She remembered Miss Percival's many
conscientious scruples as to the pro-
priety, or even honesty, of their scheme
scruples which she, Margaret Barring
ton, had ridden over rough shod. She

given in, unable to resist the combined
temptations offered by the prospect of a
long holiday, and the promise of ease
and luxury and fresh air for the sister
to whom she was so unselfshlv devoted
Margaret could not forget these traits.
She thought it a pity that Miss Percival
was so sentimental, and about Maurice
Biddulph, who was such an unscruplous
flirt, and so utterly reckless as to whom
he tlirted with, and what the conse-
quences of his flirtations might be. Be
fore they had travelled many miles out of

which was really surprising, or would
have been in any one else. that the kind
est thing to do would be to enlighten
Miss Percival as to certain points in
Mr.. Biddulph's character. Miss Per-
cival listened with an edifying docility,
saying nothing, but no doubt thinking
the more, as Margaret discoursed upon
the need there was for caution in ac-
cepting the attentions, or what APP
peared to be the attentions, of u man

counsels came oddly from person who

CHAPTER V.
BLACKBOARD GRANGE,

Margaret's journey to Foulhaven was
not short one. She had yet again to
change trains at little Yorkshire coun-
try junction, and then to journey on
ward for another hour through love-
ly country, full Of green hills, of rough
ly wooded dells, of clear, pebbly bot
toned streams, ferns and gorse- bushes;
through some clean-looking country
towns, until at last they ran into a
terminus, and the porters called out,
d" Foulhaven.
There were very few people to be
seen. The Foulhaven season had not
begun, and when it was the season there
it was always small, even a contempti-
BILE season. A man in livery regarded
Miss Darlington undecidedly for some
little time, but at last, apparently de-
Gliding that she must be the person he
had been sent to meet, advanced to her,
and touching his hat inquired if she
were Miss Percival.
Yes said Margaret, and felt mis-
cradle the instant she had uttered the
falsehood. Even now she began to
wish that she had allowed Miss Percival
to do what she had at first wished, ex-
plain to Mrs. Lascelles that she could
not come to her, but that a friend, "if
possible, more competent than your
self" as Margaret had said, could take
her place.
Meantime Thomas, privately decid
ing that this lady was not at all what
he should have expected, showed her to
where the carriage was standing out
side the station.
1t was handsome, substantial equip
age, but, as Margaret quickly decided,
not very dashing one; somewhat
solid and old-fashioned, as if it be-
longed to steady-going country people
Very soon she was being driven away
from the station, first through an ex-
traordinary, old-fashioned, narrow
street, with little alleys and gulleys on
the right, sloping down TO river,
which, as Margaret saw, was almost
empty just now, for it was low-water
time. On the dry banks or in the half
filled channel, she perceived ships;
great black-looking hulks, rolled over
to one side as the retreating tide had
left them awaiting repairs in some
of the ship builders yards which might
be seen on the opposite side of the
llNCl, WHICH was Ddthcl up ny ~ nIDn
| cliff. on the top of which We're houses.
1t was altogether quaint and unusual
prospect, and my heroine, with the
deep, fresh interest in things new which
so greatly distinguished her, took it all
in with keen, quick powers of observa-
ton, as she was driven swiftly past it
all, and, after a steep hill had been
climbed, she found herself outside the
town, upon high, wild country road,
with the same river still ON the right,
but more like large brook now, rush
ing swiftly downward toward the sea.
Looking across the country she saw
to the right some rolling downs, and
the tops of the cliffs, and then streak
of blue, which made her heart rejoice.
To the left fine hilly country oors,
now green, now purple, under the
changing sky; woods, fields, streams
and all Of fresh, breezy, thoroughly
English beauty.
They drove for some distance aloue
this road. Then the river took bend

AARON BURR'S PISTOLS.
Formidable Pair of Weapons, With One
of Which Hamilton Was Killed.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Some weeks ago | ran across perhaps the
most famous and fatal firearms on this con-
tinent-the superb dueling pistols of Aaron
Burr. They are a bone-breaking brace of
the first caliber, and the property of Captain
Brent Hopkins, of this city. One of these
pistols fired the ball that killed Alexander
Hamilton at Weehawken. 1t is identified by
a long deep notch indented on the handle.
The pistols were made by Mortimer, of Lon
don, England and were imported by Burr
at the close of the revolutionary war. The
barrels are thirteen inches long and carry an
ounce ball. They are flint-locks, and the
pans for the printing are lined with gold and
the touch-holes are pushed with the same
metal. They are hair-triggers and shoot
with great force and accuracy. The locks
are very superior and of exquisite mechan-
ism. The pair came into the possession of
Captain Brent Hopkins, the present owner,
through his uncle, Captain Sam Goode Hop
kins, OF the Forty-second regiment of United
States Dragons who purchased them from
Burr in Washington City in the winter of
1913 or 1914, paying $500 in gold for them
Captain Sam Goode Hopkins was in the
war of l812'15 and lost his holsters in a fight
in Canada, when his horse was shot from
under him. He went to Washington eX-
pressly to buy the pistols, and called on Burr
with Major-Seneral Samuel Hopkins, the
grandfather of Captain Brent Hopkins. who
was then a Congressman from Henderson
county, Kentucky. Burr remarked at the
time that he would not let anyone else have
the pistols. as they were the weapons he had
used with Hamilton.
Captain Hopkins killed many an Indian
with them in the war of 1912, and brought
down chief with one of them at the battle
of Massasineway. Captain Hopkins died
near New Madrid Mo-, in 1884, and lett the
pistols to his nephew, Captain Brent Hop
kins, then a lad eleven years of age. The
weapons have surely blood-stained history.
They have been used with fatal effect in
eleven duels Among the sanguinary combats,
Pettis, of Virginia, killed Biddle on Bloody
! Island, near st. Louis; Edward Towns, of Vir-
ginia, killed Frenchman near New Orleans;
Captain Sam Goode Hopkins killed Spanish
Count near Madrid. Mo-; Hugh Brent killed
man from Georgia on Diamond Island, be-
low Henderson, Ky. They were used several
times in Virginia, twice in South Carolina,
and more than once in Kentucky, with
deadly effect. Robert Triplett of Ovens
boro shot the old lawyer Phil Thompson, of
that city, through and through with one of
them, but, strange to say, Thompson recov-
cred and grew as fat as a bear. Henry Clay
and Captain Hopkins were fast friends and
the former was to have used the pistols in
one of his duels, but they arrived a day too
late.

Where Her Husband Persisted.

On one evening of every week a neatly
dressed woman visits the stage entrance OF
Haverlys Theater, in Brooklyn. The main
entrance of the Brooklyn Theater destroyed
by fire on the night of December 5, 1875,
with nearly three hundred lives, occupied
this particular site. The woman looks about
her for a few minutes and then runs down
Myrtle avenue to her home. One of the
policemen attached to the station next door
says that in the early evening of that terrible
night, seven years and more ago, the husband
of this woman asked her to accompany him
to the play. She had been hard at work
during the day, and preferred to remain at
home, but wished that he should visit the
theater. He did So and his body was among

The wife fell ill, and for a time ii was feared
she would lose her reason. Once a week,

Gath's New York Gossip.
l met Jay Cooke early last night He is in
perfect health, as fresh and boyish in spirit
as ever and is the idol of a large family of
sons and nephews, and now grandsons. His
son. who sat beside him, seemed to weigh
half as much more than himself, yet not TO
be as quick and flexible. When he got to
Washington City, Mr.. Cooke was awaited by
beaming lot of nephews, at the head of
whom was young Harry Cooke, the oldest
son of the late Governor of the District of
Columbia. They took him home to see Gov
ernor Cookies widow, who is delightful wo-
man. originating in the western part of New
York State. The next day the nephews car
ried the old banker out to the Little Falls of
the Potomac river to fish for perch at the
head of tide. He caught about one-half of
all the fish they caught, more than 100 in
number, and good perch fishing is probably
as fine as Mr. Arthur can find in Florida
Mr.. Jay Cooke has changed in no respect
since l knew him in Philadelphia. twenty
two years ago, when he began to sell the first
government loans. He has bought back the
large house he built, called Ogontz; but l
think it is too large for him and his family.
Ancestral ideas have yielded in our times to
experience and common sense. He went
into mining in Utah, and made considerable
money out of the Horn silver mine. In the
meantime his estate, which was perfectly
sound except for panic and hostility excited
by a variety of events, turned out to be
strong in assets; and those who had faith in
him and bought up the claims against him
have had no reason to repent Recently he
has gone into the development of ore, and
has built railroad adjacent to the Cumber-
land Valley of Pennsylvania. starting from
near Carlisle and running down into the ore
field. He now meditates extending this rail-
road across the low mountains to Gettysburg,
thus giving a short line from the West to
the battlefield OF gettysburg.
