"Tell you what, said Tergott. "let's fire twenty fhots apiece. Low score digs out and leaves a clear Seid to the other fellow. What ycu say?" Disbrow said nothing for a time. He was considering his friend's proposition. They were toth in love with Bell'? McXee. Though they had worked side by slue for a year, that fact had never been referred to before. Tergott was fair-haired and blueeyed. One looked at him ;md supposed Tergott to be frank and straightforward, whereas he was crafty and unreliable. Thin, dark, Disbrow was also belled by his looks. At first glance strangers thought him fly, whereas he was only shy. He had no genius of inventiveness or brilliancy but he had a rvay of carrying through what he began. The young men were mechanical draftsmen in a big western - plant. The superintendent thought they -were great. Tergott gave off bright ideas as a fire gives off sparks, but he could no; snare them with practicality. Working on a Tergott idea, Disbrow pegged away until the thing was done, to the glory of the superintendent among his superiors. They were a handy pair to have around. They were enthusiastic national guardsmen, and every Saturday halfholiday found them on the rifle range at practise. Just now they were lying on the thousand-yard point. Three-fifths of a mile away the thirty-six Inch bull's eye wavered In the heat mirage, a minute black speck that often seemed to wink out for a moment. The rivals were both derer riflemen; but Drisbrow was oft form to2ay. As he strained his eyes and Tergott Was Heartily Sick of the Contest. froze hl3 muscles at the moment of firing, a disquieting vision would float into his mind a vision of last night, when Tergott and pretty Belle McNee strolled down the street together as he came to call. A man cannot shoot well when a girl's eyes stare the bull's-eye out of countenance, and tendrills of soft brown hair twist themselves about his trigger ünger. Cupid knows all about arrows, but he 13 a' stranger to bullets. Tergott, the quick, had noted his friend's abstraction and poor marksmanship, guessed the reason, and so made his espochal proposition. He wanted Disbrow out of the way. He knew "oetter than Disbrow himself how deep an impression that youth had made on Belle McNee. He rolled over on his back and looked nonchalantly up at the sky, -while Disbrow was coming to a decision. A fierce anxiety was surging In the brain' behind his comely face. He was afraid Disbrow would not accept hi3 challenge; and he did not relish future months of rivalry. True to his nature, he wanted to hurry through the stress. Disbrow pondered silently. He did not attribtut? unworthiness to Tergott. He believed hi3 friend and rival had challenegd impulsively, never ireaming that Tergott was taking an unfair advantage of hl3 temporary lapse from form. He thought deeply. Pinally, as Tergott was almost ready to yell from sheer nervous suspense, he said: "I'll take you, Pob.H So the momentous match began. They fired alternately Tergott started brilliantly; his first four shots rere bull's-eyes. Disbrow, unsteady, gradually pulled himself together. He crept toward the "bull." The fifvh (hot was In the black. When half tho twenty shots Sad been fired, Tergott was heartily sick of the contest. He was still shooting rell. But Disbrow was better The gravity of the occasion sent abstraction flying and cleared his troubled brain. On the twelfth shot Tergott began to slip. It was not In him to go through to the end. Ob the fourteenth, he lost the lead. His twen tieth effort left him a margin of three points only against the last shot of

Grave of Amazon Uncovered

Camilla, the Amazon queen of the Volscians, has been purged of the suspicion that she was merely a poetic figment of Virgil's imagination by the discovery at Belmonte, by Professor Dall Osso, of the sepulchres of the two women warriors. The discovery was reported briefly by telegraph, but now further de;a'.ls are available of the women who fought and died eight centuries before the time of Christ. The district which is being excavated Is rich In relics of oM Etruria. and the existence of Amazons there is proved by the fact that tho two women whose remains have been discovered were buried in their panoply of war beneath their chariots in exactly the same way a3 the fighting men whose skeletons have been unearthed. The first Amazon tmb which tho professor opened was fifteen feet long, eieht feet wide, and ten feet deep. Th-- c rjinr'ot rvMch shrouded th- -')-.-: t--i- --r'-'-'entcu with tron? ttd :

