4 that her mind was cultured and her "I supposed you would find that out for yourself in due time," he replied, with a half smile that nettled her, for she was decidedly uneasy over the discovery she had maae.. She was by no means blind to the distracting beauty o¢ Leonora, and it had not taken her five minutes to find out the girl. "Yes, dear, 1 would go. You have no one but me, and I mean to do the best 1| can for your happiness. If Lady Lancaster is unreasonable about this matter, I shall leave her," said Mrs. West, decidedly. "But, oh, aunt, you will be sorry that 1 came to youâ€"sorry that poor papa left me on your hands," anxiously. "I shall regret nothing, dear, if I can only do my duty by you," was the reassuring reply that brought a look of relief into Leonora‘s beautiful "She would have liked to have me do so," said Mrs. West, indignantly. "She was very arrogant and presuming. She seems to be quite angry because poor Dick‘s daughter is as protty and acâ€" complished as the young ladies in a higher rank of life." "And oh! Aunt West, she was so proud and scornful and overbearing that 1 was vgod at her; and I‘m afraid that 1 "was just a little bit saucy to her. What will she do, do you think? Will she send me away from Lancaster Park?" "She will have to send me too if she does!" cried Mrs. West. "Oh, Aunt West, would you really go*" Would you give up the home of sixteen years for my sake?" cried "Why, that she was grown up inâ€" stead of a child, as I thought, andâ€" andâ€"that she was prettyâ€"ratherâ€" and accomplished beyond her station," wrathfully said Lady Lancaster. And when she bad regained the privacy of her own room she sunk down exhausted upon her bed to await the housekeeper‘s arrival. Leonora smiled, and her aunt con tinued : "I gave warning that I would leave her in a month. If it were not for Lord Lancaster, 1 would go toâ€"day; but he has always been so kind that I shall stay a few weeks longer for his sake. Can you endure it that much longer, my child?" "Take me back to my room, then, and tell West to come at onceâ€"at once, do you hear?" * Leonora had already gone co Mrs West‘s room and related hber ad venture. "Oh, yes," said Leonora, "I will try to be very good that long. And, Aunt West, when we leave here we are going back to New York. You need not shake your head so solemnly. I am a willful child, and I mean to have my own way." Lady Lancaster was purple with rage and dismay. She had sallied upon the field ready to drive the inâ€" truder from her grounds, and she, Lady Lancaster, the great rich lady, had been vanquished by the sharp little tongue of a lowâ€"born girl who had so innocent and candid an air that she did not at this moment quite realize that the girl herself knew the enormity of the offense she had committed. bring Mrs. West to me." maun‘t 1 better take you back to your room first? Perhaps some one may come in here. And you have pushed your wig awry, and the powder is all off your face, my lady," said Elise, demurely; and her mistress groaned : Lord Lancaster received a message from his aunt that evening. She wished to see him privately for ten minutes. "I hope she isn‘t going to tease me about Lady Adela again," he said to himself, and he looked rather sullen when he went to her. He was exâ€" ceed@gly impatient of the rule she tried to exercise over him. "What was it you wished me to tell you?" he inquired coldly. Elise, full of silent, demure laughter, waited for her mistress to speak. It was several minutes before she rallied from her fit of rage enough to speak clearly. When she did, she said sharply: He was honestly bewildered by the suddenness of the inquiry. He did not think of connecting Leonora West with it. bring Mrs. West "Clive, why didn‘t you tell me about that girl?" she began, dashing into the subject without preamble. "I do not know what you are talking about, Aunt Lydia," he answered. "I did, Aunt Lydia. You asked me if I had brought Leonora West to the housekeeper, and I told you that I had doue so. Then you asked me if she were troublesome, and I told you that she was. Do you not remember?" "Yes, but you should have told me more about her. It is very strange that you kept it all to yourself," she more about her. It is very strange that you kept it all to yourself," she said, regarding him suspiciously, and nowise pleased when she saw the deep flush that reddened his face.

