said that this explorer has devoted
more severe labor to the accomplish

other ten tnen of this country. His
donations to museums have Includet

Captain Chittenden has visited prac
tically every Indian tribe on the con

distinguished old chiefs as long as six
months, or a year. He has conse
quently become versi-d in several In

fact that, save on one or two occa

Cupid and the Proprieties
By Catherine M. Patterson
iCopyn*t.t, 13::-. by A Moriatod Litcnry Pre&j
.Monoay morning was drawing peril
ously near and the party had Just
broken up. It was one of Patricia Nor
on s regular Sunday eight supper par
ties, whose guest list never numbered
more than eight and usually less—and
the Fal wells and Jimmie Brent were
the latest stayers. Mrs. Falwell and
ter husband were Just leaving. Mrs
talwell and her husband! It was al
ways that way, not that Mrs Falwell
«as the more important of the two or
»as the possessor of any mental, moral
or physical superiority, but It just nat
urally was Yet every one lilted Mr
Falwell and he himself seemed quite
content with things as they were.
Jimmie Brent had risen with the
Falweils. but after they had gone he
still remained. In his hand he held
a half smoked cigar.
"May 1 stay until 1 finish this?" he
inquired. Indicating his weed.
"Surely," said Patricia.
“Brent procipt'j knocked off not
only the ashes, bu? the live end of the
c:gar. Patricia's eyebrows went up
inquiringly.
“Your motive. Jimmie?" she ques
tioned.
“You said 1 should stay until I fin
dsh-d this cigar." holding it off and
admiring its proud, brown beauty.
“But I don’t expect you to be for
ever doing it.”
“Forever!" mused Jimmie. Td like
to make this last forever.”
"Jimmie Brent, you are coming back
to a forbidden subject. Finish that
cigar in five minutes—for then out
you go."
“Do you mean that. Patricia?" ma
king no move to light his cigar and
—if possible—settling himself still
more comfortably in his chair. "May
I ask how you are going to do it?
You can’t use brute force, you know.”
’’I shan’t attempt to do it myself.”
she said, with dignity. “I shall call
Aunt Nancy, and if she can't accom
plish It she will call the janitor."
’Tall Aunt Nancy? Good. She
thinks you are making t+e mistake of ,
r
1
'I’d Never Oo That.
all the many mistakes of your life
In so persistently refusing to marry
me. Call Aunt Nancy In If you wish,
she Is on my side."
"1 should say she Is. She made the
coffee so strong tonight that if It had
wanted to do so it could have walked
off bodily with this entire apartment
And all that because 'Mar'se Rrent he
likes his caw fee dat strong dat if de
tup was ter bre'k de cawfee would
'most stand up alone.’"
"All of which goes to prove my
point As for the janitor, nice sort of ,
a name you would have if one of your
Sunday nights ended in a disgraceful
brawl between the janitor and one o! .
your guests.”
"Nice sort of name I’ll have, any
way, if you stay here much later.” :
muttered Patricia, glancing at the j
clock. “Those new people across the
hall are taking a lively interest in me
as it is.
“I think they are horrid. I've seen
only two members of the family, but ■
they are enough. There is ar. old, 1
gray-hnired woman, so lean and an
gular you could use her for a cos- j
turner. She owns a barbed-wire
voice that corresponds perfectly with
her hatchet-face.”
“Barbed-wire voice, hatchet-face.”
repeated Jimmie. “She is perfectly
sale from me. But what sort of per
son is she? Your descript'on doesn't
reveal that lUtle detail.”
”Oh. doesn't it? Then perhaps the
fact that she discusses the other peo
ple in the apartment building with the
servants may throw some light on the
subject.”
"It does help some. Rut what has
she said about— about—well, about
you. for Instance?”
“Well, she said that If 1 were not—”
Patricia stopped In the Kiddie o! ter
speech, and ber face fasted.
“Go on. What did sbe sap7"
“She said." repealed Patricia, with
as effort, “that if I »u cot engaged
tc you 1 ought to be. and—"
“My sentimenta exactly. The iad?
of the hatchet-face U not such a bad
sort, after a!L Bat to go on What
else?"
“She said It was disgraceful the
number of time* that you come ter*,
and the lateness of your stay Is al
ways perfectly shocking. And those
are my sentiments. Jimmie; you aim
ply must go.”
“Not until you hare promised to
become Mrs. J. Bren: before the year
Is ever."
“I'd never do that."
“Very well. then, here 111 sit Mean
time. take heed unto yourself and re
member the hour."
"I am remembering It Jimmie.
Please, please go. Finish your cigar
as you cross the park."
"No. thank you; that isn't Included
in my campaign plans. Tell me more
about these Interesting people Who
is the second member of the fam .y
that you know?"
"A horrid, freckled boy, who is the
most ubiquitous person with whom it
has ever been my misfortune to come
ir. contact He is always in the ha:;*
and lately he has insisted on posting
my letters for me. Fairly snatche*
them out of my hand and races off
like mad. I can't stir any more with
out finding him at my heels.”
"You seem to have made a conq\i*'t.
and. after the manner of womankind
in general, you don’t appreciate it
By the way, how did all these remark*
of the hatchet-faced one reach your
e'rs? That point isn't quite clear to
me."
“Aunt Nancy told me. The woman
herself and the janitor, to whom my
most estimable neighbor across the
way has also been talking, it seems,
told Aunt Nancy.”
“But. Patricia, what was that you
said about people listening to tales
from servants, and talking to them’"
"Jimmie, you are horrid. It is dif
ferent wiih Aunt Nancy. She is—”
"A dear, as I have always main
tained." interrupted Jimmie "But
come. Patricia. Aren't you going to
accept me this time?"
“No. I am not. Oh. Jimmie. It is cne
o'clock- Please go."
"I will not until you promise to be
my wife. Patricia." and. rising quickly.
Brent crossed to Patricia, who also
had risen. He took her in his arms.
P tricla attempted to free herself.
“Promise me. Patricia, that you will
be my wife." coaxed Jimmie, gently,
but there was underneath it all a
stern tone that Implied that the maa
would brook delay no longer.
"Will you go at once if I do prom
ise ?"
'i'll go In five minutes. 1 want to
tell you something first. Is it a bar

