turned hark like a child- The men
had gathered around a low stone arch
in the furnace-room, and were looking
d"t\n a short flight of steps into n sort
of vault, evidently under the pave
ment. A faint light came from a small
grating above, and there was a cloae,
musty smell In the air.
"1 tell you It must have been last
night.” Dallas was saying. "Wilson
and 1 wer* nrre before we went to
bed. and Til swear that hole was not
there then. "
"It was not there tills morning, air,”
Khrnrrlgsn Insisted "It has been made
during the day.”
"And it could not have been done
this afternoon.” Mr. Hnrhlaon said
quietly. "1 was fuuslng with the tele
phone wire down here. 1 would have
heard the noise."
Something in his voice made me
look at him. and certainly hts expres
sion was unusual. He'was watching
us all Intently while Dallas pointed
out to me the cause of th* excite
ment. From the main floor of the
furnace room, a flight of stone steps
surmounted by an arch led Into the
coal cellar, t>eneath the rtreet. The
coal cellar was of brick, with a ce
ment floor, and In the left wall there
gaped an opening about three feet
by three, leading Into a cavernous
void, perfectly black—evidently a sim
ilar vault belonging to the next house.
The whole place was ghostly, full
of shadows, shivery with possibilities.
It waa Mr. Harblaon Anally who took
Jim's candle and crawled through the
aperture. We waited In dead silence,
listening to his feet .crunching over
the coal beyond, watching the faint
yellow light that came through the
ragged opening In the wall. Then he
earns hack and called through to us.
"Place la locked, over here," he
said. "Heavy oak door at the head
of the steps. Whoever made that
opening has done a prodigious amount
of labor for nothing."
The weapon ,a crowbar lay on the
ground beside the bricks, and he pick
ed It up and balanced it on his hand.
Dallas' florid face was almost comical
in his bewilderment; as for Jimmy—
he slammed a piece of slag at the
furnace and walked awuy. At the
door he turned around.
•'Why don't you accuse me of It?"
he asked bitterly. "Maybe you could
find a lump of coal In my pockets
If you searched me."
He stalked up the stairs then and
left us. Dallas and 1 went up to
gether, but we did not talk. There
seemed to be nothing to say. Not un
til 1 had closed and locked the door
of my room did I venture to look at
smething that I carried In the palm
of my hand. It waa a watch, not run
ning—a gentleman s flat gold watch,
and It had been hanging by Its fob
to a nail In the bricks beside the
aperture.
In the back of the watch were'
the Initials T. H. H. and the picture
of a girl, cut from a newspaper.
It was my picture.

Dinner waited that night while ev
erybody went to the coal cellar and
stared at the hole in the wall, and
watched while Max took a tracing of
It and of some footprints In the coal
gust on the other side. *
I did not go. 1 went Into the li
brary with the guilty watch in a
fold of my gown, and found Mr. Har
blaon there, staring through the Feb
ruary gloom at the blank wall of the
next house, and quite unconscious of

over and closed the shutters before

not move.
around?" I demanded at last.
"Oh!” he said wheeling. "Are you
here?” .
There wun t any reply ro mat, so
I took the watch and placed It on
the library table between ua. The
effect was all that I had hoped. He
j stared at It for a Instant and then at i
i me. and with his hand outstretched i
for It. stopped.
I '/Where did you find It?" he asked, j
I couldn't understand hls expression. J
He looked embarrassed, but not at all
afraid.
"1 think you know, Mr. Harblson,"
i 1 retorted.
"1 wish I did. You opened It?”
” Y es."
We stood looking at each other !
across the table. It was hls glance '
that wavered.
"About the picture—-of you,” he '
said at last. You see, down there
, In South America, a fellow hasn't
much to do in the evening, and a—a
chum of mine and I—we were aw- |
fully down on what we t ailed the plu- j
tocrata, the—-the leisure classes. And '
i when that picture of yours came in
the paper, we had—we had an argu
ment. He said—” He stopped.
I "What did he say?”
| "Well, he said It was the picture
, of an empty-faced society girl.”
I "Oh!" X exclaimed.
”1—I maintained there were possl- !
bllltles In the face.” He put both I
' hands on the table, and, bending for
ward. looked down at me. "Well, I
was a fool, 1 admit. I said your eyes
Were kind and candid, In spite of that
haughty mouth. You see, I said I
was a fool.”
j "I think you are exceedingly rude,” j
i I managed finally. “If you want to
I know where I found your watch It
1 was down In the coal cellar. And
if you admit you are an Idiot, I am
not. 1—1 know all about llella's brace- 1
let—and the board on the roof, and— j
oh, if you would only leave—Anne’s 1
necklace—on the coal, or somewhere |
—and get away—"
My voice got beyond me then, and
1 dropped Into r. chair and covered
i my face. I could feel him staring at
the back of my head.
"Well, I’ll be—" something or oth
er, he said finally, and then he turn
ed on hls heel and went out. By the
time I got my eyes dry (yes, 1 was
erylng; 1 always do when I am an
gry) 1 heard Jim coming down-stairs,
and 1 tucked the watch out of sight.
Would any one have foreseen the
trouble that watch would make!
Jim was sulky. He dropped Into a
1 chair and stretched out hls legs, look- ,
Ing gloomily at nothing. Then he
got up and amhled Into hts den, clos
ing the door behind him without ftav.
Ing spoken a word, It was more
than human nature could stand.
I When I went Into the den he was
stretched on the davenport with hts
face burled In the cushions. He look
ed absolutely wilted, and every line
of him was drooping.
"Go on out, Kit," he said. In a
I smothered voice. "Be a good girl
and don't follow me around."
j "You are shameless!” I gasped.
"Follow you! When you are hung
around my neck like a—like a—” (
Millstone was what I wanted to say,
but I couldn't think of It.
He turned over and looked up from
hls cushions like an Ill-treated and
suffering cherub.
"I'm done for, Kit,” he groaned.
"Bella went up to the studio after
we left, *hd Investigated that cor
ner.”
"What did she And? The neck,

