"Fortune!"
"Be careful! I've a terrible temper"
But she was not quite prepared for
such roughness. She could not stir, so
strongly did he hold her to his heart.
Not only her lips, but her eyes, her
cheeks, her throat, and again her lips.
He hurt her, but her heart sang. No
man could initiate love like that.
THAT is the way want to be loved.
Always love me like that. Never wait

II IL difficult to determine the cause
of most aeroplane accidents, but dur
ing the investigation which followed
the fatal accident to Lieutenant So
velle recently in France an important
discovery is said to have been made
by eye-witnesses. This was that tho
wing of his Bleriot broke downward
instead Of, upward, indicating that
there was an extreme downward press
ure as the operator started to vol
plane. Experiments lately made in
France are said to have confirmed this.
and It is now believed to be necessary
to guy the wings as substantially
above as below.

it was only because George threatened
to warn the conspirators that he SUBJ

"And," went on George, eff you do

Major Callahan swayed his glass
back and forth under his nose. Smells

the butler.
Mrs. Chedsoye seemed absorbed In
other things. She was trying to dis
cover what 1t was that gave this gu.
preme moment so fiat taste. 1t was
always so; it was the chase, the goal
was nothing. It was the excitement OF
going toward, not arriving at, the des-
tination. Was she, who considered
herself so perfect, freak after all,
shallow like a hill.stream and as aim
less in her endeavors? Had she pos
sessed a real enthusiasm for any.

twisted avenue OF years. Had any.

From the bags Of gold her glance
strayed up and over to Ryanne. Love?

In Philadelphia county the reform

has elected its entire county ticket
consisting of District Attorney, Regis,
trar of wills, Receiver of Taxes

done deliberately and boastfully. Ths
confession is made that the claus~
granting a rebate OF per cent. OF the
duties on imports In American vesseis
will have to be repealed. No attempt
in fact, is being made to enforce &
because the government officials are
so sure that the work done by con-

Cincinnati and Cleveland Results
Shocking Surprises to Politicians
in the State Capitol.

Columbus, Ohio.-Bewildering rever-
sails of form and the unexpected up
setting of the calculations of political
leaders we're features of the Ohio
municipal elections Tuesday. The de-
feat of Mayor Henry T. Hunt, of Gin
cinnati, and the recapturing of that
city by the old Republican organiza-
ton under new leadership was a shock
ing surprise ct the State Capitol
Another shock was sustained in the
great reduction of the majority To
which Mayor Newton ID. Baker has
been receiving in Cleveland. 1t fell
from 1900 to less than 5000 over
Harry l.. Davis, and there are claims
that the Democratic control of Coun-
ell is jeopardized.
In Toledo Senator Carl Keller, Re-
publican, defeated both the Progress
sives under State Chairman Walter +,
Brown and the old independent organ.-
zation which was founded by Golden
Rule Samuel Jones and perfected by
Brand Whitlock. The overthrow was
a terrible one. In this city Mayor
George j. Karb was reelected with
ease. securing as many votes as all
of his three opponents.
In Hamilton. through the division
of the old-time Democratic majority,
the Socialists, who have been in con-
troll OF the Council, seem to have
elected their Mayor and Increased
their power in other ways.
