Years ago Mrs. Marchmont stood at
the foot of the social stair and deter
mined to scale its heights. At first 1t
was slow work: hut of late, IN fact,
since Honore had grown up. 1t had
been comparatively easy climbing.
Limited means had restricted the
Marchmonts to rather small and out
of-the-way summer places. But
really" Mrs. Marchmont declared, "one
sometimes met the most charming
people at these quiet resorts"
Truth to tell, Mrs. Marchmont a
the good sense to know that she
couldn't be much in a pond of extern
sive dimensions and that she was
something OF a big frog in the little
%puddles: so she stuck to shallo"
waters. However, when Honore de-
veloped such astonishing beauty n
popularity, Mrs. Marchmont had wan
dered farther up the coast where the
waves ran high and where one came
in contact with such people as the Her.
bert Van Alstynes' and the hamilton
Wares and it seemed to Mrs. March,
mont that she was almost about to
reach the goal on the upper landing OF
the stair.

been a dutiful daughter, even from the
time when she was a little girl and sat
propped up in bed reading novels and
eating chocolates and things until her
mother came in from a dance or a
theater. But lately Mrs. Marehmont
hadn't known quite what to make or
Honore. Not that she was any the
less devoted or attentive to her mother,
but she seemed to be developing new
ideas not strictly in accordance Win
those of her mother. For instance, the
night after the hop at h erection 5,
at which event the Herbert Van Ais
tynes' and the Hamilton-Wares had
actually asked Mrs. Marchmont to sit
with them on the gallery and the ugly
little foreign count had danced three
times with Honore, Mrs. Marchmont
playfully alluded to herself as the
mother of a possible countess, Honore
had thrown herself into her mothers

ALL
1t would seem so good to have a lit
tie home-just one little room, and to
make it bright and happy; she was so
tired of rufiles and silk skirts bought
after months Of scrimping and hoard
Ing their little income; she had never
had a home; a real. real home like
other girls. It had just been rowing
and pretending eve since she could
remember, Mrs. Marchmont, too, began
to weep, and to cast self-accusations, to
quote the threadbare verse about a
~"thankless child and went to bed
with a case OF nervous hysteria. After
this all blew over Mrs. Marchmont and
Honore resumed their usual relations,
and, except for a tired, weary look in
her eyes, Honore was the same dear
girl she had ever been.
From this time on the attentions of
the Count became more and more
marked. He was not a pleasant man
to look upon, but around him there
shone the halo of a titled name and
ancestral halls. Mrs. Marehmont be-
gun to patronize the Herbert Van Ais
tynes' and the Hamilton Wares were
spoken of by her as really very clever
people, don't you know" She dwelt
In the glaring light of titular fame;
she had passed the upper landing and
was making her way to the dome. But
one thing marred the sunny glory OF
her little day. 1t was the other man,
The other man, James Howard, who
laid at the feet of Honore only the
coronet of a glorious manhood, a great
brain and a greater heart; a big,
broad-shouldered fellow with clean-cut
features and eyes hat looked straight
into those of his fellow men and women
unfinchingly, and whose only Offering
was the gift Of a great love.
The few weeks at the seashore was a
terrible etrain on Mrs. Marchmont's
purse strings and she was obliged to
retrench. So, with the aid OF the Count,
who followed them very soon, she, with
Honore took rooms at a little hote. far
up In the hills. For days Honore was
almost happy, riding every morning
up among the fresh. fragrant hills. She
| grew to love a little house that lay on
her way and one morning as she
passed. a woman came down the little
trodden path between the riotous
growth of h%o.lYhocks and larkspur and
net a mar at the gate. She seemed a

ergy of these Alpine streams has been

power. The river AIDA at Paderno al

shells at them is held by many in re-
gard to the humiliation of cyclones.
The project of using guns on these de-
vastating and death-dealing storms has
been seriously considered in a number
of towns in the west and northwest
which have been visited by disastrous
cyclones. The scheme which has been
broacned contemplated the placing Oh
a cannon or shell-throwing gun upon
some enl.nenee In the town and pro-
viding 1t with a sort of lifesaving
squad of volunteers from among the
citizens. Upon the approach of a storm
this squad. or a part OF 1t. would man

BAND SAVED.
For Two Years More It Will be Pro-
vided for.


Monday afternoon in the House was
as interesting a session as the fore
noon session of that day had been.
The matter of the appropriation for the
band was considered, and after much
discussion, it was resolved to place
Captain Berger's salary at 5000 a month.
The sum of $4,000 was appropriated to
the band boys, while the sum of $500
was set aside for the twod lady vo-
calists.
The committee appointed to report
on the status of Acting Governor Coop
er, and the health of Governor Dole,
made their report, which was based on
an opinion of Thomas Fitch, whom the
committee had retained for the attor-
ney.
Dickey on behalf Of the committee
on surveying, made a report on that
branch of the service. His report was
quite favorable, and said that nothing
should be done to cripple the useful
ness of this bureau. The committee
also recommended that the salaries of
the officers pass as per bill.
The position of entOmologist was re-
tanned, with a salary of $4,000.

MINSTREL SHOW A SUCCESS.
Healanis Give Rafting Good Perfor-
nance Last Night.


The grand opera house was crowded
last night at the performance of the
Healani MINISTRIES, which was Civ
en- for the benefit of the Healani
Yacht and Boat Club. Under
the direction of John PiVer the crowd
had been trained for the last few
months and to his untiring efforts was
due the success of the show. A special
feature of the affair was the numerous
topical hits.
The brightest part of the pro ram
was the Josh" on the Government
band and it's leader Captain Berger.
John Piver burlesqued the genial lead
er in a manner that was true to life.
j. H. Harrison was very SpOi as John
Emmeluth and G.. j, Boisse was excel
lent as Robert Wilcox while Sonny"
Cunha as Tesla captured the audience.
All of these celebrities We're supposed
to seek positions in the band. Jimmy
Dougherty as Judge Humphreys was
quite good.
The burlesque of Sapho caught the
fancy of the audience. Cunha appear
ed as the famous woman. Frank Wood
bridge and John Piver also took part
in this skit and they did their parts
well. Guy Livingston and Joe Mar
riner did a little sketch which was
good, although some of the Jokes
are hardly as refined as many would
have desired Ralph Raymond did a
laughable little act as "Padewhiskey."
The mandolin orchestra led by Joe
Mariner was excellent.
In the first part the songs were we'll
selected. With the exception of Mr..
Piver shot or two of cocaine would
have done no harm to the end men.
The songs by b. j. Hawkins the soldier
boy, Guy Livingston Jimmie Dougher-
ty, c. f. Waterman, Messrs. Cunha
Piver and Mariner We're good. Charles
Elston was heard to special advantage
in a tenor solo, Dreams" The Tuxedo
quartette kindly assisted the perfor-
nance. j. II. Harrison was interlocu-
tor. AS final the Amazon March was
the evolutions being well
done. The show may be repeated Sat
urday.
