6 • • t, +4ear Kendall, Monta September 22, 1903 THE BROKEN CIRCUIT BY JOHN H. ISAFTICHT. Their friendship began in the early days of the wireless telegraphy demonstrations by Marconi. The only two of a large com- pany of grabbling students who agreed upon the genuineness of certain simple phenomena of hypnosis, mental telepathy and suggestion, Parker and Elrevoort drift- ed apart from the scoffers and commenced to knit from the tangled materials of their dreams, their speculations and their oddly different temperaments, that queer but un- alterable friendship which endured without a break till poor Parker died. They became as brothers, forever delving into cc mlt ram- ifications of science, silent, inseparable, and mutually self-eacrificing. Brevoort's room was the front half of an old loft on the fourth floor of a store build- ing just beyond the university settlement, and Parker lived in a sort of sentry -box in the tower of a flat building about a mile south in a direct line from Brevoort's place. Parker was studying law and his friend was in the junior medical class, but neither of them eared for rank or standing, preferring to pursue knowledge..along those devious, scattering trails that first lure the undisci- plined minds of all inlaginative students. Parker, who had a knack of modeling in clay, set up a sort of 'itudio in one corner of Brevoort's barn -like room, and there the two friends spent most of their indoor leis- ure, studying, smoking, chatting, experi meriting. Brevoort in time came to be a more dextrous sculptor than his friend and his room becime populous with scores of more or less artistic and accurate plaster casts. The Lord knows just how they started or how far they got into the probing. of the mysteries of mental radiations. They were in the habit of walking together for hours along the lake shore or in the park in silent conversation, so to speak, each with l.is keen mind fixed upon the other, each bent upon projecting without words sucn simp:e messages as might reach the other'. fallow consciousness. Then they discovered, or thought so, that these soundless waves of _ thought always seemed faaTravel test when exchanged while they faced each other with back to north or south. That suggested the idea of new experiments, and very soon Parker in his little dormer tower facing the north and Brevoort in the south window of his rookery were radiating short inesaagea that had no meaning beyond the undeti• able proof of all their previous suriniees. But when the coeds got wind of these weird doings they began to worry the friends. Brevoort was proof against the young women, but Parker, who was a ten- der-hearted, impressionable fellow, fell in love with Kate Caldwell, and made rer a sort of side partner in their psychical re- searches. The odd part of this was that her introduction into the affairs of the two stu- dents made no breach in their relations, and when poor Parker fell sick with pneu- monia Kate got a room in his bearding - house so that she could nurse him. Indeed, she had him moved from his draughty eyrie in the tower, placed him in her own con , bed and herself took possesaion of the sen- try box. Brevoort would relieve Kate every night and sit up with his failing friend, and be- tween them they watched buns° assiduously, lost so much sleep and fretted so much that at last they were obliged to give up all their university work and stand togetaer, a forlorn hope, against the advancing, mer- ciless intruder. Parker was quite el/v- arious for a few days before he died and to Brevoort, bending over him, he reiterated his simple wishes. He wanted to he ,re - mated; he had no near relatives, so Kate infirut have some and Brevoort toe rest of his dust. tine was to have his hooks and the furnishings of his little room' and Bre- vuort was to keep the utensils and equip- ments ot the studio. \You're a pretty good modeler now,\ whispered Parker, smiling ghastly. - Try your hand on a bust of me, take a death mask, will you He died that night with Brevoort and Kate holding his hands. His classmates carried his coffin to the furnace, and in the days thereafter when they had reverently divided his ashes they tried to make a lair division of poor Parker's miguty snare of love and lovalty for teem botu. But it was nearly a we, k after his going that they set apart tor eaca day a time w..en tney rnigat resume their experiments. Tte death - mask was done. It stood ghostiy Ifl tire- voort's closet, and beneath it. in a lin) woui- en box toe handful or asaes of their mend. Kate had taken possession of tile little sen- try box, and upon its narrow mantel stiell in a little silver jewel box lay the relies of her lost lover. The morning of the first day after their renewed efforts to exchange messages they met on the campus. \Did you get any message?