Met hue .-S-.S».«.«.*».«-a>.S».».S*>.^.S It was a dull day for bulldogs, ruffs, whose bull baiting ancestors bad bequeathed bim a love of adventure, sat on tlie veranda of the villa and yawned. A Rrs?eu automobile rolled along the driveway of the bouse. When it stopped at the veranda, a pretty, brown haired girl of twenty laughingly greeted her enthusiastic friend, who leaped upon her, regardless of tbo damage whish dirty paws inflicted on a white Bfirge dress. "One would think I bud been away a year instead of n week," the girl said Bayly. j '■Is it only a week since I first met ! you?" replied ber companion, "I seem to have known you always." Florence Hastings' face became serious as she putted the wriggling I'iiITs. "1 am afraid your Imagination is over- ; powerful, Mr. Oakley," she said. "Any- ; way, you've saved uie a dismal railway journey from tbe N'ewlons'. I was '. glad to let my trunks take lt alone. So, whatever your condition of mind, you must come lu and meet papa." "Is he at home?*' "He comes ou tbe 5 o'clock 'relief ; express.' That's what lie calls uny train which takes bim away from Wall street." "He leaves his ollice at 4?" "Yes. Do you hesitate at the ordeal of passing the interval with nie'r" Florence was smiling again. Porter Oakley laughed protesting!"*, "I was hesitating because of an important business affair," tie said anally. "Is there a telegraph ollice iu the village?" "There Is, aud 1 will send a groom with your message." Oakley looked at his watch. "Quarter of 3," he murmured. "Will you pardon me If I go to tbe office In thc automobile?" be asked. "It will save fifteen valuable minutes." As the machine puffed along the driveway Florence watched it musingly and Inwardly resented bor feeling of relief — It seemed like weakness. When she first met Oakley at the New- tons' country bouse, sbe vaguely dls- liksnl him. As she watched the automobile speeding toward the village she thought of Trilby and smiled. Then she grew serious and felt sorry that sho had asked Oakley to stay, but she knew tbat If tbe little scene near the veranda were to be reacted she would ask him again. "Do you believe in hypnotic influence. Puffs?" slu* said softly, putting an arm uround the bulldog's muscular neck. Puffs did not. Every line In his sturdy figure expressed disbelief. Then he conveyed sympathy and encouragement by extending a few Inches saf damp pink tongue toward bis mistress' cheek. Tbat evening Florence sat on the veranda with Porter Oakley. Her father did not arrive on the "relief ex* press," nor bad word come from bim. Oakley bad waited for the older nmn, bail accepted an Invitation t'i dine, and now he sat with Floren e and watched the moon creep toward ths. Orange mountains. "There Is still an hour or so of moonlight, aud I sball have a bright road to New York," he said. "I tbougbt father would surely be here on the 8 o'clock train," paid Florence. Oakley held tbe face of bis watch to his cigar tii). "Half past 8 now," he answered. "When does the next train arrive?" "At 0." "Your father may be on that. Why don't you run down to the station with uu* and meet bim?" Oakley snid. Florence looked up at bim quickly. "Why, I-I"— she began, but Oakley was leaning toward her, the mo mllght shining on bis face and lighting bis gray eyes, which were fixed on hers, Five minutes later the automobile was running nlong the country road, containing one uneasy and one triumphant person und followed by a white, four legged creature whose under jaw protruded at the ancle of determination und who patiently blinked nway tbe dust aroused by tbe (lying monster In front The hands of thc little red faced clock ln the tower of the station pointed to n quarter of tbe hour, and they passed on, Oakley saying that they would have five minutes of speeding before returning to wait for tho train.

