CHAPTER XIII.

The next six weeks passed like a
dream to Sir Carlos. He was defeated
at the election; but that did not seem
to tro ible him-nay in his heart he
was more pleased than If he had been
successful. Then he would have had
to live for some part Of the year in
London. whittier. he must perforce
take Maggie he shuddered as he
thought OF it-now he could hide him
self with her abroad.
The truth had come to him IN all
its bitterness. II was but boys
foolish uureasoning love that he had
for Maggie. He had seen the woman
who ought to have been his wife beau
tifuL refined, highbred Lady Gladys
Kerr. Not that he was base enough
to try to win her affections; BIC he
saw that for the asking it might have
been his. He saw that his mUther
desired it and hoped for nothing bet
ter. He saw. too. that Lady Gladys
liked him.
She had many lovers but one fol-
lowed her persistently, loved her
best would have given his life for
her, and would have married her for
her own sweet sake had she been
penniless. Lady Gladys was sorry
for him when she came 10 Firholme.
but the handsome face of Sir Carlos
had put everything else out of her
mind.
Sir Carlos saw now what life might
have been had he shown little self
control. There were times whom
Lady Gladys almost charmed him into
forgetfuluess-she was so brilliant so
witty. If he had made her mistress
OF Firholme, his mothers ride and
happiness and his own Joy would have
been so great He could not stay at
Firholme nurh longer; he must go
back TO his wife. he must tell his
mother OF the marriage and forget
all about Lady Gladys. He must bear
courageously what he had to bear; it
was his own do ng-no one else was
to blame.
In the meantime the valet watched
him without cessation. Hiram West
was ba Ted. Sir Carlos was always
most careful in destroying his letters.
He had learned this lesson years be-
fore. Not a scrap of an envelope or
letter was ever left to tel tales on him
Hiram West knew no more of Maggie
than when he entered Sir Carlos's
serviced. What surprised him most
was that Sir Carlos seemed to he i'm
love with Lady Gladys 1t was no
secret that Lady Gladys liked him.
The servants in the house spoke OF it
as though the match were already
made. It was talked Of too, in the
neighborhood.
While Sir Carlos was thinking
what pretext he could invent
for leaving home he mad a sud-
den and terrible shock. One of
the daily papers-honestly believing
that it was true-told its readers that
a marriage was on the tapis between
the beautiful and accomplished Lady
Gladys Kerr and Sir Carlos Carew, of
Firholme.
Lady Carew and the Baroness Cav
dor decided that it would be better for
Lady Gladys not to see the paper, and
she did not Tho baroness smiled.
and said that the freedom Of the press
in England was carried little too far
Lady Carew looked up with tears
in her eyes.
Il wish to heaven. she cried, i'm
petuously, that the news was true.

All Timekeepers Are Inaccurate.

The capacity of a watch for keep
ing good time is very much governed
by its construction and its more or
less perfect finish. 1t cannot be ex-
pected of the best horizontal watch
that it should always keep good
time, and even less so of the inferior
make of machine made watches
which are nowadays manufactured
and sold for so, $50. and $50 in such
large numbers. The changes of oil,
the variation in temperature. the di-
versity of humidity of atmosphere,
all greatly affect the going of a
watch. Indeed, it is only the most
perfect finish which neutral
lies the adverse influence to
the greatest degree. As a
matter of fact, no watch keeps
perfectly correct time. and even the
best chronometers used in observa.
tories and on board ships must be
regulated according to tables which
are kept TO fix the variations to
which all watches are liable. New

ROSALIND MAILER AS PRINCE METAYA.
Rosalind dances like fairy, as the say.
ing is, and, during each year Of her briei
existence since she was two years old she
has danced in the parlors of we'll known
society people in all parts of the United
States. She never dances for money. Her
work is always either for charity or ia
give JOY to others without the payment Of
the mighty dollar. AS might be supposed
the little ones proclivities are for the stage
but to this her parents vigorously object
During the past year Rosalind's favoritA
song has been one of the "Wang" melodies
She has the costume Of Prince Metays
and initiates Della Fox to perfection Miss
Fox learned her first stage dancing of Mr.
Mailer, and although but baby at the
time little Rosalind would take the steps
in imitation of Miss Fox, and would follow
her delightedly all through the dancing
lesson. Several times, while away at some
fashionable summer or winter resort, Ro
salind has drilled company of children
so that they could sing the "Baby Song
from "Wang" very creditably. When
her work was completed, the youthful in
structor would herself learn a new fancy
dance. And then, to give variety to the
performance, she would play and sing.

IN THE DRAWING ROOM.

The Conveuasnt "At Home"-The Art Of
Ents -taining Successfully.
In times gone by the parlor was, as It ID
now, the best room in the house. But Of
late years, according to English ideas, It
has been designated as the drawing room.
At the present day 1t is an apartment BE-
longing exclusively to the ladies Of the
household, ~ the walls of which the best
authorities tel US that paper Of a solid
color or small pattern is decidedly prefer
able. It's color should be of a subdued
tint, forming background for the etch-
ings, engxnrsngs and pictures that will
adorn this particular room. Nowadays
also, accorts1k to Good Housekeeping,
from which we quote, an cat Home" takes
the place Of old fashioned parties, and al.
though we have the o'clock tea, the
musicale ana the luncheon, yet the "At
Home" meets the requirements of all 30
ciety people.
The invitations should be sent week In
advance. When the evening arrives the
hostess should be in readiness at the time
appointed, standing at the entrance of the
drawing room to greet her guests as they
enter tho room.
A good hostess must have the bra very Of
a general, the manners Of diplosnat and
q perfect knowledge of human nature,
besides knowing how to bring ooegenial
people together. The shy and diffidsnt
should be made her special care, and peo-
pie of note should not be ovcriooked.
When collstion is served, the servants
should be taught their duties, and seats
should be obtained for those who are un-
able to stand. A clever story may b. ron.
dere1, a poem recited o. some music be
given for a short time only. Conversation
Is the pleasure Of all good takers. and =
continual showing of talent u . great bore
to every one present. Make every lady at
your house person of consequence, expect
for yourself neither glory, admiration nor
attention. Bring people together who
have like ideas and congenial tastes. Never
converse more than few moments with
any one person, be attentive to all, and
you will have at least acquired the great
and true secret of the art of entertaining.

ond, with 24,3l0 miles; Great Britain and
Ireland third, with 226S5 miles; Russia
fourth, with 19,345 miles.
Wurtemburg and Denmark are the coun-

in the construction of railways since 1885.
while in Asia, apart from the l8,S75 miles

Gently constructed by the Russians is 895