"Ah! so you are interested in her? ‘I thought as much," declared Lady lLancaster, violently. "This, then, is the secret of your indifference to Lady Adela. You have conceived a preferâ€" ence for this lowâ€"born, impertinent girl. But beware, sir, how you trifle with me. Remember my conditions." Lady Lancaster reflected for a moâ€" ment, with her head on one side, like some brooding bird of evil omen. _ The angry flash of his eyes did not escape her keen gaze. She had spoken with a deliberate purpose. LR z> asked Flushing to the roots of his hair, Lancaster neither affirmed nor denied her accusations. He sat gazing at her in proud silence. Answer me one thing," she stormed. "Do you intend to marry Lady Adela?" "I have not made up my mind yet," he answered, coldly. 4 "Do you ever expect to do so?" she snecred. "You have been acquainted with Lady Adela long enough, I think, to tell whether you are pleased with her or not." "It is scarcely a week," he said. "Do you want more _ time?" she "Whom?" "Lieutenant De Vere." "No"" she cried. "Yes," he answered. "Why should you look so surprised? He was our compagnon du voyage. He admired Miss West very much, and he confided to me his intention of winning her, if possible for his wife." _ "His family will not allow him to throw himself away on that girl," she cried. I What if Lancaster, too, had been bewitched by that fair, piquant face and luring smile? A sudden thought came to her. After all, perhaps, it were best for her plans that De Vere should have his way. Who could tell what folly might get into Lancaster‘s head? She looked at him thoughtfully. "Perhaps I was hasty," she said. "But I had a shock toâ€"day when I first saw the girl, andâ€"she was very imâ€" pertinent to me. Is it your wish, Clive, that I should put no obstacle in "Yes," he replied. "How much?" she inquired. "The utmost limit your liberality will allow me." She started and gave him a keen glance. "He is quite independent of his famâ€" ily, and he will not be slow to avail himself of the advantage." "Happy mortal! You would like to exchange places with him, no doubt?" she sneered. "I know Miss West herself; no one who knows her would believe her to be an adventuress. She is a pure, simple, and trueâ€"hearted maiden," he answered, steadily. _ "I could wish, certainly, that I were as fortunate as my friend," he reâ€" plied. o § j $ _ She glared at him a moment, and then asked, curiously: i "You do not? Yet you must have known that I would be surprised. You knew I expected a child. You must have supposed that I would not care to have such a girlâ€"an adventuress, perhapsâ€"or, may be, a low concert or saloon singerâ€"who can tell?â€"here at Lancaster Park." "Lady Lancaster, I do not think any one but yourself would dare say such things of Miss West," he said, hotly. "Dare? Why not? What do you know to the contrary?" sneered the evil old woman. "She will if she is worldly wise," slowly. "But I can not tell. I do not know Miss Wesi well enough to decide what she would do in a given case." "Is the girl in love with De Vere? Pshaw! what would love have to do with it? I mean, will she accept her wealthy suitor?" 3 "Of course she will accept him. She is sharp enough, and such a girl as she isâ€"poor and lowly bornâ€"would not be slow to jump as such a chance," said the dowager, coarsely. "If I had known that Lieutenant De \;’e‘re was so silly, I should not have ifvited him here. I would have had nothing to do with him. But he will be here toâ€"night." "He is here now. He went to his dressingâ€"room an hour ago," Lancasâ€" ter said, coolly. "I think he will exâ€" press a desire for a private interview with you this evening. It is rather embarassing to him to have to ask your permission to woo his ladyâ€"love in the housekeeper‘s rooms, yet such is his avowed intention. If Iâ€"" he paused and bit his lip to keep back the impatient avowal. "You would bring that creature into the drawingâ€"room to receive his adâ€" dresses?" she hissed. "Yes," he replied. "Then you will not do so while I am the mistress of Lancaster. If he chooses to have such low tastes, it is not for me to indulge him in them. If he must woo the housekeeper‘s niece, he may woo her in her proper place," cried Lady Lancaster, indignant at his defense of his friend‘s misplaced admiration, and secretly jealous of the beautiful girl‘s influence. "If youâ€"what? Go on, my lordâ€" let me hear what wonderful thought was prefaced by that ‘if‘" o "Only thisâ€"if I were master in my own house, instead of a guest, it should be otherwise. My _ friend should not be insulted." Her keen eyes detected the shadow on his face, and she interpreted it aright. She was frightened at the danâ€" ger that had been so near her, unâ€" known and unsuspected all this while. "I must remove the temptation from him as soon as I can," she thought anxiously. He bowed silently. A swift, sharp, cruel pang of jealousy tore through his heart as he did so.

