Twas a sad, sad story, but I can't say
twas told as tho twilight failed, nor did
It happen at twilight. Oh, no! But what
think you of an ardent young lover who
traveled miles and miles, over mountings,
hills and valleys, to see his lady love, and
having spent a few hours In her dear so
ciety rtnally tore himself away from his
heart's desire to return homo, for you see
he works for Dad, and ho's got to bo on
time; and, too, one cannot obtain one's
heart's desire unless one has tho spon
dullx, bo to spoak. Well, to continue
my sad llttlo tale, our young Lothario
' started home in his motorcar down the
valley and over the hills and up" t6 the
top of the almost mountain, when lo! his
transmitter refused to transmit, and for
three hours our hero reposed himself on
the summit of said mount, and It having
been a darkly black night, you know, ie
did not havo any 'too pleasant a time
But ho Buffered nobly and patiently, and
his forbearance was rewarded by tho
appearance of another car on that lonely
mounting top after three hours, and the
kind-hearted chauffour consented to take
him to tho nearest garage, from whence
men were dispatched In the early morn
lng to tow tho lonely llttlo car into town.
Our, hero was taken by tho kindly chauf
, feur to the nearest station, where he
" caught a train and reached town In time
' to irflt breakfast and reach tho office In
i good time. I wonder when he will again
) travel over the "mounting" to see the lady
I of his choice? Soon, I should advise, for
she jnust surely 'sympathize with his sorry
1 plight of that night, and sympathy and
I pity, you know, are akin to love. So who
can tell, perhaps I may havo some more
, to tell you soon.
What amusing little Incidents one
comes on in tho coming and going in the
dolly walks and In this case rides in
life. I was Just about to alight from the
car when, I heard Mary, who was stand
ing in front of me waiting (for tho door
to open, say to Aunt Edith, "Father said
' I could get Jack a dressing gown for T
or S. bo I am going to see." Whereupon
Aunty exclaimed nervously: "Now,
Mary, don't go get him one like that
Jack don't want to be dressed up like a
Woman 1" Thinking of Jack, I should
ay, "You bet he would not," and yet ana
. did want to get him a nice birthday gift
for his first birthday aftor tbelr wedding,
and she liked Jt so, why wouldn't he!
And I left them standing on tho corner
arguing, Aunty valiantly trying to save
Jack from a pearl gray and pink crea
tion ot toweling and Mary ey
At would blend so beautifully with tt
furniture, and I smiled as I thought of
all that one must suffer (be it he or
for tha pewon one love. I hope jjacx
gets oyer It, but I'm euro hell never feel

NEW LIGHTING ERA
Panama-Pacific Exposition Ushered in
Novel Epoch, Speaker Says
Illumination of the Panama-Paclno In
ternational Exposition marked a new epoch
In the sctenco of lighting, according to W.
D. A. Ryan, of the General Electric Com
pany, In a lecture last night at the Uni
versity Museum.
He eatd. In part: "The lighting scheme
and scope of the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition called for a radical de
parture from previous practices. Incan
descent lamp outlining on tho main group
of the palaces was avoided and screened
or masked flood and relief lighting to pro
duce the third dimension or depth substituted."
A practical course for housekeepers Is a
new feature In the household science de
partment at Temple University. It has been
planned to moet a soilotoflcal condition
which Is constantly growing more and more
acuta with each succeeding year.
The demand for trained housekeepers
has now reached proportions which the
supply Is quite Inadequate to meot. The
Bureau of Occupation for Trained Women,
conducted In connection with tho College
Club by MIbscb Theodora S. Butcher and
Anna M. Scott, Is being flooded dally with
applications from those whose time Is too
taxed socially for them to bo ftblo to order
their own establishments and who need and
must havo competent and trained assistants
for that purpose.
It Is to cope with this demand that tho
housekeepers' course is being offored; for
it will tako up In detail the various kinds
of practical knowledge required in tho
ordering of the average house cooking,
sorvlng. marketing, etc. It will be given
by Miss Katharine Lawrence director of
the Department of Housohold Science.
Afternoon classes will be added to thoso
of tha morning at tho Main Line Branch
of Miss Hill's School, Coulter and Thomp
son nvonues, Ardmore, this year. To make
this feasible the faculty has been Increased
by tho addition of four new members. These
aro Miss Ethel P. Tiemann, teacher in
the New York Kindergarten Association
from 190S to 1912, In charge of the Mon
tcssorlftClass, Sewlckiey, Pa., from 1913 to
1915, and student In methods of primary
teaching In tho Teachers' College, Columbia,
last year. Mlss Marguerite Kuehner, of
tho Cours Sevlgne, Paris; Miss Ollvo Denl
son Jones, teacher In Salt Lako City
Kindergarten Association In 1914-1915,
and student In the Teachers' College,. Co
lumbia, and assistant In tho Montossorl
close. New York, last year, and Miss Mar
garet SeaKer Uradway, A. B. (Uryn Mawr),
nnd a graduate student at Bryn Mawr
last year.
At tho Philadelphia School of Design for
Women Miss Frances Krats has been added
to tho faculty as assistant, in place of Miss
Dorothy Shell, who resigned from that po
sition to become superintendent of drawing
la tho publlo school at Swedeeboro, N. J.
To compensate for the late opening of
school, owing to the infantile paralysis ban
Imposed by the Board of Health, the hours
of instruction at the Episcopal Academy
havo been divided Into six periods of forty
minutes each, Instead of Ave periods rang
ing from forty minutes to an hour. Tho
Rev. Philip J. Stelnmetz, Jr., head master
at Episcopal, believes that by thfj more
oven distribution of time a greater acade
mlo result can be obtained without In
crease In the number of hours of instruc
tion. Last year 1525 students enrolled in tho
evening courses at Droxel Institute during
tho year. This year Drexhl Is starting the
first week of its term with an enrollment
of nearly 1800.

