"I thought it was all dead," the man said, pushing away his fingerbowl and taking two faded envelopes V from his pocket. They were scented faintly. "It's funny how things go on living, isn't it?" he mused, removing the letters and spreading them on the table. They were dated August, 1898. "I got them in the Philippines, ' he explained after a pause, "and I replied to them in an ordinary way. I don't know why I kapt them, Dr, perhaps I should say I didn't know then," he corrected slowly, "but I know now. It's very curious, isn't tt?" He took it for granted that thoughts so familiar to his own mind should be intimate to his friend. "I saw her again to-day," he said, "and it's all come back again, just as it was. Of course, she doesn't know," being only a man, he eliminated mere instinct from any mental ' process, "and she never will. But the first time I saw her down in that dingy little newspaper office in KanBaa she brightened it up like the scent and color of a rose garden. She sat there in the evening with the light shining on her fair hair, all gold and fluffy, and the skin on her white -arms glistening like ivory?and in evening dress." He emphasized that as being in somo way final, and relapsed into silence, wandering in the soft twilight of memory. "I was a country editor then," he said, suddenly'rousing himself, "and she had come as society editor while the other was on vacation. She had that trick of bringing things with h^r, flowers and books and?and things ?you know?" He sought vaguely for terms in the . speech of milliners and perfamers. "Ribbony and 'lacy things, you know," he plunged at last. "It made the old place feel awful uncomfortable and shabby. We got to straightening things up while she was out, getting the windows cleaned and the floors scrubbed, and I began Bhaving mornings instead of nights. ' It felt cleaner. "The pressroom was down in the basement, and the comps. and pressmen took to coming up quite frequently. I knew what it was brought f them," he said sagely, "but she didn't.- She just worked on quite innocently. "I hadn't spoken to her," he explained, taking a knowledge of some tender sentiment for granted, "and before the other one came back I went out with the Twentieth Kansas to the Philippines. I wrote her from there, just an ordinary letter, and ahe wrote these two back. There's nothing in them I can't show you. They're just ordinary." They were quite ordinary. The writing was characterless; the verbiage commonplace to the point of weariness. She probably had been only an indifferent understudy of the plain and useful person who usually filled the chair of the society editor on that country paper. They indicted neither humor or affection. And he had kept them stowed away Xc years. *1 saw her once, after I was mustered out," he said, putting the letters away in his breast pocket. "And she seemed just the same, as fair and fresh and fragrant as ever. We talked to each other casually. Somehow, I don't know why, I didn't even 'speak' to her then; and I came en here. A month afterward I read of her marriage to a row of apartment houses and a coal mine." He seemed to be groping back in his memory for some rag of a fluttering passion, some shadow of romantic regret. But he found none. The sentiment seemed close all through the years, but it moved on a narallol / track. It was not in his train. "A row of apartment houses and a coal mine," he ruminated, speculating on the probable income, and feeling dollar's worth of change in his pocket with reckoning figures. "And ?I got married, too."' That last he was cheerful about. But thte habit of being cheerful and consistently tender about his own marriage was habitual. "Then, of course," ho said, "I forgot. Or thought I had . . And I hadn't. It's a funny world, isn't it?'' He looked for exterior comment on the inexplicable humor of things to explain the situation, skipping the thought that visualized the tender places as fingers searching for a wound skip the contusions. "She never knew how it was," he said, quietly defying contradiction. "She didn't understand. I never said anything; how could she? And now she's living here, in the same town, with the row o? apartment houses and the ccal mine. I wonder what he's like.'* "Ho fplt. his own bicens in the nrim ' itive insvinct of the savage man warring for bis own. "Bald, perhaps," he said, "and flabby, and ?I wonder how she likes it.

