FUTURE QUEEN
Home Outdoor Life of Her
Royal H1ghness, the Princess
of Wales.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
NEW York, May 26.-The lady
readers of the LEDGER will like to
hear to-day some bits of gossip
about that fair and gracious Prin-
cess, her Highness of Wales, who,
whether or not destined to become
England's future queen, has so
firm a hold upon the affections of
her people that all she does is Of
interest to them. In a recent chat
with Redfern, the ladies' tailor of
New York, I learned that it is her
custom, every summer, q couple
of weeks before the Goodwood
races, to 60 down to the Isle of
Wight and spend some two months
there on board the royal yacht,
"Osberne," which lies of the
Cowes Road, about a half mile
from the shore. Here she lives a
free outdoor life, comparatively
devoid of pomp and ceremony, in
the company Of her daughters, and
with her pet dogs, q handsome
collie, q white Pomeranian, and a
curious wolf-like Russian canine,
presented to her by her sister, the

Choate and Webster's Note.
Once upon a time Rufus Choate
was in Washington and had spent
all the money he had. with him,
besides exhausting his bank &C
count by checks on it. He and
Daniel Webster were alike in re-
spect to bank accounts, that they
knew no other use for one than to
exhaust it. But Choate needed
money and went to Webster to bor-
row some.
81 have a dollar" said Webster
musingly, and then he added: "But
see here, Choate. You say you
want $500. Make out your note
Tor that amount, I'll indorse it, and
Corcoran & Riggs will let you have
the money"
Choate Immediately agreed,
when Webster continued:
"While you are at it you may as
vel. make the note for $1,000 and
give me $500, too"
And 80 the note was drawn, and,
remaining always unpaid, is re-
tanned as a souvenir in the bank
ing house of Corcoran & Riggs at
Washington to this day.

But Annie was not experienced in such
things. and she gave little heed to n
who, after all, was nothing to her
merely an instrument of Mr.. Hoibrook.
She did wonder, however, why it was
that he had gotten a coach SO close, and
one in which there were such small win
dows- 1t was so stuffy. The young mar
did not obtrude himself. He was appar-
entity busy with memoranda and papers.
Once he lifted his head to say that it
was for them. in order to make
a G.icK trip, to pass through a disagree
able portion of the town.
To this she made no reply.

early hour, and clothed in rags, talked
and quarreled on the sidewalks and on
the stoops of the squalid dwellings
She became interested in the scene,
novel to her, and leaned forward to look
from the window. She did not notice
that the young man had drawn the cur
tain over the window on the opposite
side Of the coach.
He broke the silence that had con-
tinued for some time:
II beg you will excuse me, Miss
Templeton. / know it is not the proper
thing to do, but I am suffering greatly
with my eyes this morning. Have !
your permission to apply a lotion to
them3"
Wondering at the strangeness of the
request, she nevertheless murmured her
permission. and turned again to the
street.
He drew his handkerchief from his
pocket and then n bottle, with the O
tents of which he Ea1aifully saturated
the handkerchief.
Before she could realize what was be-
ing done the young mar snapped a spring,
the curtain shot up over the window in
front of her, she was forced back on the
cushions with a vigorous push on her
shoulder, the handkerchief was closely
pressed on her nose and mouth, and,
though she struggled Intellectually for a
time, unable to make a noise, she 0
lost all consciousness.

Thus Tom, who was fighting for time,
succeeded in gaining it. The truth was,
the reporter was not altogether disin-
genuous or disinterested in the policy he
was pursuing. lie quickly realized that
any application to the police for assist
ance must result in telling to the author
tiles everything they knew. Convinced
as he was that the same hand that
struck down the brother had seized the
sister, he felt that the discovery of the
girl would lead straightway to the dis
coyery of the murderer.
To give this matter into the hands of
the police would be 10 give them the
nieans TO unravei the crime of Union

credit of the detection and arrest.
He was in momentary fear that Hol.
brook would detect his purpose. and lie
was at his wits end to furnish argument
in favor of the position he had taken.
His great trouble was that he could not
suggest to himself, let alone Holbrook, a
feasible plan of procedure if the matter
were not given to the police, nor indeed
even invent a plausible n

this, by all the ingenuity he could exer.

was made not an easy one by the impa.

that the Shadow had seen him.
He gave him a hasty signal to follow,
and was pleased to observe that it was
recognized.
This incident afforded Tom another
pretext, and thus, by dint of one device
and another, he succeeded in getting
Holbrook to his office.
They both entered together. AS they

dirty slip of paper nearly rolled into a

Before either Tom or Holbrook could
realize what had taken place the boy
had shot through the half open door and
scampered off.

could decipher it, for it was written
with a lead pencil upon the margin of a
newspaper.
When he did he uttered a cry of joy.

