horse or automobile race is not in the
same class, and even the human race Is
quite tame along side of it. The excite
ment Is not confined to the competitors.
The spectators share it, and they feel
as the balloonist does that it is race
against time and space, with death as
competitor with a possible chance Of
winning. The balloon racer Is unques-
tionably above other racing men. He
goes over course in which ordinarily
no obstacles can be placed, and he usu-
ally has the track to himself.

are really the racers of the aerial track,
and the daring balloonists are the jock

When all was In readiness, at a CIV

with loud swish. A mighty shout
arose from the assembled spectators.
For few moments the racers seemed
to be about neck and neck In the race,

BALLAD OF AN OLD FRIEND.

It seems since Dobhin-boy was foaled
A little year has passed, nor more
The butter-howers of their gold,
The glossiest, spread gen'rous store
On lane and paddock, smiles that wore
First cheerly day he gambolled free.
And now he's aged-as they deplore
But Dobbin's good enough for me.
They brought me, cast In nobler mould,
A horse from some outlandish shore,
And babe me ride him. Love makes bold
/ disobeyed, and, as before,
Ger hill and dale with Dobbin tore.
Said l, TITS true that horse may be
From Shetland Isles or Singapore;
But Dobbin's good enough for me u
Ano still, though all the stables hold
Is at my service, as of yore,
It's Dobbin-not the 4-year-old-
I order groomed and round at four.
Dick, versed o'erwell in racing lore,
Delights to call him tauntingly
A sorry jade without score;
But Dobbin's good enough for me.
Prince, here's Impatience at the door
With proud arched neck, as one may
see,
A steed with mettle meet for war
But Dobbin's good enough for me!

fifty feet as a result Of some manipu-
lation. For some minutes the balloons
appeared to hold the positions attained
at the start, and then the red and
green noticeably gained on the red and
white. The two by this time were far
ahead of the others, and it was evil
dent to all that one of the two balloons
In the lead would win the race, and the
betting became wildly enthusiastic.
Farther and farther up into space they
arose. Now they would appear to be
going inland, and again as they entered
a higher current of air they would ap-
pear to be going seward at fright
full pace, and one would hear a groan
Of dismay from the spectators Soon
the two became mere specks In the sky,
and 1t was no longer possible to learn
which was in the lead. The anxious
spectators learned the result Of the race
by telegraph two hours later, the red
and white having travelled the greatest
distance by far in the specified time.
There was not hitch or accident In
the race. In spite Of the danger which
Is certainly always present with such
sport, balloon racing Is rapidly growing
in popularity.

May l see my wife 80 that can ex-
plain to her this dafnnable riddle you

suppressed anger.
"No, sir, you cannot" she replied,
firmly.
"Then I'll force my way into the
house. I'm no fool, I'll give you to un-

pace.
But right here his strenuous relative
interposed by slamming the door In his
face. Matters had now reached pass
that Barton thought 1t the better part
of yalor to withdraw and await more
convenient season; and this he did.
leaving the victory to the stout matron.
For several days he endeavored to
discover his wife. At last, through the
servant whom he waylaid, he ascer-
tained that his wife was not, as he had
supposed. at her mothers but at a
nearby Cousins, and furthermore, she
expected to depart that very night for
Wyoming.
Now Barton had an indistinct recol-
lection of an uncle Of Mrs Barton's
whom he once met, and who lived on a
cattle ranch in the above mentioned
State.
1t was quite probable that she intend
ed to go to her uncle's home; so away
to Wyoming the incensed husband sped,
and In due time alighted at the little
station of wheatland.
The day was stormy one of those
days when one would rather hug a hot
stove than brave the wind and the sleet
Of the blizzard.
Barton. however, was impervious to
the weather conditions and, In spite of
contrary advice, he mounted cayuse
and set forth for ride across the plain
to the Hardcastle ranch.
It was after the noon hour when he
started, and the night of the December
day began 10 close about him before he
had covered half the distance.
Trusting more to the instinct Of the
cayuse than TO his own knowledge, he
plodded on until his pony stepped into
dog hole, and threw him violently to
the ground. He tried to remount, but
killing pain In his left foot and ankle
prevented.
With one hand on the pommel of the
saddle. and the other holding the bride
rein, he patiently waited for something
to happen. And presently something
did happen-a horse neighed, the sound
coming from the left of where he stood.
Barton shouted, again and again, and
directly team doomed from out the
darkness and the sleet, and a friendly
voice shouted:
swell, stranger, what's the trouble?'

