en- have lost sight of all class, race and
social conditions, and each has recog-
nized in the other the complement of self,
that something, that inspiration, that
sympathy, which will enable them both
more surely and completely to realize
their ideals in serving humanity.
But in the case of Mr.. Whitney, of
Montreal, the millionaire lumberman,
and Miss Bennett, the pretty telephone
girl, it is entirely different. Their ro-
nance is written all in loves most senti-
mental characters. A sweet voice float
ing over the wire, a pretty face seen
afterwards, a lonely old widower with a
susceptible heart, a courtship in which
flowers, and jewelry, carriage and auto
mobile rides, theater parties and dainty
and elaborate suppers figure prominent
ly. These are the elements we find in
this charming story, and to many a read
er it will prove the more interesting and
readable of the two.
Her Sweet Voice.

last year for a long stay. He took rooms
at the Aston house. One day he called

Humble Origin Of Rose Pastor.
Twenty-six years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in Augustovo, Suwalk.
Russia, a child of the p~easantry Tolstoi
and Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when
left Russia, but l think l can remember
a little about it, just a very little, faint
shadow of remembrance. Then there
was London, where we lived in White
chapel, and were very poor, indeed"
A chapter in her life which had it's be-
ginning in London in those early years
had an interesting sequel in New York
city recently, and reminds n OF the fact
that Pastor is not the real name of the
young Jewess. Her fathers name was
Jacob Weisslender, and about a year
after their removal to London he was di-
vorced from her mother, and all trace
of the man was lost.
Finds Her Father.
Mrs. Weisslender married a man
named Pastor, and Rose took her STEP
fathers name. He died several years
ago, and the support Of the family fell on

Rose, the eldest child. When she moved
to New York, about two years ago, and
obtained employment on the Jewish
Daily News, she set about to find her
father. Her friends assisted her, and
about Is months ago Bennett Lieberman,
who worked with her, discovered an old
cobbler in a little shop on SCANNED
street. The name on the sign was Yam.

Rose Pastors father.
Mrs. Pastor and her daughter sought
the Scanned street place. The old shoe
maker had taken unto himself a young
wife. Mother and daughter never again
revisited the place, and they have kept
their secret, A short time after the visit
Weisslender sold his shop and left the
city. He is now believed to be in Scran-

thousand miles with
out a stop, and at the rate of 100 miles
or more an hour, is the capacity of a
new type of locomotive witch has been
ordered by a railroad making its head
quarters here. If it does all that it's
makers promise for it, this locomo-
tive, which is a revision of the Dissel
engine, will revolutionize transporta-
ton.
The locomotive, or, really, power
house on wheels, is entirely different
from anything now in use. The cost
of operating 1t will be less than one
calf the cost of operating the present
type of steam engine. Fuel oil, costing
but three or five cents a gallon, is the
only fuel that has to be purchased, and
there is no necessity of erecting and
maintaining an expensive water tank
or coal chutes. The machine is what is
known as the four-stroke cycle. There
is a compressed air reservoir, from
which the power is obtained for start
ing. This gives the piston its first
strokes when it takes the air alone at
atmospheric pressure and temperature.
The second stroke congresses this air
and raises it to a temperature Of about
1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The third
stroke is practically an expansion, with
stroke. The oil is sprayed into the hot
air, inc amount being regulated by
governors. During the first part Of this
stroke the combustion of this oil is car
ried on at a constant pressure for a
period that is regulated by the amount
of oil sprayed. The second part of the
stroke is practically an expansion, with
transference Of heat, and the fourth
stroke exhausts the gases.

THE MARAUDER.

