In BliciM' loneliness lie hnd turned lu early and lay staring lit tlie stars aud Hitting telegraph poles hour after hour. Ills month of vacation at the old homo had been a disappoint ment. Tlio Texan much would bo good, ho thought. Ills foreman would bo glad to seo him, and bo would his puppy, and yet, alter all, there wns no one who really cared. "nniig It," ho inunnured as he toss ed back Into tlio net his raat v.!;:ih o sudden slewing of the train had thrown violently into his face. "Hung It, I wonder why on oarth Betty Allls had to tako December, of all months, for a pleasure trip west the one nionlli out of flvo years Unit might hnvo given me chance to see her and know her again. I wond" There wbb sudden darkness. Wilton found himself groveling on the car floor. There was the maddening senso of the helplessness with which In a nightmare one lights for breath and space. With fearful momentum, with grinding, tearing and upheaving, the car rolled halfway to Its side, seemed to Blldo down and down, then, with a violent shock, stood still. The ghastly sllcuco Unit succeeded was as appalling as the uproar had been. Wlitou lay Btlll for a moment, waiting for ho knew not what. Then he crawled to his feet, gathered his clothes from the opposlto section and rapidly dressed himself. "Wonder what's happened," he thought breathlessly. "Gee, smell that gas!" And ho started toward the roar of the car. As his hand touched the stateroom wall nt the end of tho nlslo a girl's voice rang through the car, "Porter, porter, I'wlsh yon would come help mo out." Wilton stopped. "Gad, she's cool, anyhow," ho thought as ho listened for the porter's response. None came. The odor of gas was filling tho cur. Ho iSESf llB OAVH A OHAT OABP OV ASToK- lBumRTR leaped to tho opposite Window and kicked out a paue, letting ill a flood" of cold air. Then us quickly as Its angle JHJUld permit lie dashed down tho aisle to the other berth. 'JpA mo, BeTp you, madam," he, Bald. "The porter bus deserted us." "I seem to be In a sort of well, my berth Is bo tilted," answered the girl. "If you could Just lend mo a hand." In a moment a girlish form wns standing beside him. "Aro we killed?" the asked, her voice trembling a little In aplte of its brave tono. "Not yet," nuBWorod Wilton, "but we'd better get out at once. The gas tanks are leaking." Together they groped down tho aisle to find tt brnkcmnn forcing his way In to tlio Avr'eckiigo at tho end of tho car. "Any one hurt In hore?" he OBked, flashing his Inutorn In their faces. "The porter didn't stop to see." "All safe," answered Wilton. "What's IbetroulilB'" Woman's Trials. Tho bitter trail In a woman's life Is to be childless. Who can toll how hard the struggle may havo been ore she learnt to resign herself to hor lonely lot? Tho ab eenco of this link to hind marital life togolhor, the absonco of this one pledge to mutual affection ts a common d Is ap point m out. Many unfortunate couples bocoino ostrunged thoruby.

To thorn the largest famflydocs uotseem too numerous.

And be led tho way up to the steep embankment down which the train had pluugod, tlion trottod off down tlio track, leaving them alono bo side tho tungle of trucks and rails that marked tho path of Die wreck. Wilton picked up a forgotten lantern and for the first time turned to look at the girl whom ho had rescued. Then ho gavo a great gasp of astonlshincnt. "Betty Allls! Where on earth!" "Jack Wilton! Where" The two stood silent lu a hearty baud grasp. Suddenly Jack fell to trembling, and for a moment a paulc seized him. "Betty Allls," ho repeated, Vto think that souio ono that I knew and that I knew was In this catastrophe and so near death! It makes mo It makes me" Hero Betty broke the tension with a trembling little laugh that was nono tho less merry. "But wo aro both snfo nnd sound, bo what's to worry us? Let's find out where wo both enmo from nnd" Then suddenly she became sober. "Klrst, lot'B go aeo If wo can bo of any use lowu there."

