Van Torp tried to make some run
ming, and asked an important ques-
ton.
May I ask whether, as Miss
Donne's oldest friend, you would look
favorably on my proposal, supposing
she were free"
Before Mrs. Rushmore could an
swer, the door opened suddenly, and
she could only answer by an energetic
nod and look which meant that she
wished Mr.. Van Torp success with all
her excellent heart.
TITS quite settled" Margaret cried
as she entered. 1--WE brought the d.

The effect on Mrs. Rushmore was
extraordinary, positively Illuminating,
Margaret said more lightly. "She
says I ought to break OF my engage

That's very kind OF her, I'm sure"
observed Mr.. Van Torp.

him. and I wouldn't say anything for
him. SO there was nothing to do but
to explain. which l did. I'm sorry
you think I did wrong, but should
give the same answer again"
Mrs. Rushmore thinks that Konstan-
tin is designing foreigner because
he's a Greek man of business, and
that you are perfection because you
are an American business man."
IF I'm perfection, that's not the
real reason" said Van Torp, snatch
ing at his first chance to steer out of
the serious current; but Margaret did
not laugh.
You are not perfection, nor l eth
er." she answered gravely. you are
famous in your way, and people call
me celebrated in mine; but so far as
the rest is concerned we are just two
ordinary human beings, and If we are
going to be friends we must under

as we can"
I'll try to do my SHARE" sAid Van
Torp, taking her tone.
Very we'll. I'll do Iaine. I began
by thinking you were amusing, when
I first met you. Then you frightened
me last winter. and I hated you. Not
only that, loathed you-there's no
word strong enough for what I felt.
When saw you in the audience, you
almost paralyzed my voice"
II didn't know it had been as bad

Blind. But Picks Berries,

One of the most expert strawberry
plckers in this country is blind man.
Robert jolly OF Orcas. Wash, TO:
years has made his annual expenses
picking strawberries and other fruit
for his neighbors, and so skilled is
he, and So rapid. that he earns as
man with good eyes. Jolly finds his
way along the rows of vines with his
stick, and carries a dozen crates with
him. His nimble fingers find the
fruit, and while one hand is plucking
the berry the other is searching for
more. Picking cherries or apples and
climbing around on ladder is as
easy for him as for a schoolboy.

Regulating Morals by the Clock.


Isn't it perfectly marvellous how a
certain act may be legal until the
clock strikes and a crime thereafter?
There is piano-playing, for instance.
In the city of Washington anybody
who pleases may bang on piano until
midnight without Interference, but as
soon as the clock strikes IL piano
playing becomes a crime, and the play
er is liable to be marched off to Jail
and locked up: To our mind, nine-
tenths of all piano banging is Grim
inality, no matter at what time IT
takes place; yet We fail to understand
why banging at SO p. m. is less rep
rehensible than similar banging at

Great Pearl Harbor Drydock.

The final dimensions of the great
drydock which the United States navy
is building at Pearl harbor, in the Ha-
waiian islands. shows that the gov
ernment is wisely building for the flu
ture. The dock will be LISP feet long
from the coping to the outer sill. 14O
feet wide at the top, and will have
35 feet of water over the entrance
sill at mean high-water level. There
will be sill at the middle of the
dock, for an intermediate caisson
which will divide it into two docks,
575 feet and 532 feet long.

lashes quivered little. His hands
were thrust deep into the pockets of
his jacket, but the fingers were mo-
tionless.
Margaret remembered how he had
told her more than once that she was
the only woman the world held for
him, and she had thought it was non.
sense, rather vulgarly and clumsily
expressed by man who was not
much better than an animal where
women were concerned.
It flashed upon her at last that what
he had said was literally true, that
she had misjudged an extraordinary
man altogether, as many people did,
and that she was indeed the only
woman in the whole world who could
master and dominate one whom many
feared and hated, and whom she had
herself once detested beyond words.
While these thoughts were disturb
ing her little, Mr. Van Torp recov-
cred himself; his features relaxed, his
hands came out of his pockets, and
he slowly turned towards her.
II hope you don't think me rude"
he said awkwardly. II feel things a
good deal sometimes, though people
mightn't believe it."
They were still standing near to-
gether, and not far from the door
through which Margaret had entered.
Its never rude to be grateful, even
for small things" she answered
gently.
Her handsome head was a little
bent, and her eyes were turned to the
floor as she passed him going to the
door.
I'm going to see the manager of
the hotel" she said. I'll be back d.
rectly."
mo, no! Please let me-"
But she was gone, the door was
shut again, and Mr.. Van Torp was left
to his own very happy reflections for
a while.
Not for long, however. He was still
standing before the table staring at

Clark, officers of the Star Publishing
company, which publishes the New
York American, was begun today in

testified that the article published in
the December II issue of the Ameri-

ing caused q system of peonage to be
adopted by a certain breakfast food
company of Chicago, was false in ev-
cry particular. He had not set foot

years.
Clarence J. Shearn, attorney for the
defendants. submitted a retraction
printed on the day following the publ-
cation of the original story. as evidence
that the libel had not been committed
with malicious intent. Mr.. Shearn
then cross examined the witness and
obtained from him an admission that
While he sWOre in his original COM

reality based simply upon information

this constituted perjury on the part Of
Mr.. Rockefeller, and promptly applied
for a warrant for his arrest on that
charge.

charge being taken seriously. but Mr..

All Over the State.

Danbury. Jan. 4.-James Reynolds,
a wealthy farmer of Ridgebury, and
one Of the best known cattle raisers
OF the state, was gored to death sat
urday by the same big black Holstein
bull with which two years ago he
took first prize III the annual Danbury
fair.
Reynolds body, mangled beyond
recognition, was found in a snow-cov-
cred field which is used especially for
the bulls run. The tracks and blood
on the snow showed how the aged
farmer earlier in the day had started
unconscious of danger. to cross the
field: how he had begun to run on
hearing the bull charging toward him
and how his body had been tossed
and trampled all over the field long
after life was extinct.
Reynolds son, Theodore, who has
been in the habit Of caring for the
bull and from whom it had less ami
mostly, had to entice the animal to
another part of the field while other
members Of the searching party res
cued the body. The elder Reynolds,
who was 62 years old had left home
in the morning with an axe TO chop

NEW YoRRs 80 CENT GAS LAW.
Decision of United States Supreme
Court UphoIds the Law.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Speaking today
FOR the entire membership Of the su-
preme court Of the United States, Jus
the decision of the court in the case
OF the public service commission Of
New York, the city Of New York and
the attorney general Of New York VS..
the Consolidated Gas company of New
York city, which involved the validity
Of the so cent gas law of that city. In
effect the decision upholds the law. but
Il closed with the intimation that it,
after practical test. the rate fixed
should prove unremunerative, the gas
company should have the privilege of
reviving the case. The United States
circuit court for the southern district
Of New York. by which the case was
tried and which granted an injunction
against the enforcement Of the law,
was reversed but was instructed TO
dismiss the case WITHOUT prejudice.
The court merely announced its con-
Ciu Ions. and it was stated by Justice
Pcckham that the full opinion would
be placed on file at some time in the
future owing to the fact that there
has been much speculation as to the
character of the courts decision, JUS
tieo Peckham took the precaution of
not having the result of the courts de-
liboratiOns committed to print. The
announcement was therefore made in
tyUeWritteu copies and there were
comparatively few Of these.
The court failed to pass specifically
upon the question of the constitution
alitr of the law as an entirely. but did
pronounce invalid some of its features.