"Wc had better turn back." said Florence as tbey reached an open stret.ii of road, Oakley consulted bis watch. "After 0," be said, in apparent surprise. "Wo can't meet your father now. Shan't we keep on?" "I prefer to go home," Florence replied coldly. Oakley leaned over thc steering lever as the machine sped on Its way. Then he turned and his eyes met Florence's, "I am the chauffeur," he said quietly. Florence looked steadily at bim. I'or* ter Oakley returned lu'r gaze, but the trilling power that hnd made her forget conventionalities was dissipated by the honest wrath which glowed In tbo girl's eyes. "Mr. Oakley, will you turn back'/" sbe said sharply. "'Miss Hastings*, we are not going back." Oakley replied mockingly. "What slu you niciiu:" "1 mean that 1 have known and wanted you for a sveek, it usually takes less than a Week for tne to get anything I want.

His grasp on tbe steering lever became unsteady, the machine swerved violently, and be gradually brought it to a standstill at the side of the road. Florence jumped to the ground and started toward home, but Oakley placed himself ln her way. "You shall not go back." be said. "If you won't go on, we can stay in this lonely place, and in the morning, when it is known that you have passed tbe night with me, you may be more willing to accept my proposals." Florence stopped and faced Oakley. Her hands were clinched, but sbe was trembling pitiably, lie smiled aud came toward ber. "Come, now. Marriage is easy In New Jersey," be said.

"You don't think I shall let a dog Interfere with my plans, do you?" he asked. He stepped to the nutomobile, placed bis band under the scat, and when he withdrew it it held a glittering object Florence gave a low cry, and a white streak flew from tbe road. The next instant Oakley was kneeling on the ground, Puffs' teeth were firmly hold- lug his wrist, nnd tbe useless weapon was lying in tbe dust. Florence looked at him helplessly; then her eyes brightened, "Come, Puffs, we shall go home," she said, "and he will take us." Half an hour later a green automobile drew slowly up the driveway of the Hastings country house. Seated in it were a young woman and a sullen looking num. Between them, with his back to tbe girl and his eyes lixetl on tbe man, was a stolid and dusty lwill- dog. When Mr. Hastings arrived on tbe 11 o'clock train, he found bis daughter In a subdued mood. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked, waving a telegram before ber. Florence took the paper and read: Meet ir.e at thc uptown ferry, 10 o'clock toi.Ight. FLORENCE. "This is why you stayed In the city," sb'* said slowly. Then, ns she realized the meaning of the message, "It must have been Mr. Oakley's Important business." When Mr. Hustings had recovered a degree of equanimity after the story of the automobile, he looked fondly at Puffs. "I'll buy one of those machines some day," be said, gravely extending his hand, into which a responsive paw was placed; "and wben I do I shan't have to look far for a chauffeur." Vcrj- Old ehnreh. The Chnrcb of San Miguel, at Santa Fe. is claimed by New Mexicans to be the oldest In the l'nited States. There is much dispute over the exact date of its erection, but it was certainly built be'.ween 200 and .'00 years ago by the fifi-t Indian converts under the direc tion of the Spanish padres—some say ns long ago as 1545, Insisle it is like a vault, blnck and crumbling, with cracked adobe walls and roof, and a gallery whose woodwork still shows traces of the figures painted there by the Indians, designs like those tbey put upon their pottery today. But tbe most Interesting thing In San Miguel is the old bell, St. Joseph. Black with age, it looks like a mass of old iron In its dim recesses. But strike It, and it gives forth a mellow note of silvery clearness, echoing with marvelous sweetness through tbe vnultlike old church. The quality of tbe bell niB'tal make:; tbe richness of the note, nmi there is a tradition that it was made of the gold and silver ornaments of iho Spanish as n thank ottering for a victory over tlie Moors. At any rate, the old Spanish padres brought the bell, already ancient, across the seas from Spain and over mountains and plateaus from Mexico. The Moors uro gone, Spain's great empire of the west has vanished, and still the old bell mauda tbere, older than American civilization. Thr Fun In Illtstory. As in a mirror, the fan, the origin of which ls lost in the twilight of oriental legend, reflects tbe habits, customs, art nud taste of every country which has made a friend of an artldle so useful nnd ornamental. Greece was the lirst European country to adopt the fan- two birds' wings-one of Its uss-s being by acolytes in the temples to drive nway the flics from tbe sacrifice. It served the early Christians in tbe catacombs a similar purpose when the bread and wine were spread for tbo sacrament, a custom Which lasted In the Roman Catholic cburcb to the fourteenth century. In this same century the fan made an almost simultaneous appearance throughout Italy end France, in England and Spain. Its most artistic flights bave been achieved In France, but not even to France will Spain yield in its use of the fan as "an important weapon in tbe mimic warfare of coquetry nnd flirtation." Whether the Spanish lady Is In church or a place of amusement, whether visiting or walking, It ls always ln her bands, frequently portraying the honors ol Ilie bullfight Corresponding with these, certain French revolution funs represent Charlotte Corday carrying a dagger in one band and a fun iu the otbcrl The Rev.

