It was so long since h had come Into close contact with people of the class that filled the place that he was uncertain how to act. However, he sauntered around In a careless sort of way, and nodded here and there to people whom ho never saw before. Finally, he strolled over to a little room where a crowd was gathered. He stepped tip and looked over their shoulders. And then he Rasped for breath. Around his four subway pictures was gathered a nucleus of Keniune admirers. Jimmy Murphy, with his can of beer, received the major portion of the plaudits, bobbins would have stayed all day but fo rthe fact that he saw something at the oilier end of the large room. That some thing was a large, bluff, portly man, who had just entered. Poblilns ruKhcd up to him. "My head" ho exclaimed to the other, "you took my head." The other man looked at him In astonishment. "You certainly soom to have lost It." he returned primly. Dobbins held him fast. "My prrture that one of my sister that you took!" he exclaimed, "I want It back." The man started. "Why-why," he ex claimed, "are you tho-the artist of the the dingy, dirty little room? Impossible." But he soon realized that It was very possible after all. "My dear fellow," he observed, "that picture of your sister was so very charm ing that I couldn't help taking It along. Your sister must be a very charming girl, Indeed." ' Dobbins would have replied but for an Interruption. A girl rushed In the room and up to the bluff, portly man. Dobbins must have uttered some kind of an ex clamation, for the girl looked at him. "Why why," she exclaimed, with a heightened color, "why you you're the subway man. I" She stopped. Dobbins recovered his equanimity. "My sister Is a charging girl," he assented to the other man's proposition, "In fact tills Is my sister." The elder man broke Into a roar of laugh ter. "Mr. K. Vreeland Dobbins." he re marked, "you ore one of the finest artists and one of the coolest propositions that ever I ran up against. By the way," he went on, "did you ever get my little pay ment on account that I left at your your elegant apartment?" "Payment on account," said Dobbins In surprise, "what do you mean?" "Just what I say," returned the other, "why, man alive, do you think that fifteen hundred can pay you for the six pictures I ran off with. Your Jimmy Murphy Is worth that alone." "But I want that girl's head back," In sisted Dobbins. The man grinned. "Dobbins," he said, "give me your hand. All this would never have happened if my little girl here hadn't been bo dead set at one time on slumming In the Kast Side. I owe you a consider able amount of gratitude for protecting her as yon did one night, and I'm glad to say that from that night she has left the East Side severely alone. Then I took my turn at that part of town-thanks to your card and struck a few of your pictures. And let me tell you that they'll be all the rage. And I'm glad you came, and I'm glad to see you, and that'B what there Is about It." Later F. Vreeland Dobbins addressed him self to the girl. "Where are your working clothes?" he asked, with a smile. She smiled in turn. "I don't see yours," she answered. "Thank heavens," said Dobbins beneath his breath. "But I I must have that picture." he told her later. She looked at him and then cast down her eyes. "Cant-you-come around and get it?" she suggerted. He went-tlme and time again. He never got the picture of the girl. The old man refused to give it up. But he compromised with Dobbins by relinquishing unto him the girJ herself instead. Carpenter's Letter (Continued from Twelfth Page.) lars. There are more than a doxen great Stores of this kind, the merchants of which are here to do business with the repre sentatives of churches and chapels nil over the empire. The Russian are very reli gious and they spend much money on, bells. Kvery church has several and the country all told has more to Its population, per haps, than any other country of the world. During a recent visit to this bazaar I saw a group of long-haired, long-gowned priests making a purchase. They were testing the bells, and as the men struck them tho sound went forth like that of a cannon. I asked the merchant his prices and found that the bells were sold by the pound. Whereupon I bought ten pounds or so to ring for dinner on a farm I have in the country at a cost of J3. Speaking of dinner, I take mine here at the Restaurant Rnewl, near the public gar den in the fair city. It costs me Just 62 cents without drinks, and a splet.did or chestra plays while I eat. Ther is a stage at the back of the dining too n ar.d the concert is varied by vaudevi'le scenes without extra charge. The course today was a vegetable soup, a slice of delicious muulttt, the best of Volga fishes, half a spring chicken broiled on toast, apple pie and coffee. Everything was good from the food to the music, and far bettor, I venture, than any dollar dinner you will get at the St. Louis exposition. The waiters were dressed in white. They had white smocks coming down to the thighs bound In at tho waist with red silk sashes and white cot ton trousers The most of them were old and all were bearded. My waiter was about 40. He had a shiny bald head and great red whiskers which covered his chest like the beard of a patriarch. The eating is good everywhere in Russia, and I have yet to stop at a hotel where I have not been well served. The