At midnight Saturday the 150.000 eleetrie lights of the Alaska - Yukon - Pacific exposition were extinguished, dosing the prosper ous life of the world's fair of 1909. which, from every standpoint, was more successful than its most xealons friends had dared to hope. The final moments of the fair were as dramatic as its beginning on June 1, when 40.000 people gathered at the natural amphitheater and waited for President Tart's signal. The last day had been devoted to saying good-bye. The sun shone bright, the flowers were never more beautiful, and the whole ex position looked as new and fresh as on the day of the opening. The attendance was large, and. while the carnival spirit possessed the young, there was sorrow for the passing of the Dnu:ant show. The exercises of the closing hours be gan at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon with a display of Japanese fireworks. ibe exposition band paraded from building to building, serenading each. The United States Government building was reached at 5:30 o'clock, its da:!v closing hour. A cornet sounded "taps' and the band played "Auld Lang Syne." The flag was hauled down, the l.fe-saving crew on Lake Union fired 21 guns, and the buildings' doors were locked. At night a great throne of people as smbled at the natural amphitheater, lieside LakeVashington, and listened to a classical concert by a band which played waltzes for the frivolous and . hop:n s funeral march and other som ber pieces for the sorrowiug. At 11:30 o clock the exposition officials and em ploye8 marched from the Adniinistra tion building to the amphitheater to await the stroke of midnight. On the stage, Josiah Collins, chairman or the committee on ceremonies, pre sided, and spoke briefly. President J F. Chilberg made an address of thanks aud farewell, and exactly at 12 o'clock opened a switch that " darkened the whole fair. A single bugler blew "taps." and then in darkness, but for the stars overhead, the vast audience sang "Auld Lang Syne," accompanied py tne nana, lne street lamps were ngntea ana the people went home. kju .ue ray :treaK tne celebration was noisy, but orderly, and closed with fireworks, the last pieces being "Good -ignt, ' irood-Bye." rEEEEB WAS ONLY AN EDTJCATOB Sought Bevolution Only in Education, Say His Friends.

Mrs. Savtlle U a wealtiy. self-willed woman. whose Imperious nature brooks no opposition She really be lieves that her money will buy ber not only luxury and ease, but power. She thinks that power will enable her to sain and iruide those about her to her own wIU. but she finds that there Is something that gold will not buy, namely, love. In a most Interesting way the ro mance tells how her son. Hugh Sa- rille, marries the g'.rl of his choice against the wishes of his mother. She turns him from her home and he is sent to war. His wife determines, during his absence, to win the love of the selfish mother. Under a false name she becomes engaged as the companion of Mrs. Savllle. The s:ory of her trials, ber patience, her humiliations brings out the nobili ty of her true nature and perfect womanhood. Day by day she wins the love of the lonely old woman, whose false pride and wasted wealth sink Into nothingness in the final reconcili ation with her son. and this charming romance ends in a happiness that has been well and worthily won by a most captivating and worthy heroine. CHAPTER L Mrs. Sayville had stayed unusually long In town, and, at the moment cho sen to open this story, was sitting at the writing-table In her private room, a richly-furnished ana luxurious apart ment with yellow brocade curtains and stalneJ-class windows. She was a small, slight woman, with regular, del icate features, quick, dark eyes, and hair nearly white, combed back and surmounted by a tiny cap of exquisite lace with a tuft of scarlet velvet rib bon. The small thin hand which held her pen was loaded with rings that Cashed and glittered even In the sub dued sunshine, while the other gently caressed the head of a small, silky, pearl-colored dog which lay on a chair beside her. She was speaking with a fair, large lady about her own age. who occupied an arm chair at the other side of the table, and who was rather gorgeously attired In out-door dress. "I am sure I Interrupt you. Ton are always so busy," said the Utter, with a comfortable snitle, but showing no Inclination to move. "I do not mind being Interrupted this morning." returned Mrs. Savllle, not too graciously; "my eyes are very tiresome. They smart so when I read or write for any time. I reallv mil at get an amanuensis." Is It possible? I should never sus pect your eyes of being weak. They" seem strong enough and sharp enough to sse through anything." "Thank you; they have served my purpose well enough." "When do you leave town?" "I am not quite sure. I do not care to go until Hugh returns. He ought to be here now. This scare about trouble with Russia may bring him his ap pointment to a shin nv rf,. v ought to be on the spot. He has been astore now for nearly a year."

