That the false judge's daughter, the reigning peaunty in the fashionable life of of strong dishonest men, fight- ing each other in a war of dol- lars, evidences the romantic possibilities of the narrative. This is a story of today's America, a fact story torn out of life's book, dealing with the most vital issues that confront every one of us. Romance and humor vie with stirring action for su- fascinating novel, which teaches that the path of daty is the path to Jove and happiness and that in success, nobly won, lie re- wards of greater and more last- ing value than in a triumph ig- nobly and more easily gained.

His eighteen years of active newspaper work In a career extending from cub reporterhood to his present important office had drilled into him the necessity, even the habit, of constant action, quick thought, keen and accurate per- ception and readiness for emergencies. He hastily threw off his coat, glanced at several papers laid on his desk while he was out at dinner and seated himself in his managerial chair. He wrote a few rapid words on a pad of paper at his right hand as he pushed a button with his left to summon an office boy. "Any one here while I was gone? McHenry queried sharply as the boy entered.

He took the proofs from Moore's hand and, pegan looking them over. They contained important articles which had been set up, but which he had not previously seen.

McHenry | asked suddenly, raising his head to | the city editor. | "The Sarrup divorce is up in. | Two new corespondents named." He | pointed them out among the photos. McHenry drew a few lines on one of the photos and rang for the boy. | "Bring me an artist, Durkin," he or | dered. The artist soon appeared. | "Here," spoke up the managing ed- | itor, "take these corespondents and run 'em with the two you had yester- day, but fix those up different. Put a hat on one and the other in low neck, and put Sarrup himself in the middle with a dado of hearts around." Mec- Henry changed his mind. "No; make | it a big question mark of cupids and the caption 'Which of These Women Does This Man Love? Yes, and frame | in his wife too. Three columns." "Yes, sir," respond the artist, | starting away with the pbotos. But McHenry called him back. "Hey!" he cried. "Make that "Which | of These Beautiful Women Does This Man Love?

Where Women Ride Astride or Walk Behind Husbands, To see the Mayor and Corporation of London riding on donkeys would doubtless cause endless amusement, but this happens every day in Egypt. There the donkey is the chief beast of burden. Every farmer bas at least two or three of them, {and when he rides te his fields he irides with his friends on donkeys. He does not use a proper saddle, but has a couple of, sacks strapped over the animal's, back. No reins are used, and stirrups are never thought of. The donkeys are sometimes used in a most brutal fashion, for their riders guide them with & stick, hit- ting them on the left side of the head when they want them to go to the right, and vice versa. If the donkeys are not going fast enough some riders rub the rough end of a stick along tH§lspine or prick them behind the neck With a needle fixed into the stick they use for guiding. The Egyptian donkeys are usually much smaller than those used in England, but two men are often seen on one donkey. The writer has sev- eral times seen donkeys collapse and roll over as a second big man has mounted. Their legs often suffer through carrying heavy men when only a few months old. When Fgyptian women ride' the donkeys they sit astride, and. the young fellahah, or farmer's daugh- ter, can go at a great speed. Mos! of the older women, however, are either too poor to afford one or toe stout to balance on one. It is a common sight to see a mar riding on a donkey and his wif¢ trotting behind, barefooted, and carrying an infant in ker arms and a large basket on her head. Tht Egyptian farmer has no idea of wo men's rights. Besides carrying the farmer to and from his labor, thi donkey has to carry bundles of bir seem or clover from the flelds to the horses and buffaloes in the village: and towns, for grass and hay are al most unknown in Egypt. When the donkey is not being worked it is roped to a peg in the ground and its two front feet -are tied together, so that it cannot move more than two yards. It 1s the natives' despised friend. Parnell's Love Story. Of the several great political ro mances of the latter part of the nineteenth century there 'was non¢ that gripped the British people like the love story of, Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish leader. For nearly a quarter of a century this romance intrigue, or tragedy--for it is any or all of these according to the indi vidual view of the observer or readei of history--has been more or less ol an enigma. But the enigma is now solved by the publication of "Charle: Stewart Parnell; His Love Story and Political Life"! written by his widow, Katherine O'Shea. The story which aroused such vio- lent passions in the '80's stands forth in this book, nakedly revealed to the utmost detail. After having read it most people will find it diffi- cult to decide into which category the story falls--whether it is the ro mance of a great man who sacrificed everything for the love of a woman, an extraordinary intrigue in which politics and love were strangely mingled, or a tragedy of thwarted political ambitions. In «ny case, it is the history of a very remarkable couple, whose lives were closely in- terwoven with the stormy events of the beginning of the fight for home rule. A Remarkable Sequence. A strange fatality seems to be con- nected with the office of the Mayor of Uitenhage in South Africa. Fourteen gentlemen have occupied that. pes tion, and thirteen are dead. No ex- mayor save one has lived for more than a year or so aft . vacating the jy civic chair, and the extraordinary | thing is that twelve of the fourteen died on a Saturday and were buried on a Sunday. The late Mr. Ward passed away at Eea Point recently, on a Friday, and was therefore the only exception in this respect. But he, too, was the thirteenth out of the fourteen to be interred in Uiten- hage on a Sunday. This curious tathlity rather.got on the nerve of the late Mr. T. W. Mills, ML..A., while Mayor of Uitenhage, and it was his custom to close his game of bridge at midnight 'on Sat- urday with the pious remark: "Well, | { thank God there's another Saturday | safely over." He eventually retired | from the council, entered Parliament, contracted heart disease, died on a Saturday; and wgs buried on a Sun- day.~--Qudtshoorn Courant. are not opened without a good deal It would never ple upon what one may call "ordin- ary" occasions of national mis tune.
