Mary Millard had no recollection OF
either mother or father. The one early
event which had impressed itself upon
her memory was the death Of her grand
mother.
She often recalled with painful vivid
ness her grandfathers passionate grief,
and the bitter cry with which he had
elasped her to his heart:
You are all l have in the world,
Mary"
She was but seven years old when
;hey came to live in the old house in the
quiet New York village.
Contentedly self-buried, Mr.. Millard
devoted himself to his books, and ap-
oarently cared nothing for the world
which circled round the changeless
habits Of his daily life Mary's delight,
however, knew no bounds. The beauty
Of life is irrepressible, and her heart was
open to its falntest impression.
We must call it Robins Rest, she
declared; the trees are literally alive
with robins. Oh, grandpa, shall be SO
happy here"
And certainly she was happy as the
violet in the shadow Of the wildwood, or
the birds who sang in the trees around
mere.
Her education, so far as books went,
was gained from her grandfather, though
the task of studying was not one to
which she took kindly.
She learned more readily from nature
itself. Her powers of observation were
quiekened and sharpened, and the very
solitariness Of her life gave warmer
tone to her Imagination.
Rnt what bar orro ndfofbar raOra{fa1
most deeply was her lack of friends, or
friends of her own age and condition,
South Weston being made up Of hard
working farmers and the,. families, none
of whom were interested in anythin
higher than their stock and crops.
Under such conditions the years had
passed, and Mary was eighteen before
she herself realized the fact.
There was no change in her feelings
or views of life, but she was conscious
that her grandfather's eyes followed her
with deeper sadness than formerly.
One day he said to her quite suddenly:
Mary, do you realize that YOU arc q
woman?' Mary was decidedly startled
at this intelligence.
Indeed, don't, grandpa. and | don't
wish to. 1t will seem like being some-
one else"
They were together in the study; Mr..
Millard in his accustomed chair, and
Mary in her corner beside him.
Yes, he continued after seconds
eilenee, you are eighteen, and at that
age"
.One Is supposed to be woman, put
in Mary, rising from her stool and walk
ing across the room with half-serious,
half-eomic air.
1t is rather hard, grandpa. that one
must be, whether one wishes or not.
Now look at me, please. Am 1 taller
;han was month ago2 Am the least
pit wrinkled, or, has my hair turn
ID gray? No, no" she added with q
shake of the head, 1T isn't any use. Let
as talk Of something else.@
She was back in her place, her hand
apon his knee, her bright face raised

RosEBERRY, the famous jumping
horse, died in Chicago of injuries re-
ceived in an attempt made to clear
bar feet 81 inches high. His record
was Z feet So inches. The pathos of
Roseberry's death will perhaps lead
to considerable talk of the cruelty of
forcing dumb animals to tests OF
agility and speed. But in such
case as this the extenuation is almost
adequate. If the performances of
the animals were perfunctory the
cruelty would be obvious, but the
race horse loves the track even better
than the jockey, and it is not forced
supposition that Roseberry had a
consciousness of the feat which he
attempted and strong delight in
the attempt, and was, all in all, as
free a moral agent in the matter as
his rider. Men are committing sui
eide every day in wild struggle to
accomplish the impossible, There
may be a stronger pathos in the death
of horse under similar circum-
stances, but the principal reasons for
this are the uniqueness of the event
and the fact that the beast has no
tongue with which to describe the
humiliation of his defeat or the agony
of his last hours

TIP over the new route. Like all other
passengers he purchased ticket IN st.
Louis for Dallas and give up the usual
amount for sleeping car accommodation.
TIE rule as to transportation free on this
train does not vary this season from that
In effect last year.
THE train is the finest our people ever
tried to rum" said Mr.. Gallagher yester-
day to reporter for The Post. land the
people living along our route never hal the
pleasure OF viewing such a magnificent
turnout before. The equipment Is the same
as was run over the Southern route last
year, but has been renovated during the
summer and shows up much Amer on the
start The travel was nothing flatterng for
the first trip, but running it from Chi
cago this season will give the service ad-
ditional territory to draw from, which will
In Itself be the basis for the building of o
fine patronage.

the market this week displayed more or
less disposition to rally. The presence Of

same time London has been buyer on n
moderate extent, taking stocks on any con-
cesslons. Tho fact that Mr. j. p Morgan
has arrived In London and according to all
accounts has given out favorable views OF
the situation hero Is regarded as likely
TO have good effect. AS tho flow OF funds
to the interior has been checked and in
terest rates show tendency to weaken
the market here is not disturbed by the
apparent efforts OF the leaders Of the Lon

LUETGERT STILL IN JAIL.


Chicago, October 22.--Judge Tuthill,
States Attorney Deenen. Assistant States
Attorney McEwen, ex-Judge vincent and
Attorney Phelan had an informal confer
ence, lasting over an hour, in the Judges
private chamber today.
Luetgert was brought into court and the
report went abroad that a formal motion
to admit him to bail would immc liately
follow the conference. When the confer
ence was over Luetgert was taken back to
Jail. tee
No agreement was reached at the con-
ference. States Attorney Deenen vigor-
ously opposed the demand that the prisoner
be released on bail and the upshot OF the
argument was that no formal demand for
the prisoners admission to bail was made.
Ex-Judge Vincent said hetwould let the
matter rest for two or three days and then
make a formal application.
