M. liaaiels jj> =0 Kxeept tor a solitary berth far down tlu- aisle Wilton had the I'ullmau to himself. 111 shi-er loneliness ho had turned lu early and lay staring at the stars and flitting telegraph poles hour after hour. His month of vacation at the old home had been a disappoint ment Tlie Texan ranch would be , good. ! e thought. His foreman would j lie g'ad to see him, and so would his puppy and yet, after all, there was no j one who really cared. "Hang it,"he murmured as he toss . ed hark Into the net his coat which a sudden slew ing of the train had thrown violently nit • his face. "ITang It,l wonder why on earth Hetty Allls had to take December, of all months, for a pleasure trip west ihe one month out of ti\ «* years that might have Riven me a chance to see her and know her again. 1 wond"- There was sudden darkness. Wilton found himself groveling on the car rt.•• »r Th«*re was the maddening sense of the helpies-ncs- with which in a nightmare one for breath and spare With fearful momentum, with grinding, tearing and upheaving, the | ear T" ..11 *' y t.. lis side, seemed to slide down and down, then, with a violent shoek. -tood still. The ghastly ttileii'that succeeded was as appalling as the uproar had been. Wilton lay still for a moment, waiting for ho knew not what. Then he crawled to his feet. gathered his clothes from the opposite «e<-tion and rapidly dressed himself. "Wonder what's happened," ho thought breathlessly. "Gee, smell that gas"' And he started toward the rear of the ear. A« his hand touched the stateroom wall at the end of thq aisle a girl's voice rang through the car, "Porter, porter, 1 wi»h you would come help me out " Wilton stopped. "Gad, she's cool, anyhow," he thought as he listened for the porter's response None came. The • ■dor of gas was filling the ear. He TfTEV HE i.AVE A GREAT GASP OF ASTON ISHMENT. leaped to tin- opposite window and kicked out a pane, letting in a Hood of cold air Then as quickly as Its angle would i>emiit he dashed down the aisle to the other lierth. "Let me help you, madam," he said. "The porter has deserted us." "I seem to be In a sort of well, ray l>erth is so tilted," answered the girl. "If you could just lend me a hand." In a moment a girlish form was standing beside him. "Are we killed?" she asked, her voice trembling a little lu spite of Its brave tone. "Not yet," answered Wilton, "but we'd better get out at once. The gas tanks are leakiug." Together they grojied down the aisle to find a brakeman forcing his way lu to the wreckage at the end of the car. "Any one hurt In here?" ho asked, flashing his lantern lu their faces. "The porter didn't stop to see." "All safe," answered Wilton. "What's the trouble?" "Open switch. Hanged Into coal chute Engineer and fireman killed. Lot of coach passengers hurt. You are the only Pullmans. Better get out of this" And he led the way up to the steep embankment down which the train had plunged, then trotted off down the track, leaving them alone l>«- slde the tangle of trucks and rails that marked the path of the wreck. Wilton picked up a forgotten lantern and for the first time turned to look at the girl whom he had rescued. Then he save a great gasp of astouf«hment. "Betty Allls! Where 011 earth!" "Jack Wilton! Where"— The two stood silent lu a hearty hand grasp Suddenly Jack fell to trembling, and for a moment a panic seized him. "Betty All is," he repeated, "to think that some one that 1 kuew and that I knew was in this catastrophe and so near death' It makes me It makes Uie" Here Betty broke the tension with a trembling little laugh that was none the less merry "But we sre l<oth SHIV and sound, so what's to worry us? Let's find out where we both cam from and" Then suddenly she l**enme siolier. "First, let"* go se»- If we can t»e of any use 4own there." \nd she glanced beyond V'ilton, where fiiiiiiig lanterns and a confn- on of voices marked the place of real catastrophe. Together they hur ried do.\u the tracks, to find that all that could ' done was being done for the sufferers and that now all that was possible w.is to wait for the wrecking train. Wilton drew Hetty away from the crowd. "We can't help." he said, "and you *re shivering with the cold. I'm going i>ack to yet your coat and my traps ind your- Then we will make a camp here on the bank." A few minutes later found them toasting before a brisk little fire that Wilton had kindled, while over in the east low streamers of pink silhouetted the dull outlines of a mining village. "Shall we try to liml shelter In the town?" asked Wilton. "(Tii, no." answered Betty. "Let's wait here." Wilton spread his hands contentedly to the 11 imes. while he stared so intent ly at the girl opposite that her eyes wavered. Yes. ii was the same Betty of five years before yet not the same Betty. She of live years before had been a child of eighteen. The woman of twenty three before him was the 1 fulfillment of all the earlier promises of loveliness Wilton's heart beat more quick I.\ as he looked at the glowing sweetness of her face. "Betiy." he said abruptly, "Betty, why have you never written me all these years?" Bett.\ looked at him quickly. This firm, dear cut face was different from the jolly boy's features she had re membered. and there was a new, im pelling quality in his tones that she rather liked "Because, Jack," she answered slow ly, • because you never wrote me." "oh. but I did." he replied; "three different times!'' "I never received the letters," she | said. "You might have known that ! Aunt Jane would take care of that." Wilton walked up and down rest j lessly half a dozen times and threw some -ticks on the fire before stopping in front of the girl. "And now," he :>ued, "would you mind telling me you sent me away from you five \. us ago?" "That was not Aunt Jane's fault, Jack," she said eagerly. "Indeed, you must not blame her for that. She could pursue her own methods, but she never could influence me in my own purposes." k "Thank heaven for that!" interrupt ed Jack grimly. "You sent me away," he prompted. Betty lifted her head bravely. "I sent you away," she said, "that you ! might prove to me whether or not you were a man. You were only a college student then." Jack thrust his hands more deeply into his pockets. He was holding in well, considering the flood tide with in. The sunrise and fin-light vied with each other in lighting up the sweet mo bility of her face. Yes, it was the same dear Betty. "And now," he said, a little hoarsely, "see how useless It