Prince Rupert's Drops.

Prince Rupert's drops are drops OF
molten glass, consolidated by falling
to water. Their form is that of tad
pole. The thick end may be ham,
mered pretty smartly without its break
ing, but if the smallest portion of the
thin END is nipped off the whole flies
into fine dust with explosive violence.
These toys, if not invented by Prince
Rupert, were introduced by him into
England.

and inconsiderately died before he had
a chance to retrieve it. The mother
did not survive long, and Leila, then
a baby Of five, was left destitute. A
poor relative, her fathers aunt, adopt
ed the orphan, and devoted herself to
the child.
When Leila returned from Europe
she brought back with her a gold cross
that she always wore, a tender letter
or so, and the memory of few bliss
full hours when her hand had rested in
his. There was even a rapture, albeit
broken-hearted. that the finely bred
New Yorker had cared for her in q
negligent, summer fashion, and in un-
guarded moments had said impetuous
things.
She had been thankful since her
stay in New York that she had never
chanced upon her former lover. She
was moderately happy in her work,
her sense of fulfilled duty, and her fa-
cile talent for absorbing what was
healthy in character and comforting in
nature and circumstance She finished
each day with the same thanksgiving
for the happiness of the past, and the
same prayer for the man, alive or
dead
One day, one dark afternoon. when
she was at the Lenox library taking
notes for her class, she saw him. He
was slightly older looking, the chin
surer, the bearing more distinguished
than formerly, but the sensitive lips
were unchanged. He had the unmis-
taxable poise of man secure alike of
his grandfather and his investments,
two unrivaled means of confidence.
She had not heard of the man since
his marriage, when she sent his fiancee
brooch, a crown of pearls, as a we'd
ding gift. Heaven knows what months
she had worked ON articles for the
Mt. Hope Courier to pay the jeweler;
then the faded neckties she had worn
and the hats retrimmed three seasons
with the same dismal perpetual vio-
lets! She had written a short note
accompanying her present:
will Miss Van Dyck accept SOU
venir, very small souvenir, from me? :?

Markham and wish to offer some gift
to show how pleasantly ! recall his
courtesies, etc., "a thoroughly polite

mality, as if pearl crowns were an
everyday occurrence; as il she were
not writing with her hearts blood.
The man was rather surprised, and
sent it to Helen Van Dyck, his fiancee.
She wore 1t several times and later
on gave 1t to her French maid-Hen-
rietta did her hair so cleverly, and
she had fable" for pearls.
Markham strolled into the library as
Leila was leaving. She attempted to
walk away unobserved, but his eyes
fastened on her Questioningly, then
cleared with recognition.

ton that may be paid to a young man
of these days.
He threw himself into the fight with
all the ardor Of which his nature was
capable; whereas Willard was con-
tent to let the machine direct his
movements. The truth Is, Willard
was Indifferent whether he became
mayor or not. To him the conflict
was a diversion, a new fish to Lu-
cullus; and when the Democratic or
gans wrote scathing editorials about
what they termed his profligate ca
reer, he would laugh and exhibit the
articles at the club. 1t was all huge
joke. He made very few speeches,
and at no time could he be forced into
the foreign districts. He complained
that his olfactory nerve was too deli
cately educated. The leaders swal-
lowed their rancer; there was nothing
else for them to do. In Williards
very lack of ambition lay his strength.
Poverty would have made a great man
out of him; but riches have peculiar
way of numbing the appreciation Of
the greater and simpler things in life.
Newcomb went everywhere; the
Poles hurrahed for him, the Germans,
the Irish, the Huns and the Italians.
And he made no promises which he
did not honestly intend to fulfil. To
him the fight meant everything; it
meant fame and honor, a comfortable
addition to his income, and Washing

Democrats while he annihilated the
pretensions of the Republicans. He
was what historians call an active
dreamer, man who dreams and then
goes forth to accomplish things. Hia
personality was engaging.
Besides all this (for the secret must
be toldD Newcomb was in love and
wished to have all these things to lay
at the feet of his beloved, even if she
returned them. You will regularly
find it to be true that the single man
is far more ambitious than his mar
ried brother. The latter invariably
turns over the contract to his wife.
Willard was deeply in love, too,
with Senator Gordon's lovely daugh-
ter, and Senator Gordon was that mys-
terious power which directed the Re-
publican forces in his section of the
state. So you may readily believe
that Newcomb was forced to put up
better fight than Willard. who stood
high in Senator Gordon's favor. The
girl and the two young men had been
friends since childhood, and nobody
knew whether she cared for either of
them in the way they desired. Every
body in town, who was anybody, un-
derstood the situation; and everybody
felt confident that Willard was most
likely to win. The girl never said any
thing, even to her intimate friends;
but when the subject was brought up,
she smiled in way that dismissed it.
Such was the political situation at
the beginning of the municipal cam
paign. There have been like situa-
tions in any number of cities which
boast of one hundred thousand in

Leila Matthews had no present
worth mentioning and very little past.
She took an intelligent, conscientious
view of life and had a rescuing sense
of humor. When she left Mt. Hope,
Arkansas, to take the place of Latin
teacher in one of the questionable
New York schools everybody had
thought her a lucky girl. She bore
the fatal reputation of being clever
and artistic-that is to say, she had
the ability to appreciate things that
in the natural course of events she
would never have the opportunity to
enjoy. Wherever she went she Gre
ated that sympathetic atmosphere en-
couraging to the peoples vanity, which
aided her even in crudely sociable Mt
Hope
She had always lived with her aunt
and cousins, and she sent the nasal
voiced old lady, whom she tenderly
loved, monthly remittance from her
earnings.
Ever since she could remember, with
the exception of a single year. she had
led the deadening life of Mt. Hope.
When she was flower of girl, 1S or
thereabouts, she spent a year in New
York and abroad as companion to an
old aristocrat, who realized the girls
Unborn gentility, and loved her.
Her mother had been Boston wom-
an, her father rich mine owner who

had occasion to entertain my wife's
brother in our apartment last week.
He's jolly big Englishman, who's
travelled a lot, and, like most Of his
countrymen, is devoted to his matuti-
nal tub. Almost before he was inside
the door my wife began to apologize
for the size Of our bathroom, when, to
our establishment, her brother burst
into an uproarious laugh.
My dear girl, don't apologize, you
know he explained to her. I fancy
you don't know what difficulty I had
in taking my tub in South Africa this
summer. 1t was beastly inconvenient.
You see, my Kaffir boy knew all about
1t, and got me barrel which had
been cut in half and a hole bored in
one end. 1 knew / couldn't possibly

were light and the quality only med
ium, but prices went 10 to 15c lower
although there was a good demand
for yearlings, and anything on the
good order weighing 500 to 900 went
readily at good strong prices.
There were about % cars of sheep

Chicago, Oct. ga good many
wheat traders are: bullish, on the
wheat situation and in the southwest.
The big premium is cured for cash
wheat here are the basis for the be-
lief that futures are too low as COM
pared with the cash stuff and that
there is to be no money made in SELL
ing wheat short at discount under
the cash.
It was the gossip among wheat
traders last night that the shorts had
been run in and that many Of the
traders were long.
Those who have been forced to
cover on the bulge said that they
did not expect to see cables reflect
the effect Of the Russian cholera
scare today and II they did that pric-

There was much bull gossip last
