"Why, I should not be surprised if he has a wife of his own here in Montreal!" "Not he," carelessly said Gervis. "He's a woman-hater, I should Im­ agine. His bride Is science, to which he seems to have given himself up body and soul. You should see his diggings. Gladdy! Never saw such a collection of weird and extraordinary inventions in my life. He took me there last evening, and you don't see me going again, to-such a creepy place. Why, he has got his coffin, all spick and span and ready for occupation, in one corner, and In the hall, instead of a hatstand, he has actually got a skele­ ton, braced up with iron, on the arms of which the crazy old chap hangs his hat. There, my dear, I ought not to have told you that!" Gladdy had gone quite white. ' "Look here, I am going to take you to the ice carnival tonight, and tomor­ row we start for old England. And-- did I tell you, Gladdy? Andsell has suddenly made up his mind to go with us. There's something--some elixir-- to be got only in London from some old wizard of an east end chemist, and Andsell must have It to complete some marvelous scientific invention he means to patent. So I've asked him down to Temple-Dene to spend Christ­ mas. We owe him some little atten­ tion for all he did for us that awful bight of the fire."

The falling snow had stopped, and overhead was a brilliant blue. A stiff wind had jgot up, howl- dog and swirling the STOW mto deep drifts. . "Bears, I suppose?" saM Gervis. "Just what I should have liked if-- well, under other circumstances. I dare say you could tell one some yarns about the grizzlies yonder?" - Paul Andsell nodded brieflly, and the two men turned to retrace their steps to the little prairie station. "Do you live in Montreal* then? Is it yoar home?" © ,"I have no horns," was the. brief re­ joinder. 'I suppose I am what you call a cosmopolitan--one who makes a nest in every one of the world's great cities. But here we are back at the prairie station. The weather's clear­ ing, so I suppose our people will start on their way." •***•'. In the station and round the cars there was a stir of excitement, and people were getting aboard the train. There is my wife! She is standing at the window of-the car!" Gervis caught sight of a little figure In a pale green and gold brocade tea- gown, trimmed with yellow lace. It was Gladdy, and her small pink and white face, with its pointed chin, was now bent toward them as she gaz­ ed downward at the two men. « She was waving a little white hand fa Welcome to her husband; but when she caught sight of his companion her face blanched, and she shrank back from the window, at which Paul Ans­ dell frowned at once. Two minutes later, however, he was bowing before her as Gervis introduced him. "We had a Jolly good tramp, Glad­ dy,«Mr. Ansdell and I, over the hard snow. It has made me as hungry as .possible. And, if it had not been for your small ladyship, I shouldn't have come back. I'd have gone after the grizzlies in the mountain, yonder; 'but I warn you that next year I shall come back to pot a bear or two, and leave you at Temple-Dene." Gervis laid a kindly hand on the slight little shou) der. filaddy looked up timidly, and, to her surprise, Mr. Andsell had taken out a pocketbook crammed with snap •hots, which he proceeded to show « and explain to Gervis, taking no fur notice of her. if the stranger wished to restore the young bride's confidence, he could not have devised a better mode of do­ ing so Before the end of the day Gladdy wafe herself again, gay and lightheart- ed.

His eyes never by any <duraoe rested upon her. ."I might be a cow or wax doll for j«U the notice your fine philosopher Ijgtore® to me!" the girl-bride said. > "Oh, well, you can't expeet to have idry-as-dust scientific fellows in your my dear," said Gervis mildly, must be content with ordinary , such as /our humble servant, for •glares. I don'tsuppose Andsell, poor you just stay quietly at home and cos­ set yourself up, of we shall have* to remain behind tomorrow." Gladdy, thankful, enough 'of the rest and quiet, lay back in a low chair in the private sitting room the Temple- tons had secured. Her eyes were hid­ den under their soft, white lids; but Gladdy was not asleep. Strange visions and stranger thought* were whirling through her brain; and her small hands lay limply in her lap, their wax­ en whiteness intensified by the violet satin of her evening gown. It Was not of her own simple past, nor yet of the wonderful happiness that had come to her so lately that Gladdy was dreaming. Instead, dark, fantastic shapes and visions came and went, succeeded by grim forebodings. | Never a strong girl, Gladdy, since the night of the fire in the snow shed, had drooped strangely. It was as if the springs of life within her were broken. The shock might or might not have done the mischief; but it was there nevertheless. As she lay back with closed eyes and whitened cheeks there was a distinct change on the round young face. So