we do so confidently, believing that we have over-

against wire fences in the past. It iscomposed of
any desired number of galvanized steel:wires, placed
at a suitable distance apart, upon, which are • placed
two- half-inch half -round steel bakii, one on each side
of the wires, with groove betWeeri to fit tightly on
the Wires, and bolted with four bolts holding them
firmly together and preventin the wires from slid-
ing up or down. It is also 'ar anted that the 'actions
of -heat and cold in expandin . add contracting the
wires are thoroughly controll d y tighteners, and

aathe last day of the old year when

Mrs Marmont went to the despised din-

handsome. When she entered .her aunt's

softly draped white gare, such as „ was

too, at seeing Mr. Lester. , She looked for
just an instant as if he were a ghost, and
then she took his arm', wg g_V.Ix.;

"Bore me? You don't re ember 'no as

• Mr. Lester did not dance He devoted
'himself to whit with anoie t and nervous
partners: Mrs. Marmont never played
whist, and she danced cage y for awhile
with young OGUS1110 and ol uncles, but
she lost her interest in that xerois.e early.
Perhaps it was too frivolous to suit a bud-
ding deaeonness. She sat down at typiano
11.1 an aloovo away 'froin all Itho company
and softly played bits of ld melodies.
Lester tnrned his head and listened to the
faint sound of a "song without words"
till an indignant partner sternly recalled
him to business. Mrs. Marmont and her
father were among the first to leave. • She
came up to Lester just after the new year
began, looking very stately and yet very
kind and put out a straightforward little
hand. I

out, as she lay in the dark, she began to
sob like a little lonely, famished child, and
the gray winter dawn was creeping into
the room before the sobs sank into long
quivering sighs, that did not break the'
light slutnber that at last blessed her.
• The next day Lester was standing list-
lessly at h dub window. Ho had tried to
talk to his mother that morning about the
probability of his again leaving her, and
that lady had, first impatiently and then
• plaintively, refused to listen to any such
suggestion. As he stood there Mrs. Mar-
mont passed.
Lester's face flushed and paled. Ho
turned from the Window. He called a cab.
"Drive where you like for ton minutes,"
he said to the cabby, and at the end of
eight he told him where to go, and pres-
ently the cab drew up in front of one of
the old fashioned, luxurious houses of
North Washington square,
"Mrs. Lindsay," said Lester when he
was shown into.the presence of the white
haired, bright eyed old lady he had come
to see, *a friend lie had known from his
childhood, "I'm not going to beat about
the tins'''. I'Ye come te ask you some-

"Sit demi. Once I'd have thought it
must be an offer of marriage; now I sup-
pose you've come to decide some wager ac-
cording th my memory of anolent history."
"No but have conle because you know
everything, and because you are so dis-
creet. This is it: Whore -no! Who did
LindaMars ont marry?"
"Which L nda Marmont?"
"‘ What! here are twfa? reat Joye!"
Lester only reathed this apostrophe. It
was as if he • ad not strength left fur vocal
effort.
