PART II.
• The conversation seemed to be as
miming a rather personal trend, and
' he hastened to take advantage of it.
Y Almost before either of them realized
- it, they found themselves exchanging
confidences as to their views and
opinions; and she met his with a sym-
pathy and understanding that he had
never found before—or since— in any
woman. The situation was 'so piquant,
so thoroughly delightful to both of
them that they wanted to prolong it,
and they both felt a shock of surprise
that the time had passed so swiftly,
when the 'girl, with a sudden start,
called attention to the fact that the
moon had almost sunk and in a very
few minutes they would be in entire
darkness.
"We must have talked two hours,"
she said guiltily. She gave a musical
little giggle. "Talked to a burglar In
the dead of the night two whole hours,
attired in a blue negligee!"
"Does its being blue make the mat-
ter any worse?" he inquired flippant-
ly.
• "It's really not a joking matter,
i after all," said she, sobering a little.
!{ "It's almost pitch dark in here now,
i and you honestly must go right away."
I He moved a little nearer.
"And not see your face?" he asked
in a low voice. "Can't 1 light the gas
just once—just for a minute?"
"No, no! Please!" She caught his
hand as it went to his pocket for a
match. .
"Why not?" he begged. "Just one
little glance! I know you're pretty as
a picture. And this talk with you
has been so wonderful—it's meant so
much to nee" His voice sank to a
tone that many a woman before the
blue negligee girl had found danger-
ously seductive. "Can you 'blame me
for wanting to see you? For wanting
to carry the memory of your sweet
face with me?" • • .
R'fo!'i said the girl in an agitated
voice. "I don't mean 'no' to the last.
question, but to your request. I don't
want you to see my face any more
clearly than you have or to know my
name or—or—anything! And I don't
want to know anything about you,
either. This has been wonderful to
me, too. I've always had such a hum-
drum, . ordinary kind o£' life; and I
want this to seem always a mysteri-
ous, exciting, wonderful adventure. It
will spoil it if I know your name and
exactly how you look. Our futures
can have nothing in common. You're
romance—and mystery for me, and
I want you to stay that way."
Stirred by the excitement in her;
low tones, the perfume from her hair
and her silken negligee, and, most of
all, the unusual situation, he felt his:
pulses throb. Her speech, too, ap-1
pealed strongly to his own sense of
ronmanceand advIn.ture. He drew I
nearer and laid his hand over -hers.
"I must go then?" he murmured
plaintively, "without—" But he did
not say what it was he must go with- i
out. He had been drawing her slowly'
toward hien as he spoke ancl, finding!
that she did' not resist, he ended his
sentence with a kiss.
"This is good-bye," she whispered;`
and she put her arms around his neck
suddenly and gave him back his kiss.

being, shattered all his plans and fox.
all;time crippled his life's happiness.
Marjory was killed in an automobile
accident. The blow was so sudden and
his loneliness and grief sa complete
that it was weeks before the bereaved
husband gathered strength to go
through her papers. It was a task at
once sweet and sad.. He found all the
let .rs he had written do her before
their marriage, tied with the tradi-
tional blue ribbori,'in a drawer of her
'desk which was dedicated to her
special treasures. He remembered
that she used to say laughingly that
her desk was the one thing in the
house that was really hers. She never
allowed any one to use it. Near the
letters he found a little cedar box
about which he had sometimes teased
her—she had kept its secrecy deter-
minedly inviolate; end he now opened
it tenderly, feeling sure it contained
various little trinkets of their court-
ship and their children's babyhood.
She had been such a perfect wife and
mother!
That he would
find any relies of a
past to which he did not belong never
occurred to him. She had told hint
before they were married that she had
never had any other sweetheart or
even fancied herself in love with any
other man. Thus, with no forebodings,
he lifted the lid of the little box she
had treasured so carefully, and smiled
with a sad satisfaction as he saw a
tiny baby shoe and 'a little white baby
cap: He took th-ern out tenderly and
1 the tears sprang to Itis eyes when he
found underneath then/ a little kodak
picture of himself and a pressed
flower—also a memento of him. Other
hings he found, all -marking some
, phase of their married life or of the
development of their children, and all,
to him, deeply touching.
At the very 'bottom of the box he
discovered a small rag•of silk and two
slips of paper. On one was the date
of that long ago night when he had
told her that he loved her and had
won her confession of love in return;
and underneath this date was written:
"Love came to me to -night." He lifted
the paper to his lips and looked at
the other slip. The date on this one
was August 5, 1880; beneath, in his
wife's delicate hand, he read: "The
most wonderful night of my life."
August 5, 1880!—a fuII year before
she had even known him!
His first sensation of shocked in-
credulity was succeeded by a throb
of jealousy. Why had Marjory never
told him of "the most wonderful night
of her life"? Who had helped to make
it so memorable? The record had
stayed unchanged even after the sec-
ond slip was written'= -•even after he 1
had told her that he loved her. What r
;
did it mean? Did Marjory, too, have
•a past of which he knew nothing? Inti -1

