Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut, By
nearly twenty miles.
Spencer's airshfp has a blunt tail
and nose, differing in that respect
from the design of Santos Dumont's
balloon. The general lines are those
of a bottle-nosed whale. The bag is
seventy-five feet long and contains
10000 cubic feet of gas. The frame is
of bamboo.
Unlike Santos-Dumont's machine,
Spencer's airship is propelled in
front A simple pressure of a but
ton sets the airship going and stops
it. 1t is worked by a motor of three
horse power. placed at safe distance
from the gas valve, danger of explo-
sion being thereby minimized.

Isabel Crathmore's Revenge.
BY ALTA MAYE.


Copyright, 1902 by Daily Story Pub. COD
Society was on the "qui vive." To
night was Mrs. Larkin's Grand An
nual Ball. at her beautiful home. As
Grand boulevard, acknowledged by all
to be the most "swagger" thing of the
South Side set. She was unquestion-
ably the leader-vivacious, brilliant
and such charming personality. Her
face indicated high ideals and such
womanly purpose in life, beautiful in
contour and dazzling in the freshness
of its tints. Every one loved her.
Whenever she gave anything it was
social topic, every one We'd with each
other in artistic robes.
Isabel Crathmore was surprised to
find an extra slip in her invitation.
She picked it up and scanning 1t,
read:
Dearest Isabel: Do look your very,
very best tonight. Harold Vance, my
husbands college chum, is to be here.
Frank says he is the Lion of New
York fancy he will fascinate Chi
cago. Want you to captivate him.
Lovingly, Jennie Larkin.''
Isabel thought and pondered. Har-
old Vance, where have l met him!
His name sounds so familiar; GER

all came to her. West Baden-he
was one of her friends party of
twelve. three years ago. She now re-
membered it all perfectly. How
madly in love her dearest friend.
Katharyn Frisbie, had been with him,
the long glowing letters day after day
telling her of Harold Vance, of his
great superiority over other men; that
he was 1.-THE one and only Finally
they were engaged and how happy she
was. They were to be married in the
summer. Then came the last letter,
and such a sad one telling how cruelty
he had left her without one word of
explanation. Poor Katharynl She
had never heard from her since. She
was doubtless pining away in some
nunnery. IsabeIs heart ached for
her. She thought, how can 1 meet
this man. this monster, who treated
Katharyn SO shdmefuIy. But 1 can
not give up the ball; it is the one
thing of the year. What shall l do?
What can I do? She covered her face
with both hands for some moments,
then suddenly arose exclaiming, Il
will go. ! will do it, That excel
lent. I'll avenge her; I'll make him
love me. and oh! I'll despise him so.
Then he must ask dear Katharyn's
forgiveness
The night was beautiful. Isabel
had taken great precaution in her
toilet-her maid thought she never
knew her SO exacting. Gowned in her
gorgeous robe of heavenly blue she
looked dazzling. AS she walked into
the room she looked brilliantly ra-
diant, every move of her graceful
figure gave an instant impression of
perfection. She saw Mrs. Larkin ad-
.yaneing with Harold Vance. Isn't he
handsome, thought Isabel. Poor
Katharyn shall be avenged; how 1 do
,despise him.
Her reflections were Terminated by
the introduction and Harold Vance
saying, AN additional pleasure. Miss
Crathmore, / have heard Katharyn

one great comforter. Amid such f.
deity. such constancy, Isabel forgot
aught else. She determined to make
him love her at any cost; she must
avenge Katharyn.
Finally, Mrs. Larkin's last recep-
ton of the year, society had been
doting on it. The house was brilliant
in a sort of luminous haze-beauty
and wit mingled.
Isabel looked charming in a fairy
creation of pure white. What a NOV

After a moment she began to pick her
friends out from the maze. in which
every one at first seemed confused In
one magic sensation.
Harold Vance came Immediately to
her, and speaking low said: Miss
Crathmore, there is something l must
tell you tonight" HE loves, me,
oh! he loves me; it must be that he
loves me- thought Isabel.
The reflection restrained her for q
moment, but she was mastered by a
fear that was far more terrible.
Should he know her love? No, q

no matter what the cost. She could
keep her secret-it was hidden in the
dark recesses of her heart. Then she
began to chide herself for being In
grief when she should be happy.
Every plan was nearing fulfillment.
She went to the farther end Of the
conservatory. She wanted to be
alone, to think, to cool her burning
face against the cool pane. She looked
out into the night and asked the
wierd, silent vale of darkness to tell
her-tell her what to do. No sound

That holds the sunshine all day long
Where winds move gently, if at all

The white stoled lilies offer up
Their golden heart before the SUM-

Among the bending lily stalks
Light treading shadows softly pass.

Beneath a changeless smile of sky,
Where mid the scent of lavender,

stunned to think he would have the

Call Money Higher.

The only adverse information was a
continuation Of yesterdays furry in the
call money market. The ruling rate for
call loans was S per cent, and a few
transactions at rates running as high as
Is per cent were reported. This natural
ly caused some selling OF securities by
weak and timid spectators. and restricted
new ventures on the part of the conserva-
tive operators. The International Power
has wisely, but somewhat tardily, request
ed a conservative banking house TO in
vestigate its affairs and report to the
public concerning them.

tanned further net loss Of II points,
making a total OF rs for the last two

that negotiations for sale OF the ma