thought somebody who had come, Stepping softly over the thick, rich car­ pet, close to the little figure reclining in the low chair--so softly, that Glad­ dy did not open her blue eyes. Indeed, the white lids closed down tightly over them, perhaps because a hand with long, thin fingers was waving slowly to and fro in front of them. In a few" seconds Gladdy was in a deep, motionless sleep, and standing looking down upon her out of his dark, unfathomable eyes, was Paul Andsell, who, on hearing from the black waiter that Mr. Templeton had gone out to the ice carnival, stepped upstairs to pay his respects to Mrs. Templeton. Bending close down until his lips neared her pink ear, Paul, in a mon­ otonous voice, recited a sort of state­ ment. He spoke in carefully measured tones, as if anxious that not the merest syllable should be slurred over. The room' was still and quiet, and Gladdy slept on tranquilly, while Paul looked round him for something he waited. Reaching over, he drew towards him a Japanese screen, and fixed it partly between the sleeping girl and a little table, on which were writing materi­ als. Then he spread out a blank sheet of white paper, and then lifted first a pen, then a pencil from the writing table. "NOi" he muttered, "I've something better still!" And from his waistcoat pocket he drew a stylographic pen, which he gently placed between the thumb and finger of the little limp hand of the girl. > "Gladdy," he whispered distinctly-- "awake, Gladdy!" The girl stirred uneasily. "Write down word for word what you heard me say a few mintues ago." This time Paul's voice had in it a note of command, almost of menace; and instantly Gladdy sat up straight, With the pen held firmly in her fingers. Her eyes were wide open and sleep had flown. Edging the screen a little forward. Paul got it adjusted so that Gladdy did not see the sheet of blank paper, then he gently guided her hand around the edge of the screen and placed it upon the paper. "Write!" he said, harshly, and Glad­ dy obeyed. But from her . position she could not see what she was wrlt- ing. Presently, as Paul's dark eyes in­ tently watched the motionless pen in the slim, small fingers, it moved. Glad­ dy Was writing something carefully, and~ln a slow, painstaking manner, much as a child under the eye of a master would do. And while she wrote Paul watched her breathlessly. On, on the pen trav eled over the sheet. Glady's handwriting was small and upright and unlovely, the handwriting of the up-to-date girl of today. Paul's breath grew labored as he watched the pen moving. He could have dash­ ed off the sentence in half the time; but then between Gladdy and himself there was at least a quarter of a cen­ tury in age. At last the end of the page was reached, and the stylograph­ ic pen dropped from the limp, white fingers. It!. j&n your full name I* Till* was just signature--Gladys with a low sigh of exhaustion, the girl slipped backward into her chair, and Paul Andsell, after carefully blotting the sheet of paper, folded it and placed it in his pocketbook. "I must get the nsmee of ft coup!® «? witnesses. and line thing's dons! Bat that's an easy matter in Montreal." As silently as he came Paul Andsell departed. Down the wide staircase he sped, and out Into the clear, white stillness of the starry night, his dark eyes blazing with a strange, triumph­ ant light. . v "Is it $Hi, 'PMlty; ' Tj^ShiVo come home?" A sweet, vlbfating voice called out gently as his latchkey opened the door of the little suite of rooms or flat which he called home in the gay city of Montreal. "Yes. I havp come.Diana; and I have good newa--rare,good news for you." A large, golden haired woman, with a milk-white skin, came out of one of the rooms opening into the hall, where the skeleton loomed quaint and hideous. She was Paul Andsell's wife. Gladdy had been right in her sur­ mise; bt& Mrs. Andsell was not a happy wife, to judge by her dejected, limp appearance. Years ago when Paul first saw Pi- ana standing in front of the little New England homestead that nestled under the great maple trees, he had thought her the prettiest girl this world held. The poor, shabby, little house was dig­ nified by the morning glories that climbed all over it, purple and pink and white, making a dainty back­ ground for the girl's fairness. It was a picture that stirred the man's Im­ agination rather than his heart. Already vast possibilities were loom­ ing for the scientific explorer. Here, in this vision of womanly fairness, he saw a valuable assistant for his enter­ prise. But Paul Andsell had made great strides since the days when his mas­ terful will took Diana from her sim­ ple home, and from her first love, to make her his wife and his tool. No longer for him did the humble pro­ vincial exhibitions $61 his mesmeric skill and his power over the minds of others suffice. Higher flights were to­ day his aim, and more than one ab- truse work on hypnotism bore his name on Its title page.