HOW TO BE A WRITER
Dear Children Ono of our boys has asked how to bo a writer, I suppose
he means a great writer.
When I was a boy attending school a friend of mine introduced mo to a
reporter. Being of an inquisitive mind (all writers are) I began to take an
interest in the newspaper business,'
Some of the boys In school formed themselves into a band of etectives
and used to prowl around at night
I wrote thia fact out very carefully and handed it to my newspaper friend.
Great was my surprise to see the "story" printed in a real newspaper. '
The only way to write Is to WRITE.
Take what you have written to the nearest newspaper. The editor will
cither be polite and listen, to your story, in which case you are lucky, or ho
will eseort you to the door and hasten your departure.
Should you care to, mail what you have written to an editor and KEEP ON
MAILING "what you have written." Next, get a position on a newspaper, next
get a special line of writing, such as poultry, lovo stories, mechanics, health,
cooking, etc.
Above all, NEVER BE DISCOURAGED,
FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor.

CIIAPTEB XIV Contlnned
T)UT hero ho was close to her, unhurt and
AJ calmly jubilant, as was his way when
a stiff fight went well. He was by her olde
now, firing and aiming, too, for the Dyaks
broke cover recklessly In running for shel
ter, and one may do fair work by moon
light, ns many a hunter of wild duck can
testify by the rheumatism In his bones.
She had strength enough left to place
the rifle out of harm's way before she broke
down and sobbed, not tearfully, but In a
paroxysm of reaction. Boon all was quiet
beneath, savo for the labored efforts of
some wounded men to get away from that
accursed rock. Jenks was able to turn to
Iris. He endeavored to allay her agitation,
and succeeded somewhat, for tears came,
and she clung to him. It was useless to re
proach him. The whole Incident wns un
forseen ; she was herself a party to It. Rut
what an escape I
Ho lifted her In his arms and carried her
to a seat whero the tarpaulin rested on a
broken water cask.
"You haVe been a very good little girl
and have earned your supper," he said.
"Oh, how can you talk so callously after
such an awful experience" she expostulated
brokenly.
The Jesuits, say their opponents, teach
that at times a "white He" is permissible.
Surely this was an Instanoa. "It is a small
thing to troublo about, sweetheart," he
explained. "You spotted the enemy so
promptly and blazed away with such fero
city that they never got within yards of
me."
"Are you sure 7"
"I vow and declare that after wo havo
eaten something and sampled our remain
ing bottlo of wlno I will tell you exactly
what happened."
"Why not now?"
"Bocause I must first sco to Mir Jan.
I bundled him neck and crop Into tho cave.
I hope I did not hurt him."
"You are not going down there again?"
"No need, I trust."
He went to tho side of tho ledge, recovered
tho ladder which ha had hastily hauled out
of the Dyaks' reach after his climb, and
cried
"Mir Jan."
"Ah, sahib I Praised be the name of
the Most High, you are alive. 1 was
searching among tho slain with a sorrow
ful heart."
The Mobsmmedan's voice came from sorao
little distance on tho left.
"The slain, you say. How many7"
"Five, sahib."
"Impossible! I fired blindly with the
revolver, and only hit one man hard 'with
tho Iron bar. One other dropped near the
wood after I obtained a ride."
'Then there be six, sahib, not reckoning
the wounded. I have accounted for one,
so the mlss-sahlb must have "
"What is he saying about me?" Inquired
Iris, who had risen and joined her lover.
"He says you absolutely staggered the
Dyaks by opening fire the moment they ap
peared." "How did you come to slay one, Mir
Jan?" ho continued.
"A son of a black pig followed me Into
