Uncle Sam makes a big profit on
all his coins except the gold ones,
which contain the full face value
of metal. The silver in silver ones
is worth only about half the face
value, and on the nickel and copper
coins the profit is much larger still.
Director of the Mint Roberts in tvs
report says that for the last fiscal
year the total profit on the coins
issued was $6,420,000. Out of
one pound of a compound of nickel
and copper costing about 22 cents
the government coins about $4.5fc
worth of five-cent pieces. That is
about 1900 per cent, which is not
so bad.

Are All Children Llarsf
Every teacher knows that every
child is a liar, but he does not know
that savage man is also a liar, that
the two phases are comparable, and
that It is merely the desire of the
child, as, indeed, with the savage
man, to tell you something which will
please you. and to concoct the most
astonishing fabrications to satisfy that
desire. A teacher knowing this would
not brand the child as a liar and pun
ish it accordingly, but by careful con
versation fcure the lying phases of
child life. So, too, there are many
other phases, such as playing with

Getting Results.
Connecticut Is proud to call herself
the I>and of Steady Habits, writes
Governor Baldwin in Leslie's. She is
slow to adopt new experiments in gov
ernment She knows that they often
are two edged swords and cut both
ways. Connecticut early adopted
compulsory education. She has there
fore always had an intelligent people.
She believes in God, and has a re
ligious people, largely Roman Catho
lic. But two states are smaller in
territory, but 17 are smaller in popu
lation. She saw many years ago
that the money to be made out of
farming was. on the whole, less than
that to be made out of manufactures
in a state where the people had a
well cultivated, inventive faculty and
regular habits of trained Industry She
thus passed from the ranks of the
agricultural states to those of the
manufacturing states, and she has
grown rich because of the change She
still has, however, large farming inter
ests—as large as they ever were. Her
climate favors them. More varieties
of trees flourish in Connecticut than
in any other state. More varieties of
birds are found there than in any
other state.

CHAPTER XXXII Oswald is told of
Edith’s death.
He recognized its mordant fang, and
knew that its ravages, though only
just begun, would last his lifetime.
Nothing could stop them now, noth
ing, nothing. And he laughed, as the
thought went home; laughed at the
irony of fate and its inexorableness;
laughed at his own defeat and his
nearness to a barred Paradise. Os
wald loved Edith, loved her yet, wl'h
a flame time would take long to
quench. Doris loved Oswald and he
Doris; and not one of them would
ever attain the delights each was so
fitted to enjoy. Why shouldn’t he
laugh? What is left to man but mock
ery when all props fall? Disappoint
ment alone was the universal lot; and
it should go merrily with him if he
must take his turn at it. Put litre
the strong spirit of the man reassert
ed itself; it should be but a turn. A
man’s Joys are not bounded by his
loves or even by the satisfaction of a
perfectly untrammeled mind. Per
formance makes a world of its own
lor the capable and the strong, and
this was still left to him. lie, Or

