got back to his room he found a little note:

works il off in boating So Arthur Pelew
took a fisherman's boat at once and re-
tired into the bay, where the wind was
rising.
He had only known Monica Frewen for
three short weeks, but three weeks are
more than enough to change the current
of life or to color a future. And Arthur
Pelew was very much in love with Miss
Frewen. He could hardly himself have
analyZed his feelings toward her. Three
weeks before, he was merely the average
young man of science, with a dog.natic
conviction Of the sufficiency of matter,
motion andenergy, and some whatignorant
contempt of all arts and graces. Save as a
school OF science, oxford had fallen fat
upon him. 1t had not given him expansive
culture But Monica Frewen was a different
sort of university. He had never looked at
an Etruscan nSarcophagusb sbefore-thoughk lis
outer eye had many times lighted upon one;
but now, when Miss Frewen unfolded ler
delicate drawings and eXpounded their
meaning to him with glowing enthusiasm
young girls enthusiasm-he was fairly
carried away by her impulsive eloquence.
For young girl is young girl still, even
when she dilates upon Polynices and
Eteocles. You may think Poiynices and
Eteoclcs dry, but that is your narrowness:
remember how much depends upon the
Polyniccs-aBd- d-Eteocles-monger. From
Miss FIewen's lips, Greek accents would
have been charming, and Sanskrit itself
would have flowed like an Italian melody
She made Arthur Pelew dimly aware
of a certain deficiency in his own cul-
ture And the form the conviction took
with him was this-when she talked to

Ih. Case of Private Hammond at srt
sheridan.

GnIcAGo. Oct. 23.-The story told of
the treatment os Private Charles Ham.
mond by Capt. Leonard A. Lowering
was confirmed yesterday by the cour.
Of inquiry now in session at Fort Sher-
idan. The testimony OF both the prin-
cipals in the case was taken. a. was
that Of one witness, Lieut.. Bernard.
aud the statements of each corrobo-
rated in the main the evidence of tho
others.
IL was shown that Hammond was
dragged from the guard house over
macaiamized roads, up and down
stairways, all the way To the room
where the sum mary court was sitting
II also was shown that Capt. Lowering
did swear at, kick and use his sword
upon the stubborn prisoner.
Capt. lowering asserted that his ac-
tions toward Hammond were in fur
therancc of the maintenance Of good
discipline, and admitted practically
everything alleged against him by
Hammond. The latter said that he
refused to appear before the court be-
cause he expected punishment when
he returned to his own post and did
not consider that the Fort Sheridan
court had any right 10 try him.
