SURPRISING Auntie.

The following, related by the Atchi-
son Globe, is one little boys idea Of
a pleasant surprise party: Little
Fritz Kruger, Globe carrier, recently
was unfortunate enough to break his
leg. Soon after the accident he learned
that his aunt, Miss Dorathea Kruger,
would arrive within day or two from
Crete, Neb., and he urged his parents
not to inform his aunt that he had
broken his leg. 81 want to surprise
her when she comes," the little fellow
said. When his aunt did arrive she
assumed to him that she had not
learned of his accident. On going to
his bedside, she asked him why he had
gone to bed so early. "'Cause was
tired" he said, but finally he added
that a surprise party was in store for
her. Then he threw back the covers
and showed the cast of his leg and
smiled triumphantly. 1t was his idea
of the most successful kind of sur.
prise party.

and make him speak. 1t was, after
all, simply a question of whether the
game was worth the candle. How best
could they expose or fight a deceit?
And that the deception was for noble
purpose and to serve laudable end in
the minds of the deceivers did not
alter that fact.
''YOu are doing nothing in the least
degree dishonorable, Miss Illingworth,"
said Rodney, reassuringly. "Woman's
wiles have been her weapons since
the Stone Age"
But 1 do feel compunctions of con-
science occasionally"
Personally 1 think you are abunt-
antly justified" urged Rodney.
'Yes, to establish the truth, to give
the man / love his good name would
justify more than this" she replied,
"and yet"-she smiled faintly-"my
conscience does hurt me a little. The
old man is beginning to love me-"
"That's the reason it hurts you," said
Rodney. "When he loves you enough
ne will do anything you want, as I
would"
The young man stopped, looked long
at her, and then turned away with lit
tie gesture of-was it appeal or re-
nunciation? He was too loyal to his
friend to speak, but he could not con-
troll everything. The tone of his voice,
the look in his eyes, his quick avoid
ance of her, told the woman a little
story. They had been very closely as
sociated, these two. Rodney also had
not had much advantage of woman's
society, certainly not of a woman like
Helen Ilingworth. She had given him
her full confidence in the intimacy.
He was a man. He loved like others.
She was too fond of him, too great,
too true a woman to pretend.
"Mr. Rodney" said the girl, laying
her hand on his arm as though TO re-
strain him. "that way madness lies"
Missy. Illingworth, said Rodney,
! turning and facing her, his lips firm
ly compressed, his eyes shining. I'm
devoted to Bert Meade and to YOU
he lifted her hand from his arm and
kissed it-"and I'm going to do every
thing for your happiness"
Brave words and he said them more
bravely.
| "I understand" said the woman,
"and 1 honor you for your loyalty to
your friend and your devotion to me.
Loyalty is not always the easiest
thing on earth, know"
"You make it easy for me because
you understand"
So the fall and winter were filled
with interest to Helen nlingworth and
there was in her days no lack of hope
Every Saturday the flowers that Meade
had arranged for spoke words of love
to her and bade her not forget, al
though that was admonition she did
not need.
That was the only message that she
received from her lover. He had
dropped out of sight completely. They
caused search to be made for him
sought tidings of him in every possible
way, but in vain. Her heart almost
broke sometimes at the separation. She
had confidence enough in her power
over him, and in her woman's wit, tC
feel that If she had only another op
portunity she might learn the truth
force it from him, constrain him to tel
1t, because she loved him!

CHAPTER XVII.
Once More Unto the Work.

Once More Unto the Work.
The Martlet Bridge company had
finally weathered the storm, although
it was, of course, not intrusted with
the new International bridge which was
about to be commenced. When Ber-
tram Meade read of the new undertak-
ing, it cut him to the heart. This
time there would be no mistake. In
the necessity of recouping its fortunes,
the Martlet Bridge company entered
upon an even wider career. The direc-
tors took contracts which they had
hitherto disdained because they were
comparatively unimportant, and they
bid on operations which they had
hitherto left to competitors. They were
building the great steel viaduct by the
town of Coronado below the dam, and
they had already built the splendid
steel arch that spanned the ravine,
here almost gorge, in the valley of
the Kicking Horse to the eastward of
the big mesa.
After Christmas, Colonel nlingworth
decided to make another of his tours of
inspection, and as Helen was not look
ing particularly well from the strain
under which she was laborlng, he Of
fered to take her with him, especially
as he was going to the far Southwest.
where the weather would be mild and
pleasant, to inspect the growing via
duct and the completed arch. She
gladly availed herself of the permis-
sion. There was always possibility.
albeit q most remote one, that she
might hear of Meade. That it might be
well to invite a representative of The
Engineering News, to wit, Rodney, to
accompany them, so that the really
| splendid work the Martlet company
was doing might be made widely
known. The party consisted of the
father and daughter, Curtiss, the chief
engineer, Doctor Severence, the vice
president and financial man, and Rod
ney.
! Now Helen Illingworth had not the
least reason in the world to suspect
that Bertram Meade was in any way
connected with this engineering prof
ect, but Rodney had pointed out and
had imbued her with his own belief
that sooner or later, when Meade was
found he would be found engaged in
engineering in some capacity.
Its in his blood" said Rodney. "Ht
can no more keep away from it thar
he can stop breathing. He can't d(
anything else. Somewhere he's at thu

it might be out there at Coronado, o.

Rodney laughed.

Addition to Nays Strength.

