During the ensuing pause Mrs. Reap took occasion to call Speed aside. "I have something to contribute to the training-quarters if you will help me bring It out.” said she.

"What is it?" “I have been trying to get a word alone with you ever since I heard ‘about this foot race " The young man chilled with apprehension as Mrs Reap turned her dark eyes upon him •aarchingly. “Why do you want to run?” “To win back the cowboys' treas ure My heart is touched," he de clared. boldly. Mrs Reap smiled. < “I believe the latter, but are you sure you can win?" I “Abso-blooming-lutely." “I didn't know you were a sprin ter." Speed shrugged his shoulders. 1 “Have you had experience?" t “Oceans of it!” Mrs Reap mused for a moment. “Tell me.” said Bhe. finally, “at what inter-collegiate game did you run last?" "I didn't run last; I ran first." It ■was Impossible to resent the boy’s smile. "Then at what game did you last run? I hope I'm not too curious?" “Oh no, not at all!” Speed stam mered. "Or. if it is easier, at what college games did you first run?” Mrs Reap was laughing openly now. "Why the clear, riuging. rippling laughter?" asked the young man, to cover his confusion. ""Because I think it Is very funny.” ■"Oh. you do!” Speed took refuge be hind an attitude of unbending dignity, but the young widow would have none of It “I know all about you,” said she. “You are a very wonderful person, of course; you are a delightful fellow at a house-party, and a most suitable in dividual generally, but you are not an athlete, in spite of those beautiful clothes in your trunk.” “Who told you?” ■ “Culver Covington.” “I didn't know you two were ac quainted." Mrs Reap flushed. “He told me all about you long ago You wear all the athletic clothes, you know all the talk, you have tried to make the team a dozen times, but you are not even a aubstitute. You are merely the Var sity cheer leader. Culver calls you “the head-yeller.’ ” “ColumbtfS has discovered our con tinent!” said Speed. "You are a very wise chaperon, and you must have a corking memory for names, but even a head-yeller is better than a glee-club quarter back." He nodded toward the bunk-house, whence they had come. ■ "You haven't told anybody?” "Not yet.” "‘Yet,’” he quoted "The futurity' Implied in that word disturbs me Suppose you and I keep it for a little secret? Secrets are very delightful at house-parties.” "Don't you consider your action de ceitful?" * “Not at all. My motto is 'We strive to please.* ” “Think of Helen.” "That’s it; I can’t think of any thing else! She’s mad about athletics, and I had to do something to stand off this weight-lifting tenor.” "Is it any wonder a woman distrusts every man she meets?” mused the chaperon. "Helen might forgive you, I couldn't" “Oh, it's not that bad. I know what I’m doing." “You will cause these cowboys to tone a lot more money.” ( "Not at all. When Culver arrive*—■“ “Oh, that is what I want to talk over with you." Mrs. Reap broke in. nervously. “Then it isn’t about the foot race? You are not angry?” Speed brightened amazingly. “I’m not exactly angry; I’m sur prised and grieved. Of course. I can't forgive deceit—I dare say I am more particular than most people." “But you won't tell?" Mrs. Reap in dicated In some subtle manner that she was not above making terms, whereupon her companion declared, wa/mly: "I'm yours for life! Ask me for my watch, my right eye, any thing! I'll give it to you!" "1 assure you I sha'n’t ask anything so important as that, but I shall ask a favor.” "Name it and It is yours!" Speed wrung the hand she offered. "And perhaps I can do more than keep silent—although I don't see what good it will do. Perhaps 1 can help your suit” "Gracious lady, all I ask is that you thrust out your foot and trip up Berkeley Fresno whenever he starts toward her. Put him out of the play, and I shall be the happiest man tn the world.” "Agreed." "Now, in what way can I serve you?” Mrs. Reap became embarrassed, while the same shadowy trouble that had been observed of late settled upon her. “I simply hate to ask It," she said, “but I suppose I must. There seems to be no other way out of IL” Turn ing to him suddenly, she said, in a low, intense voice: "I—I’m in trou ble, Mr. Speed, such dreadful trou ble!” "Oh. I’m so sorry!” he answered her, with genuine solicitude. "You needn’t have made any conditions. 1 would have done anything I could for you.” “That’s very kind, for I don’t like our air of conspiracy, but"—Mrs. Reap was wringing her slender hands—"1 just can't tell the girls. You—you can help me." Speed allowed her time to grow calm, when she continued: "I—I am engaged to be married." "Felicitations!" "Not at all," said the young widow, wretchedly. “That is the awful part of it. I am engaged to two men!” She turned her brown eyes full upon him; they were strained and tragic. Speed felt himself impelled to laugh immoderately, but Instead he ob served, in a ton« to relieve her anx iety: “Nothing unusual in that; it has been done before. Even I have been prodigal with my affections. What can I do to relieve the congestion?" "Please don't make light of IL It means so much to me. I—I’m in love with Jack Chapin." "With Jack!" "Yes. When I came here I thought I cared for somebody else. Why, I wanted to come here just because I knew that—that somebody else had been Invited too, and we could be to gether.” “And he couldn't come—" “Wait! And then, when I got here, I met Jack Chapin. That was less than a week ago, and yet In that short time I have learned that h« is the only man I can ever love—the one man In all the world.” “And you can't accept because you have a previous engagement 1 see!

