farewell, and returned to his home
with sorrowful heart.
A year elapsed and found him still
sorrowful.
All his male friends declared him to
have become mysogynist, while all
his acquaintances of the softer sex,
who might have been his friends but
for this painful popularity. declared
that he was a heartless brute.

DEMON DANDY

SN URING his visit to the Hunting
il dons he had fallen hopelessly in
~ love with the beautiful and I'M
perlous sister of his host. 1t was the
night before the sale that the subject
OF the ellington horse sale was
preached by Huntingdon,

Gently

Beilairs, for her benefit recounted
the history of Demon Dandy's ex-
ploits.
When he had finished the narrowing
recital with thrilling account of how
Demon had beseiged a stableman In
the loft for space of twelve hours.
and how he had kicked two loose boxes
into matchwood In the same space or
time, Diana Huntingdon lifted her glo-

Diana had a Will of her own. This
slight but lll-timed opposition called II
into life.

horse" she reiterated, with rising
color.
More opposition followed from the
men.
Her brother grew angry nj the idea,
while Bellalrs. who would himself
mount and ride anything between a
buck Jumper and a zebra, grew alarm
ed and almost angry with her whom
he worshiped in private as almost n
divinity.

Diana Huntington at last, with an an

Then a hot flush came up from his

within him.

The six leading teams were on even terms in the distance travelled Curing the week, the winning places being taken in the last sprint.
 An instant after the men were over the tape, Mcfarland who had only won first place by few inches. jumped off his wheel and dashed at Lcander. Other rid CTS and trainers made a grab for the men and got Leander out of the way. Freeman next went after Leander and struck him full in the face. Thereupon riders, trainers and spectators took a hand and for a few minutes the affair looked like an incipient riot. Police of fcers jumped into the mass of men and strengthened out matters.
 The trouble grew out Leaders sprint ing in the afternoon, which threatened to break up Q supposed combination be- tween McF arIand Mclean and Freeman to take the race in that order.

DOWAGER EMPRESS
 WOULD BE FRIENDLY
ISSUES EDICT DISPLAYING A DE- SIRE TO CoNclLlATE FOREIGN ERs--sAYS FRIENDLY RELA- TIoNS SHOULD BE RESUMED.

Pekin, January 4.--The Dowager Elm press has issued another edict displaying desire to conciliate foreigners. She says friendly relations with the ministers 2 ould be resumed immediately upon the courts return to Pekin, wherefore it is desirable that the Emperor grant an au- dience, and orders that an early date be fixed for the reception of the minis ters. Her Majesty announces that she will soon arrange another reception for the ladies of the diplomatic court. The Emperor will receive the ministers in the Forbidden City and in the same hall where the members of the council and the highest nobles are received.
 It Is reported that a building along the route of the procession will be provided where the foreign ladies may witness the courts re-entry into Pekin. This Is a remarkable innovation.
 The foreign officers have received peti- ton signed by multitude of Chinese merchants in the United States request ing the government to oppose the re- enactment of the Chinese exclusion law.
 The proposed measure to prohibit Chi nese from crossing the United States in order to enter Mexico and South Ameri- ca, where many of them have large in- terests, will greatly damage trade, it is declared.

OPERA PATRONS
Will Have Carriages calted by Elec-
 tric Flash Lights.

s-St-~
 Frop New yRsfR Herald.
 Much ciamor and confusion will be done away with at the Metropolitan Opera House in January by the installation of an illuminated carriage call system, which will signal to waiting coachmen a half mile distant. The proper numbers will be flashed from a conspicuous place commanding the stretches of pavemen. where the carriages, cabs and automo- biles now crowd and jam the crossings after opera hours.
 Operators stationed at the entrances will give numbered checks, and, without the aid of the man with the foghorn voice, calling ones vehicle will be only a matter of switching series of levers arranged somewhat like < typewriter board. The figures from to 3 can be shown in each of the three large apertures, so that carriage calls may be numbered up in the hundreds and changed every two seconds. The principle of the device is similar to that of the shifting advertising le- gends written in colored incandescent lights. Theatre and opera goers, and even more than these-the persons living near the midnight tumult of the shouting for carriages. will welcome this system as public benfaction. There will be no excuse for delay and confusion when coachmen will be able to read their num- bers against the sky half dozen blocks away.
 The owners of several theaters are wait ing to adopt the system if the test at thv, opera house is as successful as seems probable
