OIS had two aunts and a
lover. The aunts were
L i} downright tyrants; the
lover—well, I was the
= lover.
Lois was rich. This fact
caused all the trouble. Because Lois
was rich the aunts regarded me with
undisguised distrust; because Lois was
rich they kept her eternally at home
like a caged mouse; because Lois was
rich, in facet, they forbade my marrying
her.
Because I was a fool, perhaps, I
swore that I would marry Lois in spite
of the aunts, her fortune, and all the
personified objections that ever walked
on earth. Because I was a fool, cer-
tainly. I made this plain to the aunts.
Things went from bad to worse, At
first I was allowed to see Lois any
time I chose. But after a while the
periods when I was permitted to find
her “at home” were curtaiied mightily.
After a time, indeed, I was allowed
to see lier only on certain days, be-
tween certain hours, for all the world
as if she were in prison.
I blustered, I swore vengeance, I
talked United States law at those two
old jailer aunts till my knowledge and
powers of invention were entirely ex-
hausted. Jut still they smiled se-
renely upon me, and intimated that I
might call for a few minutes the week
after next.
I don’t know what they
about me. Anyhow, it did not in the
least alter her love. ut it was em-
barrassing sometimes when she would
turn her great, trusting brown eyes
upon me and ask if I had ever killed
a man or blown up a house with dyna-
mite. Because I had not.
“I wish,” she said to me one day,
“that I could hear your big, hearty
voice all the time. It would make me
braver.”
Plainly, if I could not be by her side
I must find an alternative. There was
the telephone, to be sure, but there
told Lois
were also the aunts with their opposi-
tion. There was—what on earth was
there? Oh, yes
I sent to a dealer in phonographs.
“I should like a talk,” I said.
He led me into his private office.
“Well?”
“Into a phonograph,” 1 explained,
“for a reproduction of my speceh you
know.”
So I talked. It cost me more than
the long-distance telephone, but I paid
willingly. I bought a phonograph and
took lessons on making records. Then
I presented the machine to Lois.
“If you wind it up and put in a rec-
ord,” I told her, “it will talk for me.”
The machine swore eternal love for
Lois in my behalf and Lois smiled.
The next time I called I bought
twelve records. Half of them were
lastingly impressed with remarks of
mine, and half of them were blank. I
explained to Lois the process of revers-
ing the machine in order to produce a
permanent record of her speeches.
“Now, I have numbered these six
records,” I explained. “Put them on
the cylinder of the phonograph in the
proper order. After No. 1 has talked
take one of the six blank records and
reply to mine. In this manner we will
keep up a close imitation of a conver-
sation.”
The aunts blandly informed me that
I was not to be allowed to call for a
week or more. Nevertheless, not all
the aunts of the universe could keep
me from marching up and down the
walk in front of the house.
So the next day I sauntered past—
that is, almost past. At the further
corner of the yard I came to an abrupt
halt, for the curtains of the house
were down and no smoke curled from
the chimney. It was deserted!
There was no time for trifling.
There might be a landiord or an agent
who owned a key; no one was on the
spot. Within five minutes I had
broken into the house.
The rooms down stairs avere bare.
Searcely noticing them, I swept up the
stairs to the front room, from whose
window I Lad often seen the face of
Lois while I was walking in front
of the house. It, too, was deserted.
As I searched the room with eager
haste my eyes spied a single object.
Under the edge of the front window.
almost hidden by the curtain, and ap-
parently placed there to prop up the
window, was a phonographic record.
I burst into the store of my friend.
the dealer in phonographs, with the
impetuosity of a runaway train. Be-
fore he could restrain me I had placed:
the record on a small phonograph and
started the wheels of the machine.

“I'll take it then,”
riedly.
Before he was through insisting that
a single person could find no use for a
room with two beds in it I had thrown
a bill on the counter and wos half-way
upstairs.
In a drawer of the dresser I found
the record for which I was searching.
Without a second’s delay I slipped it
on the phonograph I carried. The voice
of Lois presently broke the breathless
silence.
“Aunt Rebecca thinks I am crazy,”
it said. “Perhaps I am, but it is not
because I talk to my phonograph all
the time, but because they are taking
me away from you. Somehow, Frank,
I feel that you will follow us. I do
not know where we go from here, but
you may be able to learn from the
ticket agent. We leave at 8.30 to-mor-
row (Wednesday) morning.”
That was all. But it was the voice
of Lois, and it cheered me and filled
me with fresh determination. I shut
my lips firmly and swore that I would
follow the two zunts and Lois through
every country on earth rather than
lose the girl.
“Think I can remember everybody
that buys tickets?’ growled the agent
at the station when I accosted him for
information. I cursed him for a fool.
It was evident that the aunts were
using Lois’ money for bribes.
It seemed that I was off the trail at
the very start. But the porter of the
parlor car of the 830 train the next
morning set me right.

