"It won't do at all,' she said. 'We

She demanded If this was where a

I said yes she still was doubtful. I

"I assured her that had I known

"The next time I peered out over

bookcase, so I welcomed him with a
sweet smile. He seemed impressed.
He said he wanted a bookcase the
worst way for his office. Of course,
I added, the price made no difference
to him, I knew, and he said no, In

this picking up second-hand book
cases.
"He said It was a lovely case and

I regretted that I had not asked
more for It.

'It wouldn't do at all, would it?"
"'Why not?' I queried.

KING OF 8WAN ISLAND.
He's a Philanthropist and Well Liked,
Especially by Seamen.
Among tho saloon passengers ar
rlvin;, in Boston recently on the
steamer Sun Jose, from Port Llmou,
Costa Rica, was Alonzo Adams, owner
vif Swan Island, and who la known
throughout Central America as the
king of Swan Island. His domain
is u fertile island situated in te Car
ibbean Sen, upou which he has a
beautiful residence and numerous
houses for his laborers. He raises
fruit and cocoanuts and employs sev
eral hundred men. Mr. Adams is a
philanthropist, and lias assisted not
only the Inhabitants of several of the
friends of the Caribbean, but Is ut
especial help to mariners. Knowing
I'rro value of a light to guide the ves
sels running through the Caribbean on
their way from New York and Bostou
to Port Union and other points, he
built and maintains a light on the is
land, which can be seen for many
miles, and rays of which warn the
captains of steamers not to approach
too dose to the shallow waters in the
vicinity. Mr. Adams is sixty-live
yenis old and Is a native of East'
puit. He keeps informed of what Is
transpiring In the world by the pap
ers brought to him by passing steam
ers. Philadelphia Press.
The Ultra Microscope.
The ultra microscope Is a recent de
vice of science. By its aid It Is ex
pected that many micro-organisms
which hitherto defied observation will
be detected. As the classification of
microbes has advanced, biologists
have Inclined to the conclusion that
many must still remain unknown, too
small to be perceived with any Instru
ment hitherto In use.
The new apparatus is the Invention
of two Frenchmen, Cotton and Mon
ton. It Involves no change In the ex
isting arrangement of lenses. It is
the system of lighting that li revolu
tionized. The ray Is used at right
angles to the axis of the instrument,
Instead of coinciding with it. Thus
the light sweeps across the objective
parallel with Its plane.
By this means it is said that many
particles so small that they have de
fled detection under the most power
ful glasses become visible as brilliant
points. It Is a new world, enthusias
tic nilcroscopists say, that is opened
to scientific study.
Italians Like Picture Shows.
Milan, the center of Italy for the
moving picture machine trade, has al
ready about 40 such theaters. Every
available hall is being turned Into a
moving picture show, while nearly
eveiy second and third-rate theater
and "cafe chantant" finishes the ev
ening's entertainment with a few cine
matograph pictures. During the du
sumnier months even the larger the
aters are used.
Door For Great Occasions.
Many old houses In H-illand have
a special door which Is never openea
save on special occasions when
there is a marriage or a death in the
family. The bride and bridegroom
enter by this door and It is then nailed
or barred up until a death occurs,
when it is opened, and the body is
removed by this exit.
Chlldr'n's Playgrounds Increasing.
The number of children's play
grounds is increasing rapidly In many
cities. Recent statistics covering 2.
cities between 25,01(0 and 300,000 ;op
ulation show there has oeen in two
years an Increase of 94 per cent in
school playgrounds, and a tota! in.
crease of all kinds of playgrounds of
64 per cent In that period.
"Bunny" Plentiful In Australia.
To keep the plague of rabbits from
destroying the pastoral Industries ol
Australia 16,152 miles of public and
private rabbit-netted fences have been
erected at a cost of $4,O00,oou. Queens
land alone spends $400,000 a year In
erecting and maintaining fences to
keep out "bunny."
Human Hair Crop Profitable.
The human hair crop is a profitable
and expensive Industry. Five tons of
it are annually Imported by the mer
chants of London. The center of the
trade is Paris, where 200,000 pounds
are harvested annually, with a valua
tion of $4,000,000.
Ribbon Manufacture Increasing.
The production of ribbons at St
Etlenne amounted in 1906 to $19.0UU,
000, being an increase of $3,000,000
over the previous year. Exportation
was somewhat over $6,000,0uu, or an
increase of $2,000,000 as compared
with 1905.
Children Praying About Dying.
A British scientist nas spoken
against children praying about dying
while they are asleep. It is a great
mistake, he suld, to let children think
of sudden death.
Chicagoans Spend $300,000 for Shines.
It is estimated that people In Chi

their shoes polished. Of this amount
profits are said to be $100,000.

