' ucli was the way in which he cogitated
without gaining any light. Ito finally became -

On tlio last of these occasions he Was
aroused from 1113 meditations by seong Mrs.
lowland herself croas. the park and a1-
; , preach with the air of one who had something
important to say.
' "Mr.'tnter , " saul she , " 1 would like
to talk with you aba 't a suitabo monument

"J sliuli be glad to asIst you in * hat-

His' demeanor ejned to relkve lir , for
she 'had .M1Iroachoil him In' a hesitati g
way. as If she were doubtful whether she
would receive t courteous greeting.
"Jdy..plati is , " she sAId. 'to have as good
a monument erected to his memory as I can
f. _ , afford. I wish to show proper respect , and ,
altlLotgh I am not rich , my husband left
enough of a fortuec to make inS' circunc-

"That's it exactly , " replicd the fair

" \Vell , I've beca in the businrss for thirty

"l3ut there Is something eleso to consider , "
said Mrs. Ithvland In a perplexed way.
"Something else to consider ? " said Jaob
in a voice indicative of Surpri3e.
"Yes ; there Is a moral question liz'-
volved. "
I do not understand you , "
. "f viI1 explain , although It pains me to
do It. You nuist know that the general
opinion is that my husband acqured ! most
' of lila money dishonestly. I did cot eus-
pect that lie had done so much wrong until
lie confessed a short time before hIs death
that ho hail greatly sinned , and since that
50(1 event by closely questioning reluctant

good to dwell on them now. "
"hut do you not unilerstand that I am
doubtful whether it is right for me to erect
a handsome monument by the use of money
0 wrongfully obtained ? "
"Most wives would not , trouble themselves -
, - . selves about such a matter. Your husband
alone was responsible for the wrong tran-
sections. Mid the money has come to you
lawfully as his widow. You have a legal
right to do what you vleaso with It. "
"I have a legal right , of course , but have
' I a moral right ? "

"flut you do miot seem to be exactly clear

"I am thinking whether , if lie vero really

he has since been in business. "
" 1 remember , " said the beautiful widow
softly ,
"Do not think that I wish to blame you , "
Mr. Winter hastened to add , "but in Justice
to my ann , as well as for your owa inforina-
tion , I wiil say that a tow months ago I
learned frolu one who is a friend to us both
that tbo reason why you treated Charles so
eohdly was that you wore basely deceived by
the man who afterward became your bus-
band , lIe deliberately lied to you for the
sake of winnIng your hand and defeating
his rival. Ito even convinced you that
Charles had spoken dlsrespectfuily and
mean1 ' , f yo to Others. "
"It is true , " said MrL llowlanl , humbly.
"And now that you have aeknowhedged
that through and experience you have learned
that your husband wan a dishonest , unkind
man , Is it hard for you to believe mc when
I tell you that Charles was entirely Innocent -

"I am so glad to hear you say it , " said
the delighted father , a glow of happiness
overspreadlnghls plain , but noble face.
'Thank Godrhe continued , "It is not too
late to brltit"'ou tw'o lovers together , for
Charles has nzver 'married , and I know he

"You are right , " she exclaimed. " 110w
greatly I have wronged a worthy man ! "
Attliis moment a young ian approached ,
unnoticed by the others , so engrossed were
they in their conversation , .
" ( load evening , father , " he cried ,
Mr. Winter.joolccd up.
"Well ! weli .ths , is a Burprise , There
is Charles himself ! " ho exclaimed In de.
lighted accents.
Mrs. Howland blushed ,
"You are just In time , ray boy. just In
time. "
"Jus In time ! " repeated Charles , em-
barrasacd by the remark and also by the
presence of the'voman he had loved so
fervently , but who had dismissed him yeir's

"Yes , " said .lii father , "ust in time. I
isever was oily hand at match making , but
I have a good excUse for speaking out now.

into Mrs. Ilotand's tearful eyes , and saw
something that reVealed more than words

