She was a woman of resource and ability and when her husband arrived for dinner with an unexpected guest she thought she had devised a way to meet the fact that she had but ono piece of pie in the house and had intended her husband should have that. She instructed him that when she jKent to the kitchen for dessert he was to say he could not possibly eat any imore than he had eaten and then the pie could be brought to her guest twithout his surmising that there was hut ore piece in the house. This might have worked out all ;right if the pie had not been so exceedingly good and her husband had not known this because he had it for 'dinner the day before. When the maid cleared away the dinner dishes the master of the house said he had no room for dessert. The guest said he felt the same way. Then, when the master thought it was safe to do so, he changed his mine! and said afir all he guessed he would take dessert. The pie was brought. When it was half eaten the guest said It looked so good he thought he, too, would indulge. "No, you won't," said the hostess, and she told the tale of the pie. Keeping !t Dry. An old woman cf a wealthy New Jersey family was going visiting. Tho coachman, who had not been in this country long, had just been equipped ith a new uniform and a new silk hat. Before they had gone far it began to sprinkle, and the old woman told the coachman to fasten down the side curtains of the wagonette. He drove up to a hitching post beside the road and. dismounting, hung his new hat on the post, and began to faften the curtains. The o!d woman noticed his bare head and asked him where his hat was. "Oi took it off me head, mum, so as It wouldn't get wet," the coachman replied. Another Tradition Exploded. Two Englishmen were resting at tho "Red Horse Inn" at Stratford-on-Avon. One of them discovered a print picturing a low tumbling building underneath which was printed: "The Housa in Which Shakespeare Was Born." Turning to his friend in mild surprise he pointed to the print. His friend exhibited equal surprise, and called a waiter, who assured them of the accuracy of the inscription.

Quia

:by: FRANCIS t( Copyright. 1?C6. CHAPTEi; XIV. (Continued.) The hands of his watch were pointing to S o'clock the following morning when Tom made his way through the throng in the Grand Central station and found a cab. The sailing hour of the Baltic was 10. and he picked his cabman accordingly. "I shall want you for a couple of hours, and it's double fare if you don't miss. 271 Broadway, first," was his 1111p for the driver; and he was speedily rattling away to the down-town address. The taking of the cab was his first mistake, and he discovered it before he had pone very far. Time was precious, and the horse, pushed to the police limit, was too slow. Tom scaled his Irishman. "Get me over to the Elevated, and then go to Madison Square and wait for me." he ordered; and by this change of conveyance he obtained his nail and won back to the Fifth Avenue Hotel by late breakfast time. From that on, luck was with him. The Farleys. father and son, were In the lobby of the hotel, waiting for the others to come down to the cafe breakfast. Tom saw them, confronted them, and went at things very concisely. "I have come all the way from Bostoa to ask for a few minutes of your time, Mr. Farley." he said to tSe president! "Will you give It to me now?" "Surely!" was the genial reply, nd the promoter signed to his son and drew apart with the Importunate one. "Well, go on, my boy; what can I do for you at this last American moment? j some message from your good father? "Xo." said Tom. shortly "It's rrom me, individually. You know in what shape you have left things at home; they've got to be stood on their feet before you go aboard the Baltic." "What's this whafs this? Why. my dear young man! what can you possibly mean?" this in buttered tones of the gentlest expostulation. "I mean just about what I say. Tou have smashed Chlawassee Consolidated, and now you are going off to leave my father to hold the bag. Or. rather, I should say, you are taking the bag Viiih you." "Why, Thomas you must be losing your . mind! You've you've been studying too hard; that's it the term work up there in Boston has been too much for you." "Cut it out, Mr. Farley," said Tom. savagely, all the Gordon fighting blood singing In his veins. "You've got a thing to do, and it Is going to be dono before you leave America. Will you talk straight business, or not?" "And If I decline to discuss business matters with a rude school-boy?" he Intimated mildly. "Then it will be rather the worse for you," was the defiant rejoinder. "Acting for my father and the minority stockholders, I shall try to have you and your son held In America, pending an expert examination of the com pany's affairs." It was a long shot, with a thousand chances of missing. If there was anything criminal In the Farley administration, the evidences were doubtless well buried. But Tom was looking deep