To the responding servant she said briefly: "I want to npeak to your master and then she turned towards the win dow and waited while the man went through the many corridors that lay between the private suite of his mas ter and mistress and the billiard room, where all the men of the party were making a jolly end to a rainy day. A telegram had just come for Hughes, summoning him to town by the midnight express. Chamberlaine, who had arrived late and had to share his friend's apartment, was so over joyed at the prospect of a whole bed to himself that he offered to drive him across country to the train. He regretted the offer directly he had made it, but Hughes had exhibited so much pleasure in his acceptance that it seemed impossible to withdraw. While they were discussing the matter the man came in with Mrs. Harlon's message. There wasn't a fellow pres ent who would not have been less sur prised if their hostess had sent for himself—Mrs. Harlon being "that kind of woman." Harlon flushed with a mixture of importance and pleasure and quitted the room at once. After he was gone all the men but Hughes laughed Hughes didn't laugh because he was scribbling an order to send to the stables. Then Chamberlaine became sober all of a sudden. "I don't believe'I'll "Tell Me All." go, after all," he said, "it's raining harder than ever." Hughes .walked across-to the bell rope. "Don't go back on a friend, Billy," he naid as he rang, "1 need you to night." HHrlon, as he hurried along the hall*, wondered what his wife wanted. He wasn't the sort of husband whose presence is frequently demanded. Then he opened the door of the boudoir and saw her sitting there alone by the fire. "You—you sent for me." She turned and looked towards the voice, then rose up and stood there, resting her hand on the chairback. Her gown of velvet hung in great, golden folds around her, and the fire light outlined the splendor of her hair and throat and form. She was a strik ingly beautiful woman—the sort of woman who wisely chooses to marry a man both moral and dense. She stood there now, measuring him and measur ing herself, and then, at last, ahe spoke— "I sent for you because I wanted to know how much courage and how much greatness of character you possess."

"Anything you want, Ada," he said, "you know you can have." Aa he spoke he could hear that his word* did not sound quite up to the occasion, although it must be admitted that as a general rule none could be better suited to alleviate any female woes, be their cause great or small. Mrs. Harlon leveled her big, glorious eyes upon him and smiled. "Titauk you," she said. "I have mad* up my mind that the only thing to do Is to confess the whole to you." Harlon looked frightened. "My—my dear," he stammered—and then fcis legs trembled so that he had to sit down. Mi». Harlon came towards him and knelt at his feet, leaning her crossed wrists upon his knees "It's Mr. Chamberlaine!" she an nounced without any further prepara tion, and then she buried her face In her hands and began to sob violently. Harlon recoiled. He was a good man, hut he did read the papers enoufh to understand his apparent situation. "Ada," he said, and stopped just short of "my dear," and shook violent ly With a nervous chill. "I haven't done anything wrong," said the weeping wife, continuing to hide her face. "I never did think much of Cham berlaine," said Harlon, trying to re cover his equanimity and failing ut terly. "You must be very brave," she whis pered, "I'll defend you with my life,"N he answ#lred, and took out his handker chief to wipe his forehead—"tell me all." "I knew him before I was married," she went on. "I used to write to him. He has all my letters, and none of them are dated." She began to cry very hard indeed. "Do you know what he said to-day?—that he would bring them all to me to-night—if—if"— "The villain!" said Harlon* with energy. "He has been threatening me for a year, and I have been almost £rasy—" She paused and Jiftej! her beautiful tear-stained face-up*tHiis. T"Ah, myvliuj^ang, 'afcp fotf magnani mous enough io forgive me, to stay here iand, meet, him^and then, force) him to surrender the letters?" Harlon gasped. Thememory ofj Chamberlaihe rose1 up''before "him" like' that of some evil genius. "Oh Ada," to- said, "c&n't I write him a note?" Mrs. Harlon started to her feet and crossed the room to the mantel. "He will be here' in ten minutes," she cried, hastily. "See! Here is a pistol. He will be unarmed and to tally unsuspicious. You must take him by surprise, and then overcome him. I know you can do it." She1 lifted the pistol and showed it to him with a smile. "My hero!" she murmured, and left the room. The door had not closed behind bee when Harlon precipitated himself up on the pistol, seized it gingerly, car ried it to the window, and threw thei loads out on the damp grass below. "There might have been an awful accident," he said, with pale lips. Then' he put the pistol back on the mantel, turned out the light, and sat. down to spend the worst minutes he had ever known. He remembered Chamber laine's attempt to get out of driving Hughes to the train. Forgotten his project, eh!—the villain! The husband tried to grit his teeth, but they persisted in chattering in stead then he heard a stealthy tread in the hall, and the cold beads of per spiration started out all over him. He pressed the button with his shaking hand and the room was suddenly il lumined. In the midst of the glare Chamber laine stood bewildered. He had on a mackintosh and carried an umbrella. The expression on his face so nearly approached fright that Harlon felt sud denly courageous and advanced boldly. "I know all," he said .impressively— "all." Chamberlaine was close to the door. He said: "There's some mistake," and turned to go. Then all the pent-up fury which the, inoffensivo husband of a flirtatious wife may accumulate during eight or ten years of married life suddenly boiled up in the veins of Harlon and led him to spring upon his guest. But the latter was slippery to catch on ac count of the mackintosh, and as he jumped backward he handled his um brella so neatly and dexterously that his host paused in his onslaught and backed towards the mantel. The next minute the revolver-barrels gleamed on the scene. Chamberlaine's whole attitude al tered at once. "You're mad!" he said, coolly, and with incredible speed and dexterity he rush**} upon the other man, knocked! the weapon out of his hand, threw him to the ground, and pinned him there,, helpless. "Now kind?y explain?" he said, as he looked qiletly down on his pant ing ghost. "Are you out of your mind? —or what is £t?" "You villain!" gurgled Harlon, "your come into my house by invitation and then try to barter my wife's honor against her girlhood's folly." "Go on," said Chamberlaine, "I want to know exactly what I am supposed to be committing to-night." "I want those letters. She has told me the wholo story." "Whose leUers?" "Her letters." "SSe never wrote me a letter in her life." "What!" "I say she never wrote me a letter in h*?r life." "What did you threaten her with, thenT" "I never threatened her. What should I threaten your wife for?" "Vihat did you come here for, then?" "U ughes told me to wait here for him. I was to have driven him to the train." As he sptfke Chamberlaine loosed, his fcrip and rose to his feet. Harlan rose *00. "Where is Hughes now?" he asked. "I suppose he's gone. He had to make the faat express. He wouldn't have waited for me when I didn't com*—he isn't that kind, you know." Th« two mfen looked at each other, and the look grew into a stare, and the Stare bred a sort of understand ing. "Hughes seat you here," said Har lon, tfcry slowly, "and my wife sent me." "I rccupy tKie room, with Hughes" said Chamberlaine. "An® I—" Haron stopped.

