The dimness of the big drawing
room wn dlghtly lessened by the
glow of the light through the perfo
rations of the samovar. Evelyn Her
rick was pouring the tea.
"I bad letter from Christine this
morning," she said fib she bunded a
cup to Ilruco McKenzia.
"W'liut did the say?" be asked, ea
gerly. "Wait until these pooplo go," Bhe
murinured, "und then I will read It to
you."
It was nn hour before the crowd
molted away, and even then they were
not alone, for Philip llorrlck lounged
on the roueh In the corner. Evelyn
read the note In an undertone.
"I am coming home, Evelyn. After
all t bet-ii years of study my voloo Is a
failure. lo you remember that 1 used
to say that 1 would find my pot of
gold at the end of thu rainbow, and
Ilruco would tell me that im one ever
really found rainbow gold? All these
years I have been seeking a tiling that
did not el;t, and you have s-taej at

your kmt letter makes me feel that
you two are about to enter upon a
dearer relationship than friendship,
and I wish you happiness, I who have
missed happiness In my search for
rainbow gold."
t Ilruco and Evelyn looked at each
other. "You see, she knows," Evelyn
said nt last.
. From out of the shadows Philip Her
rick asked, "Has she lost her voice?"
"Yes," Evelyn toll him, "her beau
tiful voice; and bhe gave up every
thing for It."
She did not Fay, however, what was

They bad all loved Christine, and Bhe
had been engaged to Bruce; but feel
ing the call of her genius, she had
chosen a career rather than marriage.
And now Evelyn and Bruce were en
gaged and Christine was coming back.
Behind tho samovar Evelyn whis
pered to her lover, "I am afraid."
"Of what?" be demanded.
"That when the comes back j-ou
will find that you have not forgotten
her."
He shook bis head. "Slio did not
love me, and now I know that I did
aot love her not In the way that I
love you, Evelyn."
Their voices after that sank Into a
murmured monotone. The darkness
gathered, ami the man on tho couch,
looking through the parted curtains,
:ould see the stars. He thought of
the girl who was coming back. When
she bail gone away she had been radi
ant with hope ami beauty. She bad
been courted by a dozen admirers.
And she was coming back a failure;
;oming bark to find her lover ready to
marry another woman.
His bfart ached for her as It had
never nclied for himself. His own
love bad been hidden that fdie might
not be hurt by seeing It, but through all
the years there bad been for him no
ather woman.
And oven as hn thought of her she
same, parting the curtains softly and
standing there in the dimness before
any of them saw her.
She laughed a little as she came
toward them, and they jumped to
their feet In startled amazement.
"You didn't expect me so soon ?" she
asked, and kissed Evelyn and gave
her hands to Bruce and to Philip. Sho

paler and thinner, and the light was
gone from her eyes. She gave a little

The Beauty
No Other Flower Has Ever Been Con
sidered as Welcome or as
Fragrant.
From Chaucer to Alfred Austin the
English poets have labored untiringly
and on small wages to advertise the
beauty of the rose and Its appeal to
the tender sentiments. No other
flower has ever been considered as
"soft" aB the rose, or as "welcome,"
or even as "fragrant." Shakespeare,
propounding the question of what's
In a name, takes for his example:
That which we call a roau
liy an other namo would si.inll as swept.
Even this immortal, it would seem,
could think of nothing sweeter! Mil
ton, in "Paradise Lost," speaks of
A smile that glowed
Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.
In the opinion of Burns the rose
was "unrivaled." And when he seeks

chair that Philip bud placed In front
of the fire for her.
"How good It seems to be with you
all again," she said, "the three dear
people with whom I played as a
child."
Presently she went on, "And now,
Evelyn la going to marry Bruce, which
Is as It should be. I have come buck
to give you my blesHlng."
The word wus suld lightly, but
Philip, watching her, saw the trouble
In her face. Did alio still love Uruco?
Would this marriage make her still
more unhappy?
"When I went away," sho said
after a silence, "I thought that my
return would bo a triumphal entry.
Everyone would want to bear we
sing and now no one will care to
bear me."
Philip sank down on the fur rug In
front of ber. "Is It all gone, your
voice?" bo asked softly.
"I still have a little voice," sho said,
"but no one cares to bear It."
And again there was Hlletice. Them
was constraint, too, in the atmosphero,
for Bruce and Evelyn had grown into
each other's lives and away from
Christine's. Only In Philip's heart

