upon. To all outer appearances her father had long ago ceased to par ticipate actively in the strife of the business world and was supposed to be living a life of luxurious ease, re- gardless of the fluctuations of the stock market; so great was the girls surprise and consternation one night when Merton Desborough gravely in formed her that series of unlucky speculations had resulted in the loss of his large fortune, and that they would be obliged to retire from the world of society wherein she had so long reigned as an acknowledged belle and heiress Yet when the first shock of the announcement had passed away Gertrude's pride and courage came to the rescue and she threw her arms around her fathers neck and kissed him tenderly.
 Never mind me, papa" she said, bravely; "as long as we have each other it doesn't matter. We will be just as comfortable in quiet little home as in this big house with all it's
 
 work-the same as lots of other girls do-and help you"
 T don't think that will be neces- sary, Gertie; we'll probably have enough left to live on," said her ia ther, but a look of intense gratifica- ton shone in his eyes as he spoke. Gertrude was true to the estimate he had formed of her character it was evident that the unlocked for termina- ton of her butterfly existence did not daunt the girl, and Merton Desborough had never felt prouder of his daughter than at that moment.
 Gertrude did not abandon her reso- lution of joining the humble ranks of the wage earners. No sooner were they settled in the narrow confines of the little flat which her father se- l lected as their future residence than she started out in search of work and the following week saw her installed | at a switchboard in the employ Of the telephone company, fulfilling the l duties of an operator. Her father smiled when she triumphantly in l formed him of her success, but did not try to dissuade her. The battle l of life had commenced for Gertrude 1 1T grim earnest.
 It must be confessed that after the novelty Of the thing had worn of l there were times when she regretted 1 the leisure hours and luxuries whict 1 had once been hers. But she did no ! complain, and stuck to her task ke roicaIly, although at this juncture sh'

Municipal Homes for Workmen n.

The municipality of Genoa, Italy. is constructing two immense buildings, each to contain 72 apartments, termed popular houses" for the purpose of providing suitable living quarters for the workmen of the city. AS it Is an impossibility to expand the building area of Genoa, every available site be- ing already occupied, there has been a constant increase of rentals on all classes of property.
 The apartments in the new struc- lures are to be from two to five rooms each, and the purpose is to rent each room at Sl4 a year The present plans contemplate the construction of from 200 to 400 apartments, to con tain approximately from 5000 to 10.- 900 rooms

Attitude of Birds m Flight.

When the new s20 gold piece was issued in 1907, critic of the design on the coins asked: Who ever saw an eagle in flight with it's legs trail ing behind it?" This touches upon a question that has often been de- bated, but Dr. c. w. Townsend thinks that the designer was right and the critic wrong. All birds of prey. he says. habitually carry their legs be- hind in flight. except when about to strike their quarry. Water birds also fly with their legs extended behind, and pheasants, grouse and other gal linaceous birds do the same thing as soon as they are we'll under way. But the passeres or perching birds. such as English blackbirds. sparrows, robins, ravens, cocks. crows and swallows when in flight carry their legs drawn up in front.

.A CHANGE FOR THE HAGUE.

The Hague International Court Of ,a2rbitration is fooling away it's time vSith nothing to do, when great lot or disputes might satisfactorily occupy tits attention There is the trouble be- sfween Bolivia and Peru, for instance, which certainly admits of settlement tby arbitration. Bolivia has no sea coast and is anxious to reach the s.rcean. That country casts longing asyes on Peru's riparian boundary, and there are those who fear that she Vseeks pretext to go to war with that country and seize maritime province, sor else exact one as an indemnity. The attitude of Chile in this case Is watched with solicitude, for if the lat c1er country should lend assistance to Bolivia Peru would probably have to submit The only ground for dispute at present appears to be alleged dis satisfaction of Bolivia over the Argen- tine award, which was favorable to aPeru, but as this was the result of ar Shitration it is too small an affair to zgo to war about. Bolivia would lay herself open to severe condemnation If she began hostilities on trumped- asp cause, but considerations Of thls character have not always deterred Spanish h-American republics rom seeking their own ends.

Gertrude Desborough daughter of old Merton Desborough, the coal-oil millionaire was attractive in more ways than one. To begin with, she possessed an enviable share of good looks and a generous supply Of com mon sense. Naturally there were not lacking suitors who cast longing eyes on the heiress of the Desborough mil lions. and of these Lionel Wayne and Hugh Winslow were the most favored Gertrude showing perhaps a slight partiality for the former.
 Wayne was a ready talker, always entertaining and handsome in what some people considered rather ef- terminate way, while Winslow was re served, selfpossessed and built on sterner lines than his rival. Both moved in the best social circles, but neither was overburdened with money. The question that troubled Gertrude was whether it was her wealth or her self which formed the principal at traction for her admirers. She cared nothing for the fact that neither or the young men in question was rich in this worlds goods, but she cared great deal to kDow whether their af- lection Was sincere or assumed.
 In her heart she felt that Wayne had made a deeper impression on her than Winslow: he was more out spoken and dashing in manner than his reserved rival, whose attitude to- ward Gertrude was almost reveren- tial Still she hesitated, for one of Ter most intimate friends had dropped a hint in her hearing to the effect that Wayne was an unscruplous, calculat- ing fortune hunter. She did not be- lieve the assertion, but it troubled her nevertheless and left her in a doubt ing frame of mind. She had no moth CT to consult in the emergency, for Mrs Desborough had died when Ger trude was in her infancy and she shrank from asking her fathers ad vice in the matter.
 But an event was scheduled to oc- cur which Gertrude had never counted

He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which ren- der him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him.
 After carefully scanning the differ ent slots, above which is a space con taining the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot cor responding to it.
