THE MIRROR TESTS,
By CHARLES GRAVES.
(Copjrltfht. 190a, by American Pre** Alio
ciutlon.l ??
Miss Mortimer, an orphan llvln*
with an aunt, wan rich, beautiful and
otherwise attractive. At twenty-five
she began to think It time to cease
declining all the offers of marriage
that continued to pour in on her and
take a partner. Mentally passing In
review the men from whom she knew
she might pick, she settled on three ?
Arthur Emerson, a young clergyman
of the Episcopal church. Captain Win
field Dempster of the army ami Cam
erou Wood, o nobody. Mr. Emerson
was a rising man among the clergy;
Captain Dempster h:\ii distinguished
himself in the Spanish-American war;
Mr. Wood was chiefly notable for lu
(Moc#. Nevertheless he was attrac
tive to Miss Mortimer, \\hat It was
that attracted her she could not her
self tell. Ho was not hamlsomo, (hough
It must be confessed he was to the
manner born. He was not especially In
tellectual, though she was not sure of
this because he was too lazy to think.
Miss Mortimer always had friends
staying with her at her country place
In summer and decided to Invite the
three candid ah* to visit her with a :
?lew to subjecting them to a certain
test which she designed to apply. This
plan was suggested by an old friend j
of her father.
"It is said," he told her, "that no man
Is a hero to his own valet. That Is not i
true. Napoleon the Great's valet ador- |
cd him. But no man Is a hero to him
self. At any rate. If he is, he Is de
ceived. I will suggest a plan by which
yon can discover what each one of
your three candidates Is In his own es
timation. Set up somewhere iu your
house where your guests must occa
sionally pass a platonized mirror. It
is made by coating a glass with a very
thin liquid charged with platinum and
raised to a red heat. When it Is placed
against a dark surface it reflects; when ]
light Is admltttcd behind it it Is trana
parent View your candidates from
behind It In the dark."
MIsa Mortimer ordered the mirror
made and placed In the door of a cloak
closet at the entrance to her house.
Behind It was a window opening Into
a court with Interior shutters. Before It
every one entering the house must pass.
The first candidate to arrive was the
clergyman. When ho entered Miss
Mortimer was io-^king at him through
the mirror, though he could not see
her. He gave a glance at his reflec
tion and passed on with evideut self
satisfaction. The soldier came next
and deliberately paused to curl his
mustache. Mr. Wood, seeing himself
mirrored, stopped and uttered an un
intelligible grunt at his appearance.
There was not much in this, but It
was a beginning. The next day the host
ess caught the clergyman making ges
tures before the mirror. Casting a
quick glance about liim and being sat- ,
Isfled he was unseen, he dropi>ed on his ,
knees, placing the palms of his hands
together, practicing the attitude of
prayer. Yet it was evident that the
object of his worship was herself.
Next came the soldier, who, ujxin en
tering, stood before the mirror, per
mitting his feature? to relax with an
expression that was very repulsive to
Miss Mortimer. It was evideut that
some unworthy thought was passing
through his mind. As to the lounger, ;
she could get no definite information
from the mirror except that he did not
apparently consider himself a hand
some man.
Miss Mortimer dismissed Mr. Emer
son as too contemptible for further ;
consideration. One night when Cap- |
tain Deini>ster was out late she fixed
up a dummy burglar behind the mlr- 1
ror and lit a gas Jet in the closet !
When the captain came home and saw
a man pointing an improvised weapon
at him he went out the front door
and was later advised that he need not
return.
Miss Mortimer was dls|x>scd to test
Mr. Wood further. but rather from cu
riosity than as a candidate for her
hand. She sent him out one evening
and while he was pone dressed herself
and put on a mask, representing a
shriveled old woman. When the door
opened to her guest she was sitting
behind the mirror Illuminated and
looking straight at him. He stopped
short, looking steadily at the grim
figure. True to his instincts as a gen
tleman, his hand went tip to his hat.
which he had never failed to remove
In presence of a woman and which he
now mechanically doffed. There was
wonder In his eyes at seeing an old
woman where he had boon used to
seeing a mirror, but he did not seem
disposed to be shocked. Perhaps he
was too lazy. Miss Mortimer sat mute,
looking at him through the two holes
in her mask. Finally he spoke:
'"Madam, 1 wish you a very good
evening."
His Imperturbability was too much
for Miss Mortimer. With a laugh she
threw off her cloak and- her mask and
stood before him In her own person.
Then, opening the door between them,
she stepivd forth, gave him her hand
and said:
"I devised this mirror, transparent
when lighted from behind, to observe
you and two other men when you sup
posed yourselves alone. You of the
three have stood whatever of test
there Is In It The others may be fine
men toward the world. You are not a
fine man even to yourself, but you
have the Instincts of a geutlcman, and
your equanimity Is not easily disturb
ed. I shall run less risk In marrying
you than the others and am ready to
do so. Have you made up your mind
that you really want me?"
"What's the use." he drawled. "If
you've made up yours?"
"True. The exertion Is unnecessary "

[HE REBEL'S RUSE.
By EUNICE W1N80R.
tCoprrttht. 1W. by American h?M A??o
\t elation.) V
During tbe American Revolution a
regiment of Continental! were placed
In Westchester county to "obaerre" tbe
British then occupying New York.