saw that the sick ivas a faded blue and
he read, on a scrap of paper pinned

' the Diamond
How 'big Is a one -carat diamond? l
Perhaps the . best way to answer
that ciuection is to say that a pound
of diamonds represents exactly 2j270
carats.
A cubical box two and one-half inch-
es be diemeter .will bold just that
ciu.antity of diamonds. Nino pounds
of diamonds will fill a quart measliro,
Diamonds wore never really 'found
in quantity until the South African
deposits were opened •up, at Ktmber-.
ley. Nearly all of the world's supply'
now comes from thet source: It costs
$9 a carat to produce the stones, for.
which you must pay $200 to $400 a
carat, because the output is controlled
by a single British company, the'"I3ar,
Hato crowd," of hitch Solomon Joel
Is the head.
The South African diamonds are
found in volcanic "pipes"—that is to
say, in conduits through which long
ago molten metal flowed out from the
bowels of the earth, This material
contained considerable carbon, which
was crystallized out by the enormous
heat, forming diamonds.
The South African diamond diggers,
in .order to obtain less than a pint
of diamonds, are obliged to handle
enough material to fill 12,000 of the.
largest coal cars, or twenty-four train-
loads.
To get one pound of diamonds (2,270
carats) a washing plant at ItimberIoy
must treat 14,500,000 pounds of rock.
The deepest diamond mine at Kimber-
ley has attained a depth of more than
half a mile, and there is no sign of ex-
haustion of its wealth in precious

Waves Not SoHigh .
Almost every one, upon seeing the
ocean for the first time, is conscious
of a feeling of disappointment—it is
not nearly so impressive as he had
expected. This is largely due to the
fact that story -writers and poets have -
made such free use of the terra "waves -
mountain -high." As a matter of fact,
waves, even during the heaviest.
storms, are not nearly mountain -high,
forty feet being an •exceptionally high
wave for the north Atlantic during
severe gales, and waves twenty feet
high making very rough water. In
times of calm weather the waves
which break upon the shore will not.
average more than two or three feet
in height, and if the sea is very smooth
they may not be more than from six
inches to a foot high. When tb.e waves
are running three feet there will be
considerable aurf, and bathing ' is
most enjoyable when the waves are
about two feet high.
The roughness of the ,sea, so far as
ships are concerned, depends not so
much. upon the height of the waves as
upon the distance between, wave
crests. If the waves are very•long it
does not much matter what their
height, as the ship will move up and
down Iong, easy grades; but if the
waves are short the ship will plunge"
and pitch. Waves are rarely less' than
a. hundred feet front crest to crest,
unless the sea in extraordinarily chop-
py, and may be any distance up to a
half mile, when great swells are run-
ning after a heavy storm.

Big Doors of St. Paul's.
Tens of thousands of Londoners
pas„ daily the biggest pair of one-piece
doors on earth, and do not know it.
The doors in question are "at. the
west entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral,
and the reason. why they are not, no-
ticed mare than they are is that, ex-
cept in the hot summer weather, they
are nearly always closed.
There may be larger doors, but not
all in- .one piece Iike these. Each of
the two leaves , is of solid oak, they
-stand about thirty feet high, and their
weight is enormous.
They are, built without a nail, the
various crosspieces and panels being
held together by means of bronze
bolts, with, bosses at each side. • The.
doors are nearly as old as the cathe-
dral itself, and have upon them the .,.,o,
initials of the barpenter who made N
them. Tho hinges are, of coarse, im-
mensely maselste, the main pairs. at
, top and bottom being deeply sunk into
the solid Portland stone of - which the
