HE PLAYED STANLEY.
Colonel Ochiltree Posing as the
Great African Explorer.

-, ALKlNG of Stanley" said Colonel
FIX Ochiltree, Il went over with important
J1SS dispatches from President Grant to
Geneva in 1872, where the conference was in
session on the Alabama claims. When the
President gave me his letters of introduction
he told me he would give me the dispatches
also. as it would help me along in my trav-
els. At Geneva | met John Russell Young.
l came on back to London and he went TO
Paris. My favOrite resort in London was
the Savage Club where all the writer's. ac-
tors and bohemlans generally congregated.
Toole, Irving. Sothern. the Collinses,
Wilkie and MOrtmer-indeed, nearly every
body who was anybody in literature, art or
the drama-were to be found there IN the
wee short hours ayOnt the twal.' Well,
Just about this time Henry Nj. Stanley had
returned from finding Livingstone. Young
was to meet him in Paris and advise us
about his arrival in London, so that we
could get up a dinner for him on Sunday
at the Savage Club. Stephen Fiske, who
went over with James Gordon Bennett on
his celebrated yacht-race, was leading
member of the Savage. He was
one of the brightest men ever
knew-then editor of the Hornet
and an associate of Labouchere. Sala,
Yates, Lemon and others of that ilk, most
of whom l used to meet at the club. Fiske
agreed to get up the dinner We finally
found that there was not room in the club,
so we resorted to place Oh Leicester
Square called The Globe kept by lit
tie pudgy Frenchman. About o'clock in
the afternoon of the day set for the dinner
we got a telegram from Young stating that
Stanley could not be there in time. 1t was
subscription dinner, e. apiece, and
none of us had any cash TO throw away.
We didn't know what to do. Fiske, a
fellow of Infinite resource, said we must
give the dinner anyhow; everything
was ordered and we mustn't let it spoil.
Suddenly turning to me he said, Tom, how
are you up on Stanley?' / said, Il have been
deeply interested in all his thrilling adven-
lures and know them by heart We'll,
said he, you must be Stanley for tonight
and we will give the dinner TO you Well,

Sothern, doing the part of Sir Roderick
MurchisOn, President of the Royal Geo

upon to speak. and they say made the effort
of my life; even old stagers who were in

my meeting with Livingstone. When L

He then read as follows:
T. Mathilde de Croixluee, wife OF Gontran de Cour-
ellis declare this to be my last will and testament.
l ask my dear son, Rene, whose noble heart will
put him in sympathy with me, to join his prayers to
mine that heaven may forgive me for the action

wretchedness. Having married me with a sole view

throwing off this shameful hypocrisy, speak out
boldly and freely.
Therefore, give. devise and bequeath all my
property TO my dear friend Simon de Bourneval for
his life, and upon his death to my beloved son
Rene, and declare before the Supreme Judge of
the world that had it not been for the tender and
profound affection OF this friend for me l should
nave cursed my existence and my soul would have
gone out in utter and unutterable despair.

In an instant De Bourneval was on his feet, and
turning full upon De Courcls, lie replied in full
and measured voice:
" And pronounce II to be the work OF as pure
and noble a woman as ever drew the breath OF
life"
"Whatl beggar, adyenturer!" shrIeked De
Courcils, advancing upon his former friend, who
with folded arms stood calmly facing him, "do
you presume"
Here his throat closed and he stood gaSplng
conYusively.

his gaze fixed steadily on De Courcils' face.

When the two men crossed swords It seemed
as If il would require but 4 few moments for De
Courcils 10 make good his terrible threat for he
had well-meried reputation of being a most
skilful swOrdsmau and seemed much the har-
der and stronger man. AS the duellsts threw
themselves into position IL was noticed that De
Bourneval held his sword IN his left hand. De
Courcils attacked him with a fury that must
have paralyZed a less cool headed man. How
long would De BOurneval be able TO defend him
self against such an onslaught?
HaH invountarily escaped from DE Courcils'
lips and fendlsh Joy burned In his blood-shot
eyes.
He had pierced De BOurneyaPs sword arm.
But as quick as thought he had sprung out OF
the reach OF De Courcils' sword and in SO doing
changed bis sword to his right hand.
An ashen palOr Oyerspread De Courclls' face
as lie saw this Again lie TWO men were close
upon each other. De Courcils' spasmodic
strength had begun to spend It's force. He felt
II SLIPPING away from him and made SUPER
human but reckless effort to get past DE Bourne
vars guard. 1t cost him his life, for the next in
slant. DE Bournevars sword was th rust through

seconds arms.
A few weeks later Simon de BOurneyal, in his
own right and as Renes guardian, conveyed one
half Of The property received by him under the

ton OF things was not TO be permanent. 10 pre-
pare pleasant surprise for Mathllde on the oc-
casion OF little fete given at the chateau in
honor OF her birthday, De BOurneval had, with
the assistance of one OF The men OF all work
about the chateau. restrung and Tegilded the old
harp 10 the MUSHROOM.
The birthday fete, thanks to De BournevaPs
ineXhaustlble powers OF Invention, had proved
great success. Mathilde's tall, graceful figure
had fitted about among her guests, an almost
unearthly sweetness radiatng from her liquid
blue eyes. To De BOurneval she had never
seemed more beautiful, and he had followed her
movements with look akin TO alteration. After
the lasi guest had departed and deep silence
again tenanted The lofty corridors of Tie chateau

lie took her hand ana pressing it 10 bis lips

Matnilde sat down at the harp and troubled
look came Into De BournevaPs eyes az he
watched her. Clad in robe OF pure white, gar
injured with old lace, Which set of with eXquls-
lite effect the marble whlteness OF her skin, she
presented an ensemble as radiant saint or

AS Mathilde's voice died away with sigh, aud
her fair Psyche head bent forward till 1t rested
against the harp. De Bourneval threw himself
with a half groan, half sob, at her feet and
buried bis face In her lap.
"Mathilde, Matnilde, L can bear 1t no longer.

gentleman's private room
AS soon as SIR. Crandall heard the
name Of his caller he pFicked up his
ears and Was Immediately prepared TO
act as obsequionsly as an obsequious
man possibly could. under such circum-
stances.
For Joel Wilcox was 9 well-known
man In Frisco, bis enormous wealth
being matter OF public gossip. and
the little iynx-eyed broker thought he
was in FOR good stroke of business, ne
Of course surmising that tho millionaire
was on the lookout for an investment.
In this. as we know, he was doomed

what was coming when Mr. Wilcox
asked:
''Do you know ~ Leon Velasquez is in
town, Mr.. Crandall2" Now. tho
broker and velasqueE were bosom
croaies," having worked many quiet
and sometimes shady deals together.
Still. the broker was by far tho
shrewder Of the two men. and while
Velasquez brought tho lambs to the
slaughter Crandall managed to catch
most OF the blood. Therefore, when
this question was suddenly sprung upon
him be was decidedly surprised, but at
the same time was too old in the busi-
ness TO betray any undue agitation.
"Mr. Velasquez- Alb, yes, | remember
him now; the gentleman from San Pao-
LAP" he said, with assumed Indifference.
But why do you come here in search Of
that gentleman, Mr. Wilcox; it is hardly
probable that | should be aware OF the
fact even II he did happen to be in town

sat at his desk in the public Office.
"Well," said Mr.. Wilcox, 81 have

terms that could be supposed to know
much of his movements while in this

interested by this time and mentally
calculated: "What lisr!"
81 am not the sort OF man to beat
around the bush, and may as we'll be

You have OF course, heard OF my
