1t happened, oddly enough, that Ards
ley CHANGED not to have heard of Miss
Hampden's reputation by the next
night. He was rudely awakened to a
knowledge of it.
There were private theatricais in the
hop room, and Miss Hampden was the
leading lady. Now the sutor was quite
recovered and he meant to play joke
on those in the audience who were not

three of them married. He proposed to
the heroine in nicely read lines, and
was rejected by her with perfection
that spoke her practice. So the audi

When the laugh had subsidized, the
hero arose from his knees. lie walked
to the footlights and sighed.
"Ah, we'll" he said, Il have one

1t is somewhat remarkable. when one
considers the matter, that the line Of
ticers of the navy have never asked
themselves what they would do some
day, with ships to command and no en-
gineers competent to manage the mo-
tive power They are men upon which
heavy responsibility rests, day anh
night, in peace or war; and there have
been many instances of mental ana
physical breaking down. There are
captains, commanders and lieutenants
enough for the new ships, but no en-
gineers, and competent engineers can
not be secured offhand.

one can easily see why Englishmen
wish success to plans for the liberia
ZION of Cuba. Their losses through the
devastation of the island are only less
grleVous than our own. Scores of cot
ION and tobacco estates are owned or
mortgaged in England, and almost all
the money invested in the insular rail
ways came from London. 1t is with
English capital that public works were
undertaken in a number of Cuban cities
foetween 1873 and 1894. No interest or
ulVidend will be forthcoming on any of
these securities until peace has been
restored in the island.

T HERE are colonies and majors
and generals and some old cap
u tains who hold that Isabel Hamp-
den was the most attractive woman
who ever graced the frontier, and in
their time most women seemed attrac-
tive because of their scarcity.
She had been brought up in garrisons
and large cities, and by the time she
was % she knew the world rather well.
Moreover. she knew men-not girls and
women. but men.
Because she had been allowed to live
in posts during most of what should
have been her boarding-schoOl days,
and because she was pleasant to look
upon and converse with at an age
when most girls are impossible, men
had fallen in love with her pretty
much ever since she could remember
1t was said that she had refused all
the bachelors in all the frontier regi-
ments. This was not far from the
truth.
A woman who had married one of
the rejected ones said that refusing
was a habit Miss Hampden had form
ed, and that it began to look as II she
might never break herself OF 1t.
In the nature of things this was re-
ppated TO the girl. Her good temper
was one of her charms. ut is so mucD
better a habit than accepting them all,
she argued, sweetly. Nevertheless, she
wondered if there were not some truth
mingled with the malice.
But Lieut.. Loring was the last victim
of her practice. He proposed to her.
unfortunately for himself, just after
she had met young Ardsley.

I would marry YOU said Miss Hamp-
den. But I've changed my mind, some
way

A case has just been decided in En-
gland that is of interest in this cOun-
try, for the circumstances are very ike
those that have frequently occurred IN
the United States, but which have not
reached the courts. The case was based
upon the charge of manslaughter III Il
game Of football. The game was be-
ing played under the association foot
ball rules. which were designed Spe-
ciallv to limit the hazard in playing the
game in question. 1t was claimed that
the defendant, contrary to the rules OF
the game, charged the deceased from
behind and threw rim violently Tor
ward against the knees of another
PLAYER. from which he received injuries
that caused his death. The judge hcld
that "therues of the game were of little
consequence, for no association could
override the law in such a manner, nor
could it make lawful and innocent that
which was dangerous. The law of the
land declares that it is unla Wful to do
that which is likely to cause the death
of another, and liability cannot be
avoided by the enactment of rules re-
ducing the danger" and the prisoner
was held for manSlaughter The judge
said: But. on the other hand, If Il
man is playing according to the rules
and practice Of the game, and is not
going beyond it. it may be reasonable
to infer that he is not acting in man
ner which he knows will be likely to
produce death" In the heat of playing
the game men forget, in the desire to
win. to observe the rules that have been
adopted in order to reduce the risk to
a minimum and do things that result
fatally to their opponents. Football has
become eSta bliShed as one of the most
popular of all our American sports, but
however it may be hedged about with
rules it is Il dangerous game, fact
that is too well atteSted to admit of dis
pute. The English case was brought
to put a stop TO the lawlessness of the
game as it has been played at Rugby,
and it is probable that it will be ample
to inspire some respect for the lives
and limbs of men engaged in the spirit
ed contests.
