THE MAN ON THE PEDESTAL
By Stuart B. Stone
fiWi
I '
THEY GATHERED AROUND AND SCRUTI
NIZED ME.
Trom Mentone and Monte Carlo, from Stirling
castle and the Prater and the Blarney atone,
from all the great and quaint show places ot
the old world way. I returned serosa the sea
to the place of my nativity, tc see Corinne
Barth. Miss Barth was reputed beautiful nr
any Olympian goddess, and once upou a time
her father had cornered eggs or wheat or but
terbeans and amassed a decent fortune. My
friends had cabled me home, declaring it the
golden ch., nee of a lifetime. Some rcckletfs
;>ers<>na hrd sur.g my praises In the lady's
ears. It was the boldest attempt at match
making; but from what I had heard 1 was
very glad to leave the Riviera for the golden
chance. As for Miss Barth—-well, I should see
her on the morrow. In the meanwhile I must
be amused. My eye encountered the sign:
"Bonatelll'a Museum of Wonders in Wax.”
After a bit I found myself wishing to be
bsck in the Casino grounds of bls highness ot
Monaco—or at the dainty feet of Miss Barth,
heiress. Then I saw the empty pedestal.
Some worthy ancient had grown dingy in
sei vice. They had removed him to be cleaned.
Ills blip* and yellow robe lay in a heap tn
the corn--; - . Moved by a mad whim I threw
the garish toga about my shoulders, removed
my hat and stepped in the absent wax man's
pla'.e. No one had seen. I frowned like Vul
can hen-jH-ek<<’ and waited.
The first to observe was a tot of 7. "See
the old. uggy man, momtner!” be shrieked.
I cannos say that 1 was greatly enjoying
myself. I relaxed my countenance and en
d< avor»s! to smile. I had no sooner twisted my
face into this i lensant repose ti-an a bevy ot
charming young women, with a group ot small
children and a dragon of a chaperone, hove
into sight. They gathered around and scruti
nised ue, consulting the catalogs.
"What a large, hideous nose!” observed a
girl. "It is probably one of the harpies."*
"Nonsense!’’ said the prettiest. "Napoleon
had a hlg nose. I think the figure is very
commanding."
As the others looked at her I squared up my
figure tremendously. 1 was sorry that 1 cottl-l
not fold >ny arms like the Little Corporal. She
was decidedly the prettiest girl • I have ever
aeen.
‘•Note the gross, carnal features.” said the
old dragnn. "If they were not ao hideous I
should say It was Bacchus."
"Hideous nothing!" spoke up my champion.
"They are Indeed godlike. But tuore lite Mars
or A poll us " How my heart warmed to her!
How ——
I felt a sharp, exec iclatlng pain, line of the
urchins terrible had stolen behind and was
amusing himself by thrusting a pin Into my

SII,OOO DAMAGES GIVEN
TO ENGINEER BY COURT
ROME. Ga., Oct. 9—ln Floyd city court
this afternoon a verdict of SII,OOO damages
was rendered in the case of F. H. Ansley
against the Southern railway. Ansley
was an engineer and lost a leg in a wreck
near Birmingham in March of 1908.
The railroad's attorneys have given no
tice of an appeal to a higher court. Reu

World’s Highest Telephone
The highest telephone line in the world, to
♦he Queen Margherita Observatory, ou Monte
Rosa, over 15,000 feet high, has jnst been com
pleted. and Prof Mosso will now be able to
communicate with the Queen tn Rome. The ob
it rvatory and the telephone line, which has
been constructed at the expense of th Queen,
took six years to complete. Over several
stretches tbe telephone posts have been Im
bedded In ice, and tbe wires stretch over the
Col d’Olen (10.000 feet) to the observatory, in
which Prof. Mosso spends the greater part of
the year. The new line will be of great help

Remedying Matters
He—Do you know that as long as I
have known you I have never seen you
dressed in white? »
She—lndeed! Are you, then, so partial
to the color?
He—Not exactly that; but whenever
I see a girl dressed in white I am al
ways tempted to kiss her.
She—Will you excuse me for a quarter
of an hour?—Judge.
The Lesser of Two Dislikes
"So you are seeking employment, my boy!
Do you love work?”
"No; but I hate school."
I winced. The old dragon chaperone drew
closer and etared. I think she was suspl—
“Great nebulous wraiths of Caesar!” 1
shouted, and achieved a tew high vaulting
reord <tt that pedestal. The imp behind bad
driven the pin in to the bead.
"Oh, the wretch!” cried the old dame. "Cut
this imposter <ut!"
The guards littr led tip and laid rough bands
on me. I had exti acted tbe ptn and teit bet

like tones "I was given permission to stand
there and gather material for u story. 1 am
Arthur Langdon lb mphfil”—
“Arthur Hemphill!” cried my divine chain
pion, with a heavenly blush. "1 ant Miss
Barth—oh, how foolhhly I praised you!"
"You are a goddess," I murmured, bowing
lew. "But I have cut a ridiculous figure."
"No, no—l adore original men," wbntpereo
Miss Barth, dimpling deliciously. Then, nndei
her breitlt, as 1 leaned nearer, "Godlike, cou

