Helen leaned back in her chair and Pilled ai the handsome, well-groomed man opposite her with a f Hng as' tluugh s-he were living in a novel, j Who felt uuite sure that the heroine of i a modern "best -Keller" must have some of the same sensations. j For the first tune since she mar- : ried, she was .sitting at the table alone j with a man who was not her husband And the. fact she was not quite sure j as to the proprieties of the situation, i save to it an added glamor. ! An hour ago, as she came out of a j Fifth AventK- shop, she had almost I run into a big. storm-coated hurrying j man. "I beg iout pardon," he murmured j hastily and was about to dash on, ' when he stopped short: ( "Why it can't be!" Her startled gaze changed to a hap- I py recognition as she held out her j hand with a laughing, "I guess it is." j When the first surprise of the meeting w?. ov r, and Will I'aviol had ex-, plained how Ik- was there from Coi- j orado, where he had been living for

the last few ;"ars, he insisted that they go in somewhere and have tea, and "talk " "WHY SHOULDN'T SHE?" After a moment's hesitation, Helen consented. Why shouldn't she have tea with Wiil Furred? The lact t. t they had once been engaged shou.d nr I matter now. lie guided htr through (he crowded lu tel corridor and into a secluded coriur of the "p;i!in room." As he gave his coat, hat and stick if- the waiter, and ran his hand through his hair, in the old familiar way. Ilel'ii was filled with a rush of mr merits. "litre.

stool and unna'ted butter?" She laughed. "Yes, my wants haven't materially changed." ' "No, but everything rise has," he answered gravely. ; There wan a moments pause in i which Helen carefully rearranged the ; silver by her plate. When she raised I her eyes it was to find his fixed on her. ; "Are you happy?" he demanded. j She started. "Why, how can you?" ! "Oh, there's no occasion for 'Sir' or I 'How dare you' I am asking you a perfectly simple question. Arc you happy?" i "As happ as you thought you would i be?" j "Why, you haven't any right" ' "Yes, I think I have. You put me ! aside for a man you thought would j make you happier. That should give me the right to ask you if he has." "Of course, he has! Oh, why do you I talk like this? You will make me sorry 1 came." "Very well," gently, "we will talk ' of something else." And then he kept carefully away ; lrom personalities as he told of his j ranch in Colorado and some mining I interests that had proven most profita- ! Me. There was about him the unconscious force, the power, the indescriba- j ble air of a man of large affairs. And Helen felt a vague sense of ; peace and restfulness in his presence. Mer life had so long been made of a strained nervous attempt to keep War- ! rrn in good humour, and to avoid dis- i pleasure, thnt to lean back now and . be entertained, to Eeel that she was not in an atmosphere of irritability ! and criticism, hut of approval and ad-! miration, was for her a new and en-1

jcyable sensation. Without analyzing all this, she only knew that the moment was a very pleasant one. It was not until she noticed the big clock at the end of the room that she realized how long they had been there. "Oh. I must go. - 1 bad no idea it was so late," as she began to draw on her gloves. Outside he motioned for a taxicab and they were wrirlcd up the avenue.

To the Boys and Girls

SCHOOL has opened again. Some of you are wondering whether you should have returned or gone to work. Don't wonder. Just stay in, school. If you are really in doi:b. think of it this way: Do you want to grow up to be men and women with no more education than you have now? Well, that is the price ;on will pay if you go to work though ou are old enough to work. And about work, look at it this way: Let us suppose you are 15 ears old and that you may live to be 75. A great many do That leaes you sixty ears for labor and earning a living That is four times the number of years you have lived already. Plenty of time, is there not? Now. why do people keep advising boys and girls to go to school as long as they can? For these reasons: 111 The more you learn th better will you work. (2) The more you learn the greater enjoyment will you find in life. (31 The more you learn the more you can help others. (41 With knowledge you are able to keep on getting more knowledge. (5) With knowledge you are able to understand the affairs of the world. (6t And. lastly, with knowledge you will be able some day to help those who are boys and girls when you are men and women.

Do not forget ?h Tnre tU b ! just as many children ta the ork 'when you are rovtti up a thrre ar i now. The present ;enT.t!ii will hT passed aw ar.d you will have to ad;vise them If you leae school now mttii little education.--you will unaM to do this ! Kven now you can rtobably lmijpne i how you would fef ! !f ou could aot j tell a boy or girl what to do. ! I'erhaps you do not understand a!l i these things ! loesn"t that show That you need J more educatiaon? Whater yo.i f.nd m hook, papers ' and other people's ideas that you do j not quite grasp you may know that it means this one thing more rducatton i Suppoe you must work all your M i even if ou have an education what

then? Well, even then education i the most previous thing you can have. Because it preent ru being blind t the world ou live iu. There are books and people, music and pictures, nature and all the arts that make the life of countless working men aa happy as possible. Don't miss these helps to a happv life. Don't be deceived now. ror deceive yourself, abou so important a matter, but make up your minds that the boy who knows and the girl who knows are far and away better off than 'ho who do not know.

