"without calling la these horrid men
with their subs?" she began, plunging
desperately into the midst of things.
A mere shadow of a grin smile came
and went in the Rajah's eyes.
- "Aa unprejudiced outsideh .might
say that the 'horrid men with their
guns were on top of that embank
ment, my deah ten to ouh one," he
remarked. "It was the first time I
even saw Misteh Deck -it show the
white fealheh."
"But I should think we might win
In some other way. What is it you
want to do? specifically, I mean.
Make me your ally and see if I can't
help you."
Mr. Darrah pushed his plate aside
and cleared his throat.
"For business reasons which you
ah wouldn't undehstand we can't let
the Utah finish this railroad of theirs
into Carbonate this winteh."
"So much I have inferred. But Mr.
Winton seems to be very determined."
"Mmph! I wish Mr. Callowell bad
favehed us with someone else any
one else. That young fellow is a bawn
lighten, my deah.'l
"You mean that another man might
make it easier for you?"
"I mean that anotheh man would
probably dally along with ouh help
till the snows come."
Virginia had a bright idea, and she
advanced it without examining too
closely into its ethical part.
"Mr. Winton is working for wages,
isn't he?" she asked.
"Of cou'se; big money, at that. His
sawt come high."
"Well, why can't you hire him away
from the other people. Mr. Callowell
might not be so fortunate next time.
And it wouldn't be dishonorable in
Mr. Winton to resign and take a bet
ter place, would it?"
The Rajah sat back in his chair and
regarded her thoughtfully. Then a
slow smile twitched the huge mus
taches and worked its way up to the
fierce eyeE.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Nothing, my deah nothing at all.
I was just wondering how a woman's
ah sense of propo'tions was put to
getheh. But your plan h:is merit. Do
I understand that you will faveh me
with your help?"
- "Why, ye-yes, certainly, if I can."
she assenteu, not without dubiety.
That is, I'll be nice to Mr. Winton,
if that is what you mean."
The saying of it cost her a blush
and Mr. Darrah remarked it. But he
did not give her time to retract.
"That is precisely what I mean, ray
deah. We'll begin by having him
heah to dinneh this evening, him and
the otheh . -:ung man what's his
name? Adams."
"But. uncle," she began, in hesitant
protest, "what ever will he think!"
"Xeveh mind what he thinks. You
faveh me, my deah Virginia, by send
ing him a right pretty invitation. You
know how to do those things, and I
, why, bless my soul I've quite for
gotten." Virginia found pen. ink and paper,
something doubting doubting a great
deal, if tha truth were told but not
knowing how to go about refusing a
confederacy which she herself had
proposed.
And the upshot of the matter was a
dainty note which found its way by
the hands of the private car porter
to Wiuton, laboring manfully at his
task of repairing the landslide dam
ages: this in the middle of the after
noon, after the sheriffs train had gone
buck to Carbonate and all opposition
seemed to have been withdrawn.
"Mr. Somerville Darrah's compliments to
Mr. John Winton and Mr. Morton P.
J d:ms and he will be pleased If they will
dine with the party in the car Rosemary
at t-even o'clock.
"Informal.
Wednesday December the Ninth."
CHAPTER VIII.
Adams said "By Jove!" in his most
cynical drawl when Winton gave him
the dinner-bidding to read; then he
laughed.
Winton recovered the dainty note,
folding it carefully and putting it in
his pocket, -he hana'xriting was the
same as that of the telegram abstract
ed from Operator Carter's sending
book.
"I don't see anything to laugh at,"
ne objected, in the tone of one who
does not mean to see.
"No? You must be in fathoms deep
not to be able to multiply such a very
evident twice two. First the Rajah
sends, the sheriffs posse packing with
out striking a blow, and now he in
vites us to dinner. What's the infer
ence?" "Oh, I don't know as there has to
be an inference. Let us say he has
seen the error of his way and means
to come down gracefully.'
"Don't yon believe it! Beware of
the Greeks bringing gifts. You are
going to be nit right where you liva
this time."
Winton growled hi? disapproval of
any such uncharitable hypothesis.
"You make me exceedingly tired at
odd moments, Morty. Why can't you
give Mr. Darrah tae credit of being
what he really is at bottom a right
hearted Virginia gentleman of the old
school?"
. "Ye gods and little minnows!
x worse and hore of it! You don't
saeaa that you are going to accept!"
said Adams, aghast
"Certainly; and so -are you. We