DAY QUARRYMAN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CLOSE THEM. LIME DUST CAUSE OF AILMENT Caused Inflammation Which Gradual ly Made Muscles of Eyelids Pow erless—Literally Is "Man with the Open Eyes." St. Louis.—Sleeping and walking, for 20 years, the eyes of Joseph An derson of this city have never closed. When he lies down at night the lids do not gradually relax, as in the case of the normal man. For him there are no curtains which softly fall over the "windows of the soul" to shut out the distractions of the* busy world around him. Until the end of his days this strange condition must continue, City hospital physicians say, because an effort* to restore the natural move ment of the eyelids would forever de stroy his sight. Anderson is 60 years old. For 20 years and up to two months ago he was a quarry workman. The lime dust affected his eyes and caused an inflammation to which he paid no at tention at first. Though the lids of his eyes were inflammed, he thought that this would be only temporary. Not until several weeks after the inflammation set in did he notice that it was becoming more and more diffi cult for him to close his eyes. One night, he says, he lay down to sleep and he found that his muscular effort to lower his eyelids were with out result. He lay there staring at the ceiling. And ever since then he has been staring day and night. Literally he has been "the man with the open eyes." "It caused me some trouble at first," he said at the City hospital recently. He Sleeps Peacefully with Both Eyes Wide Open. "I couldn't go to slQep. I would lie there looking at the ceiling. But gradually I became used to it, and I sleep as well as any man—with my eyes open. "For 18 years it didn't bother me. I did my work as usual, and I was healthy and slept at least eight hours every night. Two years ago I began to have headaches, which extended from the top of my forehead to my eyelids. "I thought I had rheumatism of the eyes, and when I couldn't stand the pain any longer I decided to come to the hospital." The physicians who are studying Anderson's unusual ailment say that it is not rheumatism. Their explanation is that the neglected irritation has caused the eyelids to grow fast to the eyeballs. The junction is now so intimate that if an effort to cut the eyelids free were to be made, the surgical knife would at the same time pucture the cornea or delicate outer covering of the eye and cause hopeless blind ness. Despite this opinion of the doctors, Anderson still believes that rheuma tism is the cause of his trouble, and that he can be cured. If his contention is right, the case of Anderson presents a striking parallel' to that of Wilkie Collins, the English novelist. Collins, afflicted with rheu matism of the eyes, lay on his face shielding his eyes with his arm, and dictated one of his greatest novels 'The Moonstone." The disease left Collins after a pe riod of eight months, and for the re mainder of his active career as a writer his eyes were normal. Big Lobster from Maine Coast. There is on exhibition in a window in Saco the largest lobster- that has been landed in those parts for years if not ever. The lobster measures 30 inches in total length and his body proper is 20 inches long. Before boil ing he weighed nine and one-fourth pounds, and boiled weighs seven pounds, The lobster was caught by John E. Lewis, Jr., off Straton's Island in Sa co bay, in one of his traps recently The big fellow was the only occupant of the trap, and none of the lobsters in the other traps near-by was of greater than average size.—Kennebec Journal. Man Fights 8ix Eagles. Norfolk, Va.—J. L. Durnell, a lum ber dealer of this city, while looking over some timber land in ^Princess Anne county, fought six eagles for his life. Failing into a hole, he was mo mentarily helpless. The great birds of prey swooped down on him with their talons iand beaks, scratching his flesh and tearing his clothing. Regain* ing his feet he fought them, big stick in hknd, for a distance of 300 yards-lw fore gaining shelter He was then al most helpless. •f+S 3: In order to preserve its roundness and softness the throat must have some air and freedom of movement. Undoubtedly an aid to freshness is occasionally to change the style of collar worn and for a day to use one that is not extreme. This relaxes and tones muscles that may have become cramped. SKIRTS WIDER AT THE HEM Are a Distinct Improvement on th# Tight Garment That Ex tremists Favored. The absurdly narrow skirt that one could hardly step- in and that was only worn by the extremists, fashionable or otherwise, has had its day. All the new skirts have width at the hem. Even the street ones are three and four yards wide, and the house ones are from six to seven yards at the hem. They are not lined or stiffened or worn over petticoats, but they have a graceful fullness. They are not held back by elastics, and give no appear ance of the grotesque. They are quite ample, easy to walk in and more graceful on every figure than the extra tight ones. There are all sorts of rumors that the new skirt at the Paris races will be ten yards wide, but if one listened to all rumors these days no one would buy a gown with any feeling of se curity. To Keep Rugs Flat. Girls who havj».a habit of shufflin. their feet, thereby incurring frequen scoldings for kicking up rugs, will fine life pleasanter if they cut triangles oi medium weight cardboard, and se^ them on the under side of rugs at each corner.