part of the fair I have already de scribed Is mostly wholesale. Of the millions of dollars worth of business done, 99 per cent of it is In large quantities. The goods are brought here and exchanged, not sold by samples. The rotail stores are Interesting. They are largely In bazaars or passages, hun dreds of stores being under one roof, which is lighted from above. They are more like bazaars than our retail establishments, be ing long lines of booths tilled with goods separated from one another by very thin walls. The largest of these bazaars is the Olaubnl Dom, which is In the center of the fair. It covers several acres and has pas sages through It this way and that. There are also smaller bazaars devoted to Asia, south Russia and tho states along the Volga and ahout the Caspian sea. In going through the fair I found but few American articles. There Is some of our hardware, but the Hermans have ten pack ages to our one and the Kngllsh surpass us fivefold. In cotton and woolen goods the Germans, Kngllsh and French sre fairly well represented. America has nothing and this is fo In nearly all branches of trade, it would pay tho United States to establish a samplo and sales roor here to be kept open while the fair lasts. There is a big open ing for all kim.'s of tools and especially for pumps, harvesters and heavy farming ma chinery. I saw same graphophoues and a few of our sewing machines, but us a rule American goods are almost unknown. Tho great bulk of the products are Russian, many of them being made In the small fac tories and by the house industries, which are found irf all parts of the empire. FRANK O. (MRPKNTBU. Fastest Time by Train On July 14 the train which carried the Prince and l"rincesa of Wales from Lon don to Cornwall over the Great Western railway established, so It Is claimed, a new record for long distance speed. The firrt portion of the run was jrom Padding ton station to Plymouth, a distance of 240 miles. This was negotiated in three hours fifty-three and three-quarters minutes, which was about thirty-scrren minutes less than the fast schedule which the engineer had been asked to make. The train con sisted of five heavy eight-wheeled coaches, and the entire run was made by a single locomotive, which averaged ror the entire distance Just about sixty-three miles sn hour. During portions of the run, how ever, a higher average speed than this was maintained. For instance, the first 100 miles were covered in eighty-six and a quarter minutes, a speed of over sixty-nine miles an hour from the start. A single mile was covered in forty-elgh seconds, or at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour, and over 135 miles were eovereu in the first two hours. According to those who were on the train, which is estimated to have had a weight of about 13t tons behind the tender, the traveling throughout was beau tifully smooth and easy, and even a little better time could have been made had there not been a slowing up on the curves for the sake of the comfort of tho royal passen gers. This record altogetner surpasses anything accomplished in tne United States, for here Is a run quite a little longer than that from Boston to New York covered In more than nn hour less than the fastest time made by the two limited trains run ning between our city and New York. Boston Herald. New England Thrift When Henry Harland was at Harvard he spent his vacation at Norwich, Conn. One Sunday he met an old friend of his to whom he owed a quarter. As he was leaving at 4:110 Monday morning for the long winter term, he called to the old gen tleman and said: "Deacon II., 1 owe you a quarter." "Ah, my son, no business transactions on tho Sabbath day." Harland, hastily putting his money In his pocket, begged his pardon and said as he was leaving very early the next morning he had ventured to pay him on the 8au bath. In the black dawn of a winter's morning he put his head out of tho window to say to the cabman that he would be down di rectly, and there beside tho cab stood a dark, motion'ess figure. "Who can be good enough to see me oft at this time In the morning," thought Har land. When he came down he found that the deacon had come for his quarter. New York Times, What Caused Ice Deluge? (Continued from rage Three.) got Into the spell of the axis oscillation which occurs in much more frequent peri ods. Tho natural result was that for a certain number of thousands of years tho northern hemisphere experienced wicked, killing winters, and for a certain numler of other thousands of years the southern hemisphere suffered them. Tliis theory suggests that glacial epoch are strictly periodical occurrences for tho earth since times prism vol. and that a northern glacial per. ml and h southern glacial period must always alternate. llviilently there is no fnrm of world an nihilation Involved In Urls. There Is not the slightest suggestion that the vagaries of the ellipse could ever lead to a universal catastrophe through Ice. If the gietor Mrt of one hemisphere should l.e covered with snow and cold death, the other hemisphere would remain glad and !oautlful with summer. And greater changes than these are not probable ill the course of this planet around the sun. It Is no comet racing wildly through space. I'nalteratly ttrm, it hangs as a vital liart of the whole In the celestial billiard game of the entire solar system. WILIIKIJkf BOKl-SdlK.
