Specific impress Of success was on
Stornmouth's entire personality-crip-
pied his own resources, which were re-
markable, if somewhat less subtle. He
had heretofore possessed reputation
for keeping the ball of conversation
rolling to an unusually original tune.
Tonight he felt handicapped by an I'M
attended force-two unattended forces.
The first of these was Desmoulins. The
second was Stornmouth.
Desmoulins was superb, i'll his glory.
On the top wave of apparent and be-
wildering achievement concerning his
venture, he emitted double entendres
with startling fidelity, and then and
there took q stand with his contempora-
ries which afterward became proverbial-
"a stand for unfagging audacity and
unadulterated perceptiveness and pre-
sumption.
For in their biased souls there nes-
tied that symmetry which is the saliva
ton of the French critic-the poise
which controls Theoretically, if not al
ways practically, in no mean measure,
firm conviction of the true as opposed
to the spurious. They knew Deslnoulins
rang false, but he held the purse strings,
and so, outwardly, they cringed to him.

Brilla and oily compliments for their
hostess
Priscilla kissed Constance good night
and sent her up to her own little white
and pink bedroom to pass the night.
Then she turned to the count, who had
asked her for short interview before
leaving.
Stornmouth was chatting with Aunt
Mildred. Priscilla and the count with
drew to the farther corner of the apart
ment.
Mademoiselle, began the count,
somewhat awkwardly for man of his
race and reported breeding, II have but
one question to ask. 1 think you must

Priscilla's lips trembled slightly.
"Mademoiselle, :" he continued, "I
wish to lay my title"-this was said
slowly and deliberately, with an excess
i've JUNCTION which was admirable, con-
sidering the worthlessness of the offer
lng-"and my name at your feet''
Yes. =" said Priscilla duly. She held
her little lace handkerchief in her
hands. She was twisting it cruelty.
"Mademoiselle, may venture to
hope?"
There was short. distinct pause, in
which, to Priscilla's chagrin, the con-
versation at the other end Of the room
seemed to have ceased. She waited a
moment. Then she said gently:
II cannot give you an answer, count,
until you have asked my fathers con-
sent He arrives the day after tomor-
row on the Umbria. You must lay your
plans before him. If he offers no opposi-
tom
eyes, mademoiselle, /" said the count.
He seized her hand impetuously, bent
and pressed his dyed mustache upon it.
Priscilla withdrew the little satin
palm hurriedly with an enigmatic ex-
preston and vivid, panied flush.
eff he gives his consent, l will offer
no opposition.
The count swelled visibly. Into his
crafty eyes crept look which made
Priscilla shudder. "Mademoiselle is an
angel" he calculated in a husky voice.
Priscilla checked him peremptorily.
81 said, "she repeated in an odd, fright
ened sort of voice, eff my father offers
no objection, count.
The count frowned, visibly discon-
certed. Gas you will, mademoiselle. !"
"Quite SO" agreed Priscilla dryly.
"Come here, she added, sat ii O'Clock
on Thursday morning. 4"
"Entendu.
"And now good night
The count smiled look of badly con-
cealed satisfaction. Then, with low
bow to Stornmouth, who was regarding
him with visible contempt, he stepped
over the threshold. Aunt Mildred fol-
lowed him. She wished to suggest
something in the treatment of the
counts criticisms on the new prima
donna.
Priscilla stopped to pick rose off the
floor 1t had fallen from the loosened
coils OF her hair. She sighed YEARLY.
Stornmouth leaned forward quickly
he had walked toward Priscilla as the

and still her sObs and kiss away her
tears. All he did was to reach one gen.
tie hand forward and lay it wondering
~ on her hair, the prettiest hair, as soft
and fine and far more willful than corn
silk, with little clumps Of rebellious
curls along the temples and in the
creamy nape of the warm baby neck
"GoF' he commanded quietly, and
then, as she did not stir, he added, 81
am not holding you, my beloved - Still
Priscilla did not move. AS though spell
bound, she stood there, dropping under
that unexpected gentle caress.
Priscilla" said Stornmouth's voice.
There was no command in it now. 1t
was an appeal.
The little figure, with visible and
supreme effort, turned away from that
appeal deliberately and marched toward
the door.
He sprang forward. It took only two
strides to reach the door, upon the ham
die of which Priscilla had already laid
her hand.
He faced the little figure, upright
now, peremptorily, a magnificent con-
demnatory scOrn IN his whole bearing.
"You love the count!'' he shouted
furiously in veritable tempest of Won
der and revolt.
And then Priscilla, that remarkable,
elusive, bewitching, incorrigible Pris-
ella, turned toward him at last.
She was trembling no longer The
tears had vanished. The exquisite face
had taken on a chiseled sternness, con-
contracted and set as Stornmouth' S own.
There We're righteous contempt and I'M

