There is fierceness in his face—-a look which means no good to anybody—and as his hand goes to his overcoat pooket, drawing out some thing which I can not describe, but which be handles as if it were a pistol, 1 feel a horrible fear, and -and—" The child was •taggering. and the hand which was free had sought her heart where it lay clenched, the knuckles sbow'.-.g white in the dim light i Mr. Chailoner watched her with dilated I ■yes. the spell under which she spoke | falling in some degree upon him Had she finished? Was this all? No: she is speaking again, but very low. almost in a whisper. “There is music—a crash- but I plainly see his other hand approach the object hs is holding He takes something from the end—the object is pointed my way— I am looking into—into—what? I do not know I can not even see him now. The ■pace where he stood la empty. Every thing fades, and I wake with a loud cry tn my ears and a sense of death here." She had lifted her hand and ■truck at her heart, opening her eyes as ■he did so “Yet it was not I who had been shot,” she added softly. Mr Chailoner shuddered. This was like the reopening of his daughter's grave But he had entered upon the scene with a full appreciation of the ordeal await ing him and he did not lose his calm ness or the control of his judgment. "He seated, Miss Scott," he entreated, taking a chair himself "You have de scribed the spot and some of the clr ocinstances of my daughter's death as accurately as if you had been there. But you have doubtless read a full account of those details in the papers; possibly ■aen pictures which would make the place quite real to you. The mind Is a strange ■tore house. We do not always know what lies hidden within It." “That’s true," she admitted "But the min! J had never seen the man, or any picture of him, and hie face was clearest of all. I should know it If I saw' it anywhere, it is imprinted on my memory as plainly as yours Oh, I hope never to see that man-'" Mr. ChaJkmer sighed; he had really an ticipated something from the interview. The disappointment was keen. A moment of expectation; the thrill which comes to ua all under the shadow of the super natural, and then—-this! a young and im aginative girl's dream, convincing to her ■elf but supplying nothing which had not already been supplied both by the facts and his own imagination! A man had stood at the staircase, and this man had raised his arm She said that she had ■een something like a pistol tn his hand, but his daughter had not been shot. Tills he thought it well enough to point out to her leaning toward her that he might get her full attention, ho waited till her eyes met his, then quietly asked: "Have you ever named thia man to yourself?” Sfffe started and dropped her ayes "I do not dare to,” said she "Why?” "Because I've read in the papers that the ma® who stood there had the same name as -” "Tell me.

"As Mr. Brotherson’s brother.” "But you do not think it was his broth er?" "I do not know." "You've never seen his brother?” ‘Never." "Nor his pitcure?" "No: Mr. Brotherson has none " "Aren't they friends? Does he never mention Orlando?” "Very, very rarely But I’ve no reason to think they are not on good terms. I know they correspond.” "Miss Scott?" "Yes. Mr. Chailoner,” "You must not rely too much upon your dream." Her eyes flashed to his and then fell .again "Dreams are hot revelations; they are the reproduction of what already lies hidden in the mind. I can prove that your I dream ts such." "How?" She looked startled. "You speak of seeing something being leveled at you which made you think of a pistol." "Yes. 1 was looking difectly into It." “But my daughter was pot shot. She died from a stab " Doris’ lovely face, with Its tender lines and girlish curves, took on a strange look of conviction which deepened, rather than melted, under his indulgent hut penetrat ing gaze "I know that you think so—but my dream says no. I saw this object. It was pointed directly toward me—above all, I saw his face It was the face of one w’hose finger is on the trigger and who means death; and I believe my dream.” Well. It was useless to reason further. Gentle in all else, she was immovable so far as this Idea was concerned, and, seeing this, he let the matter go and pre pared to take his leave She seemed to be quite ready for thia. Anxiety about her patient had regained Its place in her mind, and her glance sped constantly toward the door. Taking her hand In his, he said some kind words, then crossed to the door and opened it. Instantly her finger flew to her lips, and. obedient to its silent injunction, he took up his hat. In silence, and was proceed ing down tbe hall when the bell rang, startling them both and causing him to step quickly back. “Who is it?” she asked. "Father's in and visitors seldom come so late.” "Shall I see?” She nodded, looking strangely troubled tis the door swung open, revealing the tall, strong figure of a man facing them from the porch. "A stranger," formed Itself upon her lips, and she was moving forward, when the man suddenly stepped Into the glare of the light, and she stopped, with a murmur of dismay which pierced Mr. Chailoner's heart and prepared him for the words which now fell shudderingly from her Ups: "It is he! It is he! I aatd that I should know him wherever I saw him.” Then with a quiet turn toward the intruder, "Oh, why, -why did you come here!” “Do You Know My Brother?” Her bands were thrust out to repel, her features were fixed.; her beauty something wonderful Orlando Brotherson, thus met, stared for a moment at the vision before him, then slowly and with effort withdrawing his gaze, he sought the face of Mr Challoner with the first sign of open disturbance that gentleman had ever seen In him. "Ah,” said he. "my welcome is readlty understood. I see you far from home, ■lr ” And, w’lth an ironical bow, he turned again to Doris, who had dropped her hands, but in whose cheeks the pallor ■till lingered in away to check th* easy flow of words with which he might have sought tn carry off the situation. "Am I in Oswald Brotherson’s house?” he asked. "I was directed here. But possibly there may be some mistake.” “It is here he Ilves,” said she; moving back automatically till she stood again by the threshold of the small room tn which she had received Mr. Chailoner “Do you wish to see httn tonight? If so, I fear it Is impossible. He has been very ill and Is not allowed to receive visits from strangers.” "I am not a stranger." announced the newcomer, with a smile few could see un moved, it offered such a contrast to his ■torn and dominating figure. "I thought I heard some words of recognition which would prove your knowledge of that fact.” She did not answer Her Itps had parted, but her thought, or at least the expression of her thought, hung suspend ed in the terror of this meeting for which she was not at all prepared. He seemed to note this terror, whether or not he understood its cause, and smiled again, as he added: “Mr. Brotherson must have spoken of his brother, Orlando I am he, Miss Scott Will you let me come In now?" Iler eyes sought those of Mr Chailoner, who quietly nodded. Immediately she stepped from before the door which her figure had guarded, and, motioning him to enter, she begged Mr. Chailoner, with an imploring look, to sustain her in the in terview she saw before her He had no desire for this encounter, especially as Mr. Brotherson’s glance in his direction had been anything but conciliatory. He was quite convinced that nothing was to be gained by if, but he could not resist her appeal, and followed them into the little room whose limited dimensions made the tall Orlando look bigger and stronger and more lordly in his seif contldence than ever "I am sorry it is so late." she began, contemplating his intrusive figure with forced composure “We have to be very quiet In the evonings so as not to dis turb your brother’s first sleep, which is of great Importance to him."

