Business D rectory iwa it MB 1 FIT Y O U HOW A WAR WAS PREVENTED. gg.I.M.I...M Orlglnal. The essential features of this story constitute n notable newspaper seoop. One evening at n ball at the Gorman embassy at Paris M. de B.. n brilliant young Journalist then representing the London Times at the French capital, was standing looking on at the dan cers when n girl possessing a '1011101110 cast of countenance passed leaning on the arm of the German ambassador. Her eyes met those of De It., and. though she lowered them modestly. Btlll there was that in her expression which revealed to the young journalist that he had made an Impression. lie sought the ambassador and begged an introduction. It was granted, and De B. was presented to Marie von Ullen steln of Berlin, a niece of Prince Bis marck. Do B. met the frauleln often In so ciety, and at every meeting the mutu al pleasure appeared to bo greater than at the previous one. Within a few weeks he was encouraged to make her a proposition of marriage. She ac knowledged that she was greatly pleas ed with him, but that no definite an swer could be given without consulta tion with her family, and especially her uncle, the chancellor. "You think," she added, "that I am seizing upon a pretest, to put you off. To convince you to the contrary, I will confldo to you whnr this engrossing subject is. Our government, fearful that France, displaying such remark able recuperative powers, will soon grow strong enough to take revenge for the blow received In the late war. is about to pick a quarrel with the French, march on Paris and level it." The imparting of such a remarkable piece of news to him, .a Journalist, by a niece of the real ruler of Germany threw De It. Into a fearful state of doubt. What could it mean? lie soon left the frauleln, going to another apartment to think. Two Germans near him were talking together, and ho heard one of them mention the name of Marie von Ullensteln. where- upon the other added, "It is wild that " the chancellor Intrusts her with many delicate bits of diplomacy." The words did not reassure the lis-' tcner. He left the omhnrsv. went to his apartments and lay ir.vn!:e fill night thinking of hH Htrnnw iid-enture. What should he do? Whi'Mier the new the frauleln had given him w.-m true or false. It was his di'ty if. ;t Ficii-hman to Inipnrt it to the president of I'r.ince But this compelled the hp'rr.ynl of n confidence reposed In him by the glri he loved. After a ten lisle mental rl nig gle he sent the infominlI"ii to hi:; pa per. Its publication attracted cn'rUi-;--able attention for the lime Iielm:. then - . was dropped by the public an 11 ploceof , manufactured news. Do It. kept away from M-irle von l.'l lenstein. The day after the publico tlon of the news she had given him he heard that she had left Paris. One of two things was probable. Hither she had been recalled by her uncle to be punlsl'"d for revealing state secrets or she had manufactured the news to test him. As time passed and he heard nothing of Gorman preparation to In vade France he made up his mind that the latter hypothesis was correct. In either case Ills mental sufferings were almost unendurable, loving desperate ly, as he did. the girl whose cnnlldence he had violated. . . Then came an offer from a Paris pa per for him to act as Its nerlln corre spondent A burning desire to see Mario von Illlenstelu once more, even though she spurned him, decided him, und ho went to Berlin. It was not long before he met her In company. To his surprise she nodded to him and smiled. Her action convinced him that she had manufactured the news s-'he had given him and, finding him unworthy, had become indifferent to him. Eager to learn the truth, he took the first oppor tunity to join her. "Well," he said, "you saw that I re garded my duty Instead of my love." "Don't lot us talk of that," she re plied. "Your act did no harm." "No," he said gloomily. "There Is no harm In manufactured news." "Tho news was not manufactured. You did your duty. Why have yon not written mo?" "I? Write you after having reveal ed your secret?" "I expected you to reveal it. Indeed, I wished you to do so." "Why?" "If I had Intended the secret to bo kept, I would not havo Imparted it to you. Your duty to your country com pelled you to reveal It." "You used 1110 as a tool, then." "Yes." "And your consent to consider ,me n eultor was a part of your scheme." "It had nothing to do with my scheme." A Hood of Joyous relief welled up iu De It. "You have given mo ono confidence." he said. "If you are not displeased with me, give me another. Kxplaln." "I have at times," she replied, "been intrusted by my uncle with delicate diplomatic maneuvers, lie had been long worried by the war party who were determined to destroy France, thus antagonizing