wretched to notice this.
"No, that picture of you that I did
last winter. She Is crasy—she says
she Is going upstairs and sit In Taka
hlro's room and take smallpox and
die."
"Fiddlesticks!” I said rudely, and
somebody hammered on the door and
opened It.
"Fardon me for disturbing you,"
Bella said. In her best dear-me-I'm

"Good Lord!” Jim exclaimed. "I

Matrimony as a Matter of Money
nr MAUI SOY r. PRTKHS,
There are the days when match
making mammas are ouslly engaged
in their self-appointed tark of ex
ploiting their daughters so as to at
tract the attention of rich men who ■
frequent the summer resorts at the '
seaside or in the mountains.
These are the mothers. perhaps,
with whom "fine family and wealth*"
are potentialities too strong to be re
sisted when the qualifications of a
suitor are to be considered.
Nowadays, when It is announced
that a young woman is engaged to be
married, the first question asked Is.
"Is she doing well?" Of course, that
is equivalent to, "Has he money?" 1
And it Is thus that happiness Is bar-j
tered away for worldly display and
the very citadel of civilisation and
virtue surrendered to its foes and all
its treasure laid waste.
“To make a mere business of mar
riage.
To call It a living, voeatlon, career.
Is but to pervert, degrade and dis
parage
A contract of all most sacred and
-dear."

Will find it out shortly. Many a wo- 1
man feigns to love a man who has
money whom she would positively
hale if he were poor. The love ot j
money is a miserly pretense of aiTec- ,
tlon that lands to discontent, distrust,
disgust and divorce as soon as the vic
tim finds It out.
Many a rich man's wife has not
the privileges or the money or the
good times her servants have.
Men who carry a load of care—how
can they carry any burden of love?
Hotter have a fortune in your'hus
band than ona with your husband.
What avails it how high a man's
family be if he is low himself? What
respect can a woman have for a man
who Is itch ta money, but poor in all
thoao elements that make up a man?

She who marries a man for hia
money will find that ahe has made a
terrible bargain; that her life will be
<oie of elided misery and her old age
will be like a crag on the bleak side
of a desert mountain, where cold
moonbeams sometimes glitter, but no
sunshine ever falls, no flowers bloom,
no birds sing, but wild storms howl
and hoarse thunders roar, and
through the sweeping storm shall be
heard God's stem voice: "Your riches

SATURDAY—I certainly have been’
having the moat mixed up kind of a
time. Mother told me (she wanted me
j to go to town and do a little shopping
i and spend the night with Aunt Har
riet, who had come to the city for
two days and wanted me to take her ]
to my dressmaker, and a few other
, things like that. She was going to !
stay at the Margaret Wlffington, a ho- i
tel where they never allow any men.
The whole thing sounded very dull to
me, especially the hotel.
i If aunt was very wealthy, the way
she would have been In a hook, and
| I was her heiress or something like
that, or she was In the habit of band
ing me Raquln gowns she had only
worn once, like an aunt of Oertrude
Sompson's (and they're simply wast
ed on Gertrude), why, I would Joy
fully do anything tn the companion
line for her. Rut she's Just well
enough off never to hand out a thing
but lectures. However, I traveled up
to town to meet her at the Wltflng
ton. Tom and Godfrey happened to
both have engagements In the city
that w«ek, so 1 told them to call me
up there. 1 supposed they allowed
men to talk through the telephone.
After I’d waited an hour for her I
got a message written on a piece of
paper saying she couldn't stay In town
that night and I was to go back that
afternoon and she'd write and ex
plain I was delighted and decided
j to stay myself. Of course It was per