A few years ago some one who knew how great was the warmth that might be secured from a few newspapers employed as a bed covering in winter tried the experiment of folding the same material under ordinary clothing in the daytime. Then came iieo o flAvihlo liDovv npr nf a special kind for coat linings and undergarments. The paper was called fibre chamois, because, while it was made out of cheap fibre, it was soft and flexible and looked a little like chamois skin. Much more recently the attempt has been made in Germany to produce garments from wood or paper fibre, not by cutting out large sheets and sewing them at the edges, but by spinning it into thread and weaving it into cloth. This plan differs from the one followed in manufacturing a certain imitation of silk, and is apparently cheaper. When ribbons are made by the so-called Chardonnet process wood is sufficiently dissolved by chemicals to become like thick mucilage. The substance can then be drawn out into extremely fine and rather tough threads and worked up into cloth which glistens as silk does. The product of the latest experiment is apparently not lustrous, and the threads are composed of paper which has not been treated with fluids which alter its appearance or character. Xylolin, as the article is called, can be bleached so as to look like cotton or linen, but, while not so elastic, it is said to be less expensive. It can, of course, be dyed, and by using threads of different colors pretty patterns are obtainable. Warmth rather than great durability is its chief recommendation, apparently, though as it does not attract moths it might make a good substitute for wool. The attempt to manufacture cloth out of paper twine is said to have been made repeatedly in the United States. Several patents for the purpose were taken out years ago, but for some reason it was not found advisable to operate under them. Now that the inventors' rights have expired, it is said that the idea is receiving a trial in this country. Apparently, though, the principal experiment with xylolin is being made in Germany. According to a recent consular report the yarn can be woven into almost any fabric, such as dress materiaLs, tents, bathing suits, imitation Panama hats, carpets and grain bags. Since xylolin is odorless it may make excellent bags for sugar, coffee and salt. Tapestries, not printed, but woven in colors, as well as toweling of xylo lin, are alike being produced. Not only can the yarn be used in coarser fabrics, but it has also been tried successfully in hand-made cushion laces. The yarn can be readily used in knitting and pleating. Woven xylolin treated with a waterproof dressing does not seem to crack by wrinkling or friction, to the injury of the water resisting coat. One would imagine that a fabric of paper yarn would readily ignite and that' a lighted match falling on a paper rug could be exceptionally dangerous. It is asserted, however, that a burning match stem will do more damage to a woolen or jute rug and be more likely to lead to disastrous consequences. While not uninflammable, an ordinary rug of paper yarn will burn scarcely easier than a wooden floor. Some criticism has been offered about paper cloth, with an inclination to compare it to sheet paper or rubber, , whereas even underclothing made of paper yarn has been found by experience to be satisfactory. Modern authorities on hygienic clothing decry the wearing of garments that are so woven as to permit only a very slow exchange of the toxic emanations of the body with the outer air. Accordingly, advocates of xylolin hope for a wider use of woven or knit paper cloth garments, not only among people who cannot afTord to buy more expensive clothing, but also among well-to-do classes, because the paper material is cleanly and readily laundered. Even caustic soap, instead of injuring it, is said to make the fabric softer. Radium in Rocks. The announcement of the discovery of radium in the Simplon Tunnel in sufficient quantity to appreciably raise the temperature is of considerable interest from a geological point of view. For if it can be shown that this element exists in any considerable quantity in the earth's crust, then the time during which it may be supposed the earth has been a possible scene of geological operations may be greatly extended. The earth, in fact, may be greatly older than was admitted possible by physicists. Foi radium would retard the rnoline- nf n once molten globe by continually radiating heat, and thus prolong th? time necessary for it to reach its present temperature. And this slower cooling would also prevent, to a large extent, the radical contractior , upon which so many geologists have ! relied as the means of the elevatior of mountain chains and other seculai movements of the earth's crust. The presence of considerable quantities of radium in the earth thus render: mrvr^ rvrnlmHlo tho f>1 nrvr 1 r\f movements which have been advancec by those well known geologists, M Mellard Reade and the Rev.

In the illustration a prettj gray and white marquisette is trimmed with gray silk banding anc ' combined with chemisette of lace, bul all materials that are soft and thir enough to be tucked successfully art appropriate, the many silks and sills and wool fabrics and also the prettj ilk and cotton mixtures that are so raried and so well liked, ^'he plain silk banding is effective and fashionable, but it is not obligatory, for any applique could be substituted that may be preferred. Again, the design is not confined to striped materials, as it can be made from plain or .figured ones quite as well. Crepe de chine and chiffon taffeta suit it admirably well and would be charming with trimming of heavy lacs, either In self color or in a lighter tone as liked. The waist is made with combined tucked and plain portions and is cut ' IB n H out at the neck so that it can bo worn with or without the chemisette. The chemisette is entirely separate and is arranged under the waist and closed at the back, but the closing of the waist proper is made beneath the edge of the left front. There are comfortably full sleeves that can be either tucked or gathered at their lower edges and that are trimmed with shaped bands. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-one, three and one-half yards tv.'enty-seveii or two yards forty-four Inches wide, five-eighth yard of allover lace and six and three-fourth yards of banding. Black Hops. The latest innovation where mil linery is concerned is that of black hops, which are substituted for brils liantly colored flowers, and a curious effect is gained in the case of white hats wreathed with these hops, which i give a mourning effect more potent > even than black ribbon or black flowers. In some cases the hops are i introduced on burnished mordorc straws, and interspersed with quantii ties of green foliage and loops oi > black taffeta ribbon. { Dressy Tips. i Hats have been bordered and lined ; with black for some time, but a prettv t reversal of this scheme is seen in a picturesque shape which is all blacl; > above, brim, crown and trimming ; but under the brim is of soft ivor} 5 drawn chiffon over white chip.