'this God-forsaken wilderness without

' There was so more to be said, and
the technologian held his peace while
Wiatoa scribbled a line of acceptance
m a 'leaf of his aote-book and sent it
across to the Rosemary by the hand
of the uter hoy. But in the evening,
as they were setting out from the con
structioa camp to walk up the track to
Argentine, he made a final effort to
call a halt '

"Jack, this Is worse than Idiotic
he protested. "There is that consign
ment of steel you were wiring about
to-day; one of us ought to go down
to the Junction to see if it is ready to
be shoved to the front."
"Bother the steel." was the impa
tient rejojinder. "Drayton wired It
wouid be there, didn't he? Come on,
we shall be late."
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mau," quoted Adams under
his breath; but he mac no more diffi
culties. Their reception at the steps of the
Rosemary was a generous proof of the
aptness of that aphorism which sums
up the status post bellum in the terse
phrase: "After war, peace." Mr. Dar
rah met them; was evidently waiting
for them; and was as heartily hos
pitable as a master of men can be
when he puts his entire mind to "it
"Come in, gentlemen; come in and
be at home" this with a hand for
each. "Virginia allowed you wouldn't
faveh us, but I assured her she didn't
rightly know men of the world; told
her that a picayune business affair in
whicn we are all acting as corpora
tion proxies needn't spell out anything
like a blood feud between gentlemen.
Straight ahead, Misteh Winton; afteh
you, Misteh Adams."
Such was the auspicious beginning
of an evening which Winton thought
worthy to be marked in his calendar
with a white stone.
The dinner was a gastronomical
marvel, considering its remoteness
from the nearest base of supplies; the
"MAY I HOPE YOU WILL. FAVOR US OFTEN?"
Rajah laid aside his mask of fierce
ness and beamed hospitality; Mrs.
Carteret vras innocuously gracious;
Bessie of the flaxen hair and the Rev
erend William Calvert came in har
moniously on the cheerful refrain;
and Virginia but it was Virginia wto
filled all hor.zons for Winton.
Knowing no more than any serious
minded man the latest social niceties
of a dinner party, and caring still less
for them, he monopolized her shame
lessly frcm the moment of greeting.
In the interval of plate laying he ma
neuvered skillfully to obtain posses
sion of the tete-atete chair, and with
that convenient piece of furniture for
an aid he managed to keep Virginia
wholly to himself un . dinner was
announced.
For another man the informal table
gathering might have been easily pro
hibitive of confidence a deux, even
with a Virginia Careteret to help, but
Winton was far above the trammel
ings of time and place. All attempts
on the part ci his host, Mrs. Martha,
Adams, or the Reverend Billy to en
tangle him in the general table talk
failed signally. He had eyes and ears
only for the sweet-faced, low-voiced
young woman beside him, and some
of his replies to the others were ir
relevant enough to send a smile
around the board.
"How very absent-minded Mr. Win
ton seems to be this evening," mur
mured Bessie from her niche between
Adams and the Reverend Billy at the
farther end of the taDle. "He isn't
quite at his best, is he, Mr. Adams?"
"No, indeed," said the technologian,
matenmg her undertone, "very far
from it. He has been a wit off all day;
touch of mountain fever. I'm afraid."
"But he doesn't look at all 111." ob
jected Miss Bessie. "I chould say he
is a perfect picture of rude health."
"You can't tell anytaing about him
by his looks," rejoined Adams,s-glibly.
"Absolute mask that face of his.
But between us, don't you know, I
think h: must be going to have a
fever. Struck him all at once about
three o'clock this afternoon, and I

