"And when the soldiers are gone pnjt midnight have the chaise nt some quiet spot - past midnight." "Yes; yes. sir," said Angus. "1 thank you. Mr. ItaNton," the prince said, giving me his hand. nnd. turning, he followed Angus, his cloak swaying from his shoulders, his whole frame showing his race. and. nlas. lie had that race's frailties. Then I turned and went Into the great hall where Hetty was talking with Captain Hrolsen. l'or a moment as 1 looked at her, my Jealousy return ed. She was talking to the captalu lightly; women were the Invetitois of the art of play acting. Hrolsen was apologetic, hat in hnud, his red coat vivid In the light of the caudles of the hall. "Absurd, absurd, Captalu Hrolsen!" my cousin was crying. "Yes. I see 'twas absurd," said he. "And I. my lady, will take It uu my self to state that I so found It." He bowed deeply to her and to me and' with another low Inclination left us. As he went out Hetty sank with n cry on to a divan. "I couldn't have endured It another moment." she said, looking at inc.

The newly appointed receiver was surprised by having many women come to his otllco with credit checks. These checks were for small amounts, rouging from $1 to $10. At llrst the receiver couldn't un derstand It, but upon Investigation he learned the details of ii pretty system of fleecing. The firm. It seems, had made a spe cialty of silk and cotton shirt waists. These were, with few exceptions, shapeless. 111 lilting garments, and when the unfortunate women shoppers got home with their purchases and put them on they were disgusted to find that the bargain wile wnlsts were baggy and puckery and nltogether so poorly fashioned that It would be next to Impossible to make them tit even by a complete tipping up and remaking. Such being the conditions they Invariably took the goods back and demanded other wnlsts or their money. It was contrary to the prln clples of the firm to refund money.' and as they seldom had waists more becoming either in style or shnpo than the ones returned, they were driven to the etreinlty of credit cheeks. "We will get lu a new supply of waists In a few days," was the suave assurance of the manager and his well trained assistants. "Your check will be good at any time, and when we replenish our stock you can select u waist that suits you." Hut the new stock never arrived, and lu spite of the good dollars received from deluded customers without de creasing their capital of waists, the Him became Insolvent and then the women began to come with credit checks.

Accordingly his dinners were made a burden to lilm, since his parents per sisted that he must make his meals off the substantial and leave what Harry called the good things until last. Ono day while Harry's nostrils were tickled with the tantalizing odors or his most favored pudding a scheme was born In his brain that points his way to future greatness. When his mother put before him a plate of meat and potatoes he eyed It a moment In apparent ecstasy; then, shoving It re gretfully away, he said: "I declare that looks so good I guess I'll leave It till the very last thing nnd gut rid of that pudding Hrstl" What to Hat.
