Industry. ef IMS shows much. progress ia the beet-sugar iadustry ef the Uaked State, showiag 51 es taMishaeuts, agalast four fa 1880, says the Baltimore Sun. At present $55,92MSt. is invested In- beet-sugar production, aad the annual product is worth 24,3S3,74. Moat of the la creaae of plant and product has taken place since lflte. when the output was worth bat $7,323,857. Of the 2,175,417 teas of. beeta grown ia the ceaaaa year on 24,767 acres aad cost lag $1145,785. fisar-fifths were Brown by coatract by iadepeadent farmers. .The aagar factories do not grow their supply of beets to any large extent Granulated beet. sugar was produced .to the extent of 496.618.314 pounds. worth 123,49373. Other products were raw aagar. 11,223.607 pounds; molasses, 9.609.642 gallons, and pulp, worth S202.070. The leading states in beet sugar are Colorado, Michigan and California, the first producing $7,198. 982 worth of beet sugar, the second $5,378,004 worth and the third $4,415, 172 worth. California and Colorado irrigate the-land used to produce eets. In Utah a system of pipelines coanects slicing stations with the central factories. The beets from the neighboring country are received at these slicing stations, where the juice is extracted and treated with a com position of lime, after, which it is forced through the pipes to. the fac tories. . ' Hereditary Divorce. As a matter of fact, divorces run in families. The children of a di vorced mother are the likeliest them selves to contract alliances which the law will have to sever. There have been numerous instances of families of sisters or .brothers who have gone through the divorce courts in almost unbroken succession. This phenom enon sheds some light on the true pauses of divorce and. suggests that a very- large proportion of the separa tions which the law countenances are due not to an initial "fatal mistake" nor to complete "incompatibility." nor even to' the actual misdeeds of either party, but to mental and tempera meatal pecuUIarities. Not the insti tution of marriage is at fault, says Chicago Sun. not the mistaken union or -antipathetic personalities, but the human -nature of one party or the other to the compact Divorces are prevalent in certain families. So are incorrigible levity, disagreeable dis positions, unwillingness to abide the consequences of a deliberate act a deficient philosophy. Spice af Life in Maine Woods. The southeast corner of the state of Maine ia a happy remnant of the ancient wilderness. The railroads will carry you around It in a day, if you wish to' go that way, making' a big oval of 200 or 300 miles along the sea, aad by the banks' of the Penob scot the Mattawamkeag and the St Croix. But if you wisely wish to cross the oval, writes Henry Van Dyke, in Scrtbner's, you must ride, or go afoot or take to your canoe; prob ably you will- have to try all three methods of locomotion, for the coun try is a mixed quantity. It reminds me of what I once heard in Stock holmthat the Creator, when the making of the rest of the world was done, had a lot of fragments of land and water, forests and meadows, mountains aad valleys, lakes and moors, left over; and those he threw togther to make the southern part of Sweden. I like that kind of a pro miscuous country. The spice of life grows there. Though Elihu Root secretary of state, is a great lawyer and a success ful diplomat, the verbiage of the dip lomatic papers that bears his name is not his. As a lawyer of large prac tice he acquired the habit of direct ness aad iadsiveaess, which Is 111 suited to the ways and customs of diplomacy. Realizing this fully, ft was not long after Mr. Root assumed the duties of secretary of state that he discovered hat the safest coarse for him to pursue would be to have one of his assistants clothe in the formal and stilted language of diplo macy every communication of impor tance he had to make to a foreign power. Accordingly he has Assistant Secretary Adee who has been longer in the state department than any other high official there, compose these communications.

The Archduchess Maria Aaauaciatai the present abbess, who is a niece of the eaperor, has succeeded to the position of first lady through the widowhood of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife of the late Archduke' Otto. The noble nuns of Prague live a very differeat life from what ia the. usual conception of convent life. They play a leadiag part ia the society of the city and are not even compelled to live in the ab bey, where each is provided with two rooms and service. Handsome car riages with liveried servants are also provided for their use, and they have a box in the opera. Each noble lady la paid $500 a year, while the abbess has a salary of $10,000. When they attend court balls they must wear black evening dress with a ribbon of light blue. THE GRAtw "I HUNK PACIFIC RAIL ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA. Will Open Up Immense Area ef Free Homestead Lands. The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to the ut termost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to thexeastem markets aad the seaboard. The large influx of settlers and the additional areavpat tinder crop have added large ly to the grain product, aad notwith ataadiag the increased railway facil ities that have been placed at the dis posal of the public the question of transportation has proved to be a se rious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone Interested in Western Can ada to know that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail way will do its ahare towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas katchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing' a serious obstacle which' has faced the settlers during recent Tears. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Port age la Prairie to Edmonton In a prai rie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered ia eighteen days, Is eathusiastlc about the country. This will be gratifying to settlers ia the Canadian West even if Mr. Hays decllaea to be bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will he la a positioa to take part in the trans portation of the crop of 1907, aad that will be satisfactory to the settlers ia that country when the harvest ia gar nered. The wheat crop of 1106 ia Westera Caaada waa about 90.000.000 heahsU, aad. with the Increased acreage which la ceafideatly expected to be pat ua der crop next year. It la safely catea- asted that fatty 125.000J00 bushels win be harvested la 1907.

