'K,s fi ,HB word* echoed idly in Brunton's mind. Softly the thrill of the dis­ tant music rose and fell upon the ! still air. Then an | a f f e c t e d U o g h stung his ear, and B run ton turned I afresh toward soli­ tude. To-morrow h e Would leave England to join his remi­ ttent, and few seemed to know or care. For the first time he felt constrained Jto mourn the lack of a near relative <to fuss and weep over his departure. His coming to Mrs. Derrick's "at tome" had been a mistake, too. Taking out a cigar he lit a match, -Which a sportive zephyr playfully ex­ tinguished.

The gaiety and glitter of the London night •delighted and amazed her. At Picca­ dilly clrCus Sylvia was entranced; in high wall encircling hev grandmother's grounds opened on a quiet side road. Thereafter the stars witnessed a sol­ emn compact that, that day three years, at the same hour, Sylvia would unlock the green door to gire Brunton entrance. • * 4' * '*> -?,-r' «• «*- 4k--• •*- *• Athwart the little green door the moonlight glinted softly, and Brunton, standing in near the Shadow of an Hex, would willingly have dropped the com­ ing hour out of his life. Since his return to England, a few days before, the memory of this ap­ proaching assignation had persistently occurred to him. As a man of honor he knew be dare not shirk it. And yet, how painful to be forced to see Sylvia, to look into those innocent, trustful eyes--and confess how he had changed, and to tell her boldly that their meet­ ing had proved but an Incident, of no moment In the ordering of his life. He must undeceive her as tenderly as possible, speak of Eleanor regret­ fully, at least not let Sylvia guess how entirely happy their union was, or that she, Sylvia, had long€eas<M to be aught, but a pretty, sentimental remembrance to him. Even as he schooled himself a dis­ tant clock struck the hour, and with the first faint chime came the stealthy sound of an opening lock., She was there! Gently turning the handle he passed through the green door and entered Lady Martingale's garden. Beside the great stone basin of the old fountain stood Sylvia. Her eyes met his tar questioning ap­ peal, and for a moment a mad rush of pity, romance, affection, call It what you will, overcame him, and, spring­ ing forward, he caught her hands. "Sylvia r* "Yes." «*You had not forgotten?" , "No. And your ¥ "I am here." After the greettag there feil a sense of constraint, which Brunton realised was not all of his own making. She was lovely, even more lovely than of yore--taller, too, added something in her expression that was new to him. "You--you have changed. Are not the same.. Of course you look older and bronzed. I don't mean that But there is something else--your man­ ner " < 'Sylvia," he began, breathlessly, "three years Is a long time " ' *Oh, yes; .Is It not?" she interposed, eagerly. "And, you know, one's circumstances alter--new people Intervene." "Yes, yes; so they do." Her unexpected quiescence was dis­ concerting, but he doggedly stumbled on. "And, Sylvia, I wish to tell you--I know it seems mean and cruel--hut last year I met Eleanor, and----" "Hash!" whispered Sylvia, suddenly raising her hand and turning in an at­ titude of listening expectancy toward the lighted windows of the house visi­ ble across the expanse of lawn.

Langley has invented a real flying machine and the most powerful engine of war known to civilised man. So tnighty Is the power of the little forty-seven-pound engine of the dying machine which he has originated that no model army could [ withstand it A fleet of ironclads could be destroyed by It in fifteen minutes. Coast defenses would be broken up like rail fences before a tornado if once the aerodrome passed over them and dropped bombs into their midst At least this is what Professor Langley's friends assert For three years past Professor Lang-, ley has devoted himself to the prob-' lem of aerial navigation. He claims to have solved it at last and to have built a machine which will render American; armies invincible by means of bombs thrown from his airship. He calls It the aerodrome. This machine will be. not less valuable in peace than in war. A man can settle himself to sleep In, the car of one of these flying machines In the evening at Chicago, and wake up to find himself in New York by morn-j ing. Air travel will be more safe than transportation by land. The aerodrome can dart upon a sinking ship and snatch its passengers from peril. The! airship, it Is claimed, is as completely under control of its pilot as a locomo­ tive la under the guidance of an engi­ neer. The aerodrome which Professor Langley has constructed and tested' cost $17,000. This sum included the cost of numerous experiments. The machine can probably be duplicated for less than $10,000. Professor Lang-i ley says his perfected aerodrome is thet result of between twenty-five and thir­ ty unsuccessful experiments with! various engines and motors. His workj has been carried on In the East with the utmost secrecy. The professor was" convinced that an airship could bet constructed which would fly by Its own power. The problem was to in-! vent a machine that could depend up-' on Its momentum for support and at the same time furnish considerable; carrying capacity above that required, to sustain itself. After ten months of' effort a flying machine was actually: launched in 1897. In the first experi-i ment It worked well. Subsequent: trials showed that It was not and couldj not in that shape be put under perfect control. The aerodrome rasembles a metal • • V from a woman d go to the heart of What a deal that p means!

