DISCOVERED NEGRO UP STAIRS.
Mrs. Geo. H. Draper Meets With Try
ing Experience.

Mrs. Geo. H. Draper met with
nerve-trying experience about seven
o'clock Oh Friday evening last She
had just started to her room in the sec
ond-story of her home on Causey Av-
enue, when she ran into a burly negro
in the upper hallway. The colOred
man seemed as much surprised as
Mrs. Draper, and beat hasty retreat
before she was able to discover his iden-
tity.
Mr.. Draper has for some time been
missing money that he had left in an
upper story room and has been unable
to account for the loss. 1t is supposed
that this is the culprit who has been
appropriating Mr.. Draper's money,
and that he was on one of his noctur-
nal crusades when discovered by Mrs.
Draper.

nOondaY meal and rest.


Along the bank of a pebblv stream be-
tween pickets of mounted guards the troop
or holiday folk was strung in scattered
groups 1onder, a body of the kings
huntsmen struggled with braces of leashed
hounds Here were gathered together the
falconers bearing the kings birds Nearer
a band of grooms led the kings blOoded
horses to the water. And nearer yet where
the sun lay warm on leafy glade, the
kings beautiful Dan sh wife, took her
incoming amid her following of maids and
OF pages, of ribboned wenches and bag
gage-laden slaves
AS her glance fell upon this last picture
Randalin drew quick breath of admira-
ton.
While they waited for the bondwomen to
restore to the hampers the crystal gobletS
and gold-fringed napkins that even in the
wood wastes must minister TO such delicate
lips, one merry little lady was launching
fleets of beech-nut rinds down the stream
another, armed with a rush spear, was
making bold attack on the slumbers of
some woodland creature which she had
spied out basking on the sunny side of a
stump; and in the center of the open, the
Lady Elfgiva was amusing herself with the
treasures of red and gold leaves which silk
clad pages were bringing from the thicket.
Gazing at her, Randalin's admiral on
mounted to usefulness. Were like that,

she sighed
Certainly, as she looked today sitting un-
der the towering trees, 1t was easy to I'M
derstand why the kings wife had been
named 1.-The gift of the elves" Every love-
ly thing in nature had been robbed to
make her, and only fairy fingers could
have woven the suns gold into such tress-
es, or made such eyes from a scrap OF
June sky and a spark of opal fire. From
the crown of her jeweled hair to the toe of
her little red shoe, there was not one line
misplaced, one curve forgotten, while her
motions were as graceful as blowing will
lows.
When the pair came toward her over the
carpet of leather-hued leaves, she put out
a white hand in reckoning. Come here,
my Valkyria, and let me try If can make

EAR GRATING IS BEGUN.
DR.. Nelden Performs the Operation in
PHILADELPHIA.

A special from Philadelphia last night
says Andrew l.. Nelden of New York today
performed the operation of grating an ear
upon the head of a western millionaire,
whose name, the surgeon says, he is under
bond not to reveal. The operation was to
have been performed in New York, but DR..
Nelden feared District Attorney Jerome
might interfere. DIR. Nelden said today:
1.-The operation has been performed and
promises to be successful. 1 am under legal
contract and heavy bond not to reveal the
name of my patient. Generally speaking,
he is a wealthy man from the west How
he lost one ear 1 don't know. 1t appears
to have been cut off with "A sharp instru-
ment. | believe he says it was accidental,
but I never asked him to explain.
The operation took place at a private
hospital here, where | assisted by a
Philadelphia physician and one from New
York. l think they will be willing to have
their names known later. The two men
were placed in opposite directions upon an
elongated bed.
"One-half of the volunteers ear-the up
per half-was cut off, together with about
four inches of the skin behind the ear. This
was twisted around ana fitted to freshly
prepared wound upon my patients head.
The half ear was held in place by bandages
and the two men bound they cannot
move heir heads.
"They must retain this position for at
least twelve days to allow the circulation to
come through the flap of skin that still
remains a part of the volunteers scalp.
IF this half ear starts to unite properly
the lower half of the ear will be grated in
the same manner"
The man who will be minus an ear and
plus $1,000 by the operation is a young;
German who keeps a restaurant in New
York.

