Three-year-old Arthur Smith. Jr.. is
dead nt his home, 4629 Oakland street,
nnd Alfred Gllfry, S years old, of 4638
Oakland street, will be nrrnlgned for a

According to the police Arthur wns In
stantly killed when he was struck In the
temple with a Jagged stone while playing
In the backyard of his home jesterday.
He wns a victim of n badly-aimed stone,
the police say, which was thrown by tho
Gllfry boy while enguged In a fight while
on his way home from Sunday school
with three brothers, Lawrence, Urban
and Bruce Woodhouse who live nt 4G3D

other lads ran home. An ambulance was
called and the injured boy wns taken to

DREAMS FIRE; RINGS ALARM
Seven Companies Answer Signal of

photographic studio, where she wns sleep
inif. and to pull nn alarm box which
brought seven lire companies to Mh nnd
Arcn sirens mis morning, ine alarm,
signaled at S o'clock, threw the vicinity
Into confusion.
Miss Hluirkey was In a highly nervous
condition as the result of n fire that had
threatened her place Satuiday night,
when It was raging In Allen's restau
rant. 48 North Sth street. She was In
constant fear that the fire would break
out again, nnd the climax came when,
after a night of bad dreams, she Jumped
out of bed this morning, and, before her
mother could stop her. rushed to a fire
alarm box op the corper of Stli and Arch

SPOTS ON THE SUN
Phenomenon Again Appears After
Absence of 11 Years.
Spots on the sun have again made their
appearance after a lapse of 11 years and
37 days, and can now be seen with binoc
ulars, or even a pair of smoked glasses,
on any clear Aty. Previous observations
show that lower temperature, rain and
cyclonic disturbances follow the appear
ance of these spots at regular Intervals.
From photographs taken II .years ago
and on May 2 of this year, it is seen
that the spots have increased in area
since their last appearance, and that the
larger areas have become split into a
number of smaller sections, with one
large Bpot leading the way across the face
of the sun as a mother hen marshals her
chicks.
Science has not yet succeeded lit ac
counting for the phenomenon.

CHAPTER XIV.
MAGIC.
For several seconds after Savage bnd
made off Sally delayed there, alone on
tho emptv lawn in the westerly shadow
of Oosnold House, doubting whnt next to
do, wnere next to turn In quest of Mrs.
Oosnold: questioning the motive for that
furtive meeting which she had surprised,
wondering nt Savnce's Insistence on a
spot so remote nnd inconvenient for their
appointment, nnd why It must needs be
kopt In so underhand a fashion, nnd
whether she had been wise to consent to
U nnd would be wise to keep It. She wns
at a loss how to fill In the time until the
hour nominated, shrinking alike from the
lights nnd gaiety of the hnll. the supper
room nnd the veranda, nnd the romantic,
love-sick pence of tho moonlit lawns and
gardens. Altogether sho wns In n most
complicated, distracted nnd unhappy
frame of mind. . , ,
Then a latch clicked softly, tbe hinges
of a shutter whined, nnd the stnrtled
young woman found herself staring up
Into the face of Mrs. Oosnold a pallid
oval against the dark background of nn
unllRhted window not two feet nbovc
Sully's head.
She gasped, but respected the admoni

Mrs. Gosnold nodded with a mlschlevoub
twinkle. "I have that!"
"You heard "
"Something not much not enough. If
you had only been a few minutes later"
I'm sorry, but I've been looking for
you everywhere. Please, may I come in
and tell you something?"

"At half-past 12?"
"Yen, nnd don't lie late. Now do run
along and have a good time."
The slvttter wns drawn gently to, nnd
frnliy, with nn embittered smite for tho
unconscious Irony of Hint parting Injunc
tion, moved slowly on toward tho front
of the house.
Hut It was tnie that she felt a little less
disconsolate now than she had two min
utes ago; nfter nil, It seemed, she wasn't
altogether friendless nnd forsaken, nnd ss
for those dnubln and questions which so
perplexed her, they would nit be icsolved
and nnsweied once she had opportunity
tn lay them, together with the story of
last night, before the Judgment of her
benefactress.
Still, If she reckoned confidently upon
her hostess, she reckoned not wisely
without her host, whose mask tonight wns
that of a sardonic destlnj, And .when n
tentative venture Into the throngs on tho
veranda had been discouraged by the
spirited advances of n forward young
rnvnllcr who ehose to consider his honor
Piqued, first by her demure Qunker garn,
i then bv her unresponsiveness. Sally wa
glad enough to fall back Upon the com-
pnrntlve quiet nnd solitude of the moon
l drenched gardens. Whereupon her des-
tlnv grinned a heartless grin nnd ar
ranged lo throw her to the lions that, nil
unsuspected, ratted In the maiden bosom
of Mercedes Pride.
The tireless Ingenuity with which Hint
' rnmpanj,splnster devised wn.vs and means
nf rendering herself n peripatetic" pest had
long since won the ungrudged nflmlratton
nf Sallv. who elected to be amused more

I nnd the corrosive Jealousy of Mrs. Gos

what new method of making a sprightly
nuisance nf berself Miss Pride had In

It proved, nnturnlly enough, remember

folding table, n pnpler mnche skull, n
Jointed wooden snake, nn nrtlllclal pump
kin bend with a candle In It, nnd a black
cat tethered by a string to a stake In the
Kiound nnd wishing he had never been

Within thli noisome lair the soiceress
squatted and pi noticed her unholy arts
upon nil comers without mercy or dis
tinction ns to rare, caste, sex. age. color,
or previous condition of servitude. And
when trade slackened (ns Inevitably It

dragging them oft forcibly by the hand,
when needs must, to sit nt her table nnd

humor her nonsense
Thus she Inveigled Sallv when the lat
ter unwarily wandered her way.
Miss Pride knew her victim perfectly,
hut for the sake of appearances kept up
the semblance of mystlflcntlon.
"Sit you there, my pretty." she gabbled
vlvnclouelv, two hands on Sally's shoul
ders, urging her to rest on one of the
stools "Don't be afraid nf my simple
magic: the black nit has nothing to do
with the lore of the wise old woman.
Just show mc vour rosv palm, and T

needn't cross my palm with silver; I
will plv my mystic trade and tell your
future nil for the sake of your pretty
eyes, "
She peered, blinking, with make-believe
mvopla. Into the hollow of Sally's band.
"Ah. yes. yes!" she grunted, "you have
nn nmlnblo and affectionate disposition:
.ion love pretty things to wear and every
sort of pleasure. There is your gravest
lault nntl grentest dnnger, pretty: love of

that you should know nnd none but my

Effrontery battened on Indulgence.
"The past has been unfortunntc. The

The futur I see a shadow. It Is dark.
It Is difficult to read. I see a Journey be

THE most notable Exhibition in America of Marble Garden
Decorations, consisting of Fountains, Urns, Benches, Seats,
Figures, Jardinieres, Sun-dials, Aquariums, Ferneries, Pedestals
and Tables.
Every piece has been personally selected in Italy last August
and September by a member of the firm who was the 'O.N L Y
BUYER in the Pietrasanta District, and he was enabled to pur
chase at most advantageous prices on account of the depression
caused by the war. EVERY PIECE HAS BEEN THERE
FORE MARKED AT AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE. As this
is a most exceptional opportunity, we invite every one interested
in garden decorations to visit the exhibition.
