WANTEp-WooDEN BEG.

ames Gilbert, 10 years Old, OF
Pittsburgh, has been unfortunate
ali his life;
His parents died when he was
Z years old. He had no relatives
who would look after him. So he
had to make his own way in the
world as best he might.
He managed fairly well and he
became in time a fulkAedged
cooper. Then he went to Akron,
o., to get a better job than the
one he had in Pittsburgh.
He got the job all right, but
one month after he got it he
stumbled while crossing the rail
road tracks and was run over. His,
right leg had to be amputated
from the thigh.
When he got out of the hospi-
tai he tried to workat his old job.
He was too weak to do so and had
to quit after one week,
He left Akron and beat his way
to Chicago. He arrived here yes
terday. Last night he went to
sleep in the alley at Peck Court
and South State street.
A teamster coming down the
alley almost stepped on him. Gil
bert Weakened with a start. The
teamster thought Gilbert intend
ed to hold him up. He smashed a
can of beer in the boys face.
1t cut Gilbert's face frightfully
The may lost his right eye-and
a policeman who came along
minute later placed Gilbert under
arrest.

job. But can't hold a job with
only one leg. SO the first thing l
want is an artificial leg,
Judge Going offered the boy
dollar or two.
Il don't want your money"
said Gilbert, Il don't want any
body's money. | want to make
my own way in the world, and l
want to be able to think my own
thoughts and benny own master.
j couldn't do that if | accepted
charity
II want job, but 1 want a
wooden leg first, because / can't
get a job until l get one. "
Gilbert has been sent to the
Mission of Our Lady of Mercy at
1882 Jackson boulevard for a few
days. In the meantime court Off
Gals who were touched by his
story and his independence are
trying to find some way of get
ting him one wooden leg and a
chance in the world.

Automobile Chases Driver Up a Tree

q AN FRANCISCO.-It is scarcely be-
y coming in an automobile to pitch
Its owner into the branches of tree
and then get on It's hind wheels and
threaten to devour him If he dares to
come down.
A Texas steer or an African lion, or
an orang outang might be expected
to do a stunt of that kind, but not a
refined motor car. And yet that is ex-
ac.ly the experience that Louis Deg
el ar, a coffee importer, had with his
car the other evening. He painted a
word picture Of the affair in Police
Judge Sullivan's court. where he was
on trial for speeding.
Degener had just purchased the car.
He was beginning TO master the driv-
Ing of it, as he thought He invited a
friend for a trip. Everything went
smoothly until they started for home
about dark. But they no sooner got
INTO Golden Gate park than the trouble
began.
There seemed nothing to do" said
Oegener to the court, but let that ma
shine take its course. When | tried

ng to blow up. We we're going like

DOSTON.-Mozes Pimentel, cigar
ID maker of Boston, and Marie Jo-
hanna Liesmann of Amsterdam, Hol-
land, have been married without
either leaving home. The queen OF
Holland consented to their marriage
by proxy.
Though marriage by proxy is not
allowed in the United States, so many
legal steps have been taken to bring
about this union that there seems no
doubt the immigration people will
recognize it when the bride arrives IN
America
When Mozes Pimentel strolled into
the office of Charles c. Dasey, acting
counsul of Holland, and said he
wished to be married by proxy, Mr..
Dasey did not believe it could be done.
However, on the insistence Of the Hol-
!ander he sent a statement of the sit
nation to the consul general at New
York
The ceremony Of acquiring a bride
without being present at the ceremony
as gone through with Pimentel is as
follows:

O'Rourke in a flash swung on his
heel. simultaneously he came face to
face with Quick. He could have cried
aloud IN pity.
The captain swayed before him,
massively built figure clothed all in
white, huge arms trembling towards
his head, revolver dropping from a
nerveless hand, his chin fallen for
ward on his chest, stupid, weary
smile on his face, and a dark and hid
eous smear spreading swiftly over the
bosom Of his shirt.
A cry Of horror, despair and rage
stuck in the wanderers throat. Quick,
who had hailed his appearance on the
Rance at Alden as a harbinger Of good
luck, had been foully murdered. His
dominant emotion of the moment, an
intense and pitiful solicitude for the
dying man, threw him off his guard

Undergraduates Make Themselves al

Professor.

