Well, of course, that happened
which always happened when old
Heelzobut) gets us lo lend an ear for a
moment. Livingston temporized, hesi
tatedand fell. The fall occurred
along in the evening and with fatal
exactness he recollected having seen
a cost timer's shop with a sign "Open
Kvcnli gs." Ills feet carried him un
erringly to the place and he selected
a black domino nnd a mask. Very
soon he rolled up lo the place at
which the ball was held. In a cab,

aud in a trice was a part of the gay
and brilliant throng.
For an hour It made him fairly
dizzy. The masking of the women
seemed to make them more au
dacious In the display of their
charms and Livingston marveled
greatly at the Ingenuity with which
they had contrived to adopt costumes
so a3 to suggest to the full the grace
ful and alluring lines of their figures.
Some of the skirts were so high and
necks so low as to make the mask
the most considerable article of ap
parel. It was all very new and very In
teresting to the northern business
man, with his strict training and cor
rect life nnd he was deeply interested.
He was leaning against a pillar watch
ing the kaleidoscopic panorama,
when a tall and grateful figure. In a
most alluring domino of purple silk
of the richest texture, paused before
him and said:
"Why Blandest thou all the right in
moody contemplation, oh, most som
bre Knight?"
Startled, LIvlrgston straightened
himself and glanced at his questioner.
Her raven hair was caught up with
costly Jewels, her costume bespoke
a generous purse; her domino clung
about the lines of a figure of singular
perfection; her slippered feet and
daintily gloved hands bespoke the
aristocrat. "Still, who knows?"
thought Livingston. Summoning bis
wits he replied:
"A stranger in a strange land I
must be content to gaze from afar
upon the promised land."
"There are no strangers here to
night," said the woman. "All are
comrades and mends. Be not a
death's head at the feast, I conjure
you."
With wildly beating heart Living'
ston took the plunge. "If indeed
none here are strangers I claim you

He stepped forward and without a
word and without hesitation she took
his proffered arm. They walked
through the ribald crowd, she cling'
Ing close to him, he with his head

She spoke softly in the very voice
of love and glancing down at her
mnsk he siw the gleam of flashing
eyes, and was filled with strange and
powerful emotions. They passed
door within which were palms and
(lowers and rustic seats.
"Ixt us go In and sit down," he
said abruptly, and turned back.
She acquiesced with a silvery
laugh.
"I would see your face," be said,
us ht handed her to a teat With tht
words he tore off hla own mask.
She gazed for an Instant Into hla
cleancut, high-bred face and with a
graceful motion removed her own
mask.
The two gazed Marchlngl? at each
other for longer than atrlct propriety
would allow. He saw the most beau
tiful woman he ever bad looked upon,
with the white complexion, the lus
trous eyes, the long lashes, the full
red lips, the rich coloring and con
trasts of the daughter of the South.
She saw the strong features, the flash
ing blue eye, the clear complexion,
the blonde hair of the true northern
gentleman.
A flush suffused her features. Ia
an Instant his mind was made, as
decisively as In any business deal.
He tbrew discretion to the winds.
"I know cot who you are, but I
would fain have leave to pay you
my addresses yea, yet further, I
who have known you but a few mo
ments now and here declare my love.
I am no knave or fool, my name Is"
"No, no; I refuse to hear It," she
said, rising and Interrupting him, "for
I cannot make my Identity known,
nor will It be of any use to follow me.
I thank you and respect you for your
ardor and your frankness. I know
that you are a gentleman and knew It
when I accosted you. I may say that
I am not unworthy of your avowal
In any way. It pleased my fancy
to see If I could Inspire Just such an
avowal as you have made. I have
had my emotion, you have had yours.
Good-by."
And before he could speak or move
she had vanished through the door.
He pursued furiously and arrived at
the outer entrance Just In time to see
her Jump breathlessly Into an await
ing carriage, well attended by driver
and footman in livery, and be driven
rapidly away.
That was the end of the episode,
but many times as Charles Livingston
sits in his well appointed home,
watching his brown-hatred wife and
tow-headed children at work or play,
his mind turns back and he muses
wonderlngly. I
WITTE LOVED BROOKLYN MAID.
Russian Peace Envoy Lost His Heart
to Little Miss Bawo.
News has reached Brooklyn that M.
Witte, the Russian peace envoy, whose 1
triumph at Portsmouth did much to
redeem the czar's prestige, lost hla
heart on the trip across the Atlantic
to n very fair little daughter of Brook
lyn, according to the New York World.
M. Witte sailed some weeks ago on the
Kaiser Wllhelm II. Among his fellow
passengers were Carl Hawo of 214 8th
avenue, Brooklyn, and Mr. Bawo's. fam
ily. The youngest of this family was
Miss Aneita Bawo, a pretty brown
eyed girl of 4 summers, and it was
with Miss Aneita that the big Russian
diplomat fell in love.
He began to pay attention to the
wee Brooklynite immediately after the
ship left the Narrows, and one of the
sights that amused the passengers was
the big bearded representative of the
czar and the tiny maiden from Brook
lyn romping up and down the deck.
The delights of the smoking room had
no charm for M. Witte while Miss
Aneita was out of her berth.
Mr. Bawo, who Is a wealthy bric-a-brac
importer and manufacturer, and
Is combining with a pleasure trip
through Europe the business of In
specting his factories in Germany,
stopped at Bremen and there M. Witte
parted from his little American sweet
heart. Ills parting gift was a very pretty
Jeweled bonbon box, which the little
lady will regard as quite a treasure
when she grows up. Meanwhile she
s quite Inconsolable over the loss of
her big playmate.