own clear and steady tones, which at

You have returned, no doubt, to accen-
tuate the fact of your individual talent
for private detective business to me, tile

the case with such capability, why re-
quest the defendant to confirm your de-
cision?'
Stornmouth fell back, aghast.
You say, you have said, you believe,

with superb gesture of ironical i'm
port Perhaps you will be good enough
to vouchsafe me the name of your in

expectedly. Like a flash, all the past
months revulsion of feeling sprang to
life in poisonous fashion and filled his
veins with a seething flood, which put
out common sense and cool Judgment
with wonderful effectiveness for tho
moment. Your actions, your evasions,
your happiness in his presence, your
confusion"
He stopped. Priscilla had turned and
measured him from head to heel. Some.
how he felt as though he were losing
ground.
"You have let CO., Priscilla said un-
kindly, "your principal charm, my
friend. Its name was self control"
Then she laughed, not pretty laugh

sound which is supposed to indicate

knell of its own.

judge woman by what she says or
by what she does. -
"What is one to judge her by?" he
inquired desperately, with perhaps par
donable curiosity.
"Don't judge her at ALL" she said
imperatively.
With mutinous expression which
was essentially lovely, Priscilla laid her
hand once more upon the doorknob.

the sweet voice, Ego smoke your pipe

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONs IN GLA-



Most OF the glaciers Of Iceland are
quiescent except when agitated from
below, and many eruptions in Iceland
would never be perceived were it not
for the sudden issue of enormous
streams Of water from the glaciers. A
typical glacier eruption occurred in the
carly months of the present year in the
south Of Iceland. A postman was
crossing the Sands Of Skeidara. mount
ed on one pony and leading two others
With the mails. Suddenly he heard the
glacier about two miles in front of him
emit long, groaning sound, and saw
large masses of ice being hurled into
the air from the glacier, Immediately
followed by food that descended
upon the level sands, surging TO and
fro and carrying everything before it.
He promptly turned his horses and
rode away for dear life. The western
side of the glacier having remained in
TACT, he reached the station OF Nups-
stad safe and sound. The next day he
visited the river, but found it impass-
able. After waiting six days at Nups-
stad he started afresh without the
mails, accompanied by two men. When
they reached the sands they saw belt
.of ice waves extending from the gla-
cier to the sea. a distance Of at least
twenty-five miles.
The average breadth of this belt was
about four miles. The height of the ice
1oes or waves varied from seventy to
ninety feet II WAS impossible to crces
this wall Of ice except close by tho
foot of the glacier, where the foes
were far apart. They left their horses
and at last succeeded in crossing, but
on the other side of the ice field they
found six newly-formed torrents rush
ing from the glacier. They could not
cross these without their horses, and
had, therefore. to climb on the edge Of
the glacier in order to get around
them.

the former nation does not propose to
permit the latter to outdo her in po-
ilteness. A summary of the result OF
a British cabinet meeting is published
in the PAN Mali Gazette in the follow
ing form:
First. Marchand must be Withdrawn
Internationally, and no undertaking OF
promise can be given to discuss lhe
questions raised by France in regard TO
access to the Nile and such like.
Second. When Marchand is with
drawn it will be determined whetheT
the question raised admits Of discus

discussion can be proceeded with.
Third. Every possible facility viii
be afforded to assist in Marchands
Withdrawal, by whichever route Sc
lected.
Fourth. II Marchand is not with
drawn there will be no interference
with his remaining at Fashoda nor date
fixed for his withdrawal. Necessarily
achievements will not be permitted t'
reach him. He will be treated court
eously as a foreign visitor, and vii
be regarded in no other light.
Fifth. Therefore, it Is left TO France
to adopt any active measures to pre-
\ cipitate a conflict.
The ironical sentence, "He will b

1T is eminently proper that John T..
Ahrens, the Democratic candidate for
the General Assembly in the Second
district, should defend
his character against unjust and un-
warranted attack, no matter from what
source it may come. In an endeavor
to bolster up the candidacy Of WFbster
Blake.y. the Republican, Addicksite
senatorial candidate in the Third dis
trict, the Daily Republican last even
ing alleged that Mr.. AhrJ rs had en-
gagged in certain nefarious political
work which resulted in his name be-
ing presented to the grand jury by the
attorney general. Such an arraignment
would have been timely and proper il
true, but, unfortunately for the Daily
Republican, there is not the shadow OF
truth in the allegations. Mr.. Ahrens
.s favorab.y known not only in his
own district, burt also in all parts OF
the city. He is an active Democrat,
but clean and honest in every respect.
Being carried astray by its lack Of in
formation, maliciousness, party zeal,
or whatever prompted the attack, the
Daily Republican viii be forced to ap
pear in a civil court and endeavor to
perform the impossible task Of sub
Istantiating it's allegations.
