Dear Miss TJIack
Many years ago.

"Thero whs noth

other fellow got In
the first shot, and his bullet burnt and
tore Its way through my shoulder nut
my aim was more accurate and he went
down and out forever. Vet I'm sure It It
was possible to call him from the grave
ho would not condemn me nor bear ani
mus against me.
"I paid tho exacting. Inexorablo penalty
of the law. It was an exorbitant price,
and tho price was tho best years of my
life.
"And now at 40 I am free again, no not
tree, for It seems to me that I'm con
tinually enveloped In that black shadow
of stigma. And that Is what I'm fighting
ugalnst. .
"During all those miserable years 'I
played a man's hand and have nothing to
regret, nothing to be ashamed of. And
when 1 walked out Into the world I
again took up the long-lost thread of
life and went to work.
"And now to the essence of my mes
sago: All my life my ono dominating
desire has been to have a home and loved
ones of my own. Someone who would
care for mo above all others; someone
to work and strive for, and, If needs be.
to do sacrifice for.
"Yet can ono who has been through
what T have hope for such things? Is
there In all this big world a woman, a
uood and true womanly woman who
would link her future. ,her life, with
mine? Haven't I eternally barred myself
for all that Is good and pure?
"And must I forever skulk through tho
murky BUbwnys of life an Ishmaellite

shunned? v
"Tell me, Miss Winifred Black, tell me
whero I stand In our modern complex
social system. And tell me, is there hope
for me? Yours sincerely, J. II. M."
What shall you do, good friend, with
me prison marie seared ueep into your
heart? Just one thing right naff. Hum
it up, that prison memory; burn It up,
like the pest that ft is.
. Take every shred of everything you
ver had at that time and go out Into
the splendid, free, happy world, some
where In n far place where no curious
eyes shall see, and burn them up. And
when the smoke rises in thd air, pray,
pray, pray, pray for peace, and trust, and
confidence and forgctfulness.

Straighten your back, hold up your

Go away somewhere where people do

Tho aged Dr. Alfred HuBsel Wallace is

No doubt Dr

Nevertheless, It may do us more goad

The Importance of Dr. Wallace's state
ment Is In Its Implied warning against
the misuse of; qfur, advantages. He point?
out tho faot that other eras hnvo made
treat gains, and that these gains have
afterward been nullified and lost.
Thus Dr. Wallaco corrects a widespread
misunderstanding as to the real mean
ing of the evolutionary doctrine that Is
so Intimately associated with his name.
It does not mean, as has been vulsarly
supposed, that we are pressed futefully
forward by Irresistible forces, and that
whether nations are wise or foolish, brave
or cowardly, each day of their lives must
necessarily ho higher and happier than

And Miss Katherlne Kaelred. who lss t
well known In society as she Is on the j

the cause and the result of certain mar- 1

"As long as society looks axkanio at
the engaged couple who have the courage
to hrrnk off an engagement of marriage,
Just to long will the young people who
have gotten as far as announcing their
engagement, which may only have been
a sort of lark, feel that they must go 011
and fulfill the pledge of the engagement.
"More broken engagements would mean
fewer unhappy marriages." said Miss
Kaelred, "but no mattr how excellent the
reasons nre which Induce young people
to break their betrothal, the very sensi
tive young person always feels that a
stigma of some sort Is attached to this
proceeding.
"I presume,'' lonllnued the beautiful
Australian, "that people have the feel
ing that an engagement ought to bo
binding, because In olden times the
betrothal ceremony was almost as Im
portant ns the marriage Itself. Hut In
those days the marriages of young peo

because she's afraid of public opinion.
"The modern girl feels that there Is a

she becomes engaged to a young man.
and she often thinks more of this than of
her future happiness. She rushes Into n

' The engagement Is announced. T'a

the announcement subsides, and the glil

of herself, of the demands she will make
on her future husband. Her fiance may
be the dearest person In the world, hut
some instinct, some Half-understood In
tuition, warns her that they are not
fitted for each other.
"There is nothing that she can put into
words, no reasons which her family could
understand. In nine cases out of ten, the
young fiance Is equally confused and
doubtful of the outcome of their married

speaking1 right up and answering that
conundrum promptly and to tho satis

it did there would be no more wedding

No living man knows why he falls In

or why one maiden sets his pulses thril

and did not have a single fault.
Then the grand Inquisitor would take
one squint at Arabella and, perceiving
that she was an ordinary looking young
person with a snub noso and hay col
ored hair, and that she simpered and
giggled, and bore none of the earmarks
of the superwoman he would pityingly
commit the besotted youth to a padded
cell, as he remarked: "Young man,
what you need is an alienist and not a

Is the answer. Site's Just the one woman

So they go on to tho tune of tho

young and will marry o:ten In all proba

rejoice when ah engagement is broken
by mutual consent, or even by one of
the parties, .though the other may suf

"As for tho world in general, people's

That would be a lovely hlah-browed
Justification of his sentiments, but it Is
doubtful if any man ever really fell In
love with a woman's brains. When he
loves such a ono It Is generally In spite
of them, and not because of them, nnd as
a rule the more scrambled they are the
hotter ho likes her.
Or a man might say: "1 love her be

This girl Is young. Khe finds fault with

Helng young, and fond of bright bits
of worthless glass, the girl thinks more
of the polished compliment than of the
one not so readily or gracefully paid.
She doesn't know that every compliment
that is polished received Its luster

other women before her. She hasn't

In all good faith, If 11 man had to an

photographs of them, one In yellow light)
one In violet light and one In ths ultra
violet rays. Ho found that the image o(
one of the pieces of tuff, which lay o
top of the other, wan almost Invisible lr
yellow light, while U10 other specimen dU
not show similar changes. Then" hi
analyzed tho specimen that photographoi
dark In the ult-volet rays, aad foun
that Is contained Iron and a little milphni
Thereupon he took a rock and stain
It with Iron, but this showed equall
dark In the violet and the ultra-vlolsi
Next ha sprayed a part ot ths rock wltl
sulphur vapor, producing a dsooslt tha.
was Invisible to the eye. When this ws.
photographed In the different kinds o
light tho deposit was invisible in th
yellow, came out gray In the violet, ah
black In the ultra-violet. Since this wa
exactly tho appearance of the strange da
posit around the crater mountain oh th
moon, when photographed in slmll
lights, the inference was Irresistible tha
Aristarchus Is surrounded by vast da
posltH of sulphur, whose existence wouli
never have been known to us but for to
curious power of the ultra-violet rays.
There aro similar deposits around othe
mountains on the moon, and this fact
In accord with the belief that moat o
these mountains are of volcanlo origin
since It Is well known that on the earti
the volcanoes are always surround
with deposits of sulphur.
Tho experiments of Prof. Wood may bi
only the beginning of a new.- method o
celestial exploration, which when It t
Perfected will produce still more aston
Ishlng discoveries. Already the possibll
lty has been discussed of employing thl
infra-rod as well as the ultra-violet rayi
for this purpose, and Inasmuch as even
substance probably has its own prefer
encrs In regard to the kind of rays tha
It reflects, there Is 110 Improbability li
predicting that photographic charts a
the moon will be made which will eho
th character of the minerals aboundlnt
on different parts of Its surface as i
geological map shows those of the earth
So a wonderful page In the history ol
our little nelRhbor world will be throwi
open. Thus does Intelligence delay spac
