Is one of tho exhibits to be seen In tho South Sea Islnnd hnll of the American Museum of Natural History In New York. The strange son chart Is the gift of Robert Louis Stevenson, who lived on the Island of Samoa four years before his death. Distances between the islands were mensured by hours, not miles. These charts are but little used now, but there vvus a time when each young chief was compelled to pass his exam ination In the charts, knowing them by heart, as they never were taken to sea. Some students sny the sticks represent currents, as there are four distinct sets of swells from four qunrters of the sens at various seasons of naviga tion, which were closely studied by the natives. The Dlckclssel. The dlckclssel is a small migratory bird, about six and one-fourth inches long, the mnle beautifully blended with yellow, white nnd gray, nnd with n black throat patch and brown shoulders. The female Is duller. These birds are very numerous in the middle portions of the United States, frequenting dry, bushy fields or prairies. The dlckclssel Is a persistent songster, although Its song Is weak and has little melody. In July and August, when many birds are silent, dlckclssels continue their plain tive chant, even on the most sultry days. Their chanting Is a simple "chip, chip, ehp-ehe-eheo," They build their nesH of weeds, grasses, rootlets, corn husks and the like. They build on the ground, In hushes nnd thistles, and sometimes in trees. The eggs of the dlckclssel nre four or five In number. They are a plain, bluish white, hnrdly distinguishable from those of tho bluebird. EL E OTION MtOCLAJIA.TION 1020.