There came a beggar to my door,
A comely little lad,
With sun-kissed hair and azure eyes,
With pensiye mien, and sad.
So meek he seemed-so ~poor-alone.
I wept at such il%l-faring-
Regardez! When he entered in
He proved a robber daring.
He barred the door. he barred the pane,
(Defenseless quite he found mel,
A prisoner in my own demesne,
With ~braggart oaths he bound me.
He Knocked my tears, he stole my heart,
With jest and gibe to flout me;
With rose-leaf strung on rose-leaf red
He wove his chains about me.
Quoth he: "Such sorry garb as yours
No thief would deign to borrow!"
He stripped me of my Cynic's robe,
OF Loneliness and Sorrow.
He found my store of Doubts and Fears,
Made loot to merry measure;
He scattered far to left and right
A hoard of doleful treasure.
He sealed my lips with kisses three,
And swore he'd stay no longer,
But though he made to loose my chains
l felt the links grow stronger.
Ay, strong as steel, these shackles rweet

A prisoner in my WI demesne,
Love holds me fast forever.

A
PORTRAIT

r W0 children, a boy and a girl,
stood before a painting that hung
upon the wall. The boy gazed with all
his soul in his eyes, dimly conscious,
perhaps, Of what the picture would
some day mean to him. 1t represented
a soldier mounted on a black charger,
and the mans face was eager, ardent
and earnest. With sword in his uplift-
ed hand he seemed urging men to bat
tie.
The little girl indifferently glanced
at the portrait from time to time. She
had seer it so many times, and then,
too, patriotism had not yet awakened
in her u~ndisciplined little heart. She
was proud in the thought. however,
that she possessed something of alb
sorbing interest to her new neighbor.
Finally, she began to relate the story
she had heard so often.

PHOTOGRAPHIC AN OWL.
Easy Of Accomplishment If a Dog Be
Brought to View Of the
Bird.

The great horned owl may also be
fascinated by a dog, writes Silas A. Lot
fridge, in THE Great Horned OWL in
st. Nicholas. And the photographing
of the great horned owl under these con-
ditions is not difficult; wait Until the
owl seizes the fowl and stops to rest on
the return to the woods; then let a dog
be led to within 20 or 80 feet Of the owl,
and the bird will be all attention for
the dog and take no apparent notice Of
the person leading it. The behavior Of
the owl at such times is very amusing.
1t stands motionless, gazing intently at
the dog; but after a few minutes, IL the
dog remains quiet, the bird seems to
become nervous, and steps first to one
side and then to the other, kissing, snap
ping its beak, and rnffling its feathers.
After this the owl will usually try to
make off with its prey; but If another
halt is made, the birds actions show
even more nervousness. While the
owls attention is thus attracted is tho
time to approach within %"photo-dis-
lance" to get the Snapshots"

by a group of old-time friends who
claimed his attention and recognition
after his years of foreign travel. Look
ing beyond the little group about him
into the ballroom, his rowing gaze was
instantly caught and held by the
vision of a girl with a pair of won
derful dark and deep eyes, an exquisite
face and a quiet dignity in the carriage
of her svelte figure.
who is she?" he asked of the man
nearest him, and ever before the an
swer came he knew the name would
be Lucille Felton,"
Look out!' he was warned. LUCILLE
cannot be accused of flirting. but she
attracts all men and always turns them
down"
She saw him coming across the room
and knew him by the winsome brown
eyes that were still the eyes of the
little boy she had played with years
before.
ooh, yes!" she said carelessly, as he
recalled himself to her memory. ~

Then she turned to a man immacu-
late in evening dress who claimed ner
for the waltz.
Paul Willis stood gazing after them,
all his ardor and impetuosity dam
pened by her n%onchalent greeting. She
smiled softly to herself through the
waltz. The little" Lucille FELTON, at
ID had at last been avenged. All the
evening he watched her dancing and
chatting with her partners, always gay
and careless. His whole heart went
ous to her.
Just before the last dance he found
an opportunity to speak with her
alone. He was tongue-tied from this
new, strange feeling.
Are your parents well?" he finally
asked abruptly. A shadow came over
her face. The fan she had trembled.
Did you not know? They died four
years ago."
Forgive mel did not know" he
said.
And the old home" she continued,
lifting saddened eyes to his, burned

She was more beautiful still with this
sudden sorrow in her eyes.