CHAPTER XXX
THE ARnrCTnN or ANNIE

she was not d~ispleased with the oppor-
tunity of spending an hour or two in the
society of her lawyer. His companion
ship had become agreeable to her, and
though she was far from admitting to
herself the idea of any especial fondness
for him, still the more she saw of him
the more welcome his visits became. He
was so strong, so comforting, and he
knew Just what was the right thing to
do, and he had the faculty of lifting her
mother from the contemplation of her
griefs.
When Annie arrived at the door of the
surrogate's Office a young man of gentle
man like appearance stepped forward,
and, lifting his hat, said:
81 have been waiting some time for
you, Miss Templeton. and quite impa-
tiently."
Annie drew back astonished.
II am afraid I have been awkward in
my Speech" he continued. 81 meant to
say that for any delay Mr.. Holbrook will
blame me. He is very exacting in bust
ness matters, That is why I say I am
inpatient"
HWhy, it is not yet 10 o'clock" ex-
claimed Annie.
pardon me, I am afraid your time
piece is out of order. 1t is considerably
after 10. But here is q note I am charged
by MI. Holbrook to deliver to you"
He handed it to her with a bow.
Annie took it and read:
"SURRoGATE's OFFICE,
NEW YORK, Sept. IA, 1884.
"MY DEAR MISS TEMPLEToN-I regret
SO much to cause you the annoyance /
undoubtedly do this morning, but bust
ness knows no other law than its OWL.
The surrogate sits at home this morning
"a fact I only learned on arriving here.
/ have other business as well as your
own before the surrogate, and as he will
sit but for a short time, / must hurry off.
I leave o clerk to escort you. Your sim
cere friend, HENRY HoLBRooK."
When Annie had finished reading the
note she looked up with o confiding
smile, saying:
.'You are then a clerk of Mr.. Hol-
brook
eyes, Miss Templeton, and entirely at
your service. The surrogate is confined
to his house with a cold, and sen word
down that he would not dare to venture
out, but that he would listen to all who
had pressing business at his house. Now,
If you please, we will go there. Here is
a carriage / have had in waiting for
you"
The concocters of the design against
Annie's freedom had evidently counted
upon her ignorance of the methods of
conducting business. for while to almost
any one experienced in the world this
would have proved but a clumsy device,
yet, directed against an unsophisticated
creature like Annie. its very simplicity
and transparency made it the more skill
full.
It is true that after entering the car
riage, and after she had had time to
make a furtive examination of the young
man who had taken the seat opposite
her, she had mentally concluded that she
did not like him, and that he seemed to
be everything else than q gentleman,
though he dressed like and assumed
the speech of one. There were certain
signs which influenced her Judgment, as
they do that OF most womcs. His hands

"I have taken a great deal OF medi.

versing in front of the Hotel Sand>

ing on running conversation about
men and events. They were call,
ing uplittle "reminiscences Of the past,
when one of them remarked:
Years ago just after the close OF
the war, | remember there lived in
this county man who, every day,
walked between the handles filling
his little farm for livelihood, con-
tented and serene, seemingly careless
and unmind!ul OF the hard life he
daily led. By his fellows he was not
accredited with any unusual degree
OF business tact, nor was it the case
that bls judgement in matters of fin-
ance was sought by any OF his ac-
quaintances. If he was overly
shrewd no one knew it. If he antici.
pated any successful achievement be,
yond the sphere in which he moved,
he did not let any one know OF this
latent ambition that fired his brain.
Finally he drifed away from these
parts. AT first he went to Savannah.
Soon after he reached that city having
m de favorable impression on a lady
who had some means AID who assis>
ted him in pecuniary matters, he
became associated with John l.. Mar,
tin in the cotton commission business.
In that he prospered fairly we'll, and
eventually married his benefactrcss.
Retiring from the cotton trade, he
went to New York some time in the
'70s. There be struck in, it seems,
with the magi1ians of the finance il
the great metropolis, ard prosperity
has beamed on HIM every since.

stockholders of tie Central railroad
in Savannah, General Alexander,
the president, voted by proxy 3,7OO
shares of the stock, the property OF
Adam Duntenhofer, of New York,
and that WIS only meager portion
OF his accumulations. The Adam
Duntenhofer that lived in pinched
circumstances in this county
years ago, is now the same Duntenho-
fer that is accounted almost, ifnot en-
4irely, millionaire in the most popu>
lous and wealthiest city in the union.
His wife, 50 far as a rapid money
making goes, is marvellous success,
and yet it is but the history Of other
men. From the bottom he has riseq
and worked his way through adverse
