With his head whirling and brain on fire. Pick Welby stepped out of the brilliantly lighted Sunset club Into the darkness Of the deserted street, dazed and be wildered. Richard Welby turned up his collar, and then groped in his pock et for the price of a carfare. Not a penny! It was early morning when he opened the door of his modest flat. A pretty petite figure came running up the hall. "Oh, Dick! I am so glad you've come at last!" "Were you frightened, dear?" and he gave her an affectlonnte hug. "Any letter?" he aHked presently, when they were havlns supper, which he had waited for him. "No; why?" "I expected Johnson would be wait ing for the rent, that's all. He said he wouldn't wait after this week, and the worst of It Is" stretching his legs be fore the fire "I can't pay him." "As bad as that, Dick? I thought we had plenty." "So we should have, only I've been speculating Investing, and lost a heap of money. A fellow at the office put me on a good thing In gold mines which hasn't turned up trumps, and there's at least 50 gone." His wife's face grew serious, but she did not tell him the landlord had called that morning for the last time. Mabel Welby was a woman In a thousand. She loved her husband with the Intensity of affection which a worn an can and will bestow upon a man, however worthless. The next morning after Dick had left for the office with a splitting headache, the little house wife was in sore distress. At last she resolved to take a bold step. Years apfl, before she became engaged to Richard Welby, she was acquainted with a gentleman who had been exceedingly fond of her, who had proposed and been rejected, but who bad told her more in sorrow than In anger that if ever she wanted help ho would never refuse It. A few minutes found Mabel, who had left little Tiny in charge of their one servant, speeding on to the great metropolis. She reached the bu-.lding at last, and, discovering the name among SO or more on the brasB plates outside, went boldly up to the oRlce. She was ushered Into the presence of a man about 35, tall, strongly built, with keenly cut features. "Mabel!" he cried. She sat down and tried bravely to speak, but her Hps refused her. "Have you come to redeem my prom ise?" "Yes; I want your help; oh, George!" forgetting the years that had elapsed since they last met "you'll help us, won't you?" The man looked up. "Mabel, let us be frank with each ther. You are married, perhaps?" "Yes." "Ah!" He leaned back In his chair and nursed his chin musingly. "Well, one can't have all his desires In this world, and now" speaking In a more business like tone "the nature of the assistance you require?" "To borrow a few dollars. My hus band has lost money In speculation gold mines, or something of that sort, and we need them badly Just now." After more conversation, the man handed her two crisp banknotes, and she rose to go. "By tho way, I don't know your name," he remarked. "Welby Mrs. Richard Welby," she replied. The gentleman gave a start, but said nothing. When Dick returned home that evening his wife did not tell him of the adventure of the morning, and as he had received no communication from the landlord he concluded that the gen tleman had decided to wait. But Dick Welby was gloomy and morose. His wife, putting it down to his monetary losses, pretended not to notice any difference in him. But Bhe did not know that the sum he bad lost bad never been his own at all, but his employer's. Ruin stared him in the face at every turn. How was he to pay Orayeon, the gambler wno had won his money, and replace that he had stolen from the Arm? The next morning, when he reached the office, later than usual, worn out with want of sleep, he found to his dis may the accountants had already com menced work. Bre many hours bad passed he teamed their names. They were Smith ft Grayson, Could there be BJiy connection with one of them and toe gambler of the club? With that thought In his head Dick made tracks for their offices; he would set his mind at rest on that point at one. Mr. Grayson was In. Yes, he was a dunJ Individual a njn of business In the daytime and a gambloY by night. He looked npon seeing Welby, and Dick plunged Into the mntter at once, "You're auditing transom & Bran som's Brrount. and I've born appro priating money from the firm in oil about a thousand dollars. Mr. Gray son," and his voice trembled, "you hold the ruin of a mnn In your hands. What are you going to do?" The man looked at the other calmly. "What If I do what you want me to do prevent your exposure?" "I'll never touch a enrd osrain." It was the gambler who laughed. "Do you think that's possible? I've said that to myself scores of times, but the fever's got too tlnht a hold." "But I've a wlfo and child I swear It. for their Bakes!" "Why didn't you think of that be fore?" He went to a desk, and from a drawer produced a pack of cards. "Sit down!" he cried. "You win, and the shortage is made good and your debt canceled, but on conditions only." He looked straight into his com panion's face. "And those conditions are that you never play a game of chance again, and take care of your wife." He dealt out the cards, and, the other not replying, tne two commenced a battle to be fought under such ter rible circumstances and with such mo mentous Issues. Dick Welby's face became ghastly pale and his hands trembled as he turned up the cards mechanically. But something seemed to tell him that Grayson, the inveter ate gambler, was once playing reck lessly and carelessly. For a Tew minutes It seemed an hour, there was a deadly silence, and then Dick yose excitedly to his feet. "Thank heaven!" he had won. George Grayson gathered up tho cards and carefully locked them in his desk again. He had crossed the room and shook his companion's hond. "Welby, I can't help thinking I've been assisting your ruin. You must look after your wife. You don't know the treasure you've got." Dick glanced at the speaker In as tonishment. "My wife! Do you know her?" "Yes. Were I In your