into the shifty blue eyes of his antagonist when he fired, and he saw that he had not wholly missed. Kone the less, the president attempted tj carry It off lightly. "What do you think of this, Vincent?" he said, turning to his son. "Here is Tom Gordon our Tom talking wildly about Investigations and arrests, and I don't know what all Shall we give him his breakfast and send him back to school?" Tom cut In quickly before Vincent could make a reply. "If you're sparring to gain time. It's no use, Mr. Farley. I mean what I say, and I'm dead In earnest." Then he tried another long shot: "I tell you right now we've had this thing cocked and primed ever since we found out what you and Vincent meant to do. You must turn over the control of Chlawassee Consolidated, legally and formally, to my father before you go aboard the Baltic, or you don't go aboard!" -Let me understand." said the treasurer, cutting in. "Are you accusing us of crime?" "You will find out what the accusation is, later on," said Tom, taking yet another cartridge from the long-range box. "What I want now Is a plain, straightforward yes or no, if either of you is capable of saying It" The president took his son aside. "Do you suppose Dyckman has been talking too much?" he asked, hurriedly. Vincent shook his head. "You can't tell It looks a little rocky. Of course, we had a right to do as we pleased with our own, but we don't want to have an unfriendly construction put on things." "But they can't do anything!" protested the president "Why, I'd be perfectly willing to turn over my private papers. If they were asked for!" "Yes, of course. But there would be misconstruction. There is that contract with the combination, for example; we had a right to manipulate things so we'd have to close down, and it might not transpire that we made money by doing it But, on the other hand, it might leak out, and there'd be no end of a row. Then there Is another thing: there Is somebody behind this who Is bigger than the old soldier or this young football tough. It's too nicely timed." "But you wouldn't turn the property over to Gordon, would you?" The younger man's smile was a mere contortion of the Ups. "It's a sucked orange," he said. "Let the old man have It lie may work a miracle of some sort and pull out alive. I should call It a snap, and take him up too quick. If he wins out, so much the better for all concerned. If he doesn't why, we left the property entirely In his hands, and he smashed It Don't you see the beauty of It?" The president wheeled short on Tom. "What you may think you are extorting, my dear boy. you are going to get through sheer good-will and a desire to give your father every chance In thj world," he said, blandly. "We discussed the plan of electing him vice prudent with power to act, before we left heme, but there seemed to be some objections. We are willing to give him full control and this altogether apart from any foolish threats you have seen fit to make. Br'ng your legal counsel to Room 327 after breakfast anfl w-3 will go through tne formalities. Are you satisfied?" "I shall be a lot tetter satisfied after the fact," said Tom, bluntly; and ho turned away to avoid me'-tlnj? Major Dabney and the ladles, who were coming from the elevator to join tho two early risers. lie had seen next to nothing of Ardea during the three Boston years, and would willingly have seen more. But the new. manhood was warning hhn that time was short, and that he must not mix business with sentiment So Ardea saw nothing but his back, which, curiously enough, she failed to recognize. Picking up his cab at the curb, Tom had himself driven quickly to the office of the corporation lawyer whose tame he had obtained from Mr. Clark-

KENING LYNDE by Prarcis Lynda XX son the day before, and with whom he had made a wire appointment before leaving Boston. The attorney was waiting for him, and Tom stated the case succinctly, adding a brief of the interview which had just taken place at the hotel. "You say they agreed to your proposal?" observed the lawyer. "Did Mr. Farley indicate the method?" "Xo." "Have you a copy of the by-laws of your company?" Tom produced the packet of papers received that morning from his father, and handed the required pamphlet to Mr. Croswell. 1 "H'm ha! the usuil form. A stockholders' meeting, with a resolution, would be the simplest way out of it; but that can't be held without the published call. You say your father Is a stockholder?" "He has four hundred and three of the original one thousand shares. I hold his proxy." The attorney smiled shrewdly. "You are a very remarkable young man. You seem tr have come prepared at all points." The conference In Room 327, Fifth Avenue Hotel, held while the carriages were waiting to take the steamer party to the pier, was brief and businesslike. Something to Tom's surprise. 