Filled with apprehen- sion that she would meet Lord Donal coming up, she bad difficulty in timing her footsteps to the slow measure that Was necessary. She reached the bottom of the stair in safety and unimpeded, but once on the main floor a new prob- lem presented itself. Nothing would at- tract more attention than a young and beautiful lady walking tho long dis- tance between the gallery end of tiro room and the entrance stairway entire- ly alone and unattended. She stood there hesitating, wondering whether she could venture on finding a quiet eide exit, which she was sure must ex- ist in this largo house, when, to her dismay, she found Lord Donal again at ber side, rather breathless, as if ha ball been hurrying in eear.h of her. His brows were knit, and there was an anx- i0�la expression on his face. "I must have a word with you alone," he whispered. "Let me conduct you to this alcove under the gallery." "No; I am tired. I am going home. ' "I quite understand that, but you 'roust come with me for a moment." "Must!" she said, with a suggestion of defiance in her tone. "Yes," be answered gravely. "I wish to be of assistance to you. I think you win need it." For a moment she met hia unflinch- ing gaze steadily ; then her glance fell, and she said in a low voice, "Very Well." When they reached the alcove, she inquired rather quaveringly—for she lBaw something had happened which Chad finally settled all the young man's doubts -9s it the Amex ican embas- Sedor?"

But telegraphic message has come from Meran, signed by the Prin- cess von Steinlleimer, which expresses a hope that the ball will be a success and reiterates the regret of her highness that she could nut be present. Luckily, this communication has not been shown to the duchess. I told the duke, who read it to me, knowing I had been with you all the evening, that it was likely a practical joke on the part of the prince, but the duke, who is rather a serious person, does not take kindly to that theory, and if he knew the prince he would dismiss it as absurd, which it is. I have asked him not to show the tele- gram to any one; so there is a little time for considering what had best be done."

Then I will see you to your carriage, and when I return 1 shall endeavor to get that un- lucky telegram from the duke by telling him I should like to find out whether it is a hoax or not. He will have forgotten About it most likely in the morning. Therefore all you have to do ie to keep up your courage for a few moment* longer until you aro safe in your carp riage. " "You are very kind," sbe murmured, with downcast eyes. "You are very clever, my princess, but the odds against you were tremen- dous. Some time you must tell zee why you risked it." She made no reply, but took his arm, and together they sauntered through the rooms until they found the duchess, when Jennie took ber leave of the host- ess with a demure dignity that left nothing to be desired. .All went well until they reached the head of the stair, when the duke, an ominous frown an his brow, hurried after them and said: "My Iord, excuse me." Lord Donal turned with an ill con- cealed expression of impatience, but he was helpless, for he feared his host night not have the good sense to avoid a scene even in his own hall. Had it been the duchess all would have been well, for she was a lady of infinite tact, but the duke, as he had said, was a stupid man, who needed the constant eye of bis wife upon him to keep him from blundering. The young man whis- pered: "Keep right on until you are in your carriage. I shall ask my man here to call it for you; but please don't drive away until I come." A sign brought a serving man up the stair. "Call the carriage of the Princess von Steinheimer," said bis master. Then, as the lady descended the stair, Lord Donal turned, with no very thank- ful feeling in his heart, to hear what his host had to say. "Lord Donal, the American embassa- dor says that woman is not the Princess von Steinlleimer, whom he bas met several times in London. He cannot re- member her name. Now, who is she, and how did you cone to meet her?" "My Iord duke, it never occurred to me to question the identity of guests I met under youhospitable r oof. I knew the princess five years ago in Washing- ton, before she was married. I have not seen her in the interval, but until you showed me the telegraphic message there was no question in my mind re- garding her." "But the American embaasador is positive." "Then he has more confidence in his eyesight than I have. If such a quea- tion, like international difficulties, is to be settled by the embassies, let us refer it to Austria, who held a long conversation