the civilized world. Finally they carried the day, and war was decided on. My uncle commis sioned me to go to Franco and let out tho secret, especially for England, ex pecting that power would Interfere. I chase you as my medium. As soon as tho news was published In England word was communicated by the Brit lsh minister here that If we attacked France we must also attack England. That settled (he matter." Later the betrothal of M. de It. and Murlo von Ullensteln was announced. WIN.SI.QW JSfN'tfl.NS. Two Magnificent Varieties That Bloom In Profusion. Two mngnUicent new varieties of sweet peas are described In Gardening as having the vcavy and fluted stand ards of tho Countess Spencer type, and the wavy wings arc so infolded over the keel that this Is almost hidden. Trials have proved that they come nb- gg... W1IITU Sl'ENCElt HWUET PEA. solutely true from the selected seed the one being pure white, the other a pronounced primrose or creamy yellow holding its own us to color with nnj of the so called yellow varieties anu surpassing them all In size of (lower, length of stem nnd vigor. The vigorous growth Is, In fact, a characteristic of these line varieties, tho vines being stout with heavy foli age, often growing twelve feet high and covered with dowers that retain their great size continuously through out the season. Small Fruits. Open winter days afford the oppor tunity for trimming the small fruits. Among raspberries remove the dead wood and cut the laterals back to 0 length of twelve Inches. This is sup posing that they have been cut In July to Induce branching. But if not the top third should be cut olT, says Iowa Homestead. The same method should bo followed In handling the blackberry rows. Those who are growing tender varieties have already trimmed and laid down for winter. But a great number of out readers are growing tho hardy Snyder, which does very well without protec tion. A very common cause of failure with currants Is to let the bushes get too thick, and the result is very small Jrult. In such cases half or two-thirds of the old wood should be cut away. Always select the oldest stalks to re move. The bushes should bo left open and only the most thrifty of the new shoots spared to take the place a year or two later of tho prer.cn t bearing wood. Follow the same plan with tho goose berry. Just a hint to the amateur grape grower: It Is better to trim the vines now than Inter in the season. Two main stems from one roct Is enough to leave to b trained up fan hajm. . . .... HAPPY MONTHS. An Odd Custom Observed In England at Christmas Time. "Happy mouths" is the name npplled to tho little mince pies made ut Christ mas time throughout England and served to any guests who may call nt the house during the holidays. The saying Is that for every one of these tiny pies one eats a happy month will come during the year, only the pies must be given to the one who eats them. When one calls at the house the little pies are brought forth with a glass ot wine or a cup of tea. and. howevei well sutlslicd one may already lie as regards one's appetite or how many ot these "happy mouth" pics lie has nl ready eaten. It is considered a marked breach of etiquette to refuse the little pie, although one Is allowed to take It homo and eat It later. This, however, Is not very often done, for who would refuse tho coming of n happy month by refusing to overtnx the stomach for just one more little pie? In some parts of England these little pies aro literally made by tho dozeu, so there will be plenty of them foe family and friends. They aro mnde of tho richest of puff paste, too, which, at tho best of times, Is an Indigestible goody, and tho crust is filled with a mluco meat lining that is oven richer than the crust. Suburban Life. CEYLON ELEPHANTS. The Only Species In Which the Males Have No Tusks. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be tho first view of a herd of African elephants all tuskers! It Is a singular thing that Ceylon, Is tho only part of tho world wh'cro iho male elephants have no tusks. They have miserable little grubbers project ing two or three Inches froii tho upper jaw and Inclining downward. Nothing produces either ivory or horn in tine specimens throughout Cey lon. Although some of tho buffaloes have tolerably tine heads, thoy will not bear a comparison with thoso of other countries. The horns of the na tive cattle aro not above four Inches iu length. The elk and tho spotted deer's ant lers aro small compared with deer of their size In India. This is the more singular as it is evident from tho geo logical formation that at some remote ported Ceylon was not an Island, but formed a portion of the mainland. It Is thought that there must be elements wauling in the Ceylon pasturage for tho formation of ivory.
