Any way, he refused to go away, OF
to accept her as a sister. He simply
staid on and announced that he would
wait Cor the arousing of her woman's
nature which, he averred must come
some day.
Things were not wholly comfort
able or normal, however, and so far
as Mann was concerned, certainly not
joyous. when he met at his club one
day an old friend, an Italian gentle
man with whom he had become very
well acquainted one summer when he
was abroad. The Italian was musi-
cian-a violinist of exceptional abil-
ity and high reputation. He had
come to tour America with his Won
derful violin. After greetings had
been duly exchanged, the two sat
down and had a long chat, renewing
the old acquaintance most happily.
Mann could not keep back the great
change in his life and the disappoint-
ment with which he had met. Signor
Nallet was all sympathy, but reso-
lutely skeptical regarding the. lady's
incapacity to experience the gentle
joys of love.

asked Nalleti. "Zat is zee key to un-

Mann. 1--WE bombarded her with the

But zee music-zee vera language

Italian.
'Oh. yes. after fashion," replied
Mann, "but the girl is absolutely de-
void of musical qualities. She does
not sing a note. and does not even
thump on the piano. She is utterly in

BUDAPEST, Nov. 23.-One Of
the local newspapers has caused
considerable amusement and COM
ment by publishing the following
announcement: 1T has come to
our notice that hundreds of the in
habitants of this city have found
much interest in reading the novel
entitled The Son of Valpurga,'
which appeared in serial form In
the columns of our contemporary,
the Vasarhelyi. The novel, we are
informed, ended yesterday because
Orlando, the hero, pursued by enc
mics, took refuge in a cave and
there was slain. We are glad to
inform all our readers and those
who are interested in the fate of
Orlando, that he was not killed,
but succeeded in escaping from
the cave. We have acquired the
exclusive rights to continue the
publication of the novel, and will
not tolerate again for a moment
that the author of the series should
kill his hero simply because he did
not receive sufficient pay from the
editor of our stingy contemporary"

HAVANA, Nov. 23.-Close upon
the report that the Americans of
the Isle of Pines, near the south.
ern coast of Cuba, have declared
their independence from Cuba and
have established their own, indie
pendent government, comes the
news that the revolutionary move
ment was supported by a clique of
wealthy Americans, who have a de.
cidedly practical object in view. It
is stated on what is believed to be
good authority that an American
syndicate intends to make the Isle
of Pines a second Monaco. 1t is
said to be their intention to erect
upon the island a magnificent ca.
sino and a large number of expen-
sive residences, which will be rent
ed for the winter season to wealthy
people who wish to spend the win
ter in that beautiful climate and,
at the same time, enjoy the sport
and excitement which a large gam.

do not wish to be burdened with a
large household, several large and

WASHINGTON D. c.. Nov. %
The most important hanges in the
organizations of the United States
mail service were not indicated in
the general order which was made
public couple of days ago.
A long talk with Postmaste
General Cortelyou brings out the
fact that first class postoffices are
to be included in the merit system,
and no longer are TO be treated as
political spoils.
This news is sensational enough
to stagger the politicians and the
postmasters, but they will soon be
convinced.

OF course that sounds revolu-
tionary. 1t is a hard dose to swal-
dow. But Cortelyou is not given
to talking, and behind Cortelyou
is Roosevelt
The first principle entering into
Cortelyou's reorganization scheme
is that the heads of the larger post
offices-and that means all above
the grade of fourth class-are to
have larger powers and a fuller
measure of discretion.
Up TO this time the postmaster
has been seriously hampered by