with the lady in my pres- ence. Your excellency," he continued to the Austrian etnbassador, who was hovering near, waiting to speak to his host, "my lord duke has seine doubt that the lady who has just departed is the Princess von Steinlleimer. Yon spoke with her and can therefore decide with authority, for his lordship seems disinclined to accept my testimony." "Not the princess 2 Nonsense! I know her very well indeed, and a most charm- ing lady she is. I hope to be her guest again before many months are past." "There, my lord duke, you see every thing is as it should be. If you will give zne that stupid telegram, I will make some quiet inquiries about ,it. Meanwhile the less said the better. I will see the American ambassador and convince his of his error. And now 1 must make what excuses I can to the lady for my desertion of her." Placing the paper in his pocket, he harried down the stair and out to the 1 street. There had been some delay about the conning of the carriage, and he saw the lady ho sought at that mo- ment entering it. "Home at once as fast as you cant" he heard her say to the coachman. She had evidently no intention of waiting for him. He sprang forward, thrust his arm through the carriage window and grasped her hand. "Princess," he cried, "you will not leave me like this! I must see you to- morrow t"' "No, ao!" she gasped, shrinking into the corner of the carriage. "You cannot be so cruel. Tell me at least where a letter will reach you. I shall not release your hand until you promise." With a quick movement the girl turned back the gauntlet of her Ring glove. The next instant the carriage was rattling down the street, while a chagrined young man stood alone on the curb with a long. slender white glove in his hand. "By Jove I" he said at last as be fold- ed it carefully, and placed it in the pocket of his coat. "It is the glove, this time, instead of the mitten!" 111.-111e Seo cli for (foe Gini, (Copyright, 1.000, by Robert IIarr,} Jennie Baxter reached her hotel as quickly as a fast pair of horses could take her. She had succeeded, yet a few rebellious tears of disappointment trickled down her cheeks now that she was move in the seutidarknese of the carriage. She thought of the eager ylanng than left standing disconsolately on the curb, with her glove dangling in his hand, and sho bitterly regretted that unkind fortune had made it possi- ble for her to meet him only under false pretenses. One consolation was that he had no clew to her identity, and she was resolved never, never to see him again; yet, such is the contrariness of human nature, no sooner was she re - ?robed by this determination than her tears flowed more freely than over. She felt that she was as capable o! enjoying scenes like the f tnetion the had just left as any who were there; as 6ttpd for them by education, by par:. soma appearance or by natural gifts of the mind as the most welcome of the dacheas' guests; yet she was barred out from thein as effectually as was the lost peri at the closed gate. Why had capri-. eious fate selected two girls of probably equal merit and made one a princess while the other had to work hard night and day for the mere right to live? Nothing is so ineffectual as the little word "why;" it asks, but never an- swers, 'With a deep sigh Jennie dried her tears as the carriage pulled up at the portal of the hotel. The sigh dismissed all frivolities, all futile "whys," The girl was now faco to face with the real- ities of life, and the events she bad so recently taken part in would soon blend themselves into a dream. Disiniesieg the carriage and walking briskly through the hall, she said to the night porter; "Have a hansom at the door for me in 1i minutes." "A hansom. my lady?" gasped the astonished nian. "Yes." She slipped a sovereign into his band and ran lightly up the stairs. • Tho porter was well accustomed to the vagaries of great ladies, although a hansom at midnight was rather beyond his experience. But if all womankind tipped so generously they might order an omnibus and welcome, so the han- som was speedily at the door. Jennie roused the drowsy maid wbo was sitting up for her. "Come," site said, "yon must get ev- erything packed at once. Lay out my ordinary dress and help me off with this." "Where is your other glove, zny lady 2" asked the maid, busily unhook- ing and untying. "Lost. Don't trouble about it. When everything is packed, get some sleep and leave word to bo called in time for the 8 o'clock express for Paris. Here is money to pay the bill and for your fare. It is likely I shall join you at the sta- tion; but, if I do not, go to our hotel in Paris and wait for are there.

