Kelly Versus Kelly

BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS

Kelly entered his office briskly,
hung up his coat and prepared to
glance through the mail Because
Kelly was big and good to look at
and in many other ways an attractive
lure for feminine hearts, there were
a number of small, scented missives
lurking among legal-looking docu-
ments and business letters.
These he put aside until the con-
tents of the more important commu-
nlcations had been digested.
Kelly drew cigar from his pocket.
Inc day promised to be more OF less
dull A young lawyer can only wait
Tor clients. Kelly lit his cigar and
when it was drawing we'll he elevated
his feet to the desk and picked up the
smaller envelopes.
AS he glanced over his own name
written in various feminine hands he
smiled tenderly. cynically, reminis-
Gently and finally questioningly. The
writing on one neat, unscented en-
velope was not familiar to Kelly's
eyes.
He opened it first, and read the
contents:
Dear Mr.. Kelly-Your fiancee, Hell
Ell Ware, has made me promise to
look you up as soon as | reached New
York. | arrived only yesterday from
Omaha and have taken the first op-
portunity | had for communicating
with you. Since | am to be Helen S
bridesmaid 1t might make the we'd

for three weeks and hope you will
md time to call me up in the near
future, so that | may write Helen that
| have had the pleasure OF meeting
her future husband. Phone, OO9 River
Sincerely yours.
VIRGINIA TRACY"
A cynical smile was master over
surprise in Kelly's face.
Another bunco game!" he NUT
tered. Letter sounds jolly though
guess 1 will see the game through"
Without a doubt in his mind as to
the class of girl who had written him
the letter, Kelly called the number
009 River.
When he hung up the receiver he
had made an engagement to call for
Virginia Tracy at six O'clock that
same evening He turned to his other
neglected feminine correspondents
but try as he might to forget the in-

The marriage recently In Paris Of
the famous prima donna, Mime. Emma
Eames, to Emilio de Gogorza, the
equally well known baritone, termi-
mates a rather sensational of
several years standing.
Nine. Eames, as all the world knows,
was formerly the wife of Julian Story,
and this is also De Gogorza's second
matrimonial venture, his first wife,
Mrs. Elsa de Gogorza, having obtained
a divorce from him recently. At nj
time there vas much unpleasant Cos
sip about Nine. Eames having given
Mrs, Elsa de Gogorza 100000 for
setting her husband free from hymeni-
al chains. These rumors, however.
were entirely without foundation, as
the only recompense for alienated at
fections the first Mrs. de Gogorza has
ever received is represented in a
monthly check Of $500, which is sent
to her regularly from her former hus-
band.
Many beautiful wedding gifts were
received by Nine. Eames from the De
Gogorza family. The baritone's moth
er presented her new daughter-in-law
with a collection Of rare old Spanish
fans, and a sister-in-law sent yards Of
priceless point lace.
Nine. Eames de Gogorza has a stump
tuous apartment In Paris, which
probably will be the future home p
the singers when thelE-
engagements allow of domestic life,
for the beautiful soprano will continue
to charm the musical public with her
glorious voice.

BREAD H FLOUR.
Fronoh Machine Transforms the Wheat
Directly Into Dough.

Directly Into Dough.
In France bread has been made
without -four in a machine that trans
forms the wheat directly into dough.
This machine shows a large screw
turning loosely in a case OF the inner
surface Of which is a screw thread
running IN an opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads and the
depth of the groove becomes progress
sively smaller from one end to the
other, SO that it will hold the entire
wheat grain as 1t enters the machine,
at the same time accommodating only
the %pulverized wheat at the exit.
The wheat is prepared by 8 thor
ough washing, after which operation,
says Harper's Weekly, about a pint Of
tepid water to q pound Of grain IS
added, the whole mixture being allow
ed to stand some six hours. Then
the grains Of wheat have swollen to
twice their ordinary size.
The mixture is then treated with
yeast and salt and is poured into the
machine. 1t falls between the threads
of the moving screw and Of the fixed
contrary screw, which simultaneous
ly crush the envelope and body Of the
grain, making of them a homogeneous
mixture that forms a smooth paste.
Bread made by this process con
taips a succession of holes whose size
increases as they approach the crust,
which is thin. The odor given OF Is
said to be especially agreeable.

first when we saw her enter the cloud
and, second, after her escape. The long
closed line, curving around and through
the clouds, indicates the path that she
followed. B B show the positions of the
Osprey at the beginning and the end of
this strange battue, and the dotted line
indicates the course that she pursued.
Short dotted lines, leading to each OF
the smaller clouds, show our shell fire,
and 1t is evident that we narrowly
missed the Chameleon, which must have
been close to the point where the second
shell exploded
In order to make clear the situation
as 1t had nov developed l must ask
the readers attention to the diagram
above.
By the time that we had got out into
the open beyond the two small clouds
Payton had completed his turn and
re-entered the large cloud. Keeping
to the left as soon as he was within
1t, he ran nearly its whole length and
finally emerged. only to dodge behind
the other small cloud.
He was evidently a master of
strategy.
Here he ran the only serious risk Of
discovery during the entire maneuver,
for II we had returned more promptly
we might have been just IN time to
catch sight OF him as he passed the
opening between the clouds.
But we were too late, and while the
Osprey was dashing headlong on her
return through the large cloud the
Chameleon rounded the small n and
was of at full speed in exactly the
opposite direction. No sooner was the

Killed with Tent Stake.

Bennettsville, April 29.-Giuseppi
Lotauro was lodged in jail here last
night, charged with the murder of a
companion, another Italian, at McColl
Thursday morning. It seems that the
two men were members of the band
of the Metropolitan Carnival COM
pany, which has been at McColl for
several days.
The two men, it is reported, had
some misunderstanding on the carni-
val grounds, when Lotauro hit the
other man on the head with a tent
stake. The wounded man fell sense
less and was taken to the hospital,
where he died from conclusion of the
brain. Lotauro fled, but was cap
tured at Hamlet and brought to Nc
Coll, and thence to the jail here.
It has been impossible to learn the
name Of the dead man. It is report
ed the dead man had started to run
and fell twice, when he was over
taken and hit with the stake.

Camden, April 26.-Benj. Halle,
chief of police, and T. ]. Smyrl, Jr.,
put a stop to the prospering blind
tiger business of Primus Wilson, a
mulatto, on Saturday, by clever
piece of detection. On Saturday the
police learned that he had received
two gallons of whiskey from Jack
sonville, and decided to make search
at once. They found nothing and
were about to give up the search
when Mr.. Smyrl began to examine
Wilson's walking stick. The stick
itself was very innocent looking, but
Mr.. Smyrl succeeded in pulling the
top off. The stick had been followed
out and contained a pint of whiskey.
Wilson was not old enough to use a
stick, but had been carrying one for
some time, especially wherever he
could find a crowd Of negroes, and
was prospering on selling drinks at
10 cents each. He was arraigned
before the city recorder on Monday
and let off with a fine of $25 and a
lecture.
