When the servant came with the lights, she- had sent him awsy, saying that she preferred sit ting by the firelight, and now she leaned back luxuriously in her great easy chair, preparatory to the rath er unusual indulgence of an intro spective mood. ;. ' She could not bo called introspec tive as a general thing, for she was far too busy with charities, flower missions, Tolstoi clnbs, church and society in all their fullness, to allow herself the popular fad of self anal, ysiit, and then there was Tom Len field. She had been engaged to Tom for nearly a year. ' i lie was dear good fellow and was succeeding so well in his busi ness, and yet well, she wan .vague ly conscions that she-bad not been sat deeply disappointed a an en gaged girl should be when She had received bis .note that day telling her he had been called out of town unexpectedly and might not be able to return in time to be with her that evening, as he bad planned. , She wondered if, after all, she did love him as she should. . - She sighed a little and determined to allow herself the pleasure wf feel ing rather miserable upon this sate" Tom was a dear, she thought. but if he only had a little more love and appreciation for the things she eared for I Not tbat he was not all love and appreciation for her, she admitted to herself, for she knew tbat he con sidered her the very Joveliest and cleverest girl in the World; still therw was no denying that Tom was rather slow sometimes, and so prac tical. 8he remembered how at the art exhibition tboy bad stopped be fore a picture of the impressionist school that it was the thing to ad mire. To be quite honest, she was not entirely sure, whether she real' lv understood and admired it her self, but she had beard so much talk about it from people whose judg ment she held to be entirely above criticiem that she bad at but per suaded herself tbst to ber, too, it was replete with life and meaning. At any rate it was annoying to have Tom look at ber in undisguised amazement as she praised its vir rnes and to hear him exclaim t "That daub I Yoa surely dont - admire that f" But then be was so penitent when she had explained it to him. and even if he did not understand it was pleasant to hear him say: "Ton are the cleverest girl, Kan. I often wonder how you can care for a fellow whose only pretense Co1 good taste is his love for you." She remembered bow, a few weeks ago, at a symphony concert, she) had looked into Tom's fare to see if in some degree be did not feel the Joy of the moste tbst flooded ber souL Be was food of music, in his way. but be was candid enough to confess tbst a bright, pleasing; bit of light Opera brought far more pleasurable emntiona to him than tbemost soul ful melodies of the great masters. On this partk-nlar occasion alias Itaesiter remembered tbat be bad returned ber rapt expression with one of anxiety and bad murmured tenderly: "What is it, darling f Are yoa sittrns; in s draft I" Ob, dear, it was always drafts. or sunetbing equally annoying to ber. tbe wcrdtred, if sie cccld GRAHMNJQ, THURSDAY; choose for h what he Ideal picture would be She pictured to herself type of ber own creation, finally wavering between a dreamy Burne- wones ngureana a nerooi ine t;nev. Slier Bayard type, so deaf to most women. Somehow or other Tom's vigorous personality would persist in mixing itself up with ber brain portraits until they were such a sad composite that in despair she gave up the personal appearance of her ideaL "Not that I care so much for looks," she said to herself, "but how pleasant it would be to have a lbver who understood my every tlidUght, who anticipated every wish, and who would know what I was about to say before the words were formed, whose knowledge was boundless, and whose soul should be in touch with all that was good and true and beautiful" Oh, if she could but eee such a one, she thought to herself, how she could unburden her soul to him, : Conversation would bo a rapture, and bow ennobling, bow elevating, life with such a one would bet Just at this point in her reveries Miss Rossiter (who rather prided herself upon her , calmness under the most surprising and trying circum stances) gave a sudden start and ex clamation. She rubbed her eyes and gave herself a littlo pinch to see if she could be dreaming. No, sbowss wide awake, and in the easy chair near ber sat a man, A stranger to her. Strange to say, she felt neither alarmed nor embarrassed, and after the moment of surprise at this sud den visitation she stole another look at her unexpected companion, who was gazing intently into the fire. He was rather tall , and slender. and bis regular features and dark, dreamy eyes were pleasant to look upon. She had a vague impression of fa miliarity as she watched him, and a haunting resemblanre to some one, perhaps a mere brain image, puzzled her. Just then he turned toward her and smiled slightly. I do not wonder that you like to sit here, "he said in courteous ac cents. "It is a pleasant room and gratifies one's esthetic sense. Ton love to watch the firelight glimmer through the room,' now playing up on the gilt of the picture frames, or suddenly lighting for a moment some dusky corner; but, best of all, you like to watch the warm glow leap over that marble Psyche. You have a passion for color." " "Yes," she said wonderingly, "but bow did you know t Who are you". v "There is no thought of -yours tbst I do not know," he said, "and I came here in response to your wish. I am your longed for kindred sonl-r-your realized ideaL " Mies Rossiter was silent for a mo ment and sat vainly trying to recall the theories that Herr Uundlach bad advanced before. the German club concerning; kindred souls and affinities. If she remembered right ly, be had said that each soul had a kindred soul, but that sometimes there were limitations of time and space which in another world but just here the stranger interrupted ber thoughts by saying: "Yes, that is true. But sometimes, under peculiar conditions, as to night, time snd space are as noth ing. And so it is that I am with yoa now. Ee ceased speaking. Surely it was the opportunity ofMiss Roeniter's life for unbounded soul revelations; but, odd to relate, she felt strange ly silent , A number of naturally curious questions flitted through ber brain, but she checked ber thoughts a lit tle guiltily, ss it occurred to ber tbat in all probability the stranger was cognizant of ber thoughts and might consider ber inquisitive. " "Xo," be remarked politely. "I am not permitted t'o reveal tbe laws which govern me, nor can I tell bow long I may be able to remain with youv , : Then be really did know what she wss thinking. She bad never Imagined bow very perplexing it would be to constant ly control one's thoughts to pat a check rein on them; to quote Tom's language. She turned a little nneaiaiy in her chair, and in doing- so inadvertently revealea one Of Ber daintily slipper. edfeeC" Kow, Tom bad a special weakness- for a dainty slipper, as she well knew,- and, forgetting for a moment that it wss not Tom wid sat there. she looked up in arparent uncon- Kioosness of sny little frmtnine art. tinly to meet aa amusetTsniile ia tH stranger's eyes.