When placed against a wall or floor it makes the solid wood or metal transparentâ€" in this respect it resembles the Xâ€" ray. Gugliclmo Marconi, mventor of wireless, sailed recently for Liverâ€" pool, whence he will travel through France to Italy. He returns to his native country at the outset of Italy‘s participation in the war at the personal request of King Vicâ€" tor Emmanuel. Just as he sailed he told of having almost perfected an invention by which a person may see through a solid wall. "It is not finished," exclaimed the inventor. ‘"Persons can be seen in the next room if they are close enough to the wall, but the image is blurred if they are a little distance away.‘" ‘‘Michael,"" said he, "drive Ella to the spring and back, so she can get me some water without muddyâ€" herself." ; u.‘iur after Michael used to fill the pitcher on rainy mornings without even waiting to be .w f Marconi saw tests of the new and powerful _ wireless apparatus at Sayville, L.I., in connection with the Marconi Company‘s _ patent suit. There was an experiment with the wireless telephone, but the weather was not favorable and nothing startling was accomplishâ€" ed. Some of the enthusiasts about the wireless telephone believed that with proper conditions it â€" would have been possible to converse with the tower at Nauen, Germany. _â€"‘"But the visible telephone â€" where persons talking Can See Each Other â€"is coming fuccessfully, although I myself am not working on it,"‘ observed the inventor. h Marconi will stop long enough in England to see his family. It is expected that he will take charge of the Italian wireless service. He is a commissioned officer of the Italian navy, but expects to remain ashore most of the war. s One very rainy morning the pitâ€" cher was not in its usual place, and he asked the waitress why it was missing. |__ c k t un y Marconi delayed the sailing of the Italian liner Stampalia, which left for Naples. The wait was to enable the inventor to finish arâ€" rangements for shipping wireless and other supplies to Italy. 7 The Stampalia was closely guardâ€" ed at her pier at the foot of West Thirtyâ€"fourth street lest some newly made enemy of Italy try to harm her. There were more than ninety Italian reservists in the first cabin. In the other classes there were upâ€" ward of 100 reservists, many in uniform. Ten minutes later, with much trampling of hoofs and champing of bits, the carriage drew up at the door, with Michael on the box in his rubber coat and hat cover. "‘Come, Ella,‘" said Mr. Clafiin, ‘"‘get your pitcher‘‘ ; and taking her by the arm, he walked down the front steps and helped her into the Strangled With Red Tape. The late Mr. H. B. Claflin, who was one of the great merchants of the last generation, lived for many years at Kings Bridge, one of the suburbs of New York. It wias his whim to have each morning before breakfast a drink of cold water fresh from a spring near the house. "Why, Mr. Claflin,‘‘ she said, it was raining so hard and is so muddy that I was afraid if I went after the water I should be too soiled to wait on the table.

Even such large birds as cranes, ewans, pelicans, and geese can fly ata.speedofmorodwn.hundmd feet a second. The speed of waterfowl has often been measured with great accuracy.

Besides, I left a much better one.‘" "I know you didâ€"but it was too small.‘" All Birds Are Sprinters and Take Wing Like a Bullet. Falcons are said to be the most rapid flyers; some varieties fly two hundred feet a second, according to the best estimate. Waterfowl, too, have great pOWâ€" ers of flight. The canvasback duck covers from 130 to 160 feet a second. The bluewinged teal and the greenâ€"winged teal, the bluebill and the redheads are only a little alow-‘ er. Mallards, pintails, wood ducks, black ducks, and others can easily, fly faster than a mile a min‘ut;e.l All the gallinaceous fowl are sprinters. They take wing like a bullet; their wings make a loud whirring sound. The quail or the ruffed grouse can gain ful}l momenâ€" tum within sixty feet of rising ; the wings beat from five to seven times a second. The quail covers from fortyâ€"five to fifty feet the first secâ€" ond away from the gun ; his wings flash like a rapidly revolving wheel. The wings of the ruffed grouse roar until the sound can be heard two hundred yards away. These large birds make only a couple of wing strokes a second when first taking to flight, but when under full momentum the strokes become more rapid. The principle is the same as that which applies to an oarsman in starting his boat : the quicker the craft is moving, the less resistance there is to the oar and the faster is the stroke, A swan cannot reach maximum speed in less than 150 yards after springing from the water; a goose requires nearly one hundred yards, and a duck, about 50 yards. he The jacksnipe has a very peculiar flight. When he first springs, if he endeavors to travel across the wind it gets under his long, curved wings, unbalances him, and forces him to tack about in order to reâ€" gain his balance. When the jackâ€" snipe goes straight. upwind, or flies at full speed, the zigzag moveâ€" ment is not noticeable.
