MR.. AUGUSTUS S. NOOK.


I don't know this man. Send him
away" said Mrs. Freylinghuysen.
Presently the butler came back with
this message:
He won't 90 away. ma'am- He says
ne is a friend OF Mr.. Lowndes and that
he wants 70 speak TO you for moment
on very urgent business
Wen. show him up said Mrs. Frey
hnghuysen, with a perceptibie stir of dis
tress.
Mr.. Nook. who thereupon entered. was
plainly what is denominated a mucker.
His clothes. all Of the latest fashion. in
Guiding a striped blue suit. a bright red
shirt and EXCEPTIONALLY large patent
leather shoes. loudly announced the fact.
After some uncomfortable preliminaries
he said:
I've got a few letters Of yours TO Mr..
LOwndes. and 1 felt sure you would like
10 see me about them. Mrs. Freyling
huysen, and our firm had a judgment
against LOWndes. and although he got
away. we attached all his belongings.
including these here letters. Perhaps Mr.
Freylinghuysen would like 10 have them.
but I thought I would see you first
4 little history ran through Mrs. Ere
linghuysen's mind When she was very
young fully two years ago. she thought
she loved Jack Lowndes very dearly.
These letters indicated it. He was an
impecunious. reckless, handsome, rather
dissipated young fellow. Then she had
attracted the admiration OF Robert Ere
linghuysen, one of the richest men in
New York. and at the top of the society
heap. She become engaged and later
married him. Jack Lowndes went west
and died mysteriously in Carson New.
Some SAID he killed himself on account
of his disappointment in love.
1t would be very unpleasant to have
him read this bundle OF letters. she
thought.
We'll. how much money do You want
for the letters2' she coldly asked Mr..
Nook
Mr. Nook. expansively I'm a gentle
man. I don't take money from ladies.
and especially a lady like you. But I tell
you what. You're just going to your
shatto at Newport, ] hear. Now, I'm
going to take my vacation. too, and I'd
like to make the acquaintance of the
Newport set. OF course, I'm in society
myself but I'd like TO know your set
too. I want TO be sociable. Now, you ask
me up to Newport for week and the
first dinner party I sit down to with
Mrs. Astcr. I hand you over the letters
on the quiet. Of course. Isn't that fa;r?"
Mrs. Frelinghuysen shuddered. Then
she pOndered. Perhaps Nook would be
considered a novel attraction in Newport.
At any rate, she would have the letters.
"Oh, you needn't worry about my
savoir faire.'' roke in the irrepressible
Nook. Il know what's what Gus
Nook is considered the most elegant
dresser in Brooklyn society" He hitched
up his trousers legs with visible satisfac-
ton.
Il agree to your terms said Mrs.
Frelinghuysen. more pleasantly than be-
fore. Now, gOodby. I've almost
missed an engagement"

seems to have inherited the new post
which he is to fill from him as well.
as the father, John NJ. Francis, rep
resented this country at the Grecian
court during the administration OF
President Grant. Later he was trans
ferred to Portugal, and from there

comes his appoint ment to the same

the same age as his father when he

While Col. Francis has been active

pie in and out of office; he has studied
their languages, their habits and their
history, and Though his writings has
given to the western world some of
its most valuable information regard
ing them.
The interest of Sir Ernest in the
japanese people existed before he was
first sent to japan during the days
when civil war was ravsging that coun-
try, and his arrival in the land but
quickened this interest. So asSiduous-
ly did he apply himself TO the study of
them that he often followed particu-
lar characters representing different
classes through the streets. or Travelled
with the countrymen for some distance
out of the city when opportunity Of
fered.
One of these expeditions, some three
years after his arrival in Japan, cost
him his liberty for time, and came
near costing him his life. Rebel spies
lowered about the city constantly. even
though the headquarters of the rebels
were at Shimonoseki, far away to the
south and west, and during one of his
short pilgrimages in search ofiuforma-
eANH hS vas way ldlO Dy some halt
dozen Of these spies of the foreign-hat
ing rebels and threatened with death.
In hope of reward from the rebel chiefs
his execution was delayed for a time
until they could be communicated with.
In the meantime, on September and
6, 1864, the allied fleets had taught the
rebels the power of the foreigners they
were defying, and instead of the con-
templated praise for his captors. and
order for his prompt execution, there
came an order for his release.
Sir Ernest was born June 80, 1913,
and is a bachelor.

name. Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan came
of fine old Persian stock. He was gifted
in all the learning of the east, also was
he the possessor of fabulous riches and
many fine clothes, all Of which he came
to Washington to display. But his
name was too much for him. He had
not been IN the country a week; even
worse than that, he had not yet reached
our shores before the name of Hadji
Hassim Ghooly Khan had been coupled
with all sorts of things that would
make a funny rhyme. These rhymes
with caricatures of the owner of such
a name greeted him as he stepped
from the vessel in New York; they
followed him to Washington; the boys
on the streets cried them at him when
he went for a constitutional or to pay
a state visit.
He stood it manfuIly for awhile; he
tried to bury the name before the dig
nifty of his Office and his fine raiment,
and then, just as the fun was beginning
to lag a bit, he made his fatal mistake
he complained to the state depart
ment Of the treatment accorded him
by the American press-and the boys
he did not understand the workings
Of free press in free country, nor
the inalienabie rights of young Ameri-
ca. That complaint started all the fun
anew, and Hsdji Hassim Ghooly Khan.
In sheer desperation, packed up his fine
clothes, took all his name with him,
and left for home, never to return.
From that time until a few weeks
ago Persia has been without a diplo-
matte representative at Washington.
Then came a new one with the less
rhymthical name of Isaac Khan Mo-
fakhamed Dovet. It is said that he.
too, had much wealth and fine clothes,
and that he is establishing a legation
In Washington that makes all previous
efforts of his countrymen pale into
insignifoance by comparison.

king, which the English home govern
ment seemed to believe had been too
much for his capacity, and was ordered
to exchange posts with Sir Ernest Ma
son Satow, then English minister to
Japan. Such change meant reduc-
ton both in rank and salary, for the
English minister to whom every for
eign envoy in Peking gave praise, and
8 corresponding rise to Sir Ernest, to
whom England felt she would rather
trust her interests during the peace
negotiations.
But England has recovered her
equilibrium and seemingly wishes to
make amends 10 Sir Claude for the in

is rumored that the post at Toxic will
be increased to the rank of am bassado or,
and that Japan will return the COM
pliment by increasing the rank of her
minister to the court of ST. James to
the rank OF an ambassador.
The English press says the change
is to be made both on public and per-
sonal grounds, the idea being to honor
deserving public servant who has
