A ragged, barefooted boy, crossing
sweeper, had dotted his cap to the Ouch
ess of Sutherland in the hope OF recog-
milton, when he observed well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street, as if trying TO force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was a look Of
distress on the duchess face.
"Scuse me, lady," said boys voice
beside her, 'shall punch is 'eadT
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
"Why, it's Jemmier'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and turned
a sort of violent "cartwheelr so adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet in the middle of the offensive
mans waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across The mouth
and with the other had deposited hand
full of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of policeman, who dragged him
away to the nearest police station. He
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault when
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af-
fair to the inspector on duty.
At her request the boy was set at
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the inspector:

At the Nice Race Meeting.

A race meeting is much the same all
the world over, and the Nice gathering
can hardly be called the exception.
There is the same noisy crowd and
crush at the railway station-the races
are held at LIE Var, some few miles out
of Nice proper-and the familiar line
of beggars, blind, halt, lame and more
so, as ready with curses as blessings
the way from the station to the course.
The three card trickster, the fortune
teller and the whole brotherhood of the
ring, each with bag and board, the lat
ter bearing an English name, as a rule,
are to be seen, each in his appro-
pirate place. The sun may shine with
greater regularity and brilliance and
the landscape with its slim rows of
eucalyptus trees look more delicate and
fragile than we are accustomed to, but
otherwise all has the appearance of the
correct card.
It is a charming little course at LIE
Var, and in fine weather it would be
difficult to find anywhere more repre-
sentative gathering of beauty and fash
ion than may be seen in the paddock on
big day.-Pall Mall Budget.
