This night a strange dream came
to hinr. lie was at home again with
his parents. In the dear old room, joy
ous and happy. The day being very
warm, the door was left ajar, when
suddenly everything was clothed In In
tense ilnrkness.
He could distinguish the faces of his
beloved ones once more, hut some
irresKtable power drew his glance to
ward the door, from whence issued a
stream of light, in which .stood a beau
tiful young woman, whose gaze held
him spellbound. He tried to rise, but.
seeing her advance lie again sank into
his seal, for her lace, though beau
tiful, was terrible to behold!
Her eyes were of a deep, flashing
black, her hair hung about her white
shoulders like a funeral pall! As she
fixed her Klitteiing eyes upon him.

bending over him with her terrible
face close to his, she hissed in hts
tar: "You shall not escape lilaek
Maria!" At these words, Kranz
awoke with a shudder. He was not
superstitious, yet. do what he might,
he could not banish the uncanny dream
11 om his memory.
At night fall the next day he readied
his destination and snou found lodg
ings in 11 liennnn family whose male
members were all miners. They were
very kind to liini and Kranz became
deeply interested in them. The even
lug was spent in relaling thrilling
tales of the mine, its dangers, to which
tlie miner is at all times exposed, yet
no life seems 10 him so desirable and
in nine cases out of ten, a miner, hav
ing Hied other work, eventually drifts
back again 10 his former occupation.
Tlie following day, Kranz arose ear

was open.

The deputy leaned over because theie

Ilo told lleiinessy so milch of the

to admit that he must have hewn on

He was separated for a time from
the kind man with whose rnmlty he
lived, hut his companion, who was also
a Oei'tiiiui, explained ninny things
about the work;, yet, when approached
on other subjects, seemed taciturn.
Then they worked on In silence, un
til .suddenly a .strange noise was heard,
Kr.inz's companion shouted, "llun, run
foe your life!" Something terrible,
must have taken place. Amid Hie
confusion which followed. Kranz heard
someone call, "(let the Ulnck Maria,

He stood as If rooted to the spot: then
he staggered away, luckily unhurt,
only dazed and groping his way toward
the opening, where he saw a faint ray
of daylight. He encountered Ills com
panion, who had shouted to him to
run, and tremblingly asked him.
"Who Is Ulack Maria'." "You'll learn
that soon enough," he replied, surlily,
and Kranz, Inwardly ashamed of hav
ing let his dream so completely over

walked away.
All day he could scarcely eonecn
ttate his mind upon his work, for
whenever he laid down his pick to
rest a few moments, h" seemed to see
a thoiisnnd glllterlng eyes fixed upon
him, peering out of all the nooks and
projecting locks.,
He manfully fought against his Im
aginations and when night came, all
was once inure tranquil within him.
How well the miners know tin

as the forms disappear within the

BADE DEFIANCE TO CHILE.
"Fighting Bob" Evans on an Interesting-
Intel-national Episode.
Hear Admiral Hohlcy r, Kvaps had
a trying time during tho trouble with
Chile while In command of tho York
lown at Valparaiso, in "A .Sailor's
Log," published by D. Applelou ,C- Co.,
lie lell.s the following story of one of
Ills experiences:
"One of the performances that had
most tried my patience and temper at
Valparaiso was the way they ran their
torpedo bouts about my ship, using her
apparently a 11 target. At llrst I con
sidered it only as an exhibition of bad
manners, imi, in view of the various
wkrnlngs 1 had hud, 1 concluded that
there might bo something more scrlmts
In It.
"II was plain to all hands that an ef
fort wits being niiuli! (o Impress the of
llcers nf the foreign ships In port, who
watched closely with their glasses. I
was unwilling to play the part which
hud apparently been assigned me.
When they run al me the second time
one of the boasts missed my slern 'by
less tliiin six feel. I went to unnrters
at once nuil gave orders, If one of thnm
even scratched the paint on the York
town, lo blow the bout out of the water
und kill every man III her, so that there
could be ilo question of an accidental
collision. I then saw the ofllccr lit
chiirgc of the drills, and told him that
he certainly hud greaf eonlldenue In
the steering gear of his torpedo boats;
that If anything should Jam so that
one of I hem struck me I would blow
her bottom out.
"lie replied that the water In tlm
harbor belonged to Ills government,
mid thai he proposed to use It for tho
purpose of drilling his bents. I an
swered that I was fully 11 ware of the
ownership he had stated, hut that the
Yorktown mid the paint on her be
longed to the United States, and that
neither must be defaced by Ills torpedo
boats. After this Incident they did not
run at us so much, though the news
papers encouraged them to do so."

