MsoN NvMERAl3 : n QUESTION
oshnifsness Net Thoresphly Estab-
ashsd Whom the eystsm Was
Frist introduced.

In ancient timee there was no Pc
culaar carefulness about the value Of
high numerals. The later Latin clas.
sical writer's differentiated more pre-
cisely. though even among them we
find traces of the same looseness
which the Greek authors showed, for
instance in the word myriad" which
meant either ten thousand. or a great
multitude. So the Latin word Mile
stood for "a thousand" or "a large
number" the sense being gathered
sometimes by the case employed In
the governed word. However. the let
ter M was commonly employed to
represent 1000 In what is known now
as the Roman Enumeration. MN meant
thousands loosely. or two thousand II
intended to be used precisely. A dash
over the M changed its value from a
thousand to "a million" or probab bly,
to ''an exceedingly high number" Two
Ms with dash over both, might read
simply millions and millions" IL ora
torically employed or II with precision
simply two millions.

Seizing the dogs throat. the cheetah

the animal was brought from abroad

HELPING JACK OUT
ev ELEANOR kENpRlcksoN.

Miss Molly Gregg" murmured
Richardson to himself as he read the
name upon his fellow-lodger's letters
In the dingy hail. Molly is a pretty
name, but l don't care much for Gregg.
1t would sound much better as Molly
Richardson"
If there was one quality which Jack
Richardson possessed more than any
other it was determination. And the
moment he had set eyes upon the pref
ty, dark-haired young woman who oc-
cupied the little suite adjoining his
single hall bedroom he had determined
that she was going to be his wife.
And he was never wrong. 1t was his
determination which had brought him
to New York in order to make his for
tune with his new screw-clamp, and 1t
was his determination which had kept
him there till he had only twenty-five
dollars left in the world. But deter
mination is no match for plain stupid
ity, and Richardson had come to real
ize that he must either overcome the
pig-headed opposition of the conserva-
tive manufacturers, or accept Jake
Bowen's offer of $4,000 for the patent
rights, or set up for himself. He could
do this with $4,000. But $1,000 seemed
as remote as the moon.
He found the opportunity to speak
to Miss Gregg within few days. That
was when he had SIT in hand. Rich
ardson had reached that critical period
when time is counted in cash instead
of hours and minutes. By the time
that he was privileged to call on her
he had S8.50-but then the rent had
been paid.
Miss Gregg was bright young
newspaper woman. She was on the
staff of the "Hullabaloo," rather SEN
sational paper, it must be admitted,
but one whose circulation justified its
existence. Miss Molly drew out the
taciturn young man, and by the time
three dollars were left he had-well,
he had kissed her.
Although Richardson had told her
nothing of his finances, Miss Gregg
shrewdly suspected the true nature
of the case.
:I almost feel tempted to accept
Bowen's OFFER" he told her when he
was reduced to rs cents. Shall II"
NO." said Miss Molly decidedly.
WE'LL mean you'll fight him. Jack.
And you are going to win."

Gave His Life for Cat.

Trying to save cat. the mate OF
the Hull trawler. Sea Horse. was
drowned off the west coast Of Scotland
a few days ago. The vessel was fish
ing off the coast. when the ships cat.
of which the mate. Ernest Ellis. was
very fond, fell overheard. Ellis leaned
over the ships side to rescue it. and
the skipper, Edward Durbin. hurry
ing along grasped him by the legs.
The ship gave lurch, and both skip
per and mate disappeared into the
water. The skipper and the cat were
saved. Ellis was carried away by the
heavy sea and drowned.

sky and lands in my coat pocket" said
Richardson.
"Perhaps 1t may" answered Miss
Molly enigmatically. do you ever
read the 'Hullabaloo,' Jack?"
mo, I never read the newspapers"
answered Jack gloomily.
Read It," answered Molly. "The
Saturday issues are superb"
She was so short with him after
that that he went back to his room,
On Saturday the rent would be due
again, and he did not know what he
was going to do. He would have to
leave, of course. He would have to
get a position. There might be a
chance for him somewhere; he was
strong. he could handle shovel with
the best. But he had never thought
of anything except his patent.
"And the principle is so simple" he
would say, staring at his models. why
can't they see it?"
But Molly did. Richardson had
come to rely upon Molly. He knew
that with her at his side life would
shower her benedictions upon both Of
them. And his love for her was re-
turned; of that he felt assured.
He ate his last loaf Of bread on Sat
urday morning and waited gloomily
for her to leave her apartment for the
newspaper office. He had resolved
not to say good-by. not to tell her that
this would be their last meeting for
many day. He knew that If he tried
he would be unable to refrain from
asking that question which had been
30 long upon his lips.
When she emerged she was In gala
dress, and, instead of the white para
sol she carried blue one.
Good morning, Miss Molly. You
look very NICE" said Richardson fatu-
ously. Il think you are going to be
wasted on that gloomy old office upon
q day like this"
"I am not going to the Office this
morning. Mr.. Richardson" she an

Money In Moving Pictures"

Eight concerns In Europe supply
the larger part Of the world with NOV.
ing picture films. and the price paid
to procure good pictures is surprising.
There is the instance Of the makers OF
the film showing Forbes-Robertson as
Hamlet, who paid $4,000 for the use
OF castle and costumed 400 people
for the purpose. The whole expendi.
ture was $250,000. but the company
sold 100000 feet OF that film for
$7bo.o00. To obtain the pictures OF
Scott in the Antarctic $3.50. 900 was
expended. and the royalty already col
lected by Mrs. Scott exceeds the orig
inal cost of the picture.
