A Jaded mind reveals Itself In queer little absurdities. Observe, for exam ple, Mr. Hubert Ely walklug up the east Bltlo of Broadway with an unllght ed cigar In his mouth. An enviable young man surely. He Is tall, strong, and of a graceful carriage. lie Is dressed In good style, with a dash of Individuality. . lie has a boyish, smooth shaven face, with wide gray eyes and an engaging frankness of expression. VTuo 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 It is empty? Why is it that neither his fin gers nor his eyes convey auy intelli gence to his brain? A small boy takes note of Mr. Ely and offers him a box of wind matches. "Light, sir?" stays 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." He gives the boy a dime and forgets the change. Then he puts the box and his own match safe Into his pocket and goes oa, his cigar still unlighted. In a large room on tho ground door of a tall building an exhibition of the Jennings automatic straw hat machine Is Iip progress. Mr. Ely is Interested In this Invention, hut chletly hi the sale of stock In a company formed to ex ploit it. As to whether the machine will over make strnw hats for the .world's 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. Ilather more than half of every dollar paid for tho 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 tho Sunday pa pers; ho has arranged the present ex hibition; he is paying 11 the expenses by a constant miracle of llnance which he himself would not attempt to ex plain, rXhe early Indications of success ,havo been good, and if nothing hap pens Air. wiy will sail wltn a rreo wind out of all his troubles. But ''there are so many things that may happen. For example, If tho public should learn that tho machine can bo run at high speed only about half an hour and must then be stopped until certain parts of It have been cleaned there would bo an end of the game, Mr. Ely did not know this himself when he em barked lu the enterprise. Ho knew that the first machines built by Invent or Jennings had such a defect, but ho supposed that It could bo remedied "inea wiiiTjTAms, wimiTou om.iok nu"- caslly, Mr. .Touuluga had told hint no, but the changes made for that pur pose had proved eiltl. ' ly useless. The new model clogged Just as certainly and almost as (illicitly as the old, Vheu Mr. Ely entered the room where tho exhibition was being given tlioro was u crowd In attendance, it was the noon lioifr. when clerks and juilesmeu liuve a little leisure. Among 'theuMr. jsiy'k shrewd eye perceived a fair sprlnkUug of move Jmpo'rtaiit poo. ,de, and upoi'i the whole ho was well iatlsflt.il. lie did jtot srent the peril which" was at Ids very elbow as he pushed his way through the crawd. jciaft ' n Story Teller ij .AJiai -tj -maa r I The exhibition was roiiipetltlvp. l'ha best machine existing up to the ad veul of the Illustrious Jennings (who was described lu the advertisements as Hie peer of Edison) had been set up beside the newer miracle of mechanics, ami It was working with steady, labori ous patience, under the guidance of a skilled hand. Meanwhile the Jennings automatic, tended only by a girl, was casting forth straw hats as a modern printing press disgorges newspapers, Mr. Ely hail never seen It run so fast, nnd he viewed It with considerable tin. oaslnesi, for he knew that something sensational would happen If It should clog while going at such a gait. Hut (he eye of Jennings was sharper than an eagle's, and, though ho' seemed to he wholly at his ease, he Was always on tho watch for tho danger signal. "Now, gentlemen," he was saying, "we will give you all a chmico to ex amine this mechanism to belter ad vantage titan Is possible while it Is being operated at high speed. Miss Williams, will you oblige mo" Miss Wllllnms "obliged." Despite her Innocent and girlish mien, she was an expert with the automatic, trained under the inventor's eye for many mouths. She knew as well as he did thut tho moment had come when the machine must be stopped or it would cut such capers as would sot the crowd howling. She smiled sweetly at Mr. Jennings and turned off tho power. The automatic came to rest. "Gentle as a lamb," said the lnvont or, patting tho Iron child of his brain, ns If moved by affection for It, but really to see how hot It was In vari ous places. "Now, gentlemen, I will remove certain parts so that you may understand how we get these remarka ble results." Mr. Ely meanwhile had passed be hind the machine and stooped