DELMAR'S voice broke * TTTT k abruptly in the middle of a 2 M 2 sentence, for the play seemed suddenly transformed from jest to earnest and every word of it rose and struck singly at lier heart. The curtain had risen on the second act when a couple passed her, a woman whose flashing, sumptuous beauty attracted the eye irresistibly, in company with the man whom she had loved and honored for five years. So it was true what they said'of him, so true that he flaunted his infatuation openly, in flagrant disregard of the world'* opinion. She sat very still, trying to stifle the furious beating of her heart, which threatened to rise up and choke her. Then Mrs. Downing leaned toward her and said sweetly: "Isn't that Mr. Delmar? He is lucky to be able to get off when he likes. Few men can indulge in matinees. My poor Fred never has an hour of daylight to himself." "Yes, Ned is rather fortunate," answered Mrs. Delmar in a ghastly voice. "He eniovs the leisure, too." "So it seems. Isn't that girl magnificent? You know her, cf course?" At that instant some malevolent fate prompted Mr. Delmar to turn and g.ance over the audience,, which consisted largely of handsomely gowned women, with a few very young men scattered here and there, like sombre moths among a flock of gayly winged butterflies. He met his wife's gaze direct with a look of cool surprise, then bowed gravely and immediately resumed his conversation with the girl beside him, at whose beautiful face many glasses were leveled. Billy Norman, who had strayed in five minutes before the curtain rose on the second act, took in the situation in one comprehensive glance; then he changed his seat to the vacant one beside Mrs. Delmar. "Who is the girl?" Mrs. Downing asked eagerly, j "Isn't* she magnificent!" Billy exclaimed warmly, unconsciously repeating Mrs. Downing's previous remark which bad roused him to action. "She is as clever as she looks, too, isn't she, Mrs. Delmar? But for all thatj sh? couldn't have hit it off as great if it hadn't been for Ned. He put himself * ? ? ?* out a lot to get iicrtue part iuai 91CU vv\4 her upward, all because be happened to know her father. Just like Delfaar. He always finds time and means to boost some other fellotf along. That is a mighty rare trait nowadays," he sighed. "You are a.model wife to permit that ' sort of thing, Mrs. Delmar," said Mrs. Downing, with a hint of iucrednlity. "It Isn't every wife who would be willing to allow her -husband ?to exploit the affairs of such an extraordinarily lovely woman." v ^ "That goes toprovehow enttrelyshe knows her husband,*' said Billy airily. "By the way, Ned brought Miss Eldridge here to-day for the express purpose of introducing her to the English ' playwright who wants to find a star for his new play. Ned happens to have some sort of a pull with the Englishman. When I met Miss Eldridge at your house the other evening/Mrs. Delmar," he went on jauntily, entirely satisfied, according to his lights, in lying to save a friend from the venom of slanderous tongues, "she told me that Burke wouldn't have taken her if it hadnt been for Ned. Both she and her - * * M fiance swear uy i^euum.

"I am going home with you. if ' ; i may," said Billy, as he handed Mrs t- Delmar into her cab and seated him self beside her. "We will drive throug] : the park, wb?jre thatwecP-^k.,. v - uon't feel equal to talking, Billy, ((? | *!ue answered miserably. "For 110 pai j" ticular reason I am dreadfully tired. le suppose I take too little exercise." "Then don't say a word, but liste ;d to me, will you? I want to talk aboi Ned. Please don't feel as though yo pa ought to resent my attitude,'' be adde gently, "for it isn't the least bit dii loyal to bim. I simply waut to hel you both." "Billy, you can't. No one can. Yo are too young to understand, dea t boy." "Yes, I'm young," he admitted cheei fully, "but Fve managed to pack ai 0 awful lot of living into my twenty-si: 5* yeai'?."'

"What I should like to know is this: j Are you willing to do the one thing , | that will pull Ned out of the nightmare , | state he's in?" "Billy, that very question shows that | you don't understand in the least." "Oh," said Billy in a relieved voice, : "if yoif feel that way you'll win all right. I know that Ned has let himself ! go off inexcusably, but I am very sure he is still worth saving at a big cost, j I have watche.1 you both pretty closely, and know just how the case stands, i Ned is unbearably tired of the hollow life he's leading, for, truthfully speaking, it isn't worth that," with a crisp snap of his brown fingers.