he should tell for naught. You do not
guess half the entertainment your wild ways
will be to me. l expect 1t Will be more
pleasant for me to have you than that Nor
man ape which Canute sent me at the be-
ginning of the summer-which is dead now,
unfortunately, because Harald would insist
upon shooting his arrows into 1t. There!
Now my work could not be improved upon"
Again she moved back, her beautiful head
tilted in birdlike examination. Randalin
arose slowly and stood before her with
widening eyes.
But it was not long that the Lady of
Northampton had for her or for the wreath.
Now her attention was attracted to the
farthest group of guards and huntsmen,
whose motions and ShOutings seemed to in
dictate some unusual commotion. Bending
she peered curiously under the branches
Il wonder if it has happened that the king
has sent some one to meet us?' she ex-
claimed.
Il see CLEAN of scarlet, lady," the maid
en- of the river bank came to tell her
eagerly
But even as Elfgiva was turning to dis
patch page for news the throng of NOV
ing figures parted, and from it two horse
men emerged and rode toward them. One
was the mighty son Of Lodbrok, clad in the
scarlet mantle and gflded mail of the king s
guard. The other, who wore no armor at
all, only feasting clothes Of purple velvet,
was the king himself.
The whole troop of butterfly pages rushed
forward to take possession of the horses;
the little gentlewOmen made futtering
group behind their mistress; and Elfgiva,
laughing in sweetest mockery, swept back
her rosy robes in lowly reverence.
Hail. lord of half a kingdom, but of the
whole of my hearth she greeted him.
Canute seemed to drink in her fairness
like wine: his face was boyish in Its RAJ
dance as he leaped from his horse before
her. What! The first word a gibe?' he
cried. then caught her in Is arms and stilled
her silvery laughter with his lips.
1t was so charming picture that Randa-
lin smiled in sympathy, where she stood
little way behind the young wife, awaiting
the moment when the king should have lei
sure to discover her. Not the faintest doubt
Of his friendliness was in her mind. She
was still smiling, when at last he raised his
head and looked at her over Elfgiva's
shoulder.
Then. alas. the smile died. murdered. on
her lips.

FATHER EARLY eDIsAPPRovEs
Of Sewing School Conducted by Miss
Helen M. Gould.

A disnatch from Tarrytown, N. Y, last
night says:
Rev r. J. Early rector of the Catholic
Church of Irvngton, has forbidden the
children of Catholic parents in his parish
to attend the sewing school which for years
has been maintained by Miss Helen M.
Gould.
About 800 children attend the school.
Father Early's first objection was mace
when some of the Catholic children attend
ed a luncheon given by Miss Gould on FIJI
day.
At this luncheon meat was served ana
the Catholic children partook of 1t unmind--
fp, of the day. AS soon as Father Early
ban. Since then there has been some cor
resnondence between the priest and Miss
Gould.
Another thing the priest objected to was
that a hymn was sung at the opening OF
the affair In her reply to that complaint
Miss Gould told him it had been her wish
to have the daily sessions or the Grass
opened with readings from the scriptures
but out of Difference to the Roman Catholic
children she had refrained from having this
done In the future her original wish will
be carried out
Miss Gould made a statement today, say
ing, in part:
AT the annual party on the last Friday
in September among the refreshments
served were sandwiches. and when the
Irvington Roman Catholic priest heard of
1t he placed ban upon the school, thus
taking out quite number of the children.
OF course, they need not have eaten the
sandwiches unless they wished to do So
The sewing school has been in existence
since Miss Gould was a young girl when
she taught sewing to the daughters of men
employed upon her fathers place.
1t has developed into a school of about
300 pupils, among whom are Protestant and
Roman Catholic children. The instruction
ranges from kindergarten department to
the making of shirt waists, suits and sim
pie dresses. No ban has been placed on
the school by the Tarrytown or North Tar
rytown priests.
When Father Early was asked tonight
If he had placed an absolute ban on the
school, he replied:
IT have placed a ban. on the children
of my charge violating the rule of our
church"
Beyond this Father Early would say moth
ing.
