The night before the Starr-Snell nuptials Miss Snell did what all other ;irls would have done, religiously burned all those fantastic, extravagant letters the Boy had written her. It was rather peculiar that she found the red-stained letter which had been the Boy's death-warrant and his last let ter to her from Honolulu lying to gether in her bureau drawer, apart from all the others, heaped carelessly in a compartment of her escritoire. She did not remember putting them away among her laces and her bon bonnieres, but there vliey were, so she took them over to the fire a little gingerly and tossed them after their fellows into the dancing flames. Then she sat down and watched them curl and crinkle in the eager, r Lave t: 1- - ' t y have a sample be! tie i1, also a book tclK:;; .") ;:-Iloot, and how to I'jier and ctyaisSrSi Any student of mental philosophy will tell you that every impression re- lapping flame, till the draught caught ceived by our brain cells at any time the feathery black aslies and carried and unde r all circumstances, no mat- them up the sooty chimney flue.

I It was all because of just such a : little mistake, on the part of Mrs. ; Starr, that foolish persons who postu- late, "Marriage is a failure," used to ; point triumphantly at Starr 'and his ' wife. All on account of a queer little ; brain trick, Mrs. Starr blighted hf r husband's life and hr own. Still, whett they harnessed up to- e-eih.'-rr for better or for worse, no couple could be more devotedly in love I with one another than were they. This forms a rather sad but, I think, i profitable little story, i Now that the principals concerned ! are dead and gone, the physician who attended Mrs. Starr says I am at lib j erty to tell the tale. He laughs, as j he is entitled to, at the construction I I put upon the facts but inconsistently I evades sitting in judgment on the case. I xUen remember Mrs. Starr as the beautiful Miss Snell, for her face in ! those days was a face that no man J could quite forget. She was the most j utterly ruthless coquette of her day. The family means, in her generation, had fallen far below what was neces I ary to keep up the prestige of the 1 family name. i Her papa and her mamma never i ceased to lament that fact, and Miss Snell was dutifully impressed in her early girlhood that her beauty must win back the departed family glories by social achievements. How well it did everybody knows. I By a mere coincidence, among the ; persons chained by her smiles was a Boy who did not have much of anv- i j thing but a naval commission, some j brass buttons, and a sword. I Thir. business with the Boy was j qtme unnecessary. Miss snell had nothing to gain by winning the Boy's love; still, she even went out of her way to do it. The Boy avoided her because he knew she was unobtain able for him, and because the first time he locked into her eyes he knew, witii but half a chance, he would love her very badly. Miss Snell knew it, too, but if the Boy had not avoided her, she would not have done what she did. She was engaged to another man r.t the time it was her third and she deliberately broke that engage ment that she might be free to deal with the Boy. This was most effec tually accomplished. He was a queer mixture of poet and sailor, the Boy was, and Miss Snell v-Ms a little shocked at the tempest s-io invoked within him. There was .".; ething in his glorious avowal cf 'o that made former protestations n: ! into insignificance. It carried her v py for the moment, and she gave l int her lips and she gave him her promise, knowing very well in her heart of hearts it was the old story cf love on ere side and submission on the other. But marriage on his pay was impossible, so the Boy went off io his i;hip, and Miss Snell back to her t '.:; -r-i-hs in the social whirl of the I -p v I jffias and Caskets "aria!

'. er remarkable. They were of a i new breed and species. The writer I seemed to have an uncanny divination of everything the woman he loved did or thought. In spite of that, and most pitiful of all. an immeasurable love breathed forth from every line. No man should write the things he wrote to any living woman. At last a letter came from Honolulu that was so touch ing in its pathos, so abject in its devo tion, and still so marvelously prophet ic in its conception of Miss Snell's iife, that she felt called upon to write him some truiiis. This was just about the time she met, Starr, and fell a victim herself to the passion she had trifled with so often. When the Boy received her letter he went down to his quarters in the wardroom, and blew his brains all over the nice white paint that covered the cruiser's armored walls. Out of decency's sake the surgeon called it a pistol-clea-iiing accident, but he was brutal enough to send back a blood splashed letter that he found all twisted up in tbe Boy's hand, to the The wedding on the following noon was an event of social importance and it came off with great eclat. But the crowds, and the music, and the flowers, and even the fix charming Watteau shepherdesses with ribboned crooks, who were the bridesmaids, do not concern us here. In fact, my friend, Mrs. Starr's physician, tells me that all I have written so far is rather incidental and almost super fluous. He quite refuses to acknowl edge the connection between the past events of Mr-?. Starr's life and what happened later. Our premises are so radically divergent that with him it could not be otherwise. But let it be plain there is no question at all about what is to follow. Hardly had the couple returned from their wedding journey, when Starr called on the doctor and told him "he was worried about the health of his wife. Mrs. Starr," he said, "was in an unaccountably nervous and