After awhile she addressed the leader, saying: "I hear that you Intend to play a trick upon some one. I am very fond of a lit tle practical Joke myself and should be glad If you would allow me to join you on this occasion." " 'With pleasure,' was the reply.

A 8EAMLESS TUBE. / Tkm Art Thm Oytntlsu fey Wfcleh It May B* Made. Henry Souther said at a recent meeting of the National Association of Mechanical Engineers that the scientific and technical designation of a tub* whether seamed of WtfunlftM, depended solely upon the tubs itself and not upon the prooeas followed In its manufacture. Referring to the die ttonaiy you will find that the word " seam less" means without seam, which oonveyi no light upon the subject. Turning to the irord"seam," it is found that it is dnflnsrt as a joint, suture, or line of unloa end hers in the last term we find the key. A tubs loin ted In any way cannot be seamless. If in the primary stages of its manufacture It be lap, butt or look jointed, it cannot by any subsequent operation be deprived of the seam and therefore cannot be oon o 1 dered when completed as being seamless. A strictly seamless tubo may be mads by any one of three operation*?first, a billet may be by successive stepe punched. Into the form of a tube with extremely chick sides, and these may then Dy cut or dinary drawing processes be reduced to cube with thin walls; next, the billet may be bored or the blank may be cast with a hole in it and in either case, then drawx to the required dimensions; thirdly, th? cube may be made by the cupping prooess, whioh consist# in taking a disk of the metal, forming it Into a cup shape, grad oally elongating the cup and reducing II In diameter and finally by means pro duoing a tube. Each and all of these processes yield a cube whioh is absolutely seamless and about which there la and can be no dis pute. In all tubes formed with a seam the edges have first been separated, then united, either by lap or butt Weld or by tome lock joint system, and in these the joint cannot be eliminated by any after processes.

One nigbtata oafe ohantant bo rebuked Aobllle Emaux, professional duelist, for interrupting a linger and publicly derided him as a oad and a reviler of ladles. A duel was in* stantly arranged to take plaoe next morn ing. Mile. Ladouner vras in tho theater with her nnole and witnessed the inoident. Jules, whom she loved with her whole heart and soul, would be u oorpse before another day had passed 1 That was the one thought that filled her brain, and for time in ber distress and agony she wai almost demented. Bat by degrees she forced herself to be calm. At whatever cost her lover most be saved. Half an hour before midnight, when her mother bad retired, she quietly stole out and mads her way as furtively as a thief to Exnaox's residence. He had not returned, and she was oblig ed to wall It was nearly 1 o'clock when the bravo oame In, hamming a funeral march, as was his custom on the eve of a duel. "Good evening, mademoiselle," he said as she rose on his entranoe. "This Is an unexpected pleasure, though I regret to say I do not recognize you, and my man did not catch your name. Praybe seated, mademoiselle^ and tell me what I can do for you." She obeyed, and he seated himself oppo site her. Sbe was trembling and quiver ing, and her throat was so dry that shs could scarcely speak. But. at the sight of him sitting there, gay, careless and smil ing, and yet to be in a few hours tha butcher of her beloved, a tempest of pas* lion shook her, and her tongue was loosed. "Monsieur," she cried, rising again, "you are infamous, a boast?nay, chat is an Insult to the poor beasts I I loathe you! You defile the earth! Pahl you small of blood!

"You shall fight me, ruffian I? He shook his head, with an amused smile. "Mademoiselle's best weapon la her tongue, and that fortunately doe* not kill." 8he looked at him with terrified eyes. "Do you mean to kill him, monsieur?" "Yes," he said curtly. > She fell back Into the ohalr with m strangled cry, horror In her eyes. For a moment she sat thus, then sha flung her* self on hor knees at his feet. "Monsieur," she orled, "have pity, have pity I I love him. Monsieur, you will kill both of us! Pity, pltyl" she gasped. "Rise, mademoiselle, I bog of you," he said. "You have just told me I have no pity." "Have you no heart, monsieur?" she moaned. "None when a man has publicly Insult ed me.

She flushed m momentary heat at thai "You do not know him," sha cried. "His love is as great as the sea. Can you exhaust the sea? Has your heart never known love, monsieur?" ~ j He frowned.

It was a girl little youngor than this one and quite as beautiful who had died ten years ago, and all good influences had died with her. ' You have overoome, mademoiselle," he said. "He shall live for your sak*" "You will spare himf" ' "Be comforted, mademoiselle. I meant to kill him, but he shall live. We shall fight at dawn, but he shall not dla. Come, mademoiselle, it Is time you were gone. Shall I see you safely boms?" "No, no," she cried as he led her to the door. "Ton will keep your oath, mon sieur?you will not forget?" "No, mademoiselle, and you will not forget your prayers?" Ike said, with a little laugh. "If you are right, I need them. Good night and fear nothing." But she did fear. When she reached home, It seemed to her almost impossible to believe that a man with snob a ruthless reputation would forbear to kill the man who had insulted him. She went to bed, but she oould not rest and soon got up again and toward I o'clock stole toward the spot when the duel would take plaoe. From behind a shrubbery, In what state of mind may be Imagined, she saw both parties arrive on the field, she saw the formalities gone through, but she lostoon eoiousness for a minute when they stood pistol in hand facing one another. When she recovered and oould raise her eyes, the dootor was binding up the arm of her lover. Emaux's bullet had inflicted a ?uperfiolal flesh wound, and Emaux wu apologizing to his friends.
