THE ROOM OF THE PURPLE RAY By DON MARK LEMON iifi ay Short scurf pak. to 1 Fnl' It uiotith after the salt wave had laid at tils feet the cold form of bis l.ove, came the new that Herbert Muuson was the posseKsor of a startling secret. He bad, It whs slated, discovered, a Purple Hay that would wither and de stroy certain human cell of memory without Injury or (lunger to neigh boring cells. This rumor wa fol lowed by the ailll more amazing re port that Munson had erected the Mansion of Korgetfulness, to which all who would free their minds of a hopeless pussloii might repair, and In one brief hour, forget. And, sure enough, here they came those who loved not wisely, but too well, those who loved deeply but hopelessly, and those who loved the dead and could endure the grief no longer and the I'urple ltny "plucked from the memory It rooted unuw" and they went forth frmn the Man sion of Korgetfulues unnntrrcd and fnnry f ree. ' Tel be who showed others how to forget would not himself forget. It was agony to know that she was dead, and bo would never ace her face again, yet be shrank from forget ful ness a the soul shrink from oblivion. Try a be would, he could not drsg himself from the haunted halls of memory, though he remembered that the world without was "wonderfully fair, anil other women, perhaps a lovely as she, were waiting there to love and be loved. Not I,et others for get, he would mdl Not that be lived In hope, for bed he not kissed the salt foam from her dead face? Hut that memory was all that remained of a l.ove who was no more. He watched them come and go watched the mnny, ah, too many, pil grims arrive with sorrowful, love baunted faces, but depart with uncon cerned, carefree looks, and at times he feared that hi philanthropy wss a sacrilege. There seemed something un holy In this sudden transmutation of grief Into gladness thl swift throat ing aside of their own free will to forget a hopcles passion, and they could now return whence they came and love a join, more wisely If lea deeply. Koine came, thinking to blot out other memories than thnt of a hope- leas love memories of sin and crime but the I'urple May would not be thwarted to such base purpose, and they left, abashed and disappointed. It wss In winter, when the snow waa changed to crystal a It fell upon the walla and cornice of the beautiful marble edifice, or piled Itself In drifts of sifted diamonds against the stained glass windows, when a lady came alone across the vales and entered the broad gateway of the Mansion of For gelfulnesa. Something in her manner perhaps her agitated hesitation at the portal moved the master to accost her. -Kind friend," he said, "were It Hot better to remember what you now aeek to forget V As he poke he drew closer jhout his face the cowl he wore to conceal hi Identity from the merely curious. A elgh was the only Immediate answer, as the pilgrim leaned wearily against a maibl pillar. Then came the low spokeu words; "Perhaps I may only half forget. I would remember, yet not remember so acutely." "No, you will wholly forget The Purple ltny la ohllvlon Itself." "Ah. welt, better I kill these pain ful memories thun break my heart 1' "Then, If It must be o, enter snd forget." "Show me the way snd let me go quickly," was the plea of the veiled lady. "I have come fur, and the wont la only a few steps farther on." "Come, then I" and the master led the way to the room of the I'urple Itay. An hour passed, when the door wn opened and the veiled visitor came forth nnd descended the broad stair way. She moved quickly and lightly, nnd nt the foot of the stairs she laughed musically as she again met the master. "Have you forgottenr he exked. "Forgotten! I know that I have for gotten something, else why am I here. yet I do not know what I have for gotten." "So they all snyl" A flush of roay light shone from a slender window overhead, haloing the pilgrim like a snlnt. "How beautiful everything Is!" she exclaimed. "Why do I wear this veil! I will no longer!" So saying, she loosened It, discing lug a face young and exquisitely fair, The man shrunk back as If pierced by a bolt. "My Clod, It Is her spirit!" he gasped. "No, no!" protested the visitor. sin not a spirit, and I feur I am too, too human." "Tou are Morellal" whispered the mnn, staring before him like one peer ing through Intense darkness. "I ntn.

"Home fishermen once found me on a snndy bench, where they sutd I had fainted. Who are you?" The tuun draw back bis cowl Look!" There was no light of recog nition In the other's eyes. "My Ood! the Ruy ha blotted out all memory I" "1'ruy tell m what you mean, and let me go," came the passlonles words. A groan was the only reply, and the man hid hi far In his hands. "You seem to know what t have for gotten. Has It aught to do with you 7" "O Morella, It were better that I thought you dead than to know that you have forgotten I Do you not recall our betrothal?

Has the Itay blotted out every fair memory! Have you returned to life only to forget ! Try to think, dearest : Do you not remember that day In Naples when we pledged eternal love for each other?" I remember no betrothal." A deep look of pity came Into the speaker' eye when she saw the pain her words had censed. "If remembrance I so sad, why do you not also forget T "My love!" he groaned, "you are milking the world darker to me than to dying eyes I Ton ask me to forget ! l'ou 1" "Tou forget that I have forgotten."

'As a matter of fact, Indian recog nized neither Individual ownership of land nor the tribal right of permanent transfer. A man might put any un occupied land to personal use, and It waa bla by virtue only of such usage; but If he once abandoned It for any reason, or failed to cultivate or otherwise use It, It reverted auto matically to the tribe. "We often hear of this or the other tract of land having been 'purchased' from Indians by the colonists for a song. Noteworthy among these In stances I the Island of Manhattan, w worth untold billions, that wa 'bought by the Dutch aettler for a handful of gew-gawa; but there la no doubt that, a In numerous other ciisc. tbe Manhattan Indian believed that they were merely permitting the white settlers to live- among them snd that the trinkets were merely a token of friendship." Fir$t Aid for Wound t Burnt paper bss been suggested ss a quirk 11 nj easy sua clean reineny for first aid to the Injured. Tbe first principle In flrst sld to the Injured Is to find a remedy quickly. A short time sgo Sir James Csntlle caused some astonishment by explaining that a dressing of burned paper for wounds was one of the cleanest and easiest to use. This may seem an odd sort of remedy, yet, after all, nothing Is wore natural, for burned paper, al though black, I clenn, since It has been thoroughly purltled by Intense beat. Many Instructors advocate this In preference to a pocket handker. chief, but providing the handkerchief Is fresh from the liundry the inside folds may be used with equal safety.
