And, at last, came the date of the twins’ birth, and, a f»w pages farther on, that of Lady Blanche's death. But between these dates was something that Philip bad not yet heard. ", . . And the l-ndy Blanche, being very weak after her long travail, was sorely spent, for she was a female elegantly formed, but not sturdy, or of sound health. She lay In great pain, and ever and anon she sunk Into a ' stupor from which none could rouse her. nor did she regard my exhorta- I tl»n, nr the lamentations of her af flicted husband. But suddenly she did ! speak In u loud voice, laying.

Philip closed the book, shivering, and angry and ashamed because he > was shivering. That silly old super stition—what did it umount to ' But —had It amounted to anything? He began. Involuntarily, to recall the his tories of other members of the Man- i nlng family.

In a duel with the man who had once been his best friend. The lawyer. Moses, had a daughter named Blanche, who went west In a prairie schooner on her honeymoon, and was never heard of 1 again nfter she passed the Alleghenies. And the lawyer’s eldest son had a daughter who— hut that story was too dreadful, and contained shame as well as tragedy. Feeling as If his throat were being clutched, and as If he could not shake himself free of the hand that choked him, Philip sprang to his feet to see an apparition stand ing In the doorway. Rlanche also had been spending her time that rainy morning by making an excursion Into the past. Her moth er had felt It a good opportunity for them to go through some of the chests carefully stowed sway In the attic In search of treasures to add to her trousseau and they had found a tiny Iron-bound trunk, thrust far un der the eaves and forgotten, full of the countess' clothes: Blanche had carried them down to her bedroom and tried them on. They fitted her aa If they had been made for her. "Couldn't 1 keep one of them on, and surprise Philip?" "I think It would he lovely! And you can do your hair like hers in th« portrait, and wear that white brocade 1 dress that she had It painted In—you'd he the living Image of her!" Accordingly, after a careful study ' of the famous picture Blnnche did her hair, with Violet's help high on her head powdered It laced herself Into the stiff, magnificent gown that had been the countess' wedding dress, and went out to Join Philip The startled, almost terrified cry that escaped him when he saw her frightened her almost ont of her senses. She ran to him. and put her arms around him. trembling, too. "'Vhat Is It?" she exclaimed "Oh. Philip! What's the matter?" “Nothing—nothing. . . .

"I'm not up set.*' he said pleasantly. “You startled me. a little, that's all. You're— you're enough to startle any man. you’re so lovely. I want a kiss—and I want to consult you about something. . , • And then he told her of his scheme for fixing up the little office. To his surprise, she did not respond to Ytlm with enthusiasm.

Lead in Practical Use Since History Regan Lead Is on» of the oldest known metals, and many o f Its present uses bare persisted through the centuries. It was evidently well known In Bibli cal times, for It Is mentioned In Ex odus and several other places In the Old Testament In the days of the pharaohs It was used to glaze pottery, to make solder and ornamental ob jects. Old lead pipes also have been found In Egypt. In ancient India women used red lead aa a cosmetic; the metal Itself was used for weights of all kin d* for purifying silver, as a charm and as an early monetary me dium. The hanging gardens of Baby lon were floored with sheets of lead soldered together to retain moisture necessary to vegetation; Babylonians used lead also for caulking purposes and to fasten Iron bolts In the ma aonry of bridges, dams and the like. The ancient ("haldeana of Persia were the first to associate the meta la with the planets, and their synitxd for lead Is the same as that for Sa turn. In 20UU E.
