to me she had grown ugly in my

coarse and provincial to me. Her

how she had given up other chances of
marriage that she might have had but

protested that she knew that the old
love would come back if we were to

Amazing Self by Ringing
Door Bells.

Finds Youth, Dressed In Woman's At
tire, -Amusina Self by Ringing
Door Bells.
Cornelius Hill Is the original XII
mona kid. Cornelius Is a colored
gentleman, whose tastes appear To
run decidedly to the feminine He
was feeling in festive mood early
Monday morning, when an ofhcer
spied him amusing himself on Hast
ings-st, by running UP and ringing
peoples door bells. Then he would
run and hide In a convenient alley.
The officer told Police Justice Stein
that II wouldn't have been quite SO
awful, II Cornelius hadn't been at
tired In a lopg-fiowing, loose-ftting
kimona, the folds OF which enveloped
his graceful form and successfully con-
cealed his flannel trousers. he also
carried a woman's night dress on his
arm.
An inventory of his personal ef-
fects, revealed that Cornelius also
wore a long sharp knife and an alarm
clock. The young man appeared In
police court, still CARRIED In the h-
mona.
For the love OF Nike said Court
Oficer McDermott, what's that?"
Just then, the alarm clock, which
had been reposing peacefully on the
property clerks desk. went on. Every
body started. For a full minute, no
body knew what was the matter.
Finally a detective discovered the
source of the disturbance and throt-
tied the clock, Winch went on pre-
cisely at $3.50, showing conclusively
that Cornelius is not an early riser.
Cornelius couldn't give a very sat
isfactory explanation OF the hmona
and the night dress. Neither could
he explain his door bell diversions TO
the satisfaction of the court.
Tnasmuch as the youths conduct
appeared to be perfect In court, the
Judge thought II would be a proper
proceeding to, examine into his men
tality. Cornelius will be held until
brain commission reports upon him.

SEEING THE OCTOPUS.
BY FRANK II. WILLIAMS.

Debonair and jaunty, Worthington
Wells, promoter and capitalist In any
thing promising immediate and large
returns, stepped into the darkened
shadows Of Henry Breeds building
Henry Breed was reputed to be the
wealthiest man on wallst. and one
of the most eccentric. He was to be
found In the most unconventional
places, doing the most unconventional
things. Wells intended to unfold a
plan to Breed that, with the outlay OF
some money on the financier's part
,, would bring immense returns to both
Of them.

Presently, he heard the wheezy noise
of the elevator descending. The door
swung back and Wells stepped into

And what is chestiness but the feel

A PIPE SMOKERS PHILOSOPHY

PARIS. Aug. sS.-(Special)-M.
dc VAUDEVILLE has been collecting
pipes for q long time, and his
studies of them have led him to
evolve o pipe philosophy.
He says he 10 prepared to prove
these statements:
The pipe IL Characteristic Of the
race, while the cigar and cigaret
are cosmopolitan
The length Of the pipe stem is
proportional to the activity OF the
race.
The more laborious the people,
the shorter the pipe.
The longer the pipe the more
slothful the people.
A short pipe stem indicates
economy.
A race OF gluttonous spend
thr1fts will smoke a pipe with q
large bowl.
But after all, he says, the main
point about pipes Is not to break
them.