If you climb the south stairway OF
Hollis hall, one of the ancient and
honorable dormitories Of Harvard,
some Saturday night after ten o'clock
you will find Charles Townsend Cope
land in his room up under the roof by
the side of ''sea coal fire." and,
overfowing from chair and settled
to the floor at his feet, crowd Of un-
dergraduates. There are athletes
editors of college papers. Socialists,
atheists, gentlemen, social stars and
the lesser orbs whose light is hid un'
der the college bushel.
1t is a wonderful room, lined from
floor to low ceiling with books. The
broad mantel and the little wall space
are covered up with signed pictures
of great people that you read about
and all the long generations OF boys
whose friend he has been. over the
door is a horseshoe and a bunch OF
rowan berries. The only light is from
the FIRE, perhaps a candle on the man
tlepiece, and the reading light to the
left of the fire. where sits the little
man, interminably smoking an infa'

rose again refreshed and waxed to
half a gale. At midnight O'Rourke,
leaving the bridge. left the Rance driv-
ing steadily through a racing sea,
through a world noisy with the crisp
rattle and crash of breaking crests.
Fortifying himself with strong cof-
fee. the adventurer settled himself In
a chair by the foot of the companion
way steps leading up from the tiny
saloon that served as dining-room for
all but the crew of the tramp. From
this position he commanded both en-
frances, port and starboard, from the
upper deck as we'll as the doors that
fanked them on either hand, to the
quarters occupied by Mrs. Prynne and
to Dravos stateroom, which was emp
ty and would be so until the next
change Of watch.
The succeeding hours dragged inter
minably, quiet and unevent-
ful.
About six bells the moon got up,
and its rays, filtering through the
heavy-ribbed glass of the skylight,
filed the saloon with an opalescent
simmer that assorted anonymously
with the dull glow of the electric
bulbs-dull, because there was some
thing wrong with the dynamo, accord
ing to Dravos.

HHICAGO.-David j. Winder, who
" keeps a cobbler shop near the cor
ner Of Evanston avenue and Irving
Park boulevard, found a handful Of d.
Almonds, valued at $4,000, in the toe
Of an old shoe brought TO him TO re-
pair, and for returning the jewels TO
the owner was offered a reward Of
one dollar, which he refused.
When the story Of the lost diamonds
and the reward threatened to become
public, Mrs. Robert w. Dunn. owner
Of the gems disappeared. It was said
at her home, 4065 Sheridan road, that
she had left the city.
Winder and his wife we're both busy
in their shop when inquiries were
made there.
"Oh, yes" said Winder, banging
wooden peg into the sole Of a shoe
and shifting to one side a few more
pegs he held between his teeth, u
found the diamonds. II was the big
gest find | ever made. There's hard

Mrs. Dunn sent her old shoes over
here by a girl There were five OF
them in a rickety pasteboard box My
wife received them. marked them,
tossed them over In a corner and gave
the girl a check with a number on it.

moments before it conveyed to him
warning. Then Immediately he aban-
doned his seat and stretched himself
out upon transom against the after
bulkhead, whence he could see some
thing less of the upper gangway, but
sufficient for his purposes. For his
chair had been beneath the skylight.

"Therell be no dropping one OF those

He gaped tremendously The peace
of the night, the singing of the waves
against the Ranee's sides. the deep
throb and unbroken surge of her en-
gines, and the sustained, clear note
of the monsoon in her wire rigging
these combined with physical fatigue

fantastic borderland of dreams. Yet

fancy. And that led him out OF the
sordid saloon of the Rance across the
seas that lay ahead of that ships
prov, to the fair land whittier he was
to convey the Pool of Flame. e.
Abruptly he leapt to his feet, wide
awake and raging.
A blow was still sounding through
the saloon dull crash. Buried half
way to the hilt in the bulkhead back
of the transom a knife quivered. In
stinctively the wanderers fingers had
closed upon the grip Of his revolver.
He pulled the trigger almost before
he realized what had happened and
sent bullet winging toward a spot
on the gangway above where pair
of long brown legs had been but now
we're not. On the heels of that fruit
less shot he sent another. this time
with no murderous intent, but to
heart hot within him, mouth dry with
thirst for that lascar's blood. Not
