Wilfrid Stennis felt that he bad really come Into hla king dom. At once he did something for which he always thanked his good angel In after years He rode uptown to Tiffany's, and selecting for Eunice a marquise ring composed of opals and diamonds, drew hla first check to pay for It a—check that ran Into four fat ! figures. "It's tbe first of the money I've *d. touch« dearest." he said as be plac« *d tbe ring on her Anger above the lit tle engagement token she already wore Ail tears and happy smiles, the girt threw her arms about bla neck, exclaiming: "Nothing you could have done would have pleased me more, you dear, thoughtful fellow * It Is far too hand some for me, but I shall always love It and wear it." In tbe ensuing early days Wilfrid was mors than a little perplexed as to wbat changes he should make In bla mode of life He soon discovered wbat was evidently expected of him through an avalanche of circulars from house agents, tailors, haberdash ers. florists, cigar and wine merchanta. picture dealers, borse marts, and car- r'age manufacturers, all bespeaking his custom and patronage, to say noth ing of begging letters by the gross Even a so-called College of Heraldry offered to furnish a crest and a coat of arms—for a stiff consideration In cash. His boarding house became simply unendurable on tble account and be cause of tbe notoriety he had already gained Bo by Eunice's advice be vent to a good hotel, "until be could settle himself In a suitable suite of bachelor apartments," she added. "But what do I want with a bache lor apartment? *' he asked In wonder. "What I would like to do Is to get married at once, and then ws can look about for a proper house." To this proposition she demurred resolutely, nor could he dislodge ber. The utmost concession he found It possible to extort was that she would marry him In a year from that time— It he asked her Pressed for a rea son. she at first sheltered herself be hind the feminine "because," but. driven Into a corner at last, said that she wished him to enjoy hla freedom under the new conditions; that he must go Into gay society and see tbe world; she would not think of tying him down—and much more to tbe I same effect Finding the girl Immovable, and. moreover, tacitly confirmed In her de cision by wise old John Trevecca. Wil frid rather ruefully took ber counsel as to tbe bachelor suite. In the se lection of this and many other neces •ary adjuncts to bla new environment he found Mr. Bnsasvant's advice of great assistance. Phlneaa Carboy having returned to Ran Francisco. "Everything depends upon tbe man ner tn which you start out. my dear boy." said hla portly mentor with a return to the paternal manner. "In your position you cannot afford to ally yourself with anything but the very beat, from your shoemaker to your visiting list. You must have a man. of course, and a secretary; send the applicants to me; 1 will sift them for you. You should have at least two equipages for town uno—« han som and a brougham, with suitable horses for saddle and harness. Do you ride or drive, Mr. Stennis?" No, Mr. Stennis neither rode nor drove; In fact, he knew or cared very little about horsea. "Ah, then, there my daughter can be of service; she Is accounted a very fine horsewoman and one of the best judges of horseflesh In the city. But you young people can talk that over together. You will naturally take an Intereat In all gentlemanly sports— every man of means and leisure docs; but It will do no harm If you are positively Identified with some particular pastime, even to tbe extent of making It a fad. May I Inquire what Is your favorite diversion?" "Yachting, by all means.” said Wil frid. "Excellent! Could not be better!" exclaimed Mr. Pasaavant. "None but a man of large resources can—ah— Indulge in yachting to any extent" "I am thinking of building a boat" •aid Wilfrid diffidently. "Wbat would you advise?" "Tbe very thing, my boy; engage the most expensive designer and the moot famous builder, and your repu tation Is mad«. An excellent notion -ah!" '■Really, my dear." said tbe lawyer In narrating this little Chesterfleldlan episode to Clara. "1 begin to have hopes of young Stennis; he Is most tractable and receptive to—ah—sen sible Ideas." So It came about that tbe rathar <• ‘W . 4» UX -t .> A ta . ’ ** . >: blase Clara anticipated with no little Interest her first meeting with tbe new man Hlcnnls nad never before owned • visiting card or donned a drvsscoat. but when be stepped forward to greet her.

But be committed no ao'erlstns; he took wine sparingly; bls little errors might even have been ascribed to a some what different geographical environ ment by those not cognizant of bis social pedigree "He will do!" thought Clara Pne savant, and put forth all ber mature powers to fascinate and dazzle her father's guest—In which alm she com ph-tely succeeded, for there '» nothing more dangerous to a young man s peace of mind than a beautiful, well- gowned. and well mannered woman of the world In full evening attire.

Word comes from Colmensr, Rpaln, which Is less than 2u miles from Madrid, of an interesting discovery of burled treasure, concealed by bucca neers during the eighteenth century A workman who was digging on the site of a ruined castle near the town unearthed a number of old Hpanlab gold and stiver coins He reported bls discovery to hie employer and a systematic search was made In tbe castle ruins. After laying hare the foundations of the castle, which date from the time of the Moorish occupation, the ex plorers uncovered a dungeon which had been carefully sealed by the buc caneers. In thia apartment, the walls of which were of extraordinary thick ness, were two rusted Iron chests filled with treasure. The contents of the chests were carefully examined by experts, who be lieve that they form part of the booty obtained from ships captured more than 150 years ago Old Spanish and Portuguese money formed tbe bulk of the treasure, bqt fnany gold and silver ornaments. Including vases, jewelry and ecclesiastical plate, were also contained In the chests The excava tions continue under government su pervision. A Fresh Start.
