ly, and a widow. Naturally she had
suitors. But Anne Porter proposed to
surrender her liberty to no inun, not
even to Cyrus Boggs, who wus llfty,
plump, uncomely, and a childless
widower.

m Tho Widow Porter had oife special
Rlrtue. Sho had Inherited eight thou
gand dollars from the lato Ephralm
Porter, whose virtues are recorded on
a squarish slab with rounded corners,
standing bolt upright, and engraved
yery large, so as not to be missed
vhen a certain trumpet sounds.
Cyrus Boggs had had twelve thou
sand once. That was before tho Pe
kln smash. Ilallburton Pclcln was the
shrewdest company promoter that evor
came out of Cyrus Boggs' home town,
which had given birth to several. It
was suspected that more than ono of
Itho homo folks had been stung by
fPckln's land schemes. But they kept
' very, wry quiet
., Cyrus did anyway. Nobody dreamed
SXht his twelve thousand had gone into
renin's bottomless bogs somewhero
down the lower reaches of the Missis
sippi. But after that the Widow Por
ter seemed like a ripe, sound peach,
a little too high on the tree.
Wo now shltt to Monsieur Eleazar,
tho hypnotist, who spent ono night In
-Farmer Ell Jenk's barn, at twenty-five
m cents a head, and held his audience
S(spellbouud.
How they laughed when mean old
Ebenezer Brlggs handed out million
dollar bills to all and sundry I What
roars of laughter went up to the owl
Iniestcd rnfters when old Miss Skin
ner, seventy-four and la'me, hobbled
up and down the planks, under tho
Impression that she was crossing Ni
agara on n tight-rope I
Whnt roars resounded when tho Rev.
Phllo Spratt, who had incautiously
lent himself to the experiment, em
braced a dozen non-existent wives, In
vthe belief that he was tho Grand Turk.
At tho end Monsieur Eleazar stepped
forward.
"What I have done," he said, "any
man can do. It Is not the virtue in
me, It is a power possessed by all." .
Cyrus Boggs did not remember the
rest of Monsieur Eleazar's speech, but
he remembered the methods that he
had used. And that night a wild hope
was born In him, and the next Satur
day night he said to the Widow Por
ter: "You wasn't at the show last Tues
day, was you, Mrs. Porter? Say; you
oughter havo seen It! Gol darn It, I
nearly spilt my sides with laughing.
Let mo show you, Mrs. Porter."
"Oh, please do, Mr. Boggs," said tho
widow, looking up from her knitting.
"May I hold your hand, Mrs. Porter
Jest out of scientific feelings? You
see, I tnko it so, and I look Into your
eyes. Now watch mo steadily. I
make three passes, so. Now your
oyea close."
And, by heck, the "Widow Porter's
eyes closed. Cyrus Boggs felt all the
thrill that comes to a masterful man.
"You can't open 'em," ho said.
"I can't open them," repeated thj

