Capitulation of Celia
ID I tell you that I had asked
| auntie to coine here. Leu ? "
'No , you certainly did not , '
replied Leouard Vancourt , his foreheac
lowering into a frowu , as hjj helped
himself to a second piece of toast
"Might I inquire which of the two is
going to afford us the delirious delight
of her presence Clarissa , the satur
nine , or Amelia , the magpie imitator ? "
"Lcn ! " The delicately traced eye
brows were raised in Indignant ex
postulation. "I think that it is par
ticularly unkind of you to speak in
that manner of my relations. You
used to say that Aunt Amelia was a
shrewd business woman. "
"I would be the last to deny her
that qualification , Celia , " remarked
Vancourt , grimly , "it was positively
a stroke of genius the way tbe old
reptile ahem lady palmed off on to
me that property in Soutbwark. Fif
teen bouses , uiy dear , with only rudi
mentary drainage and a hungry Coun
ty Council waiting on me to render
the same effective. Aunt Amelia
ought to have been a company pro
moter. Egad ! she would have made
her fortune at tbe game , my respected
aunt-in-law lias it In her bones
Where is tbe Daily Express ? "
Celia's lips commenced to quiver.
"I think that you are horrid , Len , "
she vouchsafed at length , glancing re
proachfully at her husband , who sud
denly became immersed in the money
market column of the paper wbicb he
had discovered under the table.
. "I must say that I think you arc
particularly unkind to speak of my
relations in tbe way you always do !
You should not forget , dear , tbat Aunt
Clarissa lias been more than a mother
t
to me , and brought me up since I was
a tiny tot ; the Orst time you ever met
me , Lcn , was at her bouse. "
"I know , " replied Vaucourt casu
ally. "But if it hadn't been for Gus
*
Harrington taking nie to Rutland
Gate I should never bave seen either
of you. I remember tbe evening well.
I took an instinctive dislike to your
respected , more than a mother of an
aunt ! A feeling incidentally wbicb
has intensified ever since. "
"You used to say tbat you were very
fond of her before we were married ,
Len. "
Vancourt coughed , dryly.
"I was diplomatic , Celia , " be said ,
quietly , as , laying aside bis paper , be
buttered a piece of toast. "You see ,
as I could only see you in her bouse ,
I was obliged , in a sort of way , to bold
tbe candle to the your aunt. "
"She was very fond of you , Len. "
Celia Vancourt's eyes were bent re
proachfully on bis.
"Ahem ! Tbat was very kind of
her , -dear. You see , Celia , I had
shekels ; In London society I was
considered rather a decent match at
the time I married you. " His accent
was irritatingly sardonic.
"Do you mean to insinuate tbat Aunt
Clarissa liked you because you were
well off and bad a bouse in Park
Lane ? " demanded Celia , her face flush
ing an angry pink.
"Aunt Amelia did , anyway , " smiled
Vancourt unfeelingly. "My spare
cash made her Southwark property
boom in a manner which brought a
smile to her face ! She bad me on
toast , Celia , "
She rapped her knife impatiently on
the immaculate damask. "Leonard , "
she remarked , with dignity , "I would
have you remember that you are
speaking of my relations. "
"I have no desire to rob you of their
ownership , dear , " remarked Vancourt ;
then added , as be commenced bis
breakfast in real earnest , "I wish to
goodness that you would manage to see
tbat we get bacon for breakfast tbat
is not salty enough to skin the inside
of one's mouth. I don't believe tbat
the tradesmen would dare to sell such
abominable meat to anybody else but
us. "
Celia's face grew tearful looking , as
she poured herself out a cup of tea ;
then , glancing across tbe table at
tbe sombrely annoyed features of her
husband , said , irritably :
"I never met sucb a growling man
as you are in my life ! Tbe moment
anything puts you out you quarrel
with your food. Goodness knows , I
am fanciful enough , but I don't find
this bacon a bit salty. "
"Of course notl It is quite sufficient
for me to say that It is for you to
declare the contrary , " said Vancourt ,
angrily. "I never met such a contra
dictory woman as you are in tbe whole
course of my existence. I am just
about sick of it ! "
"And I aui tired to death of you and
your grumbling , " retorted Celia. flush
ing with anger. "Everything tbat I
do is wrong. I can't make out what
on earth made you marry me ! "
"Because I was a victim of the
throes of drivel * : : ? lunacy , that's why , ' '
said Vancourt fciiv.igely. "I wish now
that I bad never set eyes on you. Why ,
ever since my marriage I bave never
known what it Is to bave a decent
breakfast If I don't get a high egg
I get salt bacon winch a sailor would
kick at , and if I get neither of those
two things I bave a piece of fish which
would disgrace an East End cook shop

