Whether It waa that I longed for the companionship of one who spoke a common language or because there was something Tery much alive with my fellow trareler I don't know, but I enjoyed hla company so well that I was In no hurry te part with him. Coming to a Tillage, we sat down to gether at a table In the grouuda .of a hotel oa the margin of th lake and ordered luncheon, rat talked glibly all the while, hla chat sparkling with wit and. humor, so that 1 was very agreeably entertained.

The result of the meeting waa that w traveled together to Geneva. There he named a cheap hotel he proposed to stop at. and I was so loath to part with him that I chose the same hos telry.

Indeed, there seemed tit' be n other way for him to get home but by train, for. he couldn't : walk and he hadn't sufficient money to' ride. I told him that I would make tnnr of lre tand before returning to Aroerira and would see him there. If be found It convenient to pay the loan then, well ad good. If not I would not miss the mount On parting with him I asked him to tell me what be was doing In Switzerland. He smiled that good Matured smile of bis and aaid that would be explained when I saw trim in Ireland. It was severs! mouths, before I start ed on my Irish tour, and on reaching Dublin I posted a letter announcing my arrival to the address he had given me, a tillage not far from the city. The next afternoon a note from rat was handed to me stating that be had had a relapse of hla old trouble, rheu matism, and could not get out. Would I kindly come with the bearer? The bearer waa a liveried servant ; I thought there must be some mis take,' but said nothing. I went out side, where I found a carriage with a coachman In the aame livery aa the bearer of the note. I was put into the carriage and driven for an hour when we turned Into a handsome place. As we aeared the house I aaw a gentle man sitting on the porch with one leg resting on a chair. On bis fare waa a broad grin, evidently at the surprise plainly visible on mine, for he was none other than my fellow traveler. Paf Ha thus explained the case. He was a gentleman's aon and like others of his kind went out Into the world to fight for a living, since his father had , lost hla property by speculation.

When aa ocean liner baa been out a couple of daya If the weather la fair those who have had us I de race begin to And their way o deck. Women re clfne la steamer chairs comfortably tucked In with rug, many of them slightly pale, but gaining color from the pure ocean atmosphere. It waa oa such an occasion that 1 first saw a lady whose face at once Interested me. I waa young, and youug mea are very sensible to beauty. This girl waa not ao especially beauti ful as striking. Her eyes and eye browa were a dark brown, while her hair waa a chestnut with a tinge of red In It. It waa thla contrast that at tracted me. Now, I am quite willing to confess that under other circumstances I might simply have admired the art Is tic combination of milky skin, dark eyea and Titian hair without having given the girl another thought But, aa I have said. In fair weather at sea one ia under different influences, or, rather, free, to be moved by any Influ ence. We bad left New York in snowstorm and were bow oa the boa om of the warm water of the gulf stream. Though we needed our wraps, there waa pleasant softness la the air In marked contrast with the win ter wa had left Not only did I feel a delightful relaxation, but I waa not troubled with a multiplicity of things to look at. I saw only the sky, the ocean and the ship, and on the ship I looked only at the young girl who charmed me. As luck -would have it a friend of mine who waa aboard atepped up to the young lady sad spoke to her. I waa delighted. An Introduction was assured to me. Within an hour I wa sitting beside Miss Manning, chatting with her. We were making the Mediterranean trip and. since we bad been out only two days, ten or eleven days remained to me to enjoy Mlaa Manning's society How Impressionable la a youngster of twenty-fire, especially on who baa nothing to do but be impressed! I con fess that I had do right to be im pressed, for I waa engaged to a very lovely woman. The trouble with me was aa artistic temperament I had been caught by a peculiar condition of beauty. I did not find Miss Man ning especially Intellectual, especially entertaining, but ever before me was that singular combination of. features. I did not at first realize the danger for me. an engaged man, to put myself under the influence of another woman. eren If the attraction waa In that which appealed alone to an abnormal sense for beauty. Before we reached the Aaores I began to fear for myself. and when we reached Madeira and we went ashore together and walked in the garden of Funcball, redolent with the perfume of tropical flowers, I knew that I waa lost I had written something dally to my fiancee to post from our first landing point, but somehow I could not drop it In the purser's box to be mailed. I glanced orer what I had written, and so completely had I passed under a new spell that I wondered bow I could erer hare been under any other. I tore my letter into Uts. From Ma deira to Gibraltar I was in an a cony between a sense of honor, shame and self condemnation on the one band and Infatuation on the other. From Glbral tar to Naples I sank Into absolute non resistance and self contempt. I bad not the assurance nor was I expected to attach myself to the Man ning family during their stay hi Italy. ao I left them. Intending to meet them In a few months In Switzerland. I had not spoken my Infatuation I can not call It lore to Miss Manning, for I could not bring myself to act so con temptibly while I waa still betrothed to another. I hoped the conditions might be changed before our next meetlDg. though what waa to change them except some dishonorable act on my part I did not know. I had not been separated from my fellow trareler a week before the chains that bound me to her began to drop off of their own weight Then It first occurred to me that I bad been captivated by a peculiar beauty. I saw so many different types of beauty in the galleries of Italy that I suppose I became surfeited. Still. I could not call up the Image of Miss Manning without backsliding. Three months passed, and I Joined the Mannings at Lausanne, on Lake Geneva. When Mlaa Manning came into the room where I waited for her I stood mute with astonishment Her Titian hair bad turned into a dart brown, like her eyebrows. "Ton are surprised at my appear ance," she said. "Let me explain. Before leaving America I bad Buffered from a ferer. On recovering my hair came out rapidly, and I bad It shaved shortly before I sailed. I ordered a wig of a color to match my eyebrowa, but before it was sent home I tried on one belonging to grandma. It was so becoming that I determined to wear If In a twinkling my enthrallment waa gone. The young lady saw the change in my features, which were expressive of my feelings, and looked disappoint ed.

