was looked upon by all his friends as
a bad case of woman-shy No woman

fascination delicious to all women In

I had Just passed my thirty-second
birthday when my kind old dad sud-

1 had been getting ready fur such an
event that is I had grown accustomed
to hearing my father say: "Jim don't

am gone our business will run as it al-
ways has So I will work you Into my
directorships in those companies where
we have interests and gradually put
you Into my different trusteeships”
Thus at father's death there was not
a ripple in our affairs and none of tlie

Twice before way hack In our col-
lege days I had had a pep at this
gambling ti mj er of Hob's Once In a
inker game In our rooms when a
crowd of New York classmates tried
to run him out of a hand by the sheer
weight of coin And again at tin
I’equot house at New London on the
eve of a varsity boat race when a
Yale crowd shook a big wad of money
and taunts at 13ob until with a yell he
left his usually well-leaded feet and
frightened mo whose allowance was
dollars to Rob's cents at the sum total
of the bet cards he signed before he
cleared the room of Yale money nnd
came to with a white face streaming
with cold perspiration These events
had passed out of my memory as the
ordinary student breaks that any hot-
blooded youth is liable to make in like
circumstances As I looked at Rob
that day while he tried to tell me that
the business of Randolph & Randolph
would not he safe In Ills keeping I had
to admit to myself that I was puzzled
I had regarded my old college chum
not only as tho host mentally har-
nessed man I had ever met but I knew
lii m as the soul of honor that honor of
the old story books and 1 could not
credit his being tempted to Jeopardize
unfairly the rights of property of an
other Put It was habit with me tr
let Rob have his way and I did not
press him to come Into our firm as a
full partner
Five years later during which time
affairs business and sorlal had been
slipping along as well As either Rob
or 1 could have asked I was preparing
for another sit-down to show my chum
that the time had now come for him
to help me In earnest when a queer
thing happened — one of those unac-
countable Incidents that God some-
times sees fit to drop across the life-
paths of His children paths heretofore
as straight and far-ahead visible as
highways along which one has never
o look twice to see where lie Is trav-
eling one of those events that looked
at retrospectively are beyond all hu-
man understanding
It was a beautiful July Saturday
noon and Rob and 1 had just "packed
up" for the day preparatory to joining
Mrs Randolph on my yacht for a run
down to our place at Newport As we
stepped out of bis office one of the
clerks announced that a lady had come
in ami bad particularly uked to see
Mr Hrownlcy
"Who the deuce can she be coining
In at this time on Saturday just when
all n!ie nn-ti are in a rush to shake
i he beat and dirt of bii'dncrs for food
and tho good air or all outdoors?”
-row led Hull Then he said "dhow
her in”
Another minute and lie bad Ills an-
swer A lady entered
"Mr I'rownley ?” She wu’itcd an in-
stant to make sure lie was the Vir-
ginian Rob bowed

frankly Innocent they illuminated the
face of a blonde Madonna the next
seen through the extraordinary long
jet-black eyelashes underneath the
finely penciled black brows they ca-
ressed coquetted allured I afterward
found much of this girl's purely physi-
cal fascination lay in this strange
blending of English fairness with An-
dalusian tints though the abiding
quality of her charm was surely in an
exaltation of spirit of which she might
make the dullest conscious As she

FIVE FALL INTO QltAVE
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed
Solemnity of Funeral
Instead of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial of the
dead great excitement and fear at-
tended the burial the other day of
Michael Sereno a prominent merchant
of Vest port when by the collapsing
of a grave the coffin and several per-
sons attending the services were
hurled Into a small pit
'The final prayer had been said by
the preacher and tho assistant to the
undertaker stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin Into tho grave At that mo-
ment one of the pallbearers acci-
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coflln The coffin
quickly descended Into the grave the
body going feet first Tho assistant
hastened lt3 descent by tumbling on
It Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave causing the soil to
yield and In a few seconds five per-
sons were lying In the pit half covered
tflth dirt
They were pulled out the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed — N Y Press
DEATH IN A NEW GUISE
Once More "Perpetual Motion”
David Unlapon a full-blooded native
of the norther territory Austre 11a who
combines a genius for mathematics
with a passion for music claims to
have Invented a machine which' will
secure pcnietual motion He Is now
In Adelaide the capital of South Aus-
tralia seeking the means of testing
the feasibility of his mechanism He
explains that the forces which he pro-
poses to use are gravitation and mo-
mentum and he had to come to Ade-
laide to seek tho assistance of the ab-
orinlnes department in procuring four
beyidcd wheels a spindle a tube and
so on lie Is confident that when he
gets these requisites he can put to-
gether a machine which will bring
perpetual motion appreciably nearer
Scheme That Landed a Hungarian
Judje in Town Jail
In a little village on tho Hungarian
frontier not far from Pretbtirg a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen (?S3J from her husband in
America
She promptly deposited it in the
local branch of tlie postoffice savlncs
bank nnd then the next day went to
withdraw the whole amount
The bank official was somewhat sur-
prised nnd asked for an explanation
when sho said that Death had ap-
peared to her during the night and
threatened to take her away with him
unless she had the -M0 crowns ready
fo- him the next night
The gendarmes were communicated
with and when "Death” made his
promised appearance lie was found to
ho very much alive in the person of
the local Judge
The woman's money Is still In th
bank nnd the judge Is in jail— rail

Laundry work at tome would b
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used In order to get tha
desired stiffness it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that tha
beauty and fineness of tho fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness which not only destroys the
appearance but also affects the wear-
ing quality of tho goods This trou-
ble can be entirely oycrcome by using
Defiance Starch as it can be applied

Dr P F Simmons San Antonio Texas
Mr Dear Mir: — I have jint returned from Atascosa County where X
went for the tiurpo-e of investigating your 90 000-acre ranch proposition
I spent the 21st 22nd nnd 23rd of this February on the ranch and
during tlioe three days I drove not less than 125 miles and visited every
pasture on tho ranch 'and examined the property as thoroughly as it was '
possible to do within that time
I saw every artesian well on the ranch except the one In the ITall
pasture I waa near it and could have seen it by turning back but I had
already seen enough to satisfy nie and did not take the tune to go back
I took your booklet "New Home t-weet Home” with me and I compared
the pictures in it with what I saw and 1 found them absolutely correct
I drnnk water at all the wrlla I saw and the water was good for drink-
ing and all other purposes in all of them except the gas well 1 did not like
it very well but 1 have tasted a great deal worse water I am sure it i
good lor all stock nnd irrigation purposes I anw the cattle drink it and
they seem to T o thriving on it 1 put a match to the gaa well and it
began to burn at once
1 ara of tlie opinion that oil is to be found en this land Just off
of it thr-re is an oil well from which I procured a bottle of oil which 1
carried home with me
1 talked with Mr Brown the gentleman now employed in putting down
an artesian well en your land for yeu and he told me that he had been
drilling wells in that vicinity for tne last six years and that goad watef
caa be obtained at any place on the ranch from forty to two hundred
feet and that flowing wells can be obtained anywhere on the ranch at
depths ranging from three hundred feet up
The land is all as good as represented by you and lota of it much better
The Votaw pasture is the best ail piugiose land I ever saw
I shall recommend all of ray friends who want comfortable home la
the best climate in tlie world to purchase from yon
I am more thnn pleased with what I saw and aa you have laid" It la
the “Opportunity of a Lifetime” especially for the man with amall means
Wishing you suecesa in disposing of this land and furnishing homes
within the reach of the ordinary man I remain
Very truly voum
