This was the wonderful Vassar necklace, enriched, la three successive generations, by gems scarce anywhere to be matched.

In the light of the reappearing moon, glided from the room as noise-lesa- ly as It had gilded In. (Continued The marriage of Miss Vassar was of the sort of which people talk.

MJss, Vassar, if not quite In her first youth and not what one might call pretty, had inherited all the millions of herfather.

Louis Radetsky' had no millions whatever, but he was young and the handsomest man In town. Whatever might or might not be said, Helen' Vassar. was happy. Her gentle, sympathetic eyes hadcertain depths nowadays that madeLeslie Radetsky think her almost good looking. Leslie spent much of her time in the large Vassar country house now.

This was natural. She was Louis' adopted sister. At this instant she sat lazily watthlng Helen giving orders to her maid for the toilet she would wear that night. Miss Vassar's Invitations had been out three weeks for her great ball. A small, gold-bou- nd coffer was open before her, and from the delicate, scented satin of Its lining the liquid fire of diamonds, the living whiteness of pearls, detached themselves.

The new maid, moved about silent and "You are careless." said a moment In which the woman left the room. "How long have you had that person? Tou lock up nothing, and you really know nothing of Clemence." "She cams excellently recommended." i Leslie shrugged hershoulders. She was a tall girl, dark and slight, almost to thinness, which did not prevent her having arms and a throat so beauflful that, when in a ballroom people followed her with their eyes. Her glance was deep and a little restless. She had magnificent hair, and hands and feet that rivaled herthroat in beauty.

Nevertheless no one spoke ofher as pretty. "I feeldefrauded that Louis cannot come tonight." said Helen Vassar, taking up thethread of an interested conversation. "What business so urgent that he must absolutely leave town today?" "Tou may be sure it Is urgent. Of course, it's unfortunate." "How firm you are In your allegiance to Louis," smiled Louis' betrothed. "You would question nothing he might do.

You are an exemplary brother and sister. You are very devoted." "Very devoted." said Leslie. The maid had the room. She had a note which she gave to Miss Radetsky. The latter opened and read it throurh.

She was rather silent for awhile. Then she got up and with some passing excuse went out. A halfhour later she returned, dressed for the street. "Will you let me have the brougham? I have thought of something I want in town. I shall have time to drive in and back before dinner." "Can't I send some one?" "No, I prefer to go myself." "Just as you" tlkei of Naturally, ring for the brougham Whenever you It was a crisp autumn afternoon and the horses traveled rapidly.

When the.y reached town Miss Radetsky stopped at a large shop and badethe coachman wait. She walked through the crowded aisles leisurely and finally lstued Into another street through an opposite door.Then she began to accelerate her steps. She walked about ten minutesand stopped at length-be-fo- re a bachelor apartment house. She took the elevator and rang at a door. It opened almost simultaneously, andshe entered a large room with partly drawn curtains.

Louis closed and double lockedthe door again. By this time Leslie had become accustomed to the seemingobscurity. A tremor seized her knees and hands. She 6ank into a chair and fastened her eyes upon him. "Tell the- whole truth." she said.

"Something horrible has happened. I have felt the catastrophe coming a long time." He had thrown himself down beside her. His beauty waa defaced like a Greek god prone In the dust. He began In broken phrases, which illumined the situation for the listening woman as flashed of lightning illumes a black landscape. Leslie never spoke.

Tho'last carriage rolling away from Miss Vassar's ball facedthe late rising moon. The day hadbeen cool andthe night had a warning of winter. There were sounds of closing doors, of footsteps, about the great house for a half hour or more. On the landing of the first floor Helen said" good-nig- ht to her guest and the women separated and went to their rooms. The last light was extinguished after a time and everything sank Into silence.

The creaking of a door awoke no echo wide hall. A window at the end of it admitted moonlight cloisters! In Its whiteness. It just touched a softly stepping figure dressed in black. In black, of course. How could one tell what trick a stray moonbeam falling on white might play? Miss Vassar slept behind locked doors.

