STORY OF A WORRIED WOMAN. It Casght the Interest and Sympathy of tne Prosperous Loungers at the Fashionable Hotel, and the Rest of the Scheme Was Easy. "The prosperous" were lounging on the terrace of the leading hotel in the fashionable waterin% place sunning themselves. It was a mfgnfincentsaft ernoon. Everybody was lazily good tempered and contributed to the gen eral air of well fed contentment. And then "the woman" put In an appear ance. For a moment she stood on the stone steps that led up to the terrace, besi tating. "The prosperous'' gaped at her and wondered why she was there. They probably classified her as one of the "respectable poor." "The woman" could not disguise the fact that she was in trouble of some sort. She advanced upon "the pros perous" and glanced timidly from face to face. Then, gathering her courage in both hands, she walked right past them into the vestibule of the hotel. A little buzz of speculation arose. There was no doubt about It. They found "the woman" Interesting. - "Wonder what's worrying her?' said one. "Perhaps she thinks of puttg up and is a bit doubtful about te cui sine," cackled a would be wit. The cold stare with which his remark was received told him that It was consid ered to be in decidedly bad taste. As a fact, "the prosperous'' were inclined to feel sympathy for "the. woman." They had been well fed, and it was a magnificent afternoon: also they were genuinely curious. Soon she came out again, lookIng more dejected than ever. She looked around as if for a less public means of escape, but, finding none, strode des perately forward. "My good woman, you seem to be In trouble. Can I do anything?' It was the elderly military looking man In the corner who spoke-spoke gruffly as one who is In the !:bit of doing favors ungraciously. "The pros perous" thought it a trifle daring. But they were secretly glad. And they lis tened. "No, sir. thank you." replied "the woman." , And then she belied her words by a muffled sob. "I-I-it's nothing, sir-nothing at all," she added. The military looking man rose from his seat. "Have the goodness to take that chair," he said peremptorily, "and tell us the truth. I have no doubt that we shall be able to assist you." When she had partly composed her self "the woman"- stammered out her story, with the aid of much prompt ing from her companion. "I am a widow, a color sergeant In the Welsh Grays my husband was. I let lodgings In the town. There was a gentleman called Colonel Morrish boarded in my house nigh on six months; said he'd pay me as soon as his dividends or somethin' came in at the half year. "I managed to hold out and gave him the good table as he was accus tomed' to. though It meant owing the landlord. But I'd do anything to have the gentry in my house." "The prosperous" murmured sympa thetically. "Just before the six months was up he said he'd have to come an' stay at this hotel to meet one of the directors who was going to pay him his money. An' now they tell me that there never was no one here by the name of Colo nel Morrish. And-and-the bailiffs come Into my house this mornin', an' they'll take all my furniture for the ?12!I owe the landlord." "Twelve pounds!" repeated the mili tary looking man. He hesitated and then fumbled in his pocket. "Well, dash it, here is ?2 toward It." And his voice was gruffer than ever. He glared fiercely at the meek little' man by his side, who promptly began. the fumbling process to covert his con fusion. Others fumbled, too, and at the end of a couple of minutes the ?12 was there. "I-I-can't take it, sir. I" "Madam, don't talk like a fool" thundered the military looking man, "Run home and pay out those-ball ifs.", Late that evening in a room in the poorer quarters of the town "the wo man" was fingering the sovereigns. "That's ten quid to the good, any howl" she said complacently. "Where shall we try next'?' "Don't know, old girl. But I was thiking of Brighton." It was the millgry looking man who answered.-London Answers. Appropriate. "Did you hear that that poor fellow who lost both his legs in an automo bile accident intends to go Into poli tics?"