tallied of manv things, "Will you rldo
back to the hotel with nie, Philip? I
know Evelyn hud a dinner engage- j
menf. and Bruce will want to say '
good by to her without us." ,
Philip insisted upon a stop at a tea- i
room, where they ordered Ices as nil
excuse but nte nothing.
They talked of Bruce and of Evelyn
and of the coming marriage. "Evelyn
choso the better part," Christine said.
"A woman is only a woman after all,
and home-keeping hearts are happi
est." He felt that she regretted tho loss
of Bruce, and tried to comfort her. "I
don't believe that you would have
been happy with him, Christine," bo
said.
She looked at him startled. "With
whom?" she demanded.
"With Bruce, of course," he Bald.
"Oh!" she laughed a little. "Did
you think why, Philip, I am glad I
gave up Bruce. If I bad loved him I
could not have given him up. If I bad
loved him no career could have taken
me away from him, and that was why
I went away to search for my pot of
gold." She stopped for n moment;
then she went on with some hesita
tion: "There was some one else that
I loved. Philip, but I was not light
enough or frivolous enough to turn
from one man to another. I felt that
I must give up Bruce and test my
selfbut tho other man never told
me, Philip, that he cared."
Something In her voice made him
look at her startled.
"Would you have given up your ca
reer for that other man?" he de
manded. "Yes," she said softly. "I would
have been glad to have used my voice
for love songs and lullabys, Philip. I
knew that I was following a phantom,
that my greatest happiness would not
come from a career. But I felt that I
must go away because this other
man was true to bis friend, and be
cause I felt that I must be very sure
of myself."
"I could not tell you. You under
stand?" he asked eagerly. "I did not
dream that you cared, nd I thought
Eruce's life was bound up In you."
"I knew it wasn't," sho said. "But
that bad to be proved, and only my
going away could prove It. And I am
more than glad that I went away,
Philip, because I have learned now
that love is the greatest thing in tho
world. I saw so many women over
there living their pitiful little lives
women eaten up by Jealousies and am
bitions and the craving for excitement,
ami I learned that nothing makes a
woman happy but love and a homo.
All tho modern theories, all the ad
vanced arguments can never make
me believe anything else."
And then ho knew that all his wait
ing was to have its reward. Ho told
ber, then, of his dreams and of his
desires. He wanted her in his life. It
seemed to them botb, as they went
out, that tho world had changed;
there was a radiance about the star
lighted evening that was a reflection
of the radiance within themselves.
As he left her at her hotel, Christine
whispered, "I have found my pot of
gold, Philip."
"Whore?" he demanded.
"At the other end of the rainbow,"
she said. "At the end that was near
est home. Philip."

A REPORT made to congress by a
commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be
lieve they have a clear title to tho
property.
This question of land titles In tho
national capital is not a new one. Two
years ago congress created a commis
sion to study It. Tho commission con
sisted of the attorney general, the sec
retary of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia. Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri, and one of the district com
missioners. Tho report reveals a hor
rible land tangle, which the courts w ill
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle Is the outcome of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for a good many years after
the capital was laid out.

EER and elk preserves may play an
high cost of beef. According to gov
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Dee;
and elk can be raised readily in near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The Increase of elk under domestica
tion is fully equal to that of cattle.
Tney are hardier and more able to
stand exposure and the elk bide is
more valuable than that of the steer.
The Virginia or wbitetail deer, com
mon in most parts of the United
States, is not so hardy as the elk, but
with proper care can be raised with
profit.
The state and the government,
through its Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in caring for the vast herds
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in
Wyoming. It is estimated that there
are 30,000 elk in tho Yellowstone park,
region, constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed, and have now

N the present census the govern-

authentic data concerning the tribal
relations of the Indians, as a decade
tience when the fourteenth census will
be taken, it probably will be found
that those Indians who are now de
pendent wards of the nation have be
come full-fledged citizens.
The Indian population of the United
States decreased in the decade from
1890 to 1900, from 273,007 to 266,760.
In 1880 the care of the Indians cost
the national government $5,206,109;
In 1909 the cost had flsen to $15;
724,162, more than three times as
much. The total attendance of In

the government or by missionary en

Tangle Is Revealed
Washington, in the early days, by a
very simple process. The territory
mt exceeding" tun miles square was
ceded to the United States govern
ment by Maryland and Virginia and
placed under the authority of throe
commissioners, appointed by the presi
dent. They or any two ef them were
required, under the direction of the
president, to survey and by proper
metes and bounds de.'ino and limit a
district of territory, and tho territory
so defined was established as a perma
nent seat of the government of the
United States. Power was given tlje
commissioners to purchase or accept
land on the eastern side of the Poto
mac, for the tisa of the United States,
and tho commissioners were further
required to provide suitable buildings
for the accommodation of congrpss,
the president and public officers of the
government of the United States. It
was to raise money to erect the pub
lic buildings that the government
planned to sell its land to private par
ties.
No sooner had the capital city been
laid out than land speculators ap
peared on tho scene, and as a result o)
their operations, it is asserted, much
land which belonged to the govern
inent illegally passed to individual
owners. i