Whoa you leave I shall go straight on up to bed." . "I'd like to to see your room where you live," said I, more to my self than to her. "I sleep in a bare little box." she replied with a laugh. "It's like a cell. A friend of ours who has the anti-germ fad insisted on it But my sitting room isn't so bad." '"Langdon bas the anti-germ fad," said I. She answered "Yes," after a pause, and in such a strained voice that 1 looked at her. A flush was just dying out of her face" "He was the friend 1 spoke of," she went on. "You know him very well?" I asked. "We've known him always." said she. "I think he's one of my earliest recollections. His father's summer place and ours adjoin. And once 1 guess it's the first time I remember seeing him he was a freshman at Harvard, and he came along on a horse past the pony cart in which a groom was driving me. And 1 I waa very little then I begged him to take me upv and he did. 1 thought he was the greatest most wonderful maa that ever lived." She laughed queerly. "When I say my prayers, I used to imagine a god that looked like him to say them to." I echoed her laugh heartily. The idea of Mowbray Langdon as a god struck me as peculiarly funny, though natural enough, too. "Absurd, wasn't it?" said she. But her face was grave, and she let her cigarette die out "I guess you know him better than that now?" "Yes better," she answered, slowly and absently. "He's anything but a god!" "And the more fascinating on that account," said I. "I wonder why women like best the really bad. dan gerous sort of man, who hasn't any re spect for them, or for anything." I said this that she might protest, at least for herself. But her answer was a 'vague, musing, "I wonder I wonder." "I'm sure you wouldn't," I protested earnestly, for her. She looked at me queerly. "Can I never convince you that lm just a woman?" said she mockingly. "Just a woman, and one a man with your ideas of women would fly from.'" "I wish you were!" I exclaimed. "Then I'd find it so so impossible to give-you up." She .rose, and made a slow tour of the room;" halting 'on the rug before the closed fireplace a few "feet from me. I sat looking at her. "I am going to give you up," 1 said at last Her eyes, staring into vacancy, grew larger and Intenser with each long, deep breath she took. "I didn't Intend to say what I'm about to say-rat least, not this even ing." I went on, and to me it seemed to be some other than myself who was speaking. "Certain things happened down town to-day that have set me to thinking. And I shall do whatever 1 can for your brother and your father. But you you are free!" She went to the table, stood there in profile to me. straight and slender as a sunflower stalk. She traced the silver chasings in the lid of the cigar ette box with her forefinger; then she took a cigarette and began rolling it slowly and absently. "Please don't scent and stain your fingers with that filthy tobacco," said 1 rather harshly. "And only this afternoon you were saying you bad become reconciled to my vice that you had canonized ,it along with me wasn't that your phrase?" This indifferently, without turning toward me, and as if she were thinking of something else. "So I have," I retorted. "But my mood please oblige me this once." She let the cigarette fall into the box. closed the lid gently. leaned against the table, folded her arms upon her bosom and looked full at me. 1 was as acutely conscious of her every movement, of the very coming and going of the breath at her nos trils, as a man on the operating table is conscious of the slightest gesture of the surgeon. "You are suffering!" she said, and her voice was like the flow of oil upon a burn. "I have never seen you like this. I didn't believe you capable 'of of much feeling." I could not trust myself to speak. If Bob Corey could have looked in on that scene, could have understood it, how amazed he would have been! i "What happened down town to day?" she went on. "Tell me, if I may know." "I'll tell yow what I didn't think, ten minutes ago, I'd tell any human being,'" said I. "They've got me strapped down in the press. At ten o'clock in the morning precisely at ten they're going to -put on the screws." 1 laughed. "I guess they'll have me squeezed pretty dry before noon." She shivered., "So you see," I continued, "1 don't deserve any credit tor giving you up. I only anticipate you by about twenty four houBS. Mine's death-bed repent ance." "I'd thought of that" said she re flectively. Presently she added: "Then, it is true." And I knew Sammy had given her some Mat that prepared her for my confession. rYee I can't go blustering through the inairimoBial market," replied L I've been thrown out I'm a beggar at the gates." "A beggar at the gates," she aur- I got up and stood looking down at her. - "Don't pity me!" I said. "My re mark was a figure of speech. I waat no alms. I wouldn't take even you as alms. They'll probably get me down,, and stamp the life out of me-i-nearly. But not quite don't you lose sight of that They can't kill me, and they can't tame me.' Ill recover, and I'll strew the street' with their blood and broken bones." ' She drew in her breath sharply. ' "And a minute ago I was almost liking you!" she exclaimed. I retreated to my chair and gave her a smile that must have been grim. "Your Ideas of life and of men are like a cloistered nun's.',' said I. "If there are any real men among your acquaintances, you may find out some day that they're not so much like lap dogs as they pretend and that you wouldn't like them, if they were." i "What-rjust what happened to you down town to-day after you left me?"j "A friend of. mine has Tieen luring? me into a. trap why, I can't quite: fathom.

