I would- dawdle listlessly no more about Castle Drout; no more lie on the heath making idle dreams, as I had been doing since my meeting with-Mistress Rosemary Al- lyn. My blood ran like fire through my veins as though I had drunk a tankard full of fiery Chianti, such as the good oia Knights of Long Haut kept for their guests. I was drunk with enthusiasm and desire--for Lon­ don. Aye, London--London was the fetich before which my eyes were set in adoration.. Ixmdon--the place Where I had for the moment forgot­ ten it-- a bride awaited me an I chose. - I was so taken with these amorous thoughts that I heeded hot where I was going, and so I ran into Gil who was coming round the Manor wing. The suddenness of the collision near­ ly knocked us both over. "Well!" I exclaimed as he caught me roughly by the shoulder. "Ah, you!" he laughingly said as he loosened me. "Better look where you are going methinks " "Better look yourself, methinks," I mockingly retorted. "Lord Waters wishes to see you," he said, now soberly. "You have news for me?" I asked "Out with it." "I thought so--bad news follows- quick apafce; one smells it in the very air--you and I are to go to London," he admitted. "To London! Bad news! You have made a mistake in the word, old fel low," I replied with a laugh at his face. Things were coming my way without the lifting of a finger--good enough. "I always say what I mean and mean what I say. Wait and see," he returned. "You are jealous--Jealous because you are to be separated from the old lord, and Noel no doubt left at home to serve him, whilst you follow the. ; mean fortunes of the young lord," I said with mock humility. "Jealous of Noel?" he shouted back. "Not I. Lord Waters knows that my right arm is abler than Noel's in the i getting of young lords out of scrapes --trust my lord for remembering his own youth. 'Sdeath! Noel would be lost in London--1 say it takes a man of strength, strength of muscle and i of head, to tread that hell-raky place. Lord Waters would have kept me at home an he had needed me. Why, damme! I served him when a slip ot a boy, like you, I no better before he went to Granada. Aye, 1 served him before a woman made a mess of his life, although, thank God! I was not from the trysting place across the brook into the linden tree as you once did." "Yes, that is my one consolation,11 he said, with no lightening of the eye, but I knew that he was as delighted and excited as I was myself, despite his years. "I shall slip off some fifty pounds or more. There is nothing so good for limbering up a fat, man as the looking after young sparks." "1*11 try to help you to ease your­ self to the best of my ability," I re­ turned graciously. "There may be a little pleasureable excitement for you, even with young lords." "Pleasureable!" he echoed. "That's how one looks at it. I doubt me not but that where there are swashing petticoats there will be mischief enough brewed to "suit even the blase palates of the young." , "Yes, no doubt this will bring us some excitement," I said with a "chuckle, as 1 put my hand into my pocket to produce the slip of paper I had earned at the gambling table. I intended to recall to his mind that the few words inscribed there should give us endless sport. My pocket was empty! The paper was gone! "What is the matter?" "Matter--matter enough," I replied as I searched through my pockets, strewing the ground with their con­ tents. "Evidently," he said. "You look as if you had lost a father or an equally near relative." "I have," ! acknowledged with a grim chuckje; "a hearer--a wife." No doubt my ruddy color did change--I was* startled at first and then vexed as I saw my frolic in London dwindle away. "What!" he yelled. "You have lost the paper won at Arnold Lodge?" "I have.v, I again admitted slowly. "But you need not shout it to the world--besides Lord Felton is a gen­ tleman of honor." "Gentlemen of honor are rare birds these days," he interrupted: "And--why need he know that I have it not?" I finished my sentence. "That I take it those Londoners will not be long in finding out," he said. While Gil tramped up and down, 1 sat down on a bench and tried to think. I had not lost it upon the ride homeward, of that I was certain; for when I went to pay the maid for the slipper at Castle Drout I had felt it in my pocket. No doubt it had fallen out on the floor when I had thrown my coat upon the chair after stripping for the duel, or it might be that the thieving maid had picked my pocket, I cared not a jot for it--did not a pair of blue eyes hold me? Yet, it was my letter of credit; with it I could levy for pleasure and excite- J 1 "You have new* for met" I asked. $1 V 4w> with him at the time, being called home by a dying father. I could many a tale relate an I would." He concluded, and as waa usual with him when he touched upon any inci­ dent in my father's life he shut up as tight as an oyster in its shell. It was strange to be called a slip of a boy by Gil. True as years went I was when compared with him, but six feet two and corresponding breadth and muscle count for some­ thing. Gil was dwarfish in' stature, with arms so long they almost swept the ground when he walked stooping slightly forward. The strength in his arms and hands was something pro­ digious. He could hang from the limb of a tree and swing far out by rocking his body, propel himself into another tree, there catching a Dranch as eas­ ily as a monkey might. This strength and agility had earned Mm^the name of "The ape" when a youth. His head was massive and set low down oh a bulky body. His face was coyered with hair, arid his mustachio had sweeping ends elaborately curled upward. This style he had caught from a Hidalgo when in Spain. His eyes were grey with infinitesimal pupils. I need cot tell you that his sight was the keenest. He was of 8wiss extraction, and had come to London when a boy to seejc a fortune. There, having saved his life, my fath­ er bound him to him ty the closest tie tiiat can be knotted, the tie of gratitude. We were a striking contrast. I was tall and muscular f not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon me. t wore no hair upon my face; it seemed a filthy habit to me and emanated from a King or fashion leader no doubt, who had an imperfection to hide, as do most of our fashions. "Come," I said, "I'll to Lord Wa­ ters to find put his disposition re­ garding the journey while you see Master Basil about the arrangements. Why, man alive! 1 should think you would welcome the change--you are fairly rusty with inaction. You are beginning to shake, you are getting so pudgy.