But "between her bedroom and the hall was a small boudoir. There was moonlight enough here also. Enough, at least, to see one's way to the curious cabinet of inlaid Japanese woods that stood In one corner. A fragile thing in appearance, but not fragile In reality, unless you happened to know the mechanism of Its secret drawers. When you did, what more easy than to touch a spring and assist the hinge that noiselessly turned, exposing the Indistinct contour of the well-know- coffer behind? Thebox was light of weight, despite the value It represented, but those swift, dexterlous fingers bad no thought of carrying It.

Already they had pressed the secret spring lock that opened It and lifted the padded tray. Just then the moon passed under a cloud.

Mr. Rockefeller, learned that Dr. Jacques was carrying on experiments with much success, not, however, without the outlay of many thousands of dollars. The financier expressed his regret that research along these lines should be forced to languish because of the absence of funds and offered to supply the necessary capital.

Whether or not the Standard Oil man has designs on this new process by which cheaper electricity may be obtained, if Dr. Jacques is enabled to make a success of his experiments by means of the financial support of Rockefeller, the oil king may well be said to have performed one act that will benefit the whole world.

WAYS OP SERVANTS IH MANILA. I my friends here I learn that much of the patriarchal system of living still prevails even in Manila. In some large houses there are from twenty to thirty dependents of all degrees, from poor relations to cooks and scullions. These persons live about the house, sleeping in corners, and are clothed and fed by the mistress. They marry, have children, andraise them in a harum-scaru- way that would drive an American woman to an Insane asylum.

Again and again I have seen In one of the finest houses here small naked children asleep behind the parlor door, while large-eye- placid women nursedbabies quite unabashed as they crouched on the floor in the hallways. These servants have their home, their clothes, food, and from three to five pesos a month. In a way, I suppose, they earn this money, as they nonchalantly polish the hardwood floors or carelessly flap the dust from the cVnter of tables and chairs. They sit on the floor in kitchens in front of a pan of water and wash the dishes that are piled up around them, andstack them edgeways along the wall to dry.Surely their ways are not ours, and it is a shock to the nerves to see a kitchen In the heat of preparation for a banquet of which one Is to partake later. It requires some skill to pass between the various dishes being prepared on the floor, where cats and dogs and babies, meats and fruits and vegetables, seem hopelessly Jumbled up.

I alwaysforget about it later, for a delicious dinner will always come forth from the chaos. Many of these servants have lived all their lives in one family. They feel themselves dependent on their masters, and the Idea of their going away or being dismissed never occurs to either master or servant. There is consequently a family 'feeling between them, and a freedom of Intercourse that we, democrats though we are, would not tolerate. A friend told me that his head servant always remonstrates with him when he disapproves any course of action, and sometimes I have witnessed an altercation between a mlstrees and maid in which the maid prevailed.

At or.e house, I remember, there was a difference of opinion at dinner as to the kind of wine to be served, andthe servant had his way; yet they are not considered impertinent by their masters. American Woman in the Outlook. 0 Why the Price of Salt Was Doubled. Competition is not only the life of legitimate trade but it aids in protecting the consumer from persons sell public necessaries at exorbitant prices. To thefact that one company virtually controlsthe production of coarse salt In this vicinity hi probably due the increase of 100 per cent in the price of that necessary.

Not only will brewers, restaurant men, tanners and stockmen be affected by thisunusual increase in cost but every householder in Salt Lake who owns on ice cream freezer will feel the effect of theaction of the salt company in advancing its whoesale price on coarse salt from $3.50 to flO per When thiscompany was fighting some of its young rivals; last summer it delivered this same grade of salt to wholesalers at $2 per ton. Hide salt which cost the big dealer from 7 to $9 per ton now calls for 20 per ton. What causes this condition? We quote the explanation of the salt company from the news columns of yesterday's Telegram: A. Clayton, treasurer of the Inland Crystal Salt company, was reticent about making any explanation of the increased prices, but finally said: 'While the fight was on here we gave salt away and made people presents for taking it. Our territory hereis so small that we cannot make any As to ths Heroic Poison.

