It doesn't matter now what it was about; the chances are. says the Kansas City Times, that in their anger neither remembered anything: except that he had disappointed her in some awful, unforgivable way and she had seized the diamond engagement ring from a dainty, slender finger and thrust it upon him with a gesture of infinite scorn. For an instant he held the circlet in his hand, ruefully. For another instant he paced the porch, hands in his pockets, head low, his voice quivering with emotion as He pleaded, suddenly he stopped in front of her. "That's final, is it?" he inquired. "Pinal." she replied, icily. "No man with a spark of"? "All right," he snapped. "This thing's no use to me, then." His right arm shot out like the arm of a hall pitcher and a second later the tinkle, tinkle of metal on the concrete walk half a block away told her he had thrown the ring away. "Oh!" she cried, and there was sudden anguish in her heart. "I didn't mean it. We must find it?at once." "I don't care for it," he said, stubbornly. "Life has mighty little, now, to make?" "Silly," she cried. "Help me?immediately." He couldn't let her go alone, with night coming on. so, after proper reluctance, he followed. In the eagerness of searching, all her anger melted. It took a long time, but finally he stopped quickly, and exclaiming "here it is," held up the diamond ring. What happened in the lext hour is nobody's business except their own. The human, masculine part of the story was disclosed to his bosom friend late that night in the quiet of their room. "Had it in my pocket all the time," he said. "Threw a quarter down the street, and, dad bling it, I didn't find it either." But it did the work. I ncu if Arl?Two brothers had the habit of calling on the same girl. One of the brothers, George, was to take part in some private theatricals, and the | girl had promised to fix up a shirt and a pair of shoes for his costume. The articles were to be delivered to her on ' a certain evening. Frank, the second brother, took it 1 into his head to call on the girl that same evening. Frank knew nothing of the arrangements George had made ' with her to help him with his costume. ! He rang the bell, asked the maid to tell the girl that Mr. Allen had called ' and sat down in the parlor. ' The maid went upstairs and pres- 1 entl.v returned, trying hard not to 1 smile. * "Miss Jones says she is busy just ( now and that you are to send up your 1 shirt ard shoes," was the message she 1 handed Frank.

But when he | reached the ninth house, or rather was helped away, he was thoroughly dis- ( gusted. The town certainly had him hoodooed. After a short rest and a deep think the hungry one knocked at the door of , the tenth house. "Madam, can you let a hungry man have a bite to eat? I don't think you can, though," he said.

The following days the same thing happened. Still the neignbor took them up and said nothing till the seventh came over and hit him on the head.

He expects to receive his commission promptly, and to take charge of the postofflce on July first. He announces the appointment of Mr. Archie L. Jenf movement of farmers from the northwest to Chester county has begun. Mr. A. S. Rogers of South Line, Mich., attracted by the stories of the splendid farms of Messrs. S. D. Cross and T. J. Cunningham near this city, has come to Chester with a view of looking over the field and ultimate purchase of a suitable farm and will move his family to this county and become, a permanent settler in such an event. Information received this afternoon conveyed the information that Mr. A. S. Rodger had purchased a farm through Mr. R. R. Hafner from the Chester Land and Investment company, and will make Chester county his home. The farm is located east of the city. Over $50,000 worth of cotton was destroyed yesterday evening by a heavy hail storm which swept over a strip of country in the Halsellville section of Chester county live miles long and two and one half miles wide. At least 1,000 bales of cotton is the average yield from this section and $50,000 is a conservative estimate of the loss. Iti addition much corn and other crops were ruined so that many thousands of dollars in crops were destroyed. Those who suffered most from the storm were John S. Stone, Ed. John and Dave Coleman, Martin Colvin and Henry Owens. Mr. Stone's entire crop was practically ruined. An area of four hundred acres on his place producing annually on the average, 350 hales of cotton was ruined l?y the hail so that he was probably the heaviest sufferer. Others were hit so that the monetary loss from this storm reaches enormous proportions Sunday night a little negro boy broke into the office of the Southern railway ticket office, fixed himself a ticket to Savanrah and rifled the cash drawer from which he only got five cents in cash and then hiked out. He took the train for Sa vannah and when the conductor tool up his ticket he at once had him ar rested. The boy is very young: an< evidently had been reading: about th< easiest way of obtaining a passage t< Savannah free.

