MRS. SCHWAB'S PRAYER.

Pittsburg, Sept 26-According to
what are considered reliable reports, the
wife Of the Pittsburg nulti-millionaire
who recently asked Pope Plus X. TO pray
that she might become good Roman
Catholic, was Mrs Charles M. Schwab,
wife Of the former president of the
United States Steel Corporation. The
report from Rome was that the Pitts
burg woman presented to the pope a
card on which was written: "Pray,
holy father, that | may obtain the grace
of becoming Catholic" Charles M,
Schwab' is a member of the Roman
Catholic faith, but his wife, by birth and
training, was an Episcopalian. 1t has
long been tunored that she intended to

3 London, Sept 26 Europe finds that
as a result Of the war in the far east she
must adjust herself to new balance In
the scale 81 international relationship!
Japan is not the only courltr- that has
won, nor Isl Russia the only loser
through the eighteen months fighting
in Asia. sss lE
The two countries that have gained
most are Germany and Great Britain
Before the war Germany was practically
isolated in Europe. 81 II
s The dual alliance between France and
Russia forced Germany to occupy the
position Of a nut between the teeth of
powerful crackers
Immediately the war in the far east
broke out Gernlany's opportunity came.
Russia, even to protect her possessions
iii Asia, could not afford to denude her
European provinces of troops without
first securing the consent of Germany.
The kaiser therefore was in a position
TO put the car under deep obligation

This he did BY saying practically to

as many troops as you please from your
western frontier promise you not to

March had come, but winter is tenn.
c1ou IN Massachusetts. There were
rev signs Of a breakup. The tops Of
Inc hills were still covered, no tinkle
came from the frozen creeks.
Tom Mowbray, ascending to the ton
OF Old Pine Knob. after a coast Of
nearly half a mile on his stout sleigh
looked on a fairy world. The ever
greens were loaded with snow and
bearded with hoar frost, the dark
green boughs standing out between
Ike wondrous o1rvings in frames Of
purest white. The air was like honey
and diamonds. Everything glittered
b%lindingly beneath the sun. which
shone, brilliant and hard, from a
cloudless sky.
Painting. Mowbray paused a mo-
ment on the top of Old Pine before
dropping upon the sled for another
dash down the road, a creamy ribbon
between smooth white hills. It was
a goodly stretch Of country he sur
veyed. On the right Of the road and
halfway to the foot of the hill stood

willing to Pay For Hi. Contempt.

VIKING 10 ray tOr his contempt
The following anecdote is told Of
General Gilman Marston, q once ia
nous New Hampshire lawyer:
General Marston was attending court
at Dover, when a young attorney made
a motion that was denied by the court.
The young man demonstrated against
what he thought was the wrong ruling
Of the Judge. So vehemently did he re-
monstrate that he was fined $40 for
contempt Of court. An older attorney
took the matter up, and he was fined q
similar sum. Still another, who thought
he stood a little better with the Judge,
endeavored to straighten the matter
out, but he, too, enriched the Golfers Of
the state by paying a ten spot for
contempt.
General Marston was then seen to
rise in his seat and advance to the
clerks desk. Taking his long pocket
book from his pocket, he took out two
ten dollar bills and laid them on the
desk.
What is that for" said the court.
81 want you to distinctly under
stand" said the general, that have
lust twice as much contempt for this
court as any man here, and l am pay
ing for it."-Boston Herald.

troubled by vagrant wind, rose straight
in the air. A few rods beyond the
house the railroad track crossed the
road. At the bottom Of the little val
ley the iron bridge over Winkoos
creek marked the end of his coast.
Tom was twenty-four and stood a
full six feet, but he still loved, boy
like, to cruise at breakneck speed over
courses that would have frightened
expert tobogganists. The road down
Old Pine was treacherous, icy from
the warm MONDAY sun and the mid
night frosts. 1t was full Of quick
dips and turns, which sent many a
youth careering over the snow crust
on head and shoulders while his sled
followed a path OF It's own in another
direction.
Mowbray's long coaster. OF stout oak
frame, shod with springy steel run
ners. was paused for another birdlikc
flight when a vehicle appeared on the
bridge, headed toward Old Pine. 1t
was an old fashioned cutter drawn
by q ponderous farm horse. A splotch
Of red was visible above the cutter,
whereupon Toms heart beat inconti-
nently. Horse and cutter were the
property of John Higgins, Mowbray's
neighbor on the north; the carmine was
Ia tam o. shanter. and the person be-
meath it was Mrs. Higgins pretty niece
from Boston, Miss Jessie Boone.

caught the prim and unaccustomed
manner in which the girl held the

thing new for her, but she's safe as a
church. . Duke won't run away, al
taough"-the smile became a grin
II don't say s he won't balk."
Kincassett, the nearest town, was
two miles back Of Old Pine. Long
years Of jogging along the road and
lover the steep hill had made a misan-
thrope OF Duke. He learned to balk,
briefly and unayaillngly with Higgins,
but where strangers were concerned
with entire and disconcerting success.
The balky fits were intermittent.

Ia protest, mute Indignation visible

Duke had evidently been on his good
behavior or the Higginses would never
have trusted their guest to his tender
mercies.
The horse and his id~iosyncrasies d1d
not long occupy Mowbray's mind. Miss
Boone was a much more agreeable
subject for thought, a subject which
had been ever present in Mowbray's
brain since her arrival a week before.
