Hammond, Wymore, expre?d the belief, "I am sure there is not a player io the world who can say why the move (3. B-Kt 5) is made whaV it itaatly .does.' . In this Mr. Hammond has the support of Rev. H li. Cunnicgton, the author of several books on chess, who ays that White's third move is -a very god move but dif ficult to explain." However, Mr. Lee Edward, of Dunlap, Iowa, a student of che has thii to say for the benefit of Iine Independent readers: z.ttii , The original idea of the Ruy Lopez 4 m m m as to continue the attack on the KP. This proved unratl-factory, for Black could solely let White capture the pawn. For example: B-OK P-QR1 i. BxKt QPxB i KtxP gQT So the Ruy Lopez in the early years of this century was in disfavor.

B-Kt 5 came to be consider ed a- sound. After considerable exper iment 3 Kt KB3 has come to be con feidered as Black's best defense. The flrt player obtains a good development with a varied choice of styles of play.

Davis saloons were crowded, and Sterlain. the roulette bank keeper, was in jubilant spirits. He even cracked jokes, for the roulette was winning largely. So absorbing was it that the small fry gamesters abstained from risking their petty dollars aii goldpieees and gazed with a sort of awe at the heavy pile of bank notes that accumulated in front of the croupier, as a rich harvest under the reaper's sickle. The excitement was at its height when, just as midnight struck on the bell of the neighboring cathedral, there stood side by side with those mag nates of the roulette table, without any body having noticed how he came, a gen tleman apparently 25 years of age. It was such an apparition as could not but compel instant attention. He was of middle height, fragile and spare of body; and elegantly proportioned in form. His features were almost feminine and of classic beauty, and yet, at the very first glance, there could be detected in them an undefinable expression which gave warning that under this mask of softness there lurked something to bo guarded against hard iron or sharp steel within an envelope of velvet or silk. In tensely black were his hair, the beard on his upper lip and his lustrous eyes. Black was his whole dress from head to foot, its neatness evidencing the unmistakable cut of the fashionable artist. Black also were his closely fitting gloves. His coat, of the finest cloth, was buttoned up to his chin and showed to advantage his statuesque bust. Altogether there could not have stood in any princely hall a more aristocratic looking personage. A poet would have called him the god of darkness. This stranger for nobody present knew him seemed o abstract himself completely from his surroundings and for awhile looked intently at the gaming board, as if he meant to impregnate it with the magnetizing fluid of his will. Then, suddenly addressing Sterlain, in front of whom he had stationed himself, "Sir," he said in Spanish, with a courte ous bow and a musical but somewhat me tallic voice, "are" the stakes limited?" "No," briefly answered the surprised croupier. The unknown deliberately took off his right glove, showing a hand which a wo man might have envied, with long nails, exquisitely shaped and pearly in color. With it he drew out an apparently well filled pocketbook of black morocco, orna mented with gold clasps. He extracted from it a few bank notes, which he laid on the table, saying calmlv: "My deal is for $10,000." An electric shock seemed to have struck the bystanders, and a thrill shot through every one's heart that almost stopped its beating. The wheel turned. The bank lost. "Take your plunder," shouted Sterlain with an oath. "No. Let it stand. I go the whole." The ball was again set in motion, and again fortune favored the Spaniard, who by this time had become the only player, all the rest gazing with absorbing inter est at the terrible duel which had evi dently begun between the two adversa ries. Unused to such bad luck and to such crushing loss, Sterlain appeared be side himself and, growling like an angry mastiff, jumped uj ' "Sxcuse me, gentlemen," he said, T am out of funds and must apply to Mr. Davis to replenish my bank." A few minutes elapsed, during which the spectators remained clustered togeth er in prof ound " silence and staring at the lucky gambler,--who, meanwhile, without taking the slightest notice of the sur rounding crowd, kept his eyes steadily fixed on the roulette as if buried in the deepest meditation. Sterlain' returned with his hands full. "Why have you not j-emoved your trash and cleaned the board?" he said gruffly to the stranger. "Because," replied he, "I choose to leave it where it is and stake the whole." Sterlain turned very pale and breathed heavily, as if something pressed against his chest. Again the ivory ball of fate twirled in the bowl. Again it stopped. The bank had lost. Up started Sterlain, frenzied with rage, to get another supply of those ample funds which Davis and his associates always kept in reserve. On his coming back Sterlain was so demoral ized that all he could say to his adversa ry, on whom he cast a bewildered look, was, in a tone of frightened interroga tion, "Well, what next?" "I stake all I have on the board," was the short reply. Round and round went the roulette, and for the fourth time the mysterious stranger won'. The total gain was enor mous. "The bank is completely broken and closes for tonight," Sterlain announced with emotion, rendered almost inarticu late, and, vaulting over the table, he rushed upon the Spaniard, brandished his closed fists and exclaimed : "In the foul Jfiend's t name, what have you eaten today?" ' The stranger had, retreated a few steps at the threatened assault and stood still, waiting for a closer approach. With a diabolical, sardonicsmile on his lips, with a look which froze the blood of the spec tators and made Sterlain reel back as if a stiletto had struck him full in the breast, the Spaniard, with perfect com posure, answered in his rich native lan guage. "If you are, amigo moi, interested in "knowing whit1"! have eaten today, I have no objection to telling you that it is chocolate, senor." The reader may laugh at this ridiculous finale, but we were assured by one of the spectators than none of them was so dis posed at the time, so tragic was the in tonation with which the stranger pro nounced in Spanish the word chocolate. It never was known who this man was. When he retired,be was followed by many who wished to gratify their curi osity on that point. But on reaching the street he jumped into a carriage which seemed to have been improvised for the occasion and drove furiously away. That was the last seen of bim in New Orleans. The prince of darkness was never better personated. Was he Mephistopheles? American Magazine. , 1 Jt Swell Affair. Miss Cutting Why, what is the mat ter, Mr. Softleigh?