And, with her arms still folded, she paced up and down the room. I watched her slender feet in pale blue slippers ap pear and disappear first one, then the other at the edge of her trailing skirt Presently she stopped In front of me. Her eyes were gazing past me. ','You are sure it was he?" she asked. I could not answer immediately, so amazed was I at her expression. 1 had been regarding her as a being above and apart an incarnation of youth and innocence; with a shock It now came to me that she was exper ienced, intelligent that she understood the whole of -life, the dark as fully as the light and that she was -capable to live it. too. It was not a girl that was questioning me there; it was a woman. "Yes Langdon." I replied. "But I've no quarrel with him. My reverse is nothing but the fortune or war. 1 assure you. when I see him again, Til be as friendly as ever only a bit less or a trusting ass, I fancy. We're a lot of free lances down in the street We change sides whenever it's expedient; and under the code it's not necessary to give warning. To-day, before 1 knew he was the assassin. I had made my plans to try to save myself at his expense, though I believed him to be the best friend I had down town. No doubt he's got some good reason for creeping up on me in the dark." "You are sure it was he?" she re peated. "He, and nobody else," replied I. "He decided to do me up and I guess hell succeed. He's not the man to lift his gun unless he's sure the bird will fall." "Do you really not care any more than you snow?" she asked. "Or is your manner only bravado to show off before me?" "I don't care a damn, since I'm to lose you," said I. "It'll be a godsend to have a hard row to hoe the next few months or years." x She west back to leaniag against the table, her arms folded. as. before. I saw she waa thinking out something. Finally she said: "I have decided not to accept release." I sprang to ay feet "Anita!" I cried, ay eras stretched toward her. But' she' only' looked coldly at me. folded her anas the more tightly aad said: ' 'N ' "Do not misunderstand me. The bargain is the same as before. If you want me oa those terms. I aust give myself "Why?: I asked. A faint smile; with bo mirth ia it drifted rouad the coraers of her mouth. "An impulse," she said. "I don't quite understand it myself. An Im pulse from frost " Her eyes and her thoughts were far away, aad her expression was the oae that made it hardest for me to believe she was a child of those pareats of hers. "Aa impulse from a sense of justice of decency. I am the caase.of your trouble,- and I. daren't be a coward and a cheat" She repeated the last words. "A coward a cheat! We I have taken much from you, more than you know. It must be repaid. If you still wish. I will will keep to my bar gain." "It's trueH I'd not have got into the mess." said I, "if I'd been attending to business instead of dangling after you. But you're, not responsible for that folly." , She tried to speak several times, before she finally succeeded in say ing: "It's my fault I mustn't shirk." I studied her, but I couldn't puzzle her out ( -. "I've been thinking all along that you were. simpe and transpareat." 1 said. "Now, I gee you are a aystery. What .are you .hiding from me?". , Her smile was almost .coquettish as sne repuea: ; . . "When a woman makes a mystery of herself to a man, .it's for the man's' good." . , -. . . . I took her hand almost timidly. "Anita." I said; "do you still dis-1 likemer f?"" ' ;, ."I do not and shall not love you, she answered! "'"But you are -" ME ROOTED THERE, "More endurable?" I suggested, as she hesitated. "Less unendurable," she said with raillery. Then she added. "Less un endurable than profiting by a creep ing up in the dark." I thought I understood her better than she understood herself. And sud denly my passion melted in a tender ness I would have said was so foreign to me as rain to a desert I noticed that she had a haggard look. "You are very tired, child." said I. "Good night I am a different man from what I was when I came In here." "And I a different woman," said she, a beauty shining from her that was as far beyond her physical beauty as as love is beyond passion. "A nobler, better woman," I ex claimed, kissing 'her hand. She snatched it away. "If you "only knew!" she cried. "It seems to me, as I realize what sort Hats Reveal Broadawy Dealer Tells Different Stages from Men's Headgear. "No," said the Broadway hatter, "you can't fool me on human nature. You can tell any man by his hat There's the dandy who comes In aad buys an opera hat and one of those fool things that turns up square in the front. There's the tough who never takes a hat until he's tried it on at an angle of 30 degrees. There's the skin flint that buys one .hat a season and sticks to it till the whistle blows. Why, I can even tell you the story of some men's lives by their hats. For instance, see that sport over there paying five dollars for a rough straw. Well, wnen he first came in here he used to buy a dozen hats a season, everything from a high silk to an auto cap. Thea one day he stopped all ot a sudden and took to wearing a derby.