He sniffed Indignantly , as , turning

ed paper and flattening it out angrily ,
commenced to read Its contents.
"Very well , Leonard , " said Celia ,

"Slnoe Yjou are as
to have ever come across you I will
ask Aunt Clarissa when she comes
here "
"I tell you she isn't coming here ! "
Interrupted Vancourt peremptorily. " 1
won't have tbe old cat in the bouse
so there ! I'm master here , kindly re
member. "
"And I am mistress ! " retorted Celia.
"So Aunt Clarissa shall come and "
"What ? "
"And when she does I I shall tell
her tbat how unkind you are and
and ask her to take me away , " con
tinued Celia in a faltering voice , un
heeding his interruption. "I I never
want to sec you again I bate you ! "
"Ob , very well , then. " Vancourt rose
with as much dignity as be could as
sume. "As sucb is tbe case , and since
I am not allowed to be master of my
own house , we had better separate
amicably. I , for one , shall be very
pleased to be freed from a nagging
woman ! "
"And I , from a brute ! "
"That is a question of opinion , " re
marked Vancourt easily. "I bave been
asked by Carstairs to go for a cruise ,
and as bis yacht leaves Southampton
the day after to-morrow I may as well
go with him until I bave decided what
1 will do. Of course , I shall leave you
tbe house I will clear out. " He crossed
tbe room to the door , adding , as be
opened it , "There will be enough mon
ey paid into your account to satisfy
your requirements. " Then , without
awaiting a reply , be closed the door
behind him , Celia gazing half discon
solately , half defiantly , at the vacant
chair on tbe other side of the table.
Vancourt had not been gone long be
fore be returned , dressed in faultless
style , a Raglan over his arm and a
bowler in bis band.
"Well , I'll say good-by , " be said
lightly , extending his hand to his wife.
I've told Job to pack up my duds
and to bring them to me at tbe Carl-
ton. I shall be stopping there till to
morrow morning , when I shall leave
for Southampton. "
"I see. "
"We shall be cruising about the
Mediterranean for about two months , "
he continued , eyeing bis wife covertly
as he spoke. "After which I may go
to South Africa for a few months to
do some big game shooting. "
"You wiil enjoy yourself , I hope , "
said Celia , placing her slim hand in
his. "Of course , if we ever meet in
society we need not be dead cuts , need
we , Leonard ? "
Her deep blue eyes were raised al
most wistfully to his.
"Of course not , " he said with a
strained laugh , as , pressing her cold
hand in his , be went toward tbe door.
"Addio , little woman , it is a pity that
we should go pur several ways , don't
you think so ? "
"Yes , it is. Good-by. " Her voice
faded away into a whisper , adding
quaveriugly to herself as tbe door
closed behind her husband , "he might
have kissed me before he went. 1
don't think that he minded leaving
me and I I oh , I don't care ! " she
cried angrily , dashing away the tears
which bad gathered on her lashes. "If
be bad tried to kiss me , I'd have
slapped his face for him ! I hate-
Leonard , and now that I am free I
shall be as happy as "
The harsh clang of the hall door
below caused her to stop abruptly.
For a moment Celia stood silent , then ,
sinking into a sofa , she buried her
fluffy bead amid a bevy of cushions ,
and cried as if her heart would break.
"He's gone ! " she muttered in a
strangled voice , broken by sobs.
"And I made sure tbat be would
come back. "
Meanwhile , outside in the street ,
Leonard VaDconrt bailed a hansom ,
and , stepping into it , was soon bowl
ing in tbe direction of the Cbarlton.
"I am afraid tbat I have made a fool
of myself , " he soliloquized. "I made
sure tbat she would have stopped me
before I left tbe bouse ; of course , It's
all most unearthly rot to think for a
moment that I could live without my
little Celia. A day would be bad
enougb , but two months I have half
a mind to turn back and say that I
was only bluffing , only I should look"
sucb an ass if I did. I might bave
kissed her before I left , though ! Poor
little girlie , she half raised her face to
mine when I said good-by , and oh ,
I am going to chuck this fool's game
and shall toddle back , and she can
stodge me with high eggs and salt
bacon as much as she jolly well likes
if sbe will only take me on again.
Cabby , I "
His sentence was never finished ,
for , as be pushed open the trapdoor
above bis bead , tbe pole of a brewer's
dray crashed into tbe side of tbe han
som.

