COLOR COMBINATIONS.
How They Were Cleverly Used In
Exposing q Fraud.

In large factory in which were en-
ployed several hundred persons one Of
the workmen In welding his hammer
carelessly allowed 1t to slip from his
hand. 1t flew halfway across the room
and struck fellow workman in tho
left eye. The man afterward averred
that his eye was blinded by the blow,
although a careful examination failed
to reveal any injury. there being not q
scratch visible.
He brought suit In the courts for
compensation for the loss Of half Of
his eyesight, and refused all offers of
compromise. Under the law the owner
Of the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident Of
this kind.
The day of the trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent ocullst, retained
by the defense, examined the alleged
injured member and gave it as his
opinion that 1t was ms good as the right
eye.
Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of
his inability to see with his left eye

satisfied the court and jury of the fal-
sity Of his claim. He did 1t simply by
knowing that the colors green and red
combined make black.
He prepared black card, on which
few words were written in green ink
Then the plaintlf1 was ordered to put
on n pair OF spectacles with two differ
ent glasses. the one for the right eye
being red, and the one for the left eye
consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
card was handed to him, and he was
ordered to read the writing on II
through the glasses.
This he did without hesitation. and
the cheat was at once exposed. Owing
to the effect which the colorsd glass
must have had upon the green writing
the sound right eye fitted with the red
glass could not possibly distinguish
the writing on the black surface of the
card, while the left eye, which he pre-
tended was sightless, was the one with

Hadley leaned forward suddenly.

Bishop r1cCabe Died Yesterday.
NEW YORK. Dec 10.

Bishop Charles @. McCabe. of the
Methodist Episcopal church, died in
the New York hospital at . 20 a. m.
today. Death was due to apoplexy,
with which the Bishop was stricken
December IL, while passing through
this city on his way to his home in
Philadelphia.
Mrs. McCabe and the Bishops nece,
who have been with him almost con-
stantly since he was stricken, were at
the bedside when he passed away.
!. The night before he was stricken
Bishop McCabe had delivered his lec-
ture, 1.-THE Sunny Side of Life in Lib
by Prison." at Torrington, Conn. Ac-
companied by DR.. George p. Mains,
publishing agent of the Methodist
church, the bishop had reached the
West Twenty Third street terminal of
the Pennsylvania railroad and was
about to step upon ferry boat when
he staggered and fell unconscious. He
was carried into the ferry house and
later was removed to the New York
hospital, where he received treatment
as private patient.
The indications of the twenty four
hours following were that the shock
had been slight, and the patients con-
dition gave promise of speedy re-
covery. Just before the attack he had
walked priskly and carried grip
weighted with books and papers with
out apparent fatigue.
Bishop McCabe, however, early real
lied the seriousness of his illness and
his first words upon returning to con-
seriousness were:
please notify my wife that I am
very i'll. and ask her to come at once. !"
That night Mrs. McCabe, niece
and the bishops secretary arrived from
Philadelphia and nave since remained
at the hospital.
The condition of the patient did not
change materially until early Satur-
day last, when he lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. From then on the Bishop
failed gradually and Monday the ply
sicians in attendance said that the out
come was no longer in doubt.e
HBishop McCabe was born at Athens,
Ohio, October II, 1886. He entered the
Ohio conference of the Methodist
church in 1860 and two years later be-
came chaplain of the 122d Ohio In
fantry. He was captured in the battle
of Winchester and spent four months
in Libby prison. His experiences as a
prisoner of war were later recounted
on the lecture platform. For more
than thirty years he was pcpulsrly
known as Chaplain McCabe and the
title clung to him even after the gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
church in 1896 made him bishop.
Following the war he became pastor
of a church at Portsmouth, Ohio, and
later was associated as assistant Sec
retary with.the Board of Churcn. Ex-

misdemeanor. the soldiers OF a COM

lines facing each other, each man arm
ed with a switch. The culprit ran be-

his bare back the switches Of his com
rades. An officer stood by to see that
the punishment was properly enforced,
and any soldier who failed to do his
duty was himself liable to make the

brahms Was Not socfa Me.

Anecdotes about Brahms show the
composer to have been a somewhat
unamiable companion. His wit was
brilliant, but cruel, and its direct OBJ
ject could rarely Join in the amusement
1t created. One story begins with the
statement that rs performer Brahms
had an extremely hard touch. This
once led a musician who was accom-
panying him on the cello to exclaim.
II don't hear myself" "Ah," replied
Brahms, "you are lucky fellow"
When he left the room after a lively
evening among friends he used to re-
mark, "1f there Is any one present
whose feelings have not hurt, trust
he will receive my humble apology"
Brahms never could bring himself to
produce an opera. "If composed one
which failed, 1 should certainly have a
second try" he said to pressing friends,
but cannot make up my mind to the
first. To me the undertaking seems
much the same as marriage" The lat
ter institution found no favor IN his
eyes, and he lived an Isolated exist
ence, recognizing no kinsfolk.

might lurk under that wiry exterior!
She leaned forward.

she called in clear. penetrating tones.
"but it must be very warm In the sun.
Wouldn't you like to rest awhile In the
shade" Then. dismayed by her own
hardihood, Miss Levering blushed.
The man gasped and dropped his
fork. For a second he stared biankly
at the vision under the oak tree, a
dainty vision In cool muslin, all rose
bloom on a creamy ground. Then be
hastily pulled his hat from his head
and approached her, eying her with an
expression between admiration and ap-
prehension as the meaning Of her
words filtered through his brain.
"Thank you, MISS" he said respect
fully, dropping in warm, disjointed
heap under the spreading branches.
There was a twinkle in his eyes at
variance with the gravity of bis long,
thin face. 1t was not customary for
the young ladies of Windsor Falls to
address the help as my good man."
Miss Levering felt distinctly cheer
full. "Haying Is hard work." she be-
gan sympathetically.
at is," he admitted Hard Of itself
and hard because 1t leads to nothing
beyond itself" he added, with a CLEAN
of inspiration.
Miss Levering's eyes rewarded him
for his discrimination. She wondered
vaguely If he were not rather above
the average type; not that he was
good looking-his face was too long
and thin for that-but he seemed recep-
tive. and he certainly wore his coarse
clothes with an ease city bred man
might have envied. 1t was pity that
man evidently fitted for better things
should go to waste in this little village.
He needed wider horlzon-a broader
outlook. Well, she would see what she
could do for him.
So the couple sat together under the
oak tree very often or wandered
through the shaded country lanes, and
he listened. always intent and respect
full, while she expounded her hopes and
aims for humanity in general and for
him in particular

you? Your life seems SO petty. 80 mar

complishment"-
And Holden agreed with her and
smiled upon her with look behind the
twinkle In his eyes that made her come
near to forgetting her station in life
and her altruistic aims generally.
The sun was near the western hills
one day before the stage came peaI-
Ing its quota Of daily mall. That she
might not miss the glory of the sunset
Miss Levering took her letters and
magazines and turned up the road to
where from her vantage seat on rock
she could see the splendor Of the hills
outlined against the flaming sky.
Her letters were soon disposed of,
and she opened a magazine and Idly
turned the leaves, then suddenly sat