Squad. The food consumers of America owe a debt of gratitude to DrJ Wiley's "poison squad." For four months the department clerks who compose this "squad" have been eating adulterated articles of food underthe direction of the Government's pure food expert. The object of the experiments is to ascertain what the effects of preserved foods are upon the human system. Not one of the twelve young men who are lending their services to Dr. Wiley has tasted food outside the official dining-roo- In thebasement of the Department of Chemistry building in Washington since December 6th.

Thtre is an entry for each meal, showing the weight of the food taken, the character of the food and when poison was being served. Four monthshas been sufficient time to convince Dr. Wiley 01 tne value of the experiments. Up to this time the experiments have dealt largely with the effect of borax asa preservative. During the next three months there will be experiments with other preservatives, and adulterated foods of various kinds will be experimented with.

This "poison squad" is also a squad of heroes. They have voluntarily subjected themselves to these experiments which are of the utmost importance to the masses. They afe brave men and are entitled to the same credit a man receives when he' goes to war forhis country. The pure food soldier eats poison while the man of war faces flying bullets. The man who takes the poison into his in greater danger of deaththan the soldier who goes on the battlefield.

All honor to the members of this heroic "poison squad" who have risked their lives in the interest of the Nation's health. They are brave men and true and Congress should give every one of them a gold medal. money wnen mere is competition. 'Did you succeed in the fight of last year, when, you sold salt at $2 per ton in putting the small companies out of 'WELL, WE HAVE VIRTUALLY NO COMPETITION he admitted. 'We're too firmly established here for any one else to make a profitin the business.

And we would be glad to quit the business 'How much territory do you 'Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming and a part of Washington and 'You have bought out several local companies that were incorporated to manufacture salt, haven't 'Some of them we bought and some went out ofbusinessbecause they lost Mi. Clayton replied." After reading Mr. Clayton's explanation of why salt which sold for 2 last summer was raised to $3.50 in the winter and is now advanced to 10, there can be only onecause assigned "WE HAVE VIRTUALLY NO COMPETITION NOW, WE'RE TOO FIRMLY ESTABLISHED NOWFOR ANY ONE ELSE TO MAKE A PROFIT IN THE BUSINESS." Chicago is excited over the suggestion that a bust of Brigham Young be placed in theHall of Fame at the St. Louis exposition. But why was Senator Smoot overlooked? The Americus club says it invited him to address the society because the Utah statesman "is a great authority on finance." This surely makes Mr.

Smoot eligible to a place in the Hall of Fame. Johan Most has just completed his imprisonment for' publication of incendiary matter in his weekly paper. It is safe to say, though, that he Is the same hardenedsinner as before. A good anarchist can only be made by the same method as a good Indian. King Edward Doing a Great Work.

King Edward now and then does little things that prove him jto be a level-heade- monarch. We may criticise the English ruler's life while he was a 'profligate Trince, but some ofhis official acts since he became King entitles him to the title of humane and ju8t ruler. The Irish landlord bill is one of the big things which have made Edward popular, but the shock which the King has just given England's great army of the superstitious will increase his hold on the sensible people of the whole world. Since the announcement that courts would continue to be held on Fridays the old ladies whobelieve in omens have been busyprophesying evil and raking up instances In which events have fulfilled the prophecies. With a varied selection of ghosts, from Queen Elizabeth to Heme the Hunter in his own home at Windsor to enforce respect for the supernatural, these superstitious persons cannot understand why the King flies in the faceof tradition and tempts Providence in such a fashion.The monarch who fixes the first court of the season for a Friday, and of all Fridays in the month elects the one which falls on the 13th, is in their view capable of They could almost imagine him walking under ladders, crossing knives, spilling salt or even sitting down thirteen at table.

He, accordingly, has been exhorted to remember thelate Queen, who changed her coronation day from June 2Cth to 28th to avoid an unlucky anniversary. Did not the stones of 8tonehenge-- Hr two of them fall beforeQueen Victoria died? And should not the King take this to heart and have more respect for the omens? Keep up your smashing of omens, Edward. You are doing a good work and if you would make yourself even more solid with the sensible element of every nation, continue to give these superstitious folks a shock or two occasionally.