beside the pile of plaited straw with which tho automatic was fed. It happened, then, that ho noted the unllghtcd cigar, and, kneeling there, he took out tho box of matches which the little peddler had sold to him. He was about to light one of them when his attention was stricken by a voice, ami he listen ed motionless. It was a squat, dark, oily skinned man who was speaking. Ely had a glimpse of his face through a wheel of the machine and recognized him-for a curb broker named Stendhnll, lu re gard to whom he had received a warn ing that the fellow might try to work an unfriendly game with the stock. "Mr. Jennings." said Stendhnll. "some or us are not satlsHed with tlds ex hibition. We would like to see a test of four hours' continuous operation four hours at least. We" But Ely heard no more. There was n ringing In his ears, with a dizziness that made him put a hand upon the, tloor to steady himself. The bare floor was cold to the touch, being made of slabs of stone. An Idea seemed to leap from the tips of Ely's lingers to his bralu. He cast a hasty glance over the pile of straw. No ouo was observ ing him. Ten seconds later he aroso with a lighted cigar between his lips. The Inextinguishable match was brisk ly sizzliug In the straw. Ely stepped behind Miss Williams, who had got down from her place at the machine, ne had no special Inter est In her, but she was the only wom an present, and he felt responsible for her safely. "Eire!" yelled somebody, and on tho Instant a beautiful spurt of llame leap ed straight for the vitals of the auto matic. Tliero was a wild rush for the doors, and Ely observed Stendhall, with his head down, butting his way to safety and roaring with paulo. Beyond a few scratches and the rend ing of garments no harm was done. Tho fire burned Itself out on 1ho stone tloor, and there was nothing for the Uremen to do when they arrived. After it was all over tho Inventor, pale with excitement, luld a hand on Ely's shoul der and stared Into his eyes. "By George, air!" said he. "You're the quickest man to think that ever I saw. You saved our bacon that time, sure." "Itow do you know 1 did It?" "Well," said tho Inventor, shivering nnd grinning, "I hope I've got as much faith in I'rovldence as auy Christian needs, but there's a limit, sir; there's a limit, This was no miracle no, sir!" "Speaking of miracles," rejoined Ely, "you've got forty-eight hours to ac complish oue. Wo can claim two days' delay on the ground of damage to our machine. At tho cud of that time tho automatic has got to run four hours at high speed or there's an end of us," "I'll do It!" cried the Inventor. "By George. I'll do Itl'J "I've heard that bofore," responded Ely. "Now, I want to seo It," It was after 1 o'clock when Ely en tered his private ottlco uud sank heavl ly Into his chair. His desk was closed. There were some letters upon tho leaf and on top uf them a sheet of paper bearing a- memorandum In pencil. This was tho usual summary of the situation prepared by Ely's right hand inn a, James McKulght, The total, .fD.OSTi, showed tho amount whleh'must be raised to meet these obligations. The Hlateinent was iwuully worse. Tomorrow, as McKulght had remark, ed, was an "easy day," Ely know, where ho could rulso $0,085, but what he did not know ami nevor had known and never expected to know was how long he could keep on doing It. Tho catastrophe must come some time It had never seemed so near. The stock of tho Jennings Autotuutlq Straw Hat Machine company had al ready begun to be dealt In on the curb and was quoted uround !!0. Mr. Steud. hall had been selling It "short" for sev eral days, and he redoubled lila efforts after tho open attack which ho hud made, but Ely, havlug raised boim? money by a stroke of geulua Ju the diq eouutlnu of airy and unaubatautla,! gaarawgi1.' T-'l-U f!