THE INVITATION TO DINNER. j When they reached her apartment I he helped her out and stood barehead- i ed as he held her hand.

Mysteries of Science and Nature

By GARRETT P. SERVISS. ! IMAGINE an intelligent being fas-: tened at the centre of a hollow j sphere, suspended in th air and ' having five small openings, or windows, giving unconnected glimpses of 1 the world outside. On of the windows overhead af- i fords him a view of a patch of blue 1 sky across which clouds sometimes ; dritt. and at certain times in the year ! the blinding sun passes over it, while ; almost every night he sees a stream of stars moving slowly across it. , Another, opening in the side of the sphere, enables him to see a part of a ' large tree whose leaves and branches are occasionally shaken by the wind, and as the seasons change, the leaves turn red or yellow and fall off, to reappear some months later. A third window, at the bottom of

the sphere, shows him a piece of ground covered with sand or gravel; a fourth, not far from the third, reveals a portion of a lawn of grass: and the fifth looks out upon a body of water, but does not disclose its shores. The imprisoned being not only notices the succession of day and night, but the difference between Winter and Summer, for snow sometimes covers the patches of ground beneath him ami ice forms upon the water. Our Senses Are Windows in Our Sphere of Ignorance. .Now. suppose that the prisoner has no knowledge of the world around him except such as he can obtain by looking through his five little windows and reasoning upon what he sees. He wiil then he in a situation resembling that of men and women

shut up in the sphere of ignorance that is pierced by the windows of their five senses. If he had a complete series of windows affording connected views of the outer world all around and above and below, he could form a correct idea of the form of that world and the relations of its various parts. But. as it is. he would have to possess a very high degree of intelligence in order to infer. from his disconnected glimpses, the shape of the sky and the ground and the relations between them and their various parts. Now, the five windows of our seni ses give us hardly less imperfect knowledge of the wider world that is presented to us. Each of them is very limited in its range. The sense of sight covers but a small portion of the infi- ; nite gamut of vibrations of which visible light forms a part; the sense ot , hearing extends over only a small part i of another range of vibrations to ' which sound is due. while the senses

all its relations. We can see how-

limited our sense of sight is when we i important ones have not vet

, consider that there are animals which ; see rays of light that are entirely in- ; visible to our eyes. Yet these very j rays form an unbroken series with i those that we do see. i The animals that perceive them are ' simply situated at a different point 1 in the sphere, so that their sight ran- : ges through the w indow of vision in a ! slightly different direction. I Some Animals Often Have More Acute Senses Than We I . Possess. 1 The same is true of hearing, of touch 1 and of smell. Insects hear sounds that are inaudible to us; they also hae or- ' gans or" touch far more delicate than ours; dogs and deer possess a sense of smell that seems almost miracui Ions. But not only do the windows of the five senses afford different glimpses to different creatures, but some animals evidently possess senses entirely different from ours. Birds, seals and ( ants have a sense of direction which , enables them to find their way through ' the air, in the sea and over the ground in a manner imnossible to if -' , ant possessed all of our five senses in

perfection, and his sixth sense in addition, he would be superior to us in his knowledge of nature. A being with a thousand eenses would surpass us almost infinitely in the gathering of knowledge. There is reason for believing that all animal senses have been acquired gradually, and it mav be that the most

been de

veloped. We get a glimpse of thes? possibilities in the strange phenomena of mesmerism, clairvoyance and telepathy. Electricity. a we become familiar with it. is teaching us still more on this subject. Who knows out, after ages of use. electricity may open for us another window in the walls of ignorance and develop another sense of which we do not at present dream? Our Aim Must He to Open Other Windows of Sense. All the efforts rf science hitherto have been directed to the bringing together and comparinc of the impressions made by our five limited senses. In this way we arrive at more or less cfrtain conclusions concerning thines that are not directly appreciable by the senses. Put this is a very Indirect and impertect road to knowledge. The linal result o; all our progress ought to be. and doubtless will be, to open other windows or widen those already existing, so that eventually the universe will be directly known to us with a clearness and completeness of wlrh at present we can form no conc piion.
