ELECTRIC POWER A BENEFIT For One Thing, It Does Away With Smoke, Improving the Health of the Community. Substituting electric power for steam in factories directly atrects ihe health of the community, for it does away with smoke. For example, since electric motors began to be used in j the industries of the borough of ! Bury, in England,' not only have the 1 24 chimneys formerly needed for steam power gone out of use, but, UW1U" IL> IUC WLHCU1CUI/ DUJ'piJ Vi electric potver, 27 other chimneys that otherwise would have been erected have not been put up. The large chimney at the power station replaces altogether 51 smaller chimneys in other parts of the town. Furthermore, the fuel for the power station goes directly from the freight cars into the coal'bunkers. Were the 51 chimneys still in use, more than two hundred tons of fuel would have to be carted each week for considerable distances through the public streets; the electric power supply, that is, frees the roads of much heavy tratlic. Finally, the fuel consumed at the power station is burned in a scientific way, so as to produce the mini;mum amount of smoke. Probably that could not be said of the superseded' furnaces.?Youth's Conipan 'XUU? MUSIC LOST TO THE WORLD I Rubinstein's Compositions Scattered Through Imbecility of Russian Government. ' Rubinstein, the famous composer, at one time visited Russia. He had with, him a trunk which was full of musical compositions, the result of three years' labor in Berlin and Vienna. To his dismay the officer at .the customs house seized his precious ;manuscript8. "You see," he said, "all this manu- ; script is apparently music, but the government is aware that Anarchists and Nihilists use a code of signals 'resembling musical notes for their communications, so this may be some , .political cipher. You must wait five jor six months and then we may be 1 i i n able to give you tne box. In vain the musician pleaded and threatened; the Russian government was inflexible. He tried to rewrite ; the compositions from memory, but did not succeed very well. To add to his wrath he discovered some years 'later that his trunk was advertised (in the Russian Police Gazette, but ,as he did not see it the manuscripts [were sold at auction and scattered jbeyond all power of recovery.

We deplore j it all, and you have been the man all j through, but drive her from your , thoughts. She is unworthy of you." "You mean??" "She eloped last night with Lieuteni ant Trescomte." It was a severe shock to the astound ed fiance, but less from personal grief than pity for the chum and his family, upon whom this hard blow had been brought. In a measure he was relieved. "If Lora loved him," he said, quietly, "she will be happy with him." "But you?you? We feel so for you!" "Don't think of me, Mr. Moody,'" returned Ernest. "I only wish them joy and contentment." "You are a noble fellow!" declared Mr. Moody. t Rose suddenly recovered her composure. "Shall I tell you the truth?" she jasked frankly. "Well, then, I felt very sorry for your sake." "And sister has worn it ever since till she lost it," broke In the little brother, "and she cried when she did?" "S-sh!" faltered Rose, but the truth was out, and Ernest Harper read her tell-tale face aright Ernest covered the trembling hand of the young girl at bis side with his own. He gazed earnestly into her eyes. : "Rose," he said, "could it be possible ' that you also kept that rejected mej mento for my sake?" I Her dear, sweet face bent lower out , of sight She could not reply. But her ' hand di* not leave the gentle caress of i his own and Ernest Harper knew that | he had found perfect bliss at last "Free!" Ernest Harper whispered to himself as later that morning he once again strolled in the little park, thinking over the acute change in affairs that had come about. Was he thinking, too, of Rose? If so, that accounted for a new brightness in his face as he made her out at a little distance. She greeted him with a warm handclasp, her face showing deep womanly sympathy. "I am so sorry," she said in a subdued tone. He sat down beside her with a deep sigh. It seemed as though a strange restfulness came over him.

She was rather surprised at the calm, grave manner in which he took his trouble. Rose drifted the conversation into general channels. She manifested an interest in his work. She spoke of a book he had written and he was gratified to discern that she was familiar with all its details and especially appreciated the parts of it which he himself prized. At the end of a week the Moody family heard from the truant daughter. She was married aqd was visiting with the family of her husband. He was an empty-headed fellow, but had wealth and lively social connections, and, while glad of his escape from marrying, a woman he did not loy$, Ernest really believed that Lora tfould be happy in her new environment. Ernest decided to leave the village. He went to bid farewell to the girl he cherished as a true friend. They were seated in the garden when a little brother of Rose came running up to her. "I found the locket, sister!" he cried, excitedly. "On the croquet lawn," and he handed to Rose an article at which Ernest stared strangely. "Why!" he could not help exclaiming, "where did that come from?" Rose turned' scarlet, she evaded his glance. She was terribly flustered. "I?that is. Lora?" THE ONE HE LOVEOj By MARY H. WITHERELL. (Copyright 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) "Poor fellow!'* murmured Rose Darren, and her gentle face softened as a tall, handsome young man came down the pretty park path and sat down on the rustic bench beside her, engaging in casual, friendly conversation. The poor fellow" was Ernest Harper. He looked grave and troubled, but It seemed as though the presence of the cheery little woman beside him made him momentarily forget his anxieties. "How sorry 1 feel for him!" breathed Hose as they parted "How unworthy is she of the love of a man like him!" "If Rose only knew!" soliloquized Ernest as he went on his .way. "Ah, ' me! life is a sad enigma." Here were the facts in the case: Ernest Harper was engaged to the sis! ter of his dearest friend, Lora Moody i And Rose Darrell knew that Lora did i not love him, was a flippant flirt and i would bring him pain and disappointment in the years to come, i How she had found this out was her own treasured secret Ernest was surprised to be aroused from'his morning slumber by the announcement of a servant that Mr. Moody, Lora's father, was in the parlor below and "would he please dress and j come down at once?" i When Ernest joined his early visitor i he found Mr. Moody pacing the room up and dowii in a .state of great agitation. "Ernest," he spoke in an unsteady ( tone, "I've got some bad news for you." "Ned?" began Ernest. ! "No, Lora." jusi I CONSIDER what business would bi should think of starting an enter] AN ACCOUNT.