-H notes, succcedea lu holding the price of the stock nt a very small decline. Hut rumors wine stalking abroad, ami the HClUat sale of the slock as a result of the previous advertising had very near ly stopped. Aud this forecasted ruin. Meanwhile Inventor Jennings had Withdrawn himself Into the far parts of New Jersey, where ho had a ma chine shop, and from tlmt retreat he sent rose colored dreams 16 Ely by telegraph In response to Ely's strenu ous appeals. But on the third morning lifter the Incident or Htcndhnll's bomb shell and the sud calamity of the lire Jennings appeared In Ely's private of lice Just as that gentleman was open ing his desk In preparation for the frantic business of the day. Jennings had the look of ouo who had wandered In tho wilderness with out food or shelter. Ho was unkempt and unshaven, and his clothes ached to be taken off. But his bloodshot eyes were starlngly awake, and his voice was an angry bark. "Look at thatl" ho cried, holding a newspaper toward Ely, who made no motion to take It, but merely Identified It with a glance. "Have yon seen It?" "I have," responded Ely. "Stendhall has a, pull with those people; not enough to make them print a fake, but "IV T3IIB IS TI1CE, DON'T WHISPEU IT TO VOOIt PlIiliOW." of considerable advantage when his news happens to bo true. The paper states thai our machine can't be run mbi-e than an hour at a time and that everybody who has bought our stock Is beautifully stuck. It also describes quite accurately the Interesting scene which that tire so fortunately inter rupted. It's a wonder that somebody didn't do it before, but Stendhall has evidently been holding It up his sleeve until he could get me where he want ed me. What do you think of the pros pect?" "Mr. Ely," said Jennings solemnly, "I think it couldn't lie belter." Ely steadied himself against the desk and looked the Inventor in the eyes. "You mean that you've solved the puzzle?" "That's what I've done," responded Jeuulngs. choking with a dry throat. "Give mo till tomorrow morning to put the new parts on that machine, and I'll run It faster than It's ever beep run before, and not four hours, but twenty four, if Stendhall will camp there aud watch It." "If this Is true," said Ely, "don't you whisper It to your pillow." "Pillow?" echoed Jeuulng9. "Do I look like a man acquainted with pil lows? But I'll make some or these other fellows '.o awake now,", and ho cast the newspaper wrathfully to the floor aud trod upon it. Ely had not the vanity of the In ventor aud was lu all respects a Juster man, so he felt no animosity against the newspaper, which had told nothtng but the truth. Nevertheless, as a mat ter of business, he served notice of a ult for damages as soon as he became convinced that Jennings really had per fected his machine. The editor lu question, alarmed, sent experts to the next exhibition of the automnlle, and they reported that while changes had probably been made lu the machine no proof could bo obtained, and It was now undoubtedly a vory valuable In vention. Whereupon tho damage suit was adjusted aud a fluttering retrac tion was made. As a result of all this Stendhall and his associates lost aud Ely's party won a considerable sum of money, tho price of the stock went to par and It sold freely. Meanwhile, however, a clique hislde a bank where Ely had largo discounts discovered that tho Jennings Automatic Straw Hat -Making Machine company was worth stealing, uud they laid a very clever trap, front which Ely escaped niter a nerve de stroying struggle, It was not until tho middle of December that ho knew whether his prollta and the control of (he company or Indeed tho coat oi his back aud the shoes ou his feet be. longed to him or to somebody else. Then the scale turned In his favor with 'bewildering suddenness, Ills foes Stood a round him, hat In hand, begging for small favors, and tho air was yel low with Iho glint of money. So Ely weut and goi some health. Ho had tho money, aud he bought It Just as he might have bought a hut. If hu hud not won ho would very likely have hrqkou down, but having won he cotdd afford tho prK'o of now set of nerves, -He m.n,do a very agreeable trip to tho West Indies and returned ton pounds liea,Yerund much Improved In Ipoks, "Jack, old boy," said ho after the briefest of greetings to his lieutenant, 'bring on the next trouble, and have it hot and strong. I'm ready to get back Into, the game." mnikA 2fmiu Or- 1! Aotiq Ily MARTHA M'CULLOCIWILLIAMS CoprHtdit, U, by !' P. Kiwfnir-iit 6 -- "Did you ever? That bonnet was old fashioned when Noah went Into the ark," Miss Althea Mvans said, noddlnu. town rtl the new girl In (he choir. Isabella Sliunge, her chum mid rival lu Eastwood society, giggled nnd an swered loud enough for the new girl to hour: "Vou ate shockingly Ignorant, I.t-ntliy. hoii't you know there are people Who take pride In their an tiques?" Involuntarily, Jt seemed, the now girl put her hand up to the plume which drooped to loiich innssc of bright wav ing lmlr. The plume was not draggled; nothing, Indeed, iibutil Hit lint showed a touch of wear. Hut It was nt least three seasons behind