Terhune Van D Water. At the . maid's anhuoncement of her un expected guest, Beatrice set down 1 her cup and flashed a startled glance at Helen. Mrs. Koblnson waa a trifle dis concerted and flushed, but Beatrice thought that an expression of triumphant eelf-rlghteousnesa flickered around her lips' as she raised, her. brows in answer to the appeal in the widow's eyes. Even Helen, with her prejudices, was forced to admit to her that Beatrice's manner was that of the perfect hostess as she rose to greet her guest ' "A very pleasant surprise," she ex claimed cordially when Maynard entered the drawing room. "Helen and I were just talking of you when you were an nounced." ' "Yes?" queried the man, jestingly, as he turned to greet his fellow-guest "Speak -of the devil and you'ra sure to see him, eh? While I, out In the ball. was thinking of angels and heard their voices." .. "Tou will have some team, of course?" suggested Beatrice, touching ' the tiny Chinese gong on the little- table at her side. - ' ' - M -- "None if you please,"'the man an swered. "My lunfch was late today, and, what little appetite this first hot weather left me was taken away by that-repast" The maid entered -and at a word from her mistress removed the teatray. and table, while the trio, settling themselves In chairs chattted lightly of impersonal things until the sinking sun warned Helen that it was time for her to leave. Yet, Incredible as It may seem to one-who is not an impressionable women, In that quarter' of an hour Robert Maynard's manner had done much to cool Beatrice's indignation against him. He possessed to a great degree that wholly. Indefinite- something which we call magnetism. Weeks ago Beatrice had heard Helen' say ithSt'.one could.be" angry at Bobert Maynard, but never angry with him. She remembered that now, as she found herself laughing spontaneously at his- clever, nonsense which was combined with a natural gayety that was almost childlike. He rose to his feet as Helen got up to leave, and announced In spite of ner protests,- his Intention of accom panying her as far as her car. But before he left he murmured to Beatrice, Tin coming back may I?" . And she, smiled her assent 'X' '. . She waited until , the rumble of . the elevator signalled their descent and then hurried into her room where she quickly exchanged her easy and rather . homely house slippers for a dainty pair of satin pumps, and - slipped upon her wrist a bangle which Robert had admired the day of their drive together. If the recol lection of this incident brought the dis agreeable ending of the excursion more clearly to her mind, she-quickly consigned the unsavory memory to obscurity. He was merely a friend, - she insisted to herself, scarcely more than a pleasant acquaintance, , despite Helen's match making Ideas, and If lie was calling on her in that capacity, it was her duty as a hostess to make his visit as pleasant and agreeable as- she rould. If, when she looked, into the glass, she saw that her cheeks were more flushed and. her eyes brighter that! the advent of a chance caller would ' justify, she felt only a thrill of satisfaction at her appearance and did not attempt to analyse her ex ' cltement . . Maynard returned sooner that she had expected and she had scarcely time to seat-herself and open a book as If she had been reading ever since his departure before the' portieres parted and he again entered the room. 'l was . a long time getting back, I know," he said ruefully. "But It really wasn't jrny ; fault Those infernal street cars never come1" when one is in' a hurry.".. . . "But you weren't gone long," answered Beatrice. "I call that a very short time indeed." "Perhaps," he admitted, as he drew up a chair. "But I was living in antici pation, you see, and you were not." "What an arbitrary way you have of declaring what one's,' thoughts have been,", laughed the widow. "Are you al ways certain of every person's feelings?' "No," he responded slowly and with out a smile, "I am only sure of my own." His tone held a significance which his words did not warrant and Beatrice flushed under his steady gaze. "Even at that you are a very, fortunate person," she forced herself to say lightly." , : - "I hope, to be," he answered enigma tically.. . , There was a brief silence which the man was the first to break. Mrs. Miner," he said abruptly, as though spurred by a sue" den resolution. e ee'g np eU aa z i re f) a OLD 