"You Know where to put his high

"Yes; yes, sir," said Angus.
"And when the soldiers are gone
pnjt midnight have the chaise nt some

"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.
"lie has gone." said I. stating the
obvious situation, for we heard the
clatter of their hoofs.
"Yes. gone- gone. Hut the prlucei"
"I l ine ordered the chaise," said I.
"What of thatV shr said, looking at
me with eager eyes.
"I shall drive him to Scrniouth -to
Master Towuley's."
"Master Towuley's! You mean you'll
arou-e Master Townley If he be
there."
"lf Master Towuley's sloop, the Hen
rietta Maria, be there, I'll have him

Prance. Hut Hetty'"
"Yesr
"Your eyes, yourself, partly brought

"Will," she wild, crossing to nie and
putting her hands on my shoulder,
"that may be so. lie has told me so
much. Hut I would not listen, believe
me."
There lay that In her eyes persuading

said I.
"Don't you know, Will?" and she
added "You have made tue surrender

"To?" I Insisted.
"To you, Will Itniston. Would you
have a maid say all?"
I saved her saying more. I said much;
much that had to do with her future
and mine. Then at last we went In to
Hie prince, whom Angus brought back
lie looked from Hetty to me.
"The chaise. Angus'"
"In the lane back of the stables," he
said.
"You will drive us," I said. "'TIs bet
ter that way."
"Yes, sir," he said, going out.
Then the prince said:
"I am to go with you. Mr. Hal-tonV"
"With me. jour highness."
"I.ady Hetty." he said, "tell your
brother 1 have been here; that I have
seen my coming was a fooIKh whim. 1
tettirn to Prance -If that be possible. I
can't risk the peace of you all for my
whim to be here."
He raised her hand to his Hps. i'er
haps her emotion held her lips. I s.i-a

'1 nm ready. Mr. Ualston." he bald to
nie.
I took my hat and led without a
word, Ids steps clanking behind me,
out of a little side door Into the open,
where was a- spit of rain. The chaise
stood ready in the little darkened lane.
l'he winds soughed In the tree tops like
dirge for him and his cause. Angus
looked down on us from his place In
Ihe saddle. The prince stepped In, I
rave the direction, and we went on our
way to Scrniouth. both of us silent.

A CREDIT CHECK SWINDLE.

That there Is no end to the ways of
Imposing upon the suffering New York
public was Illustrated by the failure
of u small store recently. 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. So far the receiver has been
unable to compensate them for their
loss through the swindle which. Ill Its
way, was rather neat. New York Sun.

It was whispered III Washington that
as the Montague llrowns were not
as rich as other members of the smart
set they had to practice economy
where It did not show. Hut tonight
there was certainly no hint of econo
my anywhere. There wcro strawber
ries, hothouse giown, and terrapin nud
canvasback duck, though both wcro
exorbitant lu the market. Tho hand
some tablecloth had been ruthlessly

Mrs. Monlagiio lliown, young, pret
ty and ambitious, smiled a smile of
niro pleasure. She retlcctcd compla
cently that she had captured n cabinet
iilllcer for ibis dinner. The conversa
tion was bowling along smoothly, and
she leaned forward to listen. The
guest of honor was speaking:
"And still I Insist that no woman
can do society all tho time without
neglecting her household and children."
"Not at all," smiled Mis. Montague.
"I think I can persuade you to tho
contrary If you"- She paused, observ
ing that he was staring with wide
open eyes at the doorway. A tiny,
half clad tlgure stood there.

Little Harry was very fond of sweet
things to eat, snd especially of pud
dings, which were his favorite dessert.
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

Iteiijuiuln West's picture of the
"Death of Nelson" Is closely connected
with an anecdote of the great sailor,
.lust before he went to sea for tho last
time he was present at a dinner, dur
ing which he sat between the artist
nud Sir William Hamilton. Nelson was
expressing to Hamilton his regret that
he lnul not. In his youth, acquired some
tasto for mi and some discrimination
In Judging It. "Ilut." wild he, turning
lo West, 'there Is one picture whose
power I tlo feel. I never pass a shop
wiiero your 'Death of Wolfe' Is In tho
window without being stopped by It."
West made some gracious answer to
tho compliment, and Nelson went on,
"Why hnvo you painted no more like
II?"
"Ilecauso, my lord," West replied,
"there are no uioro subjects."
"Ah," said ihe sailor, "I didn't think
of that."
"Hut. my lord," continued West. "1
nm afraid your Intrepidity will yet
furnish mo with another such scene,
nnd If It should I shall certainly nvall
myself of It."
"Will you?" wild Nelou-"wlll you,
Mr. West? Then I hope I shall die lu
ihe next balllel"
A few days later he willed, hli
strangely cj pressed aspiration was re
alized, and the sccno II vou upon can

Dr. Coiuin Doyle tells this story of a
Iloer and an Kngllsh soldier who lay
wounded side by sldo on the field ot
buttle: "They had a personal encoun
ter, In which the soldier received n bul
let wound nud the burgher a bayonet
thrust before they both fell exhausted
on the Held. The llrltlsher gave the
Iloer n drink out of Ids tlask, and the
burgher, not to tie outdone In courtesy,
handed a piece of biltong In exchange.
In the evening, when their respective
ambulances camo to carry theni off to
the hospital, they exchanged friendly
greetings. 'Ooodby, mate,' said the
soldier. 'What a blessing It Is wo met
each other!' "
