Rich English baroness Passed on With
Mysterious Word.
st. Louis Republic: The Baroness
Burdette-C outts was once shopping In
Paris. and whenever she went from
one department to another she was es-
corted by a clerk, who handed her over
to another attendant, saying: Two
ten" Struck by the popularity OF the
oft-repeated cabalistic words, the bar
oness asked the proprietor as she left
the establishment:
pray, what does two ten meanP L
noticed that each clerk repeated 1t to
the other?"
"Oh. It is nothing" replied the man.
ct is Just a password they are In the
habit of exchanging" But the BAR
oness was not satisfied. When the
porter, a mere lad. brought hong her
purchases, she said to him:
MY boy. would you like to earn y
frthes?"' OF course he would be
charmed.
''Then tell me what two ten means.
and I will give you 5 francs The
youth looked at her In a~stonishment.
Don't you know, madam? Why, 1t
means Keep your eye on her ten
hngers!"
That solved the mystery. The rich
est and most generous woman In Eng
land had beer taken for a shoplfter.

New York, April 15.-Accompanied
by the screeching of whistles n the
cheering OF thousands of spectators on
Doth sides of the east river, the first

drawn taut by a powerful engine UNI
til Il was 100 feet above the surface OF
the water.
Thousands viewed the raising of the
cable from the shores. while many tug
boats. yachts and craft of all kinds
ran up near enough so hat those on
hoard could witness the work. An IN
teresting feature was the giving of n
long chain of signals, reaching from
n man on the Manhattan side TO the
engineer who controlled the siXty-flve
horsepower engine which stretched
the cable. =,
The actual raising of the cable lasted
lust seven minutes. While IL was going
on all traffic in the river at hat point
was stopped by order of h harbor-
master,
After being drawn back $40 feet over
the top Of the tower on the Williams
burg side the cable was put in clamps
and firmly fastened to he massive
