Sir Edgar Winter lifted his oars out of the water and looked up at the dainty figure of his companion, sented luxuriously among the cushions of the boat. "I did once think of marrying, nearly twenty-five years ago," he replied thoughtfully. "Really! Oh, do tell me about It. Or perhaps you would rather not?" Sir Edgar smiled gravely. ' "Oh, there are no painful memories connected with the subject, I assure you. I will tell you the story." "Thnnk you. Women are always Interested In a love tale, you know. I should like to bear it," and Mrs. Els worth was all attention. She was a pretty woman of about thirty-five, the widow of a rich Lan cashire manufacturer. Some ten years ago she had married a man nearly forty years her senior, and had re joiced at the opportunity of exchang ing the somewhat dull existence of nn obscure country parsonage for a life of wealth and luxury. John Ellsworth bad been both proud and fond of his young wife, and when, after five years of happiness, his death took place he left her sole mistress of his large fortune. But Madge Elsworth had no Inten tion of remaining a widow. Her wealth, together with rnther more than the usual amount of tact so indispen sable for her purpose had enabled her to plant her foot on the first rung of the social ladder, and she meant it to aid her in mounting a good-deal higher. Chance had thrown her much lately Into the society of Sir Edgar Winter, a handsome, well-preserved bachelor on the rlcrht side of flftr. He had nroved to be If not one of the most devoted at least an admirer of hers, and sev- eral of ber friends had remarked his attentions. And Mrs. Elsworth was more thnn willing to receive those at tentlons. Sir Edgar was a popular man, much sought after, and the bar onetcy was an old one. They were both at the present time guests of Lady Fopham at ber cbnrm lng house on tho Thames, and Mrs. Ellsworth had by a little strategy man aged to get Sir Edgar to take her on the river for a moonlight row. Moon light on the water savored of sentiment and romance, and even the coldest had been known to thaw under such clr cumstances. It was certainly a lovely evening. The moon wns climbing higher end higher in nn opal sky. A soft wind gently rustled the overhanging trees, and there was perfect stillness save for the cawing of a few rooks and an occasional slight ripple on the water, Sir Edsar drew In the oars, letting the boat drift slowly down the stream. Then he lit a cigarette, "It was Just before I left Oxford," be began, "that I met Kitty Montgora sry. She used to sing and dance nt. some theatre In London, and wns all the rage at the time. I don't remeni ber much about her now, except that she had very red hnlr, I thought ber an adorable creature, and fell violently In love with ber. I think Kitty was a bit fond of me, too, and I was rather proud of my conquest, as most of the fellows of my time bad lost their hearts, and some of them would bave given a lot for even a sinlla'from Kitty Montgomery, "Well, one, Sunday I happened to be spending the dny on a friend's boose- boat up the river. He had invited n lot of theatrical people, and Kltty'was among the number. Somehow during the evening sho nnd I managed to se cure n boat to ourselves, and we stole away from the rest of the party. It was n rlpplug evening, Just the sort of nlsht to make us sentimental nnd foolish. Moonlight, rippling water, music In the distance you know the ilud of thing." Mrs. Ellsworth nodded. She under Stood perfectly. "Well, we were sitting la the stern, and I had Just begun to talk the usual lort of nonsense, and was on the point of asking ber to marry me when a party of Cockney trippers came sud- denly round ft bend In the river, and before we bad time to realize what was happening they ran Into us, up letting our boat, and turning us Into tue water." "How very dreadful! And so the poor thing was drowned, was she?' "Drowned! Not a bit of It." re- turned Sir Edgar, shortly. "We both scrambled ashore hnrdly a bit the worse. They managed to rig us out with some sort of dry clothing on tho launch, and then we had lust time to cnteh our train to Waterloo."

"Yes, It's wonderful how thing work out sometimes. You were right not to continue your proposal.