the cave. I waited for him in the darkness.
I have just thrown his body outside."
"Shabashl Is Taung S'AU dead, by any
lucky chance?"
"No. sahib, If he be not the sixth. I will
go and see."
"You may be attacked?"
"I have found a sword, sahib. Tou left
me no cartridges."
Jenks told him that the clip and the
twelve packets were lying at the foot of the
rock, whero Mir Jan speedily discovered
them. The Mahommedan gave satisfactory
assurance that he understood the mechanism
of the rifle by filling and adjusting the
magazine. Then he went to examine the
corpse of the man who lay In the open near
the quarry path.
Tho sailor stood in Instant readiness to
make a counter-demonstration were the
native assailed. But there was no sign of
the Dyaks. Mir Jan returned with the news
that the sixth victim of tho brief yet tierce
encounter was a renegade Malay. He was
so confident that the enemy had had enough
of it for the night that, after recovering
Jenks's rovolver, he boldly went to the
well and drew himself a supply of water.
During supper, a feast graced by a quart
of champagne worthy of the Carlton, Jenks
told Iris so much of the story as was good
for her: that is to say, he cut down the
casualty list.
It was easy to see what had happened.
The Dyaks, having missed the Mahom
medan and their water bag, searched for
him and heard the conversation at the foot
of the rock. Knowing that their presence
was suspected, they went back for rein
forcements, and returned by the ehorter
and more advantageous route along Turtle
Beach.
Iris would have talked all night, but
Jenks made her go to jleep by pillowing
her head against his shoulder and smooth
ing her tangled tresses with his hand. The
wine, too, was helpful. In a few minutes
her voice became dreamy, soon she was
sleeping like a tired child.
He managed to lay her on a comfortable
pile of ragged, clothing and then resumed
Ills vlglL Mir Jan offered to mount guard
beneath, but Jenks bade him go within the
cave and remain there, for the dawn would
soon be upon them.
Lett alone with his thoughts, he wondered
what the rising sun would bring In Its train.
He reviewed the events of tho last twenty
four hours. Iris and he Miss Deane, Mr.
Jenks, to each other were then undiscov
ered In their refuge, the Dyaks were gath
ered around a roaring Are In the valley,
and Mir Jan was keen in the bunt as the
keenest among them. Now Iris was his
affianced 'bride, over twenty of tho enemy
were killed and many wounded, and Mtr
Jan, a devoted adherent, was seated beside,
the skeleton In the gloom of the cavern.
What a topsy-turvy world it was, to bo
suret What alternations between despair
and hopel What rebound from the gates of
Death to the threshold of Kden How un
true, after all, was the nebulous philosophy
of Omar, the Tentmaker. Surely In the

Ho had, Indeed, cause to bo humbly
thankful. Was there not One who marked
the fall of a sparrow, who clothed the lilies,
who knew the needs of His creatures?
There, In the solemn temple of the night, he
gave thanks for the protection vouchsafed
to Iris and himself, and prayed that It
might be continued. He deplored the use
less bloodshed, the horror of mangled limbs
and festering bodies that converted this
fair Island Into a reeking slaughter bouse.
Were it possible, by any personal sacrifice,
to divert the untutored savages from their
deadly quest, he would gladly eondone their
misdeeds and endeavor to assuage the tor
ments of the wounded.
But he was utterly helpless, a pawn on
that tiny chessboard where the game was
being played between Civilisation and Bar
barism. The fight must go on to the bitter
end) he must either vanquish or be van
quished. There were other threads being
woven Into the garment of Ms life at that
moment, but he knew not of thew. ,

