of describing them, and Beatrice also
smiled family as she answered that the ser
mon was ready. Just then the roll OF wheels
was heard without, and the only fly that
Bryngelly could boast pulled up in front OF
the door.
'.Here's the hy come for you. Mr.. Bing-
ham," said Mr. Granger, "and, as live,
her ladyship with it. Elizabeth, see ii there
isn't some tea ready" and the old gentle
man, who had all the traditional love OF the
lower middle-class Englishman Tor title,
trotted of to welcome "Her ladyship."
Presently Lady Honoria entered the
room, a sweet, ii rather set, smile upon her
handsome face, and with a graceful mien
that became her tall figure exceedingly well.
For, to do Lady Honoria justice, she was
one OF the most ladylike women in the eoun-
try, and, so far as her personal appearances
went, a very perfect type OF the class to
which she belonged.
Geohrey looked at her, saying to himself
that she had clearly recovered her temper,
and that he was thankful for it This was
not wonderful, for il is observable that the
more aristocratic a lady's manners are the
more disagreeable she is apt to be when she
is crossed.
"Well, Geofrey, DEAR" she said, "you
see have come to fetch you. I was deter
mined that you should not get yourself
drowned again on your way home. How
are you now?-but needn't ask, you look
quite well again"
st is very kind of you, Honoria," said
her husband, simply. but it was doubtful If
she heard him, for at the moment she was
engaged in searching out the soul OF Bea-
trice, with one Of the most penetrating and
comprehensive glanees that young lady bad
ever enjoyed the honor of receiving. There
was nothing rude about the look; it was too
quick, but Beatrice felt that, quick as it
might be, it embraced her altogether. Nor
was she wrong.
"There is no doubt about il, Lady Ho-
noria thought to herself, "she is lovely
lovely everywhere. It was clever of her 10

stand it. That blue wrapper suits her, too.
Very few women could show such figure as
hers-like a Greek statue. don't like her;
she different from most of Ge; just the sort
of girl men go wild about and women hate. T"
All this passed through her mind in q
fash. For moment Lady Honoria'S blue
eyes met Beatriee's gray ones, and she knew
that Beatrice liked her no better than she
did Beatrice. Those eyes were trile too
honest, and, like the deep clear water they
resembled, apt to throw up shadows OF the
passing thoughts above.

Beatrice. 81 wonder how man like that

ever change that hastily-lormed JUDGMENT.

surprised to see Speaker Carlisle, for he was
then Speaker Of the House, half rise to give
her his place. A moment later he saw that
ne could make room for her beside him and
he crowded the rest of us up against the end
and motioned her to sit down. His treat
ment of everyone else is on the same demo-
cratic basis. His latchstring is out to every
body, and anyone who wants to see him can
zee him at auv time He lives very nicely
here at Washington and his brick house on
II street is one of the most attractive ones of
the capital He is fortunate in having
wife who knows how to take care Of him,
and Mrs. Carlisle watches over his health as
carefully as though he were her son instead
Of her husband.
BRECKENRIDGE, THE sILvER-ToSGUED.
Carlisle is the embodiment of the free
trade idea, and the same may be said of w.
c. P. Breckenridge, who, in connection
with McCreary, makes the Kentucky dele
cation one OF the strongest from the South.
Breckenridge is known as the silver-tongued
orator in his own State. He is an eloquent
speaker, is a man OF fine culture. and he de-
lights in we'll rounded sentences, He
weighs a third as much again as Carlisle
though be is not as tall, and he is one of the
fine looking men OF the House His hair is
frosted silver, his beard is as white as newly
Slaked lime, and his cheeks are as rosv as
the rising moon. He is a noted LAWYER and
was professor in the University of Louis
willie before he came to Congress. MANY of
his speeches are extempore ones, and he has
shown himself to be good all-round fighter
He-is as good a fellow as he is statesman.
and he lives in very nice brick house here
about two miles from the Capitol, on Six
teeuth street, in the shadow of ex-senator
Hepderson's 500, 600 brown stone chateau.
Breckinridge has a curious way OF pre-
pairing his speeches. He dictates the matter
to the graphophone and then has the cylIn-
ders written out la type writing. He did
for a long time dictate his mail directly to
the typewriter, and he is one of the men who
can get through great deal Of work in
very short time.
Representative Breckinridge's cousin.
Breckinridge of Arkansas, is also promi-

son Of John C. Breckinridge, and he moves
about the House looking as though he
wanted to fight and was ready to take up

CHAPTER x.

