"What nonsense, Jennie! As If I attend it!" She received an answer by return of post. The pointed handwriting iu which the letter was written was of the style prevalent about 40 years ago. "An old maid! Look at the writ­ ing!" cried Janetta triumphantly, as she opened the envelope. "There is a modern brevity about it,"' said Neville, peeping over her shoulder. "Read it out, there's a dear."

"And, failing this, what do you pro­ pose to do?" asked Neville lazily. "Anything that offers," replied Jan­ etta quickly, resuming her search through the paper.

J "I shall send her my prettiest photo, v Neville," she said, after her brief self ," survey. "You don't even know the sex of g v the advertiser. It may be a widower ^ » advertising darkly for number two," suggested her brother. Janetta laid down her pen. in some §t?,T; "I don't care," she said; "I shall write and send my photo and refer «nces. The answer will tell us all About it. I think it's a very rich old maid, with a poodle and a parrot first quarter if we find we get on to gether. Will you come for a month and see how you like it, beginning on Monday?

"Believe me, faithfully yours, "(Miss) Clarice Seymour." Janetta and her brother burst into simultaneous laugh when she finished the letter. "Either the woman is a lunatic or it's a hoax," said Neville. "I'll go and see for myself. It's too good an opening to miss. Sixty pounds a year for doing nothing, apparently. No mention even of the poodle or the parrot Anyhow, it's a genuine place; I've looked it out in the 'Gazetteer.'" Thus it came to pass that, on the Monday following, Janetta and Neville paced up and down Paddington sta­ tion together, both their hearts too full of the approaching separation to trust themselves to speak of it. Instead, they talked of trivlalties, watched the other passengers as they hurried down the platform to the train, commenting idly upon them. "Look, Neville! what a handsome man that is getting into the first-class carriage not far from my humble third. If he were a girl, and applied for my situation, I should not have a chance, should I? He's so very good looking!" • The man in question turned, as if he had heard the remark, glancing at the brother and sister, who had come to a halt before the carriage in which Janetta had placed her rugs. The glance was but momentary. He ' signed to the porter, who followed him, to hand in his belongings, jumped into the carriage, and closed the door. "I believe he heard you, Jennie," said Neville quickly. "If he did it can't matter. We «i»*ii never meet again, and it can't be the first time that he's heard he's good looking," said Janetta, with a little laugh. "Oh, Neville, I must get in! I don't know how to say good-by. I will write tonight. Good-by. dear; good-by. Jump in a minute, I must kiss you; and you'll keep steady, for my sake?" The last words were said in a whis­ per. '"All rifcht, don't bother!" said Ne­ ville, horribly ashamed of the fact that there were tears in his eyw. ^ W 'i MA b9n llmlM were whole and soOnA. The carriage was Jerked off the ||tt| and 'was pitched half over on its IkSit and the struggles of others to trie themselves were beginning to be tin* pleasantly felt when, from her kneel­ ing posture, Janetta caught a gltnp«t of the man whom she had se«f get* ting into the first-class carriage a lit­ tle beyond her own at Paddington. "Hallo!" he said, with a pleasant smile, "You seem to want help here. Don't *be frightened; I don't think there is much harm done, barring the smashing up of a carriage or so. No, no! don't struggle behind there! Ladies first, please. I must help you out through the window, as the door is jammed, and beware of broken glass." "The child first," said Janetta, with quivering lips, who had laid hold of the little frightened heap that had been propelled right under the seat opposite to her own. "Hand her out, please!" cried the man, depositing the child high up on the bank near by. "She's scared out of her wits, as well she may be. Now give me your hands, and place your feet on the handle of the door; I'll keep you steady as you climb through and lift you out" Janetta obeyed every direction swiftly and deftly. With her arm about the child, Janet­ ta sat and watched the strange scene with dazed, bewildered eyes. The huge engine, which had run off the line, stood half embedded in the bank at the side, snorting and puffing as if in­ dignant at finding himself in such an ignominious position. Men with scared faces hurried hither and thither; women stood in groups along the line, sobbing in helpless ter­ ror. The mother of her little charge lay stretched at full length on the grass close by, borne thither by the strong arms of her rescuer, who seemed al­ most the only man who kept full pos­ session of his senses, except a fair- faced, fair-haired young doctor, who hastened forward towards the pros­ trate figure, kneeling by her and feel­ ing her pulse with professional calm. "Painted, that's all," he said, look­ ing up at the man by his side. Then a quick glance of recognition passed over his features. "Why, Merivale, you here?" he exclaimed. "On your way to the George, I