3UD 56 SEP oto jsNjucHeaycN ISooTAFTEH THAT TOlO ME THAT Hfc ituweo Tiu.ro or INFMItlCJE ANb VAAi IMtOULT Q9iHT TOO At H6S 3 ADNT ano wowo T)loblKS AT 7. A Husband Kindness Forces the Widow Spite of Her Vows. "I believe you did not wholly believe whatever it was that Mrs. Bobbins waa saying to you this afternoon about me." "What1 Helen was saying?" queried Beatrice' pussled. "She Is a good woman," went on May nard, "but she Is; queer, strict ideas which lead her at times to say mora than she means or has a right to say. I heard her mention' my name when I came in today, and although I did not intend to listen, I also heard her say something relative to hard drinking. I know hef well, and In spite Of her New England conscience, I am fond of her. Tet I ask you to Judge by facts hereafter rather than by her statements." "But how,", asked Helen faintly, "did you know that It was Helen who was speaking?" i. "I noted you looked embarrassed when I came In," said Maynard smiling. Confession hovered on Beatrice's lips, but was checked by the memory of Helen Bobbin's superior I-told-you-so smile when Maynard was announced. "I honestly did not catch exactly wha( she said," Maynard admittted, "but, please don't believe It too entirely. I scarcely think you did, anyway." s"No," -responded Beatrice, verbally truthful. "I didn't" "I -value your good opinion," Robert said gently "more than I dare hope you appreciate.' But at "this" Juncture th6 maid burst into, the small room holding Beatrice's small son by the arm, ; "Please, ma'am!" she gasped, . "Master Jack has cut his hand something dread, full What shall 1-do?" ; The sight of the pale little boy and the crimson flood turned Beatrice faint. It was Maynard- who grasped the child and wrapped around the gash the cloth the .bewildered servant held out to him; it was he who telephoned for the doctor and calmed ' the frightened mother and the sobbing child. When the physician had arrived and order had been restored Maynard tactfully took his departure, reminding Beatrice of his desire to be of service at any time she or the lad might need a man's help. An hour later a long box came to the widow. She opened it and gasped ' at the pale' glory of the orchids that f (lied it. . On top of them lay a card. "Can I come day after tomorrow night to finish our talk?" ran the message. "Best wishes for the boy's comfort. R. M." Weather Yarns -J The weather vagaries of the last six months sharpen one's appreciation of the account ' of the summerless year 1816, which, according to the Danbury, Conn., News, Is found In the pages of an old diary begun in 1810 and kept unbroken until 1840. "January was so mild that most persons allowed their fires to go out and did not burn wood except for cooking February was not cold March, from the 1st to the 6th. was Inclined to be windy April came In warm, but as the days grew longer the air became colder, and Vy the 1st of May there was a temperature like that of winter, with plenty of snow and Ice. In May the young buds were frozen dead. Ice formed half an Inch thick on ponds and rivers, corn was killed and the cornfields were planted again and again until it became too late to raise a crop June was the coldest month of roses ever experienced In this latitude Snow fell ten inches deep in Vermont. There was a seven Inch fall in the Interior of New York state and the same in Massachusetts All summer long the wind blew steadily from the north in blasts, laden with snow and ice On the Fourth of July ice as thick as wlndowglass formed throughout New England, New York, and In some parts of Pennsylvania To the surprise of everybody, August proved the worst month of all. Almost every green thing in this country and Europe was blasted with frost" From . an old-fashioned summer of this kind most of us will pray to be delivered. :.

' We saw how many of these animals. In order to find their way about In the sunless depths that surround them, have developed phosphorescent organs whlph enable them to provide a light of their own, while others, as If abandoning the use of eyes altogether, have gradually lost the organs of vision possessed by their relatives above. We also saw that these deep-sea animals, living out where there ts no sunlight to bring out the ef fects of color, are generally very -dark of hue. If not absolutely black and destitute- of the brlliant markings possessed by creatures which revel In the sunlight.

