The social clliublnic Mrs. Hogg wns
Lcnrtbrokcn. The clever "second story
worker" who hod visited so nmny resi
dences of. tho wealthy tlmt the list
might be tlmt of the social register had
for somu reason forgot to call upon
tho Hoggs. There wasn't nnotlicr homo
la Tylervlllo that contained so hmny
costly furnishings, silver nml Jewelry
particularly Jewelry and yet Mrs.
Hogg was denied a share of the lime
light with tho aristocracy.
"It ain't as If wo ain't got nothing,
yiilnens," sho sobbed, her many dla
jnonds Hashing In the morning sun as
Khc poured tho coffee. "There's tho
Joneses, and "
"Stop right there i" exclaimed Mr.
Hogg Irritably. "Ain't I done, all I
an? Ain't I gone all over this house
every night and opened the windows7
Why, last night I even left the front
door half open, and did any burglar
come In? Did he, I ask you? No I" ho
continued, answering his own question.
What else he might have said will
never be known, as the butler entered
at tlmt moment, atid If there wns any
ono of whom ho stood In awe It was
Henry tho butler.
Success had come to tho Hoggs Into
in life, and while Mr. Hogg was In
clined to lie bad: and take things
asy, Mrs. Hogg was happy only when
she was "among these present." But
I'hlncas was a good sport and under
Iier constant urge bo ran her a pretty
good second In their chase for social
recognition. Ho alllllated hlmelf with
every club and every social affair sho
suggested, and gave her every blessed
thing she wanted but there; pause
a moment.
There is ono thing In which he had
failed. Mrs. Hogg told him, In tlmt
heart touching, sobbing way of hers,
tlmt the Powells and Jlentons hnd a
family tree, and she didn't have one.
"Never mind, Lucy." be said sooth
ingly, "we got money enough to get n
front law full of them!" So you see,
dear reader, Ids heart was In the right
place. '
Away from the eyes of Henry, they
Visaed In parting at the door.
"Cheer up, dear," said rhlnens en
couragingly, "we'll be robbed yet." And
Lucy junllod faintly In hope and partly
boenuso Mrs. Powell, across the street,
wns looking on. Pldneas waved his
cane airily as he entered bis motor,
for tho same reasons that L'ucy smiled,
and ho was off.
Arriving at his ollice lie Immediate
ly rang for his secretary.
"Mr. Dngget," said he, In his cuto
little pompous way, "do you know nny
good 'porch climber'? I menn, are you
acquainted with any good crook? I
mean what I that Is" Plainly,
I'hlnens was confused.
Mr. Dngget doesn't know yet what
his employer meant, but be was glad
to get out of his sight, and for the
rest of tlto day he went about on tip
too with .a moist handkerchief In his
liatid, and a glassy look In his eyes.
Now) while- tho Hoggs valued the no
toriety of u burglary, let It bo known
tlmt there was about .fllO.OlX) worth of
jewelry, which was carefully concealed
every night, that they had no Inten

toud crash sounded through tho housej
and while they looked at each other,
first In surprise and then In Joy, that
vras.h was followed by another.
"A burglar! A robber!" Mr. Hogg
shouted enthusiastically, rushing out
into tlie hull, Mrs. Hogg close In his
wake.
Snapping on the lights In descent,
tliey arrived upon the scene at tho
moment the policeman had subdued
his prisoner. Subdued doesn't convey
tlie picture at all; ho wns worse than
tlmt, and as he stood there In tlie light,
It Is no wonder recognition was de

"Why, It's Henry!" he exclaimed In

Ho was right. He was the butler.