the style, also very becoming to the wearer. She was slim anil lull, with sherry wine eyes and a creamy, rose tinted complexion. Iu the lips the ro.ies burned to clear scarlet, and there was an adorable dim pie lurking at one side. Dark brows, delicately arched, gave an accent to the face, an accent, repeated by the gold lights of the abundant brown hair. Thus nature explained the situation. A girl who looked that way could afford to be old fashioned, and two other girls, enormously stylish, hut with no looks to boast, could not help but be 111 na tared, Benson, the choir leader, a thin man. perpetually scowling, but wholly through near sight, wheeled stlllly upon Althea and said: "The solo? Have you practiced It as you promised? Let's try It'llrst thing." Althea turned her back to him. "fig! Does he Ihlnk I mean to waste my singing?" she whispered loudly to Isa bella. Over her shoulder she added lan guidly: "Mr. Benson, I'll sing my solo Sunday after next. Some some friends of mine," significant emphasis on Ihe friends, "are coming specially to hear me. Until then you must make out wilh the rest." "As you will, Miss Evans," Benson said, a llu-di creeping up lo his sallow cheek. "Hut you proiuUeil. I depend ed on the promise. Aud II Is much to mo Hint tho music shall be even." "J dare say, but I shan't slug except when I feel like it," Althea said, with a touch of Insolence. Her father was head of the vestry, and she thought she knew Benson dared not re.-ont anything she might do. It took her breath lo have him say llriuly; "In that case you are quito use less. Music, a great glfl. u great bless ing, does not come without work. If you will not work unsparingly you will hinder rut her than help. Vou should work for your own Mike. Vou huvo voice, oh. yes, but It needs heart in it. Unless you grow to love the work you will never get the heart. Your sing ing will be what you say dumb! like a street plauu that oue may play with a crank." "Iteally, this -this Is beyond endur ance," Althea begun. Isabella laughed low and unpleasant ly and put her hand over Alt hen's lips. Then she cubed to the choir master, who had moved a little way off: "Why don't you try Miss Archer?" nodding toward the new girl. "I'm sure she looks musical she may be an artist." Miss Archer smiled daintily, saying: "Oh, thuuk you. I should like to sing. I love It and have been silent ever since I came-the walls are so thin at Mrs. Wray's, and I should so bate to disturb my one." . "You! What will you care for?" Ben sou asked, sealing himself at the small organ. The girl bent her head softly, saying: "Something old and simple. Something my mother sung, please Say 'Keck of Ages' or 'Curoniulou.' " "I'm going. 1 hate all that old rub bish," Althea said, marching toward the door. Isabella followed her, but paused, her bund on the knob, to say with a giggle, as though speaking to some one still iu the room: "You'd better put up a sign outside, 'Antiques to Be Seen and Heard Here!' " Then she ran down the step", laughing loudly, uud ns she overtook Althea caught her arm, shook her guyly and said: "I think we have settled Miss Archer. If she has any sense at nil she won't come ugulu after this." Whether or no Miss Archer had sense she-certainly had a voice. She also anil this was the crown of poor Ben sou's joy- knew mighly well how to use It. She was withal modest and biddable, giving hcwelf no airs what ever, albeit two Sundnys of her solos had sullleed to crowd the church. She kept much to herself aud, although frank and friendly enough, put by so cal opportunities as they caiqe, Mrs. Judge Gray called tho very first Sundny afternoon, a thing sho had uev or been known to do before. She ask ed Miss Archer to tea; also to dinner next week. But Miss Archer shook her head, She was iu Kustwoiiil for rest and must not let herself be beguiled, Besides, tilie hail a charming room, and I lie woods roundabout were soeiiclmut lug she hated to stay nut of them, She was very grateful, hut Mrs. Gray must excuse her. It was the same with all tho rest, Young or old round her. If they found her at all, Ihe soul of graclnusiipss, but elusive. She rode out every morning and drove every afternoon, always alone excepr for a stuld liveried groom. Tho oue thlug vulnerable about her was her clothe. Exquisite In choice, mnko, fit and material, they were all so very far from ImluK'lu fashion. There fore they bred theorhw. Nobody really knew more of Mls Anjtier than that sho had conie to the Wrny house with unimpeachable credentials from two ot lust season's star bonrdoiw. So there was some eu-uso for Hie romances woven about her. The favorite oue was that she had been either suddenly bereft of fortune or that she had In herited. a wardrobe and thriftily choso to wear It out unchunvred. The Urns lit made rather agulut llml. so much so that the bereft heiress potion was jno.it generally accepted. Mat MM Archer could certainly not Ifave lost ull her money. She was liberal lo u fuult In her expendllures and reckless lu the mutter of tips to her cuddle - Indeed, fn .