I Question of Covered
X Feminine
4r4MMerrrrf
Of late the advanced women have
been getting some pretty hard raps.
Mr. Cleveland Is doing his best to de
prive them of the suffrage In this
world, and If certain religious critics
have their way they will never, never

the next and have their statues set
up In public places here below.
Can It be that the religious critics

referred to fear that women will be
Ineligible for office in heaven on the
ground of nonresldence? In the Mid
dle Ages the clergy were pretty firm
ly convinced that the softer sex was
under the direct patronage of the
father of sin, and it may be that this
conviction has not been entirely out
grown. Why else should a clergyman, a
short time ago, in rebuking the habit
that the women of his flock had fallen
Into of coming to church without hats,
have taken the ground that the tin
Covered feminine head was a fleshly
temptation to the men of the congre-J
gat Ion and have ignored the fact that
the hatted feminine head Inspires
worldly envy of the worst sort In oth
er women?
The Idea seems to be that the
man's soul Is delicately poised like
a butterfly on a blade of grass, ready
to glide gently Into the abyss upon
shining waves of hair or to soar
swiftly heaveuward upon the wings
of millinery.
"For." says the reverend critic, "a
woman's crowning glory is her hair,
and it has always been considered one
of her chief charms, to the care of
which she devoted much of her time
and upon which she relies for a part
of her attraction."
The Bare Head Slightly Damages the
Soul of Man, but the Hat De
vastates the Soul of
Woman."
The preacher went on to acknowl
edge that a gorgeous hat may attract
as much attention to a woman as an
uncovered head, but he said that in
that case the attraction would be of
a coldly esthetic nature and therefore
comparatively harmless, while with
the hatless head the fascination was
physical and personal.
Waving, shining locks, beautifully
arranged, are assumed to be a subtle
appeal to man's lower nature and
likely to rub some of the bloom off
his valuable soul, while the frightful
moral earthquakes which the con
templation of other women's hats in
church produces in the soul of a
woman are ignored, or perhaps not

