Earle Scott arrived at the pier just as Hie giant steamship docked. He n[>peared to lie looking for no particular person, but. rather, to search the faces of the crowds about him. Some one tapped him on the arm. “Are you one of tiiose horrid men?’’ a rather tired voice Inquired. Scott turned and smiled at the girl beside him. ‘'Weil. I certainly am a man,” lie acknowledged, “and I guess I'm nbout as horrid as most of my sex.” “Oh, I didn’t mean 1 beg your par don." stammered the girl. “I meant were you a customs officer? You see. Pm”— He scanned the girl's face closely. Could she be up to Hie old game of smuggling? More than one official had liceii tricked by a pair of honest eyes, and Scott had just acknowledged that he was but a mere man. The girl certainly had a fascinating personality. Scoit informed her Hint he was not a customs official, but offered to la* of any assistance to her. ‘•Oh, thank you so much,” she exclaimed as she hurriedly glanced about her. "I want a cab to take me to that address,” and she handed him a visiting card. “No one lias met me. and. oh, I must get away before he comes off Hie boat.” "I understand,”assured Scott, though in reality he did not. “Want to shake some undesirable shipboard acr|iiailituuee?” “It’s not exactly that—he’s a dear, but oh, if you will Just get me a cal) that will solve the whole problem." A cabman was found who agreed to take the girl to her destination for a nominal fee. and as Scott closed the door upon his mysterious companion she leaned forward through the window. “Won’t you tell me your name and I’ll have my uncle write ami thunk you?” >ho inquired. He drew a card from his wallet and presented It to her. Aloud she read the address in trembling voice. "Mr. ! rle i iu drey Scott. Harlequin Club '' "Won't you write instead?” Earle suggested, but the disinterested cabman whipped up ids horse and her answer was lost. Scott mw hurriedly returned to Hie ship and boarded tier. Hi* bail no difficulty in finding Ids father, who was always among the last to leave a ship. His son. knowing this, had not hastened to find him. After the first greetings the old gentleman slapped his son affectionately upon the shoulder. “Well, my boy. I’ve brought you n fine present this year a rate prize." Then, glancing nhout Hie ship and the crowd below them, he added. “But 1 think Hie little minx lias slipped off.” That evening as father and son sat chatting over their coffee and cigars the old gentleman announced: "Well, Earle, 1 brought a wife home for you came over lit the ship with me.” Earle seemed somewhat startled. “May I ad:, dad. if you have mar^, fled again, or is this matrimonial importation for me to take unto myself?” “Oh. for you—for you.” said the old man gleefully. “And we're going around there tonight. Here’s where she i-. Her uncle, old John Banks, is a great friend of mine.” He passed the card over to Earle. The latter had held the mate to It in Hie morning. Smiling to himself, Earle agreed, thinking that the mysterious girl was well worth knowing bptfer. All day long innumerable pictures of her bad flitted through Ids mind. He would la* glad to know Hie truth. When father and son were announced, John Banks and his niece entered the rot I I of hi n rtj greetings, bot the j utig couple gave twnrd iau of ieciignition. Before long file two elder men found that comfort awaited them iu the library In the form of duplicate w hist and good ci gars. Earle noted that Edith Hamilton was somewhat ill at ease, but made litlle he:. Iwuy iu solving the problem that evening. When he left the house, however, he had to acknowledge to himself that the girl was charming iu Hie extreme. He asked permission to call again. “And, by the way. Miss Hamilton, I don't have to drag father along every time, do IV” he asked in mock defer euce. t)n the way home that evening tlin father went into something of an explanation. “There's an old fashioned girl for you, Earle. Like your mother was its n girl. Nothing deceitful about her— right In the open everything straight fruit tlie shoulder. I talked a lot about you on the trip over and told het the was just the type of girl you were looking for-that we needed her sort to round out our home. Site’s been in school for years over iu France ttnd now lias come to keep house for Bunks. How did site strike you?" “As a most deceitful, deep young per on.” an taut in'ctl Earle, witli goat emphasis. Y'ct in his heart he really felt I that the apparent deceit only added to, her clianns. Earle be -ame a frequent vl.-ltor m ; the Banks household. He had the name of a heartless bachelor among Itis dub mates. Women In general bad made little Impression on him. hul lie had to acknowledge to himself that he loved this girl with all his power,

