Yes, from the very first Mollie had disliked and distrusted Leonard Bar- lowe, and he had cordially returned the feeling. With her mother's sec­ ond marriage all her troubles began, and the child would often sob herself to sleep at night, feeling neglected and forlorn, missing the tender voice, the lullaby ever since she could remem­ ber. Afterwards Mollie grew to know that her mother had not forgotten her, but that her stepfather, jealous and morose, resented even the affection she bestowed to her own child, and timid and clinging by nature, she had not the strength of character to oppose him in any way. Mollie was sent to school soon after the birth of her half-sister, Kate, and though she spent the holidays at home, Chalfont House was never the same place again. Looking at the past through the softening vista of time, Mollie knew that her woes had not been imaginary. She would have been fond enough of the little usurper, who seemed to have pushed her out of her place, had she been allowed, for she was neither Jealous nor revengeful; but Mr. Bar- lowe, while spoiling Kate until she was unbearable, resented the least at­ tention shown to Mollie, and the nolidays had been misery, school a refuge. She gradually grew to know that her mother was miserable, that she only dare caress her in private and that she feared her handsome dark husband more than she loved him. How well she remembered the last time she had any talk with her mother! It was the night before her return to school, and her mother came Into her room as she was preparing for bed, and, dosing the door, took her into her arms as if she were a baby again, kissed and cried over her in a passionate, heart-broken way, saying that whatever happened to the future, she must never doubt her poor mother's love, that save her dead fa* ther. no one was so precious to her, no one; and that her last thought and prayer would be for her own Mollie. It was not until her death a few months later that Mollie understood %hat she meant, Chalfont and a good income had been Mrs. Barlowe's pri­ vate property, and she left them to her husband for his lifetime, and then to her daughter Kate, no mention be­ ing made of ber elder child, save that, failing them, she would be her heiress. This had not been her mother's wish--Mollie knew as well as if she had been told--and the fierce anger burned in her heart, not for the loss of the property, but for what Mr. Barlowe bad made her mother suffer. Oh, how she hated him as she saw his fine eyes roving with an air of pro­ prietorship round her mother's room! In her childish heart ahe felt that be had got what he had schemed for, and it mattered little to him that he had ruined her mother's and her life to obtain it. They lived at open warfare during the months before she was sent to Hanover; and it was an additional blow to find that he had constituted himself her guardian in her mother's place. His motive was not far to seek. Mollie was her father's heiress, and though he could not touch the princi­ pal, a handsome allowance was made for the care of Colonel L'Estrange's daughter. And now he, too, was dead, and she was going back to live at Chalfont House with her little half-sister and. Madam Dubois! Were brighter time* coming, she wondered, as, in company with the English governess, she once more set foot on her native land, or was Madame Dubois. but a repetition of Leonard Barlowe? It was a bleak March day . when tha governess put her charge into a first class carriage at one of the great Lon­ don stations, and reluctantly bade her farewell, after carefully scertaining that two elderly ladies in the further corner were going the same journey, and Reverton would be reached in lit­ tle over an hour, where Madame Du­ bois was sure to be at the station. So she kissed the pet and pride of SeCkcuuOrfo SCuSui nltil tCHrflil eyes, and harried away to catch her own train, while Mollie sank back in the corner of her carriage, sorry to part with her last friend, yet excited at the prospect before her. C „ For a little while she occupied her­ self in watching one familiar object after another appear, as the express left the chimneys behind and ruahed through the green country. It even amused her to see the great open fires in the waiting rooms ones more as they flashed through the stations. •Then she suddenly became aware that the two ladies were talking very hard, and she heard her own name. "You will find Reverton looking much the same, Louise," the elder was saying. "The people alter, but not the place. Why, you have not been here since the year poor Mrs. L'Es­ trange married Mr. Barlowe, have you?" "No; how pretty she was! I know no one liked him; you thought him an adventurer. What has he done since her death?" "Oh, he feathered his nest well- got the whole of her property for him­ self and his wretched little girl, to tlfT exclusion of the elder child! Everj one knew that his poor wife was hor­ ribly afraid of him, and he had it all his own