The outlook is certainly excellent. Rail-

are making as tremendous profits. Ex-

AN ECCENTRIC MAN.

The progressive corporation of Bath
has just placed commemorative
tablet upon the house in Lansdown
crescent once occupied by William
Beckford, one of the strangest charac-
tiers who ever spent his declining years
in the renowned English city Of the
hot springs. His tomb and monument
are such conspicuous objects on the
heights of Lansdown and the most
casual visitor can hardly avoid becom-
ing familiar with some Of the eccen-
tricities of this great dilettante.
Bedford, who is best known as the
author of the Arabian tale "Vathek"
written in one sitting of three days
and two nights, claimed descent from
the Saxon kings. He inherited vast
wealth and expended 1t in the most
lavish fashion, building a wonderful
house at Fonthill, in Wiltshire, which
cost over a million. Presently the evil
days came-vast sums lost in Jamaica
through depreciation in the value of
his estates and lawsuits resulting
therefrom led Beckford to sell Fonthill
at ridiculous price and to retire to
Bath broken in health and fortune.
Here he spent the rest Of his days
recluse, shut up with his books and
fancies. One commodious house would
not suffice to hold his treasures. so
on either side were purchased, one be-
ing connected with a covered way on
the second floor, which can still be
seen. His passion for building unas-
suaged, Beckford erected great tower
on the hill a mile above his house
wherein to study, and when he died his
remains were laid above the ground at
the foot in granite sarcophagus
which was prepared during his life
time. The property was then sold for
a tea garden, but his daughter, the
duchess of Hamilton, repurchased 1t
and to save 1t from dissertation gave 1t

CHAPTER TX

It was a warm September day. Lady
Mildred Ames lay out in the hammock
under the shade of the spreading
beech trees, and idly moved her large
fan to and fro. Her brows were puck
cred into a frown, her large eyes were
absently fixed upon the wide-spreading
lawn which lay between her and the
house. The white lines which marked
the tennis-court seemed to culver In
the heat; the men were shooting, the
chaperons lying down, the girls had
driven to the home covers to take the
sportsmen their lunch. Lady Mildred
would not go; she said she had a
headache, but the truth was she was
suffering from a fit of ill-temper.
She was Lord Umfraville's only I'M

all arrogant, though she was rather
selfish.
The Umfraville family was in bad
way, having the misfortune to possess
property in Ireland. For the last few
years the tendency Of affairs had been

Mildred knew that it was she who was
expected to retrieve the family for
tunes, and it was this fact which just
now weighed upon her mind, for she
had been so foolish as to~sall in love
with her mothers cousin. Valdane

Of an aristocrat, the bearing OF a per-

man OF the world and the reputation of
being irresistible. To Lady Mildred,
alas, he was irresistible! She had
succumbed to his influence before she
knew 1t. Now it seemed as If she
could not break free.
Accustomed as she was to admira-
ton. she never doubted that he more
than reciprocated this partially. 1t
had, therefore, been decided surprise
when her father received a letter from
Valdane, saying that he could not get
away for the first, and begging to be
allowed to leave the date of his ar
rival at Clarisdale uncertain for a few
days. The letter was cordiality itself,
but 1t left Mildred sore and wounded.
She was astonished to find how keen
was her disappointment, and how fiat
and dull the first had seemed without
his accustomed presence. That even

CHAPTER X.

On this warm afternoon, as she lay
In the hammock, she was thinking 1t
all over and wondering where valdane
was, and what or who was keeping
him from her. She was thinking, too,
OF the open admiration in Demands

over her piano.

Had such course OF action been
proposed two days earlier it would
have met with his daughters unquali-
fled disapproval, but at that moment
her one desire was to punish Valdane.
so she only smiled her slow, sweet
smile and asked:

he was very handsome"

ly. inwardly rejoicing at his success.

swered calmly. II will wear-you will
see what" and her father left her
with blissful feeling that all was 60
ing just as he wished.
When Bernard arrived that evening,
Lady Mildred received him alone. 1t
was chilly and she had fire kindled
in the drawing-room. She sat on a
very low chair, red glow over her
crimson draperies and golden hair.
She greeted the young man with
pretty mixture of cordiality and shy
ness. She made him sit opposite to
her In chair which was the ideal of
comfort, and apologized prettily for the
fact that none Of the men were In yet.
and all the girls were dressing. She
gave him cup of tea from tiny table
near. and insisted that he was hungry
after his long Journey, and must eat
some tea-cake, which she lifted from
the marble fender with a dainty pink
handkerchief between her delicate
hands and the hot porcelain. There
was no light save from branded clus-
ter of wax candles ON the tea table
and the warm glow of the fire. The
corners of the tastefully furnished
room were In darkness.
Bernard began to realize what life
might be. now that whatever he longed
for was within his reach. In his
house-the great house he meant to
buy-he thought his drawing-room
should be just like this. The man
looked at Lady Mlldred-at her per-

self bravely. Not for worlds would
she have limited, even to herself that
she thought Bernard might before all
things have taken steps to ascertain
whether or no she were free. But he
had chosen instead to go to Clarisdale,
and she was too loyal to murmur even
to her own heart.
To Valdane it seemed like a respite,
will you let me have a line when
you wish me to pursue this matter,
then?" he asked, rising to take his
leave.