hysterical condition, and was growing more wan and hollow-eyed as each day went by." The man of medicine went and ,oo''""' at I::v, found that this was true, prescribed the usual remedies and continued to visit her occasional ly; but he did not learn the cause of her trouble till some time had ex pired; and, when he did learn, it was from Mrs. Starr's own lips that part of it came, Starr himself not only corroborating in general all she said. but adding a great deal more. The first evening of their honey, moon, when unpacking her things, Mrs. Starr was rather unnerved to find, all covered up among the dainty feminine belongings in the tray of her trunk, the two identical love let ters that she had watched burn to a crisp and fly up the black chimney flue. Unexplainable a their presence was, she could only put it down to a mistaken impression on her part, and she made certain to destroy them this time beyond question or doubt. Into a gas jet she hastily thrust them, and a second time she watched the flame creep over the unwelcome letters, turning them into two charred black curls which fell in broken flakes on the floor, and there were ground into impalpable dust by two angry little heels. That this was not witnessed by her husband is almost unnecessary to add. When Mrs. Starr found the very same letters in the very same place a day or so after, a thrill of alarm chilled her through and through. With sickening dread she tore them into a hundred fragments, and threw them fearfully out of her window into the hurly-burly of a winter storm. Although she became positively ill from her scare at the supernatural re appearance of the letters, she did not tell her husband about the matter, but, womanlike, tried to pray herself into belief that it was only a mis take, after all a mere common, or dinary, every-day mistake. And this was wrong. In a short time the couple returned to the city, and Mrs. Starr's condition so alarmed her husband that he called on her physician. She kept the cause of her trouble entirely secret, but how often she found and destroyed those two mysterious letters during this time is not known. Physically she rapidly grew worse, though her husband showered on her a wealth of loving care and attention. Her peace of mind and her happiness were fast becoming utterly destroyed. One night Starr awoke, and in the half light he saw the white-robed figure of his wife on her knees before the open drawer of her bureau. She seemed to be holding something in her hands, which she was regarding with a look of terror. "What is wrong, sweetheart? Does anything trouble you?" asked Starr, soothingly. At the sound of her husband's voice the woman carried her hands to her face and rose. Then she tottered over towards him repeating mechanically in a low whisper of despair: "Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" When she reached her couch she sank back off the pillows choking with dry, tearless sobs. Starr rose and turned on the light, and looked to see what had alarmed his wife; in vain, for there was noth ing there. All that a loving man could do to compose and quiet her he did. In the lull that followed she told him something not all of the strange reincarnations of those let ters, just enough to startle him and arouse his curiosity immensely; but he was wise enough at the time not to ask to see them or ask anything else about them. Nevertheless he deter mined to watch very carefully their next manifestation and use caustic remedies for their disposal. Mrs. Starr had found that attempts to destroy those letters were utterly useless, for they always came back, and, besides, hating and loathing them as she did, they began to exert over her mind a marvelous fascination. Though she quivered when she saw the muddy red blots on her letter, she craved to look into it, and she was no more content with a mere glance at its Honolulu postmark and at the neat blue letter head of the other So she commenced to read them linger ingly. feeling all the while that with every word she read she was driving another nail into the coffin of her hap piness. This harrowing desire to contem plate those letters came to her most often at night, and then she would rise from her husband's side, steal over to her bureau drawer, and mum ble away in the dim yellow light the things the Boy wrote to her before she killed him. Of course her husband saw her do ing this one night, and he went over to her with lovirig words and caresses, which, strange to say, she recoiled from as if they had been blows. Perhaps that was why Starr fool ishly asked her why she was "stand ing there muttering those nonsensical things." In answer she held her hands up in front of his face just exactly as you would hold a letter for a per son to read, and Starr saw there was absolutely nothing in her hands; but lie did not say so to her. He asked her quietly to read the letter to him, and thereby wrought his own and her undoing. Mrs. Starr read the letters to him both of them, from the date to superscription in a low, metallic monotone for all the world as if the real writing were in her hands. The letter from the Boy came first, and before two lines were read Starr knew wh?t only a few people did know that his wife had given her pledge and her kisses to the Boy long before she gave them to himself. The Boy said he "went down on his knees in his cabin at night and prayed to his God to do to him the worst if that would only make the happiness of the woman he loved!" Oh, that was not all he said. He wrote things that it is better not to mention or to. print. And he told of long, clinging kisses given and taken, "kisses that had taught him why it is the world is sometimes bartered for a woman's kiss." It was too, too much