WHEN A MANS SINGLE.
Tcontlnued from Seventh Page

Rob appreciated the iattery, but his
pride made him say that the literary
life was not the reporters.
II always read the Mirror" contln-
ued Nell, on whom the moon was hay-
ing bad effect tonight, "aGd often
wonder who writes the articles. There
wsss book review In it few days ago
that IL liked very much"
''Do you remember what the book
was:" asked Rob, jumping into the pit.
Let me see" said Nell, putting her
hesd 20 the side; ''it was-yes, II was a
novel cal!ed-called The ScOrn Of
Scorns.'
Rob's good angel was very near him
al that moment, but not near enough 10
put her palm over bis mouth.
THAT review was mine" said Rob,
with uncaled-for satisfaction.
WAS it?" cried his CONF Gnion, pull
Ing away her arm viciouSly.
The path had taken them to the top
OF the pile Of rocks, from which 10 is
sheer descent OF a 100 feet 10 the Dome.
At this point the river Is Joined by a
smaller, but not less noisy stream, which
rushes at IL 81 right angles. Two or the
castle walls rise up here as II part or the
cliff, and though the rock goes round
them, they seem to the angler, looking
I'D from the opposite side OF the Dome,
TO be part Of the rock. From the win
dows that look TO the west and north
one can see down into the black waters
and hear the Ferret, as the smaller
stream is called, ding itself over Jaggled
boulders into the Dome.
The rayine coming upon him suddenly,
took away Rob's breath, and ne hardly
felt Nell snatch away her arm. She
stood back, undecided what TO do for q
moment, and they were separated by a
few yards. Then Rob heard a man 5
voice, soft and low, but passionate. lie
knew IL 20 be Sir Clement Dowton 5,
though he lost the words. A girls voice
answered, however; voice so exqOiS-
itely modulatei, 80 clear and pure, that
Rob trembled with delight al IL. This
Is what it said:
"No, Sir Clement Dowton. l bear you
no IN will, but do not love you. Years
ago made an idol and wOrshiDed it, be-
cause I knew no better, but l am fool
ish girl no longer, and l know now that
Il was thing OF clay"
To ROb'S amusement he found himself
murmuring these words even before
they were spoken. de seemed 10 know
them so we'll that had the speaker
missed anything he could have put her
right. IL was not sympathy that
worked this marvel. He had read all
this before. or something very like 1t,
IN The ScOTn Of SCOrns."
Nell, too, heard the voice, but did not
catch the words. She ran forward, and,
as she reached Rob, tall girl in white,
with a dark hood over her head, pushed
aside a bush and came into view.
MARY" cried Miss Meredith, D." this
gentleman here is the person that wrote
that fla the ttTrOr. Let me Introduce

then Nell shraBk back in amazement as
she saw who was with her friend.
"Sir Clement DOwtOn" she exclaimed.
Rob, however, did not see her, nor see
the barouet, for looking up with q
guilty feeling at his heart, his eyes met

COLLISION.
Just before Stirling made bis dive 1t
occurred to Mr.. Cleveland that 1t was
a good opportunity to go back and see
his friend Florence. So he opened the
stage door and slowly walked down to
the 'tormentor" entrance, quite oollv-
ious Of his gross violation OF stage etl-
quette, as Stirling came diving IL.
Mr.. Strings head struck the Presi-
dent souarely amidships and his pro-
gress was arrested.
There was half groan and hall
grunt from His Excellency as he COL
lapsed and sprawled over the actor.
For a minute both lay writing on
the floor and untangling themselves. 1t
was not a pleasant meeting.
Stirling finally got on his feet and
helped the President up.
II beg your pardon, sir" said ne.
"Mr. Florance told me TO meet you, but
I did not intend to do il in quite such
forcible way. / am very sorry sir"
By that time Mr.. Cleveland had got
his breath. "It's all right, my boy"
said he; ''you was attending to your
business and I wasn't to NINE"
SMOOTHING IT OUT.
Then they went to the property room.
There Mr.. Florence introduced Ibis
little stage manager" as he called Stir
ling to the President. In the light the
latter recognized him.
why" said he, "if am not mistak-
en- you made me feel uncomfortable once
before in Buffalo. Then you knocked
down my spirits and this time you
knocked down my body. What will you
do the next time? For my part think
it is time you stopped, but II all my re-
verses end as happily as those you gave
me shan't complain"
And that is how an actor stood Cleve-
land on his head twice, as the story runs
in the Five AS Club.

Mr.. Porter, who is very approach
able and everyday man, was born at
Lawrenceburg, Ind, sixty-eight years
ago, and is consequently the senior
member of the European ministerial
force. He graduated from ASbury uni
versity when but nineteen years old,
studied law and was admitted to,the bar
the same year ne became old enough to
vote. At Indianapolis he served as city
attorney and once held partnership
with President Harrison. lie was in
Congress in 1858, a member OF the judi
ciary committee, was reelected and al
terward accepted an appointment as
comptroller OF the currency. The nom
ination for governor was offered him in
1850 and after memorable contest with
Governor Gray he was elected. This
ended his active political life. His term
expired, he devoted his whole time to
literary matters.
When Mr.. Harrison was nominated II
was Mr.. Porter's speech that did the
business. He was urged to accept the
gubernational nomination by the lndi-
ana Republicans in the following cam
paign, but he absolutely refused. Min
lister Porter has twice been married, but
Is now a widower. He wanted the Ital-
ian mission because Of the great advan-
tsges il offers for historical and literary
research. While his receptions and
social events have not been as brilliant
as those OF his predecessors, yet none of
them ever administered the public
duties better than Mr.. Porter. He was
largely responsible for the amicaole set
Element OF the New Orleans matter.
The right haDd men-the men in the
legation who work-are Charles NJ.
Wood, the vice consul, who knows the
foreign diplomats and members OF the
royal family so well that he calls them
by their first names, and ex-GoverDor
Augustus o. Bourn, consul general. Mr..
Wood left Vermont in 1878. and is one
of the twelve secretaries OF legation ap-
pointed by the government practically
for life. He has lived here so long he
is as thoroughly an Italian as the most
pronounced American peanut man, but
is thoroughly American In tastes and al
that pertains robustness.
Mr.. Bourn has had q career similar to
