During the earlier portion of her
friend's remarks a smile hovered
around Lulu Brandon's lips, and she
continued her task of cutting the leaves
of the Ia.n new magazine; but as the
final sentence was pronounced her face
flushed din-ply.
"My private affairs need not concern
the, public, lie'ie." she replied with
dignity. "But I agree with you that I
have been too patient. I acknowledge
myself :o be considerably at fault, for

affection, feeling so secure of mine. Of

twenty-four hours; but all such words
must come from my lord himself."
Her brief displeasure gone, with a
merry laugh she arose and linked her
arm in that of her friend, and drawing
her to a cozy sofa lu one corner of the
room, proceeded to formulate plans by
which she should bring her lover to
terms without his knowledge of her
conspiracy.
That evening, at tea, Mr. Clarence
Curtis suddenly inquired:
"Been over to the Brandons' to-day.

"Yes. and by the way, Clarence, Lu

"All ri-'iit. sis; I'll go around to the

There was a significant twinkle in
her eyes as Mrs. Gorman rejoined:
"I hope you'll enjoy the play. The
Kemlals are drawing large houses."

In spite of the Indifferent manner and

theater-loving friend took far less in
terest in the play than in the couple
who occupied one of the boxes nearly
opposite from where they were seated.

he knew she had alwavs reardevl the

elder brother, while she gave the love
of her young heart to bis comrade and
i iiuiu. How well he recalled the days,
years ago, when fid had told him with
sad eyes and tremulous voice that Lulu
iind rejected him: lie comforted hlni
as best he conld, selfishly exulting lu
the thought that he possessed hef love
unasked, unsought. Strange that his
possession never seemed quite so valu
able as to-night! He wondered what
Sidney was saying to make her smile
and blush so deeply. Well, the act
would soon lie over, and then he and
KolnTts would go and see them, and so
ive the public to understand that mat
ters were as usual between him and
Miss Brandon.
With this thought he resolutely
Kir",'l his attention to the stape. and
-tseverlngly held It there until the
eiu iaiu fell. Then, turning to Roberts, ,
''" proposed that they should go over
opposite box.
I .s they entered It Sydney greeted
1 th.ui !u his usual sincere and hearty
I manner, while Lulu, with a 6inile, gave
band first to Clarence and then to
I'oberw, at the same time motioning
her lover to a seat by her side. As
Huberts for a few minutes engaged Sid- j
uey ln conversation, Curtis managed to j
ask Miss Brannon whv she had not in- i

him of her desire to come to ;
the theater. She frauklv replied that ,
lool felt Keeti .viih r rt . 1
until Sidney unexpectedly called and i
asked her to accompany him. This she
told him with a manner so devoid of j
coquetry that he felt reassured, and 1
left her with a complacent feeling that
he was quite sure of her affection.
He called to see her the next evening
ns usual, and nothing was said of the
recent Incident. Clarence's brief Jeal
ousy was forgotten, and he calmly ac
cepted the old condition of things.
Why should he be In ha-ste to marry
even the most charming girl in the
world?
lie hesitated to give np the freedom
and luxury of bachelorhood for the re
straints which marriage must inevita
bly bring. Lulu was such a delighted
companion nnd sweetheart! Would
siie be equally charming as a wife?
Whether or not she wished to marry ha
never conjectured. He had always
lived for his own comfort, and self was
his tirst consideration. So when he left
her that evening the words were still
unspoken which would bind her to him,
and he was yet a free man.
A fortnight passed as usual, with no
change In the relations of the two.
Lulu was a proud girl, and Mrs. Gor
man's look of Inquiry every time they
now met was hard to bear. Matters
reached a climax on the day when
Belle incautiously said:
"I have been scolding Clarence about
yon. Lulu. I tell him he will rue his

"Are not all men so?" asked Lulu,
pr'itly; but her eyes were l!ka sparks.
When at 8 o'clock next evening Clar
ence called to see Miss Brandon, the
maid Informed him that she had just
"went out with Mr. Lawrence." Again
the green-eyed demon seized the tardy
wooer, and this time it wonderfully
quickened his latent love. He resolved
to ask the Important question at once.