I unrclled the phonographic record.
With the sight of it came the awful
recollection that I had forgotten my
pronograph.
The situation was appalling. Here 1
was within sound of Lois’ voice, but to
all intents as deaf to it as a man with-
out ears. True, I could buy another
phonograph when the train reached the
city, but the chances were a hundred
fo one that the aunts would bundle
Lois off at some little junction close at
hand.
Again the porter came to my aid.
He had been walking past me several
times as I sat thinking. and was evi-
dently deeply curious as to the con-
tents of the package he had given me.
Now he stopped by my seat.
“Dat part of a phon'raph.
asked, looking at the record.
“Yes,” I explained; “it represents the
vocal organs.”
He grinned. “Am yo de owner of
the phon-raph in de ‘spress car?’
I felt the hot blood rush to my head.
Salvation was at my back.
It required some judicious tipping
and lordly airs to gain access to ‘the
baggage car and sccure possession of

plish wonders, while an ordinary be-
ing—well, I wound the machine and
waited for the voice of my sweet-
hLieart.
“This is the most momentous day of
my whole life,” came the clear tones
of Lois. “It is my birthday, and I am
no longer a girl. To-day I am of age,
free to marry whom I please. If you
find me, Frank, I will become your
wife at once. I hope the promise will
spur you on. We stop to-night at
Rugby.”
The voice ended abruptly, and I fan-
cied the aunts must have disturbed the
2irl as she was talking into the phono-
graph,
“How far from. here is

oath and signaled to go ahead. The
train had barely slackened speed.
It was time for prompt and vigorous
action. Grasping the bell cord once
more I pulled it sharply, and then, be-
fore the official with the ticket punch
could object. I pinioned him to a seat.
This time the train eame to a full step.
When I dropped off the rear plat
form and started back up the track I
dare say I left a car full of astonished
people. I know I left a blaspheming
conductor and the ill wishes of a crew
whose train had been delayed two
precious minutes. But what does a
man care for hades when he is chasing