LADY HoNoRIA MAKES ARRANGEMENTS.
Accustomed to observe, Geofrey saw this
instantly, and then glanced at the father.
The old man was frightened; clearly he was
afraid of Elizabeth, and dreaded a scene.
He stood fdgeting his feet about, and trying
to find something to say, as he glanced ap-
prehensively at his eldest daughter, through
his thin hanging hair.
Lastly, Geofrey looked at Beatrice, who
was indeed well worth looking at. Her face
was quite. pale, and the clear gray yesshone
out beneath their dark lashes. She had
risen, drawing herself to her full height,
which her exquisite proportions seemed to
increase, and was looking at her sister.
Presently she said one word, and one only,
but it was enough.
- Elizabeth"
Her sister opened her lips to speak again,
but hesitated and changed her mind. There
was something in Beatrice's manner that
checked her.
WELL" she said at length, 'you should
not irritate me so, Beatrice"
Beatrice made no reply. She only turned
toward Geoffrey, and with graceful little
bow, said: 'Mr. Bingham. am sure you
will forgive this scene. The fact is, we all
sleDt badly last night, and it has not i'm
proved our tempers."
There was pause, of which Mr.. Granger
took hurried and rather undignIfed ad-
vantage"
"Um, al" he said. "By the way, Bea-
trice, what was it wanted to say? All, I
know-have you written, mean written
out, that sermon for next Sunday? My
daughter" he added, addressing Geofrey
in explanation--''um, copies my sermon for
me-. She writes very good hand
Remembering Beatrice's confidence as to
her sermon-manuiacturing functions, Geo.

which she offers up her Young life. She can
scarce expect to see her'friends again. Just
before leaving England Miss Fowler re-
ceived blessing from Cardinal Manning.
and through him the blessing of the Pope
as well, who has taken special interest in
the young woman's mission.
"The hospital at Kalawao, of which am
to have charge" said Miss Fowler, "always
contains so or 60 patients. 1 intend to do
what I can to brighten their lives. don't
intend to forget my scientific work, though.
I am taking with me a microscope, which
will aid me greatly in making study Of the
disease, and camera, with which l shall
value to the medical world"
The dress which Miss Fowler expects to
wear in her vocation, and which is repro
duced above, is the simple garb which she
wore when in Paris studying the dread dis
ease with Pasteur.

till Lady Honoria, feeling that things were
getting q little dull, set the ball rolling
again.
'fWhat pretty view you have of the
sea from these windows" she said in her
well-trained and monotonously modulated
voice. "I am so glad to have seen il, tor
you know am going away tomorrow"
Beatrice looked upquickly.
"Biy husband is not going" she went on,
as though in answer to an uuspoken ques-
tion. ''I am playing the part of the unduti-
full wife and running away from him Tor ex-
actly three weeks. It is very wicked Of me,
isn't it? but have an engagement that I
must keep. It is most tiresome.
Geofrey, slipping his tea, smiled grimly
behind the shelter Of his cup. "She does it
uncommonly well, Z" he thought to himself
"Does your little girl 60 with you, Lady
Honoria?" asked Elizabeth.
"Well, no. think not. I can't bear
parting with her-you know how hard Il is
when one has only one child. But I think
she would be 50 bored where am going 70
stay, for there are no other children theref
and besides, she positively adores the sea,
So shall have 70 leave her to her fathers
tender mercies. poor dear"

A DEscRIpT1oN BY DICKENS.

In comparison with such verses as these
the so-called poetry of the sentimental val
entines sold in our stationers' stores must
pale its Intellectual fire. One OF the best
possible descriptions OF these latter produc-
tions is given by Dickens in his 'Pickwick
Papers" where he tells how Sam Waller,
in gazing into a stationer's window on st.
Valentines eve, beheld ga highly colored
representation of a couple of human hearts
skewered together with an arrow, cooking be-
fore cheerful fire, while male and iemale
cannibal, in modern attire-the gentleman
being clad in blue coat and white trousers
and the lady in deep red pelisse, with a
parasol of the same-were approaching the
meal with hungry eyes up q serpentine
gravel path leading thereunto. A decidedly
indelicate young gentleman, in a pair Of
wings and nothing else, was depicted as
experimenting the cooking. A Arepresentation
OF the spire OF the church in Langham
Place appeared in the distance, and the
whole formed valentine.
But even the sending of valentines, the
only observance OF St. Valentines Day that
is retained in our own land and time, seems
to be gradually dying'out For some years
past it has been the testimony of postmasters
all over the country that the number Of these
sentimental misSives passing through the
mails has steadily decreased. This falling
off began with the introduction of Christ
mas, New Year and Easter cards, the mum.
Der of which transmitted By post has In
creased just in proportion to the falling of
in valentines. The reason for this is obvi-
Gus. A sentimental valentine, the only one
for which the word is not a lnisnomer, can
only have its proper significance when it
passes between persons of opposite sex. A
Christmas, New Year or Easter card, on the
contrary, is universal in Its applicability.
It Is equally appropriate and acceptable
from mother to daughter, from sister to sis
ter, from lover to sweetheart, from friend TO
friend; and the popularity of these three
classes OF cards bids fair to finally extinguish
even the last remaining observance of the
day devoted to the honor of good st. Valen-
tine. FRANK FERN.