Ethel S Ste vens, in "My Sudan Year." qjuo'tes a story told her by Bishop Giwynne oft his "boy's" coming to him one day and announcing, "The devil is in the house." "Oh." said the bishop. "that Is very interesting! When did he arrive?" "He came In with the cook from the souk market yesterday evening." "Really?" commented the bisho'p. puzzed. "Yes, and in the night he came out f the cook and passed into me." "Oh. and what did he do?" "He went to the cupboard and broke plate and the top of the jam jar." A light broke In on the bishop. "Oh, he was after the jam! I sup pose he ate some?" "Yes." said the boy, "he did!" The idea of devil poss~ession Is not :erely an elaborate form of exenue: the native servant really believ.es in It. OLEYHlORETTAR MAGIC OF COLORS By It We Know of What the Sun and Stars Are Composed. SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE. How They Were Revealed by the Dis covery of the Spectrum and the Rea soning to Which It Led-Our Eye lashes'Are Primitive Spectroscopes. The miracle of the spectroscope is re peated before our eyes every day and every night without our recognizing it. If people were more observant and more accustomed to think about the meaning of what they see great dis coveries would be as plentiful as dia monds in a Kimberley pipe. A man said to me the other day, "What Is all this color that I see\when I squint my eyes and look at an elec tric light?" I replied: "It is the greatest rev elation that man has ever bad in the physical world-it Is spectrum analy sis. Your crowded eyelashes become an astronomical instrument and ana lyze the light for you into its primary colors. The multitude of narrow slits through which the light passes as you squint your eyes act like a diffraction grating and change the direction of the various waves of light In accordance with their length. "The red waves are long, one thir nine-thousandth of an Inch in length, and they keep on without much change of direction, but the violet waves are short, one fifty-seven-thousandth of an inch in length, and they are consid erably turned out of a straight line. All ,the intermediate waves, from or ange. through yellow, green, blue and indigo, decrease in length and are more and more turned aside as they get shorter. The consequence is that you see through your nearly closed eyelashes a band of colors, which Is nothing but the famous spectrum of the astronomers." By the discovery of that spectrum and the reasoning that it led to we have found out what the sun and the stars are made of. Every known ele ment of matter, when it is made to shine, gives out wave lengths peculiar to itself. Spectroscopic Instruments more perfect than the eyelashes reveal these special waves in the light of the sun and the stars and by that revela tion enable us to detect the incandes cent clouds, composed of the hot va pors of iron, copper, nickel. platinum, carbon. calcium, sodium and many other substances which glow in the atmosphere of the heavenly bodies. We find these things In stars so far away that their Ught may require 1,000 years to come to us, although it flies with a speed of 186,300 miles per second. Look around you when you enter a brilliantly lighted parlor with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceilng The mysterious spectrum flashes at you from a hundred directions at once. The glass crystals of the chandeliers are also spectroscopes, and they, too, separate the various colored waves, though on a somewhat different prin ciple. They act not as diffraction grat ings, but as prisms, but the effect is nearly the same. When light -goes through a prism the red waves are less bent out of their course than the or ange. the orange less than the yellow, the yellow less than the green, the green less than the blue, the blue less than the Indigo and the indigo less than the violet The result Is that what was white Uight, 'with all its waves Intermingled, when It entered the prism, comes out in beautiful sheaves of color. A similar effect Is produced by the beveled edge of a mirror or the facets of a piece of cut glass glittering on a dinner table. The beauty of jewels depends upon their spectroscopic powers. Every transparent substance has its own "in dex of refraction," which means Its peculiar power of turning light waves aside. The diamond, as the king of gems.possesses this power in the high est degree. Calling the refractive in dex of air 1.00, that of glass is from 1.51 to 1.71; according to Its density, while that of the diamond is 2.47. This property alone furnishes a means or detecting the genuineness of a diamond. Taking advantage of its high refractive power and shaping its facets accordingly, the jeweler can vastly increase the brilliancy of a dia mond by proper cutting. He can bring about Internal reflections that make the stone blaze as If its atoms were all afire. The shimmer of colors In an opal is due to the existence of invisibly mi nute fissures, which split up the light waves and scatter their hues in deli cate. Intermingled rainbows. Nature has been doing these things for thousands of years in plain sight before man found out that he could use the principle on which she acted to uncover the secrets of the universe. Very likely she Is giving us many bth er equally valuable hints which we are still too stupid to understand.-Garrett P. Serviss in Spokane Spokesman-Re view. Untrustworthy.