And this companionship Is no more possi­ ble between two women than It Would be between two parrots. It is formed of ft man and of a woman. I am very conventional, my friend; I hope you are, too. I could not love any woman in the wopld as I could a man, and S couldn't sacrifice for any weman In the world what I would sacrifice for a man. The good God made us that way. He didn't make as to waste our lore tetters and our coquetries and our hearts on other women; they wesse In­ tended for men. S "Sometimes the man takes the heart and cares for it and loves it until It Tjeats with pride and joy and love for him; sometimes he takes it and slights it and forgets It and hurts it, and it beats with love for bim Just the same; and the brain that belongs to it comes and says to It, "He doesn't think, he doesn't know," and the heart excuses, and grows broader and more charitable and kinder; and some day, when it ceases to beat everybody knows then what a dear, loving heart It was, and most of all Its loss is felt by the man who neglected It" Novelties in Neckwear.

The severity of the Bernardines of Anglet, Sisters of St Bernard, most re­ sembles that of the 'famous Trappist monks. The nuns take a vow of per­ petual silence. The nunnery is situ­ ated In the southwest corner of France, on the borders of SpalBi aud under the shadow of the Pyrenees. It was found­ ed by the Abbe Gestae. Every hour of the day Is carefully mapped out. Each time the clock of the monastery chimes the hour, every nun falls on her knees and spends a. few moments in prayer. Out In the fields. It Is mar­ vellous to see how well the oxen know these chimes. Directly they hear them they stop Instinctively, starting on their way again the instant the Sisters rise from their knees. The Bernar­ dines have no fear of death. Indeed, on the contrary, they long for it. Wheu the first Superior of their order lay dy­ ing, she had an interview wtth one of the nuns, who Implored her to inter­ cede on her behalf in heaven that she; too, might die soon. The Superior smiled, and in an inspired voice said that in a month her request should be granted. On the day of the burial, just as the coffin was to be closed, the bun drew near the body, whispered in Its ear, and slipped a note into the dead hand, imploring the Superior not to forget ber promise. Just a month from that date the nun, too. passed sway and so the promise was fulfilled. dm ik"- Deal, Dumb and an Idiot.

As the vessel gains head way and te thus maintained in the air by its own momentum, the gas in the balloon Is again gradually liquefied k,iid the balloon is drawi down closely over the top of the car in order to present as little surface for wind obslauetion to the movement of the flying machine as possible.--CM- c s g o I n t s r O c e a n . ; • Many Bells Used by ̂ The farmers really use more bells than any other class of people or any trade oc industry.

The Yonnsr Housekeeper. "The true advice to give a young, restless housekeeper Is to put more mind into her work; to find In her daily occupation studies interesting and important which will surely con­ duce to her own benefit as well AS to the well-being of her household," writes Katharine Roich in the Ladles' Home Journal. "She may easily fill her mind with the annoyances, the ^disagreeable and monotonous details, the confinement the interruptions of the dally life, but by intelligent use *>f her time, by systematizing ber work, by simplifying her manner of "life, and by resolutely seizing her op­ portunities she will find time for fa­ vorite studies and for Interests outside <of home. Let a woman gird up her intellect and courage--she needs both --to the high office she accepts. Let < her not be anrious, but cheerful, striving every day to make her work more complete, more perfect, and to win from the daily care the refresh­ ment which she needs. While she •may be often weary she will not then be restless nor discontented, realizing that she has secured in her home some of the things best worth striving for. And her friends will see in her own intellectual life and character a richness and sweetness of which she may be quite unconscious. For In the quiet of her home, with its think­ ing and planning, and working, the bearing of many cares, and loving, unselfish ministrations for others, there will spring up in herself sin­ cere, generous sympathies, sound judgments, and cultivation of mind and spirit which will prove her best reward."

I saw one at a summer opera the other night who made me rage. She was naturally a pretty girl and had a fine figure, but one forgot all about those things when he came close to her. The natural tin tings of the flesh were not to be seen and the tender curve of the cheek was bedizened with rouge and paint as were the pretty Hps.

Oeaeral Davit Report* Appalling Cona dttlon In Porto Kico. The appalling conditions existing in Porto Rico were made more fully known to the Whr Department Wednesday by Cfon. Davis in a dispatch which says the deaths outright in the island will reach 2,000, while many are dying daily from Injuries and privations. According to a special cable from San Jfum, Porto Bico, hundreds of people are dying of starvation on the stricken isl­ ands. The dispatch gives new details of the recent hurricane and describes the tetriUe scenes witnessed in the Bayamon and Afeeibo districts. Arecibo was de­ vastated by the hurricane and later was flooded by the Arecibo and Manatl riv­ ers. Two hundred bodies have already been recovered and it is thought that hundreds more of persons missing have been swept out to sea by the flood. The town was inundated to a depth of six feet When the water subsided dead bodies were found everywhere. They were buried where they were found. The town is now filling up with starving peo­ ple from the rural districts. At Naransito twenty persons were kill­ ed and hundreds are homeless and starv­ ing. Moravis is totally destroyed. At Giales, Barcelonia and Cayey hundreds of people lost their lives and the present condition of the population of the towns is pitiable. It is impossible to estimate the loss of life and property In the coun­ try districts. Bvery river is swollen and passage is impossible. In the towns the stench of the decay­ ing bodies bnder the ruines of hemes and psblio buildings is almost an bearable. In Yabucoa both of the Government physi­ cians were caught in the wreckage and wounded. The town will be set on fire in order that an epidemic may be avoid­ ed.
