young ladies, who cut off every means OF

ing gracefully, the actor acknowledged his
identity. Then" persisted the young
woman, will you please give me youl
necktie for a crazy quilt, as we are collect
ing all the articles we can from actors fol
that purposeY If Mr.. Keene had been at
tackled by footpads who had asked him to
surrender his valuables, he could not have
been more surprised. He began to feel
around his neck, but he could not find a
necktie there Somewhat embarrassed, he
replied: Il am very sorry, ladies, but i am
afraid / have left it in my dressing room.
But, If you will give me your address,
will send you the best one have by the
first mail" The young women laughed
and thanked Mr.. Kcene, while the tragedi
an entered his coupe and pondered over the
enterprise of the new woman.

Bridge nets to save the lives Of reck-
less cycling tourists are not common
The Tour club OF France recently put
one up. though. and IL has saved some
lives where. before. several were lost.
The dangerous bridge on which the net
Is hung Is at Ramingao. In the MARI
time Alps. AS everybody knows. there
are people who will disregard danger
boards, and so II Is In France. So many
riders had charged the parapet OF this
bridge and been thrown into the gorge
below that IL was decided 20 erect the
net to catch these foolish riders in
their flight. The erection Of the net
was completed on the 5th OF April. and
the first cropper occurred on the sth.
the rider emerging from the net safe
and sound. Before the 25th OF the same
month two other riders hadI,een ''nshed
out"
The nearest approach to this appli-
ance in England Is a case where the
owner of a cottage at the foot OF a steep
hill. frequently charged into by runa-
ways, banked up the end of his house
with piauking. which makes the stop
not quite 50 sudden. AT least. that Is
the apparent intention.
