THROUGH THE
DARK VALLEY
The darkness of night waa over the
city. Hpre and there a house wtth a
lighted window frowned sullenly on
the Delated passerby, who. with eye
trained to catch a gllmpee of her de
sired goal, hurried up the street. In
a few minute ahe reached the bouse
where the lighted plana revealed a
blark ribbon fluttering from the door.
With a gasping err the drew bark:
! then, the next instant recovering, (be
I peal of the bell echoed through the
house.
"Is It you, Elsie?" the elder womsn.

uaiuij yon lonigni; ana yet,
I thought that you would come."
"How could I wait after that tele
gram? I had Just time to catrh the
train,' she spoke In a harsh, strained
voire.
Gently taking her hand, her mother-in-law
led hor Into the library. But
the usually attractive room seemed
filled with a strange wetrdneas. To
Klsle's excited fancy, even the fire
flashed and leaped in an uncanny
manner, as the light, kindlings were
laid uponlt Elsie felt as It she were
rtlfliing. - " ;
Awed ' by the suffering which
changed the bright, youthful fane
l.- one suddenly old and care-worn.
Mrs. Merton suppressed her own grief
to answer the unasked questions of
the woman Oswald had loved so well.
"It happened at 10 o'clock." Elsie
leaned forward that no word might be
lost. "Perhaps It was a mistake to
keep from you that his life might end
suddenly at any time; but he did It to
spare you pain. He came home for a
document that he left there," pointing
to the table. "Just aa he reached the
door he fell. The doctor said that he
died Instantly."
"Don't go to him to-night," she beg
ged aa Elsie moved toward the door.
And when she would have accompan
ied her, Elsie firmly motioned her
back. ;
A solemn quietness filled the room
where the still form rested. Elsie re
moved the covering from the face,
which, noble In life, waa now filled
with an added dignity. A smothered
moan, a confused Jumble of Incoher
ent words reached the ears of the
woman who waited outside ; then the
minutes dragged Into hours and the
silence remained unbroken.
At Elsie looked at her dead hus
band, her loss waa no longer vision
ary. Before, she had been stunned.
helpless; but now ahe felt a sharp,
poignant pain. Her hot hands cover
ed the cold hand of the sleeper. Her
throbbing temple was pressed against
the cold, lifeless one. Only a few
short hours ago, and what tender
words of love would have answered,
the eineaiing epithets that Elsie ut
tered. Oh! for only one word. But
never to hear his voice again. How
could she bear the long years of sep
aration with nothing but memory to
comfort er!
"If people would get the right Idea
of death, much of the bitter heart
ache would be avoided. Death Is ad
vancement, promotion. A short sepa
ration, then endless reunion."
Did a voice speak? Or waa It mem
ory recalling the precious words with
which Oswald had once comforted
her. Aa before. It effected the sama
purpose. Elsie waa calmed, strength-
ed. Then memory yielded another
treasure.
"If I can accomplish ever so little
good In the world before 1 am called
home, I will not have lived In rain."
Elsie shuddered as she thought ol
Oswald's claaa of poor boys whom hs
was educating to become useful, hon
orable men; of his services aa choir-
leader In the church, which waa un
able to pay a salary; of all the good
he had hoped to accomplish In the
city. Should these things cease be
cause their leader waa found worthy
of promotion? Elsie bowed her head
low over her husband's, speaking each
word slowly; solemnly, Impressively;
"Oswald, I promise, with the help
of God, to carry on the work you have
left." , '
It waa is years later that the city
celebrated Its centennial. The T. M.
C. A. Building, dedicated the week be
fore, waa opened to the Inspection of
the public. In the City Hall Inspiring
addresses were beard. But the climax
of the celebration waa reached when
the young lawyer, whoee eloquence
appealed to the hearts of his audi
ence, finished his address with the
words:
"Many have spoken to-night of our
pride In our beautiful city, and In our
noble-minded, loyal-hearted citizens.
But none have apoken of the far
greater pride we feel In the woman
who, 16 years ago, vowed to perpetu
ate the memory of her dead husband.
"It la chiefly to her that we owe
thanks for the erection of the beauti
ful building you have admired to-dsy.
It Is to her that JO .boys owe an Im
measurable debt of gratitude that
she carried on the work her husband
left unfinished. Of that class of boys,
two are missionaries In the Par East;
three are mlnlaters; tour In the medi
cal profession ; six are members of
well-known business firm, and the re
maining five, Including myself, are
following the profession her husband
honored."
Taking the hand of the shrinking
woman, seated among the speakers,
he lee? her forward. But the thunder
ing applause which greeted her drown
ed the etoafng words. LILLIAN O.

A REVOLVINQ SAPL
Inoenious Device to Outwit the E
terprislng Burglsr.
Since no metal has yet beast de
vised which can resist the action of
the oxyhydrogen or the oxr acetylene
name. It became necessary to Bn4
some other meana of keeping; burglar
from aafea and strong boxes, so the
revolving sate has been evolved. It
consists of a steel box Inclosed oa all
sides and arranged to revolve on ban
bearings, and Incloeed In a spherical
compartment, built of strong masonry
and closed. In the Inclosing masonry
and in the strong-box doors are con
trived, by means of which the strong
box is accessible from outside, aa long
as it Is not revolving, which would be
the case, for InsUnce, during the
buxinexs hours of the bank In whose
Quarters the revolving safe Is set up.
At the rloxe of business both doors
are closed, an electromotor, operated
by a storage battery, is switched on
and the strong-box then revolves at a
uniform rate of speed uninterruptedly
until a predetermined period, to
which a clockwork connected with the
witching apparatus Is set, when the
moving mechanism Is automatically
switched off.
Psopls of Other Planets.
Calculations as to the else required
for human beings on the other planets
vary widely according to the Baals
of reckoning. According to those
based upon the attraction of gravity,
Jupiter should be peopled by pygmies
of 28 Inches. WolCus. on the other
hind, argued that Oollath 1 himself
would be accounted decidedly under
sltdd upon that planet. Ha worked
from the feebleness of the bud's light
there, which would demand that the
pupil of the eye should be much more
dilatable. Since the pupil stands la
constant proportion to the ball of the
eye, and that to the entire body, said
Wolnus, a little calculation ahowa
that an average Jovian must be nearly
thirteen feet seven Inches tall not
quite four Inches shorter than Og.
king of Bashan. according to the
measure of his bedstead given la Deo-
Alr In Bleeping Room.
Janet T. It la not to be wondered
at that you ire small and have a con

devoid of a window. Can you not
change your room 7 Tou can never
expect to be well and strong aa long
aa you sleep la a room without es

There were three at the little table

Suddenly the electric lights went out

An Instant later there waa the

"I thought I heard a kiss." said the
lady, "but nobody kissed me."
Then the men suddenly glared at
each other and flushed and looked
painfully sheepish.

that If you stood before me In a mlr

"And why do you desire power?"
"For the sake of the wealth It will

He pressed her blond curls back
upon his chest V
"They couldn't Improve the look

"Whose?" she asked.
"Well, yours and Violet Cochrane',

ly.
' "I don't understand you," she said,
raising her head for the second time,
and chilling hi in with a look. "We
are not at all alike."
"I mean." he replied, turning her
head for the second time, and think
ing quirky, "thnt your looks couldn't
be Improved, because tbey are per

Improved because no amount of work
