J. Henneberger is Growing. Few people in South Chicago know that the East Side has one of the largest zoological collections in the state of Illinois outside of the Field museum The collection of antique zoological specimens is owned by John J. Henneberger, 10114 Ewing avenue. Mr. Henneberger, who is in the painting and wall paper business, has spent many years on making his collection complete and never a week passes or. what he adds some new specimen to his list. A trip through his rooms yesterday revealed everything from a common, ordinary tooth to huge skeletons. When asked the value of his collection Mr. Henneberger said that he was unable to say just what 'it was worth but did say that some of his specimens would bring hundreds of dollars. During the last two years he has had several offers for the collection but so far he has refused them. Yhen asked if there was any possibility of his ever disposing of the specimens he said that he did not think so as he had spent too much time in getting it to sell it. Numerous visitors are calling at the Henneberger residence daily asking for a view of the collection and when not busy Mr. Henneberger takes no little delight in showing visitors through the entire collection, explaining every little detail and going into their history.

Ginderella's Mask. By ETHEL BARRINGTON. Copyrighted. 1903, by Associated Literary Press.

As the sound of sleigh bells broke the quiet of the room Miss Mercer clinched her teeth to keep back threatening tears. "I couldn't stand on that foot for one minute, let alone dance, she exclaimed to her younger sister's governess, who stood slira and silent before the fire. "I am truly sorry," the latter replied. "Jane said you sent for me to help you. What can I do? "Take my place in the minuet." "Oh, no no; I couldn't do that!" "You'll have to," groaned Miss Mer cer, with decision. Being fond of Au gusta Park, she treated the young "dependent with confidence and consideration beyond her position, but expected n return cheerful yielding to her own whims or comfort. "I'll write to Aunt Enid explaining the accident to my ankle and that you will take my place. so that the dance need not be abandoned. It's fortunate you played for some of the rehearsals and can wear my gown." . "I really cannot!" Genuine distress rang in the protest "The dancers are all your friends. I am not in society" "When I wanted you to play the other night you made no russ. Kegard t as an act of charity ir it Helps you, but go." Not to Mrs. Fltzray's. I won't enter her doors The invalid raised herself on her elbow, regarding in astonishment the flushed cheeks of the other girl. "That sounds as If you held some sort of crudce against aunty, and I doubt if you ever met her." Augusta shook her head. "Don't be a goose then." Miss Mercer shifted her cushions with a little moue of pain, 'Bring that low chair and let m talk to you. Now listen," she coaxed when her directions were obeyed. "It would be wickedly selfish not to save the situation. Aunty's masked ball has been looked forward to as one of the events of the season. Our minuet of 'holly and mistletoe' is to be the piece do re sistance. Aunty will never forgive me If I am the cause of Its being cut out." "It would be ridiculous for one In mv rjositlon to take part in it," ob jected the governess. Who will know or care so long as they get their fun?" "If it were only somewhere else. Augusta faltered, whereupon Miss Mercer turned the averted face toward her, holding it firmly by the chin to study the expression. . "Yon are keeping something back," she accused. "Be honest!- Oh It snot posslble" She half started up from the lounge, to drop back, breathing ouickly. "So you're the girl," she said. "You might have trusted me." "There was nothing to tell. I would not marry into a family where I was not wanted." "Morgan said he would choose his own wife, and my cousin is not one to change where his affections are concerned. Of course I now understand your refusal of my request, but you must reconsider the matter. No one can recognize you with a mask, and you can leave directly after the minuet. I'll mention no name, merely write my aunt that a friend has consented to substitute. She'll be too busy to be curious." Thus it happened that when the ball opened Augusta, a mere nobody, was among the envied debutantes who participated in the minuet. She was thrilled at being in the house of the man she loved and the possibility of learning how it had fared with him during the three years of silence that had buried their happy courtship. "When Morgan's parents had discov ered his attachment for an unknown college student bitter scenes had en sued, resulting in the young manleav ing Harvard to win Independent suecess in life. Augusta's pride forbade her correeponding with him, and after graduat ing she supported herself that her fa ther might be free to educate her sis ters. That the Mercers were related to the Fitzrays she had not discovered for some months, and after the first shock of the knowledge she decided to retain her position, there being only fd nal intercourse between the families and therefore small chance of her identity being discovered. The brilliantly Illumined ballroom WAS rrWOf1 whon fha olrrl-if rram couples swept into the center, the men In picturesque "square cuts" of green and scarlet, the girls in gauzy white, with frosty spangles and garlands of mistletoe. Augusta, relyinjr on her mask, entered into the dance with a grace and spirit that caused many of the spectators to single her out for favor. Rising from a deep courtesy, her eye was drawn to one of the guests who regarded her intently. Something in the broad-shoulders, the firmness of the chin, visible beneath the black mask, set her heart beating wildly thi3 to be followed by a sudden chill of the blood when she remembered that Morgan had a brother. Nervous with alarm, she never knew how she followed the Intricacies of the dance, though she must have acquitted herself well, since of the flowers that pelted the dancers at the end a generous share fell at her feet Then, Bilent among a laughing throng, she realized that her part in the festivities was at an end. Pride and duty demanded her withdrawal. "I have secured your trophies," anaounced some one at her side as she