to ihe noiel clerk. Lois had evidently
been given the key of the room to de-
liver when they went, and had taken
the opporiunity of presenting also the
phonographie record, with insiructions
to turn it over to me.
Whengl had purchased a new phono-
graph, I found that Lois’ message con-
tained but one short sentence:
“We are going to Leighton,”
me.
It was the last day of June when my
train reached Leighton, Rain was fall-
ing in perfect torrents, and the Mis-
souri River already looked ugly and
swollen Housed in a comfortable
hotel, with four reproductions of Lois’
cheering talks, I watched the rain pour
down day by day. The weather was
at one with my mood, for fry as 1
might, I could find no new record from
the girl.
Bit by bit the river rose. - Shanties
and boathouses on the banks of the
Missouri were caught in the mad swirl
and swept down stream. But still the
water crept higher and higher.
And then one night the railroad
bridge trembled and finally gave way,
cutting off all connection with the
country beyond.
The morning of the Fourth of July
dawned clear. Tor the first time I
strolled about the town, at a loss as to
my further actions. The postoffice
caught .my eye, and half jokingly, I
asked for mail. I was given a phoneo-
graphic record!
“Dear Frank,” said Lois’ voice, when
I had fitted the racord on the cylinder
of my machine, “I think there is a
chance to overtake us. We go from
here to Berryville, just across the river,
where Aunt Sarah says we shall stay
for several days. I mail this because
Aunt Rebecca has become suspicious
of the phonograph. I saw her talking
with the hotel clerk, and I am sure she
was warning him not to give anything
to you should you be following us. I
somehow believe you will receive this
record. Come quickly.”
Within a mile or two of Lois and
for four days making no effort to reach
her! TI cursed my stupidity: in not ask-
ing for mail before. I sprang up,
ready to renew my search. Then 1
dropped back to my seat.
Between Lois and me rolled the Mis-
souri River, unbridged and swollen in
a mighty flood. I could never cross.
I telegraphed north, south; up the
river, down the river. Everywhere it
was the same. Bridges were gone and
no boat dared venture up the river.
At the moment when I was about to
give up hope a thought, of a surety
heaven born, came to my rescue.
A brisk wind blew straight across
the river. Why not hire the aeronaut
who was to make a balloon ascension
at the Fourth of July celebration to
allow me to accompany him? Without
question the wind would carry us safe-
ly across the river.
The aeronaut was stubbornly mer-
cenary. Dollar by dollar I raised my
bid, till his great black eyes grew
narrow in greedy anticipation. At last
we agreed on a price.
It was not until we had shot up into
the air with the speed of a bullet that
he explained that it would be impossi-
ble to land at Berryville; it ‘was too
close to the river.
So we sailed over it. I do not know
whether the man was new at the busi-
ness or whether the balloon acted
badly, but we drifted on and on with
the wind, never once tilting earthward,
till T was frantic. Just at sunset we
landed, with a terrible thump, in a
field something more than fifty miles
from Berryville. I should be forced
to go back to that town to pick up the
thread of the trail.
Cold, dirty, discouraged, I trudged
along by the side of my companion to-
ward a town near at hand. We came
to it after a scramble over fields and
through woods, and at once made for
the hotel. There, sitting in front of
the house, deliciously lonely, was Lois!
Later we bearded the lions.
“Young man.” said Aunt Rebecea,
iooking severely at me over her spec-
tacles, ‘you are prevaricating.”
“Yes, indeed,” chimed in Aunt Sarah,
“J.ois has not been out of our sight
twenty minutes. You are prevaricat-
ing.”
“I am telling you the truth,” I
she told
de-
clared, with my arm thrown protect-
ingly about Lois.
“The proof!” demanded Aunt Re-
becca.
“The proof!” echoed Aunt Sarah.
“It is here,” 1 proclaimed -dram:atie-
ally.
1 started the wheels of the phono-
graph and placed on the cylinder the
sixth record I had given to Lois. From
the horn, slowly and solemnly, came
the voice of the dear old min.ster who
had married us:
“I pronounce you husband and wife.”

Hunger in the Polar Regions.
Hunger is one of. the trials that ex-
plorers of the polar regions have to
encounter very often. Capt. Scott, in
his recent volume, has this description
of an unpleasant experience in the
farthest south: “My companions get
very bad food dreams: in fact, these
have become the regular breakfast
conversation. It appears to Le a sort of
nightmare; they are either sitting at a
well-spread table with their arms tied,
or they grasp at a dish and it slips
out of their hands, or they are in the
act of lifting a dainty morsel to the
mouth when they fall over a precipice.”

LOC. RAFTING,
Cheap and Expeditions Method of Getting
Product to Market.
One of the most remarkable and in-
teresting methods of transporting a
natural product to market is log rafi-
ing. The first attempts (made seven
or eight years ago) to convey logs in
rafts from the forests of Washington
and Oregon fo San Francisco ‘ended
disastrously, for the rafts, through
faulty construction, fell apart and
went to pieces soon after reachicg the
waters of the open ocean. Marin- un-
derwriters lost so heavily by the de-
struction of the rafts that for several
years they refused to accept them as
risks. The log raft of the present day,
kewever, is so scientifically built that
policies are ~gain being issued, its ar-
rival at the port of destination being
regarded as almost certain.
A log raft is now as large as the
greatest battleship, and, being built of
green lumber, is enormously heavy.
Its weight is estimated at about 20,000
tons, It is built in a specially devised
cradle, on ways. The cradle is con-
structed of heavy timbers, with strong
knee braces, in two lengthwise sec-
tions, held together by heavy locks and
clamps. The piles of which the raft
is made cre from eighty to 110 feet
long, and are put in place one by one
Ry a derrick, in such a manner as to
break joint as much as possible, the
abutting ends of one line of piles being
placed opposite to the middle of the
adjacent linc. When the rart is fin-
ished it is wrapped round with one
and omne-half-inch iron chains at inter-
als of twelve feet. fhe raft is cigar-
shaped, and from bow to stern, right
down its centre, run two two-inch
chains, one of which holds the bulk-
heads at each end in place, while the
other is fastened to the hawser of the
tug. Chains running laterally from
the towing cable are connected with
the encircling cables. Thus, the strong-
er ihe pull exerted in toving the more
firmly the raft is held together.
When the raft is completed it and
its cradle are launched. On reaching
deep water the locks of the cradle are
opened and its two longitudinal sec-
tions float apart. The raft is taken in
tow by one or more powerful tugs and,
if fair weather prevails, makes the voy-
age from Stella, Washington, on the
Columbia River (where most of the
rafts are built) in ten or twelve days.
Stella is about 750 miles from San
Francisco. Rafts built on Puget
Sound have to be towed a much longer
distance, about 1200 miles. Zach raft
contains from 10,000 to 15,000 piles,
making about 1,000,000 feet of piling,
or from 7.000,000 to 8,000,000 linear
feet of lumber. A raft is about 625
feet long, sixty feet wide in the middle,
more than«thirty feet deep and draws
about tweniy feet of water,
Log rafting has met with much con-
demnation from seafaring men and
others. As a raft of the largest size
contains enough lumber to supply a
score or more coasting schooners with
argoes, it deprives the sailing vessel
of freight and its master and crew of
employment. If a raft breaks away
from the tugs that are towing it on a
dark and stormy night it is likely to
be sent to the bottom with all on board.
If the raft goes to pieces, thousands
of piles, any one of which may sink a
steamer or sailing ship, are scattered
over the ocean, and for many months
thereafter constitute a menace to nav-
igation. But the danger to coasting
craft and the loss of employment by
their crews are not likely to cause the
lumber dealer to abandon so cheap
and expeditious a method of getfing
his product to market.—Arthur Injlers.

