Payson "Our delay was absolutely

As they left the carriage. Mr.. Pay

why did you seem so surprised

"Why-I-thought you must be dis.

shorlhand 1000 Yeara oId.

Prof Friedrich Preislgke, of the
University of Strassburg, has been en-
gagged on the translation of certain
ancient Egyptian papyrus MSS. which
he recently discovered at Oxyphyn.0
chus, in Egypt. He has come to the
conclusion that the art of stenography
was certainly known to the Greeks in
Egypt. In a letter from a certain
merchant named Dionysius, to his SIS
ter, Dldyme, dnted November Is,
twenty-seven years after Christ, the
merchant complains that his sister has
not written to him either in the usual
character or geographically. Prof.
Preisigke believes the Greeks learned
stenography from the Egyptians and
bases his belief on papyri dated A. D..

The Dutch Succession.

The question as to the future occu-
pant of the Dutch throne occupies a
writer in lie Figaro of Paris. A re-
vision of the Constitution has become
necessary for the reason that should
the present Queen leave no heir the
throne would pass to German prince
Naturally the Dutch are distrustful OF
German princes, and particularly OF
this one. "of whom nothing is known
except that he knows nothing of the
country" Meanwhile the fear pre-
walls that whether German prince
succeeds or a republic be proclaimed,
the Kaiser will find some excuse to in
terfere and gain a footing in the coun-
try.-New York World.

Cinderella of staged0m. When Nan
Patterson went to the Criterion to live
il was to dwell in the finest OF suites.
Bedecked in her smartest frOcks ofiashlon
and attended twice day by professional
hairdressers and others whose arts are en-
ployed to fill the gap between nature
and vanity, her dreams OF triumph on
the stage were to her mind beginning TO
materialize.
1t was an abrupt leap from all this to
the tragic climax in the girls life. The
"Fl)rodora" company started on the
road, and Nan Patterson met Frank T..
Young, known throughout the world of
sports as Caesar Young, on the train as
she was going with the company to San
Francisco. A firtation started during
the trip.
Caesar Young's pockets bulged with
bank bills. His generous hand never
wearied with pulling of colossal rolls to
pay for the suppers, the wine, the crowns,
the thousaudsof pleasures Nan PaitersOn's 8
heart delighted in, and she yielded so
completely to the infstnation OF so gal
LIANT an admirer that she lost even that
ambition to win fame which had mis-
directed her life st the age OF 10,
A divorce from her husband, Leon j..
Martin, was obtained in San Francisco.
She knew that Caesar Young was mar
ried he had told her so the moment he
met her on the train going TO San Fran
cisco. But this daring plunger on the
turf, who had his string Of race horses
and who had money to spend and spent
it like lord, interested Nan Patterson
more than any other man had ever done
more even than the popular member
of the diplomatic corps at Washington,
favorite in society there and in New
York, who had paid attentions TO the
actress in that city.
Young always referred to the actress
as "the little girP' when chatting with
friends, and never made any secret OF the
fact that he was quite as much lost to her
charms rs she was hopelessly infatuated
with him, How intensely they loved
each other, particularly how intensely
Nan Patterson loved Caesar Young, is
strikingly illustrated in one Of the last
letters she is supposed TO have written to
him. That letter was written a short time
before the shooting and was as follows ;
Dearest failed to zee you today, and am
SO disappointed. ! am sorry that you are
angry with me. could not live without you
and you must not leave me.