was.for you don't know what the years have done for me, and you are five years grown away." Hetty rose slowly and looked Into his dear, dark e\#s. She looked at the fine, firm mouth, the clean cut tanned face, the straight, strong alertness of his figure She spoke slowly and softly. "Yes." she said, "we did not write to each other, hut," here she smiled a little, "your face tells me all that I j want to know." Jack took an eager step toward her. "And does it tell you that I have 1 loved you always, loyally, for the long | five years?" Betty's voice trembled a little. "Yes, Jack, it"— Hut the rest of her reply j was lost In Jack's arms. Im.iKl'iHllon. He visited the tomb where his be i loved was laid. Carrying a lighted i candle and kneeling by her coffin, he j exclaimed passionately: "Would I could die! Would I could die!" Just j then the wind closed the door and.ex tinguished the light. The bereaved I lover who had just prayed for death j rushed to the door. He could not open i It. He tore at it. knocked, kicked, I struggled, calling loudly for help. No answer, only the utter silence and dark ness of the tomb. His wish to die was forgotten. He sank down and wept. His tears were n >t for his beloved, but for himself. lie felt pangs of hunger. He thought of his candle and cut It Into four parts. He ate the first quarter the first day, the second the second day.the third on the third, the last quarter the fourth day. No more, and lie must die of starvation. He made one more desperate effort to hurst the door, when I." suddenly opened, and the keeper of the cemetery stood before him. The sunlight blinded him. He fell from exhaustion. He had been there just fourhours! Pearson's Week ly. Stone (ionffN. A recent English traveler in China describes some remarkable examples of sounding stones, or "stone gongs," which he saw at Chufu. the birthplace and burial place of Confucius. One of the stones, which are composed of a grayish oolitic limestone, has been shaped into a cover for an Incense disli placed in front of the tomb of the grandson of Confucius. When struck with a stick or with the knuckles It rings like bronze, and the sound is so distinct that it is difficult to believe without inspection that the object is not really composed of metal.

SAMPLE SPELLINGS. Wiinl* on Which Dictionaries ■1 ml People Differ. It is not strange considering that our language is in a stage ot transition growing. as all languages do that au thorities should differ on many points; Mice we lind that our three great dic tionaries sometimes differ in the mat ter of spelling.

Well, what is itV It is scarcely pos sible to say. There arc theories many of them. It is evidently something of which we cannot take a part We can not cut a piece of it off and subject it to analysis, nor can we pour a little of It into a bottle for future study and contemplation. It is like the wind —its effects can be measured; its force, strength and quantity can now be cal culated to a very nice degree. Still, to liken it to the wind, it is a stupendous power, a mighty typhoon, blowing, as It were, without moving, two ways at once along all parts of its path, giving off a halo of magnetism at right angles to that path everywhere. One of the nicest theories perhaps is the one that considers electricity a "condition" of atoms brought about by chemical action, as in a battery cell, or by what might be called a severe irri tation of the magnetic halo, as in a dy namo. and by other means, such as heat and friction. What this condition is is beyond us. It may be a violent rotation or it may he an equally violent vibration of at oms, but as no man has s-een an atoiu at any time, not even with the most powerful microscope, it is impossible to say. Friction lu some form or other is present, as heat is produced befure burning or destruction takes place- Exchange. SIMON MAGUS. Fhe Legend From \\ hi eh Wit 4 Horn the Story of Fauat. Almost every renowned man of an tiquity in the middle ages was believed to be attended by a spirltus familiaria and not a few were suspected of being In direct league with tlie devil. Proba bly the oldest legend of which the Faust legend is a continuous thread is that of Simon Magus, mentioned in the bistory of the apostles. According to Justin, he was a native of Gittou, a village In Samaria. He was, no doubt, a man of great intellec tual powers. He was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It is also re ported of him that he could make him self invisible, that he could pass through flames unharmed, could trans pose matter, make gold and exorcise demons—in fact, he laid claim to all these powers, and his name lived In the mouths of the people as a sort of demi urge through many centuries until some other miracle working personality took his place at the popular fireside. Fn usual accomplishments, great erudi tion, were attributed to the supernatu ral influence and the general disposi tion to superstitious assumption was strengthened on the one hand by dog matic affirmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Batau, with his uumerous household, and, on the other band, by Incorporat ing the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and al chemy occupied no mean part. THE ODD LITTLE GECKO. A Queer Allium! Tlint I.it en In Africa and Sonthern Europe. The gecko is an odd little creature. His name Is seldom heard, and his form Is seldom seen, for he lives In Africa and the southern countries of Europe This little gecko has so many strange ways and there is something so un canny In his appearance that the peo ple of the countries where he lives are rather afraid of him, believing his bite to be poisonous, although this Is de nied by naturalists He Is a little creature, with a broad, flat head, like a snake, and a long body, with a narrow tail, with odd shaped bits of skin arranged like scal lops along the sides of it. He has short legs and queer, catlike claws, which enable him to easily climb the old walls aud rocks upon which he lives, catching the insects of various sorts which make his dinner. He is a nocturnal animal, walking abroad at night and sleeping lu the daytime. He moves with sudden rushes and without any noise what ever. His 'HM name was given him from the queer noise he makes, which Is something iike the noise you would make to start a horse with. The maie gecko is of a gray color, so near the shade of the old walls and rocks among whiii he makes his home that tie can barely be seen 1.0 Tf.
