Have You This Habit7

"One funny thing l have learned
about human nature" said the drug
store cashier, is the habit many peo
pie have of marking their own name in
the city directory. They do that be-
cause the directory is the only place
where their name ever gets into print,
and it has such fascination for them
that they can't resist calling attention
to it. A funny old man who likes to
talk tells me that he has made spe-
cial trips to different parts of the city
Just to mark his name in the direc-
tories of the neighborhood. He puts
a little cross in red ink before it. l
asked him what good 1t did. He said
none possibly, although he is teach
er of languages and may get a few
calls on account of that queer adver-
tisement.
"But his is an exceptional case. Not
many persons spend time and money
in hunting city directories, but every
time they happen to see a new one
they can't help looking up their name
and putting some kind Of a mark
around it."

If the proprietor had not assured

Perhaps you can" admitted Hews
''but you're not going to be such q
ninny. You're safe in possession; Il
you do the right thing by me, the
things dead and buried so far as I'm
concerned"
What is your price?" demanded
Wilfrid, apparently getting down to
business.
Roger Hews drew long breath and
moistened his lips nervously. 1t was
crucial moment.

same, l want fair rake-off. Suppose
we say $5,O00,00O Cash, mind! You'll

"And supposing that close with
this very liberal offer of yours, what
assurance have | that in the near flu
ture you will not be at my heels again
with a similar demand? I've always
heard that the way of the transgres-
sor who pays hush-money is hard"
"Ill put all the proofs in your hands

Hews eagerly. That five millions be-

What is the nature of these So

Roger considered moment, then:
Mostly documents-copies of mar

davits of various persons bearin' on
the case. OF course, my story comes
in an makes the hull thing plain; but
l shall be mum if you come to terms"
Il see," said Stennis, appearing to
fall in with Rogers proposition. But

outline the situation for me, Mr.. Hews.
You need not mention names or dates
unless you choose. l may as we'll tell

WON'T LET THE WOMEN FLY
MaIe AvIators Are Willing to Take
Chances Themselves, but at That
They Draw the Line.

as unfit and unduly fearing for her
safety. Mr.. Paulhan would not allow
his wife to try to fly lest she might

Inc Wright is kept to earth by con-
spiracy Of kindness. One of the crack
Wright operators and champion high
flyer, when asked why Miss Wright
does not undertake to fly on her own
account, said: I'VE won't let her! Nor
we won't take her up! She might get

In hair-raising stunts in the air
So 1t is with Mrs. Glenn H. Curtiss.
She must not fly; her husband Will
not allow her to take the risk. She
does, however, take an active part in
his business and is a valued adviser
to him in his undertakings. That was
especially evident from the statement

teur meet following his failure to COM

against Grahame- White. In an effort
to beat his competitor Curtiss took his

Elnht-storx Fall Not Fatal.

Alexander Hsslett, a work on the
steel frames of a modern building,
while adjusting a rope on an elevator,
slipped and fell eight stories through
a shaft.
Death seemed certain. There was
nothing between him and the brick
pavement 20 feet below. Two stories
down there was a board projecting.
He grabbed for the board and caught
It. He could not hold It, but he broke
the strength of his fall for two sto-
ries. The impetus threw him into a
somersault. but as he turned the
fourth story he grabbed a board and
again broke his fall. This happened
twice in the few seconds in which he
shot like a bullet past story after
story. He struck the ground, but he
had only a slight injury to his skull.
Neither arms nor legs were broken

