Delft ware, go called. has recently come into

about 1850 one Suter Van der Even, n potter
OF that place, was making such ware, on which

found Its way into Europe; but the Delft sub

For several months past there has been O
keen competition between representatives Of
the Gear and OF an American and An English
university to secure possession OF a remarkably
valuable manuscript copy of the Gospel re-
Gently discovered In a small village In Asia
Minor. The Car has gained the prize. A Con-
stAntinople correspondent writes;
''This manuscript dates back to the sixth or

OF It which was first shown, hopes were raised
that the manuscript was n famous one known

"M7. Thompson, however, was IN tho
habit Of gossiping with her lodkers,
and somewhat resented being shut out
in this tinceremonius fashion. She
kept aasert Of surveillance over Miss
Taylor through the keyhole: and there
she was, sure enough, seated at the
table. engaged apparently in writing.
For two whole days this kept up. There
was no sound or almost none from the
occupied room, nor did its occupant
leave it. At last Mr.. Thompson could
stand it no longer. Even her friendli-
ness for the girl could not keep her
from trying to have = talk with her.
She went to the door and knocked
again and again without getting an
answer. Then a dreadful idea cas,.c
to her. Perhaps her Kindness had been
abused. and Miss Taylor had Rone OF
without paying her. OF course, she
went straight down to communicate
this to her husband, an idle sort Of fel.

quence looked up to fondly. They came
up together prepared to force the door
if need be. The thought that if theiR
guest was gone she'd hardly be likely 10

to them.
'But, strange to say. the door opened
10 their touch and there WINS the girl
seated az she had been the day before.
She was not writing. Her elbows were
on the table, her head resting on her
hands. She seemed asleep, for she did
not notice Thompson's cough. But he
was determined, warned by his scare,
to be paid for the use of the room. He
coughed again louder, then spoke her
name, then approached her. The set
ting sun shone full on her face. She was
dead.

'scrack" reporter had an ashen color
quite different from his usual rudy
hue, the result of the active life he led.
He went up to the editors desk and
made his report. Evidently his news
was "hot stuff" for the editor looked
up eagerly, asking: do you know the
whole story? Did anyone else get it !
Have we her picture?"
The crack reporter. hesitated in q
strange manner and said: Look here,
Brown, can't we let the story slide? No
one else has it. Don't print her pic
ture."
Brown glanced sharply at his aide
with those keen eyes of his. "Non-
sense!" he said: make good story
of it."
Grayson was an unconscionable time
writing the story, and, in the end, he
made barely a quarter of column out
of it. When it was finished he waited
until he saw the editor getting into
his overcoat to go home
Brown and he were old friends. To-
gether they had struggled for a foot
hold in the newspaper world, on the
staff Of the Moon. And together they
had left it after Grayson's famous fight
over his bill. He had been ordered to
Johnstown at the time of the floods,
and of course had gone at 4 moments
notice to brave dangers in pursuit OF
news for his paper. Nights in the open
air, his coat rolled up for pillow, on
damp ground or in freight cars. once in
. limekiln, once in the branches Of tree,
he had ruined the suit which was new
the day of his departure. When he
made out his bill for that eventful as
signment, he added the cost Of the suit.
But the paper In whose service he had
faithfully done anddared, whose graphic
accounts had been his work, cut out the
$50. Then he and his friend left.
So tonight he waited for Brown with
reasonable surety. The two men walked
up Broadway to their favorite restau-
rant, for q while in silence.
"You didn't remember Miss Taylor
when / mentioned her just now, did
you, Frank?" Grayson said, at length.
Barely; lost track of her after we
left the Moon. She wss pleasant, inof-
fensive little thing, wasn't she?'
'.She was = right nice girl, minding
her own business, neither slangy nor

when she was praised or when the boys
complimented her."
