Dick stared a moment and then be- I
gan to laugh, which, under the clrcum- '
stances, was tho v,’«M tiling he could
have done, Mary's eyes began to blaze, ,
and the tears disappeared.
“It’s a Joke, is It?” flic* binned.
"Well, It's time It was broken. Here
Is your ring. I'm sorry for your wast
ed time, and, since you are so anxious
(o bo married, I hope you will find
some one who will have you right

She slipped from the room, and not
until lie heard the door of her room
shun did Dick recover from ills amaze- ‘
ment. Then he laughed again and, !
putting tho ring In his pocket, loft tho
house.
"Poor little Mnry!" In* mused. "Well, l
! boo that I’ll Imvo to get her father to
help."
Mary, watching Iron stride up the •
street whistling “Mary, Mary, Long 1

her big chair uud wept.
“He wanted it broken! lie wanted J
It broken!” she wailed.
Once admitted to tho Inner office
Dick took tho leather chair which
Mary'a father Indicated with Ills foot,
accepted a cigar and lit It.
“Is tills a business call or just a
visit?”
"Both. I’ve been up 1o see Mary.”
“Strange. Anything doing? Will
Mary marry?”
“Site says site won’t. In fact, she has
Just given mb back my ring, I say site
must, and I want you to help me.”
“Of course 1 can't foreo my daughter
to marry you If,she does not want to,"
grinned Mr. Arnold.
“Yea, you can—if you go about It
right. You boo"— And lie briefly out
lined his talk with Mary. Mr. Arnold
smoked fiercely while the young man
, talked, and then they went over a de
tailed plan together.
When the young man finally left, the
eider shook his hand heartily.
“I'll do my best, Dick. Mary’s a good
daughter, but she’ll make just as good
a wife, and I'll divide."
That evening Mnry came to tho din
ner table led eyed aid white faced.
Little by little her father drew the
story from her. When she had finish
ed he said: “I'm glad of It, Mary. I
never would have asked you' to give
him lit), but I am tliaukfu! that you can
rco for yourself." lie did not say
what she could see. “And now that

now that lie’s gone”—
Mary gasped and stooped for her
napkin, sitting up again with a red
face. Not care for Dick! Perhaps
Dick thought that too.
“And, aside from that,” went on her
father, “I have been engaged to Ma

what the first wick consisted of, but
when wo conic to consider the Iron
lamp, tip "crush*,” we know that the
nick commonly used was the pith of
tho rush, which was gathered
partially stripped of its outer green
covering, cut into proper lengths, dried
and tied up into bundles ready for use.
The iron lamp was hammered out of
one piece of Iron iu a stone mold. This
was usually done by the blacksmith,
and the molds are still to lie seen In
museums, In the bands of private col
lectors and no doubt at some of the
country blacksmiths’ shops. They are
of one uniform shape, with some slight
varieties. The lamp consists of two
cups, one suspended above and Inside
tho other. The suspender is so fixed

cup, which holds the <v't and wick, to
