CHLOE and the STILE A 3 we came down tho field ! of waring corn on Laven i tier Hill Chloe was talking quite heroically of life. Iler lialr had been blown a * lit tie into admired disorder by the Muff wind ou the heath. lier cheeks were Hushed with health and beauty, and she was mistress and queen of herself and her domain. For me, my eyes went from her bright and signifk-u'nt f:?ee across the gray green oats in which we walked breast high, and back again in serene contentment. What did it matter that she was pre* pared to give battle to the monster? Man? Let him perish. Tbe hills were abiaxe with light, the fields with charllck; we moved in the mitt'it eye, but Chtoe looked as cool as .? prinumse in her muslin,* despite t lir? licat of her opinions. "I can't really understand a sensible inau like you taking up a position like that," said she. I had taken no position, except the one by her side, but I defended myself .weakly. "Well, you see. we inherit these pre possessions and prejudices from our savage ancestors, 1 suppose." "That's Just If," said Chloe eagerly. ??You admit It, then? Savage! Of course, they were savages. You've given away your case/' I never really had any case, but I didn't say so. "I suppose I have/* I said, ruefully.* "You know It," said Miss Bohun firmly. "It is quite absurd to pretend that women are one whit Inferior to niau, except, of course." she added, quickly, "In .regard to physical strength." "And even then there were A ma Eons," I suggested. She cast a glance at me. "Yes. there were the Aipasons." she said, "which shows *?' H ' Aud the women do all the hard work Ntu'<ong the aboriginals," I went on. She gave me another glance. "And 1hat again shows " she begun, with less confidence. ?' "Do you know," I said, stopping in midtleld to observe her critically, "I believe that If you only practiced :i lit tle you would be more than a match for a man." She looked away across the corn. "Do? do you think so?" she said, hesi tatingly; and added, after a pause: "I ? I don't think I am so? I'm not what you'd call muscular." "Well, perhaps not," I assented, ex amining her apprnlslngly; "but sinewy, say." ' : "How absurd!" said Cli!oe, finite snappishly, as she walked on. I fol lowed. The deep, spreading shadows of the bushes at the end of the Held eh y eloped us. "Another stile," said I, cheerfully. "Dear me, that's^ the fourth!" said C'hloe, resignedly. "I do wish they'd make gates between the fields. "A stile's more picturesque," said I. "Very possibly." said Miss Bohun. in differently. "It's certainly not as con venient." ' "Ab," said I, smiling, "there's one thing, at any rate, in which men are superior. They can negotiate a stile." "Indeed!" said Chloe, loftily. "I should have thought tbe feat was not impossible for a woman." I pursed up my lips. "Any woman can gel over stiles." she said, warmly, seeing my skepticism. "Oh, I've no doubt." I said, politely. "It's nonsense your saying that when f can see you don't believe it." sr. Id Miss Hohua. "You're simply p!o;:sed to be sarcastic all along." I shrugged my shoulders. She marched coldly and confidentially to ward the stile. It took off a high ground which. I suppose, accounted .for the absence of a stain But there were two eros?? bars to assist the climber, f thought Chloe's face fell as she noted It. "Let ine give you a hand," I said. "Nonsense!" she replied. "I don't want any assistance. It's quite easy." She put Iho hand which was not en cumbered by the sunshade on the top bar and placed one neat foot on the lowest. Then she hesitated. "Perhaps I'd better take the sun shade," I suggested. Sh??' did not answer at onoa: then,] *'If ydu wish it," she replied nom-hal en My. "though It's of no consequen< e."

"Please," I called, "won't you help me up?" Miss Bohun turned back reluctant ly. I made a face of pain. "It's your ankle?" sbe said, with sud den anxiety. I winced and took her hand, and then I was ou my feet, with that band In mine. * "No, It's here." I said in a lower voice, laying my band on my heart. "It was here long ago." I drew her lo me.

"The manufacture of perfume by natural processes, or from the uaturiil flower," said Mr. .1 nines II. Calislier, or New York, at the Rennerl, "is an tiquated and practically out of com mission. How wonderful is nature is indicated when I tell you that all our perfumes are made from the synthetic odors of coal tar, and that the retain ing body is ambergris or civet? the first a foul, waxy concretion cast off from the stomach of the sperm whale, the second an equally offensive matter from the civet cat. These retaining bodies, by the way, have a high value, especially the ambergris, a piece of which, worth 920,000, was found a few days ago by a fisherman off Cape Cod. Toilet waters, formerly secured by dis tillation, are now secured by percola tion, and. In fact, the whole business of perfume making has been revolu tionized. The genuine oil of roses from Bulgaria is about the only article now distilled from the fresh flowers. The artificial oils are the lonlne. for violet; heliotrope, for heliotrope; lllac Ine, for lilac, and so on, In every case being a perfect substitute for the nat urnl odor. "But what Is the need of the substi tute? Is It a question of economy?" "Not at all. The artificial perfumes nre no cheaper, but tlie cheinlcnl pro cesses saves time. When the pomades were used it wns necssary to freeze and wash them enrly In the winter for the entire year's supply. Now we liavo our oils ready to band and In forty* ei*!it hours we enn turn them ort in the finished perfumes. It Is purely a question of time and convenience." The fancy basket Is going out of style, according to Mr. Calisher. "Instead," lie said, "the square, round, octagonfll and vnrl-formcd l?ox, in Oriental colors and designs, Is the popular thing for your perfume bot tles. Here Is one. for Instance, a fa mous Byzantine plaque; here Is a lot of boxes decorated In Japan and im ported direct; here are some Oreciau and Egyptian models.

