A New Cinderella

SACK BERENSON caught sight OF
ill her as he was going to the once
" after lunch. He frequently caught
sight of her, but this was the extent
Of their acquaintance. He had groan-
ed more than once to think convention
ality forbade more extended one.
She was not the kind Of girl with
whom one might scrape up Do"1ns

Indeed, if she had been, it is safe to
conclude Berensen would EOt have
troubled his head about her, for ne
had q social position to maintain,
good deal Of personal pride and more
than the average sense of exclusive
ness.
"Hallov' he said, suddenly, and stop
ped short.
The girl ahead had paused. She was
evidently in some predicament, for she
stopped as though to extrlcate herself
or to pick up an article dropped. Al
most at the same instant, however,
tremendous dray, piled with boxes,
bore down upon her, and at the shout
of the driver, who was striving to
rein In his huge Percherons' she
sprang toward safety and reached the
sidewalk.
Berenson let the dray pass. Looking
down directly on the spot where the
girl had hesitated, he saw that which
had arrested her, and bending quickly,
he pulled out of the thick, black. sticky
mud an absurdly small rubber, with
its wrinkles holding the arch of high
little instep.
"Wellr' he calculated, there's luck!
He felt ridiculously elated. So
pleased did he look, in fact, that a
friend jostling him as he reached the
opposite sidewalk remarked his salts

Wheat gone up, Berenson?"
'No-rubber.' laughed Berenson.
And his friend walked off, wondering
what there was in fishing footwear out
of the mire to make a fellow look so
idiotically pleased.

This accusation could not be made

Then he sauntered to the window

the way, where at a certain window,

certain head. 1t was shapely head,

sunny brown curls. Indeed, SO fire.

Improving the Meadow.

There are many meadows yearly
turned into pastures which might be
saved for hay yields several years
longer with little care at the right
time One Of the best ways Of doing
this at small expense is to plow the
meadow early in August after manur-
ing it well, and here is a way of util-
izing manute one is storing under the
shed, and which is going to waste, and
sow rye in early September at the rate
Of two bushels an acre.
In April or as early as possible, pillow
under the rye, smooth and sow with
grass seed, using the mixture best suit
ed to your section or using mixture
of timothy, red top and clover, which
lis excellent in most sections, and will
not contain enough clover to injure it

When saving wood it is a matter of
considerable work to get out the

to make an ordinary sawhorse. The

REMARKABLE FABRIC
Is Proof Against Bullets, and Tests
Fail to Injure Horses.
Pittsburg Gazette,

1IISUQIS 0dZ6II0.
Some time ago the Record made
brief mention of bullet-proof ma
terial invented by an Italian named
Ernesto Benedict, which seemed to
possess unusual qualities. Further in
formation now comes from abroad
concerning series Of exhaustive trials
which have been given this fabric at
Rome. and at Milan the results Of
which go to increase our wonder.
Ernesto Benedetti's invention in its
usual form takes the shape of cuirass,
or bullet-proof vest, altho sometimes 1t
appears in that form of false shirt
front known to our country cousins
as a "dickey.'
Hardly heavier than ordinary cloth,
this cuirasse Benedict, as 1T is known
abroad, seems to be capable not only
Of resisting the passage Of bullet,
but Of neutralizing the shock one ex-
poets to follow the striking of such a
projectile against any object.
Heavy revo1vers We're used to send
tected by the cuirasse Benedetti, and
the animals evinced no evidence OF
discomfort.
In another experiment glass of
water was placed on top Of KNAPP
sack, protected by this mysterious ia
brio, and the knapsack suspended by
wires. This was used as a target for
the rifle used by the Italian army. Not
only was the bullet stopped, but the
water remained unspilled, showing
that the shock amounted to very lit
tie. There seems to beno doubt abou,
the results obtained with the cuirasse
Benedict, but the method Of its con
struction remains secret. i

P1TTsBURGERs LET GO BIG BLOCKS OF
STOCK.
New York, May 16.-Wall street declares that
the recent heavy selling of Steel shares has been
by Pittsburg interests. At the time OF the or
ganization of the corporation, the Pittsburg in
terests were among the largest holders of the
securities. In the summer Of 1902 it was stated
officially that the divers of Pittsburg owned
81, 100000 of the preferred stock and Sc 200 900
of the common stock.
An inventory of the personal property of the
late Henry Oliver, last week. showed that he
owned at the time of his death only 300 shares
of the preferred.
With the single exception Of Mr.. Schwab all
Of the the Pittsburgers have sold their holdings
ferred stock and more than $4,000 600 common
stock. Prick at the same time owned $4,000
600 preferred and than SIS, 900, 900 common.
The other Pittsburg millionairss were very large
holders. There is strong belief in Wall street
that nearly all of these Pittsburgers did the
same as Henry Oliver and sold their holdings at
high prices
