??oncluxlou after ii l??M stormy i m ?* i
vlt-vv. 1 1 ssh* thfe first tprfM In au
uleul married year. |W) therefore
moat hitter. Linda hud heard ao much
of deslgnlug, vampish women of late.
;tnd had trembled berore Ihelr power,
as portrayed by flie s* v??u. that she
had, Ml It were, been on the watch
for this dreaded Intrusion Into her
own happiness, and It had conic.
Jack, the faithful, was actually seen
by Linda's deareHt friend driving
with his new pretty stenographer on m
far-away country road. Moreover, the
friend stopping later at Willow Inn
for tea. hud been horrified to tlnd
Jack partaking of the same tea, with
the girl of his employ.
Gladys hurried home to tell Linda
before Jack ahould return, and when
lie did return, still early In the eve
ning, lie was met with a surprisingly
frigid reception by his erstwhile lov
ing wjfe. Jack could not understand
the sudden change, but after a sob
hlugly confused upbraiding by that
formerly genlle creature, he was made
aware flf Ijls sin and as Indignantly de
li ied Mie accusation, vr. The fact re
mained that he had driven with Miss
lluhlah Brown, however, and had un
mistakably tea'd with her at Willow
Inn; and though Jack pointed out that
the trip was a purely business one,
that he had been sent for by a valued
client, and It was absolutely neces
sary to have his stenographer with
him, Linda's outraged feelings were
not appeased. .
"If," she Inconsistently explained,
"the Huldah Brown person were old
and ugly1, It might appear differently."
Huldah Brown was undenlnhly
neither. Jack Indignantly refused to
promise her discharge, or even that he
'?be seen no more In public with bis
stenographer; until that arrangement
shbutd he made, the jealous Linda
had. so to speak, severed family re
lations. The young Injured husband
Was doomed in his own home to the
life of a stranger ? <and"n disappointed
stranger at that. So, nf length, Linda
resolved to start for the seaside, leav
ing Jack ' to the capable ministrations
of "Mary," the long-trusted . family do
ipeslle. The seasUle proved this time
a dPFSry place of sojourn. Linda won
dered how she ever found lt so %le
llghlful. Of course, before there had
been Jack's long, loving letters, and
Ills weekly visit. What a Jolly com
panion Jack had been, how comfort
ing and protecting. - Linda Just coukl
not thihk of her unruly husband with
out an annoying lump in her throat.
Now. his letters were scratches of the
pen. and he came not at all at week's
end. It wus the vampish Influence of
Huldah Brown which held him, of
course, for he would still not give In
to the girl's dismissal. Well, neither
would Linda give In. She sighed, she
wept ; then Linda wrotA her "scare"
letter. She told .Tack Just what she
thought of him, and hinted darkly that
she might never return.
Jack did not answer the letter, .the
last one which came from him had
evidently crossed hers in the malL
He stated briefly that Mary had left
ntm to his own resources. He would
try to get along as best he could,
with the help of the delicatessen.
Linda had visions of a white sink filled
to overflowing with her fine, soiled;
china, of rumpled beds far from
restful to a clty-tlred. lawyer. She
tied frightened visions', also, of Peep,
ihe canary, seedless In his golden cage,
and Bob, the ^errler. Would Jackie
remember to feed poor Bob?
Mentally. Linda nave to her lonely
husband his old pet name ? mentally
Linda was undergoing a change. Pity,
also, was taking the place of anger.
Hut though she waited eagerly, tense
ly. Jack mnde no response to her
threatening letter. Kvldently, If she
intended never to return to him. she
might remain where she was as far
as he was concerned. Then one night
she read his advertisement for a maid
in the want column of the city paper.
The address designated was that of
their own apartment. Repentant tears
filled Linda's eyes. and it was Jackie's
lock of care about which she now was
thinking, and fiot that of RobN, <lr the
canary. It was with a new and deep
crease between his gloomy eyes that
Jack settled himself next evening to
await tin* applicants criming In answer
to his advertisement. He chose the liv
ing room as being least discouraging
In its hiek of housekeeping attention
And be ?hs wondering as be sat if be
could Mill hold out against Linda's
unreasonable demand. His conscience
and bin pride rebelled against the

of American construction, with steel

On our western prairies und plains the

Indeed a fine feature In the monot

FAMOUS CHIMES RING AGAIN
Bells of St. Clements, in Old London,
Appeal to Children, as in
the Olden Days.
"Oranges ami Lemon*" rang out on
the old hells of St. ('lenient* on the
last day of March on an evening as
llfte as any during the finest winter
London has ever known. The bells
rang, but few heard them, prevented
by the roar of the Strand truffle, It
was the first time the old nursery
rhyme had been rung out from the
steeple for a very long while. Some
hundreds of school children, who had
heeu invited to attend the church, filed
out at the close in small processions,
piloted a crows Ihe streams of traffic by
the London policemen. Every child
carried an orange or a lemon, a gift
which made up to them for the faint
lones In which the voices of the old
hells reached their ears. Down the
street* with the historic names running
from the Strand to. the Thames, St.
Clements music was ntore audible, the
sound carrying over the noise and roar,*
and into the offices where anybody,
with a turn of mind for antiquity, has
but to throw open his window to hear
the sound of a bell cast tin the year ef
the Spanish armada.
Unnecessary to Graft Skin.
When much skUi Is destroyed in
burns, a common resort is skin graft,
applied either in small Isolated patches
to grow gradually over the surface, or
in pieces up to two or three Inches
-square to cover a large portion or all
of the wound. At a recent medical
meeting, Dr. E. G. Beck of Chicago
called attention to a process of culture
by which skin may be made to grow
without grafting, even over large sur
faces. Ah the wound heals the granu
lations at the edge of the spreading
fresh skin place an elevated barrier in
Jts way and If these granulations are
removed as often as every 24 hours
th? patient's own skin Is glvfen a
chance .and may: be watched spreading
over the entire surface. A protective
covering of paraffin often promotes the
replacement of skin without grafting.
Iron Germs.
In the same manner that coral is de
rived from certain minute sea-Insect*
who flourish In the South Pacific, so
certain Iron ores are obtained from
particular microscopic organisms.
That Is the latest scientific discovery,
which promises Interesting develop
ments.
It has been proved Lliai these germs
not only aid In the decomposition of
rocks and In the formation of chalk
and limestone, but play an active part
in the forming of iron-ore deposit**.
Laboratory cultures have been made
of bacteria which deposit Iron com
pounds both In surface water* and in
mine water hundred* of feet under
ground, and the haul crusts and slimy
masses that choke up water-supply
pipes have been found to be composed
of millions of these 4' Iron bacteria."
