weaves upon a rug. She is beautiful
as the night, and as she weaves a
inky braids of her hair while their
eyes speak the tale Of love that is old
as this old world, yet ever new.
DAY by day the maiden weaves,

lover sees not the change. At last the

weaver falls into his outstretched
arms.

THE youth wanders, the rug always
with him, for it is his bride. He comes
to this city. He is in want; he is
starving. When near to death he
pawns the rug that he may live. Then
the change comes. He finds work, he
makes money. He tries to redeem the
rug, but the man to whom he pawned
it is a villain. He has learned the
value Of the rug and will not give 1t
up but for a great price. The youth

Concentrating his mind, Carlton
Clarke gazed steadily into her eyes
for few moments. Her muscles be-
came tense, her face pallid and her
eyes CLASSY, and then they closed In

into a conservatory Three persons
are there. One is an old man, one a
young man and one a woman, young,
slender and black of hair. They seem
to be disputing and the old man is
greatly excited. At last he points to
the door and his daughter-yes it is
his daughter-goes out in tears, with
one last supplicating look at the men.
There they part. not all in anger, as
the father seems to weaken at the
sight of his daughters tears. The
young man goes out through the Ii
brary and the aged man lights a cigar
and walks the drawing room with
bowed head, his hands behind his

The Mud Sinners.

Mrs. Clarence Mackay, at a dinner
in New York, discussed the recent

the fish shorewards towards the

ran into the sea up to his knees, made

The final act of the drama was
brief. We communicated with the In
spector and he met us on the way to
the Washington street number In
Clarke's possession. This proved to
be rickety tenement. Under the
guidance of the inspector, we entered

door brought no response and we

The Chicago outrages are not con-

incendiary fires, wrecking by impro-

phone cables and numerous other
acts of vandalism. They began with
the blowing up of the residence OF
John Hill, Jr., at the time he was
fighting racetrack gambling around
Chicago, and resulted In putting out of
business all the racetracks, many of
the grandstands having been burned