Mr. Winter , eonslderately stepped
aside. lie was gone half an hour , and
when ho returne\pho was greeted by a by-
lag , happy coulile. ' .
"This does heart good , " exclaimed
the old man , li1s'cotho trmbllng with Joy.
"I have decided that it a not advisable to
erect an e1plve monument , A good ,

money for us both , and ho wishes mo tiuso

can be conveniently done , and In helping tbo

"I am not surprised. it is no more than
could be expected of my noble boy , " said
Mr , Winter , looking at his son with undle-
guised pride.
"Lie bias solved my moral lirobbem for me , "
remarked Mrs. Itowland ,
"It could not have been inoro happily
solved. I wish you both much joy. "
I "But you have lost sour opportunity to do

To understand tim peculiarly destructive
power of the guns with which modern navies
are provided , says the Chicago Itecord , it
must be kept in mind that most of these
larger instruments of warfare carry a pro-
jectibo which not only has great penetrating
power but contains some high explosive
easily detonated upon striking any obstacle
offering fair resistance.
The mortar , discharging an explpalvo shell
through a ligh ! trajectory , the muzzle of the
gun being upturned to an angle'ot forty-five
degrees , Is still in use in shore batteries.
But modem science has niastere.I the invention -
tion of elicIt guns which can shoot point
blank with high velocity and will explode
with terrific effect on striking the target.
Some of the smaller and rapid-fire guns ,
of course , shoot solid masses of steel , highly
tempered and capable of great penetration.
Projectiles designed for this purpose are
sent from the muzzle of tile gun with immense -
menso force and are capable of penetrating
armor plate of the best kind to a thickness
30 per cent greater than the caliber of the
projectile. But the deallest damage is done
by the shell gun carrying a missile which ,
aside frons its great weIght and penetrating
power , isolde a heavy explosiyo charge which
is detonated Immediately upon impact with
tile target , although some shells are cx-
ploded by a fuse.
As to the relative merits of the explosives
opinions differ , but gun cotton Is a favorite ,
iough the French navy uses ineiinite as
thio burstIng charge. . The shells tlierniieives
differ both in form and sIze and in their design -
sign , The "Incendiary shell' is filed with
some substance dcsigiicd to set. fire to the
emimmy'e ship. The ordinary hlotchliiss shell
contains In its cylinder a heavy charge and
the projectile is inado with a casing of three
thicknesses in order that it may break Into
a large number of pieces when bursting , The
skill which has been expended on projectiles
of this class may be imagined froni the fact
that. . they can be discharged with a heavy
concussion without. exploding and the danger
of unintentional explosions has bvon so mm-
tinizcd that while the shell from a heavy
cannon vil1 burst If Ito impact is agaimlt
four inches of steel It will not explode when
sent against the ordinary side'phatlng of
ships , _ * S
The penetrating power ot tlice modern
Implements of warfare is great , hut their
destructive effect on explosion is tcrriflc ,

vulture and the turkey buzzard are almost
the only birds of prey. They are so useful
as scaveng rs to carry away waste naterinl

Geese , turkeys , peacocks and pigeons are
the most familiar domestic fowls and pigs ,
sheep , goats , mules and horses the animals

Ci1nht 11orc ,
The Cuban horses are almost a race by
' themselves , They are very gentle , they
never kick nor bite nor play tricks on their
riders , In some parts of tlo Islanl horses
receive as much consideration as a member
of time family , They are not tied or confined -
fined , but they wander about the door yard ,
put their heads into the kitchca windows
to exchange the time of day and even on
occasIon have the privilege of entering the
house. The sight of humans and equines
on terms of such easy familiarity makes
one wonder if the days of Gulhiver and his
horse country have come again.
Sometimes the roads are very bad and the
mud so sticky that it holds nay foreign substance -
stance like glue , For this reason farmers
braid their horses' tails , turn them up over
their horses' backs and tie them to the sad-
die. No northern pony would stand title

quIto willing to endure It. In mountainous
regions mules are used to carry the coffee
and sugar down 'the mountain paths and to
save drivern ismules Ia long proeession , are
tied together , ommo's head to another 's tail ,
amid with only one man at the head of Usc
column to guide the leader they carry dowmi
their burdens safely. The Imind legs of Cuban
mules must be worked on a different prlncl-
pie from that in vogue among United Statea
mules , Here no imssurance agency would insure -
sure a man whose business was tying mules
to one another's tails.
