TWO LADS OF OLD KENTUCKY
By Virginia Yeaman Remnitz

Since there had been, of late, some Indian depre-
dations toward the south, Ben determined to go in
that direction; and taking Spot across the stream,
he started off rapidly careful search for the lost
permitted. The dog along the bank with
his nose to the ground, and the boys quick eyes
keenly searched the damp earth.
1t at the end of about mile that Spot found
the scent again. but Ben could see tracks the
bank; He Judged that the eaptor, or .captors, of
Toddles had taken a flying leap out of the water
and landed on the leaf-covered mold of the forest
Now that he was the trail again, Ben became
possessed of a feverish haste At any moment the
Indian might weary of his burden; and then! But
Ben would not allow his thoughts to take that
course He began to run ahead swiftly, urging Spot
possible, avoiding, as though by instinct, any
cracking branches and rustling leaves.
But Toddles not travelling silently at all; and
this upon the whole was fortunate. Ben heard an
outcry faint in the distance but having the quality
of rage rather than of pain He realized with joy

Ben crawled slowly from behind his rock. He
did not know he was crawling but he felt he made
use; it was like nightmare in which he can move
just fast and no faster
him; he scarcely saw anything-not even Toddles,
who sat up wide-eyed and stopped crying at this

That is how, Just dusk falling, the search

doefully So Mr.. Hamiltons heart stood still as

Then said the Discontinued Boy:
Instead of either bird or cat,

But even as he spoke, man

Thrust the unhappy hound.
"Where will you take him?" said the boy.
The man said: ITO the pound:

1t was a Disconnected Boy
Who lay upon the lawn,
And grieved because vacation days,
With all their pleasant sports and plays
Too soon, alas! were gone.
Some sparrows near him hoped around
And, as he watched, the boy became
Filled with an envy most profound
Because the birds were free from rules,
And never even heard of schools;
And, sitting by, l overheard
This boy wish he was Gust bird"
Scarce had the words been said-alas!-
When, swift as lightning, from the grass
Puss bounded, and one cruel blow
Laid one poor chirping sparrow low.
Then said the Discontinued Boy:
Il really never thought of that
All, we'll I wish I was cat"
Just then dog of monstrous size

Sixty-twO Stories High, 1t Will

TWICE THE HEIGHT OF
WASHINGTON MONUMENT
Equitable Life Files Plans for
Structure That Will Dim
Modern Achievements.
Especial to the Evening start

NEW YORK, June 30.-P1ans for the
highest structure in the world were
filed today by the Equitable Life AS
surance Society. The sky-scraper will
be on the present site of the Equitable
building, bounded by Broadway and
Nassau street and Pine and Cedar
streets. and will be 1,059 feet from the
curb to the top of the lagpole, or sew
enty-four feet higher than the Eiffel
Tower in Paris, and 200 feet higher
than the record-breaking Metropolitan
Life building.
The projected building will be sixty
two stories high, and will De 900 feet
from the curb to the top of the tower
upon which will be stepped a fagpole
$50 feet in length. With its 900 feet
the new building will tower nearly 300
feet over the 612 feet 1 inch of height
of the Singer building, and the Metro
politan's 637 feet 5 inches will seem
also be comparatively stunted.
The Washington monument, 555 feet
5A inches in height, win measure
scarcely more than half the height of
this new skyscraper, and the famous
Pyramid of Cheops. now only 451 feet
high, will be actually less h half
as high.
The main building will be t~hirty-four
stories. or 4S9 feet high, with a front
e of 1911 feet on Broadway, 1928 feet
on Nassau street, ane 304.2 feet and
312.3 feet respectively on Pine and Ce-
dar streets. Above the main building
will be a square tower of twenty-ight
stories, capped with a eupalo. the tower
and cupalo being 400 feet high.
The facades will be brick and granite,
with trimmings of terra Gotta. The de-
sign will be the Renaissance type, pre-
senting bays set between pilasters of
Corinthian and Doric pattern, the cor
ners being offset with clustered col
umns The bays will be deliberately
decorated with carved work. The roof
of the main building will be finished
with cupaIos several stories high set
around the base of the tower. The
tower structure will be in two sections,
one section extending from the thirty
fourth to the forty-ninth story. The
main cupalo will extend above this.
The building will be equipped with
thirty-eight passenger elevators. built
two In a row in a great corridor fin
ished In ornamental bronze.

ESSEX WILL GET
HUDSON COUNTY'S
FEDERAL CONVCTS

When it became known. through an
investigation, by order of United
States Attorney-G General Bonaparte,
that Federal prisoners in Hudson
County Jail were not properly fed, and
that conditions were unsanitary, an
order was issued yesterday by District
Attorney John B. Vreeland, at the re-
quest of the Encouragement, that in
the future all such prisoners be sent to
the Jail of Essex County.
The change will mean a slight addi-
tional expense to the government, for
the defendants must be brought to
this city at the rate OF ten cents a
mile for transportation. The govern
ment will pay Essex County $3.50 a
week for the board of each prisoner.
None of the prisoners has been re-
ceived as yet at the local institution.

EVE A COMMON-LAW
WIFE, MISSOURI RULING.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, June sO.-The
Kansas City Court of Appeals has de-
cided that the first marriage in the
worlds history was a c~ommon-law con-
tract-a mutual agreement between the
principals. The court holds that present
day c~ommon-law marriages are like
wise binding.
The suit In question was for $500,
brought by Ella Phillips Davis against
r. w. Stouffer. administrator of her
husbands estate. She asserted that she
was his common-law wife.
The court, finding for her, said: The
marriage of Adam n 1--we was not
only without witnesses, but so far as
the records show, they married them
selves. He repeated the contract and
she acquiesced by silence"
