"When the ushers started toward the

Sh,. xv?s only thirty-six. |,ut looked
many year* older. had been a
WU fate. Married to a man whose
unworfhinesK H|h, learned too late,
love replaced by tl ? most horrifying
oread, she had fled from him as from
a pestilence, and for neatly a year
L under an assumed name had been
practically In hldlug.
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.

ALBANIA FIRST IN FIELD
"Dairy Lunch"* Well Known In That

The "pick 'era yourself" places may
have heen a novelty In the United
States ten or fifteen years ago, but
even then they were an old Institu

The carefully scrubbed marble top
of the American dairy lunch, resting
on a long table of marble front and
sides, Is replaced In the Albanian one
by a dainty piece of rock about six
feet long, three feet wide and four
feet deep, resting on a bulky bit of
timber, which, in turn, is supported
by wooden legs Just as bulky.
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. ( ?

not a slow growth ? that It is of the

evidently as true of the genius of the

of the more esthetic forms of genius.

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.
