The object f Blckford's affection was Miss Maid;i Tibbetts. a young girl who was staying at one of the less pre tentious hotels. It was more quiet and comfortable than the caravuusary where Bickford was staying, and Miss Tibbetts' mother, an Invalid, was with her. and the house was better she may have another attact at. -fitted for such a person. Nevertheless any time which may prove fatal. trow appearauces there was no money ., , , , In the Tibbetts family.

M. Hewitt has been trying to mop his well up to get after the oil. Mr. Hewitt discovered a very strong flavor of oil on his well water, but the source proved to be no great mystery, as a leak in his oil can and the law of srravitv told ihe girl the facts, Probably she would nave mainea him for what he had done had It not been for her repugnance to the treat ment lie baa received. "These modern ways of doing busi ness." she said, "are execrable. As soon as a mean man has established a successful business he capitalizes It. This gives him a bud of directors, to whom he pretends to ue respousmie. for board that he was opulent when in reality he was without any income whatever. Bin In his affair with Miss Tibbetts he found at least a temporary mental relief from his troubles and bad no heart to break with her till he was obliged to. When his $:iK) was spent, excepi enough for his railway ticket home, he found himself In a po sition to make an explanation. He lie school system, and a keen, progressive business man. His interest in the education of the boys and girls of. his town is e idenced by his personal sacri- fic 3 in giving up his private busi- with a probable opening through ' the earth, caused all the trouble.

He had $:5U) In bank at home, which, with some funds of hers, would last I hem for sev eral months. Bickford saw that she favored the plan of being married then and there, and. with many mis givings, be consented, lie had come away Viithout any income with which to support eveu himself. He went back with a wife requiring-so he con sidered it a far greater Income than for one. ; Mrs. Bickford after tbe marriage in sisted on remaining a month longer In Florida. Her mother needed to stay there aud would stand the additional expense. The young wife did a great deal of writing and received a number of letters, with the contents ot which her husband was not made acquainted. When the extra month had passed they all parked their trunks aud went back north. Tbey arrived In the city in the morn ing of Jau. 1. Miss Bickford sent her mother home In a carriage, while she and her husband remained In the busi ness district, where they breakfasted. After breakfast the young wife told her husband that she had a position for hi;u and would make the final ar rangements before going home. She led the way and stopped at the build ing where he had been employed. "What does this mean?" asked Bick ford. "Take me to the president's office." "But this Is New Year's morning. He will not be here." "I think he will." Bickford led her to Mr. Tlnkbam's private office. True enough, tbe presi dent was there, evidentlr waiting for Their Motion It Caused by Csrbonio Acid Gas Evolved by Contact With the Liquid Acid Th Cleansing Proc ess In a Journey Over the Eyeball. The druggist took a small bottle from a drawer and emptied from it a few tiny objects that looked like flat, round bits of polished bone. lie pick ed up one and handed It ovei for In spection One side of It was marked with numerous coucentrlc grooves. "That is an eyestone." said the drug gist. He poured a" tablespoonful or so of liquid out of a bottle Into a saucer like dish and diluted It with water "And this." saiil he. "Is a weak solu tion of lime juice." The druggist took one of the eyestones and placed It In the solution. Presently It began to move as If it were alive. It made Its way slowly about in different direc tions lu the liquid in n mysterious manner "That strange movement of the eye stone." said the druggjst. "when plac et In a wenk solution of lime juice or vinegar has given rise among ignorant nnd superstitions people to the notion that it has life and that it loves vine gar aud loves to swim in it above all things. But there is no more life In an eyestone than there Is lu n paving stone. It. is composed of calcareous material and when placed in the solu tions named is made to move about by carbonic acid gsis. hieh Is evolved by contact with the liquid add. "These little st s and all genuine eyestones once were the front doors, so to speak, of l lie shells of a little molluscous animal that lives along the South American east coasts. The shell of that little creature Is a univalve. This calcareous formation Is on Jhe tii -end of the tfiollusk. and when It draws Itself Into Its shell to escape danger or go to sleep the end, of course. Is (he last part that Is drawn Into the cavity or mouth of the shell, where It tits so closely and Is so bard that It affords perfect protection to the animal against Its enemies from without. "The natives collect these little raol lusks In large numbers ltir no other purpose than to secure the eyestones, as we cull them, and they hold them in great awe. believing them to pos sess supernatural attributes. Sailors on the vessels engaged In the fruit trade with those regions obtaiu the stones from the natives and bring them here for sale to the wholesale druggists, and there was a time when the demand for them generally was quite large. "There Is nothing better to remove foreign substances from the eye than one of these South American eye stones. which use is what gives them their name. Many people think that before using them it Is necessary to put nietn In vinegar 'to give them life,' but It is not necessary at all The stone is Inserted at one comer ot the rye. with the grooved side uext to the lid. The pressure of the eyeball forces It to move altout In the eye. aud the grooves collect ihe foreign matter and retain It. After makiug a thor ough circuit of the eye the stone will come out at the corner next to the nose. No Inconvenience Is caused by its presence. "There are other eyestones. In the head of our common crawfish there are two little bones, just back of and beneath the eyes, whlcb resemble the South American eyestoues, about tbe only difference being that they are smooth all over Instead of grooved on one side. These crawfish bones are known as eyestones and are used as such In the west, but they have none of the virtues of the real eyestone j Their proper name Is crab stones. Id Toland aud parts of Hussla quite a ! trade is found in the collecting of ! these crab s'tones. The crawfish are taken and btirled In deep pits, where they are left to die and rot.
