History lias shown the Inherent
weaknebs and falseness of the theory
that would defend a despotic govern-
ment. Despotism makes slaves of the
masses; political and industrial slaves;
it establishes caste and protects the
few in privileges which make them
unnatural "nobles," dehumanizes and
degrades tiie "common rank and file."
A representative government has the
same defect in that it permits the del-
egated governing class to enrich them-
selves at tho expense of the masses,
and gradually establish themselves as
the rulers nnd arbiters of all ques-
tions. In exchanging a despotism for
a republic we have simply asserted a

According to a German techulcal
journal, Dr. Von Welsbach, the invent-
or of the incandescent gas lamp, haB
discovered an improved filament for
electric lamps. This he appears to
have found in a filament of osmium,
one of the rare metals, which, be-
sides being the densest of all
metals, Is the most* refractory, be-
ing infusible at any except
the highest attainable temperatures.
Osmium is found native as an alloy in
certain ores of platinum and iridium.
It is a hard, bluisb-gray metal, with
an atomic weight of 191.1, and the
enormous specific gravity of 22.477, tho
heaviest substance known. So far as
can be Inferred from what has been
published, the experiments of Dr. von
Welsbach go quite beyond the employ-
ment of a naked osmium filament,

That evening, as luck will have it,
when the children come In to dessert,
their father begins to question them as
to their conduct.
"I hope you were both very good
children this morning?" be says, help-
ing each to a plentiful supply of straw-
berries.
"No, pa—us wasn't berry good," falt-
ers Meg, with downcast eyes and burn-
ing cheeks.
"Dear tne that is very sad, Meg!"
says Robert Champley, with a laugh-
ing glance across the table at Ted.
"How did you misbehave yourselves?"
"I didn't know tree times four." re-
plies Meg. looking deeply abashed.
"That was extremely wicked of you,''
says her father smiling.
"And, now that Meg has made an
open confession of her sin.-, we must
hear your enormities, Mr. Bobby,"
laughs his uncle. "How did you offend
Miss Wilden?"
Bob heaves a profound sigh.
"I did somefink dreadful," he says
In a low .shamed voice.

looking intensely amused. "Come—out

"Good gracious—whose hair?" asks

"Miss Wllden's," explain Bob. much
f the use of the alarmed at the sensation his announce-
have paid their | ment had created.
"You young villain!" exclaims his
uncle. "What Induced you to attack
a lady like that?"
"I didn't attack her," says poor Bob.
en, the verge of sobs. "1 Just pulled
out her pins for fun. when she was
setting my copy. an<> then all her hair
tumbled down on the carpet."
"Not all." hastened to explaly Meg—
"only a lot of It."
Ted Champley is sci/cl with a ft0-«
lent fit of coughing. whVh sends him
over to the window for relief, whilst
his elder brother as suddenly develops
a cold, which necessitates a vast
amount of handkerchief play before
he speaks again, then he says quietly
to Bob—-
"That was very un^ntlemanly of
you. and If I hear of your being rude
again I shall punish you."
CHAPTER V.
This threat from his usually Indulg-
ent father has such a depressing effect
.in Bob's spirits that he makes up his
mind to eschew temptation for the fu-
ture.
"Miss Wilden won't love you if you
doa't behave like a gentleman," con-
tinues the father severely, as an appro-
priate ending to his reprimand.
"Us don't love Miss Wilden," herte
Interrupts Meg with great dignity—
"she Is a nasty cross old ting."
"Nonsense, Meg!" says her father,
placing his hand under her chin and
smiling down Into her eyes. "If you
don't love Miss Wilden. I am afraid you
must be a hardened little wretch, for'*—
with a dreary sigh—"alas, she is only
too devgted to you!" •
Meg fhakes her head in an unoom-<
prehendlng way, and repeats, with a
determined little pout—
"Us don't like her—us loves Sell."
"Yes, us loves dear Shell," chimes
in Bab eagerly. "She tells us lovely
stories."
"My dear misguided children, your
affection for Miss Shell is decidedly
misplaced," here interrupts their uncle,
returning from his post at the win-
dow. "She doesn't like boys and girls
at all."
"Not like little hoys and derls?" re-
peats Meg. quite taken aback by such
an extraordinary statement.
"No, Indeed—in fact she gave me to
understand that she almost hated
them," repeats Ted, much amused at
the children's look of horror. "So I
strongly advise you not to waste your
young affections on such an unrespons-
ive object."
The warning, being clothed In words
beyond their understanding, makes no
Impression on the children's minds,
but their strong preference for the
younger sister strikes their father forc-
ibly, and he catches himself nsurmur-
ing more than onco in a wondering
tone—"I's lores Shell; us loves dear
Shell!"
After that It often hnppens th%t Ru-
l^. under some trifling pretext or other,
§hifts the burden of her self-imposed
task on to Shell's young shouldera—
she has a headache, or is busy, or has
letters to write; and then Shell, taking
pity on the poor children who arc
sure to have a rough time of It If Ruby
Is disinclined for them—devotes her
morning to their instruction and
amusement.
She bribes them to be good at their
lessons by the promise of a romp in
the grounds when their task is com-
pleted; and so It happens that Robert
Champley, chancing to drive over him-
self to fetch them on# late June morn-
ing, comes upon an unexpected and to
him a charming sight.
On a moss-grown mound at the front
of a copper-beech sits Shell in a dark
print gown, with fler bright hair coiled
around and around with daisy-chain .
which the children's busy fingers have
been weaving, whilst she tells them a
wonderful tale from Fairyland.
So engrossed are all* three that they
do not become aware of the intruder's
approach until he has descended from
the trap and walked quietly to wlthfn
a few paces of their resting place; then
a shout of "Papa, papa!" from Meg
rouses them all from their Ideal world
to a realistic one.
Shell starts fron^ her lowly seat,
crimsons to the very roots of her hair,
and puts on as forbidding a look as she
can well assume.
"Oh, pa. It Is so jolly; you come and
listen, too!" cries Bob, eager that his
father should participate in their en-
joyment. a"The princess is shut up in
a dark room, because her wicked god-
mother won't allow her ever to see
the sunshine, and the prince Is keeping
guard outside her tower with a carriage
and six, to carry her away to an Island
blazing with light If he gets the
chance."
"Rather trying fcr her eyes, won't
it be? I should be inclined to recom- j

