There was undisguised contempt in
Dare's voice.

you are cynic, Mr.. Broughton."

Enid laughingly agreed and they
separated.
Dorothy was already holding sway
when Enid appeared, attired for din
ner.
Lady Lowe put up her eyeglass and
bowed graciously to the girl; the
daughter offered limp, good sized
hand. To her Enid was poor de-
pendent, and not worthy of much at
tention. But the three male guests,
who were gathered in a group on the
hearth rug, with the earl and Dare,
turned to stare at the slender, grace
full, picturesque figure, with that
glory of red-gold hair and those mar
velous eyes.
Dare saw their looks of admiration,
and he frowred even while he was de-
lighted.
"Miladi wsll not love her cousin If
she becomes admired in this fashion,"
he said to himself.
To Dare's anger he found that the
assembled guests were inclined to
treat Enid with as near an approach
to Indifference as they decently could.
Gervais, deep in genial hospitality,
lost this: but Enid did not, and she
half registered a VOW that she would
not come down among them again; in
fact, she woke to see that Dorothy
was growing vexed in her presence
and that it was time for her to go
back to her humble world again.
II will speak to her tomorrow" she
said to herself. II have my pride,
after all, and Dorothy cannot compel
me to remain. If she needed me it 4

1t was well for Enid that the veil
OF mystery that hung before the fu-
ture was not lifted too suddenly, for
she would have paled and shrunk be-
fore the tasks that would be given
her to do in Bromley Manor, and that,
too, before long.

LEAP FOR LIFE.

Leaping the gap in circus is sim
pie compared with the feat of DR..
William E. Durr, of Milwaukee, Wis,
when his automobile made a spectac-
ular jump across a ten-foot space be-
tween the rapidly rising wings of the
bascule bridge at the First avenue
viaduct
DR.. Durr was hurting on an emer-
gency call when he approached the
bridge. The viaduct at this point is
nearly fifty feet above the river.
He did not hear the warning cries
of the bridge tender until his ma
chine was upon the north lift.
Then he found the bridge was as
cending, with the south arm Of the
bridge slightly below that on which
he was ascending. He put on full
power and his machine leaped to the
south arm.

The proportion of public men who
favor woman suffrage cannot be
stated. At present it is probably
small, thinks the Washington Star.
Only few are outspoken, for or
against. Many take refuge in the
gallant evasion that women will get
the suffrage whenever they want it,
and then they ask to be shown" how
the record stands as to the women
themselves. Do any great number of
them really want to vote? Count all
such men in opposition. Still there
is point in that inquiry. II the suf-
fragists themselves at present lack
numbers, earnest and Industrious as
they may be, with the leading
churches against them, their task will
be most laboriously uphill.

ON THE RAGGED EDGE.

In journeying through the bad
Lands" of the West in 1876 in search
of fossils Mr.. Charles H. Sternberg
encountered many perils. In a vol
ume entitled THE Life of a Fossil
Hunter" he relates the story OF an
adventure where misstep nearly
cost him his life.
One day the professor asked me to
climb a point near the summit of
lofty ridge, crowned by two massive
Lodges of sandstone four feet thick,
which projected over the steep slope
like the windowsills of some Titanic
building.
These lodges, one above the other
and separated by fifty feet of shale,
had been swept clean for about three
feet, SO that found an easy pathway
for my feet when, after laborious
climbing, reached the lower ledge.
From my lofty perch had birds
eye view of mile upon mile of the
wonderful Bad Lands, a scene. Of des-
olation such as no pen can picture.
1t was my duty to search every
square inch of the dust-covered slope
between the lodges for fossil bones.
After much unsuccessful effort, /
came to a place at the head of a
gorge where perpendicular escarp-
ment dropped downward for thou-
sand feet The upper edge of sand
stone had broken loose for a space
of thirty feet and this huge mass Of
rock, four feet thick, carrying with
1t the loose dirt and polishing the
underlying surface as it Numbered
down the slope, had struck the lower
ledge with such force that it, too,
had broken loose and plunged down
ward into the abyss.

pYNAMITE supERsT1TIoNs.

A little knowledge is dangerous

read up on explosives and have no
superstitions about them seldom are
injured through any faulty handling
OF their own. If your dynamite
freezes, thaw it out. If you drop an
armful of it on the ground all you
have to do is to pick it up.

The Singer and the SONG.

In one of his Breakfast Table,

that birds show all the airs, graces
and mannerisms of human singers.
However, the feathered bipeds can

HEIREss 10 WED HERO.


With the announcement that Miss
Mary M Grain, an heiress of Fond du
Lac, Wis, has married Henry F.
Sheridan, city building inspector, is
made public pretty little romance
beginning when Mr.. Sheridan saved
Miss Grain from a cattle stampede at
the Stock Yards two years ago.
Miss Grain is the daughter of Mark
Grain, banker, of Eldorado, Wis,
and after his death few years ago
she went to live with a wealthy
uncle. Thomas Kelly, at Fond du Lac.
With her uncle and other relatives
she came to Chicago in August, 1907,
for visit. AS the party was making
the rounds of the yards Miss Grain
became separated from the others
for few moments. She was stand
ing in the middle of street when a
herd Of cattle which had broken out
of a pen came dashing madly down
the narrow thoroughfare.
Apparently paralyzed by fear, Miss
Grain was unable to move and her
death seemed certain. AS the mad
dened animals were almost upon her
Sheridan, who was at the yards on
business, rushed into the street,
grasped Miss Grain about the waist
and carried her to safety.

millionaire distiller, and Mrs. Fleisch-
mann have returned to Cincinnati,
Ohio, from hunting trip to Behring
Sea coast.
1--WE hunted on the Admiralty
Islands and the Barros Islands," said
Col. Fleischmann to-day The game

thing but bears, but we got six of
these, Mrs. Fleischmann killing two,
one grizzly. We had to hunt early
in the morning and late at night, and
there was no light for Photographic
work.
owing to exceptionally deep
SHOWS, the season was very late. 1t
was eleven days before we caught
sight of bear, but when we found
their tracks it was not long before
we had all we wanted The hunt was
very prosaic. Most stories of thrill
ing experiences which read then the
bear charged are fakes. The
chances are eight to ten the bear will
run when seen or even when wound

even then the chances are that she
will get away with her little ones

that he favored rack track element
