No More Rainbow ToCrerv.

A young woman friend of the Post
says-and she is noted for her store of
information on these matters-that the
summer bicycle girl is going to wear
easy fitting, tan Oxford ties, and very
thin, vari-colored hose, drop stitch or
otherwise, almost exclusively this year.
She announces also that the divided
bicycle skirt is to be the swagger kink
this coming season, basing her state
ment upon the fact that several scores
OF her bosom bicycle pals are now en-
gagged in the construction Of these
skirts. She prophesies, Furthermore.
that Tam O. Shanters, alpines, derbies,
and all of the other varieties of bicycle
headgear are to give way during the
coming summer to the plain sailor hat
for the girl awheel. Finally, she states
that the girls of Washington are about
to inaugurate crusade against the
bicycle man who clings to the lovely.

and that they are to make a stand for

she replied, with dignity; "but, as
nothing could possibly make what you
call home more unhappy for me, and
the coming of stranger, who may
prove friend, will BIO some little COM
fort, say, unhesitatingly Yes"
He looked at her half sadly.
Are you really unhappy-really not
happy" he asked.
IF living where no friendly face
ever smiles on me, where no friendly
voice ever reaches my ear, where no
one cares for me or takes the least
interest in me, be happiness. then I
must be very happy" she said. bitterly.
"Is it so bad as that?" he asked
and there was shadow Of pain in his
face.
ut is worse" she replied. Only a
few short weeks since her heart would
have beaten fast with happiness to
hear words spoken so kindly; now she
turned away, and from her heart to her
lips rose the unspoken prayer, "Heav-
en- help me, for am beginning to hate
him!"

he gives himself great airs with me.
He is-you will laugh when you hear
it-he is my master-at least used to
be in years gone by But what l
wanted to tell you is this-he is COM

She looked up at him wonderingly.

to do with me?"
He looked somewhat confused.
AFTER all, you are the mistress Of
the house, the chatelaine, and l should
not like to ask anyone to make their
home with us who would be at all
now let me see how to express myself
diplomatically-wh would be displeas-

THANK you," she said, briefly.
after all, home-whether it be hap

uncomfortable. If you say that Sir

| lection between them, still 1t was not
often that they had angry words.
It was the close of the afternoon
when he came in, and went at once in
search of her.
"Hildred," he said, II have come to
apologize to you-to beg your pardon
for my want of civility yesterday. l
am afraid that I lost my temper"
She bowed with cold politeness.
Now, Hildred," he cried, Il will not
be put off with a ceremonious bow.
Do you know that the fact of quarrel
! ing and. making friends with you
again makes me feel that we ought to
be on the best of terms? Do not bow
to me; say that you accept my apol-
ogy!"
II accept it," she replied, "and beg
your pardon if l have displeased you"
THAT is satisfactory. Now l have
to tell you that you were right and
that was wrong. Captain Fame is
cheat and rogue. l won hundred
pounds from him last evening. have

fingers with his money. What the
duchess told you was quite true-he
was detected cheating at cards. A long
farewell to Captain Fame! He was
not worth quarreling about, was he,
Hildred?"
mo-" she replied, and something
of happiness, to which she had long
been stranger, sprang up in her
heart because he spoke so kindly to
her.
For day or two after that little in
cident matters were more pleasant be-
tween them. Then the old Indifference
came back, and the young wife's
misery with it.
May was drawing to a close, when
Lord Caraven one evening received a
letter which appeared to give him the
keenest delight. He read it, and then
went with it to his wife.
Mildred, here is good news; but
am too hasty-perhaps you will not
think it good news"
IF it pleases you so much SHALL"
she replied, gently.
"You have heard me speak of my
cousin, Sir Raoul Laureston, the hero
Of hundred fights?'"
NO." replied Hildred. 81 have new
er even heard his name"
THAT seems strange" said the earl.

He looked incredulously at her.
Il am very careless" he said, but l
did not think that l was so bad as
that. l will make amends now by
telling you about Sir Raoul Laures-
ton"
"Raoul," repeated Mildred. SIS he
no, he can not be a Frenchman, Lord
Caraven, if he is relative OF yours"
"No, but the name has puzzled many
people. His mother was a French la
iy, of noble birth, and one of her an
cestors, named Raoul de Courcelles,
himself greatly in the |
French wars; it was her fancy to name
The boy after him."
Hildred repeated the word "Raoul."
Il like the name, Lord Caraven," she |
said, slowly.
And | like the man." he told her.

The value Of the metal production in
the United States the past year is esti-

the great total value, but also the i'm

the United States the largest producer

cts and mess chest-and sees to it be-
fore he leaves garrison. There his re-
sponsibility practically ceases and falls
upon the shoulder of his "stryker"-
