COUNTESS IN A Howell.

Titled Woman, Who Married Gypsy
ViOIinist, Happy in LOvvIy Home.
The Countess Wilma Festitics, whose
recent runaway match with the gypsy
violinist, Rudolf Nyrai, startled the
aristocracy Of Bavaria and Austria
Hungary, is living in a howell with her
gypsy husband in that provincial town
of Oldenburg. The countess, who is a,
belongs to one of the weaIthiest and
most prominent of Hungarian families.
At the time Of her elopement she was
engaged to Count Spreti, an aristo-
cratic Hungarian. To a correspondent
she told of her marriage.

Munich at the beginning of last year,
when l first saw Rudi," she said, she
was giving a concert in a coffee house
to which my fiance, Count Spreti, took
us one evening. I was fascinated at
once, and after we had been at the cot
fee house several times we were in

houses in the city. 1 soon felt could

Count Spreti to release me from my

band had returned to Oldenburg [ was
miserable, but we corresponded, and,
as he asked me in his letters to come
and marry him if 1 loved him enough

Postal Tubes In Berlin.

The Berlin postal authorities are re-
volutionizing the conveyance Of letters
and parcels. The idea on which they
are experimenting is to have an under
ground tube with a large enough cir
conference to admit man in a stoop-
ing posture. These tubes are to con-
meet the central postoffice with the
principal stations and with the dis
trict offices. Two sets of rails are
built in this tube or tunnel, one over
the other, not side by side. The upper
set Of rails is supported on the sides Of
the tube thus practically dividing it in
two. Small carriages, running on two
wheels, are automatically driven by
electricity along these rails. No loco
motive is used, nor is there any attend
ant with the carriage As many as six
Of these carriages can be run together
for conveying letters and parcels from
the arrival station to the central post
office and thence to the various dis
tricts, or vice versa. By this means
letters can be delivered in any part
Of the city in less than a fourth of the
time formerly required. SO far the
scheme Is not beyond the experimental
stages, but it promises to be a success
and to Danish from the streets the mail
van, with all its poetry and romance.

whom she was buying magazine.
mo. I didn't, and l meant to, too,
because there was such a pretty poster
with a picture of The Girl Baby, but
we sold the magazines all out before
got chance"
eff we have it at home I'll bring it
70 you.. said Mrs. Ord, and the next
day she stopped in at the stationer's
with the magazine.
How kind you are!" said the sales
woman, gratefully. 81 found The Girl
Baby poster. Would you like to have
it?"
"Why, yes: thank you very much,
reDlied Mrs. Ord, who was as generous
in receiving as in giving.
Her errands that morning included a
visit to a free kindergarten. When she
left, the roomful of little people were
all looking at 1.-THE Girl Baby" poster,
which the teacher had pinned on the
wall when Mrs. Ord gave it to her.
The picture Of the quaint little maiden
with her cunning toy bear furnished
material for a language lesson of IN
usual length and absorbing interest.
The school janitOr, coming in to attend
to a leaking radiator, stopped and lis
tened to the viyacious conversation
which the teacher was carrying on with
the children.
"Why, I didn't know you could get
such lot Of talk out of a picture" he
said, with an expression of amused ad-
miration.
There's a good deal in this picture"
said the teacher, pleasantly.
when you're through with it, I'd
like to take it to my little boy. You
know he can't come to school"
The teacher took down the poster
and handed it to the janitOr with a
smile u think we have learned all
we can from it." she said. That even
ing small crippled boy sat on the jan
itors lap and listened with eagerness
while he related as best he could all

First Air Brake Trial.