barmquake j PHILLIPS Disbrow. A four would . beat him, and Disbrow had been getting fives steadily. Unless a miracle intervened, he was beaten. A miracle did intervene. Disbrow i choked down his breathing and the j beating of his heart. His aim was perfect. Rut just as his fir.ger squeezed the trigger, the sun-browned hills began to blur. The ground crept and trembled sickeningly. A baby earthquake was upon them. Disbrow tried instinctively to release his pressure on the trigger; but his brain could not get th? message tc his fingers quickly enough. Just pre viously it had flgnaled the muscles to j contract. As the 'quake joggled the j muzzle of his rifie off the target, they , did contract. The shot went wild. j The trembling was over in a few seconds. The frightened markers returned to the pit from which they had fled. In due time they signaled tc the pair lying pale and thoughtful on the firing line. Disbrow had lost by three points. He knew, and Tergott knew, that he had not lost fairly. The firing regulations do not intend that the riflemen shall buck earthquakes. Bui Tergott, the adroit, said quickly: "Too bad about that miss. The wind veered just before you fired Out you beat the earthquake." Disbrow looked at him curiously with a lonesome ache at his heart. A man is likely to feel bereft when h. has lost faith in a friend. Tergott took It for granted thai everything was settled. He began to talk regretfully of Disbrow's earlj departure from New Vista. Next day he wrote to Spokane and got hi3 rival a place with better pay. By subtle suggestion he set Disbrow's departure a scant two weeks ahead. Disbrow had lost a friend and a sweetheart, and the one hurt almost as much as the other. He tried to ease the latter wound by telling hlci self philosophically that Belle McXcn. had never really been his sweetheart They had been friends, and he had taken her to the beach and the the ater. But she was friendly with Tergott, and went to places with him, too. Disbrow had intended telling her, when he had $400 saved up that bs loved her. But that was all off now. He had made a bargain with 'Tergott, and was going through with it. That Tergott was not playing fairly did not release him from responsibility. The night before his golng-away day he went up to the little ilissiori street house where Belle McNce lived with her invalid mother. The girl was wholesomely, daintily sweet, and she managed to make the tiny, spotless home reflect her own character istlcs, despite the fact that she worked all day as bookkeeper in a depart ment store. They st on the porch and watched the stars. Belle did not talk much, and when she did it was with a queer flippancy that made Disbrow un comfortable. It wasn't an occasion! for flippancy. f It was 11 o'clock before he got ur. to go. They shook hands, the gir) with a few jesting words that grieved Disbrow. There was a hard little smile, on her face, as he could see by the rays of the electric light on the corner. His throat choked up; he could hardly get out the word "Good by." But he did, somehow. At the gate he jumped as If Fomo one had stuck a pin in him. For a voice was speaking to him, a strange broken, yearning little voice, half tears a voice that sent a million mad prickles along hi3 skin. "Tommy, it said, "I know. I 1 made him tell me. Tommy, you silly boy, you aren't going to let a little old earthquake beat you?" Tommy went bad: in three bounds and gathered her to him hungrily, while her arms went round his neck He kissed her hair and her wef cheeks and her lips as he said, over and over: "Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart! Not even an earthquake not even an earthquake!" Asking Too Much. "Minister Maura has given Spain the worst government she ever knew!" ex claimed -Pablo Iglesais, the fiery socialist leader.

