tory than the old-time throbs and
thrills.
He had fallen into the habit Of
bringing his work into her office,
which adjoined his. Each one of them
was doing literary work Independent
of that which they furnished their
magazine, and each found the others
suggestions and criticisms helpful and
inspiring. She wondered why her
stories took on such strength and vi
tality after she had talked them
over" with him-he developed new
possibilities of grace and beauty un-
der her discerning criticism.
Thus it was that the idea of colabor-
ating with her took hold of him and
found expression in the question with
which this story begins.
But you'd want the characters all
to do your way" she suggested. you
would never consent, feel sure, to
let your people give way the least
bit to NINE"
You don't know how complacent l
and my people can be upon occasion, Z"
he expostuiated. Lets try one story,
anyway, and, if we are not pleased
with the result, why, the firm can dis
solve without further notice. Such
things have been DONE" he concluded
with look that caused warm flush
to mount her brow She affected not
to notice his covert sarcasm and said:
Very good, you shall create the
men-you know the craft all say, a
woman's man to be utterly impossible.
And l am to have absolute sway where
the women are concerned"
So the story was begun. Plot and
style were agreed upon, but the de-
tails of the story were to unfold and
develop themselves as it progressed.
The interest was to hinge upon the
love of two men for one woman; and
Mrs. Martineau reserved the right TO
let the heroine accept or reject at the
last moment.
II don't know what sort of creatures
you are going to make Of your men,"
she protested, land l can't pledge my
self that my heroine will accept them.
If you make them do things that my
Judgment condemns, she must reject
them"
At first the story progressed beauti-
fully. She drew her heroine with a
firm, true hand, putting so much of
the charm and magnetism of her own
personality into her that Raymond
sad it was the easiest thing in the
world for him to make his men love
her-that he was more than half in
love with her himself. Something in
his manner suggested the question
whether he meant the heroine of Mrs
Martineau's story or the heroine OF
mine. But let that pass. When things
began to draw to climax, tho trouble
began. He had painted one of his
heroes handsome, daredevil fellow
who carried all womens hearts before
him. But he explained that the
heroine was to discover in time that
the fascination he had for her was
not true love. This left room for her
to realize her grand passion" in her

rans to save Her Husband.

Columbus, Ohio, July Mrs. Ed
win Ruthven, wife of the Cleveland
murderer, made a final effort to save
her husband, who was electrocuted
here. Hoping that she might be pun
ished in his stead she declared that
she donned his clothes and assisted in
the burglary and that she fired the
shot that killed Policeman Shipp. The
statement was palpably false and Sim
ply the frantic effort Of a loyal wife.
When Ruthven was told Of it he de-
clared that it was not true and that his
wife was innocent of any crime. He
seemed much touched by her fidelity,
but went to his death without know
ing anything of her attempt to commit
suicide, the officers sparlng him that
additional pang.

At COAL TRUSTS MERCY
Block Men May Be Shut Cut
from Combine.
SHARP COMPETITIVE FIGHT.
Fr-" of the Block Operators IL Held In
Dalance by Owners OF BituminouS
Mines-Outside Mines Compelled to
Struggle Alone.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 1.-Unless the
underwriters of the new Indiana
coal trust desire the presence of
the block coal interests of the state
in the combination the operators of
block coal will be left out. In conse-
quence there is considerable agitation
among the block coal operators, who
see before them the prospects of hav-
ing to fight a great corporation. Ac
cording to Chicago wholesale dealer
whose mines in Indiana are to be in
cluded in the new combination the
block operators are exhausting every
effort to be included in the trust be-
fore the consolidation is underwritten.
They fear that the men who will un-
dertake to finance the organization
will argue that few mines outside
the ring will not affect the business, so
that the block coal mines will be COM
PEELED to struggle along as best they
can. The mining of block coal is much
more expensive than the digging of
the bituminous grades and, therefore,
costs more on the market. The blum
nous trust would be enabled, both by
reason OF natural advantages and the
cheapening of production through Or
ganization, to drive the block oper-
ators out of business in short order
If a competitive fight began. Many
meetings are being held among the
men parties to the new organization.
J. Smith Talley, president of the In
diana Bituminous Coal Operators as
ISOLATION and president of the Coal
Bluff Mining company, is at the Great
Northern. ]. II. McClelland, president
of the Brazil Block Coal Mining COM
pany, is also at the same hotel Both
men have been in conference with the
Chicago mine owners since they ar
rived yesterday morning. Mr.. McClel-
land, although he declines to talk of
his business in Chicago, is said to be
here in the interests OF the block coal
operators of Indiana. He has been the
leader of the block operators and is
the head Of the company operating the
greatest number of block coal mines of
any company in the state. His COM
pany is operating nine shafts, all of
which are equipped with the latest
machinery and improvements. In adj
dition the company has several shafts
which it has closed down because of
the weak market.

Dog saved KITTEN. Lie.

A man servant in a family in Eng

pond, with the intention of drowning
it. His masters dog went with him
and when the kitten was thrown into
the water the dog sprang in and
brought it back to land. A second
time the man threw it in, and again
the dog rescued it; and when for the
third time the servant tried to drown
it, the dog. as resolute to save the lit.
tie helpless life as the man was to de-
stroy it, swan with it to the other side
of the pool, ran all the way home with
it, and deposited it before the kitchen
fire. From that time the dog kept con.
slant watch over the kitten. The two
were inseparable, even sharing the

resentment by assuming a bitter at

Now, by strange irony Of fate, they