Denton Wood worth, a bitter Tory. Uv
lng uear the patriot force, discovered
that hla daughter Bvelya and one ?f
the captains, KWerkln, had Allien In
love with each other. Woodworth waa
so horrlfled at bts daughter marry
ing a rebel that he decided to laave
his place In Weatcheeter county and
take bis family to New York city. Tbe
evening before their departure Evelyn
and Klderklu met clandeatlnely In a i
wood near the houae. then and there j
plighted their troth, and before part- |
lug arrange*! a method of correapoaO- J
ence. The next day the Woodwortb
famllv crossed the Harlem rlveB, were j
admitted wltWn the HriUah llnea and
occupied their town house near what ?
waa then and la now Bowling Green. |
It was not long after J heir aettlement
in their new <jUHrten? that Rvelyn re '
celved a letter from an Intimate friend
of hers, living near ber home In Weat
Theater county. It bad been aent In
with a number of others under a flag
of truce. Her father, thinking that the
ml wive ml flirt contain sotnewwd frw*
Elderkln, opened and read It before
giving It to hla daughter. It was writ
ten In a woman's hand and contained
no mention whatever of tbe rebel cap
tain. " >
Amelia Woodworth. a slater of tbe
head of the family, waa aa bitter a
Tory aa her brother and as deeply In
terested in breaking up tbe love affair
between her niece and tbe young rebel
captain. The evening of the reception
of the letter from beyond the llnea,
when Evelyn was in bed. Aunt Amelia
concluded to do a little dctective Work.
Going Into Evelyn's room, she asked
her If she wonld let her read the let
ter. Evelyu's heart stood atlll; but. out
wardly retaining her equanimity, she
told her aunt where to And tt, and
the old lady aat down by a candle to
rond it. After trying for a long while
to discover some code In It ahe fell
asleep. When ahe awoke the candle
had burned down to tbe socket the
letter lay near the flame scorched, and
across Its face was the fragment of j
n sentence that had evidently been
written In green Ink? "That old cat.
your Aunt Am?."
Indignation straggled with Joy at tbe
discovery for a time: Then the old lady j
extinguished the candle and atolc away 1
with the letter. Evelyn was awake
nnd saw what she did, but did not dare |
oppose her. Mr. Woodworth had gone I
out to FTaunce's tavern for a tipple ,
and to learn if there waa any news
of the military situation. His sister |
waited patiently till he returned, then ,
showed him the letter. To ber sur
prise the green letters had disappeared.
Now, the old man loved W? daugh- ;
ter. but did not get on with his sis
ter. He looked the letter over care
fully, then tokl Mills Woodworth that
she might be In better business than
In spying? that ahe had tn her mtod
* belief that she wonld make a d!?
covery and, suddenly awakening, had
seen the wrltlnjt only through her dt?
torted Imagination. Tbec he ordered
her to take the letter back to Evelyn's
room.
Kvclyn knew that something bad
hnppeued. hot what ah* was not run*,
since her aunt kept her own counsel.
Evelyn dare Dot deetroy the letter far
fear of making matters worm. 8be
left It Id her writing desk. and a few
days later, when the rain waa pouring
down and the air laden with moisture,
the old woman, rummaging In the
desk, came upon another surprise.
There was the letter, and this time It
was covered with pink letters. In
deed. she read a lore letter written
across the other from Captain Elder
kin to her niece. In which be warned
Kvclyn to beware of "that old cat,
yonr Aunt Amelia."
Taking tbe letter Into ber own room,
she sat down before a warm fire on
the hearth, laying It on a table beside
her. She was rejoicing at tbe prospect
of convincing ber brother that she bad
been right after all. Then It occurred
to her to copy the pink worda lest they
fade like the green ones. Turning to
the letter, what waa her rut prise to
(lud that tbey had already disappeared.
I>efeated again, she replaced the let
ter where she had found It. Thinking
to discover some means for bringing
hack tbo secret missive, sbe went there
next day for It, but Evelyn bad mean
while concluded to burn tt.
A month later another batch of let
ters was sent into the British line*
and among them one for Evelyn from
the same friend who bad written her
before. Unfortunately fur the lovera,
It fell into Miss Wood worth's bands.
Meanwhile she had confided her secret
to a friend, a professor In King's? ths
name waa at that time changed to Oo
[ tumbla? college. The second letter she
took to him. Re heated It and molt- '
: tcned It with no effect Then be tried |
the application of chemicals, and a j
solution of Iodide of starch brought '
out another love letter, this ttme la j
blue. I
Soon after this tbe British evacuated
the city, and Captain Elderkln marched ,
In with the patriots. Evelyn finally '
overcame her father's opposition and j
married ber lover. Then tbe method
1 of their correspondence waa explained.
The first love letter was written
with Ink mixed with gum arable and a
1 chloride of cobalt, making pink letters,
which disappeared when the Ink dried
nnd reappearing green under beat. It
ngaln disappeared under cold and be- j
came pink again when dampened. The |
second love letter was written tn rle?
water, the Ink of whleh, after beta* 1
brought out, will disappear toivrar.