When Leonard Vaucourt came to bis
senses it was to find himself swathed
in bandages lying in bed in a darkened
and familiar room , while curled up be
side him on tbe immaculate counter
pane , sat Celia , her slim fingers cooling
bis fevered brow.
"Hullo , girlie ! " be exclaimed , with
i weak attempt at hilarity. "I haven't
gone after all. you see. "
"Are you sorry , Len , that such is not
the case ? " she queried gently , nestling
her tear-stained cheek.against his.
"Would you mind , dearest I mean

asked , slowly.
"Mind ! Oh , Len , you are the dearest

that you did not I just sat down and

"And I hoped that you would call me
back , Celia , " be said , delightedly. "And
when I found tbat you did not , girlie ,
I thought tbat I would just come back
and say that you might do any mortal

She passed her hand caressingly over
bis check.
"Call me girlie , " she whispered , hap
pily. "You know , dearest , how I bate

"I don't , " Vancourt replied , fondly.

NEW WAY TO KILL SNAKES.
Squirrels Have Devised a Method ot
Getting the Best of an Enemy.
A. new condition of animal life has
developed on Indian Island , in the
State of'Maine. As tbe Indians who
inhabit the island never kill anything
they do not eat , and as they eat
neither squirrels nor snakes , both of
these species bave multiplied greatly
of late years , and they bave become as
common as grasshoppers and as un
afraid of man.
It came about in this way : The natu
ral food of the large striped snake con
sists of insects with now and then a
plump frog or a toad for a holiday
feast. As the Indians do not kill
snakes unless they are very hungry
the reptiles increased so fast on tbe
island that all the frogs and toads and
most of tbe insects were exterminated ,
compelling tbe snakes to eat chipmunks
or starve.
They chose the chipmunks. Though
these small squirrels are found all over
tbe island , they are most plentiful in
the little cemetery at tbe south end.
The big striped snakes soon learned
where game was thickest and began to
make raids upon tbe undefended holes
of tbe squirrels , catching them by tbe
legs as they passed in and out , swallow
ing them whole as they do frogs.
For five or six years tbe struggle for
mastery between the chipmunks and
tbe snakes was a bard one.
The ratio between the two was decid
edly in favor of tbe snakes , and the
chipmunks were in a fair way to be
wiped out , when an inventive squirrel
discovered a way of killing the snakes
without fighting them.
While a snake will enter any bole In
the ground tbat is large enough to re
ceive its body , no snake has yet been
able to dig a bole for itself , and when
ever a snake is plugged inside of a hole
tbat snake remains where it is until it :
dies of starvation.
Somehow the chipmunks learned this
weak spot in tbe defense of snakes
and they began offensive operations.
Every day they went leaping among
the graves and snuffing at tbe holes to .
learn if there were snakes inside. As
t
soon as one was discovered the squirrels
carried earth in their cheek pouches
until tbe hole containing the snake was
filled with earth and beaten down level
with the grass.
They kept close watch for prying
snakes for two or three years in succes
sion , and last summer there was hardly
a large snake to be found on tbe isl
and , while the chipmunks had increas
ed so rapidly tbat they ate up many of
the growing crops upon which the In
dian depended for cash bounties from
tbe State.
In digging among the graves of their
ancestors to rid tbe Island from a pest
of chipmunks the Indians unearthed
hundreds of dead snakes which had
a
been buried alive by the squirrels. Then
the world was enlightened as to a new
way of killing snakes.
Last Barrier Gone.
"Henry , " said Mrs. Penhecker , "you
have not yet told me what good re
solve you have made for tbe new
year. "
"Why , my dear , " protested Henry ,
"you know that I have no small vices
or bad habits at all. Don't you know
that you have induced me to stop
swearing and smoking and drinking
and going out nights , and everything
else tbat I used to think that I wanted v
to do ? "
"Yes , love , " answered Mrs. Penheck
er , sweetly ; "but it sometimes seems
to me that you read tbe advertisements ,
s
of liquors and cigars with a sinful sat-
isfaction. It would be better for you , tl
spiritually , if you should sternly and
firmly resolve to shun them hereafter. "