reached the hall, and with a thrill of

joy she knew that Morgan had indeed returned. To leare before he had recognized her became of vital Importance. Yet how tear herself away when her whole heart was In a tumult f orchis presence? 'You will permit me," he begged, taking her card. "I'm sure the next is a waltz." Augusta, shaking her head, endeav ored to slip away. "You can't vanish so," he challenged, dropping his mask. "Will you follow suit or mu?t I wait the witching hour of 12 to solve the mystery?" "Mystery?" repeated Augusta in a curiously inufSed voice. 'But one girl dances like you." He bent over her eagerly. "Were It not impossible I should think" 'Thought at a masquerade!" Augus ta teased; but, knowing that he spoke of herself, she grew reckless and, despite the risk of delay, yielded to his plea for just one waltz. The first led naturally to a second. after which, because she could not single out Fltzray for favor, she permit ted others to fill her card. Many dances were "halved" among important partners, since about her hung the fascination of real mystery, which with most of the masks was but a pretense. Augusta drifted in the intoxication of the hour, forgetful of everything save her lover's presence. For supper he secured a tiny table to themselves. Strangely Interested in his compan ion, yet knowing his suspicions to be -wildly Improbable, he impatiently awaited the striking of the clock. As the first silvery chime rang through the room the guests, amid gay raillery, threw off their masks Augusta, casting one startled glance about her. sprang to her feet, then ig nominlously fled, like Cinderella of old, leaving Fitzray to stare at her empty chair. Reaching the hall a moment later, the young man caught a glimpse of vanishing drapery on the stairs. Imagining that the girl must return, he waited with the best grace he could muster, but at the sound of wheels outside he flung wide the hall door ju3t in time to see a carriage disappearing with all speed, while before the servants' gate lay a small object dark against the snow the silken mask that had baffled him. in the Mercers' schoolroom? next morning lessons dragged as never before and the pupil wasted no regrets when her governess was summoned to her sister's room. 'Say something," demanded that lady after having Informed Augusta that her cousin had been to see her, It seemed he had been so successful in business, winning such golden opin ions from his employer, that a partner ship was promised. "Uncle is so proud," she concluded, 'lie declares himself willing to receive Morgan's chosen wife. After which news I couldn't fib. It scarcely seemed to .your interest, and you'd better go down to him." Instead of following this advice Augusta dropped on her knees beside the lounge. "It's been so lonely I'm so happy,1 she whispered incoherently. "Morgan didn't look overstocked with patience," Miss Mercer warned as she pushed the girl gently away. "Come back directly he's gone," she com manded, and as the girl turned, with a smile, before closing the door her face was beautiful in its tremulous happiness. Left alone, Miss Mercer lay quite still, watching the hands of the clock slowly making the circle of the dial, "I wonder," she mused whimsically, "are fairies human enough to feel a wee bit lonely after they have brought the lovers together?" Saved the Vase. The little son of an English gentle man, in mischievously playing with a vase, managed after several attempts to get his hand through the narrow neck and was then unable to extricate it. For half an hour or more the whole family and one or two friends did their best to withdraw the fist of the young offender, but in vain. It was a very valuable vase, and the father was loath to break it. but the existing state of affairs could not continue for Uvw At lpnfrth nftm- n final nttpmnt to draw forth the hand of the victim. the father gave up his efforts In despair, but tried a last suggestion. "Open your hand!" he commanded the tearful young captive, "and then draw it forth." "I can't open it, father," declared the boy. "Can't?" demanded his father. "Whyr "I've got my penny in my hand," came the astounding reply. "Why, you young rascal," thundered his father, "drop it at once!" The penny rattled in the bottom of the vase and out came the hand. Some Famous Faces. Napoleon, with a face as if It had been modeled frotq a Greek cameo, was never, in Talleyrand's judgment at all events, quite a gentleman. lie gesticulated too much and was alto gether too violent for the correct taste of the great noble trained under the old regime. Terfectlon of body is not necessary, either, for many misshaped men have been dignified even when they were not, like the Due de Yen dome, princes of the lilies in days when that distinction meant so mttch Little men and wizened men have both inspired awe, for great soldiers trembled if Louis XIV. frowned, and ho man received without weakened knees a rebuke from "William III. The protruding nnderlip of the Ilapsbures has never detracted from their majes ty, and Victor Emmanuel, who. for all his good manners, always suggested to the onlooker a bull face to face with the matadore, was for all that every Inch a kins.

Ifs a long time untl' Nov. and generally speaking a politician nas to bacK up his argument with, a cigar or liquid refreshments accordng to the length of his disclosure, consequently they are playing a waiting game, but there'll be "doings" after the first gun is shot off.

There were no matters of importance discussed aslda from the recent taking1 of the polls. Routine mat ters were taken up and disposed of. President Manlove reported that his application to tho county commissioners for seven precincts in Gary Instead of one as formerly, was granted. Beware of Too Much Modesty. Alexander Campbell, a bank account ant of New York, did such splendid work that his employers raised his wages. Campbell Is a modest man. "I can't accept it," ho said; "I am not worth that much."