I dtdent want to go, beekaua our nine was going to play Tom MsNamara'a nine In the afternoon, it Tom stolo a ball from hla big brother. His big brother bad stole the ba!J from the ground keeper at the ball park A It waa no use for the ground keeper to say anything, bee kaus he had found the ball out In the grass wen ha was mowing grass in the outfield & he dldent have a rite to keep.lt " Anyhow, Pa & me went fishing Instead of playing. Pa kept talking about - what' a " , great fisher he was. I dldent mind It much at first, beekaus Pa is all the time telling what a grata man he Is anyhow, but after he toald about all the fish that he had caught all oaver the world, I beegan to think ha was like the rest Of the fishermen. ' You-see, Bobble, sed Pa to me, this Inhabitants of the Seabed a-Gleam with Strange and Luitroui Beauty. Today we show pictures of animals which inhabit parts of the sea bed which d'q not He so deep that some sunshine cannot penetrate there, and which, la contrast with the Inhabitants of the great abysses, are so brlllantly adorned wth colors that naturalists in describing them have to compare them with the most glorious gems, such as rubles, emeralds and sapphires. They exceed the most beautiful flowers In splendor, because their bodies are frequently composed of more or less translucent (light-penetrable) tissues, which often seems to be self luminous. This gives vivacity to their colors wtoich only polshed and highly ra fractlve Jewels possess. Among these are the Jelly fishes, the corals, the sea-anemones "anemone" meaning a wind flower. But no flower has so much liveliness of color as these animals exhibit. Tet when these same animals are taken out of the water they lose nearly all of their brilliance. Even animals that by their forms are repulsive when taken out of their ele ment, such as sea-spiders, spider-crabs, hermit-crabs, star-fishes and sea-urchins, are very beautiful when seen In the water. TJiey stalk about thera like strange knights clothed In shining dam ascened armor. Borne seem to be decor ated with burning Jewels. , The light around them Is faint compared wth that out of the water, and their brilliant translucent colors displayed in their dim world go far to counteract the relative gloom of their surroundings. In some places the seabed, at no great depth lnr the shores, Is wonderfully crowded with these creatures and the different species live together In imme. dlate proximity as we do not see differ ent famlles of animals doing on the earth's surface-except, perhaps in a menagerie. It Is almost as If one should In some remote part of Africa, come upon a landscape where Hons, leopards, gi raffes, sebrss, elephants, buffaloes and antelopes were feeding and hunting to gether, In a splendid confuelon of color and form. You can get some Idea of the strangeness of the life of the sea by visiting the aquarium and studying the various tanks filled with swimming and crawling creatures. But peace and brotherhood do not pre vail in these under-sea communities any more than they do on the surface of the earth- There are battles for supremacy and for life there as here. Some species are the natural prey of others. The beautiful star fish is a very tiger In his native haunts. The sun-starfish Is a terrible enemy of oysters, and devours them by the thousands In spite of their stout shells.. Not ring could be more wonderful than a Jellyfish floating like an Iridescent cloud In the water, which Is his atmcs-, phere. The trallng membranes of some species of Jellyfish and sea anemones are Inexpressibly beautiful. Yet among these splendid creatures are found some which are not only without beauty of color, but so shapeless that they look rather like bits of rock or stone than living animals. Some, toe, seem to conceal such beauty as they possess from all outer view. The outside of the oyster ts rugged and re pulsive, but within the shell, when ex posed to light, some tmes exhibits a mar vellous play of prismatic color.

It seems strange that objects whose beauty de-. pends entirely upon the play of light should never show that beauty except" when they are accidentally brought out of their natural surroundings. Much of the splendor of the Ufa of the sea, as It Is usually beheld from above. Is due to corals. A view through 'a "water telescope" of the coral reefs of Bermuda or other tropical islands ' fills the beholder with as much astonishment ss delight. But the casual observer of these scenes generally sees but little of the real wonders of the sea bed. It is the naturalist who sees the real "gulfs enchanted," and occasionally . catches sight of some Jewelled creature Issuing from a dark cavern, gleaming in the dim light and stalking about In search of his prey.
