Asabri, head of the great banking
house of AsabTi Brothers in Rome,
had been great sportsman in his
youth. But by middle-age he had
grown a little tired, you may say; so
he looked now with favor upon auto
mobiles, mOtOr-bOats and saddle
horses.
Almost every afternoon he rode
alone in the Campagna, covering
great distances on his stanch Irish
mare, Biddy. She was the handsOm-
est horse in Rome; her master the
hardsomest man. He looked like
some old Roman consul going out to
govern and ciVilize.
One day as he rode out Of Rome
he saw that fog was gathering; and
he resolved, for there was an mex
haustible well of bOyishness within
him, to get lost in it. He had no en-
gagement for that night; his family
had already left Rome for their villa
on Lake Como. Nobody would worry
about him except Luigi, his valet.
''Biddy," he said after time, in
English, 'this is no common Roman
mist; it's a genuine fog that has been
sucked up from the salt sea. You
can smell salt and fish. We shall be
lost, possibly for long time. There
will be no hot mash for you tonight.
You will eat what goats eat and be
very grateful"
He had not counted on two things.
At dinner time he was hungry; at
supper time he was ravenouS. And
he no longer thought of losing him
self on purpose, but made all the eff
forts in his power to get back to
Rome.
There was a gIimmering point of
light off to the left, and he urged
Biddy toward it. He saw presently

The fire was cooking something in

Three young men sat cToss-legged,

Connecticut Suffrage News.


 At special meeting of the board Of directors of the Hartford Equal Fran chise League held last Saturday, it was announced that the fund of three thou sand dollars which was necessary in order that the League might engage new head quarters in Pratt Street had been com pleted Pledges of $500. 5000 and $600 had been received by the President, and there was consequently no obstacle to the taking of the premises. The new headquarters will have two large show windows on the street-which is the fayorite and most fashionable shopping street in Hartford. These windows will be used for suffrage exhibits. Two large connecting rooms will afford ample space for small public meetings, and there will be accommodation for the press department of the State Associa- tion. as well as a reading room where suffrage books and periodicals will be at the disposition of visitors. The new headquarters will be ! gathering place for suffragists from all over the State when they come to Hartford on business or for pleasure, and as the State Head quarters will greatly enlarge the scope of suffrage work of the O. w. s.

OPERATING
Tremendous Details of Carrying On
 TeIephonic Business.

Tremendous Details of Carrying On
 TeIephonic Business.
 Telephone operating, although the general belief may be to the contrary, does not begin and end with the estab- lishment and taking down of connec- tions between two telephones. This is but one phase of the traffic, and a side of at least equal interest is the closeDess with which operating officials follow the traffic in order to be certain that each operator is handling the amount of busi- ness she can properly care for.
 Once each month, three days are set aside and "peg count is taken. This consists of an absolute count of every local call handled in the Exchange dur ing the seventy-two hours under inspec' tion. to obtain this, counter, similar to the old bicycle cyclometer, is placed beside each operators position on the switchboard Every call that an opera tor handles is punched up on this cy- clometer.
 Once an hour the count is taken for each cyclometer by clerk and put on record. This process is repeated until the figures have been obtained for the three days. From these figures the average business handled at each opera. tors position, or the amount each opera tor is cariug for. is figured.
 It is known, from thousands of tests, that the average operator can satisfacto- rily handle certain number of calls per hour. If the "peg count" figures show she is handling more or less than this figure it mean that change must be made in order that the service may not suffer. After carefully studying the re- port, the chief operator mover lines from in front of the operator with too heavy load and brings them into the switch board in front of an operator who has not not been answering as many calls as may be fairly expected of her.
 The intent and effect of this watchful- ness is to build up of the general eff ciency of the entire force, and to make for greater accuracy and speed in the handling of calls. This is but one illus tration of the efforts being made by The Southern New England Telephone Com. pany to give the best possible telephone | service

WON'T DISTURB POSTMASTERS
Congressman Kennedy Says They Vii
 Serve Out Their Terms.

Congressman Kennedy Says They Will
 Serve Out Their Terms. A Washington correspondent writes, concerning Congressman William Ken- nedy. of our own Fifth district:
 Congressman William Kennedy re- turned from Connecticut Monday morn- ing. He will spend a few days about the Department on business connected with his district. He called at the post office department yesterday morning and filed request that the free de- livery system be established at the or flee in Terryville, Litchfield County. There are he said over 4,000 patrons of the office, the houses are numbered, the streets have sidewalks and are well lighted and he can see no reason why the patrons of the office should not en- joy the benefits of free delivery. He added his endorsement to the petition before filing it.
 When asked if it was his intention to nominate candidate for the post office at Ansonia before the term of the present postmaster expired, he said he did not. He said that he had been petitioned to do so but had made up his mind that all the postmasters in his district should serve out their original terms. He knew what was being charged against Postmaster Gaylord, that he was Republican and a member of the State Central Commit tee, and party worker. He thinks this is the right of MT. Gaylord if the duties of his office are not neglected. He says he does not consider that because man holds government office he should lose all interest in public and party affairs.
 The matter of the Connecticut Judge ships, he said. was unchanged. He thinks New Haven man will be ap- pointed to the vacancy made by the resignation of Judge Moves.
 He sad he thought the Connections delegation had fared very well in com mittee assignments, all things oonsid- cred. Of his own assignments he thinks the committee on patents the best. This committee will have the revision of the patent laws before it, which is of much interest to Connecticut people.

The police captain regarded his visi-
tor with curious expectation.
My name is Ransome Jordan Did
you ever hear it before?"
A strange smile crossed the face OF
the official
why, yes'-he began, but Jordan
went on with his story!
Il was a wild wiIful fellow here
years ago, and trained with a wilder
crowd. One night in drunken brawl
a friend named Prescott insuIted and
attacked me. 1 resented him with a
knife thrust 1 heard later he died
It was self defense, but I have come
back to clean the slate, whatever the
law may say"
Il have heard of youi" cried the Of
fetal, arising and wringing the hand
Of Jordan with strange fervor. Come
this way"
He led his visitor into an adjoining
court room He pointed at q large oil
portrait
William Prescott still lives. He is
Judge of this court, and after that
night you refer to become a reformed
man"
Thank heaveni" murmGred Jordan
in a great aspiration of Joy and re-
lief
DO you recall nothing further OF
that night?" asked the official, queer
expression on his lips.
Little but flight, despair. My brain
was crazed with the drink and the
horror of my deed. I recall a fire, and
plunging into its exciting whirl. hoping
fate would blot me out"
'Again-come, with me- invited the
official
He led the way, to the street and to
the outskirts of the town where a
large building stood
The fire you speak Of" he said,
destroyed the old structure of the
DoTothea Sisterhood- That night a
brave man by means of a plank span

the building from death. You never
heard of it? Strange! See" and Jor-

And that was me, gasped the pet

in loving memory, because you disap-

So the pilgrimage ended. but its
echoes, now made public, reached
Lucky Gulch ahead of Jordan's return.

Putation of welcoming friends knew
he would now accept rightful honor.

stepped from the train.
