A MOUNTED TELEPHONE.
A Leavenworth Officers Ingenious De-
vice Reported to the War Depart
ment at Washington.

Washington, Dec 5.-An ingenious
device by which the horse Is made a
part of an electrical circuit, has been
reported to the War department by
Lieut.. A. c. Knowles, Thirteenth In
fantry, at Fort Leavenworth, who has
been making tests intended to permit
Geographic and telephone communi-
cations between mounted operators.
This will permit the mounted opera
tor to transmit messages to his base
whenever necessary without stopping
his horse and is accomplished by
placing a small piece of copper (prop-
erly connected to the telegraph or tel
ephone Instrument against the ami
mails body, thus completing ground
connection through the horses hoofs.
The tests were made over all kinds of
ground and conversation was carried
on without difficulty between the two
operators separated by five miles of
wire, the horses standing in the
grass.

Immediately; but l beg of you to re-
consider your determination, and to re-
main here as long as you please. For
the sake of appearances, l desire your

The duke shrugged. There was nc

said, choking down his wrath. He
could not allow himself to be outdone
in the matter of GOODNESS by this chit
of an English girl.
81 grantft you"
The duke then retired, or, | should
say, retreated. He wandered aimlessly
about the palace, waiting for news and
making wretched all those with whom
he came in contact. The duchess was
not feeling well; a wrangle with her
was out of question; besides. he would
make himself hoarse. So he waited
and waited, and re-read the prince SIS
letter. At dinner he ate nothing; bis

What is it," asked the minister.

What is it?' asked the minister.
"a clew?"
Nothing, nothing! Be gone; you
are wasting time"
The minister of police dashed out of
the room as if pursued by thousand
devils. He knew the dukes mood; 1t
was not one to cross or irritate. No
sooner was he gone than the duke left
his apartments and sought those of his
niece. 1t might be a joke; 1t would do
no harm to find out positively. But
the beautiful suite was empty; even
her highness' maid was gone. He then
knocked on the door which led into
Betty's boudoir, not very gently either.
"Open!" he beloved.

frightened voice.
"The duke! Open Instantly!
1T is quite impossible" said another
voice from within. 1t was calm and
firm. Il am dressing"

or | shall force the door,"
"Is your serene highness mad?'
Twill you open this door%'
you command it,"
"a hundred times, yes!"
"Since you command it." The voice
was no longer calm; it was sharp and
angry.
The wait seemed an hour to his Sc
rene highness, serene no longer. AT
length the bolt slipped, and the irate
duke shouldered his way in. The tab
leau which met his gaze embarrassed
him for a space. He was even ashamed!
The Honorable Betty stood behind a
tall-backed chair, an opera cloak
thrown hastily over her bare shoulders.
Her hair was partly down. A beautiful
woman in rage is fascinating sight.
The duke stared at her irresolutely.

You have literally forced your way

is utterly outside my understanding

That is the weakest excuse you
could give me. At your age ones blood
ought to be cooled to a certain discre-
ton. My father, If he had had any
thing important to say, would have re-

| am not deaf. Your explanation is in
order"
The duke had never been talked to
so plainly in all his life. For while
he was without voice, but had plenty
OF color. 1T is easily explained" he
finally bawled out to her. Her high
ness has eloped!"
The girl stared at him with wide
eyes. "Eloped?" she breathed family.
Yes, eloped.".
Betty wondered II she heard Alright,
or il the duke were out of his mind;
and then she recsllected her converse
ton with the princess. Her mouth
opened as If to speak, but instead she
closed her lips tightly. That wilful
girl; whatever would become of her!
Give this letter to your mistress, "
said the duke to the maid. Il will sta
ton myself in the window while she
reads it"
He strobe over to the window and
drew the curtains about him. Below,
the night crowds were wandering
about the streets; the band was play
ing in the Volksgarten; carriages were
rolling to and from the opera; the
fountain in the center of the square
sparkled merrily in the glare of the
arc lights. But the duke saw none OF
these things. Rather he saw the tele-
graphic dispatches flying to the four
ends of the globe, telling the peoples
that he, the Grand Duke of Barscheit
had been outwitted by a girl; that the
Princess Hildegarde had eloped with a
man who was not the chosen one. In
other words, he saw himself laughed
at from one end Of the continent tc
the other. (There is something very
funny in domestic troubles when they
occur in another mans familyD No
the duke saw not the beauty Of the
night: instead of stars he saw aster
isks. that abominable astronomy oil
the lampoonists. He had never doubt
ed the girls courage; but to elope!
And who the devil had eloped
with her? He knew the girls natural
pride; whoever the fellow might he
