All's Fair <br />In Love. <br />By Constance D'Arcy Mackay. <br />Copyrighted, 1906, by P. C. Eastment <br />On the veranda of a trim cott <br />facing the sea Robert Aldrich, <br />fair haired and athlete, sat and gl <br />ered at Miss Hlldegarde Farney, w <br />the latter put up a small sunbrown <br />hand to hide a yawn. <br />The night before she bad driven <br />miles across country to the little to <br />of Brantly, where she had witne <br />a performance of strolling players <br />spiritedly as poor scenery and <br />tumes would allow, and she had <br />idly dilating to Aldrich on the act <br />of the piece, the too bombastic tra <br />dian, the amusingly ingenuous co <br />than and the little soubrette who 1 <br />ed like a piece of Dresden china. <br />dricli listened with a frown. <br />"I don't care If your aunt did eh <br />Bron you," he burst out. "What I <br />ject to 1s the fact that you went w <br />Percy Graham at all. Every <br />knows he's a cad." <br />"Bobby!" <br />"What right has he to come do <br />here and butt in like this? It j <br />shows what an Infernal bounder <br />1s!" <br />"He's only been here three day <br />murmured Miss Farney. <br />"Yet he's 'managed to monopol <br />most of them. See here, Hildegard <br />do you think you're playing the ga <br />square?" <br />"Square?" <br />"Before he came you'd almost pro <br />hsed to marry me." <br />"Almost, but not quite." <br />"Oh, Hlldegarde," Aldrich groan <br />"We've had such jolly times togeth <br />all summer, and now"— He groun <br />his heel against the porch rall. "Han <br />me if I can see his attractions! He <br />as stupid as an owl and as insignifi <br />cant as"— <br />"Robert!" <br />When Hlldegrade Farney spoke <br />that tone it was time to stop. But th <br />thought that was uppermost in bo <br />their minds, though unexpressed, wa <br />the fact that Percy Graham was th <br />owner of three millions. In these da <br />of large fortunes It was not an astoun <br />Ing sum, yet to Aldrich it loomed larg <br />as a mountain. He knew that Hild <br />garde was what he phrased "stralgh <br />stuff" and that this latest caprice 0 <br />hers might not last the week out. <br />Still, as even the faintest posslblll <br />of losing her gave his heart a ter <br />wrench, and since Hildegarde's aun <br />Miss Norris, looked on Percy Graha <br />with an eye of worldly wisdom as wel <br />as critical appraisement, it behoov <br />young Aldrich to see to his laurels, an <br />he knew it. <br />Percy Graham had money and <br />abnormal supply of cheek. Aldrich ha <br />brains and pluck and an income fro <br />his growing law practice of such pr <br />portions that he did not hesitate to as <br />Miss Farney to share it with him. <br />That Hlldegarde should really ca <br />for Percy Graham was an idea too pr <br />posterous to be countenanced. Bu <br />alas! There was no sure way of fol <br />lowing the labyrinths of the feminin <br />mind. Aldrich straightened suddenl <br />and looked at Hlldegarde. <br />"I was a beast just now," he sal <br />quickly. "What I said of Graham J <br />true, but it's not my business to ru <br />him down. If you want a good time <br />go ahead. Only—just remember once <br />in awhile what chums we've been, <br />won't you?" And Aldrich swung him- <br />self over the porch rail and smiled <br />back at her as he took his way to the <br />hotel farther down the beach where be <br />was spending his vacation. <br />As he walked he caught sight of Per- <br />cy Graham's automobile racing over <br />the smooth sand at the edge of the <br />surf line. As he had turned back to <br />look at Hlldegarde, so now he glanced <br />over his shoulder at the speeding car, <br />only in this case his lips opened, not to <br />smile, but to give vent to a volcanic <br />word of one syllable. <br />Two afternoons later as he went <br />briskly up the nasturtium bordered <br />path that led to Hlldegarde cottage <br />she hailed him from the porch where <br />she and Percy Graham were sitting. <br />"Why, Bobby," she cried, "where <br />have you been hermiting this perfect <br />age?" <br />"I've just been asking Miss Farney <br />about you," drawled Percy Graham. <br />Aldrich glared at him cheerfully. <br />"Thanks. Always glad to bave my <br />friends inquire. Ah, good afternoon, <br />Miss Norris," as Hildegarde's aunt ap- <br />peared in the doorway, while behind <br />her appeared the face of a pretty Irish <br />servant. Miss Norris looked unusually <br />perturbed. "That red haired boy from <br />the village grocery store has been <br />frightening Mary