Mrs. Ellsworth settled herself more cosily among the cushions, and sighed softly. It was a very effective sigh, nnd had taken n lot of practice. What a pity It Is," she murmured. "that life Is not nil summer, nnd tbnt all evenings are not like this. It's ah solutely cruel to think that we shall both be returning to London In a few dnys." Sir Edgnr nodded nnd continued rowing. Then he stopped suddenly. "Mrs. Elsworth." he said gently, I bave something to say to you. I won der If you can guess what It Is!" She dropped her eyes nnd murmuree something unintelligible. Mentally she was composing the announcement for the "Morning Post."

He rose as he spoke and attempted t cross the boat to her side, but as h did so he slipped, clutched at the seal to save himself, missed It, and fel bnckwards Into the water. Mrs. Els worth screamed and Jumped to the side of the boat Just as Sir Edgar wai endeavoring to climb Into It. Then combined weight, however, capsized the frail craft, and a minute later they were both struggling in the river. Fortunately they were quite close t the bnnk, and had no difficulty id reaching n place of safety. They ran straight back to the house, entering It bv a side door, so as to avoid tue rest of the party; and except for their dam aged clothes they were none the wors for their wetting. Sir Edear. when he had changed his things, gave his friends an nccount of the accident, nnd In the smoking-room mused on the strnnge coincidence V the turn of events. Mrs. Elsworth, on her pnrt, before her bedroom fire bewailed the unlucky accident, and wondered wbnt Sir Ed gar would have to say the next dny. Her doubts were, however, soon pui at rest the following morning by Lady Popham, who entered her room as she was breakfasting in bed, "Isn't this provoking?" she ex claimed, as she waved a letter In hoi hand. "Sir Edgar writes that he ha bad an urgent message, and has been obliged to leave for London by nn early train this morning. He left this note. for me to explain matters. xnow we shall be a man short. Isn't it a nuisance? By the way." she contin ued, "be sent a message to you. He hopes you are none the worse for last night's accident, and wishes to apolo gize for his carelessness. He is sorry he is unable to see you to say good bye." Then, without noticing ner rriena expression, she went on: "He told some one this morning tnai rrovldence always arranged tnese things for the best. What on earth could he mean?" "I am sure I don't know," said Mrs. Elsworth. crossly. But she fancied she did know, all the same. Norman H. Oliver, In The Free Lance. ; The Tanltj of Mao. "Why does a man always run his hand through bis hair when Me takes bis hat oft?" asked the observant man. Did you ever notice that man will Invariably do this very thing? Is it Just a nervous habit?

If the men simply wanted to smooth their touBled hair. of course, this would afford ample explanation of the habit. But why should a man who hns no hntr on his bead do the same thing? It Is not a sufficient answer to say tbnt such a man may have had a full suit of hair at one time, and that It Is simply a matter of habit contracted under differ ent conditions. As a rule men are un conscious of the fact. They do not know why, how or when they run their hands over tbelr heads. But they an do It Just the same.

Imagine the bewilderment nnd sur prise of these unseeing people In their encounter with one who could describe objects and recognize Individuals with out contact, avoid pitfalls without as certaining tbelr existence by tho sense of feeling, and eveu nnuouuee the pres ence of objects nt a very considerable ilstnnce. Doubtless such sightless folk, if they were reasoning beings, would try in various ways to account for their vis itor's achievement. In doing this, moved by the Impulse that leads us to measure the faculties of others by our own limitations, they might be Inclined to credit him with a development of henrlug or of smelling or of some other power exercised by themselves In apprehending external things, sufficiently extended to meet the case. The simpler and, nil things con sidered, the more probable explanation thnt the performer possessed a sense absent In themselves, might be the last to occur, or, perhaps, prove acceptable when suggested to them. In their unwillingness to accept such nn Interpretation of the facts they would follow many of our scientists, who, until quite recently, have been reluctant to admit that a number of the lower animals possibly possess other (venues than ours. So much new and undeniably nffirmatory evidence is, however, now being offered on this point thnt there can be no longer any substantial reason for doubting that tle five senses man