sections of his car as had not yet been

forward to his work, and soon the lips
which had uttered that sardonic laugh

Would his tones, however, have

CHAPTER XXXIV.
The Hut Changes Its Name.
That night Oswald whs taken very
il). For three days his life hung in
the balance, then youth and healthy
living triumphed over shock and be
reavement, and he came slowly back
i to his scd and crippled existence.
He had been conscious for a week
j or more of his surroundings, and of
[ his bitter sorrows as well, when one
| interning he asked Doris whose face
' lit. was he had seen bending over him
I jao often duting the last week: ‘‘Have
you a new doctor? A man with white
,hatr and a comforting smite? Or have
jf dreamed this face? I have had so
many fancies this might easily he one
'of them."
“No, it is not a fancy,” was the
quiet reply. “Nor is it the face of
a doctor. It is that of a friend. One
whoso lie;:r» is bound up in yotir re
covery; one for whom you must live,
Mr. Brotherson.”
j “I don't know him, Doris. It’s a
strange face to me. And yet, it's not
altogether strange. Who is this man
and why should he care for me so
deeply?”
i “Because you shnre one love and
one grief. It is Edith's father whom
! you see at your bedside. He Iras
helped to nurse you ever since you
i came down this second time.”
i i “Edith's father! Doris, it cannot
be. Edith’s father!”
j “Yes, Mr. Chatloner has been In
Derby for the last two weeks. He has
i only one interest now; to see you
well again.”
ij “Why?”
Doris caught the note of pain, if cot
I suspicion, in this query, and smiled
as she asked in turn:
“Shall he answer that question
; himself? He is waiting to come in.
Not to talk. You need not fear his
talking. He’s as quiet as any man 1
ever saw.”
The sick man closed his eyes, and
Doris watching, saw the flush rise to
his emaciated cheek, then slowly
fade away again to a pallor that
frightened her. Had 3be injured
where she would heal? Had she
I pressad too suddenly and too hard
i on the ever gaping wound in her in
j valid’s breast? She gasped in terror
at the thought, then she faintly smiled,
j tor his eyes had opened again and
showed a calm determination as he
said:
"1 should like to see him. T should
like him to answer the question 1 have
just put you. I should rest easi r
and Ret well faster—or not gat well
at all.’'
This latter he half whispered, and
l>or!s, tripping from the room may not
have heard it, for her face showed no
further shadow as she, ush< red in
Mr. Challoner. and dosed the door
behind him. She had looked forward
lo this moment for days. To Oswald,
however, It was an unexpected pv
citement and his voice trembled with
something more than physical weak
ness as he greeted his visitor and
thanked him for his attentions.
"Doris «ays that you have shown
me this kindness from the dee Ire you
have to see me w’dl again, Mr. C’hal
lotter. Is this true?”
"Very true. I cannot emphasize
the tact too strongly.”
Oswald's eyes met his again, this
time with great earnestness.
"You must have serious reasons for
feeling so—reasons which 1 do not
quite understand. May I ask why you
place such value upon a life which,
it gyer useful to Itself or qthers* nas
lost and lost forever, the one delight
which gave it meaning?”
if was tor Mr. Challoner’s voire to
tremble now, as reaching out his
band, he declared, with unmistakable
ft eling:
i have no --on. I have no interest
it. life, outside this room and the pos
si> ilities it contains for me. Vo ir i
attachment to my daughter has ere 1
ated a bond between us, .Mr. Brother-I
eon, which I sincerely hope to see ;
recognized by you."
Startled and deeply moved, thr
young man stretched out a shaking
hand towards his visitor, with the
feeble but exulting cry:
"Then you do not blame me for her
wretched and mysterious death. You
hold me guiltless of the misery which
.nerved her despairing arm?"
I "Quite guiltless”
Oswald's wan nnd pinched features
took on a beautiful expression and
Mr. Challoner no longer wondered
at his daughter’s choice.
“Thank God!" fell from the sick
man’s lips, and ih n •here was a si
lence during which their two hands
met.
It was seme minutes before either
spoke and tli u it was Oswald who
said:
“f must confide to you certain farts.
I honored your daughter and realized
her posiiion fully. Our plight was
never rm.de in words, nor should 1
have presumed to advance any claim
to her bund if I had noL made good
my expectations, Mr. Challoner. t
meant to win both h< r regard and
yours by acts, not words. 1 telt that
I had a great deal to do and 1 was
prepared to work and wait. I loved
her—” Hu turned away his head
and the silence which lilted up the
gap united those two hearts as the
old and young are seldom united.
But when a little later Mr. Challon
er rejoined Doris, in her little1 sit iig
roorn, he nevertheless showed a per
plexity she had hoped to see removed
“I Have No Sen.”
by this understanding with the
younger Itrofhereon.
The cause became apparent, an soon
as he spoke.
‘‘These brothers hold hy each
other." eaid he. “Oswald will hear
nothing against Orlando. He says
that he has redeemed his fault. He
does not even protest that his broth- !
er's word is to he believed In (hi
matter. He does not seem to think i
that necessary. He evid ntly regards j
Orlando's personality as speaking as j
truly and satisfactorily for itself, as
his own does. And I dared not unde
ceive him.”
“He does not know all our reasons
for distrust. lie has heard nothing
about the poor washerwoman.”
“No, and he must not—'not for ;
weeks. He has borne all that he can.” I
“His confiri nee in hi- otder brother!
is subl'tiu*. 1 do not share it; but 1
cannot help but r spcct him for it.”
It was warmly said, and Mr. Chal
lotter could not. forbear casting an
! anxious look at her unturned face
I What he saw there made him turn
i away with a sigh.
“This confidence hss for ire a very
unhappy side." he remarked. “It shows
| me Oswald's thought. He who loved
| her best, accepts the cruel verdict of
j an unreasoning public."
Do-! v" |-i eyes burred with n
! weird ligiit upon his free."
“He has tint had my dream,” she
| murmured, with ail the quiet. of an
j unmoved conviction.
Vet as the days went by, even her
manner changed towards the busy in
; venter, it vests hardly possible tor it
not to. The high stand he took: rh •
regard accorded him on every side:
his talent; his conversation, which
was an education in itself, and, abovi
: 11. his absorption in a work daily ail
vanning towards completion, removed
him so insensibly and yet so decided
ly, from tin hideous past of traged,
with which his name, if not his honor,
v as associated, that, unconsciously
to herself, she gradually lost her icy
-: ir of repulsion and lent him a more
or hss aft- ntive ear when he chose
io join their small company of an eve

