THE POACHERS.
Singular Outcome of an Adventure
on a Very Dark Night.

I had been forced to stay in London
during the summer vacation owing to pres
sure of business, when on returning from
my office in Chancery lane one evening
was pleasantly surprised to find awaiting
me at NY lodgings pressing invitation
from my old college chum, Harry McDon-
aid, to spend the first month of the shooting
season with him down at his country seat
In the heart of Kent, where | had reason to

TENDER" could be properly celebrated by
the Staying of golden pheasants and swift
legged hares.
The following evening saw me being
rapidly whirled by the express train out of
the dust and heat of London through the
cool and grassy meadows of Southwestern
Kent.
1t is but journey OF two hours from
London to Parkfeld, the station nearest
''Elmhurst," as Harry's place was named,
and on reaching it was greeted by Harry
himself, who drove me rapidly to his home,
expatiating on the way on the splendid state
of his preserves, which, he said, had not
been disturbed for several months, except,
he added by some poachers who had been

will not enlarge upon the sport we had
the first week or so further than to say that
it was excellent, and it was with knowl-
edge OF awell-earned repose that we were sit

watching the smoke curl upward from our
Havanas and fighting our battles Ger

heard coming from the direction Of the pre-
serves. closely followed by another. By
thunder, that's pOachers again." Harry cried,
jumping to his feet. Hurry up and we'll
catch them" Hastily throwing aside our
cigars, Slipping on our boots and diving into
our hunting coats, we each armed ourselves
with a stout club. "Much surer and more
effective at close quarters than firearms"
said Harry TO me, as we emerged from the
house and struck off for the woods.
Tie firing had ceased after the first two
shots, and the night being ptchy dark, the
moon not rising til after midnight, it was
with snne difficulty that we made our way
along the edge of the preserve going in that
direction from which we imagined the shots
had proceeded. / must confess to some feel
ing of fear in thus going forth 20 do battle

F8pARIS, Aug. 1S.-One OF the sights of
HgS Paris is the spectacle Of Americans
ES*S shopping. The Avenue de rOpera
has become practically an English-speaking
thoroughlare, and a person whom one meets
every bright afternoon is the thin, nervous
looking husband who calls after his some
what more substantial spouse as she disap-
pears through an encircling doorway.
Now, don't be gone long, dear" In
numerous instances dear" gets no further
than the doorway, where she is met by a
smiling salesman of whom she asks the
price Of a fan. and learning that it is 225
francs shakes her head despairinglY and re-
sumes her promenade.
In truth, Paris prices have become quite
American, and, however, it may be with
the veteran shopper. the ordinary tourist
can frequently get more for her money in
London, and do best Of all-at home. Yet
they are enticing-the jewelry shops in the
galleries of the Palace Royal and the grand

gathered and falling down from the brim.
Bunches of wheat straw are laid fiat on the
brims OF these enormous head coverings,
mixed sometimes with feathery sprays Of
gOIdenrod and asters. The Americans look
and exclaim, but they do not often buy.
They know that what seems the very de-
sire of their hearts when they pur-
chase it in Paris has often, when
they don it on the home side of the
Atlantic ferry, a look that Is extreme.
Besides it will he too late to wear any but
fall styles on their return. So they ask to
be shown the earliest coOl-weather FASH
ions, and there are brought out for inspec-

other winter model turns up in a loose roll
at the back and in front curls like the
petal Of a rose. 1t is most effective seen in

ing from deep petuna to palest mauve,
