I.ynne (glancing at th spars

tl.it la tbe end, and we have another
season to our credit.
Mine. d'Avlla To our debit rather.
Another failure! The third this year,
counting Spa and Houlnte.
I.ynne It Isn't my fault, I am sure.
T hure done the linpoaailile, almoit, to

Mine. d'Avlla My dear. I had perfect
confidence In your ability to tame the
worst of them after marriage. Hut
we never got that far!
I.ynne And we never shall, with
vour svstcm. Your Ideas are too
itrand. You aim too high.
Mine. d'Avlla Oh. I admit that I
made a sad mistake, but there Is no
use in quarreling about It now. It is
time for action. Something must be
dune at once. You saw our bank slat

I.ynne He is not bad looking, at all

much better than your old cripples,
Hut, perhaps, as you .know nothing

financially.
Mine. d'Arlla Well, It is Uie Uat

Mine. d'Avlla (after the conventional
civilities- have been exchanged) Are
thry still playing ill the card room?
De Sailly I think so. It Is almost
the only tiling left.
Mine. d'Avlla I feel a mad longing
to hazard a few bulls. Allow me to

De Sutlly No, her confiding you to
my care.
I.ynne You will be a faithful
guardian, I trust?
De Sailly-Oh. the honesty of the
guardian, you know, depends upon
the value of the treasure.
I.ynne (ostentatiously chungiug the
subject) -Have you been here long?
De Sailly Let me see. Ten days

I.ynne Which grand duke.'
De Sailly Come! lull spoke of goa-

Lynne (flattered) Oh! witn a
cousin of the emperor! How absurd.
Ilrsides, to speak frankly, his royal
highness is rather mill ore. No. 1
Km one of those rare una peculiar
women who do not believe lu mar
riage without love.
De Sailly Then you ought not to
have interrupted my paradox, os you
called it.
I.ynne Were you going to speak of
love? It Is easy to talk about, but
difficult to demonstrate.
De Sailly Meaning that you woultl
not have been convinced by my demonstration?
I.ynne Even If I bad been con
vinced I could not with propriety.
considering the shortness of our ac
quaintance, have confessed that the
demonstration was ngreeable.
De Sailly (siully) What a pity it is!
I.ynne What is?
De Sailly That one's wild dreams

especially after what I am going to
tell you but since you wish proofs,
I will make two avowals. The sec

first.
I.ynne (coquettlshly)-Ilegin with
the second, then.
De Sailly It is not bo easy or bo
pleasant as the other, and the fact
that I make It shows bow strongly
you have Interested me. Your words
of encouragement have iniidn me re
flect that I was on the point of acting
very dishonorably anil I cannot so
act toward you. (Speukliig with ef
fort.) Except that I urn a mnii ot
honor within the meaning of the
code, I am In no respect what I up
jiear or profess to be.
I.ynne (amazed) How?
De Sailly My name Is not De Sail
ly, but Marnier. 1 have no estates,
no yacht, no fortune. I uni a poor
man, my only heritage buing a few
thousand francs which I am squan
dering as economically as possible in
places where heiresses congregate, in
the hope of finding one credulous
enough or siifllciently in love with
me to murry me. There Is my honest
confession. 1 hope you will pardon
my former words, which were simply
professional falsehoods.
I.ynne- Why do you tell me this?
De Sailly Because and this is the
first avowal, which you would have
last because I love you.
I.ynne Since this morning?
De Sailly I loved you at first sight.
have loved you a little more every
time I have mat you, and I have tried
to meet you every day. Hut in love
I am a skeptic, almost an atheist, and
that I have dared to tell you my love
shows how completely it bus mas
tered me. This is, perhaps, the first
time iii my life that 1 have acted up
rightly. Do not be too angry with
nie.
Lynne (much affected, dreamily)
You are-right. It is a pity.
De Sailly -That we are now so far
apart?
Lynne No, but that we are too
near together. I am in the snine po

