You've got mo" he said. you can
ruin me. Bat what's the difference?
I've ruined myself already. But I've
done my best to serve Mr.. Van Cortland.

to it. that's all ] might have done better
II hadn't been 80 worried about Mile.
But with that and all the rest
Who is Mile. If I may venture to in
quire?" said 1.
'she is my wife. SIR" said he. She was
Miss Van Cortland's maid. Let me tell
you the whole story
II was packing up the last of Mr.. Van
Cortland's things that he was TO take
with him on his honeymoon journey The
wedding breakfast was nearly over down
stairs. / could hear the carriages Of the
swell people that had come from the
church to the house stirring about in the
grounds. as If IL was time to be going.
Then in come the bride and bride
groom-right into the room where I was.
Archie, says she to him this makes me
positively i'll. 1t spoils everything Mr..
Van Cortland shook his fist at one of the
windows. and / could see him swear,
though he didn't really say anything.
Suddenly he turned to me,
"'Wasson' says he, you're smart ana
here's where you've got TO prove it. If
you do, it'll be "A pretty penny in yonr
pocket. You know me-"
well, sir, / did know him fos as lib
eral a man as ever lived. SO / said,
What's the trouble? And he told me.
at seems that he had made arrange
ments to get away secretly with his
bride. There was a shabby looking car
rage by the east door and they were to
get into that and be driven to a place on
the railroad 70 miles out of Newport,
where Mr.. Van Cortlands private car
was waiting. He had engaged these
rooms in this hotel, where nobody knew
him, and he imagined that he could hide
in them for a little while and be at peace,
~ tell you, Wasson said he. I've
seen my private affairs in print till
just cant stand it any more but there's
no escape. The reporters have found out
all about my arrangements. They're

cycles. What can l do?'
Right there I got an inspiration. I al
most wish l hadn't now but for time
1t looked like the making of me.
Why not have somebody else go in
the carriage? said /. Let the reporters
follow the wrong parties. and when
they're all out of the way you go where
you please
That's great he exclaimed. But
who'll GO?
Then the two of them fell to discuss
ing this one and that one, but there was
always some objection. People that
might be willing didn't have the right
appearance. It was easy to a man or
woman who could play the part, but to
get 2 man and woman was a different
matter
Finally Mr.. Van Cortland struck the
desk that he was standing by so hard that
the ink bottle jumped up into the air.
3" Is it fact said he that you are go
ing to marry my sisters maid?'
II answered that l hoped to some day.
She had given me her promise. The fact
was that we had already got the license,

Returning to San Francisco at the ex-
piration of his term, Wallace one night
broke into the home of banker. Ihe
family had Just returned from the
theater and Wallace was standing In the
lower hall when the banker and his wife
suddenly appeared upon the landing
above. Wallace might have escaped by
dashing out of the front door, but this
would have been an exhibition of weak
ness unworthy OF the true burglar such
as he prided himself upon being With
rare GOODNESS and presence of mind he
awaited the couple, who, unconscious of
his proximity, were descending the stair

Wallace emerged from the shadow and
confronted him.

SO straight out. and she wrote a very az
feeling note. Well, JUST tried to think
what Mr. Van Cortland would do under
the circumstances. He has very kind
heart. and--wel1 Mile thought ! ought

"she wasn't as young as l had been led
| to believe. but said to myself that the
mother depending on her would be the
older and feebier on that account So l
agreed TO say few words. AS matter
! Of fact she did most of the talking at
| first and took II all down In her note

about society people, and wouldn't know
| what to say. And I was relieved when
| she spoke about that railroad business,
| for I happened to hear Mr.. Van Cortland
tell old General Warner one day at the
house in Newport that there positively
| was nothing in that story. So | spoke
] with confidence. / didn't suppose it was
OF so much consequence, though I noticed
that the reporter chewed her pencil in
two and cracked her finger joints more
or less while ! talked Afterward she
begged me, for her mothers sake, not to
tell anybody else, and, of coui Sc. I said
wouldn't.
"Oh, I'm an idiot that's all. What else
could be expected of me? Why. it seems
that I've stood the whole country on its
head. Look at the front page of that pa

1T is the first authoritative word on the
subject" said /. THE naliCn has been

What will Mr.. Van Cortland do to
me?" he groaned. I'm waiting to hear

stockholders and railroad men begging
me to delay the interview. But | won't.
Mr.. Van Cortland will be crazy, but he
wouldn't ask me to crawl out of 1t by lay

to well for that.

in the hall.
As he read it his face turned white.
At the close he sank back in his chair.

In a corridor Of quiet and luxur-
tous hotel in Boston l encountered an
individual named WATSON whom I
knew to be Archie Van Cortland's
valet The newspapers had informed
me that Van Cortland and his bride
were staying at this hotei and
should not therefore have been sur
prdsed to see the valet had | not read
that the multi-millionaire, with true
democratic simplicity. was making his
wedding journey without servants.
WATSON" said I checking him as
he was hurrying by. Il hope that Mrs.
Van Cortland Is better to-day"
The bride had fallen i'll on the way
up from Newport and had been under
a doctors care during the first two
days Of her unIucky honeymoon.
WATSON jumped as if | had stuck a
pin into him, and at first | thought he
did not recognize me, but he gathered
his wits speedily.
Eyes. sir; much better. sir, thank
you" he said. She'll soon be quite
we'll"
The newspaper reports were really
alarming" said /.
He glanced anxiously toward the
parlor door of the suit from which he
had just emerged.
Eyes, sir very alarming he said
and attempted to pass on, but at that
moment servant of the house came
up with a special delivery letter and
some cards upon a tray.
WATSON took them and gave the ser
want silver dollar as fee, which great
ness surprised me, and also the recip-
lent, who choked himself with thanks.
He backed away, stumbling ridicuously
upon a rug, and just then slow and
dignified voice behind said
'1 will call again about three o'clock,
Mr.. Van Cortland. though the condition
of the patient is SO much improved that
1t will hardly be necessary"
It was DR.. Marshall Whiting. a pomp-
Gus old physician of the fashionable Back
to WATSON, who did not reply. The doc
tor, with courtly bow, walked toward
the elevator.
/ turned an eye upon the valet, and
he was as red as a boiled lobster.
WATSON" said /, what does this
mean"
His voice came in a gasp.
For the love of heaven, don't tell
on me-" he cried "Its-its all
right"
"Well, I'm by no means sure of It,"
rejoined. you are engaged in
monstrous imposition, unless l am
/, realty mistaken"
He seized me by the arm and fairly
dragged me into the painfully lux
urious parlor of the bridal suit The
door of a bed room beyond was very
slightly ajar. WATSON closed it and
then faced me. The man was at bay,
and, | am bound to say, he bore it
well. He is rather superior creature,