Several advantageous features have
been Incorporated in a new kite balloon
lately constructed for use at the navy
aeronautical station at Pensacola, Fla.
The balloon is described, with illustra-
tions, in the Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. One of the noticeable differences
in it's design from observation craft
of the sort employed in European
countries is the total absence of the
sausagelike rubber bag at the posterior
end. An additional feature which is
somewhat distinctive is the provision
of an air flap or pocket on the under
side, near the middle. This is held open
by Suy lines extended from the free
edge to the observers basket swung
far below and is understood to give
the device, with the help of the tail
cups, considerable stability. To facilf-
tate the handling of the balloon reel
accommodating 1000 feet of cable and
operated by power transmitted through
a flexible shaft from the rear wheel of
motorcar, is employed. The envelope
is 81 feet in length and has MAXI
mum diameter of % feet.

KNOWN TO ALL THE WORLD
Port of EIsinore, in Denmark, Made
Famous Through the Genius of
Immortal English Poet.

Elsinore is a little port city of Den
ward to reach within three miles of
the coast of Sweden. Elsinore is the
home of busy shipyards, Of thriving
summer colony; it has been immor-
talized in the songs of Kipling as
port hospitable to the errant sailor; :;
finally and especially it is the scene
where Shakespeare laid the tragedy
of "Hamlet."
The overthoughtful and melancholy
figure of Hamlet rather overshadows
the rest of Elsinore, to the casual WIS.,
itOr at least. The summer colony
seems to succeed in forgetting his
pessimistic point of view, but the
tourist is led to the grave of Hamlet.
he is shown the brook where Ophelia
flung herself to drown her sorrow, and
hidden to contemplate the platform
where the ghost of the murdered king
took its after-dinner promenade.
Needless to say, all such associa-
tons are pure fakes. They seem to
arise wherever some great human
drama, real or fictitious, has been en-
acted, responding to need of human
ity for some concrete object to serve
as q center for its sentiments. The
grave of Hamlet has long been an as
set to Elsinore, but if rumor can be
credited it has not always occupied
the same site. According to this tale
the original "grave" was inconvenient'
ly located for display purposes, so the
people of Elsinore finally raised the
money to erect q fitting monument tc
| Shakespeare's prince in more acces
sibIe place. AS for the ghosts plat
form, the castle of which 1t forms
part was not built until long after the
time when the tragedy was supposed
to have been enacted.

tary way of doing things the infinite
tact of woman, stimulated by grow
ing, overwhelming devotion to her ab-
sent lover. She cherished that feeling
for him In any event and would have
done so but the whole situation was so
charged with mystery and surcharged
with romance that it made the most
powerful and stimulating appeal to
her.
She lived to vindicate Meade and
she bent every effort toward that end.
She did not overdo it, either. Final
ly, as he himself continued to press
the subject upon her, she made no Sc
cret to Shurtliff Of her devotion to the
younger Meade, her sorrow that he had
made such a declaration, and her de-
termination to wait for him. She was
always careful to end every cOnversa-
ton by saying that she knew her out
look was perfectly hopeless and that
she could expect nothing except sor-
row until the younger Meade was re-
habilitated. She so contrived matters,
while constantly affirming her feeling

Why Danny Didn't start

Danny Clements was captain Of

craft was loaded with brick, ready to
start for New York, but Danny gave
no sign of any intention to get under

q pipe.

sons for wishing the bricks in New
York at the earliest possible moment.

ed to know why Danny didn't sail.
"There's no wind" said Danny.
''No windi What's the matter with
you? There's Morgan's schooner un-

"Yis. Owe been watching her, but

much about those things, but I can

''But not more than the reputation of
his father" she said with a little tinge
of bitterness.
'Well, take it he looked at that as
a matter of honor. You know mans
got to keep his ideals Of honor"
"Even at the expense of q woman's
hearth" said the girl.
'It sounds hard, but I guess we've
got to admit that. But that's neither
here nor there" he continued, gliding
over the subject, "the point is I found
that he had to fight it out himself, and
I mainly let him alone. I gave him a
horse and gun and turned him loose in
the wilds. Best place on earth for a
man in his condition, Miss Illingworth.
You can go out into the wilderness and
get nearer to God there than any

"He may be here?" said Rodney.

"He wouldn't work under his owl

Makjn0 Homes.

In family life, in the real home, the
highest qualities of character may be
developed. There is force in family
affection that makes and keeps the
heart tender to ALL 1t banishes selfish
ness, jealousy and malice. In happy
home life cruelty finds no place. Even
animals feel the benefit of the tender
heart. We need. and need greatly,
more good will to all with whom we
have to do. We need to know how to
make allowances for failures in others,
to make concessions to the wishes and
conveniences of others. The friendly
give and take of family life tends to
make one more fitted for living in the
mmunity.-Milwaukee Journaf.

DRAIN ON FRENCH MANHOOD
Comparison With Other Wars Shows
How That Country Is Feeling Ef-
fects of Grim Struggle.

One day last week heard Stephane
Lauzanne, editor of the Matin of Paris,
say that one person out of every ten in
France is soldier in the war.
That is terriically heavy mobiliza-
ton. In no American war has the NUM-
Der of soldiers in proportion to popu-
lation equaled that.
During the entire eight years of the
American Revolution 100000 soldiers
served under Washington. Had they
all been in the army at once it would
only have matched the present French
mobilization but there were never
100000 soldiers in the Revolution at
one time-less than one person in
thirty of the population.
About one in twenty, counting militia
who never heard the whiz of a bull
let, was the best they did in the war
of 1872.
The war of Mexico required only one
in 200.
Mobilization in the Confederate
ier than in the Union states. The big
| geSt Union army in the field at one
time was about 1,050,OO0, or one out
of every twenty of the Northern popu-
lation.
The war with Spain called out only
one man from each 300 population.
Recently heard a member of the
Canadian parliament say that Canada
had raised 100000 troops for this war,
which makes the drain upon the Do
minion's manhood just half that in
France.
Were Russia to call out its fighting
strength, as France has done, the
czar's army would embrace 100000
soldiers.

marck, on another occasion, France is
being bled white."-Girard in Philadel-