She fond her shorthand writers waiting for her. The editor met her at the door of the room reserved for her and said, with visible anxiety on his brow, "Well, what success?" "Complete success," she answered shortly.. "Good!" he replied emphatically. "Now I propose to rend the typewritten sheets as they conte from the machine, correct them for obvious clerical errors and send them right away to the com- positors. You can perhaps glance over the final proofs, which will be ready almost as soon as you have finished." "Very well. Look closely to the spelling of proper names and verify 1 titles. There won't be much time for ' me to go carefully over the last proofs." "All right. You furnish the material and I'll see that it's used to the best advantage." Jennie entered the room, and there at a des!: sat the waiting stenographer.

All Iongings and regrets had been put off with the Paris made gown which the maid at that mo- ment was carefully packing away. The order of nature seemed reversed. The butterfly had abandoned its gorgeous wings of gauze and was habited in the somber working garb of the grub. With her hands clasped behind her the girl paced up and down the room, pouring forth words, 200 to the ininnte and sometimes more. Silently cne stenogra- pher, tiptoeing in, replaced another, who as silently departed, and from the adjoining room the subdued, nervous, rapid click, click, click of the type- writing machine invaded without dis- turbing her eonsciollaness. Toward 8 o'clock the low drone of the rotaries in the cellar made itself felt rather than heard. The early edition of the conntry was being run off. Time was flying— danced away by nimble feet in the west end, worked away by nimble fingers in .Fleet street (well named thoroughfare). Play and work, . work and play, each supplementing the other, the acts of the frivolous recorded by the indus- trious. When a little more than three hours' dictating was finished, the voice of the girl, now as hoarse as formerly it had been musical, ceased. She dropped into a cbair and rested her tired head on the deserted desk, closing her wearied eyes. She knew she had spoken between 15,- 000 and 20,000 words, a number almost equal in quantity to that contained in many a book which had made an au- thor's fame and fortune, and all for the ephemeral reading of a day—of a forenoon, more likely—to be forgotten when the evening journals came out Shortly after the typewriter gave its final click the editor came in. "I didn't like to disturb you while you were at work, and so I kept at my own task, which was no light one, and thus.I appreciate the enormous strain that has been on you. Your acconnt is magni !cent, Mies Baxter; just what I wanted and never hoped to get." "I am glad you Biro it," said the girl, laughing somewhat dismally at the croaking sound of her own voice. "I need not ask • you if you were there, for no person but ono who was present and one who knew how to de- scribe could have produced such a vivid account of it all. How did you get in?" "In where 2" murmured Jennie drow- sily. She found difficulty in keeping her mind on what he was saying. "To the Duchess of Chiselhurst's ball," "Oh, getting in was easy enough; it was the getting out that was the trou- ble." "Like prison, eh?" suggested the editor. "Now, will you have a little wine or something stronger?" "No, no. All I need is rest." "Then let me call a cab. I will see you home, if you will permit me." "I am too tired to go home. I shall remain here until morning." "Nonsense. Yon must go home and sleep for a week if yon want to. Rouse up! I believe you are talking in your sleep now." "I understand perfectly what you are saying and what I am doing. I bave work that must be attended to at 8. Please leave orders that some one is to call mo at 7 and bring a cup of coffee and biscuits or rolls or anything that is to be had at that hour. And please don't trouble further. I tun very thank- ful to you, but will exprees myself bet- ter later on." With this the editor had to be con- tent and was shortly on his way to his own well earned rest. To Jennie it seemed but a moment after he had gone that the porter placed coffee and rolls on tbo des!: beside ber, saying, "Seven o'clock, lit iss1" Tho coffee refreshed the girl, and as she passed through the editorial rooms she noted their forlorn, disheveled ap- pearance. which all places show when seen at an unaccustomed hoar, their time of activity and bustle past. The rooms were