Churchgoers.
Those who are elegantly hatted are
tainted with pride, vainglory aid hy
pocrisy, while the meanly hatted
women are afflicted with envy, hatred
and all uncharttablenesa. 8t. Paul
came to the conclusion that It was
as well not to take any chances with
women, and he thought It much safer
to extinguish them at church In the
shamefacedness and sobriety of a veil.
On the principal that a thing half
concealed and half revealed Is more
seductive than a full revelation, It's
pretty safe to say that the soft waves
about the forehead and" temples and
the delicious little curls at the nape
of the neck, which all show below the
hat, have snared more souls than all
the uncovered heads will ever have
to their credit. New York Sun.
B0TTLE3 THAT GIVE WARNING
Of Strange Make, They Are Intended
to Hold Poison.
After five years of a lull, there Is
again an agitation In this country and
abroad to have nil liquid poisons kept
In bottles made in such a fashion that
the moment any one picks one of
them up the dangerous contents will
be revealed by the warning sense of
touch. This agitation has resulted
from the growing number of cases In
which persons have gotten up at
night and mistakenly have drunk
some poison under the Idea they were
taking medicine.
One of the "best sellers" among
specially prepared forms of poison
bottles In this country is a round one
of dark blue glass, the entire surface
of which Is covered with diamond
shaped projections. These are no
Latest Improvements In Bottles Con
taining Poisons. Designs Copy
right. sharply pointed that any one catching
the bottle up In the dark will be re
minded of the fact unmistakably.
A form of glass stopper made to
prevent accidents of this sort has Its
top armed nil around with long
needle-like projections, which, on be
ing grasped even by a would-be sui
cide, would probably cause hlra to
change his mind. Still another poi
son bottle was the bowl blown in the
form of a death's head, the grisly out
lints being so distinct that even the
darkness does not conceal Its deadly
suggestion from the touch.
Over in England the number of sud-
den deaths from poison taken by mis
take has Induced the London Dally
Mall to Invite patentees of poison bot
tles to send In suggestions or illustra
tions for such things. The result has
been four designs, one much like the
diamond pointed bottle In use In this
country, while another is shaped like
the projectiles used In modern rifled
cannon. The point of this device Is
that the bottle can only stand upside
down, and this in Itself, the Inventor
believes. Is sufficient warning of Its
dangerous contents.
Another bottle has two necks In
stead of one, both of which are so
constructed that without removing
one cork nnd loosening the other the
contents of the bottle cannot be pour
ed out. This device involves the ap
plication of a flmple problem In atmo
spheric pressure, but the two necks
alone would be sufficient to distin
guish this vessel from all others.
Still another device is a square or
rectangular bottle, to which a curved
neck Is fitted. To pour the poison
from this bottle would require almost
as much effort as Bolvlng a "Pigs In
the Clover" puzzle. New York Press.

MUCH UNKNOWN LAND
VAST PORTION OF THt EARTH'S
SURFACE UNEXPLORED.
Around the Two Poles Lie Continent
Awaiting the Tread of the Surveyor
Mission ef Capt. Amundsen May
Be Accomplished.
Of an estimated land area of the
earth of 142,000,000 square miles, 20,
000,000 square miles are entirely un
explored, and one-half of this un
known surface lies around the two
Poles, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
After many centuries of geographical
progress, one-seventh of the estimat
ed land surface Of the world remains
hidden from knowledge. Around the
North Pole almost 3,000,000 square
miles of area Is yet to be surveyed,
aud at the South Pole lies a continent
more than twice the size of Europe
awaiting exploration.
Not only are the terrestrial poles
awaiting the adventurer, but the even
more important magnetic poies, of
which there are also two, are not yet
accurately charted. Koss discovered
the north magnetic pole In 1831, but
his instruments were primitive com
pared with those now made, and the
knowledge of magnetism seventy-five
years ago did not equnl that of to-day.
Koss may have discovered the north
magnetic pole, and he may not have
done so. Cnpt. Amundsen left Nor
way on an expedition two years ago
to rediscover it and to accurately
chart this important spot. A few
months ago word was received that
the intrepid Norwegian had accom
plished his purpose, but the report
awaits confirmation. So far as the
south magnetic pole is concerned, it
has never heen reached. As yet no
explorer has held a magnetic needle
over the spot, although Borchgrevink
In 1S98, in the Southern Cross expedi
tion, claimed to have determined its
location. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who
was a member of the Belglca An
tarctic expedition, says that no fewer
than six positions are assigned by
j w m P- Br)
experts to the south magnetic pole,
and these are from 100 to 500 miles
apart.
A Tall Story.
Any one would suppose that there
must be some eagle blood In Mrs.
George Earle's flying hen, says a dis
patch from Middletown, N. Y. Mrs.
Earle lives at Parliaman's Corners,
and has a lot of chickens, the only re
markable one being the flying ben.
The hen Is ostensibly a cross be
tween a Leghorn and a Domlnlck, but
hasn't the qualities of either breed.
Some time ago the hen decided to set
and built a nest of sticks and grass
in the very top of a tall tree. She
flew back and forth from tree top to
the ground like a crow, carrying the.
material for the rest in her mouth.
In the course of this time she filled
the nest with eggs, and has hatched
out thirteen chickens, which she
brought safely to the ground without
assistance.
A Plant Within a Plant.
At Brookdale, Santa Cruz county,
Cel., a fine specimen of the sequoia,
or redwood tree, was blown over in a
recent storm. The tree is estimated
to be over 330 years old. Ten feet
from the top of the tree, and at a dis
tance of 165 foot from the ground,
was found a hole somewhat less than
two feet deep. It had once been the
nest of a woodpecker. In this hole
had grown a sturdy, three-stall-led
huckleberry bush, two feet tail. Its
roots, extending six feet Into the
heart of the tree, h'ad absorbed the
sap of the redwood. The huckleberry
had flourished and borne fruit.
