HIS MANLY BEAUTY By WALTER EMMONS B.'-KXXS Copyright by A iihtk .t n Press Asso ciatii'n. I.'ll. At tvei,ty-two I l:ed in a city and in a rear room U of tlie house were yards just deep enmili fur clotliesiini's and then (lie rear of Oilier houses. Hue day while looking out of my window I suiv u girl sitting pensively at u window of u bouse iktoss I lie yards Sim was doing something with lier liands which 1 inferred to I." knit tins, though It was done liciir.uli the Kill, so that 1 could not lie Mite She was looking down pensively, but whether her eyes were lient on her work I could not tell. I was struck with her regular features and. above nil Willi an expression of sadness tli.tt seemed inappropriate to a young face it doesn't require much to set a young man's fancy Hying, though by (Ids 1 do not menu to belittle the pic ture to which I have referred. I saw lier about the same time everyday and fell to dreaming about her. The fuel of love Is Imagination. A youngster Is attracted to a girl not for what she Is. but for what Ids fancy paints her. And girls are still more apt to endow u man with noble qualities find love Mm for llicni. It was In the summer time, and when I came home from business ev ery day at (I It was still very light, nnd every day lit that hour I saw the girl opposite Killing In the same position Since I stood right up before my own window it was impossible that she should not Have been aware of iny presence there. Occasionally she would turn her face outward, but I could not see that her eyes ever rested upon me. But I remembered that n pure girl would not gn.e upon a stranger-certainly not when he was look lug tit her. Kvery day on entering my room after my return from business I dressed for the evening, making myself appear ns attractive ns possible, then threw open the shutters with ns much clatter ns possible that I might attract the nt tendon of the gtr) opposite. Hearing the sound, she would turn her face In my direction, but only momentarily and without any look of recognition. This I put down to her native mod esty and parity. Hut I remembered that there was a young man opposite, nnd It occurred to me that If she con sidered that young man especially good looking she might fall in love with him. for this was not only my theoretical basis of love at that time, but I si)w no other way of attracting her. 1 spent some time discovering the young lady's name, then wrote her a note couched in as manly and respect ful terms as I knew how. I had no thought of making headway by what 1 wrote, but I must open communica tion, and In doing so I wished to give the girl an opinion of me commen surate with the admiration, If any, that she had for my personal appear mice To make a long story short, I receiv ed u courteous reply to my note, the young lady stating that, though she could not consent lo a correspondence with a stranger, in case 1 could tind means of making myself known to her through a mutual friend or other wise, should my position and character prove satisfactory, she would be hap py to have me call upon her. The day 1 received this note 1 spent wome time before my mirror wonder ing that the girl should have found such attractiveness In it as to cull forth so favorable a reply. I set my w its to work to discover some mutual friend to Introduce me; but, having recently come to the city a stranger, I knew very few people. Himlly I wrote another note lo the girl I ad mired, stating the case and asking permission lo furnish references. To tills I received a reply that she would not receive calls for a few weeks, but If after the expiration of. (hat time 1 was of the same mind she would be happy to receive me. Those weeks were the longest of my life. From Sunday to Sunday seemed like from month to month. After three Sundays had passed 1 dispatch ed a note asking If 1 might be per mitted to cull. 1 received a reply giv ing l lie des'.red permission that day week When after the sending up of my card Miss Markley came into the room where 1 awaited her what 1 es pecially noticed was that she looked lit me as though she had never seen me before and was curious to know what sort of a looking fellow I was. Having received uie with ti fair amount of cordiality, we seated our selves, aiut she said: "I will explain why 1 put you off mi long. It was necessary. 1 had learned who yon are, and the delay was not because the report 1 had of juii. for It was very flattering. I he truth Is that I was born blind L'util a couple of weeks ago I had never seen rniy ohjivt It was rccctu Iy de ide.i by several ( uiNts in coun sel Th.it an operation should be per fon::ed in my eyes with a view to opetdti up a world to me That opera tion has been eminently successful. You have mentioned in your notes h iving seen me at my window. I have never seen you till this moment." That was the last of reliance upon my manly beauty to win a sweetheart. I married Miss Markley. but I won her not by my good looks, for she says that I am rather homely than hand some. Salem's Leading Dry Goods Store, Is the Chicago Store I He Knew.

Even before It had been adapted ex clusively, by means of special lens construction and combination, to the I reception of the Invisible ultra violet I rays, the camera eye, owing to its pe ! culiar sensitiveness to this light, has j played a strikingly dramatic role on j various occasions. One of these oc- enrred a few years ago in Lausanne, : Switzerland. j It appears that a handkerchief ! formed an exhibit at a murder trial and was regarded ns a crucial bit of 1 evidence. The closest Inspection failed I to reveal a stain on the Immaculately White cloth even with the aid of a powerful microscope. Hut it occurred to a professor of Lausanne university to photograph the handkerchief, when the Image obtained clearly disclosed the presence of great splotches, or, rather, of what had been such, show ing ghostlike In the carefully washed fabric The photograph proved the turning point of the trial, and the re sult was conviction lilood, as was scientifically explained ot the time, happens to be one of the substances that absorb ultra violet rays, nnd when any of these substances have found their way to a receptive surface no amount of erasing or cleansing can hide Its presence from the camera eye When the latter Is equipped to utilize only this Invisible light the result is much more marked. Should the neatest erasure be made In writing done with substances specially absorbent of the rays the ultra violet photograph would show the traces of the erasure as plainly ns the writing Itself.