and fret, waited until the following
morning, succeeding his return, and
then began a vigorous search for his
wife.
Naturally he went to the Bonaccord,
but no one there remembered having
seen Mrs. Barton. He scanned the reg
listers of the hotels, he advertised in the
papers, he visited the morgue, he noti-
fed the police; finally he telegraphed
his mothcr-in-law.
This last expedient was successful.
The mother-in-law replied to his In
quiry, but her answer was couched In
such language that Barton was nom
plussed and he ceased to wonder, If, in
deed, he had ever done SO, at the moth
er-In-law joke.
He could not understand. From this
point Of view he had done nothing call
ing for abuse, and why should his
wifes mother intrude where she was
not wanted?
He looked at the situation In this
wise He Is called from home, his wife
going to her mothers; he returns, no
tifying Mrs Barton Of the fact, and
then she disappears and his mother-in-
law takes matters into her hands.
The more he considered the more in
censed he became.

evasive answer to his third telegram.

Indignant to the extreme he boarded

FOUND IN ANCIENT RHODES.

Rock Carved i'm Relief of Greek Ship
Discovered by Danish Explorers.
The Royal Academy of Sciences and
Letters at Copenhagen is reaping rich
reward from the expedition 1t sent In
1902 to Llndos, small town on the
south coast of Rhodes, once great ISL
and home of Greek culture in the
Aegean sea, says the New York Sun.
Since the Danes began to dig deep into
its soil they have unearthed the larger
part Of Its beautiful Acropolis, fine
temple, and ancient stairway Of re-
markable workmanship and an enor-
nous amount of statuettes, vases and
other antiquities.
The Acropolis of Lindos was espe-
cially rich in the signatures Of artists
who had beautified it Before the
Danes began their work only twelve of
these signatures had been found, but
the Danish explorers have added sew
enty-four names Of men, several OF
whom made regulations that still sur
vive.
The most curious discovery Of all Is
described and pictured in the last re-
port Of the society. While the party
were excavating along the face of an
ancient wall built some 200 years be-
fore the Christian era. they came to the
| edge Of a carving In the rock.
They followed 1t eagerly for days be-
fore they knew certainly what 1t rep
resented Finally they brought the
whole carving into view and 1t proved
to be representation in relief Of the
stern of an ancient Grecian vessel.
A plaster cast made from 1t Is now
in the museum at Copenhagen and ex-
perts who have seen either the original
at Llndos or the cast at Copenhagen
say that 1t is faithful representation
of an ancient ship. The relief Is In
no respect embellished for decorative
effect, but Is reproduction, perhaps
on a slightly smaller scale, Of the stern
Of a Greek vessel of the Hellenic epoch.
Some of the coins OF that time show
reliefs Of vessels and a considerable
number of representations of ships have
been discovered The largest Ia now In
the Palazzo Spada and the resemblance
between 1t and the relief found at Lin.
dos Is very striking. The relief, how
ever. has far more detail. and It was q
splendidly executed piece of work.
On the side Of the ship an inscription
was cut into the stone showing that the
relief was not meant merely as an orna.
ment. 1t was hewn out of the rock to
form the base Of statue In bronze In
honor of Hagesandros. The statue has
not been found, but the remains Of an
iron fence erected In front Of the relief
were unearthed.