fectlv proper, and yet It seemed quite
devilish to stay alone at a hotel. I
felt like a regular adventuress, In a
way. I engaged a room. Such a nice
old man at the desk, he beamed on
me like a father. I find they allow
men on the first floor, but never above
that. They let porters come upstairs,
“I Waited An Hour for Her.”
though I saw quite a food looking
one wheeling trunks on my lloor. Tom
phoned about half-past four and said
he'd take me for a run In hts new
car.
He looked awfully foolish as I came
down the hall. He actually had met
! two men he knew, and I distinctly
heard him say, apologetically, he
had come to see an aunt who was
staying there. I came along Just
then and 1 hope X looked the part.
One of them smiled In such an attrac
tive wav. It was fun at dinner. They
allow men In the restaurant. All the
waitresses are quite mlddloaged and
sort of hopeless looking; I guess they
\ don't make much on tips. Godfrey
; called up after dinner. Here Is where
the tragedy happened. I thought It
would be more tactful not to mention
to Tom that I Intended seeing Godfrey
when 1 was In town, and I didn’t
think It any use to tell Godfrey 1
i was going to see Tom. It seemed
i nicer and kinder to let each one
i think they were the only one. Hut
I whenever I try to be kind it seem*
' to turn out wrong. A lovely bunch of
! vtolets came that evening, and u Tom
; always used to send them to me I
! naturally thought he’d sent these.
It’s a mean trick when a man
doesn’t enclose a card.
When the telephone rang I would
have sworn it was Tom's voice that
I said hello, and I said: "Tom, darling
(Tom would have known that didn't
moan anything when I said it), your
violets are perfectly lovely.’’ I’ve got
some white hairs that I know came
right away when I heard Godfrey's
i voice say In a suppressed sort of
itone: “I’m afraid you’ve made a jnl«
1 take.” Well, It was most annoying. I
1 talked an awful lot. In the best way I
could, which was pretty convincing,
considering I had no time to think
up anything. He might have sym
pathized with me. D1 dhe think I
wanted to display such lamentable
stupidity? But men are so utterly
selfish. The only really nice man I’ve
seen In town Is the porter that wheels
I the trunks along the upstairs halls of
; the Margaret W. He is so good look
i lng. 1 should think all the old ladles
i would be quite thrilled at the thought
i of such an attractive looking man
; being upstairs.

again.