Leaning Structure of Pisa Re

Has Been Out of Plumb for Centuries,
but Engineers Now Believe
It Is Very Likely

Pisa, Italy. The leaning tower of
Pisa Is dooa.cd. After a careful ex
amination of the celebrated structure,
royal engineers appointed to Investi
gate Its rendition report that the tow
er Is on the vergo of "ollapse. Its In
clination has recently Increased eight
Inches through settling of tho founda
tion. The engineers say that It Is
not likely thut tho tower can be
saved.
Tho ringing of tho bells In the
j tower has been discontinued under
orders from the ei.i.lnei is. who
i fear that the vibration ml;;ht further

The leaning tower was built In
1174-1:550. It Is 170 fe t high, and
has for centuries been l.'t feet out of
plumb. It Is now IS Inches more
than t hut. At tho columns of Its
arcades are higher on the leaning
side than on the other, n o-.t authori
ties believe that the si:. nt Is not ac
cidentalthat the architect built It
that way.
Whether the famous tower was
built In that way or accidentally s'ld
out of perpendicular long has been
a subject of controversy. Prof. Wil-l'-ni
H. Goodyear, curator of the

makbig measurements and surveys
which would determine the point In

"I am convinced that the obliquity

j sign of the architect," he says in nn
; Interview. "The tower stands in a
i shallow, well-shaped construction of
masonry. I made exhaustive meas
urements, particularly in the spiral
stairway, taking the distances on
i each side of every step for the entire
height of the tower. These measure
ments are of remarkable Interest as
regards sequence and gradation and
i are not compatible with accidental
: obliquity. To my mind they estab
lish beyond debate that tho tower

FAMOUS CHURCH REOPENED.
Interior Decoration of Ensenaneza
Edifice Declared to Be the Most
Beautiful In Mexico.
City of Mexico. In the reopening of
the old Ensenaneza church on Calle
do Donceles, formerly Cordobanes, one
or tne richest and most valuable geni3 f
f ari work was restored to punuc en- !
joyment.
Tills church was among the prop
r,rty confiscated by the state at the j
tjm0 0f the constitutional reform
movement and the separation of j
church from state In Mexico. It was ,
constructed about 170 years ago, out '
of funds donated by a wealthy Span- !
ish countess, and placed In charge of
the religious order that conducted the .
Ensenaneza convent, now used by the
federal courts. !
In addition to the handsomely !
carved high altar, a rich piece of work
in cedar overlaid with pure gold leaf t
nnd reaching to the top of tho nave,
are ten side altars, equally as hand- t
somely carved nnd also overlaid with
fine gold. Very little, comparatively, '
of the wall space is left uncovered by i
these massive gilded furnishings, and
this space is filled in with Immense 1
oil paintings, some of the rarest works :
of art of the kind in Mexico City, in-
eluding one or two genuine masters.
On account of the rare value of
these decorations, and their unique
character as the only church decora-1

'took steps to havo the temple restored j
ito the religious authorities, succeed-j
,ing in having tho plans for enlarging

In (lie smaller cities of Italy there

Doll House Library.
A search for a child's short story,
"The Griffin and the Minor Canon,"
in a volume all by itself revealed to a
persistent city shopper the thought
and money that aro expended on the
furnishing of dolls' houses. Boot
stores had not the story In a single
volume, but in a department store
one young woman interviewed had re
cently been transferred from the toy
department and was able to contribute
a helpful hint.
"I think," she said, "you can find it
in one of the dolls' houses downstairs."
Curiosity had by that time become
a sauce to literature, so the shopper
hurried downstairs to inspect the doll
houses. Three of the most expensive
houses contained libraries consisting
of a score of diminutive books and
each book contained a child's story
complete. One of them was "The
Griffin and tho Minor Canon."

In Evanston, Illinois, washwomen
get from $2 to $2.50 per day, and car

saves money, saves timo, saves fuel,
saves health and saves clothing.
Many women say it solves the servant
problem.