Will Sterling. The paaaengera were ahaken up, but none waa Injured. Mr. Home was the oldeat engineer In the employ of the Atlantic Coaat Line, and the father of Engineer W. H. Home, of Rocky Mount. Father and son met each other on the road on their trains In the morning. The wreck occurred at a siding about one mile this side of Warahaw. The siding had formerly been used for load ing cars w|th wood, but had not been used for several months past. The switch was open, but how It came to be open at this time Is not known. Mr. Guilford Horne, the engineer, and Will Sterling, his fireman, were in stantly killed. It was some time be fore they could be extricated, as they wero wedged between the engine and Its tender. The mail car was plied upon the tender, and all the cars-were more or less damaged. Postal Cleric Holllngsworth was badly Injured, and Clerk Powell had to continue his run. All of the passengers were more or lens shaken up, but none of them were seriously hurt. Mr. Horne has been employed by the Coast Line for the last thirty-five years. He was one of the most trust ed of all the men in the service of the road. He lived in Magnolia many years ago, where he was favorably known. His death has cast a gloom over the community. especially noticeable among railroad people. The trains were delayed fOr several hours, the 12 o'clock train not reach ing here until 4:30 p. m.

Lieutenant Cola Injured tn Oaliant !y Rescuing ihe Endangered Men Boiler Said to Have Seen Thorough iy Teeted. Philadelphia. Special. ? Caught tn a trap and helpless to save themselves, three men lost their lives and four others, including Lieutenant Win. C. C. Cole, were terribly scalded Thurs day by a rush of steam and boiling water In the fire-room of the battle ship Massachusetts, lying at the League Island navy yard. The dead are: Edward Bub. boiler maker aud civilian; Andrew Hamilton, married, boiler-maker; Charles Ritzel, boiler maker. Injured: Lieutenant William Cole. U. S. N.. assistant chief engineer of the Massachusetts, scalded about the head and body, taken to the Na val Hospital; William Anderson, ship's boiler maker, badly acalded. taken to the naval hospital; James. Wilson, boiler maker's helper and ci vilian employe, scalded, taken to the Methodist. Hospital; Joseph K. Dur nnd. boiler maker's helper and civil Ian. scalded, taken to St. Agnes Hos pital. With the exception of Lieut enant Cole, all tho killed and injured icslded it* Philadelphia. Lieutenant Cole recclvcd his In juries in a heroic effort to rescue tho others. The aecldcnt was caused by tho Riv ing way of a gasket, or rubber wash er. on a boiler on the starboard ?id*? of the ship. The Massachusetts has been at the navy yard for some timo. undergoing extensive repairs, particular lo the boilers and machinery. Although Captain Edward D. Taussig and his complement of officers and men are aboard the ship, the Massachusetts is arlgln doing business in the state and wrt.ually in charge of the authorities of the navy yard. The boiler on which the aecldcnt occurred had recently been cleaned and thoroughly tested, and the boiler makers were today at work on another boiler. Without warning, the gasket between the boil er plate between the boiler gave way and a terrific rush of steam and hot water occurred. The doors of the firo room w-.rr closed at the time of the accident, and ihe only avenuo of es cape was a safety ladder. Only one man. Bramlett. m ship's fireman, thought of the ladder, and he escaped without a scar. Few on the upper decks knew what had happened until the steam came rushing up from the aeetblng pit below. The work of res cue was prompt, and to this prompt ness those who escaped death owe their thanks. The first to enter the fire hole was Lieutenant Cole. Without hesitating, and being scalded by the water and steam. be entered quickly and quick ly dragged the men to a place where they were taken in charge by others Bub and Hamilton were dead when found, and Ritzel (lied a few minutes after being taken on deck. Whether the gasket was defective or was carclcssly put in place, re mains for an official court of inquiry to determine. It is said the boiler had been thoroughly overhauled and tested under a tremendous pressure of steam. At the time of the acci dent the steam pressure was only sufficient to run the snip's heating plant. The neeident will cause little or no delay In preparing the battleship for sea.
