a woman.
By degrees Dickie began to realize
that he rather liked this American
girl. He was, of course, not in love
with her. No notion, despite the fact
that he himself suggested it, could be
more preposterous. 1t was, he tried

AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER.
The Daring Scheme That Was Worked
by'a German Doctor.

BY German Doctor.
Near a small village in one of the
lake states lived a western millionaire
in seclusion with his little daughter
and few servants. The child was af-
fiicted with rare cerebro spinal COM
plant, a most unpleasant manifesto
ton of which was a frequent hic-
cough, and eminent physicians. both
in America and Europe, had pronounc-
ed the case organic and incurable.
Later there came to live in the vii
lage widow with little girl affected
similar to the millionaire's daughter.
This child was a delicate. flower faced
creature, wistful from the isolation
that must have been her sad lot, and
the peculiar bark-like hiccough which
she made at once attracted the mill
lionaire's attention, and, being a big
hearted If rather ignorant man, he
gave the mother employment about his
home and showered the afflicted child
with presents.
Perhaps four months after the wild
ow's advent an eccentric German doc
tor settled in the village, and. his serv-
ices being sought by the widow, he
gave her child treatment. with the re-
suit that it was completely cured.
The Millionaire Immediately sought to
place his own daughter under the
Germans care, but the latter fatty re-
fused to take the case. He was a
Socialist of a violent type and would
have nothing to do with a man whose
wealth exceeded the sum that he had
fixed upon as the lawful limit of ma
terjaI possession.
Finally. however, after the father
had patiently borne the grossest in
suits the German agreed to give the
afflicted child treatment on condition
that the other would first deed over a
large tract of land in Texas for a So
cialist colony and pay him for his fee
a sum little short of $4,000. This the
millionaire did, but as soon as the doc
tor had cashed the check he disappear
ed with the widow and her child. and
the wealthy man realized that. blinded
by paternal love, he had been made the
victim of an ingenious swindle.
The flower faced girl of the widow
had been taught to simulate a disease.
and the German was no doubt her
father. He was subsequently located
in Buenos Aires. but he injured man,

zeppa was at once tried by court mar

Sentence of death was passed upon
him.
Mazeppa, however. was safely in the
camp of the Swedish king, but this
fact was not permitted to stand in the
way of the carrying out Of every part
of the sentence. A wooden effigy of
Mazeppa was made, and the punish

chieftain's substitute.
The efigy was first dressed in Ma

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend
and LiteratHre.

and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature of all ages. In Egypt
Ii represented Horus, the young or ris-
ing sun, In a boat surmounted by stars,
shown as a COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men of that early time 1t shone down
from the SAME position and with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
a striking example of the unchange
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always stormy
character. illusions to its direful infiu-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron in
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed just after the ris-
ing of Orion. The group has also been
employed as a calendar sign, its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning of
summer, its midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and Its early even
ing rising the arrival of winter, with
its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signified
the light Of heaven.

EAR OF DIONYSlUS.
One of the Famous Whispering Places
of the World.

Among the notable whispering places
of the world is the Ear of Diony-
sius' of ancient Syracuse. 1t is in
the shape of parabolic curve, ending
in an elliptical arch, with sides par
allel to its axis. perfectly smooth and
covered with slight stalactitic incrus-
tation that renders its repercussions
amazingly sonorous. 1t is ga feet high,
from l. to 35 in breadth and 1S7 deep
1t has an awful and gloomy appear
ance, which, with its singular shape
perhaps gave rise TO the popular and
amusing paradox that Dionysius had it
constructed for the confinement of
those whom he deemed inimical to his
authority and that from the little
apartment above he could hear all the
conversation among the captives who

sound of words uttered with a low

A like effect takes place in less de-

uttered at one extremity of long cor
