A COUP BY A TELEPHONE GIRL. i 'I' 'I' Original "Carl, this Is dreadful." "Calm yourself, Gretchen. Try to throw it off your mind. If you can't you will land in a lunatic asylum." 'But to think of Heinrich being put to death and he innocent of the crime! IIow can I throw that off my mind? We must find a way to get this new evidence before the court." "That Is impossible, sweetheart We have had the last rehearing of the case, and it is closed. Do try to make up your mind to bear it You will not only lose your reason, but make me lose mine. No judge or court can now help us to save your brother." "Could not the emperor?" "The emperor cannot interfere in law cases. Besides, it would be Impossible to get an audience with him." "Not on a matter of life and death?" "Unquestionably. Suppose every convicted prisoner or his friends could in terview the emperor about his case, lie would have no time for his legitimate duties. Besides, the courts have exclusive coutrol of such matters." He talked with her a long while, but failed to produce any effect Who suffers most, one whom the law punishes or those who love the offender? Trobably the latter. At last the lover went away, and Gretchen walked the floor In agony. Presently Marie Froibel, a friend of Gretchen's, came in. Marie was employed In the central office of the Berlin Telephone. She not only knew of Gretchen's trouble, but suffered from it herself. Carl, the condemned, and Marie had been school children together, and, although they had not spoken of love and no one suspected them of being 'lovers, still Marie hid a secret In her heart She alone knew that she loved Carl. But Bhe must not display her feelings a3 her sister did. "Marie," said Gretchen, "I must see the emperor. Carl says his majesty cannot help us if he would. I don't believe it. He has the power to do almost anything. I am sure be has a kind heart" Marie pondered. "It seems to me," she said presently, "that a woman's heart Is more susceptible to pity and would be easier influenced, especially when what is asked conflicts with duty." "But the emperor is not a woman." "The empress Is." "But has she the power" "Yes, to influence the emperor." "Well, but we cannot get an interview with her any more than with the emperor." "1 think possibly I may manage that" "You, a poor girl working for your living, get me an Interview with the greatest lady in the fatherland!" "Sometimes I have great power to secure the attention of great people." "What do you mean? Tell me quick!" "I have given you hope. Live on that for the present If I perfect a plan I will call you upon the telephone and give it to you. Stay at home, never go ing even for a minute where I can't reach you." Marie kissed her friend and went away. She had caught an idea. The question remained, Would she get an opportunity to work It out? There ; might be a penalty attached to what she proposed to do, but what was that compared with a chance to save the life of the man she loved. In a few days, when Gretchen was endeavoring to get her mind off the tragedy by doing some housework, there was a ring at the telephone. Taking up the receiver, she heard a woman's voice ask: "Is that you, baroness?" "You are" began Gretchen. "The empress." Gretchen trembled. "No, your majesty, I am not the baroness. I am only a poor girl whose brother has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit God has given me thi3 opportunity to ask you to help to save him. I beg that your majesty will implore the emperor to use his Influence to give me an opportunity to get the new proof that he is Innocent. Think, your majesty, how you would feel if one dear to you were about to be killed." "This is singular," said the voice of the empress as if to herself. Then: "Give me your brother's name, my poor girl, and I will see if I can do anything for you, though you must know that the courts are an entirely different part of the government from that which the emperor administers. But I am sorry for you and will help you if I can." Gretchen gave her brother's name, then thanked the empress, huug up the receiver and danced all around the room. But soon she began to be despondent again, though now that she had the empress' promise totry to help her she did not despair. The next day the. judge before whom the case had been tried received a summons to the palace. There an Interview occurred between him and the emperor, which resulted in a reopening of the case in question, and in the end the condemned man was acquitted. Marie Frcibel had succeeded in getting herself assigned to a field which comprised the empress' private line; then the first time the empress was called Marie connected her with Gretchen. Marie waited, expecting to receive her dismissal, but when a month had passed and nothing came nf it she concluded that since her offense concerned a matter of life and death her majesty had pardoned :t. When the prisoner was released there "was great rejoicing by two families, which ""is celebrated by a double wedding. HELEN INGLEHART.

African Natives' Drum Signals. All through the continent of Africa the natives have a very perfect system of signaling with drums, by which means they rap out messages from village to village, and it is quite wonderful how swiftly and how far they are able to spread news. The drumming is always done at night, when sound travels further, and as one lies awake on a still, clear night, the ear is often gently assailed by the low, musical roll from a drum in the village near, and one waits with pleasant expectancy till the answering echo comes, muffled by distance, from a village sometimes two miles away. Wide World Magazine. Giving Him a Hint. They were walking under a very little umbrella, and she liked it well enough not to want a large spread of alpaca. He was modest and seemed to be nervous, and she finally remarked, very softly, and with a note of Interrogation: "Charlie, I'll carry the umbrella, if ycu will let me?" "Oh, no! I can carry it." "Yes, CharHe, but. you see, your arm takes up so much room that one side of me is out in the wet." "I know, Fanny; but what will I do with my arm? Won't it be in the way all the same?" "I don't know, Charlie; Tom Clark always knows what to do with his arm when he is under an umbrella with Mary Martin." I" YOt DOST SEE IT IX THE OTHER PAPERS LOOK FOR IT I! THJH TIKES.

Hammond, Ind., Oct. 29, 1908. ASKED TO WATCH FOR HUSBY. Cleveland Woman Thlnka That Request Was the Limit. "I don't care what anybody asks me now," remarked the woman with the heavily upholstered velvet jacket. "I'll be prepared now for anything. Nothing would surprise me. Not after what the woman across the hall asked me yesterday. "It was after five o'clock, and I was busy getting dinner, for my husband s usually home by six. I guess the woman across the hall must have been figuring on having her dinner ready just on time, too. She knocked at the door, and when I asked her to come j out to the kitchen she says: 'O, no, I haven't time to stop only a moment. I Just wanted lo ask you if you would look out of your window and let me know when my husband gets off the car and then tell me so I can hurry my supper on the table. He's always in such a hurry when he gets home. You'll watch out for him, won't you, I dear? You know I can't see the car from our flat.' "And she was gone before I had time to catch my breath.
