He will be absent one week, during which time he will be heard in four or five states. The first stopping place will be Des Moines. In that city this afternoon he is scheduled to speak at the Iowa state fair on the subject of the tariff. Leaving the Iowa capital tonight, Mr. Bryan will proceed direct to Chicago.

The torpedo was mocred at a lighter and the target floated 120 feet to the south. The sun was bright over the " bay.' which was scarcely milled, making every detail plainly visible. The target tank was said by its con structors to be stronger than n sec.t-"u of a battleship. It was of three-quarter Inch iron, with three interior bulk heads. The metal was formerly a Standard Oil company tank at Chelsea and was a relic of the conflagration last April. This tank was fifteen feet high and ten feet In diameter. In the top a manhole was left open to relieve air pressure. Ballasted with forty tous of scrap b'on. the target was sub merged eleven and one-half feet. AVhen all was ready the assembled officers sought the protection of the sea worn bank, carrying a long rope with which to set the machiue going. Secretary Newberry and Commander Davis, in lenders from the dispatch boat Dolphin, watched the experiment from the water. 'AH ready, tire!" came the order. At the jerk of I la? rope there was vio- ent bubbling at the lighter's ntle.. Ou a straight line for the red tauk the torpedo bored its way. revealing its ourse by a wake of bubbles. This path of busy bubbles looked mysU rlous as it neared the red tank, which swayed on the lide. Suddenly the tank was enveloped in a great splash, and the manhole cover bounced from tin1 clattering iron. Then slowly Hie big tank sank down into the foamy water. Secretary Newberry and the inventor quickly assured themselves of t ho sue ressful outcome. Tbev saw for the first time that a projectile could be' ex: ploded within an armored shin.

The latter kept the books and each day set down op posite each account a sum that would have obtained board and lodgings for a week at a hotel not cursed or blessed by a bandit. " Appreciating the fact that much of his booty was keepsakes and heir looms, the bamiit was always ready to trade back his plunder for- the more convenient specie, and as the landlord insisted upon making good all losses there were no complaints. Iudeed. the guests rather eujoyel being held up. It gave them something to talk about when their visit was over. Many of the visitors by oft repeated telling so embroidered the accounts of their in dividual holdups that the tales would have offered good material for ma azines. But it was not until Olive Marc-hand came that the real sensa tion was sprung.. Until then the outlaw's taciturnity had leen his most pronounced char acteristic, but when the slip of n girl came rushing down the path from the springs to tell how Black Pete had not only held her up, but had de tained her in conversation for more than an hour, every woman in the hotel turned envious. The following afternoon the bnuks of the stream fed by the springs Were doited with wo men waiting to be captured and talkd to that they might share Miss Mar- chant's prestige.' l'ossibly it was for this reason that Miss Marcband, walking down the val ley instead of toward the springs, was confronted by a lithe figure above whose square cut -chin appeared a mask of Mack velvet that lent a deeper brilliance to a glittering gray eye. "I'm glad to See you this afternoon," was the greeting. "I rather thought I should find you here. The woods are too crowded above, and so I came down this way. I trust that you suffered no ill effects from the shock of our meet ing yesterday." "I rather enjoyed It," admitted Olive frankly. "I really think that the other women are envious." j Tete smiled at recollection of the goodly company he had passed ou his way down the trail. There was no question about it. -He motioned her to a seat on the fallen trunk of a tree and sat down beside her. The girl was an eager questioner, and presently he was reeling off stories of adventure with a dash that brought the glow of excitement to Miss Marchaud's eyes. To make it still more thrilling, there was a crashing sound among the trees, and without a word the outlaw swuug himself up into a tall pine just as the sheriff and his posse came tearing along. They paused long enough to warn the girl that Black Pete was supposed to be somewhere in her vicinity aipd that it would be well for her to return to the hotel by the trail instead of through the woods; then they hurried 011, and Fete swung himself down from his perch. "This is the easiest experience I ever had," he declared laughingly. "The sheriff trusts to numbers and hard rid ing, with the result that I have plenty of time to disappear w hen I hear him coming." 