her small figure up to Its fullest height,
tries to look exceedingly dignified. Her
efforts are somewhat marred by the
daisies so profusely twisted around hsr
head; but, as she is happily forgetful
of their presence, they do not trouble
her.
"Sell, dear, she didn't have blue s-
tacles, did she?" cries Meg, shocked at
such a very unromantlc sugq Mon.
"I don't know, I am sure,' responds
Shell in a tone of cold Indifference.
"But oo does know," ci lei Mi8 •• ai #

skirts In her anxiety to have th doubt

"I am afraid my children are weary-

rather stiffly. But I have just come
over to ' tb- tn :•

quiet is to tell them stories," say*
Shell blifntly and ungraciously.
"1 um very sony that you "should be
put to so much trouble, particularly as
you dislike children." remarks Mr.
Champley. with a curious and rather
satirical glance at her flower-decked
head.
"Oh, It doesn't matter!" ansv
ShelPeondcs; endingly.
"Now then, young monkeys—If you
are ready we may as Veil sftut," he
says, pointing to the trap whlch#is e It-
ing in tiie avenue. "I am going to tak
you for a drive right around by the
sea." .
"Take Sell too, pa," pleads Meg,

Jumping with delight.
"With pleasure, If she will only con-
sent to go." is his ready answer, whilst
he thirts an ;unr-.<

"No, thanks—I hate driving," re-
sponds Shell curtly.
"You seem to have a great many de-
testations. Mlsrf Shell," rays the gen-
tleman sarcastic ally
"I have," Is Shell's laconic answer.
"Well, then, since we can't persuade
you to accompany us, wo may as well
start. Come children!"- and, making
no efTort to shake hands, he raises his
hat politely.
A latent fear that she has been in-
hospitable assaila Shell.
"Won't you go up to the housed"
she asks almost eagerly.
"No, thank you -since I have been
fortunate enough to meet with the

"Good morning," answers Shell stiff-
ly, and quite Ignoring the two little ;
faces that are turned up to her for a ,
good-bye kiss.
"Papa, is us xaughty?" asks Meg j
as she trots over to the trap beside her |
father. ' *
"I hope not. Why?" he demands j
absently.
"Cause Shell didn't kiss us," an- !
swers Meg in a wondering tone.
"Kiss, you!" repeats her father,
laughing. "She looked far more likely
to bite."
But, all the same, as he makes the
assertion a memory of Shell as he first
came to her, with sparkling eyes and
smiling lips, and the two children
kneeling beside her, rises before his
mental vision. •
"Well, have you got Hd of those
little torments?" asks Ruby languidly,
looking up frem her book as Shell en-
ters the room.
"Their father has just come for
them," answers Shell shortly.
"Their father—oh, Where Is he?"
erles Ruby, starting 'from jier chair.
"I want to consult him about Bob's
writing; and I must speak about the
nurse; I am afraid she Is npt very
careful—Meg's hands were quite dirty'
this morning. Where Is he—where did
you leave him?" •
"He is down by the sea; I didn't
leave him—he left me," answers Shell
drily.

.CAREER OF JEAN RICHEPIN.
lie Is the Ilero of ii Number of Strange
Escapade*.
M. Jean Richepln, the author. Is
probably the hero of a greater number
of strange escapades than any of Hi#
French contemporaries of equal emin-
ence. Innumerable stories are told of
his early vagaries. For a breach of
the regulations he was "sent down"
from his Lycee. He remained, how-
ever, in the neighborhood of the col-
lege, and, strolling Idly about the
streets next day, his eye lit upon a
peripatetic veryler of fried potatoes,
and in a moment of inspiration he
purchased the whole of the stock and
paraphernalia of the merchant. He
then took up a post just outside the
Lycee gates, affixed to his movable ap-
paratus a notice of huge dimensions
describing his academic and other
qualifications, and shouted to all his
late collegiate friends to patronize
their old pupil and fellow-student.
"Two sous a packet, gentlemen; buy,
buy!" To say that the authorities were
scandalized is to put it very mildly,
indeed. The story of how he came to
adopt a literary career Is sufficiently
picturesque. For some time he had
picked up a precarious livelihood by
doing "odd jobs," Including such pro-
saic occupations as that of bootblack
and casual porter on Qua! Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle-
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station
