FATE SEEMED CRUEL

Young Countess Thanked HeaVeR
When Her Handsome Lover Was
Stricken Blind by the Dis
charge of "A Masket.

Here, for once, a charming girl
thanked Heaven that the man she
loved had been stricken blind.
This affecting story is told by
Count de la Garde-ChambOnas in his
book, "Anecdotal Rccollections Of
the Congress of Vienna" 1t is
aprOpos of "a young man whose eyes
were covered with black bandage.
and who was guided through the
crowd by a young lady whose face
was hidden by thick veil"
The young man was Count TheO-
dore Hadrick, who, being engaged to
marry Constance, the lovely daugh-
ter of Count Amady, went TO join the
Hungarian army at Pesth at the head
of his yassals:
Theodore, in virtue of several sig
nal actions, deserved the cross con-
ferred upon him by the chapter OF
the Order of Maria Theresa, a dis
tinction considered one of the fore
most in the annals of chivalry. But
while the young man suPped full
with glory, Constance had been car
ried to the brink of the grave by
cruel illness. Stricken down by an
attack of most virulent smallpox, she
lowered for a long time between life
and death. The doctors, while saw
ing her, could not prevent the face
which had been one of the most
beautiful from becoming almost
hidppuS She was only allowed IN
look at herself when she was on the
high road to recovery.
The sight. as you may imagine,
filed her with despair, and, con-
yinced that Theodore could no longer
love her under such conditions, she
ardently prayed for death. In vain
her father and Comte Hadick tried
to reassure her. Haunted by the hor-
rible dread of being no longer wOr-
thy of her betrothed, she refused to
be comforted, and the young girl was

Nevertheless, one morning when
she was. nesting in the arms of her
father, who bade her live at least for
him, the servant, who had accom-
panied Theodore to the war sudden
ly rushed into the apartment. an
nouncing the immediate coming OF
his master, whose voice, a moment
afterward, was heard outside.

FOUGHT FOR LIFE HIGH IN THE AIR.
Contractors Desperate Struggle With a
Crazed Subordinate on the Fifth Floor
of a Steel Skeleton for House,

PIttsburg, Nov. 3.-One thousand chill
dren just released from the Forbes School
and 800 patients in the Mercy Hospital
this evening witnessed a fearful fight for
life between S. j. Little and William
Ballentyne, on the fifth floor of the steel
skeleton for a new apartment house on
Locust Street. Tonight Little is at home
with a battered head, while Ballentyne
lies unconscious at the police station. To
incarcerate him the police had to use clubs
as Ballentyne twice sprung the handouts
which had been placed on him.
Ballentyne apparently became insane
while directing his men. He is a sub
contractor, and Little the contractor.
Ballentyne chased off all the workmen and
grappled with Little, who tried to in
terfere. The men swayed IN mldalr in
deadly struggle. A false step meant death
for either or both. Little at last succeeded
in tossing Balentyne aside.
Ballentyne ran to barrel of bricks and
began to throw them at Little, who was
knocked down twice as he stumbled down
the ladder. Ballentyne followed yelling
like mad. On the street the crazed man
took possession of a pile of bricks with
which he bombarded passing wagons,
houses and the hospital win
dows across the street. He had wrecked
an East End wagon when the police came
in response to a riot call.