PERHAPS it was the suddenness of being taken out of the brilliant atmosphere of the Bernard Shaw play, or perhaps it was the steepness of the stairs leading to her dressing room, but at all events, w'hen I saw May Blaney, who plays the part of Ann tn Man and Superman." I made two very bad breaks in rapid succession. First 1 thought site was an American because we can claim all pretty ac tresses with strong English accent, and because she i.« so well known to Ameri can audiences. And then 1 thought her eyes were blue because she makes them up w'ith blue paint, and they look blue. But I was soon set right on both points. :”p? not American; I’m English with a strong streak of Irish.” corrected Miss Blaney “And, moreover, my eyes are brown and not blue.” By this time I had completely wilted, and I threw the interview on her mercy, with a faint murmur that it be about "Beauty and her methods of preserving her health, and quite unusual amount of good looks.” "You can say that I like gardening and that I breed bulldogs.” said Miss Blaney. But alas! This was not what I wanted, and 1 feared that the readers of this paper would not all be able to achieve fame, as well as beauty, by such means. My mind was still full of the delightful play that was going on downstairs, for “Ann” was prepar ing for the last act. After you have listened for an hour or so to Bernard Shaw, it Is almost impossible to get back to the commonplaces of physical diet and the other means by which our famous beauties enhance their appearance and kindle the light of envy in the breast of all the other women. So I aeked Miss Blaney to talk about “Ann,” the superwoman, she of the life force and the delightful catty ways, which Miss Blaney acts with such charm and skill. One of the most interesting things about this play is the change in the audience. When it was first given, peo ple did not know whether they ought to laugh, and women resented the char acter of Ann, though they all knew in their heart of hearts that she is the woman who can bend even the strong est man to her will. Now they never miss a point. “It does seem ourloua," continued Miss Blaney, "that men will be com pletely taken in by a character like Ann, but when they see a slnoere. frank, straightforward woman they at once believe that she is a deep char acter planning all kinds of pitfalls. In deed, that she is a woman to beware of. “My sympathy is, of course, with tbe slnoere, straightforward woman, but I must admit that the Ann type gets on better, and I believe that every woman in the audience realizes It and has a certain Sympathy with Ann, and is glad that she always gets her way. Perhaps there is a little of Ann in every one of us,” laughed Miss Blaney. "The redeeming feature about her is that she has a sense of humor." Miss Blaney had taken off the pretty yellow automobile coat, the little hood ■with its big crimson rose, and was now wearing the frock of the last act, a Up-to-Date Jokes "How long did your honeymoon last?” "Until the fleet time I was late for supper, If I remember rightly.” Jim—Nothing is better in time of danger than presence of mind George—Oh, think it over. What about presence of body? Gertie—l wish you to know that I don't stand on trifles. Helen (glancing at her feet)—No, deer; 1 see you don’t. "Well, you got your husband to go to church with you instead of the theater, eh?” "Yes; but he disgraced me. The par son read four chapters from Acts and he insisted on going out between them.” Counsel (to witnese) —What is your husband? Witness—He’s a finisher. "What does he finish?” "Well, he's just finishing his time in prison,” A teacher was endeavoring to instil into the mind of a thick-headed youth the difference between linear, square and cubic measures. After a lengthy explanation he asked him the following question: "Now, Johnny, suppose your mother wished to take the measurements for a new carpet, what measure would she use?” After a great deal of anxious delib eration the lad answered: “If you please, sir, a tape measure." The coster and his best girl were dis cussing local events one day recently. Said ’Arry: "Did you read the list of presents Ann Smith had for her wed din".”' ’Arriet: "Yes, 1 did.

