l had another motive in asking you to
Abbotsville besides the hope Of num-
bering you amongst my friends"
Indeed, Sir Frederick
And not an unnatural one, as
think you will acknowledge. When /
was abroad with my neice last month,
we met at Rouen your nephew, Mr..
Hamilton Shore"
him?''
mot very well, begging your par
don. He got up a clandestine CORE
spondence with Carmen, who is extreme
ly thoughtless and undisciplined, and
I should never have heard anything
about it, 1 suppose, unless 1 had hap
pened to catch him, one evening,
climbing UP the posts of the veranda.
I thought he was thief, and was
about to collar him as such when he
told me his name and address, adding
he was nephew to Mr.. Ruthven."
81 hope you kicked him we'll"
Sir Frederic smiled deprecatingly
Kicking is not much in my line, Mr.
Ruthyen, but I examined the young
fellow, and finding him to be a likely
lad, and that Carmen had carried her
Irritation rather far with him, | in
vited him to Abbotsville, always sub
ject to your approval. that I might see
something more of him before 1 made
any decision, one way or the other
''You would not object. then. to his
marrying Miss Flower
mot if he is steady and honorable.
My niece will have a considerable for
Ao6
portions of her father and myself, but
also the house and grounds of Abbots-
vile. Her husband, therefore, will
have no need to work for her, and she
is so uncertain, poor girl, in her CO
prices and actions, that [ should be
thankful to see her married before any
thing happens to myself
"And so you want to have my opin-
ion of my nephew, Hamilton Shore?"
Just so. Is he a young man likely
to make the girl a good husband, and
the estate a steady master?"
1t was on the tip of Ruthyen'S tongue
to tell Sir Frederic the whole story Of
Hamilton Shores treatment of Margar-
ct, but he refrained. A man may use
one girl i'll and another well; it would
be no proof of his nephews want of at
lection fer Miss Flower, and might in
jure Margaret's future prospects. No;
if the lad was really unworthy, let them
find it out for themselves. as he had
done, and no better opportunity could
be afforded them than that which
brought the young traitor into contact
with the girl he had deserted and the
girl he had sworn devotion to at one
and the same time. So he resolved to
further the plan of Master Hamilton s
visit to Abbotsville as much as lay in
his power, and leave the result to its
natural conclusion
When he answered Sir oFrederic's
question, it was to this effect:
ITO decide what sort OF a husband
boy OF nineteen will make is difficult
matter; but Hamilton Shore has long
head when he chooses to make use of it,
and keen eye to the main chance.
do not think from what I know of him
that he will make ducks and brakes
of your niece's property; but as to the
other matter, should think sheoshould
judge for herself"
You would put no obstacles, then.
In the way Of their engagement"

THE BIG TENT.

The German Staff of Phy- sicians and Surgeons have certainly adopted a unique style of advertising. The performance given by the De Monto company under their auspices grow more popular each day and our best citizens are now patrons at the Big Tent. The total absence of any thing of a suggestive nature makes the performance such as mothers and fathers can with pleasure take their families to witness. The programme last night was as usual different from preceding entertainments. Carl Heiter and DolIie Portion in most amusing sketch opened ,IIhe programme. Mel bourne, the female impersonator, kept the audience in good humor, while the funny man set them to howling with laughter. The petite dancers, the O'Mally sisters, are favorites with every one. Tom Kelly sang several of the latest eastern successes, much ito the satisfaction of the audience. The work of George Dunbar was done in good style. But the feature of the night was ldhe nail driving contest. Several ladies entered the contest to see who could drive five ten-penny naIils first, the contest creating great merriment. It will continue through out the week,

Edward Riley Caught Crawling Out of
 a Hotel Window.

Edward Riley could not explain to the police judge yesterday morning how he happened to be found crawling out of a window at the Lemon hotel.
 Deputy Marshal Hooker was passing the hotel Sunday might when his at tention was attracted by seeing a pair of legs hanging out of a window. He knew that it was am unusual method of leaving a room, SO he waited for further developments. The legs were followed by face which seemed strangely familiar to the officer. Just as the individuals feet touched the ground Hooker asked him what he meant by using a window for a door, Riley informed the officer in maudlin language that he was looking for his bed, but being in an advanced state of inldoxication he couldn't find the key hole, and so used the window for his mode of ingress and egress. Inquiry of the hotel clerk revealed the fact that Riley was not registered at the hotel nor was he given the room to which he assigned himself. Examination of the room revealed a bundle of clOh- ing that had been gathered by Riley, which presumably he intended carry ing away with him.
 Riley disclaimed any knowledge of climbing out of the window, but says bhat if he did, it was the whisky he drank that was responsible for the af- fair. The police judge gave him ten days for not being able to give an oc-
 count of himself and an additional twenty days on suspicion that he con- ltemplated burglary.

 A number of city people visited the Indian school Sunday afternoon for the purpose of witnessing the military manoeuvres of the four com panies of Indian infantry. The Indian lads march wllh the precision of veteran soldiers and obey the commands of the officer in charge with promptitude and exactness. Captain Wickham says it is remarkable how quickly they learn the movements and he is of the opinion that Indians are natural born soldiers. They are drilled every Thursday and Sunday afternoons.
 A large crowd attended the game of baseball played at the park Sunday afternoon between the Vivian de Monto team and the Phoenix nine Elton Lambert and Byron Hartwell com prised the battery for the home club and the Mcdonald brothers for the De Montos. A very exciting game was played, which was won by the Phoenix team, the score standing 20 to 10 in its favor. A box of cigars was awarded the winning team. During the first inning Lambert stopped foul ball with his jaw, the consequence being that two of his teeth were knocked out and a gash cut in his chin. Liniment was liberally used and he was able to continue the game.
