Mr.. Kennard looked at M. Gerbert for
some moments in silence Then, going
10 the msntel-piece he began TO I'LL his
pipe from a toabcco jar which stood upon
a bracket.
"Gerbert," he said, "you promised to
introduce me 10 Madame Gerbert. When
are you going to keep your promise?"
"It is too late"
"Don't talk nonsense" The big man
had filled his pipe. AS he lighted it he
pulled out clouds OF smoke. 'Gerbert, II

While NJ. Gerbert seemed hesitating,
Mr.. Nash spoke.
"My dear Gerbert, Kennard is only an
Englishman, but, assure you, he's an
unusual specimen, even for an English
man. I'll kick him il you like.

this evening, my friends, about eight.'
For some minutes after the Frenchman
had gone neither of the EDglishmen said
anything. Mr.. Kennard, his head thrown
back, his pipe between his teeth, puffed
clouds of smoke toward the ceiling. He
was the first to speak.

Pause; more smoke. ''Should you saw
that the trouble is with his wife or with

"My experience teaches me that when a
man has trouble with his money he also.

Tears were in her eyes. Mr.. Kennard
dashed across the room TO her.
"For goodness sake, child, don't cry.
Come sit down, and tell me all about il. -
"Monsieur do not touch me-"

She withdrew her hand from the pocket

"What, then, is the deed which You

Although Mr.. Kennard spoke to his
friend in English, something IN his man

glimpse at the sort of man he really
was. With understanding the tears came
again into her eyes.

me. wish you, Monsieur, a good day.
Before they could stop her, she had
gone. Willy Nash stared at the door
which she had pulled to behind her.
"Stark mad, - he said.
Mr.. Kennard looked from the door to-
ward him-his face was still one vivid
note of exclamation.

WIN Leave the Senate.

HARRISBURG. Aug. 3l,--It is stated, on
what is considered good authority. that
Senator Quay had more at stake In this
fight than the state chaIrmanship, the con-
troll of the Pennsylvania delegation to the
next Republican national convention and
the national craftsmanship. He had his
eye, it is said, upon the gubernatorial
chair, and will be "a candidate for that
place. His term of senator does not ex-
pire until 1895, but he could resign from
the senate couple of months before his
term expires, and could, US governor,
name his successor.

HOTELS AND SUMNER RESORTS.

rHR HOTEL M4JEsrIo.

A Notable Success-Ihe Orohestras Music
 at the Dinner From 6 to Much Appreoi-
 ated-The Roof Garden Paradise in Hot
 Weather-How This Magnificent House
 Has Sprung Into Popular Favor--Many
 Arrivals-Unsolicited Compliments on
 Every Hand.
 The success the Majestic hotel Is meet ing with Is commensurate with the great enterprise displayed by the own CTS in erecting so large and fine hotel. and so handsomely and splendidly equipped. The hotel has already many
 notable people among its arrivals dur ing the past week, who have keen de- lighted with the magnificent furnish ings, carpets and decorations, to say
 nothing of the service, which is excel
 lent. The orchestra each evening at
 the dinner has rendered sweet strains
 of music, delighting the guests, and
 this being something very novel for our
 city. When the house was opened the
 management decided to leave one floor
 unfurnished for local families. This floor contains ten suites with private bath rooms. Five of these and seven furnished suites on other floors were rented to permanent families in "a few days. The management now regret that they left any suites unfurnished, and have given orders to furnish all suites not rented, as the transient de- mand is such as to require all the rooms being ready for use at a moments mo- tice. So there will be no more unfur- nished suites. This shows the great de- mand for a first-class house up to date and how it is appreciated, and the house has not yet been advertised outside of this city. With such a first-class house, with moderate prices, the enterprising gentlemen conducting this house will no doubt be well rewarded for their eff forts. A roof concert will be given once a week for the guests and their friends, and last but not least, the tonsorial par Tor has been liberally patronized, not only by the guests, but by people living in that section.
 The house is meriting all the success it is receiving. The management have done splendidly and are receiving com pliments on every hand. They may
 well feel pr2ud of their undertaking.
 Their traveiing guests are so pleased that it is stated that they are writing
 uP LliS llOuSS O4 tliCll oWll NOiillOlf alAA publishing the news in other cities. This all tells, for when one traveller is pleased he sends others, and so the management feel that it will be unnec- essary for them to make any extra eff forts, except to just keep up the service to it's present standard. They announce that they have the best French chefs in the country, and say to any who doubt it, try one of their dinners from 6 to 9 and you will need nothing more to convince you. Even the music will delight your senses, to say nothing of the beautiful dining room and the sur roundings.