There was uo "Prince Albert," no high hat, no clerical collar, no high buttoned vest. His clothes, of not tho latest cut, yet carefully brushed and pressed, would have stamped him a young business man, and nfter a glance at his face—a firm, clean shaven face, with thc brows at that moment knit in a frown—one would have said that business was not all the gentleman in question could have wished lt. It was a favorite remark of tbe Rev. Mr. Hall tbat if his dally life and deeds gave no Inkling to his profession tho symbols of tbe cloth never would. For the first time In the long fight the Rev. Charles Hnll was discouraged. He realized that now Indeed the church at Ccdarvllle, bis church, was lu tbe last ditch. The roof leaked and that cracked tbe plastering, the carpet was ln tatters, the paint was losing faith ln the clapboards and tho spire was so badly out of plumb that the town board had threatened to take lt down unless lt wns given prompt attention. Some subscription papers, circulated through the town, had netted returns pitifully small. The envelope weekly offering system had been woefully inadequate to cover the pastor's salary, and the Ladles' Aid society, with three suppers and a fair, had raised just $08.37. He smiled grimly as he remembered that last year his salary had been $200 short and this year bade fair to be another hundred shorter. i There had remained yet one hope. Cedarville was quite a summer resort, and during the hot months numerous well to do men from the neighboring city stayed there with their families. , Some of these nttended the church. As a last resort Rev. Mr. Hall had come to the city to make personal appeul to these men. But Brother Jones and j Brother Hayes aud Brother Benton i had other channels for their currency, I and when Hall, weary and heartsick, sat down in the corridor of tbe hotel, : ho had raised but $20 In cash, with . pledges of perhaps $3S more. He had opened bis time table again when some one touched bis shoulder. "Oh, I say, Bplder," said a voice in j deprecation, "this isn't just square, you know. We've been hunting high and low for you. Why didu't you scud | us word?" Hall looked up. Two young fellows, evidently college men, stood before bim. "Were you aildressing me?" said Hall. "That's pretty good," said the other young man. "You're funny when you hnvo a try at dignity, old boy." 'There's no use mincing matters," sai'l No. 1. "If you're going to back down, we want the deposit back; that's all." "Gentlemen," said Hall curtly, "I'll givo your seeming Impertinence tbe benefit of the doubt. Ihere Is evidently some mistake bere." "Oh, ring off; ring off!" said tbe first speaker wearily. "You've led us enough of a chase already." "See here," said Hall, rising angrily; "I've no IntentiiAii"— "Have you the nerve to say you're not Spider Median?" said No. 2 while be favored bis companion with a pon derous wink. "Most certainly I'm not," said Hall. "Would you mind letting ns ss*e your left forearm?" saiil So. 1. with tbe air of a man who has trumped the trick. "Certainly not," said Hall, with some asperity, "If It will be a means of convincing you." He bared his left forearm, and the twsi bent over It critically. "Ry Qeorgel Ths're aren't any tnttsso marks here," said the shorter of the pair. "We owe you every apology, sir, for a very stupid blunder. Will you join us?" He nodded toward a pair of swinging doors from behind which the dink of glusscs was plainly audible. "No, thank you," said Hall shortly nud turned again to his time table. Again be felt tbe touch ou bis shoulder. "We don't mean to intrude," said a respectful voice. Hall looked up and found the young fellows again before hlm. "Well?" he said. "You see," began the taller chap, "we're in the deuce of a fix. nnd we thought perhaps—bare chance, you know—you might care to help us out and Incidentally make a neat bit out of it There's several hundred lu lt for some one." Hall thought of the church nnd his morning's work for the $'',s. "I'm certainly open to suggestions," be said, smiling grimly. "Can you box?" said his Interlocutor. Hall's face wore a puzzled expression at the inquiry. "1 havo In years past," be admitted. "Oood:" said tho other. "If we can come to terms, yon are the very man we need just at present. This gentleman is Mr. Burns. I am Robert Dix.