place I should bo a different man. Listen! Welby, you've usurped a position I once hoped to obtain. I reckoned on Mabel becoming my bride. But It wasn't to bo. She sought me here yesterday as an old friend to assist her In some temporary difficulty. And now you know. Good-hy, Dick, and henven bless you!" stretching out his hand again. Dick remained silent for a moment, unable to grasp the situation at first, and then replied: "You say you would be a different mnn had you been In my place. Come home with me tonight; we both owe you so much let us thank you." The man hesitated, and then said: "Well, yes. I promise." And Dick Welby letc the office with a light heart. Ho is a wealthy man now, and has kept his promise never to gamble again; and Grayson himself, since that memorable afternoon in his of fice, never touched another card. New York News. SHERIFF AGGRIEVED. Postmistress of Red Dog Handles Armament Flippantly. The sheriff of Rod Dog, whoo has been asking the postoffiee department at Washington to "tone down some" the local postmistress for enforcing her Idea of etiquotte with a pistol, has written again urgently. lie says: There ain't no Inspector showed up In these parts yet, and we'd like to know If one is coming. When I wrote you last week things wasn't exactly calm and peaceful, and since then the situation has sure become acute and un satisfactory. This lady postmaster here found out in some way we ain't yet decided how that the mayor and nic and the other leading citizens of thlh town was some vexed and annoyed with her, and since then the postoffiee ain't done any business to speak of. If it was a man dealing out stamps and handing over our mail you cam rest easy we wouldn't have to bother you. But we ain't making war on women, Including this one, which can handle her armament quite casual and flip pant, so we want you to do something. This town respectfully protests to you against the way In which this ac credited postmistress is urging her views on politeness; this town respect fully protests that it ain't got time to leave its hat outside the door when get ting Its mall this own respectfully pro tests that its duely elected mayor la im portant in the yes of its citizens and that there ain't no call for blm to act humble when he's getting his mail. This mayor ain't felt right since he skipped out of the postoffiee last week, some undignified and frinky, owing to the fact be forgot to take off bis hat and bow, and he's going to resign if something ain t done. Please attend to it, for we are getting snipplsb and fretful in our tempers and are liable to do something we might regret. Tell the inspector he'd better come to see me first. She heard he's coming and there ain't no use of bis being rash and careless. New York Tribune. Scotland has an area of 19,062,482 acres, of which 4,894,406 acres are un der cultivation.

It Is 8uperior to Anything of the Kind That Has Yet Been Produced Will Prove Most Useful for Building Purposes. Have you ever heard of ttrallte Trobably not, for It Is a new Invention. Yet It Is well worthy of your notice, since It is superior to anything dt the kind that has yet been produced. It Is the invention of a Russian artillery of ficer, and chemist, named Imschenet' zky, and its claim to distinction lies In the fact that it Is absolutely fire proof. Urallte Is composed of asbestos fibre with a proper proportion of silicate, bi carbonate of soda and chalk, and It Is supplied In various finishes and colors, according to the purpose for which It Is Intended. In a soft form a sheet of urallte Is like an asbestos board; when haird It resembles finely sawn stone and has a metallic ring. Besides being a non-conductor of heat and elec tricity. It Is practically waterproof (and may be made entirely so by paint), and Is not affected either by atmos pheric Influences or by the acids con tained in smoke in large towns, which rapidly destroy galvanized Iron. Moreover, it ran be cut by the usual carpenters' or wood workers' tools; It can be veneered to form paneling for walls or partitions; It can be painted, grained, polished and glued together like wood; It does not spilt when a nail Is driven through it; It is not af fected when exposed to moisture or great changes of temperature, and It can be given any deBired color either during the process of manufacture or afterward. Mr. Oliver J. D. Hughes, United States consul general at Cobnrg, thinks highly of it as a fireproof build ing material. Several tests, he says, have been made of it, and in each case the result has been most satisfactory. In order to carry out the tests, a small brick built house, an iron framed hut, lined and covered with urallte, and a duplicate platform were erected, and each was then fitted with pyrometers for tho purpose of recording the tem peratures electrically and was filled with highly Inflammable material. To the house were fixed four strong doors, of oak, steel and urallte, and as soon as a fire was lighted inside they were shut. The highest temperature reached was 2350 degrees Fahrenheit, and after the test it was found that In each case the doors had resisted the fire. In the hut was placed a deed box made of urallte and wood, and in the box were placed some papers, a book, a crucible containing paraffin wax and another holding a piece of easily fust bla metal. After being subjected to an external heat of 2030 degrees Fahrenheit, the papers and the book were not affected in the slightest degree, and though the wood nearest the fire was charred right through the urallte was sound and the paraffin wax bad only melted slightly. After the Are had been burning three-quarters of an hour, those pres ent wore able to place their hands on any part of tho door which was cov ered lnsldo and outside with urallte, though by that time all tho woodwork had been burned off another door, which had urallte Tor Its panels only. Other remarkable tests are also de scribed by Consul General Hughes In n official report which he has Just ent