What could have induced him to ! marry again after such a dire failure | I know not. Men are inscrutable crea­ tures; no doubt a woman's tender glances made him for the time forget his former disappointment. I was the issue of this second mar­ riage. My mother, a gentle creature, dying in child birth, left Lord Waters " to again face an existence which had slight charm for him. ^ Long Haut was not so many miles from London as the crow flies,' but separated from it by sloughs, rocky hills and morasses. . . The Manor House was built on a steep hill of bowlders taken from the rocky hillside. It was well nigh im­ pregnable, and that perhaps was why in the many changes of Parliament it had been left to the indisputable rights of ( its "original owners, when many other estates changed hands. Only one horse road led to it. It was a road that in fair weather was only fair, but in foul an unapproach­ able way. The wagon must be of strong timber that could even climb to where the bridle path began; but let it rain, and it rained often in that region by the sea, the road became a river of mud. A cart trying to ascend then would be burled up to the hubs and needs be forced to stay there un­ til spring dried up the slough. The Manor was surrounded by many acres of forest, fen, fell and some tillable land. A village which was held in fief of some hundred souls was huddled at its purlieus and gave Lord Waters little obligation. They seemingly rendered him scant service, except at the planting in the spring time, and in the autumn there gsEthered together a motley, half-sav­ age crowd--consisting of men, wom­ en and children--and they ail fell to work at the husking and flailing of the corn. When the work'"was done,, riotous fun began. Flaming torches of tarred pine were -placed at intervals in the open to give light and to piece out the harvest moon. These lent a weird aspect to the glen. A long board was spread with trenchons of steaming beef, huge piles of black bread and other edibles, and about this the people were benched. It did not take them long to lighten the table of its weight of plenty. Hogsheads of strong home-brewed ale helped wash and pack down the beef in the bellies of the men, till they were like taut drawn drum heads that a touch might burst. (To be continued".) DALY READY WITH IMPROMPTU. ment where I pleased among those gilded youths. Without it London would be tame indeed. "Gil, an you love me h&sten to Cas­ tle Drout," I said, "there you will find the paper either on the floor or in the possession of a black-eyed maid. Get it from her by crook or hook, for if it reaches London in her keeping--well, good-bye to a wife-- the belle of London town." «_ I kissed my hand airily. "I see," he began slowiy. "A black- eyed maid--a pale blue satin slipper" --he pointed to it on the ^ground, "a bleeding shoulder--a duel without doubt," he now pointed to my shoul­ der, "the play opens at Long Haut." He*chuckled dryly. "Yes, a duel," I admitted with a grin. "I bid. you keep away from a slender youth. He's an adept with the rapier." "If he has bested you, well I may,' he said. "As for the thieving jade, I'll throttle her." "Get the paper from her before you succumb to her charms," I called after him. He sniffed disdainfully at that, and strode off, resoluteness in his eye Wit of Popular Comedian Shown in Bad Situation. A theatrical manager of New York was talking the other day at the Players about the late Dan D&ly. "No man," he said, "ever had a stronger, finer sense of humor than Daly. In the second act of an old melodrama Daly, in the role of a poacher, was supposed to be killed. A rival poacher, after shooting him, ran off, and the curtain descended on the dead man lying alone in the center of the stage. "The piece was playing in a small town. At the end of the second act Daly was duly shot, and the murderer duly made his eaacape. Something, however, went wrong with the curtain and it did not descend. "It came down to within seven feet or so of the stage, and there it stuck. Then hoarse whispers and frantic or­ ders, given in low, hoarse voices, sounded in the wings. The audience tittered. "Suddenly the dead man rose. He rose wearily. He advanced to. the foot­ lights. " 'No rest even in the grave,' he said, in a sepulchral tone. "Then with his long, thin arms he reached up and pulled the curtain down." Christian,Names Not for Horsia. The practice of naming horses aftei eminent persons is common in Eng­ land and France, but in Russia it is considered disrespectful by some judges of manners. A Russian sports­ man has named a promising