And his power was a great one. He wanted her and would I ave no stone unturned to win her At. I the evening came when he t"l i her of his love and asked her to be hi-- wife. •‘Oh. i wish you had not asked me, Mr. s ott. I couldn't, really 1 couldn’t,” was her insistent plea. “Just let's go on being friends." The big man seemed to shiver. He was very much in earnest, but he took her refusal like Hie man he was. As he sat tit Itis desk Hie next morning idly dreaming of dreams gone wrong his telephone bell rang. It was Edith Hamilton at tin* other end of the wire. She asked him in most unsteady voice mu* over thi t evening that site had --u n* ■ rt of an explain!' t) to make. Sharply at So'elock Scott was In the drawing room. As site entered the room her face Imre n sad expression, yet witiial idle was radiantly lieantlful to Earle. “Lltile girl!" S ott almost whispered its sit,* < • m* t v nrd him Sin* seemed a saintly Imin:-, far Iteyond itis reach. “1 love you- you know that, don’t you ?’’ "Ye !v rie. I believe you do." she uttorc.l ; site sank into a chair near him. “That is why I sent for you. Something seemed to tell it to me after yon left. 1 want to b*’l you something. Tito day 1 met you mi the pier I wanti*d to e ape your father liefore he came ■ m sh >re. We had Joked about my toarryinu' h' n. and when the time came when I must actually face you 1 hit: l ied away to escape tin* meeting." “And i thoeght you wen* running away from Hie customs officials,” laitglnl Scott. “Well, in part I was You see. 1 brought over n lot of real lace and smuggl'.Hl if in. 1 had sewed yards and yards of it on a cheap petticoat which I had on nt Ike time." Eor a tiritne it they both laughed heartily, then again the serious expression came back into Edith’s face. “It wax all star 1 in a joke.” she "onMimed "But when I had actually met yen and" !n*n* her voice dropped a : ■ t to a whisper -"and loved you, I w.- * afraid that \oti were asking me j * to please your father." •'iin I look like such a mollycoddle?" ask.*.! Earle as lie drew closer to Iter. “Well, tiiat wtt.s why I said ’No!" last night. Then I couldn't sleep for the very joy of thiukii.: that perhaps- per Imps you really did love me for myself alone. I)o yon. Kitt le?" Eor answer Eaih* took Iter in his arms. "Y'ou're it deroLitil little wretch,” he teased, “but ! love you and for yourself alone better iliau life itself—and you must know it." “Oh. dear, I’m > happy," she murmured as site m tied closer to him. “And, Earle, it's <• . and I Dele John lias g an* over to p ay whi: l with your father. Le.V run over an I surprise them. I'm sure l.iiele John will lie so glad to Ik* rid of me and your father well”— "Will he so happy to find that his matriu.'iuiial imp a tation lias proved ncceptahie." finished Earle.

( Wliat Matter Really Is. Throughout the greater part of space we find simple muuodilied ether, elastic and massive, squirming and quivering witli energy, but stationary as a whole. Here and there, however, we find 'specks of eleclrofied ether, isolated. yet eonne. ted together by tields of force ami it state uf violent locomotion. These peeks" are what in the fora of prodigious aggregates Ve know at ''mailer." and the greater number of sensible phenomena, such as viscosity, heat, sound, electric conduction, absorption and emission of light, belong to tlie .e differentiated or individualized and dissociated or electrified specks, which are eitIter (lying alone or are resti t ing w itli orliital motion in groups Tlie "matter" so constituted Imilt up of tin* it* well separated part lies, with interstices enormous in proportion to the size of Hu* specks—must be tin excessively pi,rous nr gossamer-like structure, like a cobweb, a milky way or a comet's tail, and Hie Inertia of matter —that Is, the combined Inertia of a group of electrified ether particles— musi be a in e restdu .1 fraction of the mass of the main hulk of undifferentiated continuous fluid occupying tlie same space,' of which fluid Hie partides tire hypothetically composed and In which they freely move.

By Inlseritance. When a strange woman came for the soiled i lollies, says a writer In the Baltimore News, the mistress of the house came to the conclusion that her own Iniindi-t had simply employed a new messenger and made no comment on the circumstance. But when two weeks had gone by and still the old laundress known ns Susan—did not appear the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking in her duty if sin* did not make some Inquiry about her. “Where is Susan?” she asked the tall, l ony woman who came for the clothes. “She lias gone to Pennsylvania tc live, yexsum,” returned Hie woman with composure. “She went to Penn-sylv.-piia some time ago, an' she lef good by for ytih, but s’ long yuh didn’t seem lull notice 1 didn't say miffin'.” “But why didn't she come and tell me and allow me to make some arrangements about my laundry?” “Well, she let" yo’ clothes tub meU She made a will an' lef dem dothet tub nieh. We'se alius been good frien’s, an' so w’en she lef she say 1 may wash yo’ clothes long ez 1 wush tub, an’ dert* was no use wonj-in’ yub ’bout lilt, now was dere?” To tills moderate and sensible question the mistress of the house found no ready response.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIAL

A pretty Sunday School social was given last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. VanAsdel by the girls of Mr. Gough's Sunday School class of College Avenue. A small admittance fee was charged to enable the girls to purchase a rug for their Sunday School room. Ten dollars or more was cleared. A very interesting program of song and recitations and music was rendered. In addition to this the girls gave a miniature reception or pink tea which proved amusing and entertaining. Miss Mary VanArsdel acted the hostess gracefully and the ladles in the receiving line were as gracious and hospitable as their elders could have been. These were as follows: Misses Grace Sellers, Julia Matson, Lillian Hays, Frances McGregor, Etta McWilliams, Genevieve Moore, Dorothy Arnold, Blanche McAllister and Jessie Gobln. i

Asbestus Mining. Asbestos, popularly known as “mineral wool,” is a compound of silica, lime, magnesia and oxide of iron and Is probablj the m"st curious natural product In existence. Being composed of fine til>ers, it can lie spun and woven into cloth, indestructible by lire, which lenders it invaluable iu many of the arts. Mining is carried on by culling down the hills of asliestu.s bearing serpentine, much as a farmer cuts down a stack of hay or straw, or by open quarrying on the level. Tlie rock Is blasted out. and Hie nsbestus, separated from the containing | rock, Is “cobbed”—that is. separated by i hammering from inferior foreign mat i ter. T he cobbing is comparatively easy I in the case of the finer quality, as it i usually separates readily from Hie , other minerals which Hr. ore contains, hut In tin* lower gl ades much difficulty Is experienced iu separating Hie fibrous mu tier from the noniibrous st 1 oiiis Globe-Democrat.