way. Well, I must not say more, for he was hurried to his ac­ count with all his sins upon his head, And no time to repent him of his wickedness." "What do you mean?" "Did you not see it in ths papers? ft was the talk of Reverton! He was found murdered in his stady nearly ' CHAPTER n. Murdered! Oould this awful word, so full of terrible meaning, apply- to her stepfather, who she had last seen standing at the door of Chalfont Boose, full of life and health, holding the fretful Kate by the hand? Mollie, sat up and turned hastily to the two ladles, the color fading from her face. "My name Is L'Estpange," she stam­ mered nervously, looking from one to the other. "I am Mrs. Barlowe's eld­ est" daughter. I thought I ought to tell you. I----I did not know that he died like that; no one told me. Are you sure?" Mollie could see the ladles were gaz- marks; but she was too eager to learn the truth to mind that, or anything else. Why had she been allowed to, come home in ignorance of the trag­ edy that hung undiscovered over Chal­ font House? In the pause before any one spoke she was not conscious of feeling any sorrow for her dead step­ father, nor had these ladies expressed any; but she did feel a thrill of horror at the thought of the crime that h id been committed in the house where she was born--her mother's house-- and could not repress a shudder. Tfien, the first lady got up, and, coming over, sat down heavily in the seat opposite to her. "I am heartily sorry you have heard me, my dear,' she said kindly. "It is a lesson to me not to talk of my neighbors in the train. But are you really Amy Barlowe's child? Yes, looking at you, I can see your dear father. Your parents were my dearest friends. You do not remember me, but surely you have not forgotten Reggie and Joyce?" Mollie started, and, leaning forward, turned her beautiful, miserable grey eyes on the speaker with dawning rec­ ognition. "*es--yes, I do now," she cried. "You are Mrs. Anstruther; you live in that pretty white bouse near the church. Oh, Mrs. "Anstruther, about tnis dreadful thing about Mr. Bar­ lowe. Madame Dubois wrote that he died suddenly, and she was now my guardian; but how did it happen? Why was I not told?" And she glanc­ ed imploringly at the pleasant mother­ ly face now regarding bar with - # troubled frown.

About two years before Mr. Sawyer of Wisconsin, retired from the senate his mail one morning contained a touching letter from a man In Mary­ land, whose home had just been brightened by the arrival of a bounc­ ing boy. The fond parent went on to tell that the boy would be named Philetus Sawyer Jones, and expressed the hope that the child would grow up an honor to the name and the pos­ sessor of the fine traits of character that distinguished the generous heart­ ed man whose name would be borne by himself. Senator Sawyelr went to the senate chamber with a warm glow in his heart and the determination to send that fond parent a nice big check. He felt so good that he showed the letter to Senator Allison. The Iowa man chuckled as he read it, and pro­ duced a letter almost Identical, except that the young prodigy was. to be named William Allison JoneB. It was too good to keep, and they told the story to Senator Edmunds of Vermont. That stately old gentleman melted sufficiently to smilingly produce a let­ ter of similar purport. Then there en­ sued a comparison of senatorial notes, showing that the youthful Marylander had been fairly loaded with distin­ guished names from Justin Morril Jones to Don Cameron Jones. That Marylander infant received no birth­ day present. , :.*< ^-u.*. - • 1 '-'tin. '..ty,;1 V'-. CRUELTY IN Tblti, Cross Words Kill a Bird, la Its Oift, A bird which receives a scolding Is made as miserable and unhappy there­ by as a child would be. To illustrate Our Dumb Animals tells the following story: A Massachusetts woman had, a few years ago, a beautiful canary bird which she dearly loved, and to which she had never spoken an unkind word In her life. One Sunday the church organist was away, and she stopped after church to play the organ for th-a Sunday school. In consequence of this the dinner had to be put off an hour, and when she got home her good hus­ band was very hungry, and he spoke to her unkindly. The things were put on and they sat down in silence at the table, and presently the bird began to chirp at her as it always had to attract her attention. To shame her husband for having spoken so, she turned to the bird, and for the first time in her life spoke to it in a most violent and angry tone. In less than five minutes there was a fluttering in the cage. She sprang to the cage--the bird was dead. Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the late vice-president of the United States, says that she once killed a mocking bird in the same way. It annoyed her by load singing. To stop It she spoke in a violent tone, and pretended to throw something at it, and within five minutes It was dead. \ ' Bufllnt Method* of Instruction.

