the corner of the landing appeared

steps at leap.

gasped, and stopped from sheer inabil-
ity to utter another word. He had
recognized one Of the houses most
beautiful and honored guests in the
flying shape, Miss Thorndyke of Lon
don, and she was CARRIED solely in a
spotless white robe de mutt!
Miss Thorndyke flew across the cold

She gave quick exclamation and
seized the clerks arm spasmodically
as scream f1oated out suddenly on

that it was impossible to judge from
what direction it came. The clerk, be-

The sudden opening of nearby
door, as a startled guest poked his
head out, reused the clerk from his
stupor, and wrenching his arm free
from the girls frantic grasp he sprane
along the hall and down the stairs to
the Office. Here, he saw, to the de-
molishment of what shreds of sanity
had remained to him, another woman
in night attire, stretched on the floor
and over her recumbent body stood
the burly form of a policeman with his
night-stick drawn.
Good God! Flanagan, what's the
matter?" he managed to gasp.
The officer motioned to him to shut
the street door against the curious
eyes of any chance passerby. Then he
held toward the clerk a black bag
made of fine broadcloth, with a draw
string around the neck.
do you know what is in this?" he
said in a low tone.

thickly, like drunken man. A misty
notion Of what perhaps had nearl,

his body. Snatching the bag from thu

spot by the commotion a physician

bending over the body a moment, said
to the clerk:
"She is in a hypnotic trance. Have
her taken to her rooms at once. Do
you know what doctor she has?"
"She does not believe in medicine,
and has no DOCTOR" responded the
clerk.
Then I will attend to her for the
moment, for she must be brought out

At this moment the husband Of the
unconscious lady, insufficiently clothed
and wild with excitement, came bound

The lady gave deep sigh.

Dyke, tenderly. He gently drew the
fingers away. 1t is I, dear. You are
safe now; don't feel afraid any long

The Paris Doll

tAARY BELL, Maude Marian's Paris
NN doll, had undergone many hard
ships since she had become the
property of her little mistress, and now
Maude Marian said she needed exer-
else and must learn how to row.
The boat was launched in the bath
tub. Mary Bell had to have one of
the oars tied fast to her wrist. The
other one was made to stick between
her thumb and first finger after Maud
Marian had Whitfield its end down to
a fine point Mary Bell did not seem
at all anxious to so rowing When
she was seated in the boat she Hoped
over on her face. Then. when Maud
Marian Strengthened her up she fell
over again. first on one side and then
on the other Her beautiful blue eyes
stared straight ahead of her while she
was being arranged. and she didn't
seem to take the least bit of interest
in anything.
At last she was made TO sit up
straight. Theresa, Maud Marian's s
cousin. gave the boat a little shove
and the voyage began. For few mo-
ments all went we'll. The boat moved
gently down the bathtub lake. The
beautiful oarswoman sat erect, her oars
held at the proper angles, her gaze
swerving neither to right nor left
She seemed almost to be enjoying it.
and Theresa began to think that, after
all. there was nothing to worry about.
But Maud Marian was not at all sat
isfied with the speed that Mary Bell
was making. Good gracious. Mary
Bell" she said. 'if you don't row faster
than that the exercise won't do you
any good at ALL Just then an idea
occurred to Maud Marian. Running
out of the room she soon returned with
a large paddle. which belonged to her
brothers canoe.
With this paddle Maud Marian began
The San Francisco call., 1909-02-27

to make enormous waves in one end
of the bathtub lake. The placid sur
face of the lake was terribly dis
turbed and Mary Bells boat began TO
rock terribly. Mary Bell still sat
erect, but one of her oars was up in
the air, while the pad screwed around
so that it did not touch the water
She'll go over if there are any more
waves" warned Theresa
1t is pretty hard to manage a boat In
a very high sea with only one good
hand and one oar Mary Bell found II
extremely difficult. She was complete
Iy down in a heap, and when the big
gest wave OF all struck the boat she
could do nothing. over went the boat
and out into the cold waters OF the
bathtub lake fell poor Mary Bell. The
boat foated bottom upward But poor
Mary Bell went straight to the bottom.
Wait until she comes up" cried
Maud Marian. ~and then We can rescue
her.
NO, Maud Marian" said Theresa
firmly. Mary Bells hair is all ruined
anyhow and I'm going to take her out
Theresa seldom ventured to disagree
with Maud Marian. but her sympathy
for the dolls sometimes overcame her
devotion to her cousin.
So Theresa reached into the water
and drew out poor Mary Bell. whose
beautiful locks were wet and Stringy
and all massed together in a way that
made Theresa shake her head sadly.
There were tears in Mary Bells eyes
also. and this was something that had
never happened before.
Look. she's crying" said Theresa
It's only the water from the tub
said Maud Marian stubbornly.
However this may be, il Is certain
that there were large drops of moisture
in Mary Bells eyes. which rolled gen
tly down her pink bisque cheeks on to
what was once her beautiful boating
costume. Theresa wiped away Mary
Bells tears. Perhaps" she said, con-
solingly. I'VE may be able to comb you
out after you are dried"

B4DEE 0nENEN BRIDGES Ct .
vs. TILE OEINE

- He bridges of Paris are among the
most interesting points of that
very interesting city The site of
the city was determined by the presence
of the river, and such being the fact,
the river and its bridges, with their re-
lation to the city, become a topic of
peculiar interest.
The Seine flows for seven miles
through the city of Paris. and this jour,
ney it completes in five hours. The
river grows narrower as it progresses
and from width of 532 feet, when it
enters the city, it decreases to 440,
when it leaves it. Its greatest width
is at Pont Neuf. where it reaches 961
feet It is crossed by 26 bridges. There
are great yiaducts, where the river
enters the city and where it leaves it.
These are used for the circular rail-
way, as we'll as for general traffic
Two bridges, the Pont des Arts and the
Passarelle de Passey, are for foot
passengers only; all the others per-
NIT carriages to cross.
The first picture represents the Pa
risian view of the seven bridges
across the Seine. These in their order

length and more pretentious architec-
ture. On the embankment Just below it

Fourth, sometimes called the peoples