Thus Mr. Morton P. . Adams, ia
irony far too subtle for the flaxea
haired .Bessie. But Winton's replies
were aot specially irrelevant when Vir
ginia evoked them. On the contrary,
he was finding her sallies keenly pro
vocative of. what wit and readiaess
there was in him.
"I believe your chief delight In life
is to catch a man napping." he
laughed, when she had succeeded la
demonstrating, for the third time la
as many minutes, how inadequate a
man's wit is to cope with a woman's.
"I do enjoy it," she confessed, with
the brown eyes conflrmiag the ad
mission. "What woman does not?
Isn't your nan's attitude towards as
one of thinly veiled contempt at the
very best? For instance: you said
just now that while no woman could
do without a man, the reverse was
true of the man."
"I didn't know I said anything like
that. If I did, ft was heresy."
"No; it was one of those little lapses
into sincerity which a man permits
himself on rare occasions, when he
isn't flattering. You really believe it,
you know you do."
"Do I? It wouldn't be polite to .con
tradict you. But what I said, or tried
to say, was that a man could exist,
as Adams and I are existing at pres
ent, without feminine oversight"
"But what you meant was the oth
er," she insisted "that we are not
necessary to you, while you are neces
sary to us." Then, reverting to the
matter of mere existence: "Could you
keep it up indefinitely, Mr. Winton."
"Isn't our being here this evening
proof positive to the contrary?"
"She smiled approval. "You are do-
ing better much better. With a little
practice you are sadly out of practice,
aren't you? I do believe you could
pay one a pretty compliment."
Winton rose maatully to his oppor
tunity. "No one could pay you compliments,
Miss Virginia. It would oe utterly im
possible." "Why? -csuse my chief delight xln
life is to catch a man napping?"
"Oh, no. Because the prettiest
things that could be said of you would
be only an awkward mirroring of the
truth."
"Dear me how fine!" she applaud
ed. "I am afraid you have been read
ing 'Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His
Son' very recently. Confess, now;
haven't you?"
Winton laughed.
"You do Lord Chesterfield a very
great Injustice; I cribbed that from
'The Indiscretions of a Marchioness,' "
he retorted.
Here was another new experience
for Miss Virginia arteret: to have
the trodden worm turn; to be paid
back in her own coin. She liked him
rather better for It; and, liking him,
proceeded to punish him, woman- lse.
The coffee was served, and Mrs. Car
teret was rising. Whereupon Miss
Virginia handed her cup to the techno
logian, and so had him for her com
panion in tue tete-a-tete chair, leav
ing Winton to shift for himself.
The shifting process carried him
over to the Rajah and the Reverend
Billy, to a small table in a corner of
the compartment, and the enjoyment
of a mild cigar and such desultory
racketing of the ball of conversation
as three men, each more or less in
tent upon his otto concerns, may keep
up. ,
Later, when Calvert had been elim
inated by Miss Bessie. Winton looked

There's millions in it
The man or womaa who conceives
an' idea that Is patentable almost in
variably has visions of Immense
wealth, but how often the dream is
realised may.be found bjr consulting
the patent office authorities, the men
who handle thousands and thousands
of these "children of the brain" that
never bring to their inventors even
the amount of money necessary for
getting them patented. But on the
other hand, there are a great many
patents that have made their origin
ators Immensely wealthy, and famous
as well. "
One would naturally suppose that
the greatest returns would be from
the large affairs, such as- the electric
railroad, the telephone and the tele
graph, but such is not the case, for the
small household inventions, mechani
cal toys and puzzles have given quick
er returns and greater profits for the
money expended than any of the lar
ger affairs.
At some time or another in life ev
erybody has turned his mind to get
ting out a patent, and the usual cry
has been, when one man succeeded in
amassing a fortune, that he had luck.
Luck never enters Into the patent
business, except in so far as one in
vents something at the time that
something is wanted by the buying
public. The man who invented "Pigs
in Clover" happened to strike the
public fancy, and millions of people
all over the country were chasing the
little marbles Into the middle pen.
That man made millions on his simple
puzzle because he launched it at the
right time.
Inventors Do Not All Die Poor.
The rewards gained by inventions
in the past 50 years have been far in
excess of those that accrued to the
earlier inventor, although the general
public has believed that the great ma
jority of inventors either die in the
poorhouse or the insane asylum. This
impression' was due partly to the fact
that Whitney, who invented the cot
ton gin; Goodyear, who first vulcan
ized rubber, and Morse, the father of
the telegraph, all died poor, and de
rived no benefits from their inven
tions. Naturally, when a great invention is
put upon the market the Inventor Is
exploited in all the newspapers and
magazines, but when some little trifle
is brought out there is hardly any no
tice taken of the man' himself or what
he has given to the world, but it is
just such little things that have been,
if not the source, the start of great
fortunes.
J. W. McGill in 1867 Invented the
little metal paper fastener without
which no office is now considered
complete, and though but a trifle it
made wealth for its inventor. Such a
little thing as the rubber tip on a
pencil brought $200,000 to its inventor,
Hymen fy Lipman, and that small
piece of metal which you wear on the
heel of your shoe to protect it had
made up to 1887 over $1,000,000 for

but it made him a millionaire.