"Yoa have been read ins, " be re marked. "Ah, yes, I see Ibsen, Browning, Tolstoi."- He smilea a little wearily, "You, of course, have read them all," said. Jfisa Rossiter a little shy hr; for she happened to think tbat ''boundless knowledge" was on of her wished for ideal s attribute. "It Oh, yes," he answered. "Yoa do not quite know whether yoa care for Ibsen or not, do you J Now, this was indeed true, but as the president of an Ibsen club Miss Rossiter had never before faced the fact She was a clever girl and accus tomed to being looked up to ss quite an authority on literary matters by ber own special coterie. Had not Dunning Jonesjjtbe most successful journalist in the city, told some one that Miss Rossiter was a very inter esting girl, well read and up in ev erything t But before "unbounded knowledge" how could one tslk easily or air one's little opinions I For the first time in her life the self possessed, cultivated Miss Ros siter felt shy, crude and ignorant She was really a very superior young woman, of lofty aims snd ideals; but being a very human and very charming person, she had her little limitations, all of which she would have confessed to you with refreshing candor. Still she could not help wondering for a moment if life with a person who "thoroughly understood" her would, after all, be as helpful as life with some one whose love exaggerated her virtues and blinded bim to her defects. As she said to her most intimate girl friend afterward: "It never oc curred to me before just how many of my so called virtues were called out inst because Tom thought I pos sessed them. "You see that touched mo so, the implicit confidence in me, thst I would immediately proceed to culti vate all my supposed good quali ties, so that I might keep my plaoe in Tom s regard with greater satis faction to myself." . This night referred to, however. she did not allow herself to so dis tinctly formulate the thought Unr more she turned the conver sation to books, to art and to music. But what pleasure oould there be In a conversation where tbe other par ty concerned knew before she spoke all that she would say. He even in directly apologized ones for antivi pating her. ..' "I cannot help it, yoa see," be said. "I camo in answer to your wish, burdened with the conditions it imposed upon me. "It does make conversation awk ward, I admit, but we may as well make the best of it for I am power less to leave you unless" "Unless what I" said Miss Rossi ter with more of tbe "speed the parting guest" in her tone than wss consistent with true politeness, but tbe stranger only smiled and looked once more into the fire,' A sense of injury commenced to rsnkle in Miss Rossiter's mind. "And all because of a foolish wish. that I have heard a dozen girls make, my life is to be spoiled in this way," she thought Perhaps Tom would not have loved ber so deeply bsd be really understood ber. Tbe past tense of that last thought sent a pang through ber heart Wss she si ways to be tied to this dreadful mind reader of a realized ideal I She supposed tbe only thing left her- to do was to live upon sorb a high plane tbat she need not object or fear to be as a printed page for bim to read.

Sorb a deep pity for herself filled Miss Rossiter's mind that tbe great tears gathered tq ber eyea; and one had earaued from beneath f&e lonr lathes and was slowly rolling down' ber rbeek when two strong arms suddenly enfoMed her' and s sym pathetic voice, Tom's voice,' was saying, "What in tbe world are yoa dreaming about, yoa poor dear!"

It was only a dream, and he's gone, thank goodness, but you can never know how I suffered! " , . Tom looked deeply puzzled at these seemingly random and inco herent remarks, but at ber express desire forbore questioning her. Whatever it was she had dreamed, the effect produced was that he bad had a warmer welcome than ever before during tboir engagement, and ho was satisfied. - At the next meeting of the Ger man club Miss Rossiter, Whd h few weeks before had read a stirring paper advancing the theory tbat some time on this earth there would be a golden sge, when kindred souls would live in tho full delight of realized ideals, read an equally stir ring paper combating and flatly con tradicting her own pet theories. On tbe way home from tbe club Mrs. "Denny, who prided horself on finding the hidden springs which produced action in her friends' minds, suddenly remarked : "Nan Rossiter, yoa have some reason for so suddenly changing your mind about those theories of yours." "Yes," replied Miss Rossiter, with an inscrutable smile. "I have a rea son, but that, as Kipling says, is an other story, ' and one I refuse to tell." Agnes Brown in Philadel phia Times. Teetlag aa Atlantic Vmhtm Wur Leake, When the insulated strand, or the core" of the cablo, as it ia hence forth called, passes from this opera tion, it must go to tbe testing room to determine if tbe insulation is really perfect or if a little electrici ty still can escape from the copper. It would be useless to make this test in the air, since even without an in sulator the current does not psss readily into air." It must be tested under water, in the, medium in which it is to beemplnyod. Shallow tsnks filled with water receive each section, and after a section has lain 24 boors in the water in order to come to the same temperature as the water the test is applied. If the effect which ought to be produced on bis galvanometer by passing in to the core a certain quantity of electricity does not result; the elec trician knows that there is a flaw and that tbe insulation is imperfect that is, tbat tbe electricity is es caping. .