INTEGRITY NOT FOR SALE.
Ohio Farmer Flared Knctare with ' ae
Lobbyist to Prove It. !
A few years ago, when a Ur ited
States Senatorial election waa in? end- ;
lug in Ohio, one of the leading randi
dates needed another vote to n? ike his
election sure, and his campalfj mana- '
ger, after canvassing the situation, be
gan work upon a bucolic repreeenta- i
tive from one of the Western Reserve t
counties.
The old man grew retf indignant at j
the first hint of uionej in connection i
with hie vote. He fumed a great deal, j
swore a little and very melodramatical- j
ly asserted that "his manhood was not !
for sale at any price." Gradually the !
fact was Impressed upon him that the
one neeeesary vote could be secured
In another quarter, and that Ws ob- I
stinacy would have no effect upon the ,
Senatorial result anyway, while rt j
might materially affect his pocketbook.
Thereupon the old fellow made an !
eloquent plea in his own behalf. He I
strongly asserted that he was an hon-
est man, whose reputation was as dear
to him as his life, and whose character
always had been unspotted by contact
with the world.
"You will readily understand, sir,"
ha added, "that having so much at
stake as I do it would be Impossible

TIME NEEDED IN THINKING.
Fcientiata Are Now Experimenting on
Ibis lntereetina Subject,
Experiments regaVdiug the time need
.. the averaire man to think are
tow engaging the attention of scien
tists. Just how long does It take a
Lian to think was the topic discussed
t y Professor Kichet at a recent meet
ing of the British association, lie gave
the results of his investigations on the
ul.ject and made some Interesting re
marks upon them. Among othel things
l.o found that a man could think of the
1 oies of the musical scale at the rate
of eleven to the second. The experi
ment was performed by running the
notes for one or more octaves and then
dividing the total time by the total
number of notes.
There are various ways of arriving
at conclusions as to the amount of time
necessary for realizing any physical
sensation or mental Impression. If the
skin be touched repeatedly with light
blows from a small hammer a person
may. according to Professor Itlchet, dis
tinguish the fact that the blows are
separate and not continuous pressure
when they follow one another as fre
quently as 1,000 a second.
The smallest Intervals of sound can
he much better distinguished with one
ear than with both. Thus the separate-
ness of the clicks of a revolving tooth
j ed wheel was noted by one observer
j when they did not exceed sixty to the
KHuml, but using both ears he couiu
not ,ilstingviisb them when they occur-
d ofteuer than fifteen times a second.
I The sharp sound of the electric spark
I u f an induction coil was distinguished
I with one ear when the rate was as
; high as 5500 to the second. Sight is
! much less keen than hearing in di
MnguKnjDg differences. If a disk half
...hit nd u,ir blaci, i. reVoIved It
wia appear gray when Its revolutions
exceed twenty-four per second,
It naa betn foun,i that we can hear
far more rapidly than w can count, so
that If a clock-clicking movement runs
faster than ten to the second we can
only count four clicks, while with twen
ty to the second we can only count two
of them. Fatigue and want of nervous
vigor has a marked effect in lengthen
ing the shortest time that we can dis
tinguish between different impressions.
Alcohol acted, as might be expected,
tn making the subject of experiment
uot able to distinguish such minute in
tervals of time as he was able to do
without it, and at the same time in
making him believe that he was doing
better than usual.

"What!" she cried, to the embar
rassed servant, "do you not see that
Ninette and her kittens are occupying
thiwe chairs?"
With a low, deprecatory bow the
lackey pointed to the sofa.
"Stop!" cried the lady to her visit
ors. "Mignon has been 111; she cannot
rest comfortably except upon that
sofa."
The guests paused in some confusion
and were stepping back, when a loud
"mew" from behind warned them that
they were again on dangerous ground.
"In heaven's name!" exclaimed the
distracted lady, "my poor Nanon will
be crippled if you do not step care
fully." Finally the astonished gentlemen
were led Into another apartment, fol
lowed In solemn procession by twenty
Angoras, which trailed their silk
gowns along with the gravity and dig
nity of Judges, while the guests had
great difficulty in restraining their
mirth.
Madame Helvetius did not seem to
appreciate the absurdity of the situa
tion, or appear to object to the mewing
and purring that made a perfect chorus
around her. Her pets sat upon her
train, climbed over her and took pos
session of the best of everything.
When refreshments were served they
clamored until It seemed as if every
cat in Paris bad been let loose ln that
drawing room, nor was the opro...
quieted until they were fed.
Before the guests were served each
cat had leaped up Into a cushioned
chair, where she disposed of her por
tion of the viands ln nnrehuked greed,
filling the air with the mingled sound
of munching of. bones, quarrelsome
cries and loud "mews."
While this singular scene was being
rnacted the hostess made herself agree
i.ble, chatting with her visitors on va
rious Interesting topics, but D'Aumale
nn1 nls friend were so absorbed by the
curious spectacle that her efforts were
almost unnoticed. When the guests de
parted they Indulged freely in the mer