suppose?" From a certain hardening of the voice Janetta gathered that, for some reason unknown, the fair-haired doc­ tor did not like the handsome stranger, whose fine physique and pleasant bear­ ing seemed so attractive to herself. (To be continued.) m By OMR and 50c. W 8 CHAPTER II." In a few minutes more the train was puffing slowly from the station, and Janetta, who had craned her neck from the carriage to obtain a farewell smile from Neville, sank back into her cor­ ner, with plenty of time before her in which to consider her prospects and her fellow travelers. The latter were singularly uninter­ esting, with the exception of a little girl not more than two years old, who sat just opposite Janetta, regarding her with thoughtful eyes. "Pretty," she said presently, stretch­ ing out her arms to come to her. And Janetta, with a reassuring nod to the mother, stood the child by the window and talked to her for the first hour, />nly handing her back to her natural guardian when the little thing was tired out, and showed signs of drop-' ping off to sleep. A glance at her watch told her that she could not be many miles from her destination, and she looked out of the window to notice the sort of country through which they were traveling, fancying that in the fast-fading light of the February afternoon she could catch the shimmer of the sea in the distance. The thought had scarcely framed it­ self before she was conscious of a curious swaying to and fro in the car­ riage, then a shivering vibration ran along the train as if the brake had been applied with unwonted force; and, be­ fore she could do more than read the awful alarm that was written upon the faces of her fellow travelers, there came a crash and a total cessation of movement. The earth itself seemed tottering under her, and she was thrown from her seat to the floor. She was too stunned for a few minutes to realize in the least what had happened; but when at last able to collect her senses, she knew that there must have been an accident, the nature and character of which she was incapable of gaug­ ing. The air was alive with sounds more or less distressing--the hissing of the engine, the shouts of the engine driver, the piercing shrieks of women, and close to her, making, itself heard above the din, the pitiful, frightened wail of a little child. "Poor little dear! it must be the little child I was talking to," said Janetta, trying to raise herself on to her knees so as to see better what had happened to her fellow travelers, : , TITLES FOR SALE. - ¥m May Also AHinlre a tlaa of fatbto Anveatnn. Would you like to be a -baron, vi- comte, comte or marquis? Nothing ia easier (if you have the price), and it is not such an expensive luxury, even though an ancient pedigree is thrown in with the title. For $2,000 you may become a baron, for $4,000 a vicomte, for $6,000 a comte. What is more, if you buy in the right market you will have letters patent from a European government attesting the genuineness of your title and descent. It is the no­ bility of old Spain that is thus acces­ sible to the stranger with a fat purse. A circular marked "confidential" is be­ ing sent out by an agent in Paris to newly rich people in America and Eu­ rope. It does not elicit many re­ sponses from Americans, who are con­ scious of the ridicule they would en­ counter in their own country if they sported titles; but Europeans of recent fortune take the bait eagerly, and the 1900 crop of barons and counts has been large. If you call at the agency in Paris you are received by a gentle­ manly individual whose manner in­ spires confidence. After explaining to you that every person has such a mob of ancestors that it would be a miracle if a count or even a king did not slip in somewhere among them, he will ex­ hibit the volumes of reference bound in red morocco and containing royal warrants of Spain delivered by the of­ ficial at Madrid, who has charge of all matters of heraldry, and countersign­ ed by three court officials. By means of one of these certificates any one may become the acknowledged descendant of the proudest Castilian grandees. Through the influence of a partner in Madrid the name of the aspirant is entered on the roles of the Spanish no­ bility, and that settles it But the ac­ complished agent does more than this for your money. If you are a French­ man he procures the seal of the French embassy for your warrant of nobility, and he claims that the seals of the German and Austrian embassies are equally at his command.

When Mrs. Russell Sage made her appearance at the dinner of the May­ flower society one evening recently it was a matter of comment, says the New York Times. She is not a woman who gets away from her home after the evening shadows fall, as a rule. But she and "Uncle Russell" renewed their youth, and not only sat out the dinner, but through the long speech- making that followed. This is the one evening of dissipation that Mrs. Sage allows herself during a year. She en­ ters into its enjoyment with all the zest of her younger associates in this organization of Puritan descendants, and ma*es the most of this red-letter evening of her year.