imperfectly exer rises nrc by no means all that are pos sible to sentient creatures. One such sense not possessed by humnn beings, but to a greater or less degree almost universally present In mammnla, birds, reptiles, fish and Insects, Is what per haps may be called the sense of locali zation. It ennbles its possessor, ap parently by its sole use, to find a de sired spot. It Is evidently closely con nected with an Instinctive and perfect memory of distance nnd direction. That the homing pigeon exercises it to some extent, though undoubtedly aided- by the landmarks It recognizes, is indis putable; that the honey bee has it in its fulness nnd perfection cannot, after the careful experiments of Albrecht Bethe In Germany, be doubted. Perhaps as striking an Instance of Its use ns any is that related of tho ringed seal (Phoca factlda). which furnishes the Eskimo of Greenland nnd of tho Arctic archipelago with food nnd cloth lng. The female seal, when about to have young, forms for herself nn Igloo or domed cavity In the snow Just above the breathing hole which she keeps open in the Ice. Here her baby is born, nnd rests, sheltered from the fierce Arctic gales by the roof of snow over bead, on the ice near the breathing hole. To supply herself and th little orenture with food, the mother seal has to swim for miles through water black ns midnight without tho faintest rny of light to guide her on her way; no light can penetrate the strata, dozens of feet thick, of Ice and snow above. Aided by none of the faculties we exer else in apprehending external thlflgs, but by some mysterious power, of which we can form little or no concep- tlon, she follows swift, elusive fish In all their turnings, secures her prey nnd returns, unerringly, to her own particular At-luk, or breathiug hole, however distant, where bar young one awaits ber, I. II. Fabre. the celebrated French entomologist, tried several experiments with mason bees (Chullcodonia pyre nalca); results which an? useful In con firming those of Bethe on the honey bee. nnd still further strengthening bis position. Insomuch as the mason bee 1 very different from the former, living as It does but n short time lu the wluged state, and uot'having opportu nlty to become acqunlntad with local! ties as distant as those to which l a bre carried It. One of these seile of experiments made with bees, testified very convincingly to the fact that the sense of sight has nothing nt all to do with the recognition of objects or of localities by the Insects In question. A bowlder, to which a purtlully flulsbsd tiest'ot a Challcodonm was attached, was. during th temporary absence of Its builder, removed a short distance. but in plain sight of the place formerly occupied by It. The bee returning, flew nulcklv to the snot where she had been carrying on ber unfinished dwell lng. She then flew off, but speedily returned, and again sought diligently In tho self-same spot for ber, absent nest. This she did a number or tunes occasionally passing lu her flight within a very few Inches of tho object she was lu search of, wljhout once reeog- nlzlng it. When the nest und the bowlder to which It wus attached were moved back again to within a very short distance of the locality to which she had always returned, the bee would at times actually alight upon the atone, visit the nest, run about over the bowlder as If to examine it and then fly away again, It Is evidently its location In space nnd not Jts appearance that enables the be to recognize its nest Another nest p .t In place of her own waa adopted by Challcodouia. without nny question although the nests were very different In appearance, the oue consisting of single incomplete cell and the other of many cells Theso snmo powers and the same Hm ltatlons belong to this localizing sense In wasps. Bembex, for instance, forma ber nest in sandbanks that are sometimes acres In extent. Bcfor leaving her burrow the insect covers It over with annd, masking It so complete, ly that it is entirely Indistinguishable from the aurrouudlng nest On revisit lng the nest, however, which she has to do in atorlng It with food, she flies .without hesitation directly to It. . The little wasp (CercerU tnberculata) possesses this sense In a high degree, .perhaps also another, for In choosing Sh hMtlM with which to atora tha bur. rows she digs In the soil for her future llarvoe. aha never gets outside a partlc- 'ujar family of these Insects, cut. te- 111 u In il XX CARTER BCARD. niiiikiihle as It may nppenr, will take specimens Altogether different lu np pearrnce, shape, size nnd color, pro vided they belong to the right family, The inn ge of selection, so wide In re spect to varieties, so limited ns to kind, seems to