EMPRESS SI LING CHI
FIRST TO SPIN SILK
^Native Chroniclers Declare This Event Happened alxnrt 4,550
Years Ago After Queen of Yellow Empire Had Seen Cocoon
„ Winding Thread.
It Is related by Chinese chroniclers ]
that about 4,(SO years ago the Em- |
press Si Lins Chi was once walking j
In sthe palace grounds when her at- ■
tention was attracted by a small, ugly
green worm feeding upon the leaves ;
of a mulberry tree. Day after day
she returned to watch It as It grew j
to maturity, when It Anally spun a
silken shroud around Its shrivelling
body. At the Suggestion of the em- ;
peror. Hoang Tl, she took the cocoon,
disentangled the filament and wove j
therefrom the first silk fabric.
If the story be true that was the
beginning of |he world's great silk j
producing and manufacturing Indus- 1
trlea For more than three thous
and years China Jealously guarded Its
monopoly of the precious fabric, and
great caravans Journeyed from the
cities of the Celestial Empire to 8y- :
ria and other parts of Asia laden with
woven silks and the r$V filaments, j
The Persians became the Intermedi- i
erics In thla trade between China and
Europe, supplying the Oreeks and Ro
mans until the middle of the sixth
century A. D.
How two Nestorlan monks Journyed
from China with a quantity of silk
worm eggs concealed In their pil
grims’ ctafTs Is an oft told tale. The
eggs were delivered to the Emperor
Justinian, who for a time monopolised .
the silk Industry of the Occident, but'
after hfs death. In (•( A. D., the
production and manufacture of silk
became widely disseminated.
The silkworm Is known to ento- j
mologlsts as the larva of the Bombyx
morl. The eggs are very small, about j
one hundred weighing one grain.
They are hatched by artificial means
and the caterpillars reared In rooms
where they may have an abundance
of light and air, with little variation
of temperance. They are voracious
feeders and are kept liberally sup
plied with freshly gathered leaves of
the mulberry tree. They grow rap
idly and as a rule melt about the ;
sixth, tenth, eleventh and twenty-thlm |
days after hatching. In from thirty- !
five to forty days, having Increased ;
In weight about ten thousand times ’
and grown to a length of about three j
inches, they climb upon twigs and j
small branches that have been sup
plied for them and begin spinning
their cocoons. *
In this process the caterpillar ejects !
from convoluted glands aiong the
sides of the body two lines of semi- j
fluid filament. The two filaments are ;
laid side by side and are held to- *
gether as one as they harden. In ;
from three to five days the cocoon
Is complete and the Industrious cater- :
pillar, having lost fully half Its weight \
and shrunken to half Its former stse.
Is metamorphosed Into a chrysalis. j
housed In an oviform lodge from an i
Inch to an Inch and a half In length
and from half an Inch to an Inch In
diameter.
Left to the* processes of nature. In
due time the chrysalis will break the
filaments of the cocoon and come out j
into the open a full-fledged but un- |
attractive moth, which many cen- :
furies of domestication have almost j
deprived of the powt* of flight. The I
mother lays from 100 to 400 eggs and
then dies. Its mission of reproduction I
-accomplished.
But In breaking the fibres to per- :
mlt Its emergence the moth sadly i
depreciates the value of the cocoon, j
So only enough to serve as seed ar«
permitted to complete the life cycle,
and all others are placed In steam
heaters to kill the chrysalides.
The cocoon consists of an exterior
portion of straggling filaments (l>y
moans of which It was fastened to
the twlgg or branches that supported
It), and a closely cemented sheath
around the body of the chrysalis. The
threads of this sheath are so tightly
■glued together that they cannot be
unwound until after It has been thor
oughly soaked In water. The exte
rior portion Is removed, being known
as floss or waste, and Is spun with
the material of b roken or defective
cocoons by methods similar to those
used with cotton and other fllbrboe
materials. The filaments of the per*
feet c ocoons are caught up on a fine
brush, four, five orsix of them paaeed
through an eyelet to a reel and wound
upon this in a continuous thread from
eOO to 1,000 yards In length. From
these reels the silk is taken In skeins,
constituting In this form' the raw silk
of commerce.
The first step In the manufacture Of
silk Is known as throwing. The skeins
are Inclosed In light cotton bags and
soaked for several hours In warm,
soapy water. Then they are dried
In a hydro-extractor, and stretched
upon "swift" or skeleton reels adjust
ed to hold the skeins tightly. Then
the filaments are wound upon bob
bins and cleaned by being passed from
one bobbin to another through tha
cleaner, which consists of two paral
lel plates so adjusted that there Is
Just room for the thread to pass
through. Single nllk (from which
pongees are woven) Is not double or
twisted, but Is ready for the scourer
and dyer Juat as It comes from the
cleaning process. Tram silk is mads
by twisting two or more singles to
gether and then doubling and twist
ing again. It Is used for the woof
thread In weaving. Organslne Is
made by the union of two or more
single threads twisted separately In
the same direction, and then doubled
and twisted In the opposite direc
tion. It Is used chiefly for wrap
threads.
The thrown silk Is then scoured to
remove some of the natural glue, so
that it will have greater lustre and
take the dyes better. Shaking, gloss
ing and lustretng are processes for
which special machinery has been
devised, designed to develop the lus
tre of the silk. Then U I* ready for
the dyer.
If properly handled silk is the
strongest and most durable of all tax*
: tile materials, but the various pro
cesses of manufacture, removing the
natural glue, cause it to lose so much
i of Its weight that unscrupulous dyers
and manufacturers resort to "load
ing.” dipping the thrown silk Into a
solution of bichloride of tin. It makes
the threads weigh more. and. of
course, sells for more money, but It
destroys the durability of the fabric.
Stretching the filaments to their
elastic limit, so that a given weight
will weave a greater number of yards
and steaming to give the threads an
I unnatural lustre are other processes
I that prove profitable to manufactur
i era. not only mfw cir.f cmf cmfwww
j ers, but costly to consumers, and that
cause many people to regard allk as
1 an uncertain and treacherous fabric,
with an Inexplicable tendency to split,
j crack or fat1 Into holee. even though
| packed away In drawers or hanging

There are In the United States a
