ness with which it was uttered. In
stead Of this he perceived that as he
spoke shadow of displeasure clouded
Mrs. Maynard's face and something
like disdain curved the proud lips. Only
for an instant; she recovered herself
quickly and rejoined with gay little
laugh:
"Ah, you wretched flattererl How
often have you made that pretty speech?

leisure and then tell me the result of
your deliberations. All, Mrs. Hunting
don-pray excuse me, Mr.. Northl-I am
so delighted to see you'll No, the library,
dear; this way, please"
And Mrs. Maynard had vanished,
leaving North standing at the drawing
room door with the letter that she had
given him still in his hand. He was
looking at it with almost as much dis
may as If 1t had been a package of dyna-
mite. Finally, in mechanical way, as
if he were acting more from the pressure
of circumstances than from any clear
purpose in his own mind, he put the
envelope into his pocket and made his
escape somewhat precipitately from the
house.

1T 10 useless to ask him any ques-
hons," thought North, despairingly.
"If Dennis o'Reilly were his own
brother he would scarcely know it in
his present condition, so might as well
pass on. 1t is fortunate thing that he
doesn't know me!'
With this self-congratulation he had
turned away when he was electrified
by hearing his name pronounced by
Mr.. Wymer in tones loud enough to at
tract general attention.
"Northl shay, North, hold oni
Lemme speak to you-ticlar bish-
nushl"
North paused irresolutely and looked
back at Wymer; then, deciding to pay
no attention to the man, he turned
away again and started down the
street at slightly accelerated pace.
Instantly Mr.. Wymer, without stir
ring from his careless, lounging atti-
tude, raised his voice higher and called
more vociferously:
Il shay! Hooray there, North, dye
hear? Lemme speak t. you Just minute
-tic'lar bishnush, North, dye hear?"
North heard, and SO did everyone else.
Gentlemen In the surrounding business
places lounged up to the doors and win
dows and looked smilingly out; passers-
by turned their heads curiously to see
what was going on; small boys walked
backward very nearly off the curb
stone in their anxiety to witness the
finale; and, to add to North's discom-
future, everyone whose eye he met as he
retraced his steps nodded in familiar,
friendly way.
Wymer watched his return with a
smile of stupid satisfaction.
"Now, Wymer," said North, as he
stepped up close to his tormentor, '1et
me warn you not to waste any words.
If you have anything to say to me say
1t at once, in the shortest possible time.
Do you hearP"
North, are you my friend?" in
quired Mr.. Wymer, in reproachful
tones, as he regarded North with blink
ing eyes.
North's first impulse was to respond
with slightly italicized negative, but
fearing that such course would only
exasperate Wymer and make matters
worse he conciliated instead.
Nov, see here, Wymer," he said,
''Pm perfectly willing to use all my in
fuence to elect you city attorney, and
doesn't that prove that I'm your friendP"
AS he spoke shout of laughter
arose from every side. He could not
imagine what it was that gave such
point to his remarks, but he saw that IL
was at once perceived and appreciated.
Wymer apparently did not heed the
laughter; he noticed only North, to
whom he Immediately addressed the
imperious inquiry:
"Why did you run, then, II you're
friend er miner"
"Tm not runningp returned North,
amazed.
"You are." said Mr.. Wymer, with the
ready and fearless spiSFt Of eSntrshc-
ton that heated political campaign
usually develops. What have they got
you on their dude ticket for, II you
amt runnin'2 l tell you, North, your
party's aplayed-out set er thieves an
scoundrels, an you're mother, an you'll
never be 1ected city 'torney while
er worr stRndsl Dye hear?" And,
starting up energetically, Mr.. wymer
emphasized these statements with some
violent gestures, bringing his clenched
fists into an altogether disagreeable
proximity TO North's face.

White, and All HUMANS.
For greater safety the sultan Is al
ways protected by both Nubians
(blaclis) and Albanians (whites), for
these two regiments execrate each
other, and in their divisions the padi-
sha feels secure, says the New York
Herald. The "black guards" are his
favorites, for they are so exceedingly
fierce when they have cutting down
work to do, and they are also less ra-
pacious than the Albanians, whose
claws are always being extended for
baclSsheesh. Taking them all round,
however, the two corps of pretorians,
black and white, form gang of unmit-
igated scoundrels. They are superb
looking rufiians, magnifcently dressed,
overfed, overpaid and enjoying practi-
cal immunity for every offcnse they
may commit except that of being negli-
gent on duty. They are the terror Of
the whole quarter surrounding the pal
ace, and the sultan himself Is so afraid
OF them that he is constantly trying to
bribe them into loyalty by gifts of
money.
While the half-starved Turkish sol
diers in Macedonia, Armenia and Ana
tolla often remain for weeks without
pay, the Nubians and Albanians are ca
priciously regaled with tips" which
sometimes amount to R+5 a man. Tho
two corps have only to quarrel and the
sultan immediately sets himself 10
smooth matters by pouring down q
golden shower into their miscreant
paws. On the other hand, II a soldier
OF one corps misbehaves by showing
himself insubordinate or by going TO
sleep on guard a dozen soldiers Of the
other corps are called in to operate upon
him. Then there Is private strang-
ling ora private bastinadoing, as the
case may be. But In either event the
work is executed with dispatch and