RYAN if RETIRE
FROM WALL STREET
Loss of Control of Seaboard Is
Believed to Be Proof of Report
That Railroad Man Plans Re
tirement.
NEW YORK. Oct. 9—The ousting of
Thomas F. Ryan, as a member of the
board of directors of the Seaboard Air
Line, is believed in the financial district
to be additional proof of the report about
a week ago, that he is rapidly ridding
himself of all the responsibilities of cor
poration directorships with the view of
actually retiring from active business.
As regarding the Seaboard Air Line,
it is believed in Wall street that the road
within a few weeks will come from the
hands of the receivers and that then the
reorganizations will be effected with most
of the old officers who were driven out
by Ryan reinstated.
Mr. when seen at the Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel tonight, refused to dis
cuss the affairs of the company.
John Skelton Williams, the Richmond
banker, whom Ryan drove from the
presidency of the Seaboard a few years
ago, after a bitter fight, was re-elected
to the board and it is generally under
stood that he will resume the presidency
now that Ryan’s Influence is no longer
dominating the company's policies.
ALLEGED MURDERER
CAUGHT BY LETTER
Traced by means of a letter which he
wrote, it is said, from 89 Oakland ave
nue, Atlanta, under the assumed name of
Frank Boyd, an alleged desperado anj
murderer. Mitchell Bush, a negro, wanted
in Anniston, Ala., was arrested Thurs
day by Deputy Sheriffs Haygood and
Owen.
Sheriff W. C. LeGrand, at Anniston,
was notified by wire, and arrived in At
lanta Friday morning to take charge of
the, prisoner, whom he says has been a
fugitive from justice for more than two
years.
The letter which led to nie man's arrest
was written to friends of Mitchell, In
Alabama, and was signed Frank Boyd.
It stated that Boyd was a friend of
Mitchell and that Mitchell was ill, out of
a job and badly in need of money* The
detectives who got possession of the let
ter supposed that Boyd was a real per
son, and figured that by getting in touch
with him they would find Mitchell. But
to the gratification and surprise of the
officers, when they located Boyd they
found that Boyd and Mitchell were one
and the same.
KILLS 'HIS WTFE ON
THREAT OF DIVORCE
KOKOMO, Ind.. Oct. B.—William Robi
son shot and killed his wife in a dry
goods store here late yesterday, when she
reiterated her intention of bringing suit
for divorce. Robison found his wife
shopping with her sister.
“Is It true that you intend to bring
suit for divorce?” he demanded. When
she replied in the affirmative and before
clerks could interfere, Robison shot his
wife twice through the breasti There was
a panic among the clerks, and. in the
confusion, Robison walked from the
store. When arrested a few minutes later,
he said:
“I guess I nm craay.”
An effort will be made, it is believed,
to establish Robison's insanity when he
is brought to trial for killing his wife.
Robison is a son of David Robison,
Who in 1875 killed two of his children, at
tempted to kill his wife, and shot at the
son. William Robison, of yesterday's
' tragedy. The prisoner carries in his cheek
; a bullet fired by his father. The elder
Robison, after slashing the throat of h’s
two daughters, was killed by falling from
a freight train while trying to make his
escape.
'SKIRT TORN TO SHREDS
IN SPOKES OF WHEEL
Divested of a large portion of a black
silk skirt by a passing push-wagon, oper
ated by two negro urchins, was the pecu
liar and rather embarrassing experience
of Mrs. Nancy L. Queen, of 318 Simpson
street, widow of Policeman David Queen,
while standing at Edjiewood avenue and
Bell streets late Thursday afternoon.
George Williams and Clem Dawson.
' aged 7 and 6 years, came down the side
i walk at a fast clip, and either failed
ito see Mrs. Queen or saw her too late
to swerve.
One end of the front axle caught in
her skirt about ten inches from the
ground, and in a trice the garment was
ruined, a strip just that wide being torn
off around the bottom as smoothly and
regularly as if cut by shears.
She caught the wagon and held it while
a nearby groceryman telephoned for po
lice assistance, and Call Officers Wood
and West arrested the little negroes.
COMMISSION TURNS DOWN
SHERIFFS OF GEORGIA
The sheriffs of Georgia and their depu
ties must continue to pay railroad fare
or hoof it, according to the decision hand
ed down by the railroad commission Fri
day
Some time ago the sheriffs petitioned the
commission for right to ride free on
railroads. They set up the claim that
their incomes were small and that fre
quently they had to pay out money with
out return from the counties they served.
The commission held that to grant the
petition would set a dangerous prece
dent and will eventuate in exempting as
state officers from the rule.