that tho burglar had been frightened

IN CUTTING DIAMONDS
Peculiar Propertleo of the Preclofo
1 Gem Must Bo Tiiorouahly Under
otood by the Lapidary.
A diamond cutter, writing for the
London Mall, relates some Interesting
fncls as to forms Into which diamonds
I
I
ate- cut to enhance their luster. A
diamond Is tho hnrdest substnnco In
nature and cunnot oven bo scratched
except with another diamond, while
somo stones can bo cut only with their
own powder.
I
Yet the hnrdest of all can bo cleft
by a heavy blow delivered In tho right
direction; that Is, parallel to the faces
of the eight sides which Its erystnl
shows. It Is this property that permits
the very largo stones, such as the "Oil
llnan" diamond, to bo worked.
In spite of this, n diamond linn the
Blmplcst composition of all precious
stones, for it Is only crystnllzcd car
bon, nnd a near relation to ordinary
grnphlte, usunlly cnlled "blncklead."
Hut It has been, formed by enormous
pressure In the remotest depths of tho
earth's crust, and probably forced to
ward tho surfaco by steam.
The prlnclpnl forma Into which n
diamond Is cut arc:
Urllliants, with an octagonal faco
surrounded by many smaller facets.
Icoso diamonds, with n lint base",
above which are two rows of triangu
lar facets, the uppermost terminating
In n point.
Table diamonds, which are thin
stones cut with triangular facets.
What makes the diamond so pre
cious is the presence of Inward "lire"
tho mysterious gleams of blue and red
that change with every movement, nnd
which makes such an appeal to our
sense of beauty.
The charm of precious stones lies
in their brllllnncy and luster, tho In
tensity of tho latter depending upon
tho polish of tho surface; for If tho
stone Is dull or uneven tlto light Is
scattered and not reflected.
Tho only stones at all approaching
It arc zircon and tho green garnet
called "olivine." Tho luster of all
other stones Is vitreous, such as seen
on the surfnre of broken glass. And
the third type Is that shown by resins.
In order to bring out the full beauty
of a stono It must bo cut In such n
way that the facets reveal Its splen
dor, and the art of the lapidary rests
upon his knowledge of what becomes
of tho light when It fnlls upon tho
stone; so he must understand the laws
of reflection and refraction.
When n while light Is refracted Into
u colorless stone It changes and Is spilt
up Into n spectrum. Since tho refrac
tive Index Increases progressively as
tho wavelength of tho light decreases,
a normnl spectrum Is violet nt one end
and passes through green and yellow
to red at the other end; for Instanco,
In the familiar rainbow. Tho width of
the spectrum also varies, nnd It Is
this "dispersion" tlmt determines tho
"Arc."
It wo.ild bo dlfllcult to name any
substance around .which has been
woven such n web of romnnce.
Safety Deposit Free.
The story comes from Scottsburg
and It shows nil the shrewd persons
nro not In tho large centers of popu
lation. A stranger of ordinary up
poaranco nnd apparently of mnderuto
means wnlked Into the bank nnd
asked to borrow 5. He was told the
bank did not loan such smnll sums,
but when he Insisted tlint the business
of a bank was to loan money, that he
needed the sum mentioned, and that
he had good collateral, the noto was
made' out, tho banker regarding it as
a good Joke. Then tho stranger
pulled out $10,000 worth of Liberty
bonds ns collateral and left them, re
marking that at another bank they
had wished to clmrgo him ?5 for u
safety deposit box to keep them in,
but now the bank would keep them for
him free, nnd he would have tlie bank's

took up a pen, uud, selecting n sheet
.of paper, began hqr answer:
;My Own Dearest:

She put away the letters and, folding
tho one she had written, addressed an
envelope, slipped It inside, uud carried
It to tlie letter-box at the comer. And
nil the rest of that day sho moved
nbout within the house, happy ,ln the
.thought of what the evening would

gone t-lio put on her hat' and made tier
,vny out of the house toward tho sta

slipped her arm through Iris and they
stnrted up the hill together.
"I've been reproaching myself nil

you of' late, Alice," he said.
"Never mind, Jim." I knew you were
worried. You you're sure you lovo
me as much as over?" -
"What a question, sweetheart!" He
laughed, and there was a little pause.
"Jim, dear, will you think me awfully
wicked If I confess something to you?"
"Out v. 1th It !" he lnughed. "I've for

"Ah, but It's terrible," sho cried.

Treoo That Tell the Soil Moisture.
An Interesting possibility was
brought out by Dr. Sam F. Treleaso
of Johns Hopkins university In his
paper before tho pliyslologlcal section
of the notunlcnl Society of America.
He pointed out that tho leaflets of tho
coconut, bnnnnn nnd ninnllla trees
folded along their midribs during tho
hotter and dried periods of tho day,
or longer periods, and opened ngaln
nt night, nnd during moisture periods
especially very soon after a fall of

This was shown to bo duo to tho
swelling or shrinking of two strips of
tissue nlong tho midrib which act as

Familiar to the readers of Illdcr

Their riches consist In the number

hundreds of miles every year In seurch
of water and pasturage for their cut

and, ns they never ctiltlvnto any crops,
they neither plant nor reap.
At one tltnu they were greatly
dreaded for their warlike prowess.
Nowadays, however, they conllno them
selves to raiding, cattle-thlovlng, and
bickering among themselves over water

the animals.

new wing Is built with the object of
increasing the lifting povo,r of ma

satisfactory. An airplane fitted with
the new wing, seen from a distance,
looks like n huge seagull with wing
tips depressed. Instead of two rigid,
horizontal straight planes, n single

manufacture of the wing. Its surface
Is of mahogany veneer, thus making
