After his run of success there crme a time when Simon Carne, like Alexander the Great, could have sat down and wept. for the reason that he had no mvure worlds to conquer. For the moment it seemed as if he had ex- hausted, to put it plainly, every #pecies of artistic villainy. He had won the Derby, under pe- euliar circumstances, as narrated elsewhere; he had rendered a sig- nal' though an unostentatious, ser- vice tu the State; he had stolen, un- der enormous difficulty, the most famous family jewels in Europe ; and he had relieved the most fash- jonable bride and bridegroom of the season of the valuable presents that their friends and relations had lav- ished on them. ne morning following a banquet at the Mansion House, at which he had been a_welcome, as well-as a conspicuous guest, he was sitting alone in his study smoking a medi- tative cigar. Though the world would searcely have thought it, a fashionable life did not suit him, and he was beginning to wonder hether he was not, after all, a lit- Be tired of England. He was hun- gering for the warmth and color of the East, and, perhaps, if the truth must be told, for something of the test he had known in'the Mahara- ah of Kadir's lake palace, where he baa beep domiciled when he had first made the acquaintance of the man who hal been his sponsor in English society, the Ear) of Am- hberley. | lt was a strange coincidence that, while he was thinking of that noble- man, and of the events which had followed: the introduction just re- ferred'to, his quick ears should have caught the sound of a bell that was destined eventually to lead him up to ono of the most sensational ad- ventures of all his sensational ca- reer. A moment later his butler en- tered to inform him that Lady Caro- line Weltershall and the Ear] of Amberley had called, and would like io see-him. Tossing his cigar into the grate, he passed through the door Ram Gafur held open for him, and, having ¢roéssed the hall, en- tered the drawing-room. As he went he wondered what it was that had brought them to see him at such an early hour. Both were among his more intimate ac- quaintances, and both occupied dis- tinguished positi in the social life of the world's great metropolis. While' her friends and relations spent their time in search of amuse- ment, and a_ seemingly eternal round of gaieties, which involved a waste of both health and money, Lady Garoline, who was the ugly duckling of an otherwise singularly handsome family, put her life to.a different use. Philanthropy was her hobby, and scarcely a'day. passed in which she did not speak at some meeting, pre- side over some committee, or endea- vor in some wavy as she somewhat grandiloquently put it: "To better the lives and ameliorate the condi- tions of our léss fortunate fellow- creatures." In appearance she was a short, fair woman, of about forty- five years of age, with a not unhand- some face, the effect of which, how- ever, was completely spoilt by two large and protruding teeth. "My dear Lady Caroline, this is indeed kind of you," said Carne, as he shook hands with her, "and also of you,- Lord Amberley.

They seated themselves once more and when they had done so, Lady Caroline unfolded her tale. j '*As you are perhaps aware, my friends say that I never -come to see them unless it is to attempt tc extort money from them for some charitable purpose," she said.

My cousin, the Marquis of Laverstock, has kindly promised to act as pre- sident, and, although we started it but yesterday, ten thousand pounds have already been subscribed. As you are aware, however, if we are to attract public attention and sup- port, the funds raised must be re- presentative of all classes. Our in- tention, therefore, is to hold a drawing-room mecting»at my house to-mrow afternoon, when a num- ber of the most prominent people of the day will be invited to give us their views upon the subject.

"O 'Dick,' said the little girl, whose name was really Gertrude, but who was called "Trudie'"' 'for short, and "Tiddle Toddle Toddle- kins'? when Dick wanted to tease a little, "I'm so worried about Pug- gins and Poppett, the little kittens Mrs. Spencer gave me. Their mo- ther died, and the poor little things are too young to drink milk them- selves. We must find some way to feed them, but I've tried all sorts drink. They are getting so thin I don't know what to do."' Dick thought a minute, and then he said, "Come on, Trudie; I know the very thing." He ran upstairs to his room, and pretty soon came back with something in his hand. "Now," he said, "come out where the kittens are, and let's see if I can get them to drink." First they went to the kitchen and heated a cup of milk, not really hot, but just nice and warm. Then Dick and Trudic went out to the shed, where the two little motherless kit- tens were in their box. Really, they were very thin, for, as Trudie said, they had eaten nothing for two days. Dick took one of the little kittens up. and then Trudie saw that what he had in his hand was a of things, and I can't teach them to} nice, "new, clean fountain-pen filler or medicine-dropper. He filled the dropper with the warm milk and put one end in kitty's mouth. He then pressed the rubber end of the dropper, and kitty tasted the warm milk in her mouth. How she did claw and struggle to get more milk! Trudie held her in her arms and Dick fed her milk until she was sat- ished. Then Trudie put her back in the box, and the other kitten was fed in the same way. Trudie fed them milk in this way for seve days, until they learned to drink milk out of a saucer. The kittens. are sleek, grown-up cats now, and well able to take care of themselves. They have forgotten all aboft how they used to take milk out of a medicine-dropper, but Trudie has not forgotten, and she thinks Dick is the nicest brother iu the world. I rather think that Pug- gins and Poppett think so, too. | | ' dust proof cartons, 57 YEARS EXPERIENCE EXTRA GRANULATED SUGAR IS ABSOLUTELY. PURE.
