MRS. LANGTRY SAILS.
She IS Happy at the Prospect of Seeing He,
Husband Agdin.

II
Husband Again.
New York Sum-
A tall, well-built, and fashionably clad
young man, with clear cut, handsome
face and reserved manner, paced up
and down the main deck of the steamer
Alaska this morning as the sultry night
turned into foggy day. He was digni-
fed and pensiYe. When he brushed
against tourist who was hurrying by he
turned quickly, raised his hat and apollo
gized. The tourist nodded hurriedly and
passed on. Mr.. Frederick Gebhardt re-
sumed his walk.
The mist was dropping from the spars
overhead, running in little rivers on the
shrouds and wriggling in serpentine
courses down the big black tunnels. It
began to drizzle ftfully.
An under-steward approached the young
man, touched his cap, and said: "Beg par
don, sir, but will you look at the state
room now sir?".
The youth stepped within and turned
toward large sJate-rOom near the stair
way in the saloon. It was beautifully dec
GRATED with flowers, and magazines and
papers were scattered about. He rear
ranged some of the flowers, tossed a coin
to the attendant, and resumed his vigil on
the damp and slippery deck.
THE LILY ARRIVES.
Then there was a sensation about the
shore end of the gang plank as a carriage
rolled down the pier. A lady's maid
alighted somewhat awkwardly. Then
Mrs. Langtry sprang gracefully from the
carriage. She was dressed in drab-col-
ored gown that fitted her perfectly. Her
eyes were bright, her face was rosy, and
she smiled as happily as child as she
gave her hand in turn to the gentlemen
who had come in the Union Club cab. She
then ran gracefully up the gang plank,
and, wheeling around, waved her hands to
her friends on the pier. The maid stood
chatting to the trio.
"Are you glad to leave America, Mrs.
Langtry?" asked the reporter.
Indeed. no" she answered quickly. q
have had very jolly time here, and feel
that L am leaving many good friends Is
hind me; but of course, am pleased at
the prospect of meeting my people and
my husband again. I have had delight
full time here, and shall come back with
pleasure in October"
Just then she caught sight of the tall
young man who had been gravely pacing
the deck. Her face frightened as he toss.
ed his cigar into the water and stepped
forward.
GOODBYE FREDDIE.
"You will find everything prepared he
said, smiling agreeably and clasping her
hand Il wish you very pleasant voy-
age"
You are very kind. Goodbye," said
Mrs. Langtry, and the young man sprang
lightly on the gang-plank.
The trio stood by the maid who was
still on the wharf. The gentleman with
the striking combination of red and blue
looked up at Mrs. Langtry and cried:
'Bung voyage"
Then he looked intently at the maid,
and suddenly kissed her. The maid never
winked an eye. She wears spectacles, and
looks mature, worldly wise, and self-reli-
ant. There was pause after the oscula-
tory feat of the impetuous gentleman in
the blue tie, and then the other members
of the trio distinctly and manfully kissed
the maid. She laughe heartily, and trot
ted up the gang plank. Half way up she
met the sedate and dignifed young man.
"Ah, Roberts," Mr.. Gebhardt said pleas

pocket and slipped it into her hand, ''be
careful and attentive on the way over.'
eyes, sir: WILL
The maid weut aboard and stood be-
hind her mistress, who was leaulug on the
rail- and looking down at her friends on
the pier. The tall young man greeted the
trio heartily, and they all waved their hats
and handkerchiefs as the great steamer
slid out on the river and steamed towards
the misty bay.