Ellen with abeurd <br />tales of a band of gypsies." <br />"Gypsies! Where?" Hildegarde's <br />face was alight with interest <br />"At the back of the pine woods," fal- <br />tered Mary Ellen. "'Tis kidnapers <br />they are, and 'tis at night they prowl, <br />Thomas says." <br />When did they come?" demanded <br />Hlldegarde. <br />Twee this morning the terrible <br />creatures pitched their tents. Thom- <br />as saw them." <br />"Trust Thomas for seeing anything <br />in a radius of twenty miles," sighed <br />'Miss Norris. "Oh, Hildegarde, you're <br />not going"— <br />"We're 811 going, aunty," cried Elide. <br />garde, "In Mr. Graham's car!' <br />Tis flying in the face of evil for- <br />tune they are," wailed Mary Ellen, <br />"and 'tis myself that will lock uz. all <br />the doors and sit close by Julia, the <br />cook, till they come back again." <br />The road through the gypsy camp <br />Icy through an undulating bit of conn. <br />may. Pines grew on either band, east <br />Ing a twilight gloom, deep, cool, im- <br />penetrable. Hidden brooks tinkled <br />over moss and pebbles. Bird songs <br />sounded through the stillness as clear- <br />ly sweet as silver flutes. <br />Suddenly a turn of the road brought <br />the gypsy camp into view, some three <br />or four tents pitched in a meadow <br />against a background of birch and fir. <br />In the foreground by a huge black <br />caldron sat a wegtther beaten hag, het <br />age <br />tall, <br />OW - <br />bile <br />ed <br />ten <br />wn <br />seed <br />as <br />Coe - <br />been <br />Ore <br />ge- <br />me <br />loo <br />ed <br />One <br />n <br />w <br />uat <br />he <br />s" <br />, <br />lze <br />e, <br />me <br />co- <br />ed. <br />er <br />d <br />g <br />'9 <br />in <br />e <br />th <br />e <br />ys <br />d- <br />e <br />e- <br />t <br />f <br />ty <br />rifle <br />t, <br />m <br />1 <br />ed <br />d <br />an <br />d <br />m <br />o - <br />k <br />re <br />e- <br />t <br />e <br />y <br />d <br />s <br />n <br />black mantle falling about her <br />witchlike folds, her piercing eyes <br />ing out from under a shag of gr <br />locks. <br />Other picturesque figures app <br />at the tent doors—a dark, somber 1 <br />Ing man smoking a long pipe and <br />comely Romany girls tinkling <br />metal chains and earrings. <br />"Fascinating!" whispered Miss <br />ney. <br />The weather beaten crone left <br />seat by the fire and hobbled forwa <br />Simultaneously Graham and Ald <br />tossed her a coin with which to cr <br />Miss Farney's hand. She picked <br />the money, looked at the givers n <br />rawly and then bent to her task. <br />"What a Romany reads had best <br />read alone," she muttered, with <br />twist of her thin lips. <br />Aldrich laughed. <br />I guess we can take a hint, <br />Graham?" he cried, and the two m <br />strolled toward the tents and wal <br />It was as mach as five minutes <br />Hlldegarde and her aunt joined th <br />Hlldegarde quite pale and Miss No <br />ith a furrow between her brows. <br />ave always said there was someth <br />eird about gypsies," said Miss N <br />ris, "and that old woman's knowled <br />actually uncanny." <br />As to what the fortune teller h <br />ad, Hlldegarde would say nothi <br />nd on the way home she was strap <br />silent. It was sunset when the m <br />r reached her door. The sea w <br />ted with rosy light,' and gulls we <br />overing inland. As Percy Grabs <br />elped her aunt up the steps wi <br />tentatious care Hlldegarde turned <br />drlch. <br />"Bobby," she breathed, "forgive m <br />here never was and never will <br />one but you." <br />Aldrich's hand closed over hers har <br />"Shall I bring round the car at 8 <br />d Percy Graham. <br />"Thanks, no. I have another enga <br />enc" said Hildegard° sweetly. <br />And the self satisfied owner of th <br />!Mons would have been amazed <br />e glance that flashed between Hild <br />rde and Robert Aldrich if he ha <br />en it. He would have been eve <br />ore amazed had he watched youn <br />drlch next morning riding off t <br />rd the gypsy camp at sunrise. <br />When he reached it, the old hag o <br />e day before was the first to catc <br />ht of him. She was busily stuffin <br />grizzled wig and a long black cloa <br />o a bulging suit case, but she lef <br />packing and went to meet him <br />oothing the folds of her blue serg <br />t. <br />Well," she questioned, "bow did J <br />me off?" <br />The best ever," beamed Aldrich. " <br />e over to thank you and bid yo <br />odby." <br />he old character actress laughed. <br />I thought my palm reading woul <br />the work.

