and. returning Livermore's stiff bow,
he watched the soldier saunter among
the other club members, chatting with
this one and laughing at some sally as
though nothing had occurred to dis
turb his equanimity.
The Marquis frowned.
He knew this man was absolutely
ruined and yet his victory had been
robbed of half its sweetness because
he had failed to quench that indomit-
able soldier spirit that refused to
knuckle under at misfortune's call.
That afternoon he attended a garden
party at Lady Catherwood's palatial
home. Here he was, as usual, the lion
of the occasion, and his hostess was
kept busy introducing him. Finally
they approached single figure, stand
ing under a royal palm that had been
brought from the famous Catherwood
conservatory for the occasion-the hg-
ure of a young woman.
Her back was toward those who ad-
vanced but he could catch the queenly
poise of her proud head. If her face
did not disappoint the anticipation
aroused by this first glance, she must
be a fit subject for an artists dream

ing the Marquis, and bring him a cap
tive in my train to pay his respects
to my guest and kinswoman," said
Lady Catherwood. blandly.
The queenly figure turned, and in so
doing came under the soft light of a
nearby lantern.
Thus the Marquis found himself face
to face with a spectre of the past
again in memory he could see this
gloriously beautiful creature gracefully
gliding about in the dance, while man
dolins and guitars struck weird chords
that served as time to her flying feet;
again he could see the gay sash tied in
a knot that ornamented one plump
shoulder, while shining knife fast
ened by scarlet ribbon, decorated the
other, the cold, cruel blade nesting
against her heaving bosom as she thus
invited her blooded admirers to
meet in mortal combat, for the guest
of Lady Catherwood was no other
than Senorita Juanita, the belle OF
Gautarica.

In certain case tried by Judge F.
Carroll Brewster in the old court room
at Chestnut and Sixth streets a point
was warmly argued by two young law
yers.
The judges decision displeased the
younger counsel, who in heated man
ner said:
"will your honor note an excep-
tom"
Certainly" said the judge, and
leaned forward to make the entry on
his docket. At that instant a heavy
casting of the arms of Pennsylvania
became detached from the ceiling and
fell upon the judges chair, crushing
the back and striking the floor with a
great noise.
The Judge calmly finished his note.
A backward glance informed him of
what had happened. With his inimit-
able smile and a meaning look at the
"exceptioner," he dismissed the Incl
dent with the remark: at is not al

CHAPTER XVI.
From Over the Sea.

The Marquis of Montezuma bowed
low. His face was as calm and unruf-
fed as the summer sky; not even for
an instant did he betray the slightest
emotion, and yet the surprise must
have inwardly staggered him.
The presence Of Dona Juanita here,
in England-did it portend disaster to
his long-cherished plans?
AS for the naughty daughter Of the
dons, she was affable enough, and
smiled while extending dainty hand
which he was compelled to accept.
Lady Catherwood had scurried away
to look after some necessary details
connected with her duties as hostess,
for one cannot entertain and enjoy
themselves at the same time.
A silence fell upon the two.
The senorita was looking at her
companion under half-closed lids, and
he awaited what he knew was coming
awaited it with that calmness natur-
al to security.
"Senor Jack, between you and me,
there is no need of this GOODNESS, this
secrecy. Surely you could not believe
me so blind that I did not recognize
you at the first glance" said the girl,
suddenly laying a hand on his arm.
"I realized that and 1 have been
simply waiting until you might see fit
to speak. You see l admit all you
say am free to confess it," was the
cool reply he made.
''Ah, Senior Jack, you are sphinx

commence upon another tack. You
have declared yourself incapable Of
affection, yet 7 have known you to
lean upon one man with such conf
dence that l am sure he occupied a

The Marquis showed signs of emo
ton at last-his wonderful reserve had
been pierced.

