spoiled his chances by running his arat
quarter in a fraction OF a second over =
minute. He should have run It In 81 or 50
seconds. the half in at least 2O5 and the
three quarters in 3.12. This would have
given him SO seconds In which to finish
his race inside the world record. In 1914
Taber was the runner-up to Jones when
the latter did Ala 2-5, Taber made the
mistake then of not setting the pace HIM
self at the start.
That day the first three-quarters were
run in 316 2-5 Jones sprinted the last
quarter in the phenomenal time of 5s sec

50. Taber will try for Jones' mark at
San Francisco next month. II weather

zone night" said a lawyer, T
was preparing some tedious plead
ings which had to be submitted to
court the following morning, and,
knowing that l would need every
moment of my time, l locked my
self in a small private consultation
room in the rear of my suit, where
no chance caller could interrupt me-
The room is very diminutiye, with
only one window, looking into a
court, and no furniture except a
table and two or three chairs. Well,
/ worked on steadily hour after
hour long after the city had settled
into sleep and silence. The build
ing was so still / could hear even an
occasional mouse scamper across
the floor alone. At last concluded
the task and, sitting erect in my
chair, began to stretch'my cramped
limbs.

to fall on lighted cigar stump ~

away, and | stopped stock still, fro

in that little locked room. l could
swear that no one had entered: The
window was tightly closed, yet there
right at my feet lay half con-
sumed cigar with great live coal
still glowing at the end. 1t seems
ridiculous to confess, but thrill Of
horror ran through me like a gal
vanic shock. A hallucination of any
kind is an appalling thing; it makes
no difference how grotesque OF
homely the subject. 1t carries such
frightful suggestion Of breakdown
in ones mental engine room.
"Wen, / finally summoned up
enough nerve to stoop down and e1-
anime the stump, and what do you
think it was? Why, a tin foil cap
sule from the top Of an ordinary
quart bottle of mucilage. In strip
ping it off it had assumed the cir
cular twist of cigar and, the foil
being brown, was just the right col
or. The red seal at the top formed
the coal, and yard or so away the
illusion was perfect. / drew deep
breath of relief, but it was actually

sumed their normal tension

Strong Words.

Big words pass for sense with

very successfully used when nothing
else will answer, says an English
writer. Thus when a man, in great