The main difficulty with <br />the breeches buoy as heretofore con- <br />structed has been that at night when <br />it left the shore no one knew definite- <br />ly where it was, whether it had reach- <br />ed the wrecked ship or not or whether <br />any one had got in unless the mariners <br />had lights on the vessel. <br />John W. Dalton of Gloucester, known <br />to mariners all along the Massachu- <br />setts coast, 1s the inventor of the de- <br />vices which are known as "Dalton's <br />auto signal safety breeches buoy." The <br />IMPROVRD BRa8CH=8 nuOY. <br />Improvement in question comprises, <br />speaking In general terms, a small case <br />mounted on an inflated rubber cushion <br />and surrounded by four small hollow <br />posts which are affixed to the rubber <br />cushion buoy and on top to a square <br />steel spreader, as shown In the accom- <br />panying illustrations. In the case is a <br />storage battery that operates a set of <br />lamps. One light, a green one, shows <br />toward the shipwreck when the device <br />is started out to the vessel. The other <br />light, a white one, shows down through <br />the rubber cushion into the breeches, <br />enabling the shipwrecked people to nee <br />how to get into the apparatus. Anoth- <br />er white light shows toward the shore <br />until the breeches buoy 1s occupied, <br />when it automatically turns to a bright <br />red, going back to white again when <br />the passenger is landed. <br />tinder the old system when the <br />breeches buoy was sent out to a wreck <br />It was often hauled back to the shore <br />by the life savers before It had reached <br />its destination. Now the position of <br />the breeches buoy will always be <br />known to those on shore and on the <br />wreck. The green light moving toward <br />the vessel mutely tells the shipwreck- <br />ed passengers that help Is at hand and <br />encourages them to hold on until the <br />buoy reaches them. As soon as one of <br />the imperiled mariners gets into the <br />breeches the red light signals to those <br />on land to haul the passenger ashore. <br />Signaling is further provided for by a <br />rocket discharged by the same method <br />which shifts the lights In the buoy <br />signal box. <br />The cartridge signal rocket is placed <br />in the chamber in the overhead cush- <br />ion and is discharged In the air by the <br />same ' action which shows the red <br />light This is hardly needed, however, <br />as the lights operated by the storage <br />batteries are very powerful and can be <br />seen a long distance. <br />The rubber cushion prevents the oc- <br />cupant below from being injured by <br />the block striking him while being <br />dragged through the surf. Numbers of <br />persons have been severely injured <br />while being saved from a wreck by <br />the big iron traveler block as the ves- <br />sel lurched back and forth. <br />Not Gaining. Any, <br />Long division, a writer in the New <br />York Sun declares, is the Waterloo of <br />most of the middle aged women who <br />apply for city positions. One woman <br />took some time off from work to learn <br />how to do long division. The teacher <br />told her a million times, more or less, <br />that when the divisor would not go <br />into the dividend she must put a ci- <br />pher in the answer. <br />One day the teacher came along and <br />looked over her shoulder and saw four- <br />teen or fifteen ciphers 1n the result, <br />while the correct answer could not <br />have more than three figures In It. <br />The teacher was patient with her and <br />asked ber where she got all those <br />ciphers. <br />"Why," she said, looking slightly <br />worried, "you told me that when the <br />divisor wouldn't go to put down a <br />dpher, and it wouldn't go all these <br />times, and I haven't got to the end yet <br />and don't see as I'm gaining on it a <br />bit." <br />When Temperance Was a Crime. <br />"Temperance in India at the begin- <br />ning of the English occupation was a <br />crime," said a clergyman, "Medical <br />men, believed in those days that a <br />white man could not live in India <br />without drinking. They thought he <br />needed a half pint of whisky or its <br />equivalent every day, and they insist- <br />ed on his talking it. Temperance soci- <br />eties, total abstinence and the signing <br />of the pledge were things forbidden to <br />India Such things were thought in- <br />jurious to the white man's health out <br />there; hence to go in for them was to <br />be arrested, fined, imprisoned, banish- <br />ed. But today In India total absti- <br />nence Is encouraged, for 1t has been <br />found that the abstainer stands the <br />beat far better than does the man who <br />drinks."