representative of Mr. Carnegie and his
attorney, whose name l cannot now
state, declared that he knew posi-
lively that the signatures were genuine.
It is true that we-Mr. Spear and my
eelf-did indorse the notes, but Of
course we had no idea that they were to
be put to the use that they were after

assurance of Iri Reynolds, secretary of
the Wade Park Banking company, at
Cleveland, that he had the securities that
Mrs. Chadwick claimed he had.

Carnegie Interested.
Andrew Carnegie said Monday thai
he had nothing to add to his previous
denials of the signatures OF the notes
attributed to him. He said that hs
had not seen Receiver Lyon, nor any
one else officially connected with the

developments, and learned them with
apparent interest. He said that ht
would be glad to see Mr.. Lyon or any

Mr.. Carnegie intimated that he do

A Chilly Mule Tale.

A correspondent with the Tibet
mission tells mule story: "Mules,
apparently, do not die from any cause.
and this mission has again proved the
extreme hardihood of these animals.
When the mission first crossed the
Jelapsia, a mule slipped in the dusk
and fell into the lake at the bottom of
the pass. 1t was thought to be
drowned. Next morning a convoy
found it with its nose just above the
ice, the rest of it's body literally fro
zen il. Pickaxes were brought and
the animal was dug out. It is now
working as usual" s.

She looked across a shimmering
waste of barren sand and withered
buffalo grass, from which the heat
waves radiated until the distance was
hazy with them. A few distorted cac-
tus plants reared their weird forms in
the heat, and here and there dead
and parched mesquite bush helped to
break the monotony of the scenery.
Afar off, to the southwest, the tops
of the mountains in Old Mexico could
be seen family, miles and miles away
She liked to speculate on how pleas
ant it was beneath the trees on their
slopes-where the cool waters flowed,
the wild flowers blossomed and the
birds sang.
She was tired and utterly weary OF
the whole business. Four long years
she had lived here-she married John
Hawkins back in the states, and came
out to the Ell Dorado ranch, where he
was going to make his fortune raising
cattle. He was only foreman and she
was cook for the cowboys. The worst
of it was, she was regarded by him as
scarcely more than a cook. He would
come home late at night, gulp down
an enormous supper, tumble in bed
and snore like a grampus until day
light, when he would bolt his break
fast and start out on the range again.
Not a word of sympathy, of fellow
ship; not bit of tenderness, no SEN
timent, only work, work-left to her
gloomy contemplation of the dreary
waste without.
Sometimes he was away at night
and she had heard him Joking with
some of the cowboys about Rita
and then ne would watch her covertly
out of the corner of his eyes to see if
she heard, or understood. But she did
not betray herself, and they welt on
talking of ---, where the mescal
and the music and pulque, and women
drove men mad. That was where Rita
stayed. Rita was, perhaps pretty
and dainty. Well, maybe Rita did not
have to COOKBOOK, all the time for a
lot of men, and wash dishes and
sweep up and prepare for another
meal when one was finished. That
would take the good looks away from
anybody.
And when John had talked of COM
ing west, she had dreamed of cool
adobe houses with splashing fountains
in the patio-of orange and lemon
trees in blossom-of great scarlet
geranium trees and vines and flow
ers-an indolent, easy "manana' sort
of existence. But this, instead. She
looked about the rough plank house
in utter disgust and WEAKNESS.
What was the use of it all? What
did it amount to? What was there to
look forward to, except continuation
of the drudgery? And day by day
her youth, her good looks were Slip
ping from her, ground into nothing
ness by toll of an unremitting sort
What was there left for her, now, thai

klTE-FLYlNG IN THE EAST.
In Oriental Countries the Sport is
National Pastime ,..

IN OTientai NounITlCS Iuc opOTI IS a
National Pastime. y
Homemade kites satisfy the Ameri-
can boy and afford him lots Of fin, but.
it is strange that he does not invent
an artistic and national kite, such as;
they have in Japan, China and Korea.
where all the flyers have a meaning.
A figure of an eagle or of Uncle Sam
with his arms outstretched would be
quite imposing.
In all these oriental countries kite
flying is national pastime and thou
sands of people on holidays gather up
on the hills and watch the sport.
In China the sport ends on the ninth
month in a festival called descending
on high" In Japan and Korea the
boys only fly their kites for fifteen
days out of the entire year.
But kite-f1ying in these countries is
quite secondary to kite-fghting. The
fighting machines are made on rec
tangular bamboo frames covered with
paper and have a hole in the middle.
They have no tails and the strings are
of silk dipped in fish glue and pow
dered with porcelain. The moment
two kites strings are crossed, no mat
ter if one belongs to royalty itself,
the player must let out his line. The
string that is drawn tight is sure to-
be cut through. The instant kite is
cut down it is seized by the small
boys in the streets.