LOVING ROMEO AND JULIET.
Their Bodlea Mill Kxkibited and Have
Been Phatosraphed.
There is strong evidence that the or
iginal Borneo and Juliet were the lovers
of Teruel, an ancient city ln Spain. The
legend of the lovers of Teruel baa ex
isted in Spain longer than that or
Romeo and Juliet ln Italy, and the two
closely resemble one another. It la
merely the story of two young lovers
who die rather than live without one
another. ,
Archer M. Huntington, a student or
Spanish literature, baa visited Teruel
and there seen and photographed the
mortal remains of the two bodies.
They died early ln the thirteenth cen
tury, and were buried in a chapel of
the Church of San Pedro. In 1556, dur
ing a renovation of the chapel, their
tomb was discovered. From that time
it remained undisturbed natll 1615,
when the repairs of the chapel were
terminated. Again the lovers rested in
peace until 1708, when they were re
moved to the cloister and set up in a
cupboard with a marble ientcriptlon
above them:
"Here repose the celebrated Lovers
of Teruel, Don Juan Diego Martinez de
Marcilia and Dona Ysabel de Segura.
They died In the year 1217, and in 1708
were transferred to this church."
"Finally," says Mr. Huntington, "In
1854 the people of Teruel, realizing at
last the importance of their mummi
fied lovers, bad them placed upon a
walnut stand, supported mechanically
ln a standing position and clothed In
right gauze skirts! It la Impossible to
conceive anything more grotesque or
amusingly horrible. The romantic and
passionate story ends in a showcase.
The dusty, bony corpses raised to a hor
rible similitude of life, are even so ad
Justed as to suggest an affectionate
gaze toward each other a gaze eman
ating from profound sockets, above
which are two bald and glassy heads.
Marcella is the best preserved, the lady
having been Injured and having lost an
eye In the exhumation in 1555."
The most valuable literary version of
the story of the lovers of Teruel was
written by Den Juan Bugenio uanzen-
bosch in 1837.
It should be explained that in the
Spanish story the young woman mar
ries in the absence of her lover. When
bs returns they both die and her hus
band decides that they shall be buried
together.
ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
When a man calls on an old girl,
there Is great excitement ln the neigh
borhood until it is learned that he
called to sell her a new brand of blue
ing, or on some other matter of busi
ness. As soon as a man dies, his women
folks recall that he had "favorite"
hymns", which they ask to be sung at
the funeral. This happens in many
cases where the deceased would be
greatly surprised at the discovery, if
he knew of It
The word "friendship" Is abused al
most as much as the word "love."
Nearly every person seems to expect a
great deal of love and friendship with
out giving anything ln return, and
makes a great fuss because of disap
pointment Nearly all drafts on friend
ship are protested.
Every one fears that If he should be
come delirious, he would give away all
his secrets, and trot out every skeleton
ln his private closet. Calm yourself.
People who are delirious tell nothing
they know. An Atchison man who
was recently so near death that he
heard Moses sing, raved constantly
about his head being a Missouri Pacific
freight bouse.
If you want te get even with a man,
give his daughter s kodak. She will
love you for It and ft win break her
father up. It costs aa nrncb te run a
kodak as to keep s horse, or bet on the
races. The amounts are small, bat
they are very numerous. Before a girl
has learned enough to take and develop
a single picture, her father will have
paid out a sum sufficient to have paid
for photographs by a professional, ef
the entire family, the cow and dog in
cluded. It Is a good scheme for making
a man trouble, and getting credit for
generosity ln doing It