littered with torn pa- pers, wastebaskets overflowing, silent, scrappy, abandoned in the gray morn- ing light, which seemed intrusive, usurping the place of the usual artifi- cial illumination and betraying a bare- ness which the other concealed..Tennie a. lbetween r recognize?' a relation .h her p Own up all night feeling and the spirit of the deserted rooms. At the railway station she found her maid waiting for her, surrounded by luggage. "Have you got your ticket?" "'fes, my lady." "I have changed lay mind and will not go to Paris just now. Ask a porter to put those trunks in that left luggage 1 11 mom ' office and bring roe the keys and the receipt." When this was dope and money mat- ters bad been settled between them, Jennie gave the girl 45 more than was due to her and saw her into the car- riage, well pleased with tbo reward. A hansom brought Jennio to her fiat, and so ender' the exhauszing episode of the Moines of Chiselhnrst's ball. Yet an event, like a malady, leaves numerous Consequences in its train, ex- tending—who shall say how far? ---intoe the future. The first symptom of these consequences was a correspondence, and, as there is no reading more dreary than a series of letters. their substance merely is here given. When Jennie was herself again, sbe wrote a long letter to the Princess von Steiuhoi;ner, detailing the particulars of her impersonation and begging par- don for what she had done, while glen ing her reasons for doing it. But, per- haps because it did not occur to her, she made not the sightest reference to Lord Donal Stirling. Two answers camp to this—one a registered packet containing the diamonds which the princess had previously offered to ber, the other a .otter from the princess' own hand. The glitter of the diamonds showed Jennie that she had been speedily for- given, and the letter corroborated this. to be oolorunett.l • %'rare; c;tt'a Mother, extsting tte4:`t'veas thle mother and son is one of the most beau- tiful traits in Oliver's personal history.

Nobly quairitly says, "She occasion- ally yet offered the Protector advice, which he always heard with great at- tention, but acted as he judged proper." It is pleasant to think that this fine old lady died happily before her eon's power began to wane. It is pleasant to think of the great Protector kneeling to re- ceive her dying blessing and of her last smiling words to him and his children, "A good night, dears!" There is yet a portrait of her at Hiechinbrooke, which shows use hand- some woman, with a face full of char- acter and a rather melancholy expres- sion.

Like the modern cowboy yell of the western troops in the Cuban campaign, the w arcries and slogans of the ancient Irish clans often had much effect in in- spiring fear in the enemy and courage and enthusiasm in the command. The simplest and most frequent of old Erin's wareries was "Faire, faire!" signifying "watch" or "look out." It was a pre- cautionary signal and was commonly written "Farrah." From it the modern "hurrah" is supposed to have been de- rived. Another cry was "A bnaidhl" which meant "to the victory." It was pronounced "aboo" and followed the name of the clan or leader, according to circumstances, like "O'Neill aboo," or "Clann Conail aboo." Frequently "a bnaidh" is construed incorrectly iu modern English to mean "forever." That translation applies to "go beetle" bnt not "a Mutant." Tho famous Irish cry of "Fag an bealach l" meaning "clear the way," scared the spunk out of the French soldiery in the peninsular wal'. A Generous( Whim. The London Daily Mail tells thitl pretty story of a kiss sold at auction: A fascinating actress, whose name need not be mentioned, being anxious to as- sist a certain charity in the provinces, offered a kiss to be put up at auction. The bidding was brisk and had advanced in three leaps from 2 guineas to 80, when without further parley the round sum of £800 was offered. There being no higher bid, the kiss was knocked down by the auctioneer to a colonel in one of our line regiments, who came forward to meet the, blushing lady. But to the surprise of all present, the colonel introduced a dear little fair haired boy, explained that it was his grandson's fifth birthday, and that he had acquired the kiss as a birthday gift for him. Whereupon Miss — took the child in her arms and discharged her debt with interest. The charity, a local one, in which the colonel took a keen interest, was the richer by 4800 for the eganddad's generous whim.