A HUMAN BODY BAROMETER.
C/ittle Instrument Which Measures
Amount of Anivual Perspiration.
Hereafter the liuman body may be
brought within the observation of the
United States weather bureau. At
least Dr. Henry E. Weatberill , late
surgeon of the Peary arctic expedi
tion , and now surgeon in the Penn
sylvania naval reserve , bas invented
an instrument for taking the tempera
ture and barometric pressure of tbe
human body.
The novelty of the instrument lies in
the barometer , for , of course , ther
mometers bave been used for taking
the body temperature for many years.
It is thought that the instrument will
be very useful in diagnosis and in de
termining the progress of fevers and
all other diseases in which perspira
tion plays an important part.
-The intensity of a disease may often
be told by the amount of perspiration
tbat appears on tbe surface of tbe
body. It is thought tbat it will be
particularly useful in c .ses of sun
stroke , as it is important to know ac
curately tbe amount of latent heat re
tained beneath the skin. In describ
ing his invention Dr. Weatherill says :
"The instrument measures the per
spiration in relative humidity units
and tbe surface temperature withou4
pressure on tbe limbs. The thermonic
ter is attached to the body and the
temperature can be read immediately
uy the nurse.
"The humidity mechanism is a spiral
of very fine wire to which is attached
a silk membrane dipped in chloride of
cobalt and coated with gelatine. With
careful attention the instrument is cor
rect enough to "give some very inter
esting results , such as the dryness of
diabetics , the dryness that accompa
nies fever , and many other conditions. "
It is easy to suggest a variety of
usefulness for the human-body barom
eter. Taking the whole area of tbe
body and the number of humidity
units as indicated by tbe instrument ,
it would be possible to ascertain ex
actly how much perspiration a man
might exude in the course of a day ,
ind. after a certain standard had been
idopted a course of action could be
prescribed to keep him within bounds
Perspiration conies from the blood ,
[ t is the effort of the circulation to gel
L-id of an oversupply of moisture. So
in any of those diseases in wbicb tbe
circulation is impeded the effect would
be revealed in tbe latent supply of
moisture on the skin. Another use
ivould be the relation which the hu
midity of the bodj" bears to tbe hu
midity of tbe atmosphere. It is sug
gested , says the New York Times , thai
icrein may be found tbe clew to thai
particularly subtle sixth sense which
mbales some people to feel the approach
preach of a storm even when there is
is yet no cloud on tbe horizon.
The principal use to which it will
je put is determining the condition o
.he suustruck.

tainly are more attractive than all black

of lace are faggotted in , again squares

way. Some waists are entirely composed
of strips of silk two inches wide held to

it means lots of work to make such a