to the government on the subject "In the well equipped laboratory," ho says, quoting the words of an ex pert, "one of the staff took a strip of urallte about one foot In length and one and a half inches wide, and alter nately stirred up a bowl of boiling wat er and a freezing mixture. In the lat ter about an ounce of mercury was suspended In a test tube, and this rapidly froze into a bright bullet in the bottom of the tube. Some pieces of India rubber tubing placed In the mixture were also broken with the ham mer like cost iron. "The strip of urallte, on the other hand, showed no sign of warping, lam ination or disintegration; in fact, It would have needed an expert to have told subsequently which end of It had been subjected to such severe changes of temperature. "That urallte can also withstand a great strain the two following tests show: In the first a cube one inch square was subjected to hydraulic pres sure, and 18.8 tons were registered be fore it gave way. In the second, a strip nine and a quarter inches long, one and a half Inches broad and seven sixty-fourths of an inch thick, which was placed between supports and grad ually subjected toon Increasing weight, did not give way until a weight of 15 pounds had been applied to It. That urallte will prove most useful for building purposes Is the opinion of Consul General Hughes. "Owing to its extreme non-conductivity," he says, "lruts, railway carriages, barracks, hospitals and other buildings con structed with It, while absolutely fire and water proof, are warm in winter and cool in summer. A room entirely covered with urallte three thirty-sec onds of an inch thick might have its contents burned, it Is claimed, without any danger of the Ore spreading. New York Herald. Ho Said No More.

It Is generally believed that the Japs are brave soldiers, but few know who la the bravest and greatest of them all. The Washington of Japan Is Gen eral! Viscount Katsnra, who became prime minister two years ago. He be gan his fighting career In 1867, dur ing the civil war which resulted In the overthrow of the old order of things In the Land of the Rising Sun and the adoption of western civilization. Though only a lieutenant then, he be came famous for extraordinary cour age. He was always In the thickest of the fight, always the first to volun teer to lead a forlorn hope. After the war his government sent Katsura to Germany to study military matters. On his return he took a lead ing part In reorganizing the Japanese soldiery on the European model, and was practically creator of the modern Japanese army. In 1876 wheu a colonel, he was again sent to Germany, In company of the late General Ka wakaiml, to Inspect the German mili tary system. The two officers were at that time regarded as th most prom ising men In the entire Japanese army. Katsura became a major general on his return home and was rice minister of the war office under Oyama. In 1891 he was made lieutenant general. In the Chino-Japanese war he led his army through Cores to Manchuria, and later, under General Norzu, won many victories. His name became a terror throughout the Invaded coun try. In 1898 he Was appointed war minister, which office he retained until the downfall of tho Yamagata cabinet in 1900. He became premier In 1901. Katsura was born in 1849 In the province of Nagato, generally called Choshlu, In the western part of the main Island of Japan. This province has given birth to many Illustrious statesmen and generals, among them Marquis Ito, Field Marshal Yamagata, and Count Inouye. The viscount be lieves the Japanese are the best sol diers In the world, and says he would not fear the result if he bad to lead them against any whits troops. One thing much in favor of the Japs is that they are so small the enemy can't find them. Nothing In Japan Is too good for Katsura. He Is the Idol of the people. All kinds of honors have been showered on him. At 65 be is ready to take the field. What is to be the future or Japan? The Greeks and Romans built splen did temples of stone. All architecture was on a grand end Imposing scale, de signed to last as long as the world. Today the Greeks are a nation of harm less fruit venders and sapless artisans. Tho Roman empire sustained by mac aroni. Japan boasts no antiquities be yond coins and Idols. Her temples and palaces are constructed of pre cious woods. There were no chairs or tables In the kingdom until In recent years. The people sat upon straw mats and ate out of small wooden salv ers. What can be the future of a na tion built upon straw?

Tho Tamest Birds. Naturalists commissioned by the United States government have dis covered on tho distant Island of Lay son, In the Pacific, some new birds and many novel texts In regard to known species. The visiting scientists were perhaps the first human beings whom the myriads of birds that crowd this UBy speck of land bad ever seen. In consequence, birds representing spe cies which In other lands wing hurried ly away at the sight of man, came up to the naturalists, looked curiously Into their faces, perched on their writing tables, wondorlngly Inspected tho tri pods and other accessories of the cam eras and pe.rmii.ted themselves to be stroked.

WA.en Will Coal Glvs Out. It appears that there Is coal In the United kingdom to a dwth of 4.000 feet, sufficient, at about the present rate of output, to suffice for 871 years. but that this period will be consider ably extended, string that there It every probability that mining can be carried on to a depth of 7.W0 feet, though at this depth there will not be anything like the area of coal that there la at the former limit. And it further seems probable to expect that this period of supply may be still fur thpr extended by the more economical use of fuel, duo to the establishment of central electrical supply stations and the utilization of Mend and other Iras-producing proceFses, and of gas' driven engines, as well as other means of obtaining a higher percentage of the heat value of the fuel.