"I think you must be exciting your self unduly,” said he. “Jean’s other friends didn’t come. There's nobody due now but Culver Cov—" “That's who It is!" Roberta raised her pallid face as the young man fell back. "Culver! Great Bcott! Why, h«’s engaged-” “What!" "Nothing! I—I—" Speed paused, at an utter loss for words. “You see, he'll discover the truth. *'Do«a ho know you ar« her«?" "No. I intended to surprise him.

"What do you think of our decorations?" she In quired. "They are more or lees athletic," he declared, "Was It Mr. Speed's idea?” “Yes. He wanted training quarters.” "It’s a joke. Isn’t it?" “I don't think so. Mr. Fresno, why do you dislike Mr. Speed?” Fresno bent a warm glance upon the questioner. "Don't you know?" Helen shook her head with bland Innocence. “Then you do dislike him?” "No, Indeed! I like him—he makes me laugh.” Helen bridled loyally "Did you see those medals he wore yesterday?" the young man queried. "Of course, and I thought them beautiful." "How were they Inscribed? He wouldn't let me examine them." "Naturally. If I had trophies like that I would guard them too." Fresno nodded, musingly. "I gave mine away." "Oh, are you an athlete?" "No, but I timed a foot-race i once. They gave me a beautiful nearly- bronze emblem so that I could get In to the Infield ” "And did you win?” "No! no! I didn’t run! Don’t you understand?

"Athletics don’t do a fellow any good after he leaves college. I’m go ing into business this fall. Have you ever been to California?” Miss Blake admitted that she had never been so far, and Fresno launched himself upon a glowing description of his native state; but before he could shape the conversation to a point where his hearer might perchance express a de sire to see its wonders. Still Bill Sto ver thrust his head cautiously through the door to the bunk-house, and al lowed an admiring eye to rove over the transformation. "Looks like a bazaar!” he exclaimed.

Wind an even number of layers on the bolts, so the upper end of the wire can be brought aut through the washer at the nut end. Fig 3 shows the core with the coil completed. If you now connect both ends of the coll wire to a battery, as a test, you will find that the bolt has become an “electro magnet." The two electro-magnets connected at one end with a metal “yoke” form the One end of a horse-shoe magnet, horse-shoe magnet attracts and the other repels, and in order to make one i "positive” and the other a “nega tive pole” the winding of the colls must be done in opposite directions— that is, the winding on one must be lone clockwise, and that on the other counter-clockwise. Make the yoke out of a strip of tin I inch wide and 3 Inches long, and with a nail punch holes through It 2 Inches on centers, large enough for the magnet bolts to stick through (Fig. 4).

Fold the sides of tho piece over onto the middle portion (Fig. 8), and then fold the sides of the hammer end □ver the hammer wire and pound it down until it holds the wire securely. Punch a hole through the opposite end of the armature large enough for a small screw, and screw it at this point to a small block of wood (A, Fig. 8). Then fasten block A to the base block In the position shown in Fig. 2, with the armature exactly parallel to the magnet heads and about 3-16 inch away from them. and a zinc pencil, and a carbon from a worn-out dry battery, for the sine and carbon elements.

London’s Best Donkey. Bill has just been declared tho best donkey of the year In London, at the People’s Palace, In the East end, when he had to compete against 250 other donkeys. His master is a butcher in Walworth. Bill was declared to be all that a donkey should be—well groomed, carefully "manicured” as to his hoofs, and his inclination to cor pulency was accounted in his favor rather than against him. At once ho secured the cup, a silver medal, a set of harness (given by Our Dumb Friends league, which organized tho show) and a silver watch presented by Lady Shaftesbury. Bill, It was de clared, has little, If any, of the ob- stinato characteristics of his species. He "shakes hand«,” is very sociable, walks into his master's dining-room, takes lumps of sugar from the table, and (if nobody is looking) will appro prlate a joint of meat or any other small Item of that sort which may be left unprotected.