A FORTUNATE CAST
Original.
Around the edges of the artificial
pens! the crowd pressed close. Small
boys sat on the bankB of dry gran
that had long given up trying to lml
into nature, and scattered paper bags
and advertising material on the nn
co uplalnlng trout. The markers
rested undisturbed on the dirty wat

Mood on the end of the pier, wildly
Attempting to cast.
Well divvn toward the end of the
lond a young woman In a browu
suit edged her way through the
crowd. After much pushing, she
rained u position In the front row,
end ftood watching the pier. The
frantic young man reeled up his line
and depnrted. An official with a
megaphone took his place.
I "Mr. Alylen McLean will cast
first. Handicap, 15 feet, Mr. Mc
Lean Is now casting. Mr. McLean,"
be hooted to either side.
The girl In brown watched the
pier carelessly. When Mr. McLean
appeared she gave a sudden start
and her dark cheeks flushed. Then
she leaned more firmly on the bank,
her chin In her hands.
Mr. McLean advanced, unreeled
his line, made a few preliminary mo
tions and nodded unconcernedly to
the time-keeper. Behind htm, eager
ly watching his prowess, crouched
his sworn friend and ally, Dr. Mux-
well, muttering encouragement and
cheer.
Again and again Mr. McLean cast.
The crowd, attentive, critical, ap
plauded. The girl watched, her eyes
never leaving him. At last he seemed
to become conscious. His eyes
wandered from the markers and his
arm lost some of Its steadiness. The
girl smiled slowly.
And then ho Baw her. Hor brown
eyes looked steadily Into his meet
ing his look with a frank recogni
tion, while the red lips curved In a
merry smile.
It was her face, the face he had
been longing to see since that day last
summer when he had seen It for the
first and only time. Then It had
looked at him from a background of
green bushes, and now It gazed out
among hundreds of other faces, but
It was still the same. He had been
following a winding brook among
the New Hampshire hills, making a
desultory cast now and then, when
suddenly, around a bend he had come
upon her. She was sitting on a rock,
her blue gingham skirt held care
fully about her knees, her feet dab
bling In the cool water. He remem
bered now her cry of dismay when
she had seem him, and how she fled
from the rock and up the bank.
But once among the bushes she had
turned and laughed at him, even as
she laughed now.
"Allan, for heaven's sake, what Is
It? Have you seen a ghost? Ninety
seconds gone, man, and there you
stand. What ails you?"
Dr. Maxwell's voice recalled him
to his surroundings. He squared his
shoulders, stepped forward and rais
ed his arm. But he could see only
tLe girl's face, and his hand shook.
The hook flew out far to one side.
A girl's shriek rang through the
Btillness. The girl In brown pressed
her hund to her cheek and took it
away, dripping with blood. Then
she quietly slid down on the bank.
Mr. Allan McLean dropped his rod
and leaped from the pier. Dr. Max
well was a close second. Cries and
commands filled the air. Dr. Max
well pushed McLean to one side and
lifted the girl. He made a quick
examination.
. "Stand back," he shouted, "don't
crowd It's only a flesh wound. She's
fainted that's all." When she came
to herself there was a hospital dress
ing on her face and a strange young
man bending over her.
"Don't be alarmed. You're all
right. It's a most distressing acci
dent, but I was fortunate enough to
be on hand wilt my kit, and I don't
believe It will leave a very bad star.
I can't tell you how badly my friend
feels. He will never cease to regret
his clumsiness. And now If you will,
tell me where you live, my auto is
at the door, and I'd better take you
home."
"You're very kind," she answered,
in a shaky voice. Her pretty chin
quivered. 'It was my own fault. I
shouldn't have tried to make him
look at me. I'm Margaret Perry,
and I'm stopping with my aunt."
She named the address. "I'd like
to go home, please."
It was really surprising how many
calls Dr. Maxwell was obliged to
make to be absolutely certain that
that flesh wound was healing pro
perly. And when It was healed ha
seemed professionally interested In
the scar.
When Miss Perry returned to New
Hampshire, Dr. Maxwell sent and re
ceived dally bulletins.
A year later Mr. Allan McLean
officiated as best man at a wedding
In New Hampshire. The bride had
a scar on her left cheek.
After the ceremony she turned to
the best man.
"Allan," she said, laughing, "I
think I've forgiven you for that un
fortunate cast of yours. "In fact,"
looking up at her husband, "I'm not
sure but that I shall thank you for It
all my life." Mrs. 8am Moses.