An Ingenious woman could easily design one of these. She could pat tern it over one of the new leather handbags and use the frame of a dis carded bag for a foundation. These handbags are easily laun dered and are exceedingly good looking. Even the Veils Have Fringe.

The fad of wearing extremely high collars will have a hurtful effect upon the flesh of the throat unlesB special care is given to prevent it, because through stoppage of circulation, a con dition brought about by high collars, a permanent dark mark comes, and some remedy to obviate the trouble must be employed. It is not expected that a girl will select a neck dressing that is a misfit. But she may take the happy medium of one that la not too close to her throat. For example, If 13 is the usual size, it is the part of wisdom to take 13% when the height of the linen is excessive. It is pre cisely the same theory that causes one to wear longer boots when the toes are excessively pointed. ^i-u-u-u'jvLaru ALTERING AN EVENING GOWN. Scheme Very Much In Fashion and One That Is Quite Easy to Carry Out. If the girl who indulged in a scanty,, slimly cut sheath gown last winter, wants to change it a bit to give more of the classic suggestion, she can do this by using two veils as drapery. The idea is very much in fashion and is easy to carry out. The veils themselves are often used by high priced dressmakers instead of buying chiffon cloth and hemming it. The veila have a' selvage which makes! theip quite effective. One of the attractive ways oi draping them is to catch one at each shoulder, drawing it up under thej arm and fastening on top with a paste buckle. The edges lower down may be lightly caught together over the arm a little above the elbow. Thla gives filmy but straight drapery from shoulder to hem which puts one in th4 picture this season. Again, an extra long veil is drooped across the back and caught at the back of each shoulder with a buckle and the ends left to hang straight. SUITABLE IN MANY MATERIALS It Cashmere, serge or any cloth, ai long as it is the same as used for skirt, would make up well for the over bodice. Three tucks are made on each shoulder both back and front they are stitched down a few Inches. A-mate rial strap stitched at each edge and trimmed with embroidered spots edges the opening and is also taken down the front over the fastenings. The oversleeve is trimmed in the same way. Materials required: 1% yards 46 inches wide, 2 buttons. Linen and Canvas for Book Covers. Attractive adjuncts to -the living room are magazine covers made from heavy linens and craftsman's canvas. For the postcard album? the latter fab rlc is preferred. Both materials can be had in a variety of colors, and an applique of cretonne is a popular form of decoration. Book covers in a cool gray linen,' adorned with a spray of purple or chids cut from cretonne, are pretty and so are those in terra cotta crafts man's canvas, displaying a swastika cross cut from cretonne in dull ori ental colorings.

The Jl&psevelt trust busters shook their heads dubiously the deeper they dug into Mr. Wickersham'a record. It was found that he had done effective work for James J. Hill in some old railroad suits in the middle west 12 years ago, and that he had been the master mind in a big railroad merged negotiated by the Mexican govern ment. More recently Mr. Wickersham had been associated with New York corporations and was general counsel for the Interborough Rapid Transit Company up to a few months ago. It seemed as though the new attor ney general was a straight-out cor poration lawyer and. when August Bel mont's publicity agent chaperoned him On his first trip to Washington the reformers and radicals were some what discouraged.

"I am just trying to. get acquainted with the machinery of my new office," said the attorney general when asked about his policy. "It is too early to be talking about what we expect to do. We don.'t propose to be dragooned into bringing suits. We will bear in mind that indictments must be tried in court and decided by the evidence and the law. The facts in a specific case and'not public clamor will del-' tei'mine our course." District attorneys have informed their friends that they were forced into obtaining indipUnents, in land fraiid citees and otftfei* scandals result ing from muck-raking, in many cases against their wishes and with no idea that the indictments would hold wa ter.