'Major Dabney was present; and a little later he learned, with a shock of resentment that the Major was also a minority stockholder In the moribund Chlawassee Consolidated. The master of Deer Trace was as gracious to Caleb Gordon's son as only a Dabney knew how to be. "Nothing could give me' greateh pleasure, my deah boy, than this plan of having youh father In command at Gordonia," he beamed, shaking Tom's hand effusively. "I hope you'll have us all made millionaihs when we get back home again; I do, for a fact, suh." Tom smiled and shook his head. "It looks pretty black. Just now. Major. I'm afraid we're in for rough weather." The leave-takings were brief, and somewhat constrained, save those of the genial Major. Tom pleaded business, further business, with his attorney, when the Major would have had him wait to tell the ladles good-by; hence he saw no more of the tourists after the conference broke up. Not to lose time, Tom took a noon train back to Boston, first wiring his father to try and ke p things in order at Gordonia for another week at a hazards. Winning back to the technical school, he plunged once more into the examination whirlpool, doing hl3 best to forget Chlawassee Consolidated and Its mortal sickness for the time being, and succeeding so well that ho passed vithColors flying. But the school task done, he turned down the old leaf, pasting it firmly In place. Telegraphing his father to meet him, on the morning of the third day following, at the station In South Tredegar, he allowed himself a few hours for a run up the North Shore and a conference with the Michigan Iron king; after which he turned his face southward and was soon speeding to the battle-field through a land by this time shaking to Its lndustrlar foundations In the throes of the panic earthquake. CHAPTER XV. As early as 1 o'clock In the tfternoon, the cldr Helgerson, acting as day watchman at the iron-works, had opened the great yard gates, and the men began to gather by twos and threes and In little caucusing knots on the sand floor of the huge, Iron-roofed foundry building. Some of the moro heedful sat to work making seats of the wooden flask frames and bottom boards; and In the pouring space fronting one of the cupolas they built a rough-and-ready platform out of iho same materials. As the numbers Increased the men fell Into groups, dividing first on tho color-line, and then by trades, with the white miners In the majority and doing most of the talking. "What's all this buzzln' about young Tom." queried one of the men in the miners caucus. "Might' nigh every other word with old Caleb was, Tom, my son. Tom.' Why, I ricollect him when he wasn't no more'n knee-high to a hop-toad!" "Well, you bet your life he's a heap hlghen'n that now," said another, who had chanced to be at the station when the Gordons, father and son, left tho train together. "He's a half a head taller than the old man, an' built like one o Maje' Dabney's thoroughbreds. But I reckon he ain't nothin' but a school-boy. for all o that." "Gar-r-r!" spat a third. "We've had one kid too many In this outfit, all along." "Yes chimed m a fourth, a "huckleberry" miner from the Bald Mountain district. "I don't believe the old man knows, himself. Ho fit around and fit around, talkin' to me, and never said nothin more'n that there was gom to be a meetin here at 2 o'clock, and Tom hl3 son Tom was goln' to speak to it" Tom and his father entered the building from the cupola side, and Tom mounted the flask-built platform whlla the men were scattering to find seats. He made a goodly figure of young manhood, standing at ease on the pile of frames until quiet should prevail, and the glances flung up from the throng of workmen were friendly rather than critical. When the time came, he began to speak quietly, but with a certain masterful quality In his voice that unmistakably constrained attention. T suppose you have all been told why the works are shut down why you are out of a Job in the middle of summer; and I understand you are not fully satisfied with the reason that was given hard times. You have been saying among yourselves that If the president and the treasurer could go oft on a holiday trip to Europe, the situation couldn't be so very desperate. Isn't that so?" "That's so; you've hit it In the head first crack out o' the box." was the swift reply from ft score of the men. "Good; then we'll settle that point before we go any further. I want to tell you men that the hard times am here, sure enough. We are all hepin that they won't last very long; but th fact remains that tho wheels have stopped. Let me tell you: I've Ju3t corne down from the North, and tho streets of the cities up there are full r idle nun. All the way down here I didn't see a fiinsle iron-f urnace in Mast, and those of you who have bom over to South Tredegar know what the conditions are there. Mr. Farley has gone to Europe bf-causo be believes there is nothing to be done hcn and tho facts are on -lis sidr. Fur anybody with money enough to I vo on, thi3 la a mighty good time to take a vacation." There was a murmur of protest, voicing itself generally In a denlil of the possibility for men who wrought with their hands and ato in the sweat of their brows. "I know that." was Tom's rejoinder. "Eome of us can't afford to take a lv-