\ she asked, frowning petulantly. \No he answered, looking furtively over his upturned collar; \what was it?\ \I asked you to conic over,\ her lip was trembling; \(Neer we never failed before.\ \Yes it isqueer.\ Tnen,after an awkward pause, \1 say, Kate, did you notice any- thing while you were 'ending that message? \No -o. That is, not just tnen. I had tnat little box of his ashes in my hand when I said 'come over.' .I don't know where I laid it afterward, but I can't find it.\ They were silent for a moment, but be- fore they parted he laid a nervous hand on her sleeve and said: \We'll try it again to -night at eight. This time 1'11 send the message.\ \All right,\ she whispered, without look- ing at him, and darting into the hall. But when they met again next morning and he asked her, hesitatingly: \Did you get my message, Kate?\ she looked up frightened to hear him call her \Kate and then quickly answered: \No Mr. Brevoort.\ \Did anything odd happen while you were sending your message\ she asked, let- ting her eyes stray apprehensively over her pallid face. \Yes Miss Caldwell,\ and be laughed pitifully with a note of tired mockery in his voice. \Yes a very annoying thing happened. Just as I had spoken the mes- sage there was a crash in my closet, and when I looked in the plaster mask of Parker was in bits on the floor. I think I can re- member him well enough to make another from memory, but the ashes, his ashes, too, were scattered by the fall. By the way, did you find your little silver box?\ \No she murmured, distrait and_biting her red lip for a minute before she asked: \What was your message\ They were standing- in front of the lec- ture hall now, and he watched her face for a breathless moment before he whispered: \Can't you guess, Kate\ \I might, sir,\ she answered, coldly, \but I won't.\ \Then I'll try again to -night,\ he was say- ing, half querulously, but she turned on her heel and with a farewell flash in her brown eyes sharply answered: \No Mr. Brevoort, no more messages for me, I'm afraid the circuit is broken— for gocd.\—Chicago Record -Herald. A SILENT MOURNER. Deg he a Scotland Town That Makes a Pretethee of Attestable. Ia. There is teli be seen in Carnpbellt own, Argyllshire, at almost every funeral which pacers on its way to the ceme- tery a silent mourner in the form of a retriever dog, which takes up its place alongside the front row of mourners immediately behind the hearse and accompanies the funeral party to the churchyard, only taking its departure when the last rites hate been performed. It seems to know by instinct when and where a funeral it ta take place, and it has become Filth a regular attender that its presence is looked for as a matter of course at each of these solemn processions in the burgh, says the Scottish Arm /lean. It was formerly chased away frqm the open grave time and again, to ho purpose; it found its way within the walls notwithstanding the most vigil: ant oversight, and has now overecme all opposition. Only once has it been known to turn back before reachl»g the cemetery, and that was A% hen the mourners were all traveling in close carriages. But the strangest incident in its career occurred quite recently. A special steamer arrived in the har- bor with a funeral party on board, and was met by the retriever, which took its accustomed place and accompanied it to the graveyard with the members of the public who joined it. EXHAUSTED BRAIN CELLS.' Loos of Sleep and Need of Out -Bator Rierelse Re•postelble for Many Salad's. Nerve specialists say that a great many suicides are the direct re:ollts of exhausted brain cells. When you find yourself becoming morose and despondent, when you are conscious that the zest of life is evaporating. that you are losing the edge of nor former keen interest in things general- ly. and that your life is becoming a bore, you may be pretty sure that you need more sleep, that you need country or outdoor exercise. If you get these, youwill find that all the old fntbusiasm will return. A few days of exercise in the country rambling over the hills and meadows, will erase the dark pictures which haunt you, and a ill restore buoyancy to your animal spirits, says Success.

Storing Apples In Barrels. A card is at hand asking what kind of building should be constructed for keeping 200 or 300 bushels of apples. No doubt the best shape in which ap- ples can be kept is carefully packed in close barrels. They will be less sub- ject to changes of temperature, besides occupying less room. No better store- house is needed than a good cellar or cave for storing that amount of apples. The temperature should be kept a lit- tle above freezing point. Various kinds of fruit houses have been planned and constructed, but they are too ex- pensive for ordinary purposes. Juditi Inland Transpcqation Co.