-: . II ty fair-Ally. V.. fib er or no tli . had tendered lief- a service. Althen's !prci.-i friend were delayed! therefore she lit l.rn ilfh.veil her re turn to the chulr. She hail' no doubt wlmtcer Hint Hei!t would tube her. hutwIlh-Juudmg she nillulltod that she and Isabella had been foolish. "But how could we dream tlilug-i would turn out so?" Althea linked of Isnbollu, who lu tui-u queried; "Who would have thought Itenson could do without, you? And does he think he can keep on doing without you when they have the service of thanks?" "Of course he can't," Althea suld, til most tearfully, "because the thanks are mostly for Gousln Hob, aud everybody knows he won't care for anything ox ccpt to hear me slug," Cousin Hob was, understand, a lleil tenant lu the navy, for whose escape from typhoon and other perils East wood fell culled upon to give especial tliunks. Tliero were other Eastwood men, but they had not been mentioned Iu dispatches for cool and reckless brnvery. .Moreover, they had not been promoted. So, although they were In cluded In the roster, It was well under stood that Lleutenunt Hobert Sturliug was tho beginning and the end of things. Althea thrilled to think of herself singing to hltn, with the multitude hanging breathlessly upon her voice, there In the churcu, all bedfght with Hags and oaken boughs. Flowers were hold out of place for these hearts of oak. She knew sho should do her best. She must, with such Inspiration, So It was a thunderbolt to have Ben son say grimly: ".Miss Evans, there Is no place for you, I am sorry to say. Besides, Miss Archer slugs, oh, much, much better! Her notes are gold, vhore yours are scarcely silver. Tommy Bell has the only voice hers does not make thin and lln-panny. He shall sing with her lu the special opening anthem. I have myself arranged It. You might bo In a chorus later on, but you do net know enough. You would try to drown the rest with your big notes. There is the difference. Put Miss Archer in chorus, and she would sing exactly lu key." "You are an old boar!" said Althea nnd ran home to tell her mother, Before It came to tolling her plan was all upset, and by no less a person thau Miss Archer, who came swiftly to her and said a lot, but not In many words. The result was wiieu the serv ice of tliunks cnine on there were sev eral surprises, but. if truth must lie told, some severe disappointments, for Althea sung the solo and In the anthem, and Miss Archer was no more than a chorister. She subdued her voice ad mirably and kept In the background as much as she might, yet her name ran all about from lip to Up, so It was not perhaps through occult divination that Lieutenant Hobert Starling waited out side Hie choir loft stair, with ut least fifty of his enthusiastic townsmen hanging behind, to see the reason of his loitering. Verily, they hud their reward, for the lleutenunt caught both Miss Archer's hands and wrung them us though be would never let go. He spoke to her fiinilllurly, almost entreatlngly, and went away with her without a by your leave. "When they were safe lu the Wruy House he said, masterfully, "Eli nor, darling, tell me what Is behlud this masquerade?" "Oil, nothing much," Miss Elinor Archer Wesley, actress nnd gentlewo man, said, with a little laugh. "I wanted to rest, and people wouldn't let me alone, so 1 determined to play Princess (.'harming again for Just my self. All the costumes were perfectly fresh and perfectly beautiful If tho public didn't like them nor me lu them, so I've had the play the play that full ed five years ago on again all summer. You can't think how Interesting it's been, and it lias helped me oh, such a lot! Without It I never could have seen Just what your people were." "As If that muttered, as If anything mattered, except that we love each other," Lieutenant Starling said. "You do love me, Nora, darling?" "I ought not to.