"Is it kind or just to taunt me with his weakness?" she asked chokingly.. "Truth is sometimes discourteous and even cruel, but always just Is your love for Ned big enough to sacrifice your personal inclinations and instincts? Can you go home to-night and greet him as a comrade?as his best friend, and listen to his confession without one word or look of reproach? If so, give him back his frbedom. Send him away for a year, or two, or live, years, to win back his moral health and strength and power. He'll do it if you start him right Is he worth, say, five years of separation and waiting?" Mrs. Delmar's hand closed spasmodically over Billy's. "Don't uphold any falsa hopes," she said huskily. "It is too late-^the poison has gone too deep . to be remedied. While he loves that woman?" "Loves her!" Billy repeated in wholesome scorn. "Don't you see that she stands to him only for his one diversion from the deadly monotony with which society through you has cursed his existence? She interests and sways him by her amazing vitality. She is to him what a spar is to a drowning man. Give him a better craft and let him fight his way out of deep water. Will j. yon-take my advice?" "Billy, God is my witness that 1 | would do anything to save him from j rum. jtsiu i leci so neipiess, so uewn-1 | dered." "I know. Everything looks out of focus. Try my way. Make him tell you everything, and try' to listen as justly as if every word did not strike at your own heart. Then send liim away west, south, north, anywhere that he can work out his own salvation." >. "I will, Billy, God helping me." "You'll never regret it, never." "What if he shouldn't come home?" she asked, with a new terror in her voice. "He knows now that I saw him .TFiti her." ? "Then you must find him, wherever he is, and go to him. Remember, this day is the flood tide of events." Mrs. Delmar delayed dinner half an hour beyond the usual time, then she ordered her carriage and drove to the club where he sometimes put up during her absence. As the servant answered her ring she heard a voice say sharply, "Banks, I can see no one." She passed the nonplussed man and went directly to the room where Ned's voice came from. In the midst of a set of traveling paraphernalia stood yoting man with a pale, harassed faee< and weary, discontented-eyes, who started When lie* saw her and squared himself as if for battle. Laura Delmar closed the door and leaned back against it. "Where are you going, Ned?" she asked in a voice that struggled vainly to be calm. "I do/i't know," he answered, with r1<-iTcrcw1 nHctinn^v thnt irave his face a c sinister fiardness. "To some remote country where I- will never hear nor see anything that I have ever seen or heard here/' She w$nt over to him and put both hands on his,shoulder. "Tell me everything, Ned; please, just as you would to a comrade, a man whom you love and trust your best friend in the world, for i am that still with all my i heart I will listen understandingly i and without one thought of blame. Only let me help you." } Ned drew back instinctively, but her 1 hands tightened their hold. "You wouldn't understand," he muttered. I "I would! I want only your confii. donee. I know that things have gone i- terribly wrong between us, and that I li have been blind and unreasonable, but -4r-?to forgive that and rj -prove to you thaH can be a better friend than " I have been a wife/' "Tell you, Laura!" he echoed, In I awed amazement. "Do you mean that?

She made her way by climbing, in utter disregard of your little idols of traditions and public opinion. She is different from the vast horde of puppets one meets, and for that reason I allowed myself to be attracted by her. As for loving her?I would not care if I should never see her again!" "Poor Ned!" said the listener gently, with an uncontrollable catch in her voice. "If I had been wiser and we had understood each other, better so much of all .this suffering could have been averted. But it is not too Jate to make amends. You must not go off on an aimless quest. I have thought of another plan. Why can't you go down to the mines in Arizona and work there for a yqar or so, work as hard as you wish, with the day laborers, if you like?" , I Ned subsided suddenly into a near: by chair, A faint, incredulous smUe I / ighted his haggard face to a fleeting semblance of the old, care-free, buoymt youth that she had loved so dearly. "To think of leaving it all honortbly," he murmured, "and that you should be the one to suggest this thing! it doesn't seem quite true yet." "What shall you do?" he asked, after i sentient pause. "Probably go to Europe with mother and May," she answered with forced cheerfulness. "Would that please you best, Laura?" "Oh, I dare say I shall manage to get some pleasure of it. You will write me often, won't you, Ned?" "Very often." he answered heartily. "Don't think that I won't miss you, Laura?" "Will you, Ned? But not half as much as I shall miss you." For the space of ten long heartbeats they looked into each other's eyes silently. .Then Laura suddenly took a step toward him with outstretched hands.