The fact must be admitted that America's athletes must be superior to those representing other countries, and our representatives will have to win by comfortable margins to be awarded the verdicts. Another thing which must be watched Is the team work, which is liable to be used on the Yan kee athletes In the different events. especially the track contests. It Is almost certain that these ath letes will be selected to compete In Sweden: Sullivan selected F. I (Tex) Ramsdell of the University of Penn sylvania for the 100 yard dash. R. C.

He used to talk a great deal about them, and I thought that had It Ut beeu for my misfortune bad he met me In the gay work! he would have spoken of me In the same way. My duties were to take care of the tittle children who bad outy. begun to learn. I waa something, but uot much better than a nurse. Mrs. Woodward waa taken dowu with typhoid fever.

At the bottom a light was flaabed la my face, and a man's voice called gruffly: t "I want the valoables!- I waa always a timid girl, but in this case my mistress' condition con quered fear.

I must think quickly. Wht put the plsn I adopted Inte my head I know not. It came like a flnh. Rolng Nick into my mistress' room, I begin to trim the gas up -and down, ; finally turning It out sa If by mistake. "Oh. dear." I snld. "how unlncky! And I don t know where there are matches." While I pretended to be hunting for the mstches I was gathering some val uable Jewels that I knew were kept In drawer of the bureau. Taking them and picking np the box In which the eltrer was kept. J went downstairs. The burglar was waiting for me. He turned his light on what 1 brought him and remarked that there was a good lot of swsg. Then he ordered me Into the kitchen' and. tsktng a clothesline hanging against the wall, tied me to a heavy table. In vain I begged him to let me go to my mis tress. "Oh. nor ha said. "You'd call the police." ne went sway, and I began at once, trying to free myself. My Joints were very supple, and I soon slipped my hands out of the rope, sfter which It was no great work to free myself. Taking up the gruel that waa on the range, I went bark to my mistress and, relighting the gas, gave her what she would take of tt. Then, telling her to try to get some sleep, I went down stairs to the telephone and reported the robbery to the police. Fortunately the burglar had not had time to get to a place of safety with his swag, and by communicating quickly with all wie policemen within range he was captured. The next morning when I told Harry and Lncy what had occurred they were beside themselves with terror till I reached the end. when Lucy sank down Into a chnlr and Harry-well. I shall never forget the look Harry gave me. Just then there was a ring at the tele phone, and the police reported that the robber had been taken with Jewels nd silverware. Mrs. Woodward recovered, and the doctor said that I had certainly ssred her life, nrfrfy Woodward had noth ing more to say about the girls he met In society.' When he entered upon his profession he married me. and I was once more In the circle to which I be longed and from that day to this hava lived a happy life. . ' ' .