AWFUL SUF FFERING
from Dreadful Pains From Wound on
Foot=System All Run Downe—Mi-
raculous Cure by Cuticura.-;
“Words cannot speak highly enough for
the Cuticura Remedies. 1 am now sev«
enty-two years of age. My system had
been all run down. My blood was so bad
that blood poisoning had set in. I had
several doctors attending me, so finally X
went to the hospital, where I was laid
up for two months. My foot and ankld
were almost beyond recognition. Dark
blood flowed out of wounds in many places
and I was so disheartened that I thought
surely my last chance was slowly leaving
me. As the foot did not improve you can
readily imagine how 1 felt. I was simply
disgusted and tired of life. I stood this
pain, which was dreadful, for six months,
and during this time 1 was not able to
wear a shoe and not able to work. Some
one spoke to me about Cuticura. The con-
gequences were I bought a set of tke Cu-
ticura Remedies of one of my friends, who
was a druggist, and ihe vraise that I gave
after the second applicatior is beyond de-
scription; it seemed a miracle, for the Cue
ticura Remedies took eflect immediately,
I washed the foo* with the Cuticura Soap
before applying the Ointment, and I took
the Resolvent at the same time. After
two weeks’ treatment my foot was healed
completely. People who had seen my foot
during my illness and who have seen it
since the cure can hardly belie-e tir
own eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburgh,
N. X. Aug. A, 1905.”

Million Bushels of Wheat Wasted.
“During 1905,” writes George R.
Metcalfe, M. E., in the March Te=h-
nical World Magazine, ‘‘the railroads
of the United States ordered new loco-
motives to the number of 6,300, io-
gether with 3,300 ‘passenger cars and
340,000 freight cars. These last Gg-
ures give a good idea of the relative
importance of passenger and freight
trafic to a large railroad. The rail
mills started the new year with ordars
for 2,500,000 tons on their books. !
“In spite of these great orders, and
In spite of the best efforts of the rail-
road managers, pile after pile of
thousands of bushels of corn has been
heaped up on the ground in lowa,
Kansas and Nebraska, for want of
storage room or transportation facili-
ties; while in North Dakota alone
over a million bushels of wheat has
rotted on the ground for want of
freight cars to move jt.:?

pepcia, nearly three years ago, so
severe that I had to quit work entirely.
I put myself on a strict regimen of
Grape-Nuts food. with plenty of out-
exercise aud in a few months
found my stomach so far restored that
the process of digestion guve me pleas-
“ure instead of distress.
“It also built up my strength so that
reswine iy business,
which is onerous, as I not only edit my
own paper, but also do a great deal of
‘outside’ writing.
“l find that the Grape-Nuts diet en-
ables me to write with greater vigor
than ever before, and witout the feei-
ing of brain-fag with which I used to
be troubled. As to bddily vigor ~I can
and do walk wiles every day without
fatigue—a few squares used to weury
me before 1 began to ive on Grape
