BEHI.IN, Nov. 24.—The emperor has
long past been interesting himself
keenly in the forthcoming Atlantic
yacht race, and. being distinctly of the
opinion that there is no time to be lost,
lie telegraphed to Lord Lonsdale on
Saturday to come over.
Lord Lonsdale, accompanied by Bar
on Speck von Sternburg, the German
ambassador to the United States, vis
lied the emperor at l’otsilaui for about
five hours yesterday. On returning he
sa id:
"IBs majesty, who looked exceeding
ly well, appreciated fully the difficul
ties which have arisen in connection
with flic giving of the cup, but most
thoroughly hopes that the two clubs
will conic to some sportsmanlike agree

hotii clubs to compete.

do so with the sentiments of a sports

“At the present moment the cable Is
working. I have sent a message to
the secretary of the Now York Yacht
club, who lias just sent me an answer
to tile effect that my communication
lias been received and will be consider
ed and that a reply will be given as
soon as possible.
“I am in hopes that the answer,
which I am momentarily expecting,
will solve all difficulties. I don’t think
it will be well to publish the terms of
what 1 have sent, which I hope will
result In a modus vlvendi.”
Lord Lonsdale wore an elaborate dia
mond scurfpin with a crown given him
by the kaiser, whose guest he was at
the Hotel Bristol.
As he was leaving Lord Lonsdale
said. "It Is Just ns well to say it was
today arranged that Baron Speck von
Sternburg, who returns to the United
States on Dec. 1, will take all the nec
essary papers as to conditions and ev

Scribner has the artistic tempera-|
nent. He is very proud of the tern- j
lerament. This is as bad as a small ;

me to make nasty remark to the jun

Scribner also has a typewriter. Al- i
iiough it is of the mechanical variety
ie speaks of it as “she” because it is
o contrary. That is another instance

rom a friend. None of the man’s
nernies would purchase it. so that ho

•hanged hands.
The other day it celebrated Its tenth
ilrthday by losing a screw. Eight
hues Scribner pushed the screw hack
nto the hole where the thread used
o he. The ninth time he took it off
lie table and headed for the nearest
mblie telephone station.
He telephoned the maker with some
cat to call for the machine.
Two hours later a small boy ap
jeared with a twin to the decrepit
type machine, done up in a black elolh.
“Take this dod gasied infernal ma
chine to the repair shop!” urged ticrib
lier. “Tell ’em to clean it and llx it
up.” Then he set out to butter his
daily bread with a love story. Scrib
ner was so glad to have a new ma bine
to work with be could have composed
a serial romance had there been the
ghost of a chance of selling it.
From the very start there was
trouble. Scribner opened the taie with
a hoydenish heroine swinging upon a
low-hanging apple bough. He had to
leave the lady up the tree while, with
prayer and fasting, he sought to dis
cover why the ribbon guide would tear
off every time he slid the carriage up
for a fresh line. ,,
In about 20 minutes he discovered
that one of the paper guides hung too
low and caught the ribbon guide. He
mended the machine with a tack ham
mer and helped the lady down from the
tree.
The villain came strolling through
the orchard. The machine caught the
infection of his villainy. Now the rib
bon guide feil^off at the end of the
lino instead of at tlic beginning. The
remedy was easy, for the tack hammer
was near.
The villain proceeded upon his crim
inal way and the hero was just spring
ing over tlic low fence inclosing the
orchard when the machine suddenly
decided.that twice as much naner was
needed at one end of the feed us at
the other. The hero defied the laws
of gravitation for half an hour until
Scribner found that by backing the
sheet with six others he could induce
a more even feed.
Then the hero lightly landed, and in
half a dozen strides confronted with
blazing eyes Jack Darnington, who
stood with uplifted arm above the
cowering form of Jessica Carew.
"Lay but a finger upon tills lady,”
cried the brave Harold Vane, “and
I'll—"
There was a whirring sound that
scared Scribner out of Ids seat. With
the aid of a wooden plug he managed
to make the spring stay wound up and
five minutes was all the time required.
The machine ran very evenly for
fully ten minutes. Jack Darnington,
with a muttered curse, had turned and
slunk away with the appropriate re
mark about his time coming in the
distant future. The brave Harold had
been prettily thanked by the grateful
Jessica, and had obtained permission
to escort her to the house. He was
strolling back down the lane when
suddenly Jack Darnington sprang
through the hedge. “Curse you!” he
cried.
His further comments upon the situ
ation were postponed atid Scribner
echoed the curse. Two letters had ap
parently raced tip to the paper togeth
er and were locked in deadly embrace.
Incidentally they were tangled up In

Politely ignoring the possibility of
Darningtou suing out a warrant for

" few hours and brought? the ben- it

He was on his knees in his bos:

Jessica was strangely moved—hut
the typewriter stuck.
The carriage' rode on nn oiled bar at
the back. This oil was old end gum

never had a chance to grow gummy
It took him lb minutes to find out
what the matter was and another five
to remedy the trouble and try to wash
the oil from his hands.
Then be proceet^d to get Harold ofi
his knees and made Jessica promise
to marry him in spite of his poverty
when who should burst into the room
but the rich Jack Darnlngton.
“See!” ho cried, exultlngly. “She

With a spring like an rn.-jgr1
tigress Jessica grasped the fatal paper
and held it up. In this she was . d.i. -
fshly copying tite machine. It had been
holding the paper up for the last three
lines, which liad been written i.w .
each other. Tite spring of tl>o paper
shift had broken and Scribner had
failed to see it.
He patched it up with a mill <-r hand
and Jessica, relievod from her strain*'d
position, was about to throw the cor -
sago into the tire, which burned bright