Yes. Jimmie. i wui marry you.

spoke. “Patricia. I am the main pa-t

Inventor of Diving Armor
Part* of Hia Device That Have Not
Been Improved Upon From
the Flrsi.
Among pioneer Inventors to whom j
the diving dress In Its present per >
fected form owe* so mueh was Wtl- ,
llarn Haunts Taylor. The previous tut
or miss attempts were superseded b' j
the Taylor patent of June 20. 1S38, In j
which the essential feature was the
valve allowing the emission of con
sumed air without an Influx of water.
Previous to this time, the Scientific
American ways, there had been the
diving chests and the diving bell, of
which the latter. Introduced by Smea
ton In 1778. was the safest and most
practical device for submarine ex
ploration. The diving bell has been
developed alongside of the diving
dresa and Is still In use.
The general appearance of Taylor's
diving armor was like that of a knight's
suit of mall, except for a prominent
bulge In the body piece. A Urge pipe
coming down from the surface and
penetrating the body piece at the
bulge supplied the t.-esh air. while a
short pipe entered the body piece on
the other side, and was provided with
a valve which carried ofr the'exhaust
Although diving armor has now
reached its perfected state this valve
has never been materially Improved
upon.
Appreciative Irishman.
The English travelers complain that
they are so much hurried In our
hotels and so little in our stage
coaches. An Irish traveler took a dif- [
ferent view of the case. Honest Pat 1
came in at one o'clock, and was
called up In a half an hour. -And
what will ye charge for the lodging?
"Twenty-Bve cents.” was the reply
"An sure *twa kind of ye to call nia
so airly; If I'd slept until the morn
ing. I’d not had the money to pay the
bill!