savant pathetically to Clara after re
counting to her the complete collapse
of fortune that had come to Wilfrid
Stennis.
"Will he have nothing at all?" in
Quired Miss Passavant, the money, as
usual, uppermost in her mind.
Under the will he could legally
hold on to all, but If Miss Trevecca
chose to contest she could probably
break it, seeing that the instrument
was executed under total misappre-
hension on the part of the testator
But Stennis insists upon relinquish-
ing everything-Quite quixotically, as
| told him; but he is obdurate. He
says it Is what Andrew Meleen would
have wished, and declares he is going
to earn his own living once more"
II admire him for that" said Clara,
with half-sigh.
What shall you do, my dear?" in
Quired the lawyer anxiously.
"You must take me away to Europe
at once, papa; it will be all over town
in "a hours, and l will not permit my
self to be commiserated or made the
recipient of polite condolences"
Perhaps that would be the best
thing" assented the old worldling.
"Carboy is coming on, and l can get
him to take charge Of the Office for
awhile"
Clara had her way, as usual and
thus escaped much of the gossip
anent the breaking-off of the mar
riage. A year later she married
Russian count twice her age, and New
York society knew her no more.
1t was even as lawyer Passavant
had said. Wilfrid chivalrously refused
to touch another dollar of Andrew
Meleens money!
The interview between him and
Eunice Trevecca, though very brief,
was a touching and trying one
Acting on one of those boyish i'm
pulses which will never leave him,
and actuated by an exalted idea of
making restitution and doing penance,
he rode and walked straight to Mac
iougal street after leaving Roger
Hews.

SYNOPSIS.

Andy Meleen, aged millionaire miner is
dying and orders a will drawn up, leaving
all his property to the son of a sister of
whom he has heard nothing for years,
and whose married name he does not
know. Meleen was married years before,
but left his wife after a quarrel in which
he struck her. He learned later that she
and their daughter were dead. The scene
shifts to New York, introducing Wilfrid
Stennis, who is telling his fiancee, Eunice
Trevecca, what he would do If he were
nee of Carboy, Passavant & Cozine, at
torneys for the estate of Meleen. Roger
Hews reports the result of his search for
heirs of Meleen. He conceals the fact that
he has discovered that Meleen's daughter
Is living Wilfrd Stennis replies to an ad
vertiSement for information concerning
his dead mother, Martha Meleen, and Is
told that he is the heir to Andy Meleens
millions. He wants to marry Eunice at
once, but she resolutely demurs. He meets
Clara Passavant, frivolous daughter of
Wilfrids attentions to Clara. He builds
a yacht and starts on a trip abroad. the
Passavants being included In the party.
Roger Hews, having discovered that Eu-
nice Trevecca is the daughter of Andy
Meleen, plans to use the Information to
his own advantage. He proposes to Eu-
nice and is rejected. Jaded after two
years of galety in Europe, Wilfrid returns
and Immediately calls on Eunice. His at
tempts to renew his former relations
with her meet with no encouragement.
The engagement Of Clara Passavant and
Wilfrid Is announced Hews Is again
rejected by Eunice, and reveals his true
nature.

-And now I'll ten you what you may

-And now I'll ten you what you may
do" said Stennis, hugely enjoying the
others discontinue. "You can &c
right downtown and tell Mr.. Passa
want what you have Just told me-"
See here, Mr. Stennis," began the
other cringing, anxiously.
Not another word on that subject
Mr. Hews," insisted Wifrid decidedly
But first will trouble you to write
the name and address of that youny
lady, my cousin"
III be damned If / dol" retorte6
Hews passionately.
You'll certainly be damned If 20
dont!' exclaimed Wilfrid grimly
clutching his riding whip firmly an
advancing towards the now tremblins
conspirator. "The name, you scour
drel, before shake it out of you!"
"Oh, you know her we'll enough
curse you!" he blurted out. ITS Ell
nice Trevecca!"
Stennis fell back a pace, his fac
the picture of blank wonder and a.
tonishment.
"Eunice Trevecca!" he gasped. "Sh,
my cousin and the daughter OF Al
drew Meleen!"
That's what | said!" Hews an
swered sullenly And then, with We
hement spite, he added "A swee
mess you've made Of 1t in that quar-
ter, haven't you? If you'd only played
your cards right, you'd have been her
husband by this time and fingered the
money anyhow"
But Stennis, If he heard them, paid
no attention to the words; his brain
was busy taking in the full signif-
cance of this ar az'rg climax to the
strange DISCLOSURE OF the day, the
truth of which he could no longer
doubt. However, this was no time for
connected thinking; the main thing
was to let the truth be known at once.
He went to the door and unlocked
it, then turned to the crestfallen Hews
with these words:
"Oblige me by Immediately taking
your story and your proofs to Mr.. Pas
savant He will not value your infor-
nation quite as extravagantly as you
do, but he will doubtless pay you
something for your trouble. AS for
Miss Trevecca-I shall have the pleas |
ure of breaking the news to her my.
self"
