| love story. 1t was during the first of
| last June. Miss Maud Shonfeldt, the
daughter of Henry Shonfeldt, one Of
Omaha's wealthiest and most respect
ed citizens, had started on the train
with the intention of visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. A. l.. Ball of Ogden, Utah.
The young woman, who was promi-
nent in Omaha society, was a modest,
well-bred and extremely beautiful girl
Several of the best young men in Oma-
ha had sought her hand in marriage,
and in each case she had told her
father, declaring at the same time
that she was too young to think of
getting married.
The other principal character in this
Pullman coach, so far as the story is
concerned, was Philip Doremus Wat
kins. He is tall, standing two inches
over six feet in height has an athletic
figure, a smooth-shaven face, wavy
blonde hair, dresses exquisitely and
combines a distinguished appearance
with the manners of a French count

youth of "a. In the glance Of his eye
there is something more commanding.

friends of Miss Shonfeldt find what
they believe is the hypnotic power of
a Svengali to which power Miss Shon-
feldt acted the part of Trilby.
Speeding along in the luxurious car
the young man Watkins noticed pref
ty Miss Shonfeldt, and became inter
ested in her. 1t did not take him long
to discover that she was travelling
alone, and it was likewise easy for
him to ascertain through the conduc-
tor that her journey was to cover a
considerable distance
While Miss Shonfeldt was not one
who would be regarded as distinctly
impressionable, she could not help no

he was stranger made it not diff

man and hero.
The glance of his eye had thrilled
this modest girl, and she wondered to
herself at her weakness. Her fate
was sealed.
No less conscious of his power was

A number of prominent Japanese
scientists are at present engaged
upon a series of experiments for the
artificial production of rain by means
of electricity. The first trial was made
in the Fukushima prefecture, and the
results obtained were very satisfac-
tory. Operations were begun at IL in
the evening, but no change was noted
until the next morning, when clouds
began to gather in the vicinity of the
place where the experiments were
being held. Rain soon began to fall
over an area several miles in extent,
and continued without intermission
for twelve hours.

and which. 1t would have seemed,
tastes of such a social favorlte as
Miss Shonfeldt. The legal form was
sufficient to unite them in wedlock,
and thus Mr.. Watkins was able to
avoid publicity in Ogden, where the
friends OF the bride might have caused
him some embarrassment.
The knot tied they boarded a west
ern bound train on their way to San
Francisco, and while en- route to the
Pacific coast, Mrs. Watkins sent a
brief note to her sister at Ogden,
telling of the strange romance, the
fact of their marriage and their desti-
nation.
The next appearance of this tall
young man and his beautiful bride was
on June % at Santa Monica, near Los
Angeles, Cal. They were registered at
Hotel Arcadia. Watkins readily be-
came popular among society people,
and was soon a leader in golf, tennis
and ping pong.
They visited other points in Cali
fornia, making only brief stops, and
finally have disappeared so that Henry
Shonfeldt of Omaha has not the slight
est knowledge of his daughters where

ployed to search for the couple. The
young brides father recently received
the following letter: why do you
not answer my letters? l have not

sending kilograms to her every day.
Another letter received on the follow
ing day read as follows; Send me-

noticed some tracks in field These
were followed and were found to lead

was dragged up by a rope. Curiously
enough, he was unhurt, although he
must have fallen or jumped to the
bottom. He had been in the well thir-

machine. Very well! We will make a
boring machine by following the laws
of gravity and equilibrium We need
only few things, a sewing needle, a
cork, two pocketknives of equal
weight and a bottle closed with a
cork. We insert the pin in one of
the corks and the eye end of the sew
ing needle in the cork, closing the
bottle. Then we open the two pocket
knives and insert them in the free
piece of cork, as shown in the illus
tration. Now we have to balance the
two knives on the pin. For that pur-
pose we place the pin on the tip of
one finger and have somebody else
move the knives to and fro until the
balance is reached. Then we place
the whole apparatus on the point of
the needle, as shown in illustration.
The balance is easily reached by
slightly moving the pin one way or
the other. When the balance is fin
ally reached we set the knives and
cork with the pin in motion by blow
ing at it. AS the sewing needle is of
hard steel, the pin of softer metal, the
turning motion of the needle will bore

years of age, and now she has brought
action to annul the marriage. The do

asks for $4,000 damages in addition to
the annulment. The ceremony uniting
the child in marriage to the farmer

her parents and they are the moving
