FOUGHT ON BRIDAL TRIP.

Paris. March 15.-The Princess
Zita and the Archduke Karl Franz
after Franz Ferdinand the heir to the
throne of Austro- Hungary, though
married only last October, have al
ready come to the parting of the
ways, says the ''Cri de Paris"
The Princess is not yet 20. She is
q Bourbon from the ducal line of
Parma. She is vivacious, very Italian
in temperament. Her husband is
stolid, German, calm; he is aged %.
Their marriage was said to be one of
love and in no way political.
According to the paper mentioned
the bride and groom quarreled on
their wedding journey, and even, it is
said, fought. Upon their return, af-
ter a violent scene, the bride left the
conjugal roof and went back to her
home. telling her numerous brothers
and sisters what had happened
The aged Emperor Franz-Joseph is
said to be much worried over the af-
fair and he, with the entire imperial
family to help him, is trying to patch
things up.

1t did not take long for the street to

combined in a more or less aggressive
counter attack and within another
week did actually succeed In forcing
up the entire line some ten points.
This action. however. had no effect
upon Phillip Kelvin. Every morning
he sold the monotonous 1000 shares
Of each of the twenty stocks which
had been chosen for attack. On the
day that the bull movement had forced
stocks the highest Galleon remon-
strated.
Look here. Mr.. Kelvin" said he;
you are bucking up against some of
the biggest men on the street, group

"You have everything margined fifty

group to manipulate the market to a

Young Kelvin was quite complacent
about it. 'They are doing me serv-
Ice" said he. 1.-THE margins l have
put up on the stocks previously bought
are ample. They are not going to
force prices far enough to make you
call for more margin. but if they do
the margin will be forthcoming. in

This was the fourth or fifth time
since he had first come into the Of
fee that young Kelvin had ventured
such dire predictions. and in spite of
the fact that, except for the growing
scarcity of actual currency. there was
no mint or trace Of trouble to come.
Henry GalleOn began to be trifle i'm

began speaking Of the matter to 9TH

and from these five centers. aided by
Rensselaer,. there gradually radiated
note of inquiry. Was the market in
q really healthy condition? Was there
an impending break? No one could
tell.
In the meantime Kelvin steadily sold
his twenty stocks in 1000 share lots,
pa became known as the "cash bear"
and there were dozen conflicting sto-
ries as to how he had got his money
Young Eldridge took a great fancy
to him and before he had been on
the market week had him in at Ker-
rvs for dinner with a lot Of the big
guns OF the market It was discovered
that Kelvin distinctly knew how to
comport himself in any company. The
only thing of note he said during that
dinner was that he confidently looked
very shortly for the biggest crash in
the history of the street They heard
this remark in amused silence, but in
the main they liked him. Rollins. one

the only one who studied Kelvin Sc
riously.
ION what do you base that queer
prophecy?" he wanted to know.
'1'm not ready to tell you just yet"
returned Phillip. smiling, "but it is
coming"
II know why" put in Pellman. one
OF the more reckless operators of the
railroad group. It's because our
young friend is on the short side Of
the market for all the real cash in the
country. There must come a panic"
They were quite content to laugh at
Kelvin. He was necessarily green"
being young and new to the street.
Rollins got Phillip to one side after
the dinner.
'T'm very curious about the slump
you predict" he said. II hope it's
true. l want to buy some railroad
stock. and it can't go any too low to

Phillip looked at him in musing 81

honest one written all over him.
"You buy outright only, believe,
Mr.. Rollins" he observed.
"Outright only" replied Rollins.
'Then wait. There will be some

Kelvin had been in the market more

NEW TYPE OF AIRSHIP.

Kiel, Germany, March ia
"stee'' airship, which is being built
upon plans made by a Hanover en-
gineer named Unger, is nearing COM
pletion here. 1t is a departure from
recognized dirigible airship construc-
ton in that it is constructed largely
of steel, and does not carry a car be-
meath. Engines and passenger cabins
are within the airship itself. The
craft is 492 feet long, five feet wide
and II feet in height. 1t weighs ap-
proximately Is tons and is said to
have lifting capacity of 25 tons.
There will be room in the cabin for
SO passengers besides the crew. The
airship will have an armament of two
rapid fire guns, so that it may be
used in case of war.