PLANTS AND SUNSHINE.
Takes Plenty of tho Latter to Keep
the Former Green.
l'n, 111 Cimil W'enl-'.
Kven ill the brightest room plants
are never of so rich a green as those
grown out of doors. In a dark cellar
no chlorophyll is produced at all. Ev
ery one has seen potatoes growing
I here, with their long attenuated stalks
and little white leave-;, which exist
but for a time, and when the reserve
material in the tuber is used up, wither
a way, because they have no light. To
produce chlorophyll the light must lie
at least of suflifient. intensity that
tills page may be easily read by it.
ui.il to act as a reducing agent it must
be vi ry considerably stronger. Every
one lias learned py sail experience lion-
hnpr.sslhle It is to keep plants in their
101 ins for any length of time, and the
rein.'on is that the light Is not bright
enough, and what there Is does not
lust long enough to produce the neces
sary quantity of food material to up
port life
There is another fatal tiling to the
uriiwtli of plants indoors, viz., the
dryness of the air, and tills can only
be overcome by covering over the plant
Willi .1 glass shade. As ph.nls die
from want of light, so. too, theie are
some whli'V die fiom too much. Many
of ihe mosses which cover damp,
shady walls and banks with their soft
covering' of green velvet die from too
great cxposme to sunlight. And this
brings ns to a most wonderful pro
vision of nature whereby many
plants are alile to a certain
limited extend to regulate Hie
amount of light which falls upon
them, mid that in two days. They
can turn the broad surfaces of (heir
haves toward the sunlight, so that
they are at right-angles to the Inci
dent ra, thus getting as much sun
light its possible, or they can turn them
,11 an angle so that they only receive
Very little oblique light.

till a. hook to properly describe their
bciittty,
Jf there Is one article more import
ant than the other In the category of
sartorial trllles It Is the neckwear.
There are so many nays of winding
ribbons and luces around lhc throat
that the woman who has not devised
something more original than the
styles prescribed Is positively bewil
dered when It comes to making 11. se
lection. There are Huffs and bows -for
long necks, with bands and strings for
short ones, followed by the myriad
tucks, plaits and button trimmed af
ralr.q for the neck that Is of Just the
right length.
One of the daintiest mid simplest de
signs for 11. short neck Is u. plain baud
of light colored satin appllqlicd with
one of the handsome luces now dis
played. Al either side there is turned
over the outside of the collar a point
of the same material edged with 11
narrow band of satin ribbon or velvet.
Another model for the woman with a
full throat Is n stock made of striped
material and laid in the tiniest of
tucks. Tills Is extremely simple and
Invariably presents n most charming
effect. The tucks may or may not be
hemstitched.
The slender necked sisterhood litis
greater variety, though It is doubtful
if she has 11 more charming group of
deslirns to select from. One of the
daintiest models is, u. creation In black
and white. The stock Is a plain affair
In white silk, overlaid with chiffon
pinched in liny lucks. The tucks are
laid in groups of five each, which are
alternated with the narrowest, bands
or black satin.
A. gown carried out in heliotrope
crepe de chine displays an original
collar In 11. modification or the Bvron
effect. A plain band of heliotrope
loulsiiie silk extends from each side
of a stock of white satin embroidered
with silver threads and Imitation am
ethysts. The protruding ends are
fstitched with bias bands of the satin
finished with tiny silver buttons. The
bodice has n vest of plaited cream col
ored chiffon hold down at frequent in
tervals with hands or. satin Mulshed
with the buttons.
A passing word must be said of lin
gerie. Under bodices are more elabor
ate than ever this season from the fact
that more diaphanous waists will be
worn than in previous years. In fact
the fashionable materials for summer
bodices seem to be confined to two
classes or fabrics, tlie spider well
goods and panne inoussellne, which Is
one or the novelties of the season.
This Is used a great deal for blouse
waists and comes in the plain colors,
besprinkled with black polka dots.
Hut we must not forget the lin
gerie. White taffeta petticoats are shown
In great variety and are in the best of
taste, except those which match the
gowns. Tucked ruflies with a hem
Joined by a row of cross-stitching of
gold thread trim a prettier model,
while another has plaltlngs of white
chiffon with a tiny ruche on the edges.
Hlaek chiffon Is also used for the ruf
fles and again there is a. tletaehablo
flounce made of white mull, lace Inser
tion and edging which can be laun
dered. Kuameled llower bat pins me among
the novelties of small articles of dress.
They have come in for a fresh share of
attention now that flowers dominate
the millinery department, and then
there are the Insect plus with Jeweled
beetles mid spiders attached to u
spring which gives them ,1 very realis
tic appearance.
Tiny dresden roses are very much
used in millinery and for trimming
evening bodices and are among the
nuiHt Impressible or the floral de
corations. One or the newest colors for rosettes
is champagne or wine white. One must
he blessed with a subtle power or dis
crimination in order to choose this
i'ashlonable tint, bin it is especially
attractive because of its sort warm
tinge.
Parasols aie very distinctive and de
serve a chapter to themselves. Elab
orate roses and orchids are embedded
and among tlie most extravagant
modes. Other designs in plain white
and tinted silks show two groups of
narrow tucks with a-band or gold em
broidery between.
Cauze ilbhnn in narrow widths Is
much used for ruchings on summer
gowns, ami other pretty effects In
tiiinmlne; are made with some of the
nai'iow frniey ribbons which come In
pretty combination of colors, and also
with little jewels through the centre.
Tlie latter style is more of a. braid In
effect, bul braids of all sorts are In
use. especially the lace braids marked
with gold threads.