The civil engineer* employed by the United States government have just completed the measurement of this globe of ours. The task has been a* hard one. For over thirty years it has been in progress and it has cost the taxpayers the neat little sum of $500,- 000, mors or less. The coast and geodetic survey corps have had the matter in charge and they have ar­ rived at absolute accuracy. One result attained has been the determination of the fact that this earth 3s not as great a ball as has been commonly supposed. Our old mother's diameter through her great waistban.i, or equator, is discovered to be 7,926 miles; her height, from pole to pole, 7,899 miles. In other words; she is broader than she Is tall. Laymen will wonder how Uncle Sam's engineers coiild have accomplished sueh a seemingly Impossible task as the ac­ tual measurement of the earth's dimen­ sions. In order to determine the great sphere's girth or circumference, for in­ stance, it would at first blush appear necessary to circumnavigate It over the equator, and across the poles, mak'ng careful measurements step by step. The equator was not touched, however, during the measurements, and needless is it to state that the rrales were not crossed. The measurement of a moun­ tain's height does not require that its summit be climbed. If so we would as yet be in Ignorance of the Insurmounta­ ble altltutudes of our loftiest peaks. Trigonometry, employed in mountain measurements, was utilized also in this difficult computation of the earth's di­ mensions. The greatest task of the coast and geodetic survey, beside which all others paled into insignificance, was the meas­ urement of the great arc's precise length In miles from ocean to ocean. Not until after twenty-eeven years of constant field work was it proved that a chalk line stretched from Cape May to Point Arena and snapped against o'd earth's crust would leave a white mark 2,626.6 miles long. And, by the way, it is along this very line that our center of population seems to have wended its course westward. The distance was measured, not along a straight tape, but along a narrow network of trian­ gles, such as the surveyor traces in his measurements of great distances. It may be difficult of belief that the num­ ber of localities whose latitudes and longitudes were precisely established within this network ^ •n'-'-riiiiiiiin'riiiirii veyors' instrtM»*ilfc ^ eastern country where nature had not supplied mountain peaks for aid in such feats of measurement as Just described. 1 The hlgftest combination of towers was erected across Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Many of these structures were more than 100 feet in height. One at Green. Ind., held an Instru­ ment 152 feet above the earth's sur­ face. Each of these lofty edifices ap­ peared to be one huge windmill tower erected within another. Movements of the signaler or observer, standing upon the top of the outer structure, did not disturb the target or telescope mounted upon the platform of the Inner, In wincey weather canms screens covered the windward sides of the outer towers, and thus prevented the vibration of the instruments' sup­ ports. As further protection against exceptionally high winds, the towers were guyed on all si dee with wire ca­ bles. In the Kansas cyclone belt screens of thin drilling, such as would tear in the face of a fierce wind, were substituted for those of canvas, which latter were liable to carry the entire skeleton structure of a becycloned tower to the ground before giving away. At Still Pond, Md., was erect­ ed a curious tower 120 feet tall, which supported a target to the height of 275 feet. This target was the highest above ground of all these employed. Between such towers the surveyors, signaled over distances varying be­ tween ten and forty miles. We seldom hear of an American mirage. Yet daring this signaling it often occurred that one tower, abso­ lutely invisible from another through­ out the entire course of the day, would suddenly and most weirdly rise above the distant horizon just at sunset, thus effecting a much longer line of vision than could ordinarily be utilised. By actually laying bars of metal end to end the surveyors In the course of this stupendous measurement marked off the base lines essential to their triangulation work. Thus carefully measuring these base lines and later measuring the angles from either end to & common point, they, by applying a simple formula, could estimate how far away that point might be. The temperature of each bar was carefully measured by thermometers Inside 4*d its effect upon the length of the bar ths ground, hot upon trlpoift carefully leveled. One style of msasnrlng bar utilized in this dsUeat* work was truly a wonder.

IRqform in Man's AitHr*, West Haven, Conn., is la a whirl of excitement over the extraordinary conduct of John Merwin Hubbard, one of its hitherto most respected resi­ dents, who has taken to appearing in costumes radically different from the prevailing mode in male attire. Mr. Hubbard's departure from established rule in the matter of personal apparel is all the more unaccountable to his neighbors when they remember that so far as they have any knowledge he is ' - 1 „r>': JOHN M. HUBBARD. by no means a crank. Summer visit­ ors to that section set him down as an eccentric of the extreme kind, but this idea was soon disposed of when Mr. Hubbard's fello^r clticens were consulted. As a matter of fact, they had always been rather proud of him --college-bred ipan, poet, philosopher and war veteran as he is. The inventor of this new sartorial cult bases his crusade on his alleged discovery that modern™ideas of male attire ate entirely opposed to the con­ sistency and teaching of the scriptures. Therefore, he has invented several new and startling original costumes, whleh he persists in wearing, to the exceeded the num­ ber of stars visible to the naked eye in the heavens above. Were all of the lines forming these triangles placed end to end they would extend 10,000 miles or more. The tri­ angulating work was begun at the two ends and near the center of the great arc. the sur­ veyors gradually moving toward eaehs other. Infants in swaddling clothes had become parents and youths had grown to be gray- laired men before* two parties met, some two years ago, - to close the last gap of the survey which •emained in Colo­ rado. High above the clouds were some ot . these impor­ tant measurements made. Four stations containing the sur­ veyors' instruments were 14,000 and twenty were 10,000 feet above the sea level. Here the ex- pert measurers worked amid per­ petual ice and snow, breathing only half the usual supply of air , meted out to human beings. The water in their camp kettles boiled at 189 degrees. Yet they performed the , feat of measuring over single spans with instruments from 100 to 180 miles apart.
