A MODERN OLD STORY I I Original ) Elijah Cbubb. who wrote over the pseudonym of Lionel Malcolm, had been writing realistic stories wherein nothing happened, the humdrum of life went on as it really 1«. people marry ing and dying In the ordinary way. till be was wearied. He determined to try his hand at the old fashioned tale of complicated events. He realized that his story, though old In method, must be new in substance. Unfortunately he could not overcome literary habits that had controlled him for years. Here Is the result of his labor: An automobile, twenty horsepower and of the latest pattern, stood before the door of a stately mansion near the border line between New York and Pennsylvania. Within the bouse two people on the very threshold of life, a youth of eighteen in leather dress and a maiden of sixteen en princess«*, stood In a drawing room furnished in Louis Quatorze style. At the windows were curtains of rich renaissance lace. Over those hung heavy satin brocade, The girl was looking up timidly into the youth's face. “Luella,” he said, taking both her bands in his, "I have a confession to make.” "Make It,” she replied, with a shud der. “I am a married man.” She moaned a low, deep, melancholy moan. "I was married at eighteen, divorced in South Dakota at eighteen and six months, and my former wife lives In Pennsylvania. A suit for alimony has established the fact that the Pennsyl vania laws do not recognize the South Dakota divorce. I am free to wed yon here, In Pennsylvania my marriage would be bigamy.” Her bead fell on his shoulder. He raised her face and saw that she was weeping. Then she spoke: “I, too. Lawrence, have a confession to make. I was married at fifteen and only secured my divorce a month ago. as in your case. In Dakota. My hus band has contested the divorce in Pennsylvania, from which state we have but recently removed, and lost his suit. There I am free to marry again. But alas, be has followed me here, and my lawyer tells me that the New York laws make me still his wife.” She had no sooner spoken than there was a sharp ring at the telephone. Go Ing to the instrument, she took up the receiver and sai«l softly: “Hello!” After listening a few moments she dropped the receiver, staggering, when her lover caught her in bis arms. “Heavens!” slie cried. "It was my lawyer. He says that my divorced busbarxl has got an order for me to show cause for something or other and I must get out of the jurisdiction of the court What shall I do?’ "My automobile is at the door, Let us go at once.” As she passed through the ball «be took up a dust proof wrap and put on a pair of goggles, ns did her lover. Both jumped into the machine stand» ing at the door and sped away at twice the speed allowed by the city ordi nances. "Dearest,” he said, “why should lov ing hearts regard these conflicting laws? Let us be married and defy them.” Her head dropped upon bi« leather sleeve. Passing the rectory of St. James* church, he saw the rector coming down the steps. Drawing up at the side walk. the fugitive hastily asked him to perform the marriage ceremony. Law rence, turning his head anxiously, saw an automobile coming rapidly down the street. With a herculean effort he pulled the dominie into the machine and was off like the wind. "We are followed by an officer of the court,” he explained, “and cannot stop for marriage. Marry us as we go.” The dominie demurred to such an un usual proceeding, but after much per suasion consented and performed the ceremony. Scarcely bad he pronounced the couple mon and wife when Iziw- renc.-» ff :vc a groan. ■ "What is It ae« rem > «s,m »<• J —that is. If she was his wife. “We are beaded southward and have either passed or are passing or about to pose the Pennsylvania line.” "There my marriage la legal.” she oaM quickly. “And there I am a bigamist" "What shall we do?” "We cannot turn. We are followed too closely. The slightest curve would upset the machine. We must go on. Thank heaven, dearest, you will be free from these odious laws." "And you will be liable to arrest?" Far in the distance appeared a cloud of dust a cloud as large as a mun's land, which tbs fugitives supposed was nothing to them but a coming automo bile which they must pass by. keeping to the right as the law directs. Alas, how little we know what is in store for us' Just before meeting the coming machine I-awrence saw an opportunity to take a road to the left which curved and would euable him to go northward without upsetting. The automobile be hind bad gained perceptibly and waa close at hand. Lawrence swerved to the left, which was the right of the coming machine. The two met going at a rate of a mile a minute, and the machine coming from the north plung ed into the two wrecks. All were killed. The author sent this story out to the magazines with a note explaining that the complications rendered the death of all the characters inevitable. fcOPE HOPKINS. 1 THE THIRD HOUSE Legislative Annex of the Special In* tercets In Congress. The third house, as the lobby Is some times called. Is the legislative annex of the special interests.

If legislators were perfect, there would be no lobby. If they were per fectly wise, there would l>e no occa sion for the lobbyist who desires "to inform” them; If perfectly honest, there would be no occasion for the lobbyist who desires to “make It worth while;” ff perfectly patriotic, there would I* no occasion for the lobbyist who desires for himself "a little per sonal favor"—at the people's ex|s-nse The existence of a lobby Is premised on human frailty. It Is present to prey on human weakness, to warp the action of the legislative body by n(>- penl tn vanity. Ignorance, cupidity or fear.—Gilson Gardner In Success Mag- Emergency Foods.

He was exhibiting In Paris and waa about to cross the Seine on bis rope. Cham, the great caricaturist, had come to make a sketch. Blondin, recognizing him, at once invited him to cross with him. “With pleasure,” replied Cham, “but on one condition.” "And that Is”— queried Blondin. "That I shall carry you on my back.” answered Cham. “Not Jf I know myself.” answered Blondin. "Ah,” triumphantly exclaimed Cham, “this time. M.
