are a transparent as tubes of glass.

CHANCE FOR A GREAT STORY.

The sharp-featured man paused In
the doorway nnd the editor looked up.
"I suppose," said the stranger, "that
you are always ou the lookout for a
good story?" And without waiting
for a reply he rapidly crossed the
apartment and, seating himself at the
editor's elbow, assumed an easy at
titude. "Well?" said the editor, a little doubt
fully. "Did you ever hear of Tootsle Twit

much abruptness.
"No." said the editor. "Is It a comic
song?"
"No," snld the stranger, "It's a beau
tiful young woman, n young woman
of the stage, sir. A young woman
with a most Interesting story attached."
"Are you nn advance agent?" In
quired thu editor.
"Who, me?" cried the stranger.
"No, sir. I'm a friend, sir, n friend
of the lady nud a friend of the news
paper profession. Yes, sir. Miss
Twitters Is a perfect lady. She adopt
ed the stage ns a profession, because!
she had remarkable talent In that dr-3
rectlonj talent, sir. that hasn't been
fully appreciated as yet but will be,
sir, but will be."
"What's the lady's special line?" In
quired tho editor.
"She's lu tho second line now," re
plied tho stranger. "Hut she'll be In
the front row Just as soon as u some
what sluggish mnnagcr can learn to
distinguish between real merit and en
vious detraction,'"
"Well, what of It?" Inquired the
editor.
"I am gottlug to that." said the
stranger. "I'm coming to the story, sir.
Miss Twitters Is tho heiress to tho es
tate of tho late Col. Ponsonby-Snlckle-worth
of Uerks, Kngland. You've heard
of the colonel?"
"No," snld the editor.
"He left an estate vnlued at a million
pounds. Just make a note of It, please.
Pounds, not dollars."
"Oo ou," said the editor.
"All this Imiueusc estate goes to Miss
Twitters ou one condition," said the
strauger. "Mark the condition. She
must marry the eldest sou of the Huko
of Bubblcsquenb."
"That seems an easy one," sold the
editor.
"Not for Tootslo Twitters," snld tho
stronger, proudly. "She's a true Amer
ican girl. You can't buy her allegiance
with nuy paltry million pounds. Sho
will marry the duke on ono condition
only. He must become nu American
citizen, sir," The stranger paused and
smiled at the editor. "There," he said,
"you'vo got tho materials for n great
story. Work it up right, and trim It
with catchy headlines. "Tootsle Scorns

"You seem to take n remarkable In

editor.
"Correct," said the stranger. Then he
stooped over the editor. "Fact I," hu
snld In n subdued voice. "Tootslo Is

WHERE CECIL RHODE8 8LEEP8.
Prospector Dun for Onld 1,000 fears
llefore Clirl.tlail I'.ra.
In the heart of the Mntoppo Hills, In
South Africa, among which Cecil
Ithodes, the empire builder, sleeps the
last sleep, thero are many ruin which
appeal strongly to the Imagination. It
I dllhYtilt to realize, writes n cor
respondent, that the habitations, now
ruins, wero occupied by gold seekers so
long ago n 1000 It. C. When one thinks
of Itbodeslu It I Invariably of the great
possibilities which the future holds for
the country. Hut what of Ithodesla's
past? Three thousands years ago, pros
pectors as gold-hungry ns tho "green
est" prospector of to-dny scoured tlie
Matoppo and the surrounding country
for Uie precious metal. These crum
bling ruins once contained the furnaces
for the retorting mid smelting of the
gold. In many quarters huge excava
tions are found where the ancients dug
far down Into the bowels of the earth
In search of the metal. Several of these
mines are still the largest on the earth's
surface. The galleries arc caked with
layers of soot from the torches of the
workers. One historian estimates that
the ancient miners discovered million
of pounds' worth of gold In Ithodpsla.
These early emigrants are believed to
have been Phoenicians, who, as the Old
Testament show, were a great colon
izing people. Several writers have late
ly arisen to proclaim Ithodcsla as the
veritable land of Ophlr, "a laud teem
ing with gold and precious stones."
Hitherto Indln has been regnrded a
the Ophlr of the ancients, but savants

How to I toll an Umbrella.
"Why Is it," asked nn Inquisitive cus
tomer In a downtown umbrella store,
"that one can never rpll up nn umbrella
a compactly and neatly a It Is rolled
when he buy It?"
"You can If you only know how."
said the salesman, "but If cvcryliody
knew bow It would mean a less busi
ness for us. The umbrella would last
longer and there would be a lot less
work for the repairers.
"Perhaps I ought not to tell you
how," tho clerk continued, but It's so
simple you should know anyhow. If
you have noticed, nearly everybody
who rolls up an umbrella takei hold of
It by the handle nnd keeps twisting the
.. : ... ...... ....... ,
stick with one hand while he folds and
rolls with the other hand.
"Now. that's Just where the mistake
comes In. Instead of twisting with
handle, bo should take hold of It Just
above the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
around the stick. Keep hold of these,
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the cover. Holding the
ribs prevents them from getting twist
ed out of place or bending out of shape.
Then the sUk Is bound to Told evenly
and roll smooth and tight.

until It Is old enough to get rusty-looking
It will look ns If It had Just come
from the shop." Kansas City Star.
Will It Succeed?
Another experiment In the line of
community housekeeping H to be tried,
this time In a suburb of Rcrlln. A
large house, containing thirty room,
situated In extensive grounds of twenty
acres, has been rented by n community
of mutual acquaintances, among whom
are both mnrrled nnd single. A month
ly rent of from flftecft to twenty marks
will be levied for each room occupied.
The housekeeping will be In common,
nnd the kitchen also. One lady and one
gentleman will be elected to take
charge of all the concerns of the house.
These otUcers will be chnnged weekly.
A bill or rnro nnd nil other matters or
Interest connected with the establish
ment will be posted up In the hall. For
rood n dnlly charge or one mark will
be made. This charge Is so moderate
thnt It mny hnvo to be Increased Inter.
There will be a good library nud u com
mon drawing room, writing room,
working room nnd dining room. Ar
rangements nre also being made ror a
common playground and garden. The
community will consist at first of forty
persons, mostly engaged lu literary and
artistic pursuits.
Dangers of Celluloid.
Mnnufncturers of articles made of
celluloid should be compelled to stamp
plainly upon them the words "highly
Intlnmmable." The danger Is no Imag
inary one. A gentlemnn with n lighted
cigar In his mouth was playing upon nu
"American organ" furnished with cel
luloid keys. When some red hot ash
dropped upon the keys they Instantly
burst Into fumes and tlnme, which
could only bo extinguished with the
greatest dltllculty. A heated curling
Iron will rendlly stnrt tho evolution of
dense nnd highly Inflammable fumes It
brought In coutact with n celluloid
comb or hairpin. The proximity of a
unked light adds to the danger enor
mously, for the fumes or celluloid will
Ignite fiercely nt some considerable dis
tance rrom the tlnme.