That summonses from the office of At' torney General Lyon have been servec on several local parties to be present ir the court on Monday morning, Jul> 4th, at the convening of the summei term of court for Chester county i: what the Lantern has learned. WhiU nothing definite has been obtained it is certain that the dispensary trials wil come up for trial before the coming term of the court of general sessions which convenes for a week's sessior on Monday, July 4, with Judge Shipg presiding. Just what will develop ir these cases is not known. There art two cases on the calendar, one against Ja..es Farnum, charged with bribery and one against Jodie M. Rawlinson Jos. B. Wylie, John Black, Jas. S. Far num, John T. Eariy, h. uee nmimhuiis all charged with conspiracy. Of these all have made terms with the state except Black, Rawlinson and Solomons and only these three will be tried. 11 is presumed that the others will be used by the state as witnesses. It is said that the trial of the cases will be taken up immediately on the convening of court and will be in charge of Solicitor Henry, assisted by Attorney General Lyon. It is stated that the state will hardly have the array of high priced lawyers who conducted the flrsl trial of Farnum in Columbia and lost the same last fall. It is rumored that Solicitor Henry will have charge of the cases and will be assisted by the attorney general. Rumors of other indictments in connection with the dispensary graft cases are flying thick and fast. It is said that some of the long expected sensations will develop at the coming term of court here and that indictments against several more will be returned by the grand jury. It is common street talk that some people will be indicted which will be a surprise to the citizens, but just who these are is not known. The bills of indictment will be prepared by Attor "-""""i t i-r?n mih hnnded out to lit?)' ucuci ai v.. M..u the grand jury by Solicitor Henry on the convening of court. July 4. the morning on which court convenes, is a legal holiday, and following custom, the court will likely adjourn until Tuesday morning when active work will begin. Added interest in the coming term is manifested by reason of the trial of the dispensary cases. The state lost on Its first trial of the dispensary cases in Columbia and it is expected to make its second stand here and that both sides will fight hard and bitter is a foregone conclusion. Those 'dispensary cases on the docket have Nelson and Nelson of Columbia, marked as their attorneys. Mr. P. H. Nelson, who conducted the defense for Jim Farnum and successfully so, has been in bad health, but is reported as better, but whether he will be able to take active charge of the defense is a matter of speculation. The steps in these cases will be watched with much interest by the entire state. Fort Mill Times, June 23: The farmers of Gold Hill are arranging with the demonstration department of Clemson college for a farmers' Institute to be held at Gold Hill academy later in the summer.

