Mrs. BIsted will use the new bal
loon Berkshire, which recently arrived
in Pittsfeld. This balloon will carry

Of her friends to make the flight with
her early in July. This will be the
first society ballooning event in Amer
lea, as the guests of Mrs. Bristed will
be women of the foremost social scale.
Only short flight is planned, and
the aeronauts will take automobiles
back to Lenox in time for dinner Mrs
Bishop, who has made several ascen-
sions with Count de la Vaulx in Paris,
will be one of Mrs Bristed's guests in
the initial flight
If the balloon sport becomes popular.

the fact that there would be no other
woman there was his reason for going
at all. Probably Mrs. DrakiD would

promise him an introduction to some

For years Hubbard had lived in fear
of marriage. He was not exactly a
woman hater, but an excess of timidity
left him stammering and afraid in fem
mime presence, and he had come to
have mortal dread Of matrimony-so
great a dread that more than once he
had fed from some enthusiastic match
maker lest he be led, protesting, but
helpless, to the altar
But he was just back from the South
American trip and hungry for the COM
partnership of his fellows. In that
frame Of mind he had run across Ora
kin, who had once been the geologist
of an expedition Of which he himself
had been botanist.
They had had lunch together, and
Drakin had urged him to spend the
night with him that their talk might
be continued.
Drakin lived in a small suburban
town. and Hubbard regarded approx
ingly the neat little cottage they ap-
preached, even though a woman in
something feecy and white stood on
the porch to welcome them. Drakin
had gone into the telephone booth at
the station to announce their coming
and had emerged from the booth very
red and confused.
Hubbard hoped that his coming had
not been the cause Of the confusion

things in the kitchen went wrong and
when visitors were not welcome. He

FATE OF A RARE STAMP.

Craved by Collectors and Burned by d
Careless Domestic.
In the year 1851 twelve penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa The
public did not regard this somber issue
with favor, SO few were issued
One of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postoffice, where it was sold
TO an old gentleman, who said it was
shame to print the queens picture
on a stamp that might be handled by
profane hands. Tenderly the old gen.
t1eman put it on parcel, sending it to

In the wastebasket. it lay for many a
day till an errand boy found it and
quickly transferred it to his album
Despairing Of getting a good collection
and his fever for stamps somewhat
abating, he sold them to dealer. The
new owner, on looking at the cata-
logue, found that what he had paid SIS
for was worth S25.
Accidentally the stamp was slipped
into % cent packet and sent to a
dealer residing in Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was
astonished to find such a valuable
stamp and. being honest, wrote his
friend to inform him of what had hap
pened, offering him $1,000 for it. The
offer was accepted, and the stamp
again changed hands. By this time the
stamp had increased in value, and not
few came from a distance to look at
the treasure. One day an English no
bleman, who, through a Canadian
friend, had heard Of the stamp, offered
$1,000. which offer was accepted. The
English lord, falling in love with an
American heiress and wishing to gain
the favor of her brother, presented
him with the stamp as token Of
esteem Here, in it's new and luxuri-
Gus American home, it came to sad
end, for one day the maid, by mistake,
swept the stamp, which had accidental
iy fallen out of the album, into the
fire. In an instant the stamp which
thousands had heard of and longed
for went up in smoke to the broad
blue sky. leaving not a trace behind