ARE HIGH Women and Athletes Lead Other Students at University. Co-eds Rank 4 'Per Cent Higher Than Men and Average Work of Fraternity and Sorority Member Not Up to Standard. Champaign, 111. That athletes of the University of Illinois rank higher than the average young men students !n their class work is the interesting fact discovered by Professor T. A. Clark, dean of men, after reviewing an average of the grades of every student at the Champalgn-Urbana branch of the university. This same investigation shows that the co-eds J rank 4 per cent higher In their studies than men and further that the average work of the fraternity and sorority members is not quite up to the standtrd. To get this Information Dean Clark set a number of clerks at work. Each student's grades for both semesters was averaged according to the number of hours taken in the subjects. Thus a record of more than 3.700 students was obtained, an average in general made and then the special classes of students considered were compared with this general average. For the general average of the three thousand men students the figures were Sl.ll for the first semester and 81.31 for the second semester, or a general average of 81.21 for the year. The seven hundred or more co-eds averaged 86.04 the first semester and 85.02 the second semester, or 85.53 for the entire year. All the members of the football, baseball, track, swimming and basketball squads were counted In the list of athletes. The two hundred or more considered had an average of 82.74 for the first semester and 81.78 the second semester, or S2.26 for the year. The track squad had the high average of 83.07 for the year and the basketball players a low average. AnNEW VERSION OF CINDERELLA Wealthy New York Manufacturer Finds Stenographer's SlipperEngagement Announced. New York. The story of Cinderella, the shoe and the Prince has come true In New York City, with variations. Miss Mildred Mermelstein was anything but a Cinderella in her home in East One Hundred and Thirteenth! street. She was a bright., little stenographer. Nor was the slipper made of glass. It was a real American girl's slipper, tiny and elegant. The lover was not a prince, either, but a wealthy Ehoe manufacturer. He is Samuel Newman. On her way home In a Madison ayenue car the slipper slipped off Miss Mildred's foot. She didn't miss it until she put her silk-stockinged toes to the cold, hard pavement. .Ir. Newman saw the slipper on the car and hastened back, hoping to return it to Its owner, but Miss Mildred had limped away. Next day the "Prince" advertised for the maiden whom the slipper would fit. Miss Mildred answered. And, just as in the story, -too. the Prince found that the owner .of the ßllpper was fair to gaze upon and charming in her ways. That was two months ago. The announcement oC their engagement was made the other day. The slipper was a Xo. 2. Six Feet of Bronchitis. New York.

STRAY CATS FOR COLLECTOR

Railroad Men From All Along Lino Drop Decrepit Tabbies of All Kinds and Sizes. New York.

STATUE OF P,:TR

IN STUDY other interesting discovery is that the athletes did 4 rer cent better work the semester they were most actively engaged in athletics than during the semester in which they were not. An exception In this, however, was found in the baseball squad, which on account of numerous trips, as well as long practice periods, naturally fell down in their class work. Commenting on this, Dean Clark says: . "You can't quite say that an athlete necessarily breaks down in his college studies. This may be true of' other colleges, because I really think we look after things more carefully than they do at some institutions." Fraternity men were discovered to be slightly lower than the average young man's ranking.' and the literary society members much higher than the average. It was also discovered that the fraternity men who took the most interest in the general university affairs had the highest averages, and that the fraternity . men least interested in general college matters were the poorest fraternity students, thus disproving the general claim made by some fraternity men that they have too many other Interests besides their class work. The sorority young women, generally speaking, were found to compare in about the same proportion to the grand total as did the men. The local clubs and sororities showed i bout the same as the fraternities and sororities. With these figures as a basis It is probable the fraternity men will be asked to adopt a rule that pledgers must pass at least 12 hours of university work before they can be initiated. If they do not, the university authorities probably will. The sororities have already taken action In this matter. The figures further show that the fraternity men from larger cities, such ns from Chicago, arc the poorer scholars, and the same can also be said of some of the members chosen because of appearance and first impression. WHEAT PAYS Interesting Story of How New Yorker's Massachusetts Farm Raised Big Crop. Springfield, Mass. Although the wheat fields of the far west are generally supposed to be very large, the department of agriculture has issued an estimate that in states where the fields are the largest their size averages little more than 100 acres. New England has the smallest wheat fields, the average in Vermont being only three. That wheat is indigenous to the soil of Massachusetts la declared in the reports of the Massachusetts Agricultural college and that it can be .grown profitably in Berkshire county Is asserted by experts who have made an examination of the soil of the hill towns. A Lenox farmer, George W. Ferguson, has this year harvested 417 bushels of winter -wheat from ten and seven-tenths acres of land and sold the wheat in a Pittsfield market for $2.C0 a bushel. The wheat is to be used as seed wheat, so clean and perfect was the product. Mr. Ferguson has for 16 years manag?d Pine Croft farm, a typical country farm in Lenos owned by Frederick Augustus Schermerhorn of New York. Besides overseeing a farm of 33? acres, Mr. Ferguson has served Lenox as a selectman for several years and last year was chairman of the hoard. Pino Croft comes up to one's Idea of a country farm. It is not a cUy lot. such as Borne farms of Lenox millionaires become, but is the nearest to nature that its owner can make it. One of the few groves of primeval forests in western Massachusetts are on tiis property. Farmer Ferguson bepan raising wheat to feed his poultry because wheat was high. For several years he produced enough wheat for home consumption, using the straw for bedding purposes. Its return In value astonished him. He found it of a good profit and determined upon an experiment. On the ten acre lot grew sections of cjuack grass. He wanted to get rid rf "is growth and plowed the lot ar owed it entirely to buckwheat. This tions tho trainmen have hurried to Mr. Raker with the cats. He is now trying to find homes for his charges, bnt has discovered that many of the persons to whom he has applied for permission to leave a cat on trial would be as willing to have scarlet ' er in the house as such a pet.