filly Elea- nora Duse, as a mark of his esteem for the celebrated actress. He is severely rebuked in the Russian papers. "If this should be tolerated," they say, "we shall be having hqrses called after Tolstoi and other national worthies. Nay, Kourapatkin himself will be saddled or turned out to grass. The censor ought to stop the abuse bf the' names of Christians. Is the holy synod asleep?" A Russian may call his dog Caesar, of Pompey, for they were pagans, and their memory is not revered by members of the orthodox church. But suppose some reckless subject of the czar should call his dog or horse Pobiedonostzeff, what would the holy synod say then? --Condon Chronicle. CHAPTER V. Lord Waters' Message. I went into the house and down a long corridor until I reached the nook known as the library, Her« my fath- er waB wont to spend most of his time. A quiet "herein" came in re­ sponse- to my resounding knock. It dampened my ardor so still was it in contract to my impetuousity, and re­ called most vividly what was on the verge of slipping my mind, that Lord Waters was a wretchedly sick man. His life, as Gil had said, had been ruined by a woman--his first wife. From a gay cavalier about that un­ fortunate King Chiles 1. court, he had become a morose Roundhead. A Roundhead for a short time only, but a morose man ever afterward. It is a matter of history how after leaving the King's side and serving Cromwell at both the battles of Winceby and Marsden, he had as sud­ denly resigned from the army and Not a Champion. A jftrty of friends sitting on the piazza in a neighboring town were discussing the propriety' of playing certain games on Sunday. After a while Mr. Lighthead asked: "Do you think it wrong to play golf on Sunday?" "Well," quickly replied a real friend, WAS CURED_RAPIDLY EHET7MATISM IN TWO SEVERE OASES MASTERED Iff PEW WEEKS. Tin RameAy UaeA by Mr. Schroeppel rad bjr Captain l^lfour in Great Damudls Vicinity ot Their Homes. In the winter of 1902-8 Mr. Sehroeppel was confined to his bed by a severe at­ tack of rheumatism. His doctor's treat­ ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse­ quently regained his health by means which he describes with great enthu­ siasm. "After five or six weeks of helpless­ ness and pain," said he, " during which X was receiving regular visits from the doctor, I felt as had as ever. Just then my mother, a woman eighty years of age, paid me a visit. She had received great benefit from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and she was confident they would help me. At her solicitation I gave up the doctor's treatment and took the pills in its place." : "And were you cured as the result of faking her advice?" "Yes, quickly and thqroughly. Be­ fore the second box was finished I felt very manifest improvement, and within two weeks I was able to leave my bed and take up my neglected farm work. I con­ tinued to use the pills, however, until eight boxes had been taken, although long before that I felt that every ves­ tige of the disease had been eradicated. "Are there no traces left?" "Absolutely none. For a year and three months there has never been the slightest return of the old trouble. For this happy result I and my family freely praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Within the bounds of China township, St. Clair county, Mich., there is no bet­ ter known farmer than Mr. Henry Sehroeppel. His cure has therefore nat­ urally attracted a great deal of attention. One of Mr. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap­ tain George Balfour, after hearing of the salutary results in Mr. Schroeppel's case, decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for an attack of rheumatism from which he was himself suffering. He took eight or ten boxes and now declares himself free from the painful ailment." It is little wonder that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are much in favor in the com­ munity where Mr. Sehroeppel and Cap­ tain Balfour are so well and favorably known. They are sold by all druggists and are equally successful in curing neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis. Casualties to British Vessels. According to tne board of trade re­ turns just issued, 5,765 casualties to British vessels were reported on or near the coasts of the United Kingdom from July, 1902, to June, 1903, an in­ crease of 447 over the preceding year. The number of lives lost was 624, a lower number than In any of the pre­ vious twenty-four years, for which the annual average loss was 1,613. The lives saved from the wrecks of 1903 numbered 2,624.

