little absurdities. Observe, for exam
pie, Mr.. Robert Ely walking up the
east side of Broadway with an unlight-
ed cigar in his mouth. An enviable
young man surely. He is tall, strong
and of a graceful carriage. He is
dressed in good style, with a dash of
individuality. He has a boyish, smooth
shaven face, with wide gray eyes and
an engaging frankness of expression.
Who would not wish to be Mr.. Ely?
But why does he keep on fumbling
with that matchbox after he should
long since have discovered that 1t is
empty? Why is it that neither his fin
gers nor his eyes convey any intelli-
gence to his brain?
A small boy takes note of Mr.. Ely
and offers him a box of wind matches.
Light, STRIP says the boy, and holds
up a sizzling match to show that the
brisk breeze cannot blow it out.
"Eh?" responds Mr.. Ely, looking
through the boy rather than at him.
YES"
In a large room on the ground floor
of a tall building an exhibition of the
Jennings automatic straw hat machine
is in progress. Mr.. Ely is interested
in this invention, but chiefly In the sale
of stock in a company formed to ex-
plot 1t. AS to whether the machine
will ever make straw hats for the
worlds wear Mr.. Ely is as much In
doubt as anybody else, but upon one
point he has no doubt whatever-un-
less the stock sells he is a ruined man.
Rather more than half Of every dollar
paid for the stock goes into Mr.. Ely's
pocket, and there are so many holes In
that pocket that it is very hard to fill.
Mr.. Ely has written the advertise
ments of the Jennings Automatic
Straw Hat Machine company which
have occupied pages in the Sunday pa
pers; he has arranged the present ex-

hibition; he is paying all the expenses
by a constant miracle of finance which
he himself would not attempt to ex-
plain. The early indications of success
have been good, and if nothing happens
Mr.. Ely will sail with a free wind out
of all his troubles. But there are so
many things that may happen.
For example, If the public should
learn that the machine can be run at
and must then be stopped until certain
parts of it have been cleaned there
would be IN end of the game. Mr.. Ely
did not know this himself when he en-
parked In the enterprise. He knew
that the first machines built by Invent
or Jennings had such a defect, but he
supposed that it could be remedied
easily. Mr.. Jennings had told him so,
but the changes made for that purpose
had proved entirely useless. The new
model clogged just as certainly and al
most as quickly as the old.
When Mr.. Ely entered the room
where the exhibition vas being given
there was q crowd in attendance. 1t
was the noon hour, when clerks and
statesmen have a little leisure. Among
them Mr.. Ely's shrewd eye perceived a
fair sprinkling of more important peo-
pie, and upon the whole re was well
satisfied. He did not scent the peril
which was at his very elbow as he
pushed his way through the crowd.
The exhibition was competitive. The
best machine existing up to the adj

~ stopped. And this forecast ruin.
Meanwhile Inventor Jennings had
withdrawn himself into the far parts
of New Jersey, where he had a ma
chine shop, and from that retreat he
sent rose colored dreams to Ely by
telegraph in response to Ely's strenu-
Gus appeals. But on the third morning
after the incident of Stendhall's bomb
shell and the sad calamity of the fire
Jennings appeared in Ely's private Of
fee just as that gentleman was open
ing his desk in preparation for the
frantic business of the day.
Jennings had the look of n who

There is something about the shock

yellow pumpkins, the stubble Of the
cut corn and wheat, even the blue
gray Of the November sky which bends
low like a b%enediction that speaks

The NeIahbor Within.

Why should we ever go abroad, even
across the way, to ask q neighbor's
advice? There is a nearer neighbor
within, who is necessarily telling Us
how we should behave. But we wait

some false. easier way.-Thoreau.

Twenty-four hours later the minister
of foreign affairs in Paris received the
card of Nine. Chapellier. He direct
ed that she he at once admitted.
"Well?" he said.
81 left the diplomat at his home far
from London with the treaty locked In
his safe. There is the key"
"And how much time do you think
we will gain?'
She handed him an item cut from a
newspaper stating that Sir Bradford
Chichester lad sent to London for men
to open his safe; that they had failed
and others more skillful had gone up.
He had off@ ed the latter $1,000 If they
would do the job In three hours.
"That viii do" said the minister.
"Our treaty $ on the way"
He drew her a check for $4,000
francs.