Then others came up to her and he

her old careless n toward him.

New York City.-What queer pranks
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and lets his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses to look
and to listen. Love is such an old, old
story, and Cupid has been so long en-
gagged in his magic archery, making two
souls content with but a single thought
and causing two hearts to beat as one,
that the ordinary, commonplace love at
fair causes scarcely a ripple on the vast
sea of life as it rolls on to the eternal
shores. But occasionally Cupid quite
outdoes himself. Apparently he becomes
impatient with simply performing the
expected, and twang, twang goes his
bow, and swish, swish go the fleeting ar
rows, and the unexpected has happened.
The rich, and the poor, the high and the
low, the gray hairs of winter and the
fresh bloom of summer are brought to-
gether in charming harmony, and at
such times the world likes to pause and
gaze on the romantic picture. 1t de-
lights to study the roseate hues, the
warmth and fullness of coloring, the
striking contrasts, the brilliant lights
that CLINT and flash through the picture
and then it likes to wonder in soberer
frame of mind if there will be any darker
shades which the years will paint into
the picture to destroy the first flush and
glory Of Cupid's daring work.
Cupid knows that love has a universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and ever die, ii need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds of
the human heart. He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full well, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaving the
heart of a young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, a Yale graduate,

and a club man, and the heart Of a poor
Hebrew maiden, a Russian Jewess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest, and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out that the
mother and five other children might
have bread and shelter. Cupid has
strangely linked the proud name of John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown,
yet e%uphonious name, of Rose Harriet
Pastor.
Cupid's Double Play.
But Cupid has done more than this.
He has made in New York what might
be called a double play, and from one
end of the land to the other his strange
pranks are interesting and fascinating
the reading public. A wealthy business
mar of Montreal, a man Of mature years
as well as of great riches, has fallen vic
tim to the charms Of a hello" girl.
Cupid has discovered an affinity between
a Mr.. E. r. Whitney, capitalist, and sage
of 10, and Miss Anna Bennett, telephone
operator, and winsome maiden OF some
20 summers, and this is the second re-
markable romance which is setting the
tongues Of the gossips to wagging and
giving the public something else to think
about besides Standard Oil wickedness
and tainted money, the beef trust in
vestigation, or the Hyde and Alexander
Assco.

Loyal to Old Friends.
In her prosperity Miss Bennett has
not forgotten her less fortunate friends
Of her hello" days. The bridesmaid
at the wedding is to be Miss Ida
Schwindt, another telephone operator
who presides at the switchboard of
the Park Avenue hotel. Mr.. Whitney
has handed her a handsome check to
provide herself with a bridesmaids
gown. But of this or of her elderly
fiance's wealth Miss Bennett will not
speak.
Telephone Gossip.
There are certain things which at the
other telephone girls in New York have
heard, but which none of the interested
parties will confirm. Call up any Cen
trial." and she will tell you the gossip.
These are, that Mr.. Whitney has already
settled 100000 upon Mr.. Bennett and
that he and her father were present at
the signing of the papers; that her we'd
ding gift will be a $4,000 automobile;
that Miss Schwindt has received $500 for
her bridesmaids dress and a diamond
cluster ring for a souvenir, and that Mr..
Whitney himself is one of New York's
new unknown m~illionaires.
Mr.. Whitney doesn't look his years.
He is powerfully built, more than six
feet tall, and has apparently many years
yet to live. He is as sprightly and at
tentive as a man half his years. He
made his money in asphalt and lum-

river steamers or about railroad
freight yards, the old methods OF
trucking still prevail.
Where it is necessary to weigh this
freight, as is often the case, much
time is lost in transferring it to and
from the scales, and in order to over
come this new invention combines q

are automatic and require very little
addition to the regular construction OF
the truck. The invention provides for

adds very little weight to that OF the

of this feature Of the truck it is out OF