off; I can't, for one. And that's why we are here this afternoon. Chiawassee can blow in again and stay in blast if we've all pot nerve enough to hang on. If we start up and go on making pig. it'll be cn a dead market and we'll have to sell it at a los3 or stack it in the yards. We can't do the first, and I needn't tell you that it is going Xo take a mignty long purse to do the stacking. It will be all outgo and no income. If " "Spit it out," called Ludlow, from the forefront of tho miner.?' division. "I reckon we all know what's comln." "It's a case of half a loaf or no bread. If Chlawassee blows In again, it will be on borrowed money. If you men will take half-pay in cash and half in promises, the promised half to be paid when we can sell the stacked pig. wo go on. If not, we don't. Talk it over among yourselves and let us have your decision." There was hot caucusing and a fair imitation of pandemonium on the foundry floor following this bomb-hurling, and Tom sat down on the edge of tha platform to give the men time. Caleb Gordon sat within arm's reach, nursing his knee, diligently saying nothing. It was Tom, undoubtedly, but a Tom wh had become a citizen of another world, a never world than the one the ex-ar-tllleryman knew and lived in. HeCaleb had freely predicted a riot as the result of the half-pay proposal; yet Tom had applied the match an J there was no explosion. The buzzing, nrsulng groups were not riotous only fiercely questioning. (To be continued.)

THE RED DAB OF DEATH. Traffic Mork on (be SI eel Skeleton of the Skyscraper. "See that big blob of scarlet paint?" said the engineer as he pointed to a girder high up In the skeleton of the new skyscraper. "That red spot means that one of the men working on the building was killed by the girder sweeping him oft the structure while being put In position." The visitor craned his neck and saw a rough patch of vermilion paint on one t)f the floor girders up on the sixteenth story. "It must he a dangerous life," he said to his engineering friend. "Yes. Those men up there are working under the chanct of instant death at any moment. They'll walk along the topmost girder, 300 feet above the sidewalk a little path of slippery iron five inches wide and will lean outward against tho wind. You or I couldn't do It for a second. "Now and again there's an accident. A chap slips. A worker gets hit by a swinging girder and flung off. Another man takes an Incautious step and falls eff into eternity. The men working near by do their best to get at him If he manages to grab the girder he's falling from, and there are some swift and reckless races with death to get to their comrade at any cost in the five or ten seconds allowed them while strong fingers are slipping away from a slippery beam flange. If the worst happens and the man falls in spite of their efforts, then they apply the dab of red paint, and the ironworkers call it a day. They don't speak much of the man that is gone, as a rule, lie's soon forgotten. The men consider it fate. "You'd think, by the way," went on the engineer, "that the higher up these men worked the more careful they'd become. They arn't particularly careful, but they do guard against the hypnotism of height. One of the men working on a high girder gets paralyzed now and again by a sudden fear that holds him motionless and still on his iron beam. "The men look out for this sort of thing, aDd the remedy Is to distract his attention by a rough blow on ths back or In some cases by exciting him to anger through any means In their power. When the man gets fighting mad he i3 freed from the paralysis of terror or whatever you may choose to call It. He gets up from hi3 girder to make a rush for the other fellow to do him up, and the rcomeni he is safe he Is restrained by the other men. "Whenever you see a skyscraper framework," concluded the engineer, "each dab of scarlet paint on the iron means that some man has come to his death. Every skyscraper' and every bridge is tho monument to some little group of unknown workers, laboring at dizzy heights and dallying with sudden death as part of their doy's work." New York Press. Marriage Her Only Recourse. In factories of the lower type the girl operative Is almost certain of discomfort, nervous exhaustion, disease and premature old age. The lottery of marriage offers her a way of escape from these things, says Robert Haven Schauffler, In Success Magazine. So she escapes, but at some risk to herself, to the community and to tho America of the next generation. How do American factory girls feel about the marriage question? Rath-er dubious. All in all, they consider matrimony a profound failure. So far as I can determine, only three of them In every ten believe that moro marriages turn out happily than unhappily. But there Is another question about which many seem to be still more dubious. That L3 the question of staying single. "Marry?" Helen D. burst for a moment into cynical laughter.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION

CLOUDS TO PREDICT WEATHER. Forecasts Made by Dr. A. de Quervain of Zurich, Are of Utmost Scientific Importance. Cloud weather forecasts mado by Dr. A. de Quervain of Zurich are of the utmost scientific and practical importance. His deductions are based on the familiar cumulus cloud of warm summer days. When reaching heights of sis or seven miles it becomes a trundle cloud. The high floating top assumes the shape of a fleecy ice needlo cloud and extends sideways in anvil shape. The ordinary cumulus cloud undergoes similar transformations at a level of three to four miles, and so does not lead to the formation of thunder storms but merely to the production of fleecy clouds. This sort of cloud can be regarded as a presage of good weather. The veil shaped hooded clouds have not been sufficiently explained. Often they encompass tho top of a quickly rising cumulus cloud, and until recently were thought to be instrumental in the production of hail. They are always found to be intimately connected with existing fleecy clouds, and on the other hand presages bad weather, occurring previous to thunder storms. Even such reliable presages cf thunder storms are the remarkably delicate varieties of fleecy clouds which are mostly found floating about four miles high. On a darker layer there are superposed delicate white heads. These lofty curly heads, generally In the morning, safely predict a thunder storm within twenty-four hours. IJy balloon ascents it was found that the occurrence of these clouds coincides with a violent drop in the temperature. MECHANICAL FAN ON CHAIR Each Movement of Rocker Serves to Make Device Revolve by Means of Gearing. There are several kinds of chair fans, but almost if not quite all of them are of the sort that waves a palm-leaf fan over the head. An Ohio man has invented a revolving fan for connection with a rocking chair that seems to be an Improvement on all of them. This revolving fan is held over the head of the person sitlog in the chair by means of a curved metal support. Running down the back of tho chair Is a driving shait which connects with a speed gearing under tho seat. There are two gearings, a winding shaft and clutch and r. ratchet, the last named operated by rock I arms pivoted I.i one of the rockers of j the chair. As the chair rocks forward j tho ratchet is moved one way and t turns the gearing, which in turn operI ates the driving shaft and makes the I fan revolve. When the chair rocks j backward the ratchet is turned In the I Dpposito direction and the whole Mechanical Chair Fan. movement is reversed. Thus a steady current of air Is kept up as long as the chair is moving. Air and Mental Activity. It is a matter of common observation how a turn in fresh air often has the effect of stimulating the activity of 'the mind as well as of the body. Yet, llen II. Richards at the recent aieeting of the American Chemical association, said there are few parts of the borderland of science less- known than that which pertains to the air we breathe. Tho proper ventilation of rooms preserves a still unsolved problem, not theoretically, but practically. What Is "fresh air" for one Is a "draft" for another, and tho problem Is to reconcile both. Heat and humidity are the most dangerous products of still life, and the mixing in of fresh air is a pr.me necessity. For this purpose of a window opened an Inch at the top Is more effective than one raised a foot at tho bottom. Device for Sterilizing Water. An apparatus for sterilizing water has recently been put on tho market In France, in which ozone is used to äestroy the bacteria. The ozone Is generated by means of electrical dlsrharges, and the gas is introduced Into Ihe water by means of an aspirator. The ozone is led Into a mixing tube screwed to the water faucet, and the water is forced by a small pump through several compartments, so that It is divided Into a number of fine Jets. In this way an intimate mixture Df the gas and water is obtained. The device h so arranged that the ozone Is generated only when the faucet is opened. 1 Inflate Automobile Tires. To inflate automobile tires with a minimum of effort there has been brought out a tank to be carried on a car to receive a portion of the exploded gases from the engine, which thus are compressed and may be turned into the tire through a flexible tube. Odd Superstitions. There is a popular tradition that lightning will not kill anyone who Is asleep. According to one school, the splinters of a tree struck by lightning are an infallible tpecific for the toothache. An amusing superstition used to be cherished by the boys of a Yorkshire village, who believed that if they mentioned tho lightning Immodia'.ely after a flash the seat of their trcusers would bo torn out.