peculiarities is an interesting habit of
listening at the doors?" he mused.
"0ne would fancy so from the cautious
way she lowers her voice. By Jovel I
wish were well out of this! What
will come next, in the way of startling
deyelopments?"
"You know" Mrs. Maynard con-
tinued, in the same sweet, guarded
tone, breaking in upon North's medi-
tations, show persistently he has op-
posed me all through this affair. He
has perfectly unreasonable horror Of
litigation, as well as strong desire to
thwart and annoy me, and he tried in
every way TO prevent me from urging
my claim in the first place. OF course,

self TO be guided by Maj. Maynard's s

She sighed family as she spoke, lean
ing back in her chair with her eyes
downcast.
North's countenance wore disturbed
expression during the interval Of silence
that ensued.

gave up the attempt In despair.
AS he was turning back listlessly, the
name Maynard" caught his eye. There
1t was--'Maj. Charles Maynard, No. 8S
Delaplaine street."
"Her husband" reflected North, with
a vague feeling Of having satisfactorily
settled one point 81 suspected so from
the way she referred to him. A crotch

and this, among other professional
cards displayed in the advertising col
umns, had arrested his attention:
North & Wescott, Attorneys and
Counselors at Law. Offices 8 and 5
Market Square"
North & Wescott'-a partner, by
Jovel" was the first comment that
flashed through his mind; "'3 and
Market square;' If I ever can find the
place, think l must call at my Office
and see how things look there. North
-North--h'm! Not in the directory"
he added after hasty search for the
name. "But then, it's an old edition,
and probably doesn't contain the names
ofone-half the present population. And
now, about this o'Reilly; it's perfectly
evident that he isn't here either. How
shall go to work to find him? Per-
haps this boy can tell me something
about him. At least can inquire"
And closing the book, North began
loosely:
young man, what sort of directory
do you call this, anyway"
The youth just turned his head to-
ward North on being thus suddenly and
familiarly addressed.
Good enough" was his laconic re-
sponse, given with an intonation that
strongly suggested the additional
words: "For youl"

blank look, as he thrust his elbow
on the shelf directly behind him anS
slowly turned himself around until h,
was facing North. "Dennis O'Reilly?'
he repeated in the strongly disparaginf
tone by which people frequently at
tempt to justify the ignorance thai
they are compelled to confess. "Nevel

Guilty In finding him. Who would be

Can you suggest anyone at all2"
The boy shook his head as II giving II
up at the outset, but nevertheless re-
fecting seriously for moment. Glanc.
ing idly into the street, he saw gentle
man standing on the opposite corner.
Instantly the youths countenance
lightened up with that peculiar illum-
ination which is the unmistalable indi-
cation Of new idea.
There's Mr. Wymer, over there on
the corner" he said, with nod toward
the gentleman. ASK him. He's a
ward politician, and he knows all such
people. He's better'n Directly, Mr..
Wymer is. II anyone can tell you, he
can"
Such an opportunity was not to be lost.
With thanks for the suggestion North
left the store and hurried across the
street.
A gentleman, richly dressed In black
broadcloth, with glossy silk hat and a
dazzling gold watch chain, was leaning
against the corner lamp post, gazing
about him with an air of supreme salts
faction. II required only a practiced
glance 10 discover the cause OF this
compiacency.
"A ward politicianl He looks like IT,"
thought North; then lifting his hat he
addressed the gentleman:
"Mr. Wymer, believer

response, as Mr.. Wymer turned his
smiling gaze upon North without
changing his attitude in the least

"Ah, indeedr' rejoined North, with
an air Of interest "City attorney? So
you aspire to that officer Do you think
you'll get it2"
"Get II? Dye mean TO shay won't
get it2 Come on, now, and back II up
II you darel" cried Mr.. Wymer, sudden
ly assuming pugilistic attitude; then,
as this brief paroxysm Of resentment
passed of and his overpowering good
humor returned, he subsidized into his
former attitude of repose and inquired,
but amiably: Get whatP'
North did not wish 10 pursue the sub
ject, 80 he merely responded In an
equally stupid and amiable way; "Ahl
yes, very true, Mr.. Wymer," which the |

mind, looked upon as not only very |
