coming back to US after SO many years
to fight the battles of its native conn-
try. We may be accused OF borrow
ing British laws and literature but
after this no one will charge us with
borrowing the artillery of our cousins;
and the pity is that we have had to
purchase with good money what was
partly our own already, or at least the
nroduct of healthy American brains.

CHAPTER xxx.
Rejected.

A group of gentlemen stood under
the trees in the Park. They had been
watching the fair faces of the ladies
VINO passed in carriages, and the fresh
faces Of young girls who rode. The
day was beautiful, the sun shining
brightly, and half the elite of London
seemed to be in the Park.
The group of gentlemen consisted of
Sir Oscar Charlotte, Major Argent, and
Sir Harry Lame.
The subject under discussion was a
rumor that had started the fashionable
world
ct is all over with the Richmond
dinners" observed Lord Cation. South
mead has left London. The whole af-
fair is given up. l had a note from
him yesterday"
80 had l." said the major.
The young duke had organized a
grand water-party that was to ter
inmate with a dinner at Richmond.
Suddenly, to their surprise, the invited
guests received note expressing in
finite regret at the unavoidable disap-
pointment, but the Duke of South
mead was obliged to leave London
that very day.
Leave London in the midst of the
season!" cried Sir Harry Lame.
What is the reason?"
Then came the startling report that
Miss st. Norman had refused him, and
that he had gone away in fit of des-
peration. Sir Charles Myrton had met
the duke coming from Brookdale House
had seen him with his face white as
death and his lips trembling. He had
stopped to speak to him, but the young
duke had passeu on with something
thatsounded like deep muttered curse.
| Afterward he heard what rumor said.
Sir Charles understood it all; and now
the little group under the trees were
discussing the same event.
"Dou You really believe" said Lord
Cation, that Miss st. Norman has re
fused him?"
1T is fact, l assure you," replied
the major always thought she
would. Yet never saw man so thor
oughly in love- He followed her like
Shadow. But l never saw her give
MIN the least encouragement"
That would be a new experience
for him." commented Lord Cation.
Young dukes, as a rule. do not COM
plain of wanting announcement
Il felt sure" resumed the major
that she would not have him. I was
quite desperate about her myself the
hrst few times that l saw fer But
Miss st. Norman is not like the ordi-
nary run of women. She is no CO.
qaette; she never seems to give a
thought tolove or matrimony. Indeed
in my opinion, she dislikes both"
Sir Oscar Charlotte listened at
tentivel;.
1 yield to no one in my chivalrous
respect for women" he said. "but
must confess that find it difficult 10
DeHeVe that rich and handsomeyoung
duke could meet with a refusal"
1t is true" declared the major
am sorry for Southmead; he was des-
perately fond of her; he has taken il
deeply to heart. I hear that he first
went home, and then started off the
same day for the continent"
That much l know is true" said
LORD Cation; "as to the rest, l reserve
my opinion"

STARTED A PRAIRIE FIRE.
Am Army Offfcer Caused the Worst
One Ever Known In Kansas.

Am Army Officer Caused the Worst
One Ever Known In Kansas.
The greatest prairie fire known in
Kansas was in the year 1869, and 1t
was set out by an officer of the United
States government.
One day in 1869 he and a party Of
officers from Fort Hays were returning
from a wild turkey hunt in the can
yons Of the Saline. The wind was
blowing hurricane, and when stop
was made on the high prairie some ten
miles north of Hays this officer de-
liberately touched match to the dry
crisp grass in order to make spec
tacle. When the other officers saw
what he was about to do, they made
desperate effort to stop him, but the
deed had been done, and the red
flames were reeling across the prairie
like frightened antelope. That fire
swept from where 1t had been started
clear across Kansas into what is now
Oklahoma. The streams and roads
offered no obstacles to 1t whatever.
While going south it had also turned to
the east and left trail Of ruin across
Rice, Reno, Kingman, Harper and 9TH
er counties. Thousands Of settlers
were burned out, losing their houses
and their feed, their horses and cattle.
II the man who set that fire had been
known to the settlers, all the troops on
the plains would not have been enough
to stay their vengeance. AS it was, he
suffered remorse beyond description.
When the officers at Hays would bring
him papers, telling of the damage
done, he would groan and curse him
self roundly. He left Hays for some
other post in the following year, and,
so far as we know, his name was neV-
er connected with the gigantic prairie
fire of 1S69.-Kansas City Journal.
