attempt at a direct answer, feeling prob

she feels that some answer is neces-

PART L.


Sir John Blount--late captain in Ter
Majesty's Life Guards-has just settled
himself comfortably in his basket chair
on the veranda, to read the morning
papers.
Yesterday. passing through town on
his return from the Rockies, he had
given directions to have his papers sent
down TO him to the Court, but he had
forgotten - give hint TO the servants
there of his sudden return from abroad.
Hence complications arose on his ar
rival last night. But Bonner was with
him and that meant ease and comfort
no matter how vile the situation. Bon
ner had been his servant, and when he
threw up his commission a year ago, on
coming into the title-preferring TO go
abroad and shoot big game TO sitting
idle at home hoping vainly for war
he had bought out Bonner, at the lat
ter's request, and taken him with him
on his big shoot. Why. he hardly knew
except that Bonner was attached TO
him, was very handy man, and an ex-
ccllent cook. and-well perhaps he was
attached to Bonner, too.
Bonner had proved not only equal TO
a hurried dinner last night-ordering
the servants aoout in great style--but
John--a young man Of about thirty-two
or three, tall, dark. handsome and dis
1inctly distinguished in appearance
with cigarette in his mouth is lazily
scanning the Times. Presently, the
morning being "A very sunny one in the
heart of June, Sir John drops the paper
TO his knees and looks idly out on the
landscape before him. From hill TO hill,
the golden light is hanging bridges of
sunshine. In the valleys tiny breeze
is playing with the field flowers; on the
river the water lilies are floating softly,
lightly-and on the lawn
Good heavens! What is that ON th>.

guerites and singing unknown, incon-
sequent melodies as she draws near.
"By George, what pretty child!"
says he. She is very close TO him now
and involuntarily he rises. She had not
been conscious of his presence till he
moved, SO bent was she OH her pretty
moon flowers, and seeing her start at
his sudden appearance. he drops back
again upon his seat, whereon the little
maiden steps out again and advances
slowly, cautiously indeed this time,
hut ever nearer until she is close to his
chair on the veranda.
Here she stops dead short, looks at
him carefully for a bare second, and
then, taking wisp of her pretty yellow
hair in the first finger and thumb of her
tiny hand, pulls it half nervously, half
coqucttishly across her eyes and mouth.
Use Margie," says she, shyly.
"You don't say so," says Sir John,
rising again, this time with some sort
cf confidence. He filings down his paper
and holds out his hands to the small,

THE STAYING POWER OF WIND
"Why, you don't call this windy, do
you ?" asked Judge Jones. "While /
was down in Cheyenne yesterday I
saw an empty -four barrel stuck up
against the side of brick house, with
nothing to hold it in that position but
the wind. 1t had been up there five
days. Yes, sir. The wind hadn't let
up enough in that time to let it drop"
An old and well-dressed gentleman
who had been standing near, and had
heard the judges statement, replied ::
"Pardon me, sir, but I cannot be-
lieve that. I have lived in Cheyenne
IL years and I have never known the
wind to hold an empty barrel against
the side of house longer than four
days."
This started a general conversation
on the subject of Wyoming winds in
general and Cheyenne winds in par
ticular, and man who looked as
though he might be liar from some
where near Red Butte or Sherman,
said that sometime last spring, while
in Cheyenne, the wind blew the sign
off a dry goods store and carried it
across the street and up against har-
ness shop, and held it there for three
weeks.
Just then the train came laundering
in and the wind question was adjourn

A TRIFLE MIXED.-A fashionable
young lady visited q cooking school,
the other afternoon, where her atten-
ton was equally divided between a
new dress worn by an acquaintance
and the directions for making a cake.
Upon returning home, she undertook
to write down the recipe for making
the cake for her mother, and the old
lady was paralyzed when she read /:
"Take two pounds of -four, three rows
of pleating down the front, the whites
of two eggs cut bias, pint of milk
ruffled around the neck, halfpound of
currants with seven yards of bead
trimming, grated lemon peel with
Spanish lace fichu stir well, and add
a semi-fitting paletot with visite
sleeves; butter the pan with Brazilian
topaz necklace, and garnish with
iceing and jetted passementrie; bake
in a moderately hot oven until the
overskirt is tucked from the waist
down on either side, and finish with
large bows" Her mother said she
wouldn't eat such a cake, and she
thought these new tangled ideas in
cooking ought to be frowned down.

A $1,000 WORD.
Two Papers at the Price Of One and
a Chance at 81, 900, Additional.

The Third Missing Word Contest Of
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution,
In Which $1,000 Will Be Distrib-
uted to Successful Contestants on
the 1st Of May.
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution has
inaugurated it's third consecutive "miss-
ing word" contest, which began on the
lst of March and close on the lst of May
sixty days.
It publishes the cashiers receipt for
the special deposit account of 81, 600 to be
paid to the person, or persons, who, in
subscribing to The Weekly Constitution,
names correctly the missing word in the
following sentence:
1.-THE Right Of '--' is the very
essence Of the constitution"
The sentence is taken from historical
publication, and the sentiment to which
1t gives expression is that Of an eminent
writer.
By special arrangement with The Week.
ly Constitution, that great paper and
THE ENQUIRER can be obtained for one
year at almost the price Of one paper.
Not only that; but under our arrange
ment with The Weekly Constitution
every person who takes advantage of this
both papers, will be entitled to guess at
the missing word. All clubbing subscrip-
tions should be sent to THE ENQUIRER
with each subscribers guess at the miss
ing word plainly written. The guess and
the name and address of each subscriber
will be forwarded by us to The Consti-
tuition.
The Constitutions first "missing word
contest" closed on the 1st of January, and
but one person, Mr.. M. l.. Britain, q
hardworking school teacher, guessed the
missing word, receiving therefor check
for 81 600. Its second contest closed on
stitution of Monday, March Sth, will con-

A SMALL CHANCE For HIS MONEY.

A SMALL CHANCE For HIS MONEY
A Missouri paper, to illustrate the
hopeful feeling that some men have
when they are in debt, tells of farm
er who owed Walt Perkins twenty
FIVE dollars, and had owed him for
years. One day he met Walt and
said, "Don't be uneasy Walt; I have
the thing all fixed by which I can pay
you" Walt asked him how he had
got it fixed, and the old granger said,
"Well, Walt, if nothing happens, next
year I hope to raise good crop OF
corn, and intend to trade some of
the corn for a yoke of oxen, and !
know an old man in St. Charles county
that owns an old mare and he wants
to trade her for a yoke of oxen.
Now, Walt, when raise the corn and
get the oxen I will make the trade for
the old mare, and then 1 will bring her
home and raise mule colts-and Walt,
the very first mule colt I sell you
shall have the money"