The International Congress for Ap- plii'd Chemistry held u second plenary silting in Uorlln recently, during which Sir William Crookes dollvored an udilress entitled "Msuluru Views on Matter; 'J'ho ileali/.ulion of a Dream " The lecturer saiti thut for nearly u contury men of science luul bwn dri'itming of atoms, molecules, and ultraiiiuudanu particles, und luul been speculating as to tho origin of mutter. Tiny luul now got so far us to admit tho possibility of resolving tho chomlcal oloiuouts Into simpler forms of matter, or even of refining thorn awuy altogothor Into ethereal vibrations or electrical energy, Sir William Crookes then gave a brief account of some Investigations bearing on the constitution of matter und Uie possibility of dissociating the chemical elements. lie remarked that a number of isolated hypotheses as to the existence of ninl ier iii iiii ultra-gaseous state, tho oxiBtenco of material particles smaller Hum atoms, the existence of electrical atoms or electrons, tho constitution of Iloentgon rays and their passage through opaque bodies, the emanations from uranium, and tho dissociation of the elements wire now welded Into one harmonious theory by I lie discovery of radium. After paying a high tribute to tho labors of M, und Mmo, Curia and "M. Bemont, ho proceeded to describe soiiiii of the characteristic of radium. He snid thai ihe most striking property of radium wus its power to scud forth torrents of emanations. A convenient method of observing these OmanatiOUS was to fit a blende screen at thu end of a brass tube with a speck of radium salt in front about a millimeter ofl ond to have a Ions nt the other end. The emanations could then be observed in tho form of scintillations on tho screen. In conclusion, Sir William Crookes remarked With regard to this and other experiments: "Indulging in a 'scientific use of the imagination' and pushing the hypothesis of tho electronic constitution of matter to what 1 consider its logical limit, we muy be in fact witnessing a spontaneous dissoeiution of radium—and we bi'gin to doubt the permanent stability of mutter. The Cliemical atom may bo actually suffering u catabollc transformation, but ut so slow a rato that, supposing a million atoms Ily off every Second, it would take a century for its weight to diminish by one milligramme "It must never be forgotten thnt theories are only useful so long us thoy admit of the harmonious correlation of facts into a reasonable system. Directly a fart refuses to be pigeon-holed und will not be explained on theorotic grounds, tho theory must go nr it must be revised to admit the new 1'n.i-t. The nineteenth century saw the birth of now views of atoms, electricity, and other. Our views to-day of the constitution of mutter may appear satisfactory to us. but how will it be at. lli" closo of the twentieth century? An* we not incessantly learning the lesson that our researches have only a provisional value? A hundred yeurs hence shall we acquiesce in the resolution of tho material universe Into a swarm of rushing electrons? "This fatal quality of atomic slis- sociation appears to be universal, und operates whenever we brush a pi.ro of gloss with silk: it works In tho sunshine and raindrops, and In ile.' lightnings and flame; it prevails In the waterfall and the stormy sen.
