The action of the board had to do with
lUe disclosing or hoard room secrets
and with tho use of what Is commonly
called "inside information" fur tho
financial beiietit of directors. It was
voted, after some discussion, "that no

wlthmt previously announcing his In

any Indirect holding of the stock or

Hon would prohibit no legitimate trad

not who was picked up lu the street,
taken to the duke's house, put Into the
duke's bed, and found himself, when
he awoke, surrounded by a bowing and
obsequious throng? He stared at them,
lie could not understand. There wero
silken clothes bin? on the chair. Ills
morning meal was being banded him on
n gold tray. He fell back In bed, nnd
exclaimed, "Oh! I mn dreaming! This
Is not met It cannot jiosslbly bo me!
It must be somebody rise!" Why did
he think this?. It was not altogether
because he know he was not a duke.
The real reason for his astonishment
lay deeper than that. He thought so
little fit himself that he knew nobody
else could think very much of hlni. At
heart, the jioor sot had no self-respect.
People never think any more of you
than you think of yourself. This does
not mean that you are to pretend, or
that you are to be proud, and go along
thinking only of what a superior per
fou you are. Put It 'does mean that
people will never take off their hats to
you unless you hold up your head.
Don't aologlze for what you are. One,
of tho saddest spectacles In tho world
Is that of a man who Is too humble to
demand resjxH-t, .or too niologetic to!
command attention, or too much of a
moral weakling to assert his rights.
Tho world will never search you out,
and drag you Into the limelight, nnd
ay, "Here he Is! We have been want
ing to find him, so that we could show
hint respect, and reward him, and give
him all the deference nnd honor he de
serves!" No; the world will let you
stay In your obscure corner, and will
give Its honor and rewards to the man
with half your ability and twice your
self-respect. Say, "I know what I nm.
I know what I can do. I know how

THE
Not since the time of the puzzling
Chevalier d'Eon, In the eighteenth cen
tury, has there conio to pubHc attention
such a sex riddle as has been presented
In the case of Nlcolal de Itaylan, who
masqueraded eighteen years as a man
and was found to be a woman only
after her death In Phoenix, Aria., last
December. A diary and a buislle of
correspondence, In tho oilico of the Chi
cago public administrator, reveal an
amazing story.
De Itaylan, It apjiears, was started
on her career of deception In an at
tempt to blackmail hvr mother, nt
whom she was Incensed hesauso the
paternity of the girl was kept n secret.
De Kaylan adopted male attiro aud
tried to prove that she bad been mas
queraded as n girl by her mother in
Violation of the laws of Itutsln, which
provide heavy punishment for such an
offense. A feature of tho story Is the
fact that Do Kaylan Interested tho late
M. Constantlnl Petrovltch Pohledonost
off, procurator of the holy synod. In
her case, and prevailed on him to start
suit against her mother.
Tho diary, which covers tho period
between 1KSS and IS!):!, shows that Un
real family name of De Kaylan was
Taletsky. The first entries depict her
as a school girl 15 years old, about to
graduate from a seminary nt Kiev,
Hussla. At this lime the girl's mother
suddenly acquires wealth to tin
amount of l!r(),OM rubles (about $12.".
(KJO), and Nlcolal, tho only name by.
which Do Itaylan Is known to have lieen
called, discovers that the money hs
been setth-d on her parent as trustee
by a member of the nobility, to be con
served In the Interests of Nlcolal. Tho
girl becomes curious as to the reason
for tho settlement and suspects that
tho unknown nobleman her father,
but fails to drag Information on the
point from her mother. Then cities
the Inspiration that resulted In eighteen
years of pseudo-masculinity for De
Itnvlan.
In Itussia the law makes It a crime
punishable by Imprisonment for) nny
person to gain entrance for a loy' Into
a girls' school and also, under the mili
tary statutes, makes It n serious crime
for a mother to hide the sex of n ninle
rhlld. Young Do Kaylan, according to
the Journal, schemed to blackmail her
own mother by aid of these laws, nnd
fo this end took Into her .confidence her
French governess, Louise Uatone. Two
yVars were spent In preparing for the
tis-mmptlon of the male disguise, and In
1R!)1 Louise Katono wrote to the late
M. PohledonostefT, procurator of the
holysyuod, telling In detail tho alleged
facts .lu tho case. The churchman In
sisted on starting criminal proceedings

When the Jury acquitted Judgv i.ii.mi (J. Loving of the murder of Theo

the grounds of defense it resembled the Thaw case in New York, and It Is
IKihslble that this precedent may have noine effect when tho lutter cuso comes

U:i those who think upon these two remarkable murders tin fact Is lm

arrested and preparations started for
the trial.
This, however, was too swift a pro

fatigues of n 400 mile railroad Journey, the offers wero
declined. Thirty years ago Mr. Eutwlstle had been

THE DREAMER.
He builds as Iih can, as lie will,
In weakness or strength as it seems;
And it is what it is; for his skill
Is only the truth of his dreams.
And his dronnis are as strong as his faith,
Or as weak as tho fears that they own ;
And what to his soul either saycth,
That is, end that guidos him alone.
So some ships that are stately and fair
Go down for a morsel of faith ;
While some thistle-down barks, light as

No storm can move out of their path.

The old gentleuiau's thick popper-and-salt

'Imt I want to know."
"Well, if you want to know, ltwas

And I always looked up to yon so,

"That's what he was." ho admitted.

Tho girl patted his shoulder sympa

"Tho first time I ever saw him," said
tho old gentleman, "was when I wns
at school In Pagleyville. I had n mar
ble board that I'd traded another hoy
out of. It was just n plain board about
a foot long with square holes cut in the
base of it, some larger then others.
You stood off and shot at tho holes.
If you got through' the very biggest
hoe you got your own marble back and
another one; If you got through the
next biggest you got three marbles, and
so on. Tho highest you could win was
twenty, but you could just barely get
through that. All the marbles that
mhsed going through any hide and
most of them did went to the owner
of the Ixwrd. See?"
"I sec," said the girl. "Sort of n slot
machine."
"Not nt all." corrected tho oil gen
tleman. "There was no gambling about
It. It all depended on the- skill of tho
players. There was one boy who al
ways shot at the biggest hole and he
won every time, until I barred him out
for a sure-thing sport Well, while the
boys were shooting Glldden came ufl
anil wntchod and presently declared
that no known marbles could go
through the twenty hole unless It wa3
hammered through. I called Jilm a liar,
of course, and offered to light him, but
ho said that fighting wns wrong, which
is right, of course, nnd that he was
light, which ho was. I had been run

but the board had got wet and swelled

a great deal of trouble, I remember."