One evening he stood long before the open window shutter. How difficult it was to get at closing it! The air was cool, the city sull. Below in the narrow, hilly street came a muleteer astride, stooping forward over tire back of the ass, whose little hoofs clicked and slipped on the big, smooth stones. He sang a monotonous song in the customary plaintive drawling, nasal tones of the easterner, and as he passed along the sound of his voice reminded one of the bagpipe. On the window sill lay a manuscript dissertation, and so clear and brilliant was the February moonlight that Hans conld read the fine writing without dif ficulty. It was a defense of the establish ed order of things, of standstill conserva tism, admitting-of no exception. And as he stood there in the city where the idea of human brotherhood was born and had gone forth over the earth, as he glanced over the pages of the" document, he said to himself: "No, no; we young people are natural foes to conservatism. We are tbe ones who now, in all ages, ha.ve broken ground for the truths which have proceeded from this city." As he spoke he made an unconscious movement with his hand. At the same time his glance fell upon his own shadow on the wall, outlined by the moon. He could not restrain his laughter. Was not that the shadow of an actor, the head thrown back, the hand extended as if he were declaiming some stirring passage? A feeling of shame swept over him as he considered for the first time that, amoug the ideas transmitted from that city to the western world as a cargo of precious jewels, was a tiny pearl, hu manity. He closed his eyes and pressed his hands over his face, and a thousand little stars seemed to flash before his sight. To be sure, it was merely the pulsations of hfcf'own bfcod which produced this sensawon. and yet, little by little, those tiny lights ceased to ravolve and looked for all the world like the pale stars which he had just been watching in the firma ment. At length, aroused by voices iu the street, he looked out. Between the houses opposite there ex tended a wall." On the ground in front was a bright fire, and by that fire stood Christ surrounded by a few disciples and frieno.s. Just behind him his shadow was clearly defined upon the wall. John,-the disciple whom he loved, me chanically picked up a blackened coal and with it outlined the shadow until he had delineated the entire figure of the Master upon the wall. Then he dropped the coal and entered into conversation with the rest. Next morning, when Hans Alienus again stood at his open window and saw the people pass, there were many who stopped and looked with curiosity at the drawing on the wall. "That represents a shoemaker: his back is bowed," said the shoemaker. "You talk nonsense," returned the fruiterer: "that stooping posture proves that he is a f ruit vender. . They forgot to draw the basket on his back, but that half open mouth shows clearly that he was crying: 'Pomegranates! Come and buy! Come and buyT " A high official of the aanhedrin who passed, and who of course did not mix his voice with the gabble of the trades people, thought to himself: "It is perfect ly plain that that represents a learned man and a thinker. One might almost take it to be a portrait of me. Positively It is me: not bad, either. Probably some of the tradespeople drew it. Of course they all know me more or less." Meanwhile one of the spectators had silently approached the carbon drawing. He had a simple demeanor and a kind, patient face. Nothing great was known of him, no chronicle has preserved his name, for h led a retired life, away from the noise of the world. With hauds crossed over the knob of his walking stick he contemplated the drawing. "What a noble forehead!" he thought. "What lofty humanity that bent figure suggests! Oh. if only one could be like that! But why wish for the impossi ble!" As he stood there, silent and humble, the likeness to the drawing was so strik ing that everybody fell back, pointing to him in whispers. Startled and ashamed he slipped away, unable to understand ,why they should stare at him. In his conscious humility he had re sembled the Christ shadow. Had he known this, and. proud in that consciousness, stood erect, the likeness would have vanished. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Frwnklln o Orator. It was Poor Richard who remarked, "Here comes the orator, with his flood of words and his drop of reason," and dur ing his whole life Franklin was no speechmaker. "I served," Jefferson said, "with General Washington in the legis lature of Virginia before the Revolution and during it with Dr.-Franklin in con-: gress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the lit tle ones would follow themselves." John Adams, in one of his periodic out bursts against the man whom the public deemed greater than himself, contrasted his own services in congress, in which he claimed to have been "active and alert in every branch of business, both in the house and on committees, constantly pro posing measures, supporting those I ap proved when moved by others, opposing such as I disapproved, discussing and ar guing on every question," with those of Franklin, who was seen, he says, "from day to day, sitting in silence, a great part of his time fast asleep in his chair." Yet Franklin was appointed on every important committee and Adams on few. and the sage, could he have read his brother congressman's comparison, might fairly have retorted, with the wisdom of Poor Richard. "He that speaks much is much mistaken," or "The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise." Paul L. Ford in Century. To Core a Double Chin. It has been discovered that a double chin can be cured by correct breathing. The short necked woman must hold her head high, even craning her neck till she is conscious of the tension of the cords. She should also practice relaxing the muscles of the neck and dropping the head and then moving it round in a cir cle. This will give the head a graceful poise and will exercise the muscles and help to - rid them of superfluous fat. Home Notea.
