I "I heard you dear," sweetly re?‘ lponded Mrs. Peel; " and now. listen} to me. I have accepted Herr Schmidt's' offer. and he will enter the adjoining' house as tenant to-morrow." ' “Not if I know it, madam l" shouted; Phineas. jumping from his chair and! bringing his fist down on the table. "00 you think I am to have Rhyd cot- tage turned into a menagerie, and my garden into a bowling wilderness? The house may remain tenantless for- ever, but Herr Schmidt and his mon- etrosities shall not enter there." “ Herr Schmidt,'my dear. is merely a naturalist." "I know it!" stormed Phineas. I've heard of these plaguey naturalists beâ€" fore. I’ve no desire to come down stairs some fine morning to find aringâ€" tailed monkey sitting on the window- Illl, acting as referee while the kan- garoos and crocodiles play leapfrog over the flower beds. No, madaml No naturalists for Phineas Peell" ‘ Pretty Mrs. Peel never allowed her temper to get the better of her. She laughed softly at her husband's fears and did not alter .h‘er determination in the least. " Has it slipped your memory. P'hinâ€"I neas," she asked, “that Rhyd cottage is aportion of my property? If 1' choose to let it to a naturalist-even though he be a foreignerâ€"I am perâ€" fectly justified in doing so.” This was ‘true enough, and Phineas calmed down. " Herr Schmidt’s collection of mon- strosities. as you call it," went on Mrs. Peel, " probably contains nothing more dangerous than a death's head moth in a bottle. Anyhow. I have no inten- tion to disappoint him.” ” But Iâ€"â€"â€"â€"" “ You will treat (him with the respect due from one gentleman to another, Phineas," broke in Mrs. Peel. " And now. dear. we’ll dismiss the subject." Phineas wasâ€"though at times he doubted itâ€"a lucky fellow. He had carâ€" ried off‘a young and handsome woman from a host of suitors. \V'hly Mary Marsden had chosen to bestow her hand and fortune on such a plain, everyâ€"day sort of fellow as the diminutive Phineas Peel was alâ€" ways a mystery to her acquaintances. The wedding was an accomplished fact before 'her relatives had recovered from the shock cause by the announce- ment of lher engagement. Mary appeared to be happy 'enough, too. Phineas, taken as a whole, was not a bad sort of a fellow. He was jealous, that was true, but his wife came to regard that as an extra proof of his devotion. l cottage been an aged, decrepit, brok- cndown old man. Phineas would have stretched out the right hand of fellow- ship. But alas! Hea‘r Schmidt was young and handsomeâ€"far too hand- some, Phineas thought. "Very well, Mary," mid Phineas, taking his but from the peg and mak- ing for the door; “you have overruled me as usual, and must be prepared for the consequences. In less than a week we shall how the house and garden overrun with every variety of reptile -â€"from the beastly lizard to the boa constrictor! - l And Phineas stalked indignantly forth with the merry laughter of his wife ringing in his ears. II. A month or more had named, and so far the fears of Phineas had proved to be groundless. Herr Schmidt's "monstroitics" had been keit well within bounds, and as yet Mr. ’eel had not seen so much as a strange cater- pillar in his garden, which never look- ed better. However, he was not happy. He had taken an aversion to the new tenantl from the first, and would never lbe satisfied until he had got rid of him. "(.‘onfound the fellow," muttered Phineas, one evening, as he sat on an upturned bucket behind the pea.- Iticks, "he's irowling about on the athcr side of lhe hedge again. Hope he won't catch sight of me, for l”m about tired of his oily tongue, and eternal smile. Hullol what thc dcucc Is the. meaning of this?" _ Down tlic gardcn path tripped Mrs. Peel.

' It was soon evident that this was not the first chat indulged in over the boundary hedge. 'l‘hough Phineas strained his ears. he could not catch the drift of the conversation. Like a flash. ho rcmcmbercd that Mary had often of late tokens stroll in the gar- den at dusk. Was this the explana- tion!