The air brake was ushered into ac-
tual use in most dramatic fashion. The
trial trip occurred in April, 1869. The
train selected was the SteubenviIle ac-
eOmmOdation running between Pitts
burg and SteubenvilIe Ohio. When the
train was going at full speed, sudden,
ly, as he came around a sharp curve.
the engineer saw a stalled wagon i'm
the middle of the track dead ahead.
With handbrakes only, nothing could
have prevented a terrible smasbup.
The formal time for the trial Of the
airbrake had not come, but the brake
was there, and in desperation, not be-
lieYing for a moment that the thing
could possibly work, the engineer threw
or the air. But it did avail. The OBJ
servers in the rear were almost c2ta-
pulled out of their seats by the shock
of the sudden stop. But when they
saw the engine fairly poking its nose
into the wagonbed, Sc narrow had been
the margin between safety and disas-
ter, they forgot all about their shock,
and stood in awed silence. The air
brake had come into it's own.

when they owned their own car.
AS Hal reversed and went ahead the
girl clapped her hands with delight.
Talk about your enchanted horses"
she cried, 'there isn't one to compare
with this noble CARP
STEADY" Hal cautioned her. Don't
say anything fussy. You mustn't dis
tract the attention Of the man at the
wheel"
So she watched him in silence. He
was intently studying the car. Pres
emily he opened up the throttle little
and the auto sprang forward.
"How did you DO that?" cried the
girl.
So he showed her, and he showed
her other things, and she put them
away in her memory.
Hal, with a mans pride in his new
found knowledge, was glad to instruct
this inferior mind, and gained more
knowledge himself from the teaching.
They ran slowly, taking no chances,
and when they came to the long hill
the boy knew that he must throw off
the power and coast down under the
brake
Il wouldn't be afraid to run it my
SELF" said Serena presently.
That's easy to say" laughed Hal.
I'll bet you'd lose your head when the
first emergency showed up"
Serena tossed her curlS.
"Who lost his head when the barn
caught fire?' she asked
The boy flushed.
IAN auto is different from a fire"
IAN emergency is an emergency"
said the girl.
The boy laughed.
You're all right, sis. Nobody knows
what he can do until he tries When
you get the chance to run an auto take
IT,"
"Give me the chance now, Hal"
The boy shook his head.
'Not now" he said. There's a bad
.urve right ahead and we might meet
a load of hay or something"
But the curve was safely taken and
there was no bothersome vehicle be-
yond it. A few mments later they
rolled down Main street, and Hal
stopped in front of Sim AShbrook's
Office with most beautiful eXactitude
Sim was standing at the foot of the
stairs talking TO a client. He came for
ward staring wildly. Hall laughed as
he alighted.
Here's your car, Sim," he said.
The young lawyers surprise slightly
abated. He lifted his hat.

he had heard the teacher and the chill
dren say about 1.-The Girl Baby"
While alone the next day the little
''shut-in'' kept the picture by~his side
and talked to it in an imaginative way
he had learned during many hours Of
solitude. Late in the afternoon the
boy who lived in the fat above paused
at the window to say "HeIlo!" and
when he saw the poster he came in.
Say, where'd you get that picture?"
he inquired. There was one in the
corner store awhile ago, and [ asked
for it, but they wouldn't let me have it,

eyes, some of the slides are broken,
and it don't work as well as it did
when twas new, so I'd trade, though
it's worth lots more than the poster.
But you know I'm getting a collection
OF posters"
Father, just look - said the boy,
joyOusly, that night. "See what trad.
ed for the picture of The Girl Baby
Isn't it fine? 1 always wanted a magic
lantern. Will you run it for me to-
night?"
''Why, I'd enjoy it myself, and let's
have the little girl across the hall come
in to see it. She doesn't have much
fun. Youths Companion.

took Johnny Summers place at the
National Athletic Club tonight and met
Willie Moody, of Port Richmond. It
proved TO be a most excellent sUbsti-

Moody won, but it was only through
his sturdiness that he achieved a vic
tory. Lander's cleverness carried him
along splendidly for five rounds, but he
weakened in the sixth. while Moody
seemed TO have husbanded his strength
and made great finish.
There was never any danger Of either
man being knocked out as Moody's
judgment OF distance was execrable,
while Landers did not have the force to
his punches. 1t was a clever, skillful
boxer against a sturdy fighter and in
this instance the latter won out on
strength.
