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that could not be said of the superseded'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

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.

! "She is ill?"
j "Worse!" groaned the unhappy father.
"Ernest, boy, be brave! 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. He knew

genuine interest. 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."
