The girl screamed. Caney looked at
her.
"If I didn't love you so, dear, I
wouldn't do this" said the man, quiet

His barred muscular arm went out
suddenly. One brown hand pressed
firmly on the terrified lips.
"Cr-r-ack!" The rife shot echoed
and reechoed about the peaceful,

the fainting woman's lap. A gasp, a

The girl slipped forward and the boat

The sergeant, fearing that some of
the women might try \, leap from
the car, ordered the conductor to
hold the door closed. The sergeant
killed the tiny mice, and then offered
the woman her hat, but she refused
to put it on, and carried it at arms
length until she alighted from the
car, a few blocks farther on. Brown
says she would not give her name.

THE HUMAN MACHINE.
Some Interesting Statistics as to the Amount of Work a Mans
 Does.

The human body Is the most econom. ical machine in the world. It takes in about Ia pounds of food day in the shape of water. oxygen and solids.
 This food gives man his power of do- ing work. It gives the strength for bodily, muscular and mental work, says the New York World.
 The heart does 120 foot tons of work In 24 hours. If the full work of the heart for that period could be gath cred into one big lift it would raise 120 tons weight one foot high. The muscles of breathing do 21 foot tons work per day.
 The work of the whole body in its actions for 24 hours amounts to about 3,400 foot tons.
 This enormous working power is de ve1oped from food in 24 hours. Over a,00o foot tons go to produce heat, which is a mode of motion and is neces- sary for every vital process. The re- mainder represents a mans actual muscular and mental work.
 It must be remembered that 5000 foot tons about represent the force which would raise a man of average weight eight and one-half miles height Man has never succeeded in making any engine that could compare with the en- gineer's own body in developing a rela- lively large amount of energy on very small consumption of fuel ol food.

 "I was dining with Admiral Dry tNsg of Virginia, formerly of the confecST- ate navy, one evening in Richmondss said Edward Mashall, the author and journalist, relates the Washington Star, land ordered my favorite dish of broiled sardines. There isn't much of sardine to broil, but what there is of the little fish thus prepared is most delicious.
 'tWhen the diminutive products of the Maine coast were brought before me I observed the admiral turn pale and show evidences of physical distress. He asked me to be kind enough to have the dish removed and another substi- tuted.
 "Whenithad disappeared my friends normal good nature returned, and he explained. It seems that he sailed to the Pacific coast before the war, in a ship which had al unusually long and tempestuous passage. The provisions ran short and they were compelled to rely upon the cargo for food. The only edibles were cases of timed sardines and boxes of soda crackers. The crew and passengers lived on sardines and crackers until their stomachs refused to tolerate these delicacies. They were in danger of actual starvation, when another ship fortunately hove in sight, and enough supplies were obtained to last until San Francisco was reached. Since then the sight of sardines is in tolerable to the admiral"

the messengers about the White
House uniformed, and the report
that the nshers and doorkeepers

comment. OF course the people

be called for. A little thing is
this, but it is sufficient to show
something Of the extravaganza OF
