Chapter. x.


 In Washington. one evening in No vember, Justice Prentice sat at a game of chess with Justice Henderson, an associate of his Court. About them were books, for the most part heavy and uninviting, behind anti Quated easements of diamond-sha ped panes, for they were sea ted in the li- brary of Justice Prentice's horse. The room itself was as easy as an old slip per-warm with lamp and f1relight, sweetly aromatic with the trimmings of side-t table. on which kettle sim mered above spirit flame. Near the aged players two tunfblers stood amid the killed and captured chessmen be- side the checkered field on which knight and bishop still interposed be- tween. contend1ng royalties. From each tumbler gentle incense lifted languidly above curl of lemon in the vapor-bath.
 The two men, though near the same age, were alike in little else except ju- dicial moderation of speech-Justice Preltice, poetical, sensitive, artistic. almost feminineiy intuitfve. refined -in features and expression. delicate of frame, and elegant in manner; Justice Henderson, practical, positive, matter of-fact. sceptical. quizzical in glance, secretiye, quaintly humorous, sturdy, and ordinary in figure and carriage
 From time to time as one pondered over a play the other moved about the room, or, lighting a pipe, stood by and studied the board. There was this difference in their methods: in Justice Henderson's attack of "a problem his look was fixed .on the pieces and with a rowing activity; Justice. Prentice fre- quently looked through the smoke ito the ceiling or closed his eyes entirely After one of these .siiences Henderson made move and aiii1ouiiced:. .,Checkmate in three moves!"

 "Yes, yes-I see," interrupted Prem tice; "checkmate- in three, moves that's one game each.' Shall we play 
 Let's look at the enemy" Tender son drew his watch. By love: Guar ter of twelve! guess Mrs Tender son will be expecting me soon" And then, as he returned his time piece to his pocket, he looked up with new in- terest: "T'll play a rubber with you, MT. Prentice, and it's result shall de- eide your position on the Whipple case,''
 Why, I'm surprised at you? A United States Supreme Court decision shaped by game of chess! We'll be down to the level of intelligent ju-

 "A very pretty idea," Henderson answered, with Judicial comp

Miss Helen Gladstone. who is the
youngest daughter Of the famous
statesman. has always been recognized
by her friends as a decided chip OF
the old block She came into the lime
light recently by denouncIng one OF
England's most cherished institutions,
the bazar, and her words have been
quoted from one end of the country
to the other.
Miss Gladstone makes her home at
Hawarden now, but until very lately
she has lived at tue Woman's Univer-
sity Settlement In Southwark and
worked among the poor She has a
keen sense of humor and tells many
funny stories OF her experiences with
the submerged tenth. Once she bought
q set OF teeth for poor, toothless old
dame and presented them to her.
Some time afterward she visited the
old lady and asked how she was get
ting on with her new teeth. Fam
ous," was the reply, "I'm taking great
care of them. When ! eat I takes
them out and wraps them up in cot
ton wool"
Once Miss Gladstone had an offer OF
marriage from an old man who was
an inmate OF common lodging house.
Il shall be only too glad to do It," he
said. provided you can satisfy me
that you have sufficient means"
Another Joke Miss Gladstone tells
upon herself is that in the course of
her visiting she was asked by bux-
ON housewife how many children she
had Miss Gladstone replied that she
was not married Well" was tho can,
did reply, ''it is time you we're"
As public speaker Miss Gladstone
is the greatest sort of a success ard
frantic efforts have been made to per-
suade her to work for the suffrage.
but so far they have been unavailing.

How dangerous the bite of an or
linary gnat may be under special cir
gnstanees even when the best med.
cal assistance Is at hand is shown by
he case of the wife OF one Of the lead
ng surgeons OF Vienna This lady
was bitten on the ankle while taking
ri on the terrace of her suburban
villa a few days ago Inflammation
began on the next day, and despite
local treatment increased so rapidly
that one day later surgical incision
was made. This had to be repeated
on the next day under chloroform.
General blood poisoning had however,
sci in, and consultation Of doctors
finally decided that the only chance OF
saving the lady's life was to amputate
The leg above the knee. The opera.
tion was performed six days after the
bite. but the lady Is still in consider
able danger It Is supposed that the
guat must have been infected with
some putrid matter.

Many Vinita people regret exceed

quarter of century Vinita people
have been ia the habit Of gathering