Miles, former­ ly lecturer at Cambridge university, England, and the head authority on athletics in that Institution,'contributes to the Saturday Evening Post a lead­ ing article on the "Fallacies Aibout Training." In the course of It he writes: "A serious evil in the modern training system is the constant ten- sdion of the nerves and muscles. At Cambridge 1 used to watch my ath­ letic pupils and none of them seemed to have acquired the power of repose. They were always on the stretch. When the time came near,for instance, for the university boat race or the foot­ ball match, the tension reached an ex­ treme and the men seemed quite unable to be at their ease. It is strange that while the trainers perpetually teach them how to exercise, they never teach them to rest. The whole of nature seems to work on the principle of al­ terations; first work, then rest. We see it in day and night; in breathing out and breathing in. I need not give other instances, many of which can be found in one of Emerson's essays. What I wish to Insist on >ere Is that, while we teach men to exert them­ selves and to strive and to tie them­ selves up InAo knots, we seldom or never teach them to relax themselves, to be at rest and to undo their nerves and muscles. It is Americans especial­ ly who need to relax, to smooth them­ selves out, and, for example, to let their arms and hands hang limp and heavy,. If the business man were to give up only three minutes each day to standing with his knees bent, and with his arms hanging down quite loose and limp and with a contented smile on his face, and with his mind empty as possible, the difference in his state of feeling during the day would be almost beyond -relief.** . <• '""*v : kiii - : Watt v^if$r£n. s >u CHAftieSHOMai DARWIN CMpiOiViiiV P*VI0 MicMMt FAR* of tbelrastnest year the , " ottt at this great sum eoii- Bankers had been preparing wptor some time, and the bulk at *h* money - went for the payment at 'i®hrlffBi*Jd«.' eoup&as. th@r® isras. a »irlogency in the moaejf market.

Kadsjs Cardiff, Wales, for Um Csaadea * Ambojr Railroad. • In recognition of Mr. Andrew Car- negle's gift of £10,000 for a new build­ ing for Stevens Institute of Technolo­ gy, in Hoboken, N. J., it has been de­ cided to present him with a section of an original 36-pound "T" rail from the Camden ft Amboy railroad, inclosed In a suitable receptacle. The Incident has a local interest, inasmuch as the rails were rolled in the Dowlals works in 1831. and were the first "T" rails designed or made, although the Vig- noles rails produced in Prance several years later have generally Men cred­ ited with being the earliest. The for­ mer was designed by Robert I». Ste­ vens, who was sent to England to have them made, there being in America at that time no mill capable of doing the work. Arrived in England, he called for bids on the Job from vari­ ous Iron works, but at first none ot them ventured to undertake it, says the Cardiff Evening Mail. After a while he persuaded Mr. (subsequently Sir) John Guest to attempt the task, not, however, before guaranties had been given against damage tp the ma­ chinery In performing the mighty task of rolling a 36-pound rail. Finally tlio rails were satisfactorily rolled. They were sent to the United States In a good many different vessels, a few tons at a time, for they were regarded M a perilous sort of freight. Dr. Ma> ton has facsimiles of letters, • cations and bills connected with thlt matter, which are to be inclosed in <&• silver box which Is to contain the tioa ot raiL The century lately closed gave us the age of steam. One of the pathfind­ ers In this direction was James Watt (1736-1819). In 1769 he constructed the first steam engine that would work satisfactorily. Next to steam It is electricity and Michael Faraday (1791-1867) may well be called the first electrician. That electricity was possessed of a chemical quality had not even been suspected until his experiments In what has since been known as electrolysis. John Ericsson (1803-1889) was a competitor of Stephenson in the trial of locomotives In 1829, but his work was to be connected more with the de­ velopment of locomotion by water than on land. The first vessel to which he applied this original device was the Princeton in 1843. His place in his­ tory will be always connected also with his conception of the Monitor. Natural science progressed marvel- ously In these 100 years and it is to the mind of George Cuvier (1769-1832) that much or it Is due. Cuvier established the history of the animal kingdom in the light of comparative anatomy, and laid, the foundations of the study of prehistoric animal life by his wonder­ ful restorations of extinct species from •ingle fragments. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) furnish­ ed the key to many problems of zoo­ logy which had been considered un- solvable before his time. His work crowned that of Cuvier. Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) succeeded In solving more than one difficult prob­ lem ill Chemistry, .interesting the world of science by his discoveries in i the field of bacterial life. He devised a method of filtration of water which has stood the bept tests, based as It is upon solid scientific principles. 1113 work best known to the public, how­ ever, is his discovery of the virus by which rabies is prevented. - Sir Joseph Lister, born in 1827, in 1863 suggested the valuable method of guarding against danger from the use of chloroform in operations by noting the breathing of the patient. Elias Howe (1819-1867), the Inventor of the sewing machine, may seem to have only substituted mechanical slav­ ery for manual, but the possibility of cheap clothing arose with his inven­ tion, and If the machine has been abused it is not the fault of this most useful invention. A discovery which, has done much for science as well as art during the century is that of photography, due to Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787- 1851). In geography the century's advance has been extraordinary. The greatest of the leaders in this work was David Livingstone (1813-1873), who began as a medical missionary tp Africa and ended by adding wide areas of the Dark Continent to the map of the wortd. t, . -y;* • The nineteenth was » marvelous century of marvelous mett, ' To Honor William "BlacK* w. & mm r-ras? fP' The BUM tower, Parts, 1.0*0 feet high, Is the highest tower In thn world.
