AQUA MARINE FOR ALICE.
Taft Party Will Give Bride a COST,

aIt FdTty VIII Tive BRIDE Costly
Souvenir Of Trip.
Washington. Feb. 14.-Within a. few
hours Miss Alice Roosevelt will re-
ceive the much-discussed present from
members of the party which accom-.
panied Secretary Taft in his famous
trip to the Philippines.
Several meetings were held by men,
bers of the Taft party and 1t was fin
ally decided to give Miss Roosevelt a
pendant of aqua marine. The stone is
OF the clearest blue and Of an unusual
size. It is surrounded by a hoop of
diamonds and is fashioned so that 1t
may be worn as a pendant or as a
brooch. The clasp for the brooch is
concealed so as not to be visible when
the stone is suspended from a chain
Members of the party have long
been considering a gift which might
suggest to Miss Roosevelt in a signi-
ficant way her famous trip to the orr
ent. Pearls and corals figured largely
in their calculations, but even these
stones did not seem particularly ap.
propriate, and it is limited that it was
the ingenious secretary of war who
first thought of an aqua marine. The
name of the stone is sufficient to re-
cali to the young bride-elects mind
weeks and weeks on the Pacific.
The girls in the party, particularly,
could hardly keep the secret and, in
spite of the fact that the secretary
who has been engineering this little
scheme. gave strict orders that moth
ing will be said. the secret has leaked
cut.
From this it would seem that Miss
Rocsevelts jewel casket will receive
many interesting additions. She has
already received diamond chain
from Representative Longworth, and
a similar gift from Miss Jean Reid.

third of it's kind to find it's way to the

part of the fateful Year Three, when
the overdue crash came, he was best
known as a reckless plunger in real
estate-this, mind you, at a moment
when every third man counted his
gains in front feet" aad was shouting
himself hoarss at the daily Grassland
lot sales.
When the bottom fell out in the au-
tumn Of the Year Three, Kent fell with
It, though not altogether as far or as
hard as many another. One Of his pro-
fessional hold-fasts-it was the one
that afterward became the bread
tackle in the famine time-was his
position as local attorney for the rail-
way company BY reason Of this he
was among the first to have hint Of
the impending cataclysm. The West
ern Pacific, after so long a pause on
the banks of Dry creek, had hoated
its second mortgage bonds and would
presently build on to the capital, leav-
ing CASTOR to way-station quietude.
Therefore and wherefore
Kent was not lacking in native
shrewdness or energy. He foresaw,
not the pitable bubble-burst which en-
sued indeed, but the certain and in
evitable end of the speculative era
Like everyone else, he had bought
chiefly with promises to pay. and the
paper in the three banks aggregated
a sum equal to a frugal New Hamp-
shire competence.
How long have got?' was the
laconic wire he sent to Loring, the
secretary Of the Western Pacific Ad-
visory Board in Boston. from whom
his hint had come. And when LOrlng
replied that the grading and track
laying contracts were already award
ed. there was at least one "long" on
the CASTOR real estate exchange who
wrought desperately night and day

AS It turned out, the race against
time was both a victory and a defeat.

The sky II wears as soft a blue
As formerly II used TO do.
And Sol comes forth with strength Of

AS splendid as in ancient time:
And sunbeams hide among the dew
Fair jewels, as they used to do.
The tyrant Winter has its sway.
But so II had In former day
And Spring comes forth all glad and neW
As lovely as she used TO do.
And Summer doth her fruits bestow.
And gives her flowers to high and low,
And bids the birds to sing as gay
As ever in a former day.
The silver morn with misty vail
Reflects at night the same sweet tale
The tale for ages she has told.
AS calm and placid as OF old.
Beneath her soft. her silver light
The lovers vow and give their plight
And Cupid has not lost the art
TO throw successfully his dart.

his final mortgaged holding in CASTOR
realty. When it was done he locked
himself in his Office in the Farquhar
building and balanced the account On
leaving the New Hampshire country
town to try the new cast for fortune
in the golden west, he had turned his
small patrimony into cash-some
$4,000 of IL. To set over against the
bill of exchange for this amount. which
he had brought TO CASTOR a year
earlier, there were a clean name. q
few hundred dollars in the bank. six
lots. bought and paid for, in one Of this
CASTOR suburbs, and a vast deal OF
experience.
Kent ran his hands through his hair,
opened the check-book and hastily
filed out a check payable to himself
for the rems lining few hundreds.
When he reached the Apache National
on the corner of Colorado an Texan
streets, he was the 127th man in tho
queue, which extended around the
corner and doubled back and forth in
cross-street TO the stoppage Of all
traffic The announcement in the
Clarion had done It's work, and the
baleful flower of panic. which is the
juggler's rose for quick-growing pos
sibilities. was filling the very air Of the
street with its acrid perfume-the
the scent of all others that soonest
drives men mad.
Major James Guilford, the presi-
dent of the Apache National, was in
the cage with the sweating paying tel
lers, and II was to him that Kent pre-
scented his check when his turn came
what! You, too, Kent?" said the
president, reproachfully. Il thought
you bad more backbone"
Kent shook his head.
Castor has absorbed nine-tenths OF
the money | brought here; I'll alb
sorb the remaining tenth myself. II it's
just the same TO you, Major. Thank
YOU" And the 127th man pocketed
his salvage from the wreck and fought
his way out through the jam at the
doors. Two hours farther along in
the forenoon the Apache National sus-
pended payment, and the bank exam
liner was wired for.
For suddeness and thoroughgoing
completeness the CASTOR bubble-burst-
ing was a record breaker. For a week
and a day there was frantic struggle
for enlargement, and by the expira-
ton of a fortnight the life was pretty
well trampled out of the civic corpse