OLD "PINoCHLE."
odd Character Who Is Getting Rick
oH Naeda of Cornell Sfudenfn

odd Character Who Is Getting Rick
on Needs of Cornell Students.
With the close of the school year at
Cornell University, Aaron Wells, more
widely known at "Pinochle," reaps a
golden harvest. Stnudents who are
hard up go to him at this time and
borrow money, sometimes on notes and
frequently ION honor" only. but they
one and all have to pay old Pinochle
fat interest.
Wells began business there ten years
ago practically without dollar. Too
poor to pay rent, he stood on the street
offering to buy secondhand wearing
apparel of any kind. Now he has a
pretentious clothing store and 1t Is as
much of landmark as the Dutch
Kitchen or the Office of the registrar Of
the university. Five men are now en-
ployed by the Industrious clothier, who
makes a small fortune in this business
alone.
His agents still hang around on the
corners, but Phoebe only goes up the
hill when telephoned for. Every once
In a while swell fraternity men will
summon him up to the house and there
Is grand clearance sale. Suits that
have only been worn for one season,
dress clothes that are bit too small,
overcoats of the most fashionable
styles, all are thrown toward the little
clothing man with the query, what
am bid" Sometimes the clothes are
fairly worn out; more often the owner
Is pretty hard up, and in both cases
they are sold for a ridiculously low
price.
A suit that cost $40 will 60 to Pin
ochle for 81, and dress coats and over
coats bring from SIS to $40. Sometimes
he student will kick, but the best he
can get out Of the imperturbable dealer
Is: well, I'll match you. Five dol
lars or nothing" And even at this
game he usually wins He makes about
800 per cent on every article he buys,
but the students need the money, 30
they let 1t 60.
But 1t Is in the money-lending bust
ness that Wells has acquired the great
est celebrity. Almost any fraternity
man in Ithaca with whom he has done
business in clothes, or any well-to-do
student who can get an introduction to
him, can make touch" when he il
hard up, and thousands Of dollars are
loaned out every year. Money to go
home on, to bet on football, baseball
and track games and crew races, to
pay bills that are about to be sued on,
to play poker within fact, money for
everything can be obtained from Wells.
In small sums or large, 1t makes little
difference. Sometimes the men leave
town without paying up; there have
been cases Of loans as high as $500
standing out for years, but in the end
they are collected. Either the borrow
ers themselves pay or their parents pay
for them, as Pinochle keeps close watch
and knows the addresses of all his
clients. He is the best plnochle player
In Ithaca.

MUTUAL SERVICE.

The experience of Capt. Robert Ben.
ham, during troubles with the Indians
In Ohio In 177s, is one Of the strangest
In the history Of Indian warfare The
author Of "The Ohio River gives a
description Of 1t. Having broken
through the line Of Indians during a
battle, Benham made his escape, though
wounded by musket-ball In both legs
near the loins. He reached an I'm
mense fallen tree, crawled under It,
and lay still through the ensuing night
and the next day, In bitterest pain.
ION the evening of the second day
he shot raccoon on a tree near by,
hoping by some means to get and cook
1t. At the crack Of his musket the
sound of a human voice reached him.
In moments time he reloaded and
awaited the Indians approach, resolv-
ed to fight to the last extremity. The
voice sounded nearer.
Whoever you are were the be-
seeching words, answer me- And at
the words borderer, shot through
both arms, came into sight
THE comrades were unspeakably
pleased each to find the other, for be-
tween them they had pair of arms
and pair of legs, and therefore some
hope Of life and escape. AS best he
could, Benham dressed all the wounds,
and then proceeded to cook some food [;
all that could be done with arms and
hands Benham did, cooking, loading
and firing the gun.
"Hls comrade, having the rims of a
hat placed between his feet by Ben
ham, waded into the river and secured
sufficient water for their needs; he also
drove wild turkeys near enough to Ben
ham to allow him to bring some down,
and then he kept tossing them with
the toe Of his boot toward camp until
they were within Benham's reach. BY
the same means he kept his partner
supplied with wood.
when the wounds healed and the
men could travel, they camped at the
mouth Of Licking River In the hope
Of being picked up by a passing fat
boat Near the last Of November a
boat was hailed, and although It took
some time to prove that they were
not such savages as their appearance
Indicated, they were taken on board
and carried to Louisville"

from husbands who treat them like beggars.
