We are apt to prize what vre are not UHed to. I suppose one reason the daughters of our multimillionaires nre inclined to toorry foreigners with titles la that titles are not an American In stitution. . What gives them their glam our la thut they are not American. When on a visit to England I visited the Earl of Banuerton. We were sit ting one evening together drinking port wine and smoking. The walls were covered with portraits of his ancestors. "We Americans," I said, "envy you your family histories, your blood, your ancetttral homes. . What a tine thing It la to feel that you have pure blue blood In yur veins, especially when there Is no taint In It" The earl smiled. "What would you say," be replied. 1f 1 told yoa that my grandfather was a highwayman?" "1 should say you were amusing yourself." ' "He was." . "A highwayman?" "Yes. Come. I will show you his portraits and that of bis wife, my grandmother." He led me into a room used exclu sively, for family likenesses and stop ped before two portraits, a young man and a young woman. The man must have been extremely bundsorue. We sat down, and be told me tbelr story while I was looking at them as they were when the events narrated occurred. , . "The young blooda of England In olden times were not as vicious In some respects as they are today. They drank pretty hard, but they were not effeminate. When they were not fighting foreign enemies or engaged la cruel warfare an outlet wan required for their surplus vitality. One day Sir Itogef Smartlelgh was driving on a road with his daughter Clarissa the girl faced lady you see before you when his coach was stopped. A horse man appeared at the window and de manded what be called 'alms.' De waa masked, of course, but be bad the manner of a courtier. . Captivated by Clarissa's beauty, he swung nls bat In deference to ber like the bero of a sixpenny novel of the present day: Sir Roger emptied his pockets, holding out the contents, with his watch, to the highwayman. "Never mind those, said the rob ber. If the young lady will give me that bit of lace she wears about her throat I will ask no more.' "Glad to escape with so little dam age. Sir Roger bade bis daughter give up ber lace. She obeyed like a duti ful child, handing It to the highway man. " '1 only ask It as a loan,' be said, and will bring It to you In person.' "If yon do,' said Sir Roger, yoh will be taken and banged to the high est gibbet In England.' "That prospect will only enhance the test of the visit' replied the man. 'Besides, to see this beautiful girl once more I would be willing to dan gle from a rope's end,' The coach was driven on and the highwayman left behind. "Several mouths after that Sir Roger and Lady Smartlelgh gave a masked ball The dancing, was at its height when Clarissa observed a figure dress ed u m StmuiKii lurraUor wuu u tui ed to ber the acme of manly form. Determined ro discover If possible wn be was. as won as the dance was fin ished she resolved to Join blm. When be parted from bis partner be made ber a bow. sweeping tbe fir with bin hat. and sbe knew there waa but one man In England who could moke so grand a salute. "Sbe stood undecided, ber heart beat ing like a kettledrum, for she knew tbe highwayman hud come on his promised visit, and sbe remembered her father's threat At the moment the' highwayman tnrnPd and. wine her. come toward ber. thnistini! In"' ber band a lilt f la', ni own baml touched htTH( and he felt bers tmn Lie. . . , That touih. that quiver, preclpitat ed a love affair. The man knew sb was treraliliiiK for him. and Hbe wa Infatuated lv tbe frtRlitful risk be ran to visit ber. tlf drew tier band through his arm and led her out on to the dim iy Ilfhted terrace. . "Thre wa tbe usual melting of tbe wemuo under the warm un of love At lirst Hhe demanded lu un assumed tone of severity wlmt rlpbt be bad there, and when tbe rascnl told her thut be bad come to see ber and die she threw ber arms about blm and begged him to flee for bis life Dow be could tiee when, sbe wouldn't let blm go I don't know. Sir Roger bad got a glimpse of tbe fellow when be was making bis courtly bow and. bav Ing seen it before, knew bfs guest. He made bis way through a , crowd of dancers as fast as be could, but before he reached his man the latter bud dls appeared, for Clarissa, hearing her ra ther roaring and swearing and crying Where is the villain?" opened her arms, and the robber was in tbe gar den and over the fence like tbe boy of twenty-two he was. ' - - -- "Clandestine meetings between the fevers followed the ball, and a secret marriage followed the meetings. Tbe highwayman tbe handsome chap was the second son of my great-grandfa ther-dld not live with his wife for two years after their marriage, for if he bad showed himself be would have got the rope. But after bis elder broth -er died childless and be inherited tbe title he got a pardon and acknowledged his wife, and I am one if tbelt fc scendants." Citation.