The particuh J problem of preventing the escape ? f the radium was met by putting in ti ' lining of the safe a three-inch lay< v of lead. The capacity of the safe . placed at 1U0 pounds radium, wil jlan estimated value of $5,000,000,00 It is not expected that the entii 11 world's supply of radium will be su > ticient to overtax this capacity for good while to come. So far as is known, the problem < the construction of a safe for th 1 particular purpose has not yet bet i presented to any American manufai , turer. But the manufacturers on th side of the ocean have done still moi p wonderful things in the way of pr< i ducing a safe or vault that will n< ? yield to fire, earthquake or yeggmei j The manufacturers boast of the modern product that it is imperviot ' to any attack, and there are no dal on which to base a contradiction I j their boast. i Safes are broken into now and thei but in most cases they are of old< ' design or of cheaper constructio i than the high-class modern produc ? The Baltimore fire and the Sa . Francisco earthquake and tire ga\ the manufacturers some of their bei ' selling arguments. , For many years there has been . continuous warfare between saf< makers and safebreakers, not unlih ' that between the manufacturers < heavy guns and those of armor plat But there is this difference: Saf< makers long ago took the lead an ' their opponents have not yet caugl ' up with them outside or meiouranu The contest is unequal. The mar i ufaeturers are able business men an , engineers, the yeggmen for the moi part are of a low order mentally ? well as morally. Now and then thei is talk about some extremely clevt . safebreaker, but it usually is foun , that he uses the same tools that h predecessors used. Scientific men ai 1 continually making discoveries th? : might play directly Into the hands ( the crooks; but long before the latte ever hear of them the safemaking es ' perts have devised a means of com bating those very methods. Two great limitations operal against the bank burglar: He mu-1 do his work quickly and he must d it with such tools as he can easil carry about with him. The mechanism of a big moder , safe in a Providence bank went wron not long ago and the safe refused t open. The makers were notified an i experts were sent to Providence ? once. They carried complete workin drawings of the safe showing ever detail of its construction, and the were supplied with every tool th? 1 could be of use. Furthermore, the 1 did not have to do their work quietl or secretly. It took them just twelve days t 1 force their way into the safe. yeggman, without interference, woul , have been working at the job yet. In the old days a safe could be ai tacked from almost any side. A hoi was made through the steel wall wit the drill and through this the lock were manipulated. Then the maker began using steel that could not b drilled by any implement which th i burglar would have at his commanc and the attention of the safebreaker was directed to the doors. Safe doors of the old type seldor fitted snugly. So when he was pre vented from using the drill the opera tor took up the wedge as his imple ment, driving it into the crack along side the door and forcing the door of Or, working through the crack h could saw the bolts. A system c overlapping flanges and interlockin i?u.. ? ufnn tn this nractice. Junius JJUl u Oiup . 1 Then lock spindles were attacke and an effort made to drill them c drive them in or pull them out, s as to leave an opening through whic the locks could be reached. This ws quickly stopped by a change in con i struction. Then came what one expert on th lawful side terms the era- of nitre glycerine. The drill again ws brought into use where the metal c i the safe would admit, and where th > drill could not be operated the metho of "souping" was devised. By this method a cup of putty c ' similar substance is applied to th j crack and is rilled with nitro-glycei . in. The explosive is thus allowed t | run in through the crack and s reaches a point where its explosio will be sufficient force to drive th , door off its hinges or at least t knock out the bolts. But the safemakers knew of nitrt glycerin and its adaptability even be fore the burglars and began bulldin . a safe on which the explosive ca make little impression when used b ' any method yet devised. I The door of the older safe and e ? the small safe which is used by *h average tradesman, say, Is painter Even if the maker has been unkin enough to fit the door fairly cloj all the yeggman has to do is to scrat off the paint and he has a crac ready for his "soup." The moder safe door not only fits tighter tha the old-time maker dreamed a dot could be made to fit, but fits stei against steel?there is no painted sui face to be scraped off. This flttin L ur tne uoor is one in me mwiji ... I portant operations in safe construe r tion. The door is so hung that closes parallel with the jambs, whic L means that there is no necessity f< i allowing closing space. The surface I thus brought together are made t perfect as modern machinery ca make them, the door being groun f into place. In addition the edges < . the door fit into the jambs on a angle, so that when the door is close by the mechanical compressors o ' the outside it is wedged tight! against the jambs. t There is no crack or crevice of an kind to admit even the liquid "soup | The favorite test for the tightness < ! .these doors is to arrange a sort of va J of which the front of the safe font : one side, and to till it with wate ' The experiment is continued for si ' days, and if at the end of that tim " no moisture has made its way int ' the safe the safe is considered tigh One of the later ideas of safe bulk ing is that of the round door. Thi the manufacturers say, is best whei space about the vault is sufficient t allow it to swing. It necessarily larger than the rectangular doo The chief advantage of this door that its shape admits of its belli ground into place more tightly. The door of a modern vault is very complex piece of mechanism, ol ten containing several thousand dil ferent pieces, each one of which made accurate to the thousandth i an inch. The doors of the large.' vault run up to nearly two feet i thickness, and a weight of twent tons for the door alone is not ui common. The body of the vault itself is usual! built up of steel plates bound togetht with screws from the inside of tli vault, so that the screws cannot ti reached from the outside. The plait themselves are of two classes, thos t of hard and those of softer steel, s( ' in alternately. The steel of heigh tensile strengt 5 is used to resist the strength of hig ' explosives, while the other has gre? ' resisting power against drilling. I ? some cases a layer of twisted stei hars is added to the- plates on the it I side of tin- vault. This network < ' tin- strongest kind of steel will brea any drill that lias survived the al 5 tack on tlie steel plates and also add ; to the power of the safe for resist in the explosives. Where the ouside plates come to 1 get her from the angles and cornet of tlie safe or vault, massive angle of steel are welded over tlie joint, th ' plates themselves first being wedge ' together. The result is a solid ste< i box with the door its the only possihl ' chance at an opening?and that don ; is six hours watertight. The hurglai I he he ever so expert, stands a pnn show against such eonstructio ! methods. Hut the professional reputations o : the safe engineers and the busines success of their lirms tire at stake a i the time, and these men are not tak ing any chances. Every time a net i explosive or a new means of hreakin through steel is discovered the safe makers do not wait for a practical demonstration by bank wreckers, but immediately set up the bogey and 5" proceed to knock it down. For instance, the electric arc with j its terrific heat gave them a bit of a ' scare at first. Of course, no safe cracker had used it. and it wasn't n' likely that any would for he couldn't ? carry the necessary apparatus around to with him. and if he tapped a service 0 wire of the electric company the amount of current necessary would ir pull down the gauges at the power af house and act as a burglar alarm. ! ie But it was just as well to be on the sr safe side, so the experts went to work js and after long experimenting conh cocted an insulation that was proof even against the electric arc and at ,.p the same time could not be drilled. , Provided with this most elaborate of " all machinery for safe breaking, a yeggman could only penetrate the * outside plate of a vault and then , would have to stop before he had gone far from his starting point.?