I dont understand how tt was he did not do so before on his own ac count." "Oh. nobody knows where Everton Is to be found. He Is eoming to us In September at Herondyke." -Lady Olivia Lumley's carriage," said Mrs. Savtlle to the man who an swered the belL "Good morning, then, dear Elisa beth. Dont try your eyes too much. Shall we meet yon at the Montgom ery's to-night?" "No; I am really sick of society." "My dear, you must be seriously 111?" cried Lady Olivia, with another good-humored but -rather silly laugh, and the sisters-In-law shook hands, and parted. Mrs. Savllle picked up her little dog and took a turn up and down the room with It under her left arm, a look of extreme annoyance Quivering In her eyes. "What a fool that woman Is she murmured to herself; "not even a well-bred fool! and to look at her. who would Imagine she was the daughter of one earl, the sister of another? yet there she is, started by the mere acci dent of birth In a position which cost me aU my fortune, my aristocratic marriage, my brains, to achieve. StUl, I do not complain; had these class dis tinctions not exlBted. there would have been nothing to strive for, nothing to attain. Still. Lady Olivia is a fool; you are a wiseacre to her, my pre cious Prince," she continued, patting the dog's head; "you are a natural aristocrat; so Is Hugh, though he has some abominably radical Ideas. Here the footman opened the door, and said, deferentially, "If you please, 'm. Mr. Rawson would like to see you," 'Tea, certainly. Show him up." In a few minutes the door again opened, to admit a gentleman, a short, stout, well-dressed man, slightly breathless, and apparently well braced up In his admirably-fitting clothes. His hair and complexion were of that neu tral tint which Is termed "pepper and salt." his eyes light gray and twink ling with a perception of the ridicu lous, and his air, though It was po litely respectful, showed a certain as sured familiarity Indicative ot a con fidential position. "Well. Mr. Rawson," said Mrs. Ba- vllle, resuming her seat and placing her small favorite on the chair beside her, -what has brought you here to day?" Her tone was considerably more amiable than It had been to her pre vious visitor. "What win, I hope, give you satis faction. I fancy we win succeed In getting that piece of the Everton prop erty you have been so anxious to pur chase, for your price, and it win be a decided bargain. I am to see the vendor's solicitor finally on Thursday, when I fancy he win come In to our terms." "I am very pleased, Mr. Rawson, ery pleased Indeed. I must say, you always manage my business most sat isfactorily. But you say several farms on the property are unlet Now. I want my money to bring me In a de cent percentage. What do you pro pose doing with the land?" Where upon solicitor and client plunged Into an animated discussion. In which Mrs. SavUle proved herself to be a shrewd woman of business. "Well, Mr. Rawson." she said, after a short pause, "respecting a smaller matter, yet not an unimportant one. Have you made any inquiries about an amanuensis or companion for me?" "I hardly thought you were serious In the wish you expressed " "I am. exceedingly serious," she In terrupted. "My maid, who has Just left me, was really a very superior person, and could read aloud very weU; now I have a totally different woman. I must have some one who is fairly educated, who can write, and keep accounts, and read French I like French novels; she must be fit to asso ciate with, yet ready to leave me to myself at a nod: I cannot be hampered with any one whose feelings I hare to consider. She must have pleasant man ners and a sweet voice, and look fit to be seen at luncheon and when she comes out with me." "My dear madam, you have Indeed me a task!