"How I do dislike these tight skirts,” said Miss Blaney. "I think that women would get more courtesy shown them, more respect and more politeness if they would go back to petticoats, and all the frilly, lacy things which are so essentially feminine. “These present fashions are certainly abominable. For myself, I would like a full, wide petticoat and skirt, almost a crinoline in fact; something that es sentially expressed ths really feminine. I Jove lace and all beautiful materials, and lots of them. These ridiculous skimpy oklrts are ugly and unbecom ing, as well as immodest. "You will notice tha-t since women began to discard one petticoat after another and appear finally in the scan tiest of skirts they have lost a great deal of the outward respect and consid eration which used to be shown them in the days of fuller petticoats. - "So I say let us get back to petti coats and gain once more the consider ation and respect which are no longer shown to women who wear the ridicu lous fashions of the day.” Do You Know— / China possesses a coal field with an area of 21,000 square miles.

In Zaratanto, Spain, a case has oc curred which is probably unique of its kind. A child has just been born while his father, grandfather, great-grand father and great-great-grandfather are all living. His name is Urrltlcoachea, and the family are Basque farm labor ers.

The lamps will be titled with copper cylinders exposed to the air. When the sun arises in the morning its rays will cause the. cylinders to expand and so close valves which admit gas to the burners. As the sun goes down and the air cools the copper cylinders will contract, so opening the valves and admitting gas to the burners, where it will be lighted by small pilot jets re sembling the ordinary by-pus* "Do you think. Miss Blaney, the typi cal 'Ann' woman, the man hunter, re grets the loss of her frilly petticoats?” "You may be quite sure that the Ann woman wears the latest and the most up-to-date things. She’s probably en veloped in the tightest skirt she can get, and on her it is another attrac tion.” Miss Blaney had put the last touch to her frock and pinned a fascinating little curl in place over her right ear, and was now ready for the stage. Her coiffure, by the way, is a most inter esting one. The front hair is parted and waved back naturally, .the back hair Is wound around the head in a tight swirl fitting the head closely and bringing out Its prettily modeled con tour. The curl is made of the end of the hair, "You haven't told me a thing about health and beauty,. Miss Blaney,” I re monstrated as I left the dressing room. “Never mind; I really do nothing for my health. But if you can put In a plea for petticoats I should be glad. I think that’s a much more Important subject,” said Miss Blaney 6 s I bade her good-bye. FOR HIS FAMILY’S SAFE. Paterfamilias was a very robust man, but he called in the doctor. If the truth be told, Paterfamilias was so healthy, so big and so robust that he had grown into the habit of bullying his family. "I don’t know what'e the matter with my family,” he remarked to the medico, “but my wife is nervous, my children are suffering from something—l don't know what. In fact, the whole house hold is upset. All the servants are bor dering on nervous prostration. What do you think about it?” The doctor was z a friend of the fami ly, and knew a little of its history. “I think it would be all right,” he said, "if you took a six months tour of Europe—alone.” "Me?” replied the father ungrammat ically, in his surprise. "Me?” “Yes,” replied the doctor. “For the health of your family."

DAYSEY MAYME APPLETON and three of her friends started out one morning to spend the day shop ping together. “Now, we want it understood.” said the Suffragette, "that each one pays her own expenses. There is to be no treat ing.” When they passed through the ticket office, the Meek One was the only one who had change, and she paid the car fare, each one declaring she owed the Meek One a nickel. At the nbtion counter the Suffragette borrowed thirteen cents of Daysey Mayme to pay for a writing pad on which to note down Reasons Why, and the Frivolous One borrowed two cents of the Meek One, and eleven cents from Daysey Mayme to buy a box of pink powder, all of which borrowing was done to avoid the long wait for change. At the luncheon hour, Daysey Mayme traded her fifteen-cent pudding for the Frivolous One’s ten-cent ice cream, and the Suffragette found, by borrowing two cents from Daysey Mayme and a penny from the Frivolous One, that she had change to pay the Meek One for her share of the first carfare. During the day it was necessary to pay three additional carfares, and the Suffragette was the banker on the first occasion, and Daysey Mayme, the Friv olous One and the Meek One unitea their resources to pay the remaining fares. There were two visits to soda foun tains, which resulted in Daysey Mayme owing the Frivolous One seven cent.’ more, the Meek One two cents less, and increased the debt of the Suffragette to her to thirty-seven cents. “If you count the stamp I paid the Frivolous One which you owed her, and the difference in the cost of the des sert at lunch,” said Daysey Mayme “and the nineteen cents I borrowed from you at the corset counter, and your lemon ice I paid for; was that ten cents, or fifteen? why I will owe you —no, you owe me—no, we don’t owe each other anything; that is, we both owe the Meek One and the Frivolous One, but you don’t owe me as much as I owe them, and they owe you more.
