When the white people first went to
live in Hawaii their native servants,
tits said, persisted in calling them by
Christian names. An English woman
of strong will determined, on her ar.
rival in Honolulu, that her servants
should never call her Mary, and in
structed them carefully in tho pres
ence of her husband. One day, when
she had visitors, her cook put her head
in at the drawing-room door aad
politely inquired: "What vegetables
for dinner to-day, my love?" He had
heard her called that, and seemed

admirers, and she felt all the happiei
on seeing that.
Later on in the evening Sir Haoui
came to her.

"how do you like our new acquisition
"She is just what 1 thought sne
would be-" replied the young countess.

How do you know that?" he ASKED

Eyes," said Sir Raoul, frankly "Ev-
cry one must admire her. She is like
a picture by Greuze. But if you ask
me is she worth any expenditure OF
jealousy, answer just as frankly
NO"
II am not jealous" returned Hildred'
quickly. "Why should you imagine
such thing?"
81 do not say that I imagine 1t, Hill
dred; l merely warn you against IT,
answered Sir Raoul.
"Of all people," cried Hildred, those
that are logical are the most difhcuit
to talk with"
Let us be thankful then" said Sir
Raoul, that they are rare"
She looked up at him with quiet
smile.
"Raoul," she said, there is one thing
that have remarked about Lady HAM
ilton."
What is that?" he asked.
"She has been here nearly six hours;
but I have not seen her talk to any OF
the ladies'. When we went into the
drawing-room, she sought the most
comfortable chair, and she leaned back
In it with smile at me. Travelling al
ways fatigues me- she said, as she
closed those lovely blue eyes OF hers;
and do you know that she never opened
them again until the gentlemen came
in"
"She did not want to waste her words
and smiles on ladies'" said Sir Raoul.
II know I am very ignorant; but do
you call that good breeding, Sir ha-
oul?"
MY dear Hildred, a woman may be
very elegant, coquettish and fascinat-
ing without being quite what you call

III had my choice" said Hildred,

tiful."
What would you say If told you
that you were both?" he asked.
laughter. Then she thought to herself
that Sir Raoul was very distinguish
ed-looking man. Could it be possible
that he was flirting with Lady Cara
ven?
There must be no encroaching on her
privileges. No one must monopolize
distinguished men like Sir Raoul when
she was present. She must give the
dark-eyed young countess lesson, and
the best way in which to achieve her
She laughed a rich, musical, joyous
laugh that caused Lady Hamilton to
raise her blue eyes to see what was
going on. She smiled sweetly, as
though sympathizing with the happy

"tShe does not like me-" thought the
earl; land she has little reason to-"
He was frank enough to own that.
The dance ended, he led his wife to
a seat, and then left her with bow.
She was never quite the same again.
AS it needs bat a small match TO fire q
train Of gunpuwder, SO it needed but
little to awaken her love into keen,
quick, passionate life. That one dance
with him had done it. She loved him
with her whole heart. and the sudden
ness with which that conviction
flashed over her bewildered her. She
sat quite still, the soft, sweet music,
the ripple of the little fountain, the
subdued murmur, all mingling In her
ears-flowers, lights, jewels, fair faces,
all dazzling her eyes-and she said to
herself: II love my husband" The
whole world seemed changed to her.
Shyly, timidly, she looked at him. He
was talking to group Of ladies, his
handsome face all animation, his tall.
well-built figure all grace. He was .
man to be proud ola man to love.
But he must never know about this
love of hers-this newly-Dund pre-
cious treasure. He despised her for
her want of noble birth; she must
keep her love as secret as the grave.
That increased the distance between
them. She was SO fearful that he
should think her unwomanly, SO afraid
that he should imagine she wanted his
love, that she took refuge in cold, shy
proud avoidance. There were no more
rides or drives to see the buildings and
improvements; there was no more
quiet letter-writing in the library.
When Lord Caraven wanted Hildred,
she had some gentle, ready excuse, and
with a house full of visitors 1t was
difficult to determine whether those ex-
cuses were genuine or not. But from

The mugwump idea in politics is to

q mugwump idea in war to the same
effect; but we guess that, having con-

will hold on to them long enough To

American Gunnors.
Great Britain has the most powerful
navy in the world. Untold millions
have been spent in it's building, and
the best brain of the island kingdom
has been devoted to its improvement.
Yet, impressed with the behavior OF
the American navy, and openly ac-
knowledging the superiority of its
methods, the British Admiralty has
taken steps looking to the adoption of
the American system of gunnery and
open sea target practice. The accuracy
of the fire Of the American guns is the
wonder of the world.
