Since then she lmd gladly rellevedly harbored a companion, her only uear relative, a half-niece, Alice Baraton, who was with her now. A fair, gen* ! tie-fated girl of nineteen* she wax deeply stirred as she noted the un usual agitation manifested. To Mrs. Gaines she owed her education. For five years until she was equipped to face the world for herself, she, an orphan, had been supported by her generous, loving relative. She had re ceived by that time thorough training which enabled her to earn a fair In* come as a pen and ink artist. John Gaines had squandered all of the means of his wife. He dominated ***** Inspiring terror, It Wfl8 When he had tried to influence her to bring a suit based on forgery and ffaud, which he hud conceived against t-be estate of an uncle and which would rob three motherless children of their . all, that she had rebelled. Determined to forever escape the villainies of tho hushnnd she had learned to abhor, Mrs. Gaines had sought out Alice for shelter and ? sympathy. The true, brave-hearted girl had not wavered as to the sacrifices of duty and love. She planned a safe course for her relative and gnve up her position, and even the man she loved, to devote all her energies toward protect I rig th-j person who had done so much for h^r. They had stolen away together to another city and had found a refuge in n small suite of rooms In an ob scure building. Alice secured work she could do at home and Mrs. Gaines took J n occasional sewing to make ends meet. Pence and certain degree of happing came In time to the for lorn wife, ^WhUe Alice experienced the pleasures of duties nobly met nnd exe cuted. ^ - "Look! seel oh, Alice, the shadow,'* cried Mrs. Gaines, staring out of the window and across a ' narrow court. The room not twelve feet distant fue ing their own had its window shade drawn, but silhouetted across it by the interior lights was tfie figure and face, of a man. In shadow. The profile was perfectly distinct. "It Is he," panted the affrighted Mrs. Gaines. "Oh, there can be no mistake. Only yesterday I fancied I saw him on the street. That profile, the extending chin, the protruding brow. It is lie ? my husband." "Oh, it cannot he," replied Alice. "How should lie trace you here, and why should lie?" "To attempt to make me an instni1 ment to his crimes. See, he has lifted one edge of the shade and Is peering this way. Ah I now I am sure. He is making certain of his p^e.v before he sweeps down upon us. Alfttp, I shall dl? If he comes here. We must fly to the furthest ends of the earth if #need be/ but we two must never meet again face to face." Alice was now persuaded that Mrs, Gaines was suffering under no de lusion. She acted promptly and ener getically. They diligently occupied themselves packing their belongings in two suitcases, stole from Ihe house like guilty fugitives by a rear exit, secured a taxL and within f\ few hours were sequestered In a new home in a remote portion of the great me tropolis. The old fear had returned to the nerve-racked Mrs. Gaines, and Alice rarely left the neighborhood except wheq deeply veiled, . or aftei1 dusk. Neither could feel the security of es caping the menace that threatened. One evening Alice came face to /ace with her old-time lover, Barton Grey< as she was purchasing some goods In a store. ? t ' How he pleaded to know why she had so cruelly given hini up. And theii clearly Alice told him of the self-accepted responsibility she had assumed, and Insisted that while her old-time benefactress lived bi poverty and trouble she could - not,, would not, leave Iter. "And your nobleness of soul makes me love you ten times more than j ever," declared th^ loyal Grey. ' "You need friends, a protector. Let me know where I may find you, and this persecuted lady, Mrs. Gaines, and help you In devising a way to safely out wit and defy this recreant husband.'* Alice was persuaded to give Orey her address, though no encouragement as to his love suit, ffte hurried home to face a mighty surprise. Seated in the same room with Mrs. Gaines was i a man who exactly resembled the shadow profile that had driven thenf Into flight. . This is, a brother of my husband, j Alice," Introduced Mrs. Gaines, "and he has been seeking me to tell me that John Gaines is dead and that he feels It his duty to atone for his neglect by < placing me beyond the fear of want." And when Barton <?rey called next day It needed little urging under the changed conditions to Influence Alice to consider his proposal of marriage. *- In Iceluix) the, mother.

The whole is as rugged as the moun tains from which It all came. In the stone, somewhere back in the past, circularlike excavations were produced at regular Intervale. In the. bottom of these 'a hot charcoal Are smolders over which slowly cook the chicken, the turkey, the potatoes or the rice. At one end. of the rock are the knives, forks and plates. ( ?

"V* Smoke Recorder on Chimney, j A new application of the metal se lenium, suggested by a Frehch scien tist, L. Ancel, Is to use the selenium cells as smoke recorders in chimneys. A selenium cell is mounted on ons side of a chimney or flue; on the op posite side is fixed a lamp. ? The amount of light falling upon the se lenium . and hence the resistance of the cell will depend upon the density of the smoke in the flue; the flre can, therefore, be controlled by the galvan ometer records.