for poor Starr too much for any husband to hear from any wife's lips; and because it was only a phantom, a memory, that could not be explained away, it seemed ever so much the worse. When Mrs. Starr finished reading her reply to the Boy's letter her hus band had collapsed, and was only semi-conscious. Then she bent down and electrified him by pointing with her finger to certain round brown splashes, unseen by iiini, which she whispered were "Blood! Blood!" Starr gave a great cry and rushed out of the bedroom. A half an hour later, white and shaking, he told the doctor his wife was. crazy, and added rather brokenly that he felt he "could never bear to see her again." Up to the very last Mrs. Starr con tinued to find those letters every day. She found them hidden under dainty, fragrant lingerie in her bureau drawer, under her pillow at night, and some times even in the very bosom of the dress she wore. In agony she was doomed to read them over and over again, till she could read no more. There are people who do not know why Starr and his wife drifted away from one another, and who are in clined to call Starr a brute. My own opinion is that Providence stepped into the lives of Starr and his wife and commenced business a little sooner than is his usual custom. But the saddest part of It all is this: For Starr's sake the woman would have gone on her hands and knees through all the world so much I know. Dining Out Mrs. Townsend's Difficulty in Ordering the Lunch. "Now," asked Mrs. Townsend. when they were settled In their places at the restaurant table, "what shall I or dr for luncheon?" "Let me see the bill of fare," Janet said, reaching for it. "In a minute," Jack answered; "I just want to see what kinds of soup there are." "I don't want soup," said Janet. "Neither do I," her mother added.' "But I'd like some," Jack insisted. "Now, here's some of the mulliga tawny. What's that like?' "If yoit take soup, we'll have o sit doing nothing while you eat yours," Janet objected. "And, besides, one portion is more than you can eat, and it will be wasted." "It won't save it to eat it any more than to leave it after it is paid for," was Jack's answer. "You don't have soup usually at home," his mother remarked. "That's why I want it. What's the use of going to a restaurant if you just eat what you get at home?" "You're not here for amusement i but to get some food." Janet observed j "All right," Jack agreed; "then you j can just eat oatmeal with bread and , butter. That'll be cheap and filling." ! Janet began to look cross. ; "Here," Mrs. Townsend said, "let j me take the bill of fare. I will order the luncheon." After a moment she j looked up. ''Suppose, Janet, you and j I have some tea and fancy cakes, and for Jack I will order some, baked j chicken pie." "I don't like chicken pie. I'd rather have mock turtle soup and chicken salad and ice cream." "That's too much," his mother re plied, "and it's too expensive.' "Well, then," Jack grumbled, "if 1 can't have what I want, I won't take anything!" "That's just like you!" Janet ex claimed. "You just go and spoil everything!" "Well," Jack muttered. "I'm not going to guzzle tea and crumble dried up cake. I'd rather take chewing gum: ' Mrs. Townsend put down the bill of fare in despair. "I do wish you wouldn't be so trou blesome! I'm sure I can't suit you all without ordering a lot of things we don't want. And it's wasting money, too. AH we need is a light luncheon so that you will not get too hungry before your dinner." She picked up the bill once more. "Let me so' What do you say to a nice salad with French dressing and some rolls?" "Don't like leaves," Jack muttered, while Janet looked equally unhappy, and asked: "Can't we have some des fcertf! "Dessert?" echoed Mrs. Townsend. !'Yes, we could. Suppose we say rice pudding?" This was the last straw. Jack went down to the depths of despair, and Janet's lower lip began to tremble. "Well, children," their mother said, "shall I give the order?" "I'd rather go without anything," was Jack's reply, and he turned indif ferently from the table. "So would I," Janet agreed. "Have you ordered?" inquired a waiter, approaching briskly. "Not yet," said Mrs. Townsend. "I'll let you know in just a moment. Come, children, what will you have?" "You won't let us have what we want," Jack answered coldly. "I'm sure I don't know what to do. You suggest ridiculous things and won't say yes to anything else." "Women don't know what men like for lunch," Jack observed grandly. "O, very well," Mrs. Townsend re plied. "We can't wait much longer. Your father wished us to be prompt, so as to be in time for the matinee. Now he will be Here he comes. I'm glad. If you don't like me to or der, you can just ask your father." !

Even the taxicab is nothing new. Dr. Oile3, professor of Chinese at Cambridge university, has recently dis covered in the dynastic histories of China a complete specification of the mechanism of a Chinese taxicab. They are first mentioned under the Chin dynasty, A. D. 265-419. From that time down to the middle Of the four teenth century frequent allusions to such vehicles, known as the "measure mile drum chariots" are to be found Under the year 1027 A. D., and again under the year 1107 A. D., full par ticulars are given as to their construc tion, the number of wheels, their po sitions, the number of cogs on each wheel, etc., being ail definitely stated. On completing a translation" of the specification Prof. Giles placed it in the hands of Prof. Hopkinson of the engineering laboratory with the satis-1 factory result that from a specifica tion recorded by the Chinese some 900 years ago Prof. Hopkinson has con structed a model of a wheeled vehicle which accurately registers the dis tances traversed.