Did it ever occur to you whin some

been broken, how often it is a woman
that breaks it?
"This was a young woman, a New
Kngland school-teacher by the name of
Mildred Wicks. She had bci n invited to
pay a visit to two elderly maiden
aunta who lived on the outskirts of an
old town in the central part of Vir
ginia, where I began the practice of
medicine. The houre was one of those
three-storied southern colonial Mruc
tures with broad verandas and fluted
eoluiniKi the entire height of tlie front,
from the left, in I lie rear, tin re i x tend
ed a considerable wiuir which, in lome
former period of piosprrity. h:id been
given over to the guest chambers, but
which now for years had been little
used.
"By some misunderstanding the
young woman arrived Just a wet k ear
lier than she was expected, to find her
mint's- house in the inldi-t of pr. pnra-
tory hoiLseeleaiiing. It coneeqn iitlv
became necessary, until the rm.ni in
the main part of the house could be
prepared for her to put her in one of
the wiiiL' chambers, anil in one i. f ttu se.
on the third floor, she nits iliily in

irone out of fashion nowaday, even in

It was arranged, neverthelt s.s. ih.ii tli
housekeeper, who ordinarily slip! i
the main division of the house, siicnld
occupy, that night, a chamber adjoin
ing the visitor's for the mike of com-
ia nv.
"At bedtime, however, an unexpected
difficulty arose. It was suddenly
memnered that the keys to both the
young woman's and the housekeeper's
chamber hud been missing for a num
ber of years, and the doors were also
unprovided with inside bolts. I he only
duplicate keys were in the honsi kci p
er's bunch held together by u solid
brass ring, from which they could he
removed only by breaking or Hling the
brass ring. Leaving the young wom
an's door entirely unsecured was. of
course, not to be thought of. The
housekeeper finally proosiil that she
should lock thedoor for the night from
the outside, taking the keys- with her
into her own room and unlocking it
nirain early in the morning. The win
dows of the -li ii in Iter being three
stories from the ground there was no
possibility of Intrusion from that
source, and should the housekeeper's
presence be needed nl any time during
the night it needed only a few vigor-
our raps on the wall to summon her.
The young woman found no objection
to this plan, and the hous-ckceer, after
bidding her good night, went out and
loeketl the door after her.
"Left to herself, the young woman,
tired from her Journey, lost no time in
undressing and getting into bed. and
once in hed it was a very few moments
until she was sound asleep. The next
she knew she found herself sitting up
staring out into the room. How long
she had been asleep she could not tell;
hours, she thought, since there had
been no moon when she tint! gone to
bed and it now shone In her window
from well up in the sky.
"Then with a start it came to her
that she had not svvakeneil naturally;
that there had been some sort of
noise. She ccred around the room
but could see nothn.g alarming, am:.
save for the sound of the insects, the
niifht was aa ouiet as the grave. So
finally she lay down again and in a few
mono ntswas half-way in a ilor.r. Then

young woman clutched the bed clothes
ami tried to pierce the darkness. Hut
she could dis-tilik'ilisli oli.l the vague
outline of a crouching form. The clink
ing, gurgling sounds, however, coutin
lied, and then suddenly she heart! the
clank of a chain being dragged arcing
the floor.

carelessness. There was a mni--farm
some eight miles ftoui our town, ami a
miserable pauper, having gone viuleut
lv insane, they knew noihinr lutti r to
tio with him than chain him in an out
house iiuil treat him like a ihingc i-ou
animal. You can imagine, or rather,
yon can't imagine, theelTtci on both
his oci-soua! apiearaiii-e and on his dis-
ense. One afternoon he i scapi il. carry
ing part of his chain with him. ami in
his wanderings reached the elderly
aunt's house, which stood oh n in the
midst of house cleaning. Atir.u-tid bv
the coolness insult- he had crept up
into the tdd wing, where he hail- en
tered one of tht chambers ami hid
den in the great tirepltiee, anil olic
to sleep. The light of the voung vw-ni-tm's
candle that night hail roused him,
ind his journeys round the wall were
mere animal instinct searching for an
exit.
"They called for him the same morn
ing, and 1 saw the poor devil w ht n t hey
foiiiid him Iviug up there in the ii.om.
It is a sob inn fact that his canines
projected an inch In-low his upper lip.
He didn't hav e on enough rairs to cover
the backs of a man's two hands, anil
his hair and beard nud skin had been
indescribably uiisii-ed, ai-d the poor
wretch was in the last st.-.es of con
sumption. Hut his nielli's advt ntnre
proved not such a bail thing for him,
for he died two weeks later in compar
ative comfort. Put the manager of
that poor-farm had no such easy i it
from the troubles w hich overtook him."