But not wholly to no purpose," I reflected, again all in a glow at thought of Anita. xvm. A WINDFALL FROM "GENTLE MAN" JOS. I went to my rooms, purposing te go straight to bed, aad get sleep. I did aske a start toward dressing; then I realised that I only lie awake with ay brain wearing me out spinning crazy thoughts aad schemes hour after hour for my im agination rarely lets it do any elect ive thinking after the lights are oat and the limitations of material things are wiped away by the darkness. I dressed myself again aad went out went up:e?Joe Healey's gam bling place iaAsrty-fovth street Most of the. weTHcaewa: fkablers ap town, as well as'Vaeir aveetable down town fellow aeabaitf of the fra ternity, were 'Old acqasjataaces of mine; Joe Healey was as dose a friend as I had. He had great faae for squareness and, in a sense, de served it With his fellow gamblers he was as straight as a striag at all times to c be othe'rwlse would have meant that when he went broke he would stay broke, because none of the fraternity would "stake" him. But with his patrons being regarded by them as. a pariah, he acted toward thea like a pariah a prudeat pariah. He fooled them with a frank show ef gentlemanliness, of honesty to his own hurt: under that cover he fleeced them well, but always judiciously. That night I recall. Joe's guests were several young fellows of the fashionable set, rich men's sons sad their parasites, a few of the big dowa town operators who hadn't yet get hipped on "respectability they play ing poker in a private room and a couple of flush-faced, flush-pursed chaps from out of town, for whoa one of Joe's men was dealing faro from what looked to my experienced and accurate eye like a "brace" box. Joe, very elegant, too elegant la fact in evening dress, was showing a new piece of statuary to the oldest son of Melville, of the National In dustrial bank. Joe knew a little some thing about art he was much like the art dealers who, as a matter of busi ness, learn the difference between good things and bad, but in their hearts wonder and laugh at people willing to part with large sums of money for a little paint or marble or the like. As soon as Joe thought he had suffi ciently impressed young Melville, he drifted him to a roulette table. left him there and joined me. "Come to my office," said he. "I want to see you." He led, the way down the richly carpeted marble stairway as far as the landing at the turn. There, on a sort of mezzanine, he had a gorgeous little suit The principal object ia the sitting-room or oalce was a huge safe. He closed and locked the outside door behind us. "Take 'a seat." said he. "You'll like the cigars in the second box on my desk the long one.". And he began turning the combination lock. "You haven't dropped in on us for the past three or four months," he went on. "No," said I, getting a great deal ot pleasure out of seeing again, and thus intimately, his round, ruddy face like a yacht man's, not like a drinker's and his shifty, laughing brown eyes. "The game down town has given me enough excitement. I haven't had to continue it up town to keep my hand in." "I've noticed that you are getting too swell to patronize us fellows," said he, his shrewd smile showiag that my polite excuse had not fooled him. "Well, Matt you're right you always did have good sound sense aad a steady eye for the main chance. I used to think the womeh'd ruin you; they were so crazy about that hand some mug and figure of yours. But when I saw you knew exactly ween to let go. I knew nothing could stop you." By this time he had the safe open disclosing several compartments and a small, inside safe. He worked away at the second cembiaatiOB lock, aad presently exposed the interior or the little safe. It was filled with a great roll of bills. He pried this out; brought it over to the desk aad began wrapping it up. "I want yon to take this with you when you ,go." said he.. "I've made several big killings lately; and I'm going to get you to invest the proceeds." . t (To be Continued.) Life Srories "'How's the baby?' I asked as I handed him tfae cheap brown derby.