QIORQE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY 39 'J THE FIRST ELECTION Party Feeling Unknown* with Washington Unanimous Choice of the Country. the Only ten states voted at this first election. New York, although having ratified the constitution- and thereby having the right to vote, lost' this privilege through a bitter contest be­ tween the two branches of her Legis­ lature over the appointment of elec­ tors. There Is no satisfactory record of the number of popular votes cast at this election, nor at any of the suc­ ceeding elections until the year 1824, when Andrew Jackson received 155,- 872 votes; John Quincy Adams, 106,- 311 votes; W. H. Crawford of Georgia, 44,282 votes, and Henry Clay, 46,587 votes. Although the popular vote cast for Andrew Jackson exceeded the number of votes cast for John Quincy Adams by a little more than 50,000, the electoral college gave Adams 16 more votes than Jackson received, and Adams was declared President, to the disappointment and rage of the supporters of Jackson. Washington's cabinet had in it Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Randolph and Timothy Pickering as secretaries of stftte. Pickering was from Massa­ chusetts, and he became secretary of state in December of the year 1795. Alexander Hamilton and Oliver Wolcott served as secretaries of the treasury during Washington's adminis* tratlon, while Henry Knox, Timothy Pickering and James McHenry served at different times as secretaries of war and navy. All was not harmonious in the Pres­ ident's cabinet, peaceful as his elec­ tion had been. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were not the best of friends, and the breach widened as It became more and more apparent that Hamilton had more influence than Jefferson over Washington and was able to bring more things to pass. Washington was as unwilling to re­ ceive his second nomination as he had been to receive the first, and he was anxious to retire from public life, but again his friends made him feel that it was his duty to accept the office. The second campaign, like the first, was without conventions, without nominations, and such a thing as a "platform" on which the party might "stand" was as yet unheard of. But party spirit had made itself felt, and there were Federalists and Anti-Fed­ eralists, to whom the name of Repub­ licans began to be given. But both parties were eager that Washington should remain In office, although there was an effort made to oust John Adams from the vice presi­ dency and to give that office to George Clinton, but Adams was, as is well known, elected for a second term. Party spirit ran high. Indeed it be­ came so violent before the close of Washington's second administration that he might well have wished him­ self back on his peaceful Mt. Vernon farm, leaving behind all the vexatious cares of state that'must be the por­ tion of every President of the United States. MILL GROUND FLOUR FOR WASHINGTONS TROOPS. r'fc- . *1 When Gen. George Washington went Into winter headquarters at Val­ ley Forge In 1777, he had very few grist mills within reach to draw sup­ plies from. About twenty miles north of Valley Forge was fhe Henton grist mill, erected 136 years ago. The ac­ companying photograph represent^ the mill as it stands at the present time. Flour of rye and wheat was ground at this mill, drawn in wagons two miles to the Schuylkill river, and floated down the stream on rafts to Washington's camp. The old mill is still grinding out flour for the farm­ ers and chop feed for their cattle. Washington's Will It was when he found himself bound to accept the charge of the Continental army and to expose him­ self to especial risk of life that Wauh- ington framed his first will. This was done In Philadelphia, with the aid of his friend. Col. Pendleton, and It was enclosed In the one letter to his "Dear Patsy" which escaped her destroying hand. This will was undoubtedly hastily prepared and was probably destroyed, as there is no record to be found of it. Washington's final will, dated July 9, 1799, was prepared altogether by himself, and Is a marvel of clearness and attention to detail and reveals the man as we know him--God fearing, noble and generous. It consists of twenty-nine pages of closely written letter paper, and each page has Wash­ ington's signature at its foot. It Is fully signed, but no witnesses' names are appended to the document, which in every other respect is a model of thought, care and legal correctness. Despite all the changes and chances to which it has been subjected since his death, the will of George Wash­ ington still exists and finds its place in the very spot wherey it was pro­ bated. This cherished heirloom of our greatest American reposes among other valuable Revolutionary archives at Fairfax Court House. It is almost a miracle that Washing­ ton's will is In existence to-day, when we consider the dangers to which it has been subjected. The paper re­ posed in the Court House at Fairfax, until the breaking out of the civil war, when, for what was considered its greater safety, it was carried to Rich­ mond. When the Confederates evac* uated the Virginia capital the will was left to Its fate, and it was .found among other ancient county docu­ ments. r • v i <vi«w« a nrv . viu D*uieneiOI« "Dixie Flyer" leaves Chicago over C. & E.
