Thnrsday. January 27, 1010 Harmony Island ; A Love Story By Dick Posey (Continued from last Issued.) Then there struck upon our ears the whir of a motor and the next mo ment the Queen stepped out beside us. "Oh Cod," moaned Rossalee, "what shall I do?" "The harmony of my realm has been distruhed by an ether blast, let me know," the Queen commanded. I pointed to the blasted 'creature in the clear water. "Ah, the octopus, I see," she grunt ed. "An evidence of the power of the wonderful fluid we have harnessed. Hut why, my daughter, my subject, have you removed the sacred marks of honored age from cheek and brow?" Rossalee hesitated. Again I Im patiently pointed to the dead octo pus. "Do not dissemble, you wondrous little creature," she said with a cold, harmonlus smile that cut like a knife, "there is but one substance that can remove them." Rossalee lifted her head. "He does not knowingly dissemble," she re plied. "I removed them in privacy and when I returned he was In the clutch of the monster. I violated you edict, 0 Queen, my mother, thati he rnkht see me as I am. that 7 mliht i him to us honestly win bis love." "And that rent on your bosom," she sneered. "Was that made for the Banio purpose?',' A crimson wave of hot shame burned for a moment on the outraged brow of maiden purity, then left her pale and trembling. Suddenly she sprang to -her feet and the iron will of the daughter crossed swords with the mother's in solent. "He did it at my request to press the harmonizer when a tentacle had my arms pinioned helpless to my Bides," she replied coldly, then tear ing the bandage from her bleeding arm she cried: "There Is an evi dence of the struggle I made to pre serve a false modesty. I am respon sible for his life as I brought him here, and I swear by the God I love and worship that I would have bid him tear every thread from my body and would have felt no touch of shame, had It been necessary to save the life I had brought by force to my side." j "Daughter, toy subject, let harmony prevail," and the Queen smiled cold ly. "My mother heart might view with leniency the sinking of your maiden purity In an effort to save one so divinely small," here I noted once more her hungry stare as she. viewed my exposed proportions, "but you are my subject as well as my daughter, and stern justice must be satisfied. We will see." We stepped Into the motor and were soon at the palace. An application of ether to my pain ful, though harmless wounds, re moved the pain and I was but little the worse for my awful experience. As twilight fell we sought our fav ored spot on the balcony. We both seemed depressed and said but little. A deep breath was broken by a trem bling sigh on her lips. "Does your arm still give you pain?" I questioned. "No, bnt my spirit seems sorely depressed. Some vague shadow seems hanging over us which I can not fathom. I can face visible danger and feel a certain exhiliration in a conflict with it, but this hidden, subtle oppression baffles and annoys e" "Remember," I said earnestly, thinking of the Queen, "that no matter what happens, my heart is yours".'-' "I know," she answered, Then I painted for her a future all glowing with dazzling happiness. The perfumed, semi-tropical twilight set tled swiftly around us and we nestled into a close and sacred embrace. For a full hour we sipped the sweet draught of congenial love. The moon arose and bathed us in her smile of ASHTiAXI) TTDIXGS Stove PolishISP ...

Of the 12,000,000 or so dwellings In the United State 0(1 per cent are pro tectedat least to some extent by Are Insurance. But of our 100,000,000 lubabituiits only 13 per cent have tak en out life Insurance policies. Men seem to bo more uneasy over the luera possibility of the burning of their bouscH tluiu over the stern certainty that death will some day overtake them. This Is a strange contradiction In human nature. To safeguard tlio nation's material possessions Is well, but bow uiucli more valuable than tho homes are the human lives of tho country! In tills iit;e, when the priii. clples of life Insula nco are so well un.lei'sloiul, there should lie no sueli discrepancy between the number of lniuie.i and of lives insured. In many.

She divined her punishment and my heart felt like lead within me. "Jacob Jones," the Queen contlnu ed," I have decided to make you the Queen Consort of our realm. At the end of ten days I will espouse you In marriage." The blow had fallen. Of course, I had been duly warned, nevertheless it pierced my heart like a Btray bullet. Rossalee lifted her bloodless face to her mother's stare. "Have you ceased to love me, moth er, that you can rob me of all of life's Joy." "Tut, tut, child, don't be Billy," laughed the Queen.

The bas-rollef, which is in the "mod era sty'e," being of the school of Ito din, Is a noteworthy example of the present tendency In sculpture, whl. h Is to keep tlio relief as low ns possible The relief on tlio medallion of Miss Anthony Is only one-fourth of an Inch high. The picture Is that of a thought ful idealist, with Just a suggestluu of the uneonnueriible tiro which shone out through the bold personality of the great suffrage leader. As a compliment to the National American Woman Suffrage association, of which Miss Anthony was president from 1802 until her death In 1900, Mr. Jacobs has had cast a second copy of the bas-rcllcf, which was formally presented to tho national association during its forty-seventh nnuual con vention In Washington Dec. U to 19. Mr. Jacobs Is well known ns a por trait painter, having executed many commissions for titled Europeans dur ing his stay abroad. How to Ride. In riding sit erect ami don't slouch along.

In cleaning any fabric with gasoline or similar fluid It sometimes happens thnt a ring Is left around the garment In process of cleansing. To prevent such a ring It Is recommended that by adding common table salt to the gaso line used spots can often be removed from delicate fabrics In a most satis factory manner. If. however, a ring has been left the place cleansed should be wet again and Immediately covered while still damp with fuller's earth, extending Just beyond the ring. Let this remain on for some time, and when brushed off the spot should have disappeared. Gypsum may be used In like manner Instead of the fuller's earth If preferred. The Lyrs Biro). The fully developed malo lyre bird is one of the most handsome and nota ble of tlio forms of bird life of Queens land. The contour of the bird, with Its long neck and stout gallinaceous feet, is by no means unlike thnt of a peacock, and tho wonderful tall, pos sessed only by the male birds, fulfills corresponding role of vnlu display. Tho bird executes antics for a train of female admirers on a raised earth en mound. For a short period of the year, about January, the lyre bird loses Its characteristic plumes and has to be content with the sober phmiago of its mate. Internal Portraiture.
