A DEAD MANS SHOES.
by HENRY GALLUP PAINE.


tcopyrighr. 1901. Daily Story Pub Coz
was In love with Gloriana that is,
was as much in love with her as
would let myself be; for unfortunately,
Gioriana was another mans wife. This
was not only unfortunate for me, but
unfortunate for Gloriana as well-not
necessarily because she could not have
me. but because She had him.
He was a terror. He was as bad as
they make them. Doubtless you won
der how so sweet and lovely girl
as Gloriana cauld have married such a
fiend That lis because you have never
seen him. Or if you have seen him
you never imagined he was married
TO Gloriana. He never behaved as II
he was married to anybody. Perhaps
it would be more strictly accurate 10
say that he always acted as il he was
married to >1erybody. But | never
heard of his marrying anybody but
Gloriana Perhaps it wasn't necessary
for him to marry the others. For ne
was the handsomest man | ever saw.
And Gioriana was only seventeen years
old when the wedding took place.
Now, | am not handsome, but | am
good. At least, / am pretty good. AT
any rate, | am SO good that | tried not
total | in love with Gloriana while she
was another mans wife. In fact | loved
her so we'll that | did not want to love
her better than | ought.
In consequence there were often long
periods when | did not see Glorianao
out of sight, out of mind | philos-
ophized proverbially. only to discover
by the same proverbial philosophy that
Absence makes the heart grow
fonder" The carrying out of my resolu-
tons in this regard was made easier
for me by the fact that Gloriana was
much of the time on the road.
For Gloriana was an actress. He was
on the stage, too. There was some COM
pensation in this; because, as they never
by any chance played in the same COM
pany, | knew he saw less of her than
did. AS matter of fact, Gloriana had
left him in the middle of what is prop
erly styled the honeymoon, though
never heard Gloriana so term it, and
she had never gone back to him. Some
how or other she was always able tc
arrange her engagements so that il
was not convenient-and thus avoided
anything like a scandal. Never was an
actress who had a lower opinion of the
advertising value of scandal than Glori-
ana. 1t was for this reason she shrunk
from seeking divorce, although he had
afforded her every provocation.
Il am working for fame, not posing
for notoriety," she declared; land l can
not afford to let the public's mind be-
come confused on this point. If | have
committed an act of folly in my youth

THE BRooKLYN BRIDGES HANDI-


1t is no wonder that the Bfookiyn
bridge. the greatest structure OF the
kind in the world, is breaking its SIS
penders in its struggle to hold up the
weight put upon it. The trouble seems
to be too much useless weight rather
than too much traffic.
Some startling revelations have been
made by Expert Engineer Gibbs, who
is familiar with every detail of the
Brooklyn bridge. Mr. Gibbs found
that the bridge is numbered with at
least ATT tons of pipes, cables, rails
and wire, most of which is useless and
the remainder being unnecessary or
having nothing to do with the prime
purpose of the bridge, that of affording
quick passageway between Man
haitian and Brooklyn for the public.
This weight, All tons, is nearly one
4 half of the maximum weight the bridge
was designed to carry. 1t is equiya-
lent to a solid train of sixteen Pull
man cars. 1t is estimated that the
~~roliey cars, cable cars, third-rail cars,
with their burdens and the pedestrian
and vehicular traffic on the suspended
part of the structure during rush hours
represent a total weight of about 1880
ions. This, with the AT of unneces-
sary weight, makes a total of 2,217
tons. more than twice the amount the
bridge was designed to carry.
4 There are several weights pointed
out as useless. On each of the third
rf4n1 rable car roadways runs an i'm
mense cast iron pipe. Its interior
diameter is eight inches. These pipes
were run across the bridge to transfer
mails between the Brooklyn and New
York postoffices by compressed air.
These are not in use, but their total
weight is 173 tons or nearly one-sixth
the total weight the bridge was design
ed to carry Instead of one set of rails
on each of the cable or third rail road
ways there are two sets. The second
set was laid just before the third rail
cars were introduced The cable cars
are now used only to ''help out" in the
! rush. In all there are four lines of
rail which could be done away with If
the cable cars were completely aban-
doned. Each of these rails weighs
\ seventy pounds to the yard. Their
total weight on the 1856 feet of sus-
pended structure is 323,760 pounds, or
162 tons-more than onerseventh of
the total burden for which the bridge
was designed. There are also eight
cables for cars, the total weight of
which is 80 tons, on the suspended
structure.
There are scores of telephone and
telegraph wires strung over the trans
verse Orders beneath the promenade.
When the bridge was designed il was
not expected that it would be called
upon to support multitude of wires.
The estimated weight of these on the
1856 feet of suspended structure is
iVV,Voo PouhuS, vi ~ toh8' ne dttudl
weight is probably far in excess of that
estimate
All of these strains on the bridge
are continuous, and in view of this
enormous handicap beyond the weight
the bridge was originally designed to
support it is hardly matter for won
der that the giant structure began to
break its suspenders in the effort to
hold up.