Wo can't uolp," ho said, "and you aro shivering with the cold. I'm going unek to get your coat and my traps and youra. Then wo will make a camp here on tho hank." A fow minutes later found them toasting before n brisk little fire that Wilton had kindled, whllo over In the east low streamers of pink silhouetted tho dull outlines of n mining village. "Shall wo try to find shelter In the town?" naked Wilton. 'Oh, no," answered Betty. "Let's wait hero." Wilton spread his hands contentedly to tho Haines, while ho stared so intent ly at tho girl opposlto that her eyes wavered. Yes, It was tho same Hetty of live years before yet not tho same Betty. She of live years before had been a child of eighteen. The woman of twenty-throo beforo him was tlio fulllllmeut of all tho earlier promises of loveliness. Wilton's heart boat more quickly as ho looked nt the glowing sweetness of Iter face. "Betty," ho said abruptly, "Betty, why havo you never written me all these years?" Betty looked nt him quickly. This firm, clear cut fnco was different from tlio Jolly boy's features sho had re membered, nnd there was a new, Im pelling quality In his tones that slip rather liked. Because, Jnck," she nnswered slow ly, "because you never wrote mo." "Oh, but I did," ho replied; "three different times!" I never received the lotters," she said. "Yon might havo known that Aunt Jnno would take care of that." Wilton walked up nnd down rest lessly half a . dozen times and throw some sticks ou tho fire before stopping lu front of tho girl. "And now," he continued, "would you mind telling me why you sent uio nway from you five years ago?" 'That was not Aunt Jane's . fault. Jack," sho Bald eagerly. "Indeed, yon muBt not blnmo her for that. , She could pursue hor own methods, but sho never C5"J3 JnOuenco mo In my 6wn imrnosos." , "Thank heaven Hot" tluttl" liitorrupi- ed Jack grimly, "Yon Bent ino awfly.

"And now," he snld, a little hoarsely, "seo how useless It wns, for you don't know what tlio years have done for me, and you nro flva years grown away." Betty rose slowly and looked into bis donr, dark eyes. Sho looked nt tho fine, firm mouth, the clean cut tanned face, the straight, strong alertness of bis figure. Sho spoko slowly and softly. "Yes," sho snld, "wo did not write to each other, but," hero sho smiled n little, "your fnco tells mo all that I want to know." Jack took an eager stop toward her. "And does It tell you that I havo loved you always, loyally, for the long five years?" Betty's volco trembled a llttlo. "Yes, Jsck, It" But tho rest of hor reply was lost In Jnck's arms. Imagination, Ho visited tlio tomb whero his be loved was laid. Carrying n lighted candle and kneeling by her coffin, he exclaimed passionately: "Woukl could dlo! Would I could dlol" Just then tlio wind closed tho door and ex tinguished tiro light Tlio bereaved lover who hnd just prayed for death rushed to tlio door. Ho could not open It. He tore at It, knocked, kicked, struggled, calling loudly for help. No answer, only the utter silence nnd dark ness of tho tomb. His wish to dlo was forgotten. Ho snnk down and wept. His tears wero not for his beloved, but for himself. Ho felt pangs of hunger. Tie thought of his enudlo and cut It Into four parts. He nto the first quarter the first day, the second tho second day, tlio third on the thiol, tho Inst qnartor tho fourth day.

And every day after tho gentle laaies wero gone tho night enmo down nnd the lanterns were lighted, nnd the red flare from paper covered windows was flung hi gaudy patches across the black tunnels of myriad streets. Then came tho men tourists, blundering, nenvy footed nnd curious, avid for strange degeneracy where only the cynicism 6r a thousand yenrs laughed nt them with sllont lips. Under tho gathering can dlelights and smoking lanterns In hun dreds of shndowed rooms the hives of yellow men sluuk silently about, mark ing their tickets ior me inniau guiues, listening to tho music of the heaps of brass tokens that flowed onto tho bare deal tablos from big canvas bagB, slip ping away silently to solace themselves for their losses witn uie iumes irom the hissing onlum Dill that Is such a very present help to stoical philosophy.

And when tho trippers with tneir truidos woro gone tho tired Chinaman turned him to his Joss and the hiddon vices of a thousand years.

Dlacovery of the Metul, According to VnrlouM AuthorltlcM. The Bible speaks of Tubal Calu as the discoverer of Iron nud the futhei of smiths. The Egyptians imputed tc Hephaestus tho same honor, whllo Pli ny mentions It having been discovered by Dactylcs ou Mount Ida after the forests on the mountain side had been destroyed by llghtnlug. This wns about 1,432 years B. C. Jeremiah and Eze kiel both mention iron in their Scrip tural writings, the latter specially men tioning two qualities of the metal and calling ono bright iron, which was prob ably stool. Moses mentions nu Iron furnace, and Job speaks of it as being taken out ol the enrfh. Thousands iff years before the opening of the Christinn era the Egyptians used irou in making sickles, knives and such things. - Sparta first used iron for money. Britain also used It as a medium of barter and exchange prior to the conquest by the Itomans. The Britons before the time of Christ used to export Iron to Gaul, and after the Itomnn conquest tlie conquerors es tablished extensive smelting works, which existed nt least as late as the Saxon conquest.