Some of the Chinese artificial pearls used to be very deceiving. The French caught the idea from the Chinese, and nowadays they make % wonderfully fine imitation of the genu^ | iue-nrticle. Fearl making in Chinirim j confined to two villages in the northern part of the province of Cliih-Kian&. In the months of May and June large quantities of mussels are brought in baskets from a lake thirty miles distant* and the biggest of them are selected for the operation that is to be performed. Into the shell of each mollustfeare introduced jgmall objects, which it f intended the bivalve shall coat with'the pearly substance it secretes. Sometimes little balls of earth are used.- Sucil pollers are maue ui ujuu from the bottom of water courses,' dried and powdered with the juice or the seeds of the camphor tree. To place these nuclei inside of the mussels is a process of 110 little difficulty. The shell is opened with a small instrument of mother-of-pearl, the mantle of the anTiftariS"gr btiy hired and the Juliets are laid beneath tLw?. mantle. The shellis then periudtted tb close. Finally the moilnsks are deposited hi canal? or pools. They are placed fire or six inches apart, at depths of from two to five fee? iffldra of from 5000 to 50,000. t In November they are lifted and opened. The anhnals, are renipved. from the shells and the pellets ar? detached with a sharp knife.

Qneerly 'Named Slrecte. English towns are entering into a sort of newspaper competition for supremacy in curious names, having taken our Saturday's paragraph as a .direct challenge. Thus, one correspondent presses the claim of Leicester. ."One of the numerous ancient roads," he writes, "which radiate from the centre of the town is spert: 'Gallow Tree-gate,' which popular use has shortened in pronunciation to 'GaJ-treegate.' A series of streets round what was once, a fortified inclosure bears the name of 'The Newark.' The most curious of all is simply termed, 'The Holy Bones,' a title which bears an added strangeness when displayed on a very modern cast iron tablet." ; Hull, too, has a small but well-known thoKOughfare which bears the extraordinary name of "The Land of Green Ginger," for what reason we cannot tell. Yarmouth has a street which is curiously named "Conge." But here there is a suggested explanation. It is said that the name was originally "Conge," and that it commemorates the spot whence Nelson once left his native shores. But London must not be out of the contest.

Selium's Qualities. The discovery of a new metal called selium is attributed to M. Edward Mollard, a Frenchman. The discoverer asserts that sellum costs only onetwelfth as much as aluminum, and is lighter and stronger. It does not rust, and is, therefore, suitable for shipbuilding. for the manufacture of pipes, etc. It is asserted also that it is capable of taking a fine polish resembling nickel. Its hardness is not quite equal to that of iron, but is greater than that of lead or zinc. Its strength is said to be greater than that of iron, but less than that of steel.

A woman confined to the house for several years with a chronic female derangement* had finally given up hlTpe of being cured. She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy, without any permanent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man hundreds of dollars. They had been obliged to denv themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians. The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were growing up neglected and ragged, because of the want of a mother s care. Her husband wag becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she happened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symptoms. She soon received a lettlr telling her exactly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment (the principal remedy being Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may need the services of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave., New York: "Three months ago I was troubled with backache and a troublesome heaviness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest, for it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous system was out of order, but his prescriptions didn't seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was good for building up the nervous system. After using it for two months I know now that it is. I want to sav that it made a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have all disappeared and I leel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken." ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, writes: 1_. t _* il i Tl i sincereiy Deueve mac reruna is woman's best friend, for it has certainly been that to me. I had had headaches, backaches and other aches every month for a long time, but shortly after I b6gan taking Peruna this was a thing of tne past, and I have good reason to be grateful. I take a bottle every spring and fall now. and that keeps my health perfect, and I ; certainly am more robust now than I hgve j been before and am weighing ihbre. * I do } not think any one will be disappointed in j the results obtained from the use of Pe- ; runa." MISS MAMIE POWELL. If you do not derive prompt and satis- j factory results from the use "of Peruna, I write at once to Dr. Eartmim, giving' a full statement of your case, and he will I be pleased to give you his valuable advice ' gratis.