The blossom Is silky, dainty, illusive as the down of our own yellow dandelion oa its way to seed. From June until late August the tundra is white with the cotton-plant.

T1k cotton-plant will, in all probability sftne day, be the means of developing an Alaskan industry giving employment to thousands. To-day, however, the cotton-fields are purely decorative?a splendid sweep of immaculate bloom in a bleak, timberless landscape guarded by hills ever hung in veils of deepest purple. In great bouquets it is occasionally met in a miner's shack, while not a few housewives gather the cotton for pillow filling. Throughout the cotton-fields flowers bloom in abnormal splendor, as becomes a country In which the, sun shines continuously during summer's voluptuous reign.

Successful Experiments Made in Belgium with Coal Tar Extract. Vice-Consul J. A.

He writes: - "The experiments were principally devoted to the treatment of wooden poles and blocks used in street paving. The product is a liquid, of a ! dark brown color, very thin, and of f regular density. Its degree of viscosa ity changes very little with atmos5 pheric variations. One of the prinI cipal advantages is its pentration into 5 certain woods without any pressure, f For l;he antiseptic treatment of compact woods, using the apparatus sim9 ilar to the "Breant" system, the time necessary for the pressure and soaking into of a given quantity of injectol is considerably less than for'' any other antiseptic liquid, including s creosote. t "It has been found that where creosoted poles in the ground have only reslsxed decay for a few months, those treated with injectol remained t unat:acked after three years. Sim3 liar experiments were also made with x railway sleepers, treated with differr ent antiseptics. Some were soaked t in a mixture of coal creosote, creosote and chloride of zinc, and two were treated with injectol. After having been left for two years in a x steeping vat composed of miscel> laneous decomposing substances, it 3 was found that the two treated with t injectol were still in good condition, while the others were almost comf I pletely destroyed.

AUTO CRASH KILLS FOUR -1 & '3 Crowded Car Takes Wild Dash Down Hilt in Colorado Springs. Powerful Racing Mnchino Hits Telenhnnp WHIln fioinf at Terrific Speed. " ':m Colorado Springs, Col.?A powerful racing automobile occupied by 3even prominent Elks and a chauffeur, and built to hold hut three passengers, while running at a terrific rate crashed into a telephone pole at the bottom of West Jaurfano street hill here and was wrecked. Three of the occupants were killed outright, a fourth was fatally wounded and died next morning, and the others were more or les3 seriously hurt. The bodies of the three killed were mangled almost beyond recognition. The dead were: W. H. Ralston, a dealer in electrical supplies; H. Winnal and John S. Grey, formerly of New York; Britton L. Graves, druggist. The injured: James English, Geo. Buckley, F. K. Ward, A. W. Markscheffel. The men were returning from the N Elka' clubhouse at Manitou in a sixcyHnder, forty-horsepower machine. The car with passengers crowded into the two seats, on the hood and on the steps, plunged at a terrific clip down i* the hill. Markscheffel, who was driv- )1 ing, lost control of the wheel, and the powerful machine swerving from side to side across the car tracks, ran into the gutter. . o For fully fifty feet the heavy car e> v plunged onward, the right front and rear wheels running in the gutter ' and the left wheels a foot higher on the curb. Suddenly the right front;wheel struck some object and the machine was thrown .a distance of about forty feet down the hill against a telephone pole. Gray was precipitated out cf thQ car and jammed against the telephone pole. The entire left side Of his face was flattened and his skull was laid open, the impact tearing the top oC his head almost in two. Ralston evidently was thrown against the pole or against the board fence on the other side of the walk. His skull was fractured, as was also that of Winnal, who was hurled fifty, feet.