The latter either never got them or did not think much of theirafter he di-1 get them, for lie has never written n uno in acknowledgment of Mr. Ilaker's kindness.

THE GREAT

' , i , j HE WAS HEIR TO MILLIONS Mystery of Daniel Sneridan's Disappearance Is Cleared Away After Many Years. London. The mystery of the disappearance of Daniel Sheridan, the American claimant of the "P.Iake Millions," has been solved at last It i3 some months since the Star printed a story about the pathetic struggle of this Irish-American farmer to obtain the fortune left by Mrs. Helen Blake, who died intestate in London, in 1876. Her property, then $700,000. has been In the hands of the crown ever since, and, counting the accumulated interest, is now estimated to be nearly $2,500,000. A letter just received by that newspaper from Daniel Sheridan's son, Joseph, who lives in Quincy, III., reveals the fact that an old, homeless, nameless man, who died In Lambeth Infirmary on December 19, 1896, was the lost claimant for the "millions." Mrs. Blake was Helen Sheridan, a beautiful Irish girl, when she was married to Capt. Robert Dudley Blake, a young officer of drcgoons stations In Dublin. He later became a general. Daniel Sher'.dan asserted he was Mrs. Blake's cousin, the son of her father's elder brother, and ho came to London to prosecute his claim from Kankakee county, Illinois, in 1S.S5, being then a man of seventy. Ho could not, however, obtain the necessary evidence to satisfy the treasury that he was the next of kin. His money dwindled away, he was heavily in debt for board and lodging, and all the while hi3 family were writing to him from America upon the idea that he had obtained the fortune and reproaching him for deserting them. For a time he was an inmate of a workhouse. On his discharge from there e wrote to his son that he was going to Ireland to hnd some one who knew him as a boy. That was the last his family eve? heard of him. He seems to have wandered about helpless, hopeless, r. broken man, until on December C, 1896, he was once more admitted to the Lamberth infirmarj. He gave no address, and three days later he d?ed. WELL IN EAST hardy grain successfully killed out the quack grass. Its heavy body shut out the sun from' the soil beneath its bulky growth and the foreign grass died from the want of sunshine. With the buckwheat well along last year Mr. Ferguson had It plowed under and fertilized the lot with some fertilizer left over from the spring planting. Possibly two tons of commercial fertilizer was used in preparing the field of over ten acres for red winter wheat, which was sown. From this experimental lot Mr. Ferguson ha3 just reaped a bumper crop of wheat Not only was the wheat perfect in head, every kernel being filled out, but the body of straw was excellent.

ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS Unmarried, and Contented Witnal, They Have "Mapped Out fcr Themselves a Picus City. There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every subject, from removing grease from carpets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time when a visiting Spin got up to make a few remarks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time coming. "Think of the day," she said, "when, having no husbands or children, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the family wants waiting on. The sniffling and snorting increased in volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence In financial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "But we must not take offense at what our sister has said," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know." This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet. Atchison Globe.

Now They Sleep Inside. George H. Beattie, jeweler in the old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor of the News, have jointly and severally decided that sleeping out In the open isn't all that it has been declared to be, says the Cleveland Leader. They were both in a deep snooze out at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned Into the lane leading up to the Beattie estate and came along at full speed. Sound asleep, bul dreaming of Impending danger, Ralston rolled out of his cot toward the north, and Beattie from his cot toward the south. The runaway horses dashed between the sleepers, oversetting everything In the way, but missing Beattie and Ralston by margins too narrow to be measured.' Since that night Ralston has slept in his town house and Beattie has found shelter under the ample roof of his house on his big plantation. To Settle an Estate.