—Philadelphia Bulletin. <br />A 8abbatarian Dog, <br />"Tip was an Irish setter—his name <br />was really Tipperary and Tip for <br />short," said a New York clubman. <br />"He knew when it was Sunday, and he <br />kept the day. He was the only Sab- <br />i batarian dog I ever knew. He used <br />to sleep on a rug in my room. I had <br />to keep early hours in those days, and <br />every morning at 7 o'clock Tip would <br />put his cold nose against my face and <br />remind me that it was time to go to <br />work. Then while I was dressing he <br />would go to the village postoffice and <br />bring home the mall. On Sunday <br />morning he never stirred off his rug <br />Until I was good and ready to get up, <br />which was usually quite late,and noth- <br />ing could induce him to go to the post - <br />office on that day. And the best part <br />of the story is it is absolutely true."— <br />New York Tribune. <br />Coin From Alexander's Day. <br />In the side of an old well, where It <br />had Iain undisturbed for 2,200 years, <br />an earthenware jar containing 500 <br />pieces of the time of Alexander the <br />Great has been found, says the Scien- <br />title American. One hundred of these <br />were specimens of the silver tetra - <br />drachm of Alexander the Great, a coin <br />corresponding in weight to our half <br />dollar. The pieces are very thick and <br />are made of silver of great purity. <br />The obverse bears the head of Her- <br />cules in a lion's skin. The reverse <br />shows Zeus seated In a chair. All <br />bear the name of Alexander In Greek. <br />Monograms and mint marks of great <br />Interest were found on many pieces of <br />this lot, and some of the pieces bore <br />the Greek word for the mint marks, <br />designating the towns or cities where <br />they were struck. The coins are all in <br />very high relief, so that only two or <br />three\could be stacked together with- <br />out thele tumbling over. The find was <br />made at Luxor. <br />To Prevent Pneumonia. <br />The commissioner of health of the <br />city of Chicago has recommended that <br />open trailers be run on the street lines <br />of that city as a means of preventing <br />the spread of pneumonia and other dis- <br />eases, a fact which leads to the reflec- <br />tion that if people would live more in <br />the open air and less in overheated and <br />ill ventilated quarters pneumonia would <br />be much less prevalent than It is dur- <br />ing the fall and winter months, <br />Longest Lightning Conductor. <br />Bavaria boasts that it Dae the longest <br />lightning conductor in the world.

The ozone d1- <br />minishes and disappears, and the pres- <br />ence of this gas at any point is capa- <br />ble of giving data u to the purity of <br />the atmosphere. <br />Generally speaking, the air contains <br />about one part of ozone for 700,000 <br />parts of oxygen and nitrogen.

The device <br />may easily be detached and replaced <br />with a new one. It consists essential- <br />ly of a T shaped plate, which is hook- <br />ed over the front of the horseshoe and <br />is fastened at the heel by two small <br />bolts. <br />The plate comprises two members, <br />A and B respectively, the bar B <br />extending across the heel of the shoe <br />and the bar A reaching from the bar <br />B to the toe of the shoe. The bar <br />A is formed with a heavy toe calk, <br />and at Its forward end 111 provided <br />with a hook (E), which is slipped over <br />the toe of the shoe, fitting Into a recess <br />formed in the horseshoe. Between the <br />toe calk and the shoe a leather or rub- <br />•ORa21f0I PLATT <br />ber pad (D) is placed. The bar B is <br />provided at each end with a heavy <br />calk of angle form. Bolts seated to <br />the bar within these angles extend <br />through boles in the horseshoe and are <br />adapted to receive a pair of Rat nuts. <br />Between the heel calks and the shoe <br />a pair of leather or rubber pada (C) <br />are provided. Details are shown In <br />Figs. 2 and 3. The advantages claim- <br />ed for this horseshoe plate are that <br />it may be readily taken off by un- <br />screwing the nuts and be replaced <br />with a new plate, that it prevents <br />many unnecessary and harmful nail <br />holes in the hoof and that, as the <br />plates practically take up all the wear <br />from the roads, a well, fitting set of <br />horseshoe. will last for several years. <br />The rubber pads will cushion the shoes <br />and afford comfort to the horse when <br />traveling oa hard paved streets.

In <br />fashionable houses at first, and for <br />long, tea was drunk from a cup with• <br />out a handle brought from Chinn. The <br />vessel was termed a dish. When the <br />Chinese cup was first copied by Eng <br />lisp potters, the convenience of a Ilan, <br />die was added. The saucer also was <br />brought from China. It received the <br />name because of its resemblance to <br />the English saucer, a platter in which <br />sauce was served. The familiar gibe, <br />"saucer eyes," was originally inspired <br />by the sauce saucer long before Lord <br />Arlington gave the first tea party in <br />England In Arlington House, where <br />Buckingham palace stands, at the Res- <br />toration period.—London Chronicle. <br />Destructive Musio, <br />A member of the board of directors <br />of the Metropolitan Opera House tells <br />a story that he had from one of the <br />musicians attached to the orchestra <br />there.