German vulture in ‘ the neighborhood," he volunteered. lrn- pressively, “and-I'm going to bag ham at the first opportunity." However, as nothing short of an earthquake would have. induced the old gun to go off in any circumstances -â€"and Phineas had made assurance doubly sure by dropping in the shot first and powder afterwardâ€"the "vul- ture" in question was not likely to be seriously damaged, and Mary content- ed herself with expressing a hope thlaft her husband would not hurt him- se . On the following evening Phineas took up his old position in the garden. with murder in his heart. .Herr Schmidt, however, did not put in_ an appearance. After waiting some time. Phineas re-entered the house and reared his duck gun up in the hall in a conspicuous position. He had almost decided to run up to town and consult his brother John, the detective, -with a. view to having the movements of Herr Schmidt watched. when he was started by the click of the letter box. A scrap of paper lay on the mat, Picking it up Phineas glanced at. it, turned deadly pale, then hurried lnto the garden. Scribbled in lead pencil on dirtEy paper was the following: . “ eel has discovered everything. We have nota moment to lose, and must clear out to-night. The front door is unsafel \Vill meet you at the backâ€"10.30 sharp." There was no signature. "Good iousl" ejaculated Phineas after rea ing- the note for the third time. "I’d no idea. matters had gone so far. Oh, yes Mr. Schmidt," he added, grimly, “I‘ll meet you at 10.30 sharp." III. . It was about 10.45 and raining heav- ily. Phineas Peel, seated on awall overlooking the Rhyd cottage, with his (look gun laid across his knees, was beginning to feel uncomfortable. ' "The note said 10.30," he muttered “It must be after that time now. What's that?" Phineas had - caught the mend of heavy feet moving cautiously over the gravel. He grasped his gun and peered into the gloom, but could d15- tlngulsh nothing. Suddenly he heard voices, evidently at the front of the house.- He was about to quit his position under the impression that Herr Schmidt was leaving by the front door after all, who none of the back windows was cau- tiously raised, and the lithe form of the naturalist dropped lightly to the ground. Creeping along the side of the wall on which Phineas lay, he presented an excellent mark. Mr. Peel, however, could not bring himself to shoot a man down in cold blood. He would give him a chance. “Stop, you scoundrell" he shouted. The effect of the challenge was scarcely what Phineas had anticipated. Herr Schmidt darted forward and seized the barrel of the gun. He was much the stronger of the two,‘ and Phineas was pulled from the wall in a twinkling. Lying on the broad of his back on the gravel, in a. half-dazed condition, he saw the tall form of Schmidt standing over him with the gun raised. “Keep your tongue still, you fool," he.hissed, “or I'll brain you. Now, quick, help me over the wall." . Phineas hesitated, but the threaten- ing attitude of the other induced him to rise. However, he had no intention elrted all his strength, and pulled Schmidt bodily from the wall. He fell flat on his face, and before he could recover himself, Phineas :jumped on his back and seized him round the throat, emitting a yell thatwoul have done infinite credit toa Sioux Indian. The next moment Phineas was dragged off from behind, and found himself in the clutches of a burly member of the local police force. Four or five others seized Schmidt, who struggled in vain to free ’himself. "\Vhat am I arrested for?" Phineas. “There's your man!" Phineas would no doubt have been led off with the other prisoner but for the timely arrival on the Scene of the last person in the world he had ex- pected to sectâ€"his brother John! I. “Here, what on earth is the meaning of all this?” he demanded, when, as the result of John Peel's interference, ‘he found himself frce. ( John stayed behind a minute or two gasped to explain that Herr Schmidt, the nut- uralist," and Edward Harpenâ€"the no- torious forger, who had defied New Scotland Yard for the past six weeks ,-â€"were one and the same. _ “It was a smart dodge of Harper's," said John Peel, "and he might have got clear away but for that clever wife of yours, Phineas. Mary suspected the man from the first, and supplied me from time to time with! information. It is to her entirely that the credit of the capture is due. Tell her I'll call round and thank her my- self twnorrow. By the by. the gang of which he was the head got wind of our intentions, and a man was de- spatched with a warning. Harper doesn't appear to have received it." Then Phineas began to understand things a little more clearly. “I suppose this will be it," he re- marked, producing the note and hand- ing it to his brother. "You see, the messenger left it at the wrong door, and bâ€"erâ€"l thought I might as well see the fun." For some time after Phineas was of the opinion that heâ€" had made a fool of himself. Lately, however, he has taken a different view of the matter, and is nevnr tired of relating how be literally "dropped on" Harper, the