PARIS, Nov. Hearings are
now generally considered to have
gone completely out of fashion, and
the pearls and solitaires which
used to hang from ladies' ears are
being transferred to rings.
The brooch, too, has now quite
gone out of favor, but its place is
more than filed by charming pend
ants. These. also, are SO arranged
with movable clasp or pin that,
Il required, they may be used as a
brooch.
In the near future the pendant Is
likely to be the most popular form

show much beauty in taste and de-

DAILY SHORT STORY

he got it no man knows. And they
say that there has been turmoil in
that country since that day.
The engineer, whose name was
Frazer, came to his own country
and, settling down upon the coast,
became rather decent chap. In
due time, he met young girl, with
glorious coils Of Saxon-yellow hair
and blue eyes that danced. To the
girl, the engineer gave his heart;
also he presented her with the anne
thyst eye of the god.
"The stone has magic proper.
ties" he told her, half jestingly.
1T brings love between the CIV
er and the receiver, love that en-
dures until the gem goes back to
old ocean"
The girl laughed. What kind,
lovable old god," she said. Il will
wear his pretty blue eye in this
ring on my left hand"
But, as time passed, Elsie re-
membered the legend of the ame-
thyst and she troubled. She was
not superstitious; but she had read
of the strange tricks of these old
heather deities, and Frazer had
told her of Kam-kara's doings in
the country of the brown men. Fin
ally she almost doubted her love
for the engineer, fearing that in
some way she was Influenced by
the violet gem and the stories of
its weird power.
Then there came the day when
they two sat upon great rock by
the sea and Robert Frazer asked
Elsie to be his bride. When he had
told his story of love, the girl shook
| her head.
81 am afraid" she cried, "afraid
of this oriental god and his eye
that brings uncanny love. What II
our affection is only spell-the
charm of the Amethyst charm
that would not last!"
The engineer laughed at her
hooting at all gems and heather
deities, but she was resolute. And
thus he had to leave her. AS they
rose from the rock, there was a
little splash in the sea that neither
of them heard.
The next day, the engineer
brought down his atlas from its
high, dusty shelf. He was going
to the wild, strange places once
more. The girl sat at home, nurs
ing a very sore heart; also she
missed the ring with the amethyst
eye. Day after day her heart grew
heavier at the loss of her lover;
and day after day Robert Frazer
pored over the maps for Kabul and
Hoang-Ho-but still he did not 60
The amethyst ring had not been
| found.
Two weeks went by and fisher,
man came to the girl He had a
gold ring, with the setting gone.
Il heard you'd lost one. MISS" he
explained. 81 found this thrown UP
by the tide In the little cove"
1t was her ring, and the anne.
thyst eye of the great god Kan
kara was comeback to the rolling,
gray sea. The ocean had hidden
the gem for days and days, and
still her love held good.
Tht evening. the engineer, threw
away an atlas that had little circles
marked around Khartoum and Po-
pocatapetl. He had received a
note and he was hurrying to the
house of his desire. The note ran:
"The sea has the eye of KAN
kara-and ! still love you, Bob.
When are you coming?'

In the table q practically complete
returns which We present this week tho
figures are reliable ~ to general results,
most Of them being semi-oficial. We
omit the figures for the minor state
officers which follow the electoral re-.
turns so closely that it is not worth
while to give them in detail by precincts.
We also omit the returns for county
candidates who had no opposition. In
brief the results are, by majorities Taft
200; Burke $50; Lamoure 10; McCrea
(rep.) and Wexford (dem.) 100 each;
Ganssle (rep.) Is. All Republican coun.
ty officers re.elected-Anderson for Trea-
surer getting over 500, and Gill, the low
man, with about u majority. Mrs. Bur-
ley is SO far in the lead that we have not
totalled the figures and the officia;
figures will show some changes, bnt as
her lead must be over 700 she will have
a very large majority anyway. In the
senatorial fight,returns from q precincts
out of IS in the county, give johnson a
lead of IS. This majority may be in.
creased by the additional returns switch
however We will not get until the official
count. Miss Conmy received majorities
in eight precincts and in most of these
they we're small. Mrs. Burley had ma
jorities in q precincts and some were
very large. The full official returns are
likely to make about 700 majority for
the latter.
