In the Elevator
SGsleeaee@@@@@G@eae@eG@@&

N GAMPERT0N stopped at the hotel < desk long enough to read the letter which was handed to him with his key; then he started for his rooms to dress for the club dinner.
 But the club dinner was no longer in his mind. The contents of that letter engrossed his thoughts to the exclusion
 of everything else
 1t was from his late travelling com panion, Birch, whom he had left in Paris month ago. and who now wrote from London to tell him that the Kings
 leys had quit the continent and were in-
 tending 10 sail for America at once.
 @So the coast is clear, old man. and you can come back, declared the.writer, persuasively. sYou were an idiot ever
 to run away as you did. Join me here in a fortnight and we'll still be in time for that Mediterranean trip.
 Competitors jaws were set and his brows contracted as he stepped into the
 elevator
 He Knew that the Kingsleys, in re turning to America at this time. were curtailing their original programme oy at least six months And it was easy to guess the reason
 They were coming home to prepare for their daughters marriage to her
 titled suitor The count. himself, nc doubt. would follow in Short time to claim his bride.
 s And I must get away before they
 arrive" decided the young man. Ell go back to Europe by the next steamer
 Through the mist of his mental ab- R gtraction he observed that the elevator had an occupant besides himself-a woman who had seated herself in a xhadowy corner of the car-but her presence did not change the current of his thoughts
 The elevator came to a sudden stop so sudden. indeed, that Camperton, not being prepared to check his upward E course all at once involuntarily rose to his tfpfoes. waving his arms like huge bird about to take flight, and then
 pirouetted gracefully toward the other passenger in the corner.
 ..There is no danger. madam" he be gan. in his most reassuring tones. ssWe're fast between two floors and must wait sshilao
 He stopped short as he noted, with surprise and alarm, the attitude of the lady. She was still sitting in hereor- her and was holding a handkerchief over her face. while little eonvulsiyc ouivers and shrugs of the shoulders in- xiicated that she was weeping.
 h his contrition and his desire to soothe her narrowed feelings he was about to sit down beside her, when a sound that was strangely like q giggle came from behind the handkerchief
 Camperton started up, flushing hotly

voice suddenly became coa&4AE. "l know if is rude of me to laugh. but, oh Nlr. Camperton. you can't imagine how funny you looked just now, vaen you went hopping and waltzing about and kneeling at my feet-for all tie world like performing bear!"
 "AIiss Kingsley" he managed to ar ticulate. at last. His heart had almost stopped at the moment of recognition, but it was now beating furiously. T suppose this is your astral body. If cannot be your real self"
 "Oh, but it is!' said the girl, with animation. We came over in the Cam pania, which arrived this morning, and we are stopping at this hotel until our house is put in order"
 eWe?"
 "Of course; papa and I. You don't suppose I would come alone ?"
 IT didn't know. l was not ex- aetly expecting you to come at all Your plans, as 1 understand them. would have kept you abroad the rest of the year
 Miss Kingsley dropped her eyes.
 ..It is always easy to change your plans, you know" she said, betraying a slight confusion.
 You did not honor me with an ex- planation of why you left Europe"
 But the motel" he exclaimed.
 ''The note, Mir. Camperton
 And my letter? Do you mean that you did not read my letter through the one I sent to you at Hotel Conti- mental two days before my departure ?"
 .'I received no letter from you"
 But, Miss Kingsley, you-you an swered it."

The Indian fighters crawled and knelt And pulled at the rifle blaze. Kentucky fought with a grim delight And Texas with his soul: But the football rusher reared his height And plunged for the deadly roal. They yelled disdain of the driving rain or steel that drilled and tore. If the wounded sobbed il was not for pain, But that they could fight no more. Then, volleying low at the hidden foe, They rushed him-two to ten; They were trained in the rule of an iron

 And they were their coloners men. From thicket to thiclSet. and glade to

 And out in the jungles marge. They harried him back o'er a clotted track And formed for the final charge. Hark to the swell of the rebel yell.

 plain why l wroteit. All Paris was con meeting your name with that of 4he count, and there were persistent ru- mors that you were to become his wife. It was common talk that your father had set his heart on the match, and nobody seemed to question your will ingness 10 become countess.
 'The rumors and the gossip had a most depressing effect upon me. I think you know, Miss Kingsley, what my own hopes were. I had loved you for a year. although I had made no con- fession. could not believe that you cared for the count. or that you would sacrifice yourself for a title, even to please your father But the anxiety and suspense became so intolerable that I resolved to end the uncertainty and learn my own fate. Owing to your Ia ther's espionage I was unable to find an opportunity to speak with you alone,
 ''so wrote that letter. eonfessing my love, begging the right to put an end to the rumors concerning you and tue count, telling you how anXiously 1 should wait for an answer and assur- ing you that if my offer were rejected would leave Paris and Europe and never annoy you again.
 q never received the letter. she said, softly, without looking up.
 Never received it! Then how do you explain this answer?" he demanded.
 T wrote that note-yes; but not in answer to any communication from you. It was not intended for you. do not know how it came in your posses sion You will see that the upper part of the sheet has been carefully cut o1f On the detached part was the name of the person to whom it was addressed" She raised her eyes, and he saw that there were tears in them. but before he could speak she asked; Did you send your letter to me by post or messen- ger?''
 Why, I sent it by Tomasso, the little Italian, whom often employed in that way
 And he brought you the answer?" "Certainly."
 "Ah! I think I understand it now" she said, her expression showing he light of sudden conviction. "Tomas- so, as we afterwards learned, was III the pay of this count, who employed him to spy on the movements of people whom he desired to keep under surveil- lance. It was he, am now sure, who intercepted your letter and sent back to you this note. His object was to get you out of the way. The note was orig inally addressed to him-in reply to his third proposal of marriage-and he cut off his own name and sent it to you"
 Camperton listened like one in trance. Then he cried out sharply:
 Do you mean to say you are not en- gagged to the count?a
 "Engaged Why, I hate himi He IS a wicked. designing man. Papa himself is convinced of that now. It was on his account-to get rid of his persistent at- tentions-that prevailed upon papa to take me home before we had finished our travels. Oh, Jaek-Mr. Camper1on. how could you believe such thing of lne? ?"
 Ten minutes later, when they were released from their imprisonment in the elevator. they parted with the un- derstanding that they were to meet In the kingsleys' parIor within an hour And there was a vacant seat at the club dinner that Woman's Home Companion.

Some years ago linemen were string
ing a telegraph wire through a rural
district containing inhabitants that
seldom came in contact with outer
world. a resident of the place, an old
farmer, more curious than his neigh
bors, put many questions TO the line
men, and after a while gained some
confused ideas about its use, princi
pally one, that the wire wus put up to
send messages on. Wishing to send
his son John, who lived in the city, a
pair of new boots. he thought it would
be a cheaper way of doing it to hang
them on the wire-and this he did.
Shortly afterx a tramp coming along
saw them there, and as they fitted him,
he took them and left his W in their
place. TIE next morning the old far
mer feeling the tramp's shoes went
about among the neighbors telling of
the wonderful wire and how he had
sent his son John the new boot, and
John had not only got them, but had
sent his old pair bloodhound Table.