the good thereof. Of both he had reeelved

"a disgraced man." Tea, that wns it. Could
that stain be removed? Mir Jun was do
ing It Why not he? by other means,
for his good name rested on the word of a
perjured woman. Wealth was potent, but
not all-powerful. He would ask Iris to wait
until he came to her unsolled by slander,
purged of this odium cast upon him un
merited. And all this goes to show that ho, a man
wise beyond his fellows, had not yet learned
tho unwisdom of striving to lift the veil of
tomorrow, behind whose mystlo curtain what
Is to be ever Jostles out of place what Is
hoped for.
Iris, smiling In her dreams, was assailed
by no torturing doubts. Robert loved her
that was enough. Love sufllccs for a wom
an; a man asks for honor, reputation, an
unblemished record.
To awaken her he kiesod her ; he knew not,
perchanco It might be their last kiss on
earth. Not yet dawn, there was morning In
the air, for the first faint shafts of light
wore not visible from their aerie owing to
Its position. But there was much to bo
done. If the Dyaks carried out the plan
described by Mir Jan, he had a good mnny
preparations to make.
The canvas awning was rolled back and
the stores built Into a barricade Intended to
shelter Iris.
"What Is that for?" she asked, when she
discovered Its nature. He told her. She
definitely refused to avail herself of any
such protection.
"Robert, dear," she said, "If the attack
comes to our very door, so to speak, surely
I must help you. Even my Blight aid may
Btcm a rush in one place while you are busy
lrl nnother."
He explained to hor that If hand-to-hand
fighting were necessary he would depend
more upon a crowbar than a rlflo to sweep
tha ledge clear. She might be in the way.
"Very well. The moment you tell me to
get behind that fence I will do so. Even
there I can use a revolver."
That reminded him. His own pistol was
unloaded. Ho possessed only five more
cartridges of small caliber. He placed them
in tho weapon and gave It to her.
"Now you have eleven men's lives In your
hands," he said. "Try not to miss If you
must Bhoot."
In the dim light he could not see tha
spasm of pain that clouded her face. No
Dyak would reach her while he lived. If
he fell, there was another uso for ono of
those cartridges.
Tho sailor had cleared tho main floor of
the rock and was placing his four rifles nnd
other implements within easy reach when
a hiss came from beneath.
"Mir Jan 1" exclaimed Iris.
"What now?" demanded Jenks over the
Bide.
"Sahib, they come"
"I am prepared. Let that snake get back
to his holo in the rock, lest a mongoose
seize him by the head."
Mir Jan, engaged in a scouting expedition
pn his own account, understood that the
offlcer-sahlb's orders must be obeyed. He
vanished. Soon they heard a great crack
ling among the bushes on the right, but
Jenks knew even before he looked that the
Dyaks had correctly estimated the extent
of his Arc zone and would keep out of It.
Tho first physical intimation of the
enemy's design they received was a pun
gent but pleasant smell of burning pine,
borne to them by the northerly breeze and
filling tho air with-Its aroma. The Dyaks
kindled a huge fire. The heat was percep
tible even on the ledge, but the minutes
passed and the dawn broadened Into day
without any other result being achieved.
Iris, a little drawn and pal? with sus
pense, said with a timid giggle
"This does not seem to be so very seri
ous. It reminds me of my efforts to cook."
"There 1b more to follow, I fear, dear one.
But tho Dyaks are fools. They should have
waited until night fell -again, after wearing
us out by constant vlgllanco all day. If
they Intend to employ smoko it would be
far worse for us nt night"
Phew! A volume of murky vapor arose
that nearly suffocated them by the first
whiff of Its noisome fumes. It curled like a
black pall over the face of the rock and
blotted out sea and sky. They coughed In
cessantly and nearly choked, for the Dyaks
naa uirown wet seaweed on top of the
burning pile of dry wood. Mir Jan, born
In interior Indln, knew little abont the sea
or Its products, and when the Bavasres
talked of Beaweed he thought they meant
green wood. Fortunately for him, the as
cending clouds of smoke missed the cave, or
iniaiuoiy ne must nave been stifled.
"Lie flat on the rock!" gasped Jenks.
Careless of waste, he poured water over a
coat and made Iris bury her mouth and
nose In the wet cloth. This gave her Im
mediate relief, and sho showed her woman's
wit by tying the sleeves of the garment
behind her neck. Jenku nodded compre
hension and followed her example, for by
this means their hands were left free.
The black cloud grow more dense each
few seconds. Nevertheless, owing to the
slopo of the ledgo and the tendency of the
smoke to rise, tho south side was far more
tenable than the north. Quick to note this
favorablo circumstance, tho sailor deduced
a further fact from It A barrier erected on
the extreme right of the ledge would be a
material gain. He sprang up, dragged the

and propped it on the handle of the nick.

It was no mean feat of strength that he
performed. He swung the heavy and cum

dust cloth. He emerged from the gloom of
the driven cloud red-eyed but triumphant
Instantly tho vapor on the ledge lessened,
and they could breathe, even talk. Overhead
and in front the smoke swept In ever-In
creasing density, bet once again the scriMr

lips set tight and her chin dimpled.