Widow Torterj softly. "
'1 am your master," sold Cyrus
Boggs.
"You aro my master," whispered tho
Widow Porter.
"You love mo," said Cyrus Boggs,
feeling an extraordinary sense of $m
er. "You'vo always loved me. Oljujr
you've been hiding your feelings out
of coyness."
'Tvo always loved you," murmured
tho Widow Porter.
"You'ro fast asleep now, and yot
you can sco me," said Gyrus Boj&n.
"You can see the lovo light In my
eyes. When you wake up you Will
seo me as the handsomest man youre
over seen. You will bo crazy to mA)y
mo. You will marry me as soon as it
can be dono."
"I shall marry you tomorrow," whis
pered tho Widow Porter, and Cyrus
Boggs was aghast at the success tjiat
attended him. Ho waved his hand
across the widow's face.
"Wake up, and remember Jennie,"
ho said huskily.
Tho Widow Porter opened her eyes,
stared, and flung her nrms about Cy
rus' neck.
"I V)ve you, Cyrus," sho murmured
tremulously.
"I cannot conceal my feelings nny
longer. May I bo yours"
"You may, Jennie," responded Cyrus
as ho embraced her.
"Oh, Cy, It's like a miracle," said
the Widow Boggs. "I've been bo mis
erable with that wretched Mr. Pe
kln taking my eight thousand dollars
for his schemes, and I don't believe
I'll Bee a penny of it again, and if it
hadn'ft been for a strong, man's lovo
that come along when life seemed
worthless what's the matter, dar
ling?" "N-n-nothlng, dnrllng," said Cyrus
Boggs.
Source of E6klmo Vigor.
Itev. Dr. John Marquis, explorer and
missionary among the Eskimos, attrib
utes their hardihood, vigor and gront
endurance to the fact that they get
sufllcient vltaniinus through eating al-
jiuost the whole, carcass of their kill,
including brain, nerve and glandular
organs. Otherwise It Is hard to con
ceive, he says, according to the New
York Times, of their being able to
make bucIi good use of nn almost pure
ly meat diet, aM one so freighted with
fat. Dr. Marquis says that, as the
white man's white bread, refined sugar
and canned goods gradually penetrate
into the Far North tho white man's
diseases aro likely to accompany them.
Not very much Is known about the
origin of the 50,000 or more Eskimos
who live In a region where the temper
ature reaches and remains for long
periods at from '10 to 70 degrees below
zero.
Almost the only edible plant growth
In this frozen land Is the reindeer
moss, the food of the great herds of
reindeer that Inhabit northern Siberia.
Tills moss and occasional patches of
coarse, wild grass are not considered
pulatable and are seldom enten by
man.
To Stcuro Clouds on Negative.
Amateur photographers nro delight
ed to find, sometimes, that they havo
natural clouds upon their negatives,
and they imagine (hat these have oc
curred by a lucky chance. Really tho
result Is a proof that they have made
a correct exposure.
In order to secure clouds on the
negative, It Is necessary to remember
en old rule "Expose for the shadows,
and the high-llghts will take care of
themselves." In other words, ono must
look for the darkest part df the pic
ture, and give that part sufficient ex
posure. Usually, clouds are lost be
cause the sky, being bright, Is much
more exposed than other parts of the
picture. On development the linage
becomes dense there before the dark
er parts are strong enough. Hence
the sky will not print.

Detecting Remade Milk.
Because of the Increased use of re
made milk, manufactured from pow
dered or condensed milk and sweet
cream butter, It Iihh become necessary
for chemists to devise some test thnt
will Indicate its presence In milk prod
ucts. If tho curd from remnde milk
is dissolved In sodium hydroxide, it
shows a characteristic yellow color,
after stundlng, while natural products,
or products containing only a small
percentage of remifde milk, do not
sliow this color. As little ns 10 per
cent of remade iiillk can be detected
by this test wl'en enrefully made.

Closely related with the now home
Idea in China Is the now Idea on mar
riage ; that Is, Individual choice rather
than family choice; "for lovo, not by
purchnse."
Like the new home this will be a
matter of slow evolution. For In China
the- Individual Is not thought of or
looked upon as nn entity; he is but a
part of a family which Is the unit, the
entity and which nt all costs must be
preserved and perpetuated. Hence, In
dividual desires must be subsidiary to
the wishes or the benefit of tho family.
The practice of this principle
throughout the long centuries has In
stilled In children a submlsslvencss to
pnrents, to family, that Is engulfing
of personality, though It Is tho steel
that gives strength and form to the
structure of the Chinese nation.- The
submlBslveness is more than a con
scious obedience; It Is Involuntary
surrender.
Consequently, though the new young
woman may advocate the theory of
personal choice In marriage, only tho
most radical really desire It or would
dare wholly to follow It, Emma Sarepta
Yulo writes In Scrlbner's. In matters
touching the soul centers, Inheritance
and tradition are always stronger than
Imported Ideas, no matter how forcible
their appeal to reason. Miss China
still feels that in tho mntter of n )
mate tho parents' judgment Is the
better.
