Born of one of tbe best fsinllii-- iu Csllfurnia, lie was a great uncial favorite. He was handsome, talented, a brilliant fellow, of whom great thtngs were prophesied. He marrleJ the daughter of Robert Bruce, an eminent capitalist. His own money and that of bis wife young Thorndike squandered at cards and on the race tracks. The gambling mania then drove htm to play the ban .lit, and be perished a miserable suicide after a fierce running gun fight with the police and a posse of citizens. It was as if one of Bret Hartez weirdest characters had step-pe- d out of old print to play hi iiart in real life. There was a merry party one day in the summer of 18iHS aboard the yacht of Robert Bruce, out for a days cruise In Hants Crus bay. The Bruce millions are hlsiorlr in California. The Bruce aocial status ia among tha highest. Mr Bruce's daughter, Bertha, a girl of rare beauty, was one whose hanl was sought by many admirers. Everybody knew she gave many dances to Bert Thorndike, but that meant nothing. Any girl in her set would gladly give him every dance he asked. No one ever dreamed that these two wera engaged. Nevertheless, he and she were devoted to each other, and when the Bruce yacht was headed homeward Iu that golden afternoon. Bert Thorndike would have created less excitement with a bombshell than ha did with hia announcement; Bertha and I are merried. After the first gaap af astonishment everybody began to laugh. Of rourae, it was one of Bert's jokes. Tbe dear fellow was sink a Joker. "But we are married. corroborated Miss Bruce in the moat matter-of-fatone. Where? When? How? a dosau voice asked. Why today, be said, on board this boat." Again a storm of laughter. This was too droll. We are serious, Thorndike declared. We married each other today by rivll contract. No power on earth cau part ua. By Jegrcna the members of the party became convinced, then Indignant such a They eould not countcnam thing. It was too much like a uorel by George Bernard Shaw. When the Bruce family and the Thorndikes heard of the new cycle marriage they were indignant too. Finally, after much discussion. Albert and Bertha were regularly married in church by an ordained minister. Their relatives and friends breathed raster and the bride and bridegroom began married life In the handsome home of the Bruces In the Alameda. There (heir little son, Bruce, now In hie eighth year, was born, and seemingly there was no bitter drop In tbe cup of happiness. Nevertheless. Thorndike was often absent on tripe to Ban Francisco. There he played cards In the fashionable clubs, took a whirl at the wheel in the gambling palaces, and even ventured to the rare (rack at Oakland, whera he bet on many vilnners. Rut the luck changed. Bert baJ need of his chit; rower of marking hia emotion. He lost steadily, always with the same humorous upurnin ( of the corner of hia mouth. To lose bored him as much a to win no more. It was not a a returned prodigal but as a welcome guest that Bert went gack to hia home In tha Alameda. Despite hie hletory and hia lowly employment he had gained the entre into the most exclusive social sets in Ban Francisco. and he was Invited and went everywhere. His word waa all law In the nlro conduct of a cotillon, the rolor of a hat, the proper eurve of a roat With ready money at hand, young Thorndike returned hie career aa the rhln gambler. Alcoholic liquors never crossed his Ups. His selfcommand, ao for aa external appearances went.wa perfect. Inwardly he burned with the true gambling fever. For a time a run of good luck lured him on. He was careful In his plays. That postponed for a while the inevitable. Then the losses rolled tip higher end higher. Ilow many thousands of dollars the at listed man spent, Mrs. Bruce and her daughter are too proud to tell. Tt Is known that In the last week of hie life he lost 1,700 at Ihe Ban Francisco race meeting. At last mother and daughter learned to say no to the gambler's demands for more money. He grew strangely quiet. Eight men were quailing nightcaps Iu the lounging room of the Del Monte club at 1 o'clock Sunday morning when with noiseless steps, there burst In open them a trim-bui- lt young fellow In an old shooting anit. He had a cocked revolver in each hand. His eyes gleamed brightly through two holes In a red bandanna handkerchief that draued hia face. Hands up. gentlemen! he commanded In hoarse tones. Tbe voice was disguised, that was dear. Swiftly the bandit whipped a I1.000 diamond ring off the hand of William George. From a gaming table he took )ti00.

It would be a pretty thing if some morning we were to wake up and find out little friends blotted out of tbe map.

How deep these disturbances run It Is not easy to say, but they have been traced to a depth of twenty-fou- r milea. From the center of the disturbance shock which have affected the whole earth have radiated. The harmful Inevitable earthquake is credited with soma of the biggest Juggling- feats on record. One curiosity occurred at tbe fort of Ban Carlos, where the flag staff, sunk thirty feet In tne ground and secured with Iron rods, waa suddenly shot high Into the air, leaving a clean round hole where it had been.
