HAS SIMPLE FIRE ESCAPE.
Englishman's Invention Seems to Fill
lonq.feIt Want.


An Englishman has devised an in.
genious traveling-bag fire escape. 1t
can be made at any trunkmaker's for
little more than an ordinary port
manteau of the same kind would cost.
Moreover, the fire-escape part of it
does not interfere to any extent with
its capacity for holding your dress suit,
boots, shirts or other things requisite
for the traveller. In one small COM
partment will be found hundreds Of
feet of fine, light rope used by noun
taineers in the Swiss Alps for roping
themselves together while crossing
glaciers and climbing precipitous ice
slopes. There is also a particularly
ingenious little brake arrangement
and two pairs of steel snap hooks. II
an alarm of fire is given in a hotel in
the dead of night and the flames cut
off every means of communication
with the outside the possessor of this
portmanteau simply slips out Of bed,
snaps one set of hooks round the bed

ture. and the other set to the sides Of
the portmanteau. This last he then
throws out the window, gets into 1t
himself, and then lowers himself as
as quickly or as slowly as he pleases
by means of the brake.

CHAPTER w.
Before the King.

When the curtain had fallen behind
his advisers. the young king threw
himself back upon his rude high seat
and rested motionless among his cush-
ions, his head hanging heavily upon
his breast.
Crouchng on her bench near the
door, Randalin watched him as fly
caught in a web watches the approach
ing spider. Her eyes followed his
rowing glance from spear to banner,
from floor to ceiling, in terrible antici-
patton. 1t approached her; it turned
aside; it passed above her, hesitated,
sank, touched her! Ashen white, she
staggered to her feet and faced him.
In the Trolls name, who are you?'
he calculated. How came you here?'
The pale lips moved, but no sound
came from them.
He made a petulant gesture toward
the half-flled goblet. Why do you
stand there making mouths? Drink
that and get mans voice into your
throat, if you have anything to say to
me-"
"A mans voice." The girl stared
at him. "A mans voice." Then, like
lungfus of fresh air, it entered into
her that she was not really the naked
hedgeling she felt herself She was
in the tolls, surely, but there was
shell around her. Glad to hide her
face for moment. she seized the
goblet and drained it slowly to the
last drop.
Leaning back in his seat, the king
took frowning measure of his guest,
from the toe Of her spurred riding
boot to the top of the green cap which
she had forgotten to remove. With
her last swallow, he repeated his chal-
lenge.
Are you capable now of giving me
any reason why | should not have you
fogged from the camp? Is it your
opinion that because choose to

BUSINESS INSTINCT OF FaklR
Chose appropriate Time for Disposal
of His Wares

OF Ills wares.
Nothing in the world exceeds the
enterprise OF the street hawkers Of
Park Row. They provide umbrellas
on rainy days. and when il comes to
seasonable novelties they are always
found in the right place vt the right
time. But the most segasious of the
whole tribe made his appearance one
windy day last week. He was selling
safety hat strings" and he sta
toned himself At the intersection
Of Park Row, Nassau and Spruce
streets. There the wind sweeps
around the corners with the velocity
Of lake breeze in Chicago. 1t comes
in ftful blasts; there are little cen
ters of calm, ard then the pedestrian
Is in the midst Of swirling eddy that
almost lifts him off his feet, and
straw hats fly III every direction.
The street fakir chose this corner
to obtain a practical demonstration
of the utility of his wares. As soon as
hat blew off he was after the unfor
tunate with the shrill cry:
Buy a safety hat string-only ten
cents!" 4
1t was twice the usual price but so
timely was his proposition that he
disposed of his whole stock in less
than an hour, much to the envy of his
rivals, who vainly endeavored to get
rid Of trolley guides and popular
songs.-.New York Press.

half-smile as he refilled his cup,
motioning toward the other tiagon.
Fill up, and we will drink a toast to
their loyalty and to your beard; they
appear to be equally in need of en-
courasement.' Draining it off, he sat
staring down into the dregs, twirling
the stem thoughttully between his
fingers.
BY the time she had shifted her
weight twice for each foot. the peti-
tioner ventured to recall him.
II gives me some hope. TO hear
what you say about suspecting Edric
Jarl," she said timidly; for that
makes it appear more likely that you
will be willing to give me justice on
his man.
"Justice?' The Kings mind came

She caught her breath rather sharp

father spoke it often, and always with
great respect. 1t will go hard with
me if l must return an unfavorable
answer to his son. Tell me how his
death was brought about"
Randalin thrust the sobs back from
her throat; the tears back from her
eyes She began slowly: "Leofwin-
esson set upon him last night at the
gate Of the castle, and slew him. He
had five-and-fifty men, and my father
but twelve-besides me; he-we-
had just come in from hunting. Then
he rode over my fathers body into
the castle" She stopped uncertainty
to glance at her listener.

comes it that you escaped un-
harmed?"
The Grit-advocate., 1904-07-15

With Grams experience to follow,
it was not hard to frame that an
swer. "They knocked me on the
head with spear-butt and left me
for dead When l got my senses
again, found my way to the nuns of
St. Mldred's; and they gave me food,
and l rode hither"
1T is the Trolls luck! I-yet, go
on. The day will come. Did they
further harm within the castle? Have
you women-kin?'
Randalin hesitated. Would it not
be safer If she could deny altogether
the existence of daughter of Erode :?
But no, that was not possible, in the
face of what Norman might reveal
She began very, very carefully: 'It
happened that my mother died before
we came to Avalcomb; and my father
had but one daughter She was called
Randalin. A-her thrall-woman told
me that Leofwinesson pursued her to
a chamber in the wall. And-and be-

faint smile, that sharpened swiftly to
bitterness. After all, it would mat
ter little what anyone told of me.
Without doubt your kin have already
taught you to call me thrall-bred and
witless."
That from the warrier whose foot
was already planted on the neck of
England! In her surprise, Randalin's
eyes met his squarely. BY no means,

"Leofwinesson? What know you OF

wound received during quarrel
early today in the Metropolitan hotel

mits that she did the shooting.
She says that Furguson attempted
to assault her, that she pointed the
revolver at him to brighten him and
that during a scuffle the revolver was
discharged. Ferguson refused to ac-
cuse her.
When Mrs. Robertson was arrested
FERGUSON was asked il she had shot
him.
NO, I shot myself" he said. in
the next breath, he turned to the
woman and said to her reproachfully,
"why did you do this?"
The woman told the police that she
came of an excellent family in Roch-
ester, but refused TO give the names
of her parents. She said that she
met Ferguson in Buffalo three years
ago