It must not be thought from this
that the field of invention is occupied
entirely by man,' for It is not Woman
has entered into competition with him
in this field, also, and some of her pa
tents have been as useful and as good
money-makers as. those belonging to
the sterner' sex. Inventions by women
cover all. the branches of life, and,
strange to say, quite as many patents
are granted them for Improved ma
chinery as for articles of woman's
wear.
The first patent ever granted to a
woman in the United States was for
a machine for the weaving of straw
with silk or thread, and this was pa
tented in 1809 by Mary Kies. Mary
Jane Montgomery invented the mow
ing machine, and in 1866 she took out
a patent on a machine for punching
holes in corrugated metal. Her many
inventions netted her a considerable
fortune, as fortunes went in those
days. A woman in California made
over $50,000 from her invention of the
baby carriage, and a woman in Wash
ington, Mrs. Johnson, made a good
thing out of the invention of the ice
cream freezer, for before that time all
cream was stirred with a spoon until
it was frozen.
Criminals as Great Inventors.
Criminals have played an important
part in some of the world's greatest
inventions, and some have made small
fortunes out of their discoveries.

From time to time he used a great

A German manufacturer of aitro
tglycerin was the inventor of dynamite,
but was not' seeking for it at thetlme
he received proof of its explosive qual

will not explode, but will burn rather
with a steady flame, when fire is ap
plied. Oae day the manufacturer
spilled some of the stuff oa the floor,
and a little later dropped a lighted
match in the same place. The explos
ion which followed was astonishing
and quite a little disconcerting, but he
had discovered dynamite, and his for
tune was made. While nitroglycerin

Edison and the Phonograph.
The greatest of our inventors,
Thomas A. Edison, owes his invention
of the phonograph partly to an acci
dent Edison had been working night
and day to perfect the telephone, and
had constructed a number of small
sheepskin drumheads, to test their
value as diaphragms as compared with
metal and other substances. To some
of these sheepskin diaphragms he had
attached a magnetic needle which was
intended to project toward the magnet
and assist in conveying the vibration
caused by the human voice.
These did not fulfill Edison's expec
tations, and were discarded as useless
His assistants soon discovered that
by holding the drumheads close to the
mouth and making a guttural sound, a
noise approaching music could be se
cured, much the same as when a piece
of paper is wrapped around a comb.
In attempting to playfully stop one 6l
the men from playing on it Edison
touched the little needle, but no soon
er had he done so than he gave one
of his characteristic starts and re
quested the operator to repeat the per
formance. It was repeated, and again
lie touched the needle, with evident
delight. He went among his assist
ants, asking them to hum.- sing and
talk against the little drumhead, he
keeping his finger ever so lightly oa
the little needle.
"I have it!" he suddenly exclaimed,
and retreated to his office and com
menced drawing diagrams for new ma
chinery, which his assistants speedily
made, and a few days later the first
phonograph was put together. It was
a crude affair, the pin making an im
pression on wax. It talked imperfect
ly, but it showed Edison that he was
on the right track, and he rapidly im
proved it, until now it is almost per
fection. The phonograph was at first
regarded as a mere toy, but later it
was sold for $1,000,000.
Millions in Air-Brake.
sThe inventor of the air-brake,
George Westinghousc is one of the
best known inventors of the present
day, but it was a long time before he
could get any moneyed men interested
enough in his air-brake to back him.

McKee Rankin regretted was that
when Westinghouse offered him a half

did not accept it This invention net

The strangest of all statues seems
the one in Luneburg. a little town ol
Hanover. The pig who was the orig
inal of the statue was the discoverei
of a salt mine which greatly en
riched the town. While rooting ia
the earth, Mr. Pig accidentally made
his important discovery. Not know
ing if nigs like salt as much as
they do dirt, It is difficult to say
whether this pig was pleased or aot,
but the citizens of Luneburg thought
his achievement great enough to de
serve a monument It consists of a
block of granite on which rests a cof
fin of crystal. In this reposes the
body of the pig. The Inscription on
the monument is as follows:
"The passerby here looks upon tha
remains of a pig who acquired im

To have the manners of the well-:
bred womea, to move about with grace
and dignity, to know poise, character,
honesty and deep sympathy, these are
the finer lines of beautifying. Who
cares a cent for the dolly woman who

sense enough to draw her breath?
Such womenare not after the right
idea, and true beauty will never place
its golden halo on their heads. Per
sonal magnetism makes womea beau
tiful, and what is that but the free
workings of a genuinely lovdy spirit?:
Perfume the inside of your head with'
tender thoughts, keep your body
strong, well aad clean, make up your
mind to learn -everything you can. and
if you do not look beautiful yon will
be so aad that will suffice.

camphor In each. It will in this way
retain its brightness indefinitely.