forgcr. alias Schmidt, the naturalist next door. s . I. m HARDENED IIY ELECTRICITY. A process of hardening steel by means of an electric current traversing the redhot metal has been invented in France. Experiments made with-tools thus hardened are said to have given surprising results. A sharpened table knife cut aonweiglnlrinch iron wire as if it and been a string. Iron bars Were easin out with a circular saw. Drills pierced cast steel plales with twice the speed and ease of ordinary drills. and in all the experiments the tools showed no injury. ‘for metallic lathing in the construction valuable- WOODEN LATHING DOOMED A Growing inc-mum Prom Nearly 111 Architects for Iran or steel Devices. One industry which is declining in the United States is the manufacture of wooden laths It is not owing to any general decrease of building, nor to business depression, but to the grow- ing demand from nearly all architects of the partitions of modern buildings Metallic lathing is used less with a view to making the buildings fire- proof than to making the walls and partitions stronger and less likely to crack. Ordinary wooden laths are nail- ed to the studdi'ngs while still green or wet from exposure to the weather. It would make no difference if they were perfectly dry, for the mortar would quickly moisten them. Then comes the drying out process. As the laths dry they twist and turn, crackâ€" ing the mortar and weakening the wall. The wooden lath is doomed exâ€" cept for the construction of the cheap- est kind of buildings. The advantages of any form of metal 131.118 are so great that architects have no difficulty in persuading prospective builders to use them to the exclusion of wood. The evolution of the lath is rather interesting. In the early days, just after the log cabin era. in this coun- try, a plastered wall was looked up- on ass. luxury. Btuddings were hewn from hard wood, and the laiths were riven by hand from the straightest grained timber obtainable, and occa- sionally dressed with the drawanfe or spokeshave when too thick for use. They were fastened to the studding With hand-made naIils costing two or three shillings a. pound, and before the rough coat or mortar and hair was put on, the lathed wall presented a rug- ged appearance, having , iNO ST'RIAIIGHT LINES anywhere, and showing chinks vary- ing from a more crack up to fully an inch when a crooked lath came in Juxtaposition to a moderatelfilstraight one. . Then came the sawed ths, each one ripped from the edge of an inch and a quarter plank with a. hand saw. Next came the laths, made one at a time with circular saws, and then came the gang-saw machine, Which made scores of laths at one cut. These laths were cut from the log with a. shaving knife _and chopped into widths as toothpicks and ought lighters are. The next innovation was a metal lath made of thin sheet-iron strips, ribbed or having the edges turned over to give strength. Perforated sheet iron wrth ragged punctures, in which the mortar would clinc’h, succeeded the strips; and wire netting lat-hing was introduced. It was generally strengthened thh ribs of coarser wire, and is still exten- sively used, not only for partitions, but for concrete floors as We 1. - Within a. few years scores of patents have been granted for metallic lath- ing, and in almost every instance they ' have been for making sheet steel plates provided with slits of perforations. to hold the mortar. Several varieties are designed to get more surface out of_the metal sheet than by mere perforating, and are known as expanded metal lathâ€" ing. One company has had almost a monopoly of expanding metal in this manner by the use of an ingenious maâ€" chine upon which it has patents [here and abroad. The sales run up to con- siderably more than one million dol- lars a. year in the United States, it is said. This lath is said fully to dou- ble the width of the original plate from which it is cut. Recently another company has produced a machine '. by which even more expansxon is gamed by an ingenious form of cutting and corrugating. All this 1s clear gain, and the effort is being directed to get- ting the greatest sti fness w1th the lightest metal, which means more gain to the makers. _â€"_â€".â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€" I FACIAL EXPRESSION.

Cut flowers may be kept fresh by adding salt to the wa- ter. \Veak ankles should be rubbed with solution of salt, water and alcohol. Bose colds, hay favor and kindred affec- tions may be much relieved by using fine salt, like snuff. Dyspepsia. heart- burn and indigestion are relieved by a cup of hot water in which a small spcon~ fullI of salt has been melted. Salt and water wifl sometimes revive an uncon- scious person when hurt, if brandy or other remedies are not at hand. Hem- orrhage from tooth pulling is stopped by fillling the mouth with salt and water. \Vea-k and tired eyes are refreshed by bathing with warm water and salt. Public speakers and many noted sing- ers use a wash of suit and water before and after using the voice, as it strengthens the organs of the throat.