PNEUMATIC HEEL FOR SHOES

Expression "Walking on Air," Hitherto Used Metaphorically, Nov Has Real Meaning. The expression "walking on air," hitherto used metaphorically, has now a real meaning. A New York man has Invented a pneumatic heel for shoes by means of which the wearer of the shoes will actually walk on air. The leather heel of the shoe has a circular opening into which fits a conical metal body open at the bottom, thus leaving an air space around the apex of the cone. Across the bottom of the cone is an elastic rubber heel piece, and on this is a leather treadPneumatic Heel, piece, thus leaving an air spsce inside the cone. These two pneumatic chambers act as cushions and give a resiliency to the step. IMPROVED BEEF-JUICE PRESS French Inventor Arranges Device for Securing Ohe cf Best Foods for Invalids. One of the best foods for Invalids is the Juice of rare beef, which is cut into fragments and pressed out by means of a small hand press. An Inventor in France has recently devised a very simple press for this purpose, which allows of expressing the Juice of a large amount of beef at a time. The press is similar to the ordinary type, be'ng formed of a suitable receptacle with a plunger, which is forced down by a hand screw. Instead of Improved Beef-Juice Press. operating the plunger for each piece of beef, the device Is arranged to take a number of layers of beef, which are separated by disks of corrugated and perforated metal, as shown in the cross sectional view, says Scientific American. The press Is provided with a spout at ono side, through which the juice is drained out into a cup or bowl. After the plunger has been forced down the press may be hung up on a nail, allowing the beef juice to drain out thoroughly. SCIENTIFIC NOTES. The surface of the earth Is said to be 196.971.9S4 square miles. It Is said by anatomists that people hear better with their mouths open. The average hen will lay 400 eggs. nearly one-half of them in her third year. A watch ticks 157.6S0.000 times In a year, and the wheels travel 3,558 miles. Almost any flower can be bleached white by exposure to the fumes of sulphur. It takes 7,000 tons of coal to bring one of the modern liners across the Atlantic. Lavender and rose perfumes are credited with the virtue of being microbe killers. Thirty-eight of every 1,000 Englishmen marry after they are more than 50 years old. The earliest coinage that can be called American was struck off in Massachusetts in 1652. Ten ships, each a century or more old, are still in active service In the Danish mercantile marine. There are about 3,000 wcdding3 every twenty-four hours, taking the en? tire world into consideration. Experiments with the ultra-violent light appear to show that It is more effective for sterilizing liquids than ozone. Paris has thirty-two miles of underground railways and the construction of twenty-three more miles has been authorized. The amount of carbon exhaled from a man's lungs each day. If it could be solidified, would equal that in a lump of coal weighing half a ton. Up to 1789 the chief water works of New York City was In Chatham street, now Tark row. The water was carted about the city In casks and sold from carts. High atmospheric pressure in the caso of persons not doing manual 1pbor has been found to act as a mental stimulus, increasing the impulse to talk. Prof. Lowell announces that he has discovered a new canal 1,000 miles In length on Mars. The canal developed between May and September of last year. It was so cold In New York part of the winter of 1779 that residents In the vicinity were compelled to cut down the tall trees that stood at what is now tho head of Wall street to make kindling wood. A French scientiet has invented an apparatus for sterilizing water, which passes In It In spiral tube's around a long mercury vapor lamp, to utilize the bacteriological properties of the violet and titra-vlolet rays. Scotland's Bank. Scotland has a system ol eight banks Jth 12,000 tranches. Peking's Water System. China's capital, Peking, has supplanted its insanitary wells with a thoroughly modern waterworks system, including a filtration plant. Trees In New Brunswick. New Ilrunswick has about 8,000,000 acres of fir, spruce and pine. Walnuts From France. From the Bordeaux district of Franco 18,500,000 pounds of walnuts were exported during the fall season of 1809.