point to some sense of which we know nothing, but which supplies CercerU with tlx? power of dlHcriinlmi' tlon required. Fabre captured n dozen femnle Cor- cerls, dropped a spot of white paint on the thorax of every one. put each Into paper roll, put the roll containing the prisoners Into a box from which they were liberated one nnd a quarter lies from home. Five hours after- nrd, when he visited their home, four nd returned, nnd be had little. If nny, doubt tbnt the others nlso found their ay there. He afterward took nine of the Insects to the town of Carpentrns, distance of two miles, and released them In the public street, In the centro of a populous quarter. Each wasp, on being released, rose vertically high enough between the houses to clear the roofs, and flew off In a southerly direc- on, in a beellne for her nest. On vis iting the homes of the little wasps next dny he found thnt at least five out of the nine bnd "put In an appearance." But perhaps the strangest Instance of the possession of some sense unknown to us occurs In the ense of the parasitic asp Leucopsls (Leucopsls glgas). Leu- copsls lays her eggs In the cells built by the mason bee C'hnllcodmn. The cell of this bee Is placed In a mass of solid masonry, a part only of which Is occu pied by cells. Every cell is built wltb bard mortar, making an nneven sur face, nnd access Is rendered even more difficult by a layer of sun-baked clay spread over the whole. Leucopsls has perhaps to work uninterruptedly for three hours wltb the tools nature has furnished to penetrate the defense pro- Ided by the mason bee for the egg nnd food stored In the cell. But the cover ing Is uniform over the whole struct ure. How Is Leucopsls to know thnt fter nil her work mny not be In vnln; that she may not penetrate masonry that covers no cell? This pr6blen Is easily solved by the wasp, who walks slowly nnd, so to speak, thoughtfully over the clay, tests It with her anten nae, and unfailingly' selects the right spot to begin ber work, which of course s to obtain access to the larvae of the mason bee, upon which her young will feed when the egg she lays thoro Is hatched.

WORKMAN OF ENGLAND. Dipping Farther Back Into Mlra of Fend- allam. These- traveling workmen (the Mose- ley commission) seem to have come back with very much the same advice on their lips as the Prince of Wales after his tour around the world. It Is, 'F.ngland, wake up!" While our great offspring across the Atlantic Is develop ing a mighty community of free nnd rqunl white men, we nre slipping fur ther back Into the mire of feudalism Our classes are growing further apart. Instead of combining to revive our in diiHtries, employers and employed seem to be more divided than ever. Shel tered behind managers and foremen ort tho one side, and behind trndo unions on the other, they glower nt one another like armies at war. Would any ou? believe that they were engaged In a common enterprise? That they were really parts of the same nrmy? Mutual recriminations fill the air, and when the nation should be moved by a common Impulse It Is torn asunder by conflicting pusslons. The strength of America lies In the devotion of the national resources tc the common well-being. But here It is nlways a class, nnd not the nation, which Is to bo helped. Education Is sacrificed to tlie church. Temperance Is thrown to the brewers. Taxes are placed upon food, and the proceeds dis tributed between the landlords nnd the parsons. The workman Is the last man to be considered in all this. The aim seems to be to govern him by hit very fallings. If be is ignorant nl! the better. Let him remain so. He will be easier to govern. If he li drunken, then heaven forfend that we should remove the cause. A soliei man might claim his lights; but s drunken man Is always a fool. The elevation of the masses Is contrary tc the Instinct of a people whose ruling Instinct Is caste. It Is better that thej should remain a mob. But the trade unionists who have visited the United Stntes will not be content with thli doctrine. They will be nble to preneb to their fellow-workmen the sovereign remedy of equnllty. They will bo able to tell them of a country where every workman carries, so to speak, the mar shal's baton In bis knapsack. The stock is the same on both sides of the Atlantic. Wd will not for a moment admit that the British workman is any worse titan the American. But he works In a stale and exhausted environ ment, and his energies nre hampered by laws nnd customs which are part of an obsolete order. Let him be treated like a man, and he will behave Ilka n man. Interest him In the dnlly work of bis factory, and he will grow In In telllgeuce and power to be the equal of bis American brother.