• n!icipation of thft event v. hieh was to
prove him a man of men, if not one
of the world's greatest moclmnlca!
geniuses.
Meantime, Oswald was steadily ini
proving in health, If not in spirits, j
He had taken his first walk without :
any unfavorable results, and Orlando |
decided from this that the time had I
come for cn explanation of his devlo< j
nd bis r< quirements in regard to it
Seated together in Oswald's room, he
broached the subject thus:
•‘Oswald, what is your ideii abort
wh ' IT. making up there?”
“That it will be a siicwss.’1
“I know; but its character, its use?
What do you think it is?”
“I’vt an idea; but my idea doesn't
fit the conditions.”
"How's that?”
"The shed is too closely hemmed
in. You haven't room—”
“For what?”
"To start an aeroplane.”
"Vet it is certainly a device for
flying.”
“I supposed so; hut—”
' It is an air-car with a new and
valuable idea the idea for whim the
whole world liar been seeking ever
since tin first aeroplane found its way
up from the earth. My car needs no
room to start in save that which it
occupies. If it did. it would be hut
the modification of a hundred others.”
“Orlando!”
As Oswald thus gave expression to
his surprise, (hi ir two laces were a

"Precisely."

“You v.auf me to ascend with you?“
"Exactly."
“At the end of tim e days?’’
"Yes.”
"Orlando, I cannot ''

"If was.”
"You can forep it to act for you."
"I fear not, Orlando.”
I counted on you and you thwart,

Oswald smiled; his whole candid
and generous nature bursting inio
view In one quick flash.
“Pcrhans,” he assented; "hut you

"Pan you wait a month?”
“No.”
“A fortnirM,
“No, not ton flays.”
Oswald looked surprised. He would
like to have asked why such precipi
tation was necessary, hut the tone in
which tins ultimatum was given was
of that decisive character which ad
mits of no argument. Me thereto'-*
merely looked his query. nut Orlan
do was not one to answer looks; be
sides, he had no reply for the same
m port tit; ate question urged by his
own goo I sense. He knew that he
must make the attempt upon which
:is future noted soon, and without
risk of the supping influence of length
ened suspense and weeks of waiting.
He could hold on to those two demons
leagued in attack against him, for a
definite seven days, but not for an
indeterminate time. If |i . were to be
saved from folly—from himself—
events niu-t rush.
He therefore repeated his "No,"
with increased voh rnence, adding, as
i-e jnnrked the reproach in his broth