1 "It must lie terrible to feel that yon are a hunted thing," mused Olive, with a little shudder. -v "That's the joyous part," declared the outlaw. "I am not hunted when the pursuit Is in the hands of the sheriff. But let's' forget the sheriff," ho added. "I've told you all about my self. Now, turn about Is fair play." I "It would seem so tame after what you have told me," she demurred, but she was soon deep in her subject, and it was not until the afternoon shadows lengtheued that "at last she recalled herself anil hurried up the trail toward the hotel, where half a hundred disap pointed women were already gathered upon the porch. I There was not exactly an arrange ment to meet the following afternoon. but Black Fete had said that he would be over on "the branch," and she fouud him there in the late afternoon. This time he had removed his mask, dis closing a face in which, there was no hint of the depravity with which he was credited. It -was an houest. manly face, with frank, gray eyes and a tan gle of , crisp yellow curls above a smooth white brow. With the mask off, only two 4.73 swung on his hips suggested the bad man. - and whilo they talked Olive forgot that she was In company of a man who was ont- Olive was glad that the depredations were less plentiful, for these were largely responsible for her moments of self accusation. Finally, after one of his most brilliant feats, she at last de cided to go where she might try to for- jet that she had ever loved biui. AVith eves heavy with unshed tears she made her way to the little cave- where they frequently met. Here they would say good by. Pete had taught her to move so lightly that her foot falls scarcely were audible, and so it happened that she came upou two men talking in the shadows of a clump of pines without betraying her presence. H Her heart almost ceased to beat for the making of the hotel. It would V it be possible at short uoticeJo find any one who could be trusted-to rob the guests aud who had sufficient wool craft to escape capture. He was still seeking a uew argu ment to advance when a call from tlie underbrush caused both men to staiL Tete went bounding Into the thicket to confront Olive. - "So you've found out what a farce I am?" he cried. "And I act so glad," declared the girl. "I knew in my heart that you were worthy. Pete, can't we h.tve a honey moon here in the wooisi You can do the holdups in the morning, and I'll help. It will be such fun.'. Pete's eyes twinkled. Til - make Portm.m give me a week off," he cried, and then we'll resume operations at the old stand." "There will be an awful time with father." mused the girl, and I ote laughed again. "No trouble there," ho assured. "You Vee, Fin really Kobert Parkman. e have soma business deals ou together, so jse knows me. I'm only playing bandit because it promised more fuu than a' mere camping out trip." Olive gasped. She had heard of the eccentric millionaire. As Park man. took her in bis arm the sheriff went gallopiug past ou his way to join the posse in its afternoon jaunt after the outlaw. "You beat the sheriff," he declared, with a tender laugh. "You have cap turcd the outlaw for life." "It looks as though it were the other way about." corrected Olive demurely as she ghinced at the imprisoning arms. "My outlaw has captured me." Humor end Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH ALIKE FOR ALL a moment :is she realized that the two men were Pete and Port man, the pro prietor of the hotel. "You will have to do better than this," Portnian was saying. "You have only pulled off two holdups this week. It is getting too tame "for the guests." 1 know It," admitted Fete, "but I have been busj." "1 pay you for your time," was' Port man's angry retort. "Y'otj were to give me at least one holdup a day. My guests are disappointed if it doesn't happen, and you've got to earu your salary." "I'm tired of (he game," said Pete shortly. "Go get some one else to be your outlaw. I'm doue." "Now, don't get hot and throw up the job like that," urged Fortiuan. "You know I can't break in a uew man, right in the middle of a season. It would take him a month to learn the paths, and the sheriff would catch him the first thing aud spoil it nil. I didn't mean to be so short. I'll give you $10 more a month." "Do you think that if money was an object I'd he an outlaw for $30 a mouth?" demanded Pete. "No. Y'ou go get some one else on the job." Portmau's face was the picture of despair. His hired ,ouilaw had been Early French Theaters The French theater owes its Origiu to the religious exhibitions given by the nilcriuis on their return from ralestine. At these exhibitions the pil grims gave an account of the Holy Laud and recited their own adven tures. They were afterward imitated by those who had never been to the Holy Land. To these succeeded dra matic representations of subjects tak en from the new text, anil, being for bidden by the provost of Paris, the priests of France invited the king to le present at an exhibition to prove that they were- calculated to excite re ligious feeling The building in which those plays were produced was divided into three scaffoldings. The highest represented paradise, the second the world, and the lowest, which was in the form of a dragon's head, represented hell. The i-nly entrance to the two upper scaf foldings was through the dragon's head. The actors never left the stage, even to change their dress, ami the plays were so long as to require several days for their comnletion. At the e!ose of The world might be better If you had tlv say .
