The bail has the sum of e1 los. Cd. to

@'No, you needn't do that Stay and

So Stubbins put on his big overcoat
and went to see if he could find an open
restaurant on Cottage Grove avenue.
Half an hour passed and he did not
return.
When another half an hour had gone
by Gilmore, Hudson and Dibble began

,Stnbbins was tall, muscular young

A MAGNIFICENT TOMB.
The Gigantic Mausoleum Erected by tn
Roman Emperor Hadrian.

The Gigantic Mausoleum Erected by tn
Roman Emperor Hadrian.
The Roman Emperor Hadrian, who
was born A. ID. 76 and died in 1873, with
the resources of the world at his com
mand, was no exception to the rule of
his times. Not content to have created
on the banks of the Anio the most mag
niticent rural home that human imagi-
nation could conceive of, he looked fur
ther into the future and planted gi-
gantic tomb in waiting for his remains
on the borders of the Tiber, and in the
very heart of Rome itself. 1t is per-
haps one of the best preserved monu-
ments Of antiquity. This is owing as
much to its circular form as to it's
strength and solidity for, like the Pan
theon and the tomb of Cecilia Metella
on the Via Appia, it presents no salient
points that the gnawing tendencies of
time can seriously act upon.
1t was erected about the year 13O A.
d., by Hadrian, though really not com
pleted until the reign of his successor.
Antonius Plus, who removed the re-
mains of Hadrian from Puteoli, where
they had been temporarily deposited.
1t subsequently became the sepulcher
OF the Antonines, and of many of their
successors down to the time of Sep
timus Severus 1t is nearly 900 feet
in circumference and 1865 feet in height
Its base is square, the sides being $50
feet in length. The thickness of the
external walls is about so feet. The
earliest writer who has described it Is
Procopius, who speaks of its condition
in the sixth century, before it had been
despoiled. According to his account it
was entirely faced with Parian marble,
and the circuit of the summit was
adorned with magnificent groups of
statuary. These were, during the sub.
sequent invasions of the Goths, torn
from their pedestals and hurled down
upon the heads of the beseigers as
weapons of defense.
1t is now, and has been for many
centuries, known as the castle of ST.
Angelo from the tradition that, during
the pontificate of Gregory the Great, in
AID. 590,when a solemn procession, bear.
ing at its head the picture of the Virgin
Mary, said to have been painted by ST.
Luke, was taking place for the purpose
of averting pestilence then prevailing
in Rome, the Archangei Michael APP
peared, standing on the highest point OF
the fortress, which was colossal fine
cone in bronze, and in the act of sheath.

plague would be abated = ST Louis

/ Two Men Get Very Close to Cheap Dim
ner, But Paid u ST cable Bill.
Men who have travelled all over the
world are saying that some of the table
d'hote dinners in New York are the best
they ever found. 1t is fact that in one
small and secluded cafe such repast is
served for one dollar as no man not
versed in the delicate art of cookery
could ever select for himself. One of
the greatest gourmets of the town re-
Gently went into raptures over this
cheap and delicious dinner, and told all
his friends that they must not miss it.
One night he met two acquaintances
from out of town, and, as he was unable
to dine with them, he gave the address
of the restaurant where the table d'hote
was served, saying they must go there
by all means. The two strangers started
up town together, stopping in on their
way atvarious art galleries where pictur-
esque appetizers We're freely disposed of,
and finally arriving at their restaurant.
To the waiter one of them said that
they did not wish to see any bill of fare,
but they would trust him to serve a
first-class dinner. 1t was indeed such a
one in every respect, and the diners
uttered blessings upon the friend who
had sent them to place where the best
of viands were so cheap. The claret
was surprisingly fine, and it put the
friends in such a glowing mood that
they resolved to go into a little extra
expense by ordering bottle of cham
pagne. After cigars were lighted, one
of the men called for the check, and, as
his eyes fell upon the addition, look of
CONSERVATION spread over his face. HG

so, non, monsieur, replied the waiter;
"ze plaiz we're gay sairve re table d'hote

"What's the bill, Jacls?" asked the
man opposite.
Fifteen dollars, replied Jack.
Both men allowed their cigar to 90

Everybody laughed nervously and
excitedly. Everybody but Tess. She
sat silent and alone on the sofa.

Grove, so l went down to Twenty
second street None open there. BY

you were hungry as bears, but what

note. Understand"
The policeman, who had been listen
ing, went away looking disgusted. The
boys laughed until the house rang.
They told the experiences of the day and
Stubbins laughed with them. Tess only
was silent and pale.
81 think I'll go now," she said, at
length, rising
She bade them all goodnight and
walked unsteadily into the outer hall.
Stubbins followed, closing the door be-
hind him and excusing himself to the
others.
Cess he said, and she looked up at
him through her tears.
Why tell what these lovers said and

'But Tess, dear, there's something
else, something glorious. To-day L
made a big real-estate deal with Mil
waul1ee man-big for me. Soon we may
be married, for l have enough to buy
the little cottage, the little cottage just
big enough for two"
THAT isn't very big" Tess said,
smiling through those pretty tears OF
hers.

go by"
Her door was open and she went soft
ly in. He bent over and kissed her
again.
Goodnight, dear"
"Good-night, Albert"