which will burn not only the hearts OF their
opponents, but which will stir the souls of
both parties throughout the country.
The men are ripe for the occasion. There
have never been more noted leaders in both
houses of Congress than there are now and
the House has a dozen brainy statesmen
who are ready for the fray and are glad that
it is on. I took look at John G. Carlisle
to-day. He looks almost as young as he did
when he was elected Speaker six years ago.
his shoulders have become slightly stopped,
1t is true, and the bald spot on his crown
has widened, but his blue eyes are full of
fire and the iron of his blood has not been
weakened by his unremitting industry.
Carlisle is one of the hardest workers in
public life. He leaves his accomplished
Juno-like wife to keep up the society end of
his Washington lie, and he delves in
figures and facts as though he were a
young lawyer of 25 with his reputation to
make.
PERSONALITY OF KENTUcKV's LEADER.
John G. Carlisle is six feet tall. OF slen-
der form, he has a strong, rough, honest
face. His forehead is high and broad, his
complexion is sallow, his eyes light gray
and his cheeks are thin. He dresses in
statesmeu's black, wears a double-breasted
frock and ties with his own hands the black
string necktie he wears around his standing
collar. 1 would not call him a, handsome
man, but he would be q striking one any
where. On the floor he speaks with few
gestures, and his voice is a hard metallic
one, becoming at times almost nasal. His
fort is his wonderful command of fact
and statistics. He remembers everything
that he has ever read, and he seems to have
read everything. He makes no fuss in his
speaking, does not talk to the galleries, and
is the most unassuming man In Washington.

gard as their valentine the first person OF the
opposite sex whom their eyes behold on the
morning of St. Valentines Day, and they
have the right to.claim. the said valentine
with kiss which he or she is in honor
bound to accord without resistance or re-
monstrance of any kind. Scott, IN his novel
of 1.-THE Fair Maid Of Perth" already
quoted, beautifully describes the manner in
which the peerless Catherine Glover thus
claimed the bold arnorer, Henry Smith, as
her valentine after he had saved her from
dishonor by his great valor and strength on
st. Valentines eve. The English poet Gay
also alludes to this custom as follows:
Last Valentine, the day when birds Of kind
Their paramours with mutual chirping hnd,
/ early rose Just at the break of day,
Before the sun had chased the stars away,
Aheld went amid the morning dew
To milk my kline tfor so uldhousewiVes do).
Thee frat spied-and the first swain we see,
In spite of fortune shall our true love be.
Shakespeare also alIudes TO this custom in
"Hamlet" where poor Ophelia sings:
Tomorrow is st. Valentines Day,
All in the morning betime
And a maid al your window
To be your valentine.
The custom of EXCHANGING amatory ad-
dresses between valentines on st. Valen-
tines Day, to which have already alluded,
is very old one. Many of the old English
poets, such as Chaucer and Spencer, have
left some quaint models of this style of COM
position. Lydgate, famous in England as
poet long before the invention of printing,
also wrote many valentines; and the same
is true of Atbelstane Wade, an Anglo
Saxon poet of the time of Richard /. One
of the latter's productions has been pre-
served, and rendered into modern spelling,
is as follows:
Sweetheart, to thee consecrate my soul.
My life. nv love, my heart are wholly thine.
Let Cupid now thy destiny control
And bind thee to me as my valentine.
And as the birds, who choose their mates this
day,
Abide in wedlock happy all the year;
Let constancy, that gem OF brightest ray,
Drive from our hearts all thought Of jealous
fear.
And when old Time shall bring this day again
Not once, but many and many q time
Ny love. now young, shall be SO even then,
And still I'll call thee, sweet my valentine.

GENUINE CANVAS BACKS.
A Great Many Epicures Get Red. Hea ded |
Ducks Substitutes.

A Great Many Epicures Get Red Hea ded
Ducks as Substitutes.
New York WorId.l
A dealer in canvas-back duck said the
other day that there were very few chefs or
caterers in town who did not occasionally
substitute red-head duck for canvas back,
and he supplemented this statement with
the cheering information that only about
man out of 80 is able to detect the differ
ence. The difference in price is very con-
siderable. A pair OF canvas-back HaVre de
Grace ducks, weight ~ pounds, are worth
So.
When the heads of the ducks are re-
moved the difference between them is SO
slight that a great many frequent buyers
OF them will not buy at all unless their
heads are in the place where nature intended
them to be. The canvas-back ducks which
come from Lake Superior and Michigan
feed on celery to great extent, all their
meat is therefore less fshy than the meat
OF the Chesapeake duck. When it is pre-
pared, however, BY skillful cook they can
be very readily passed off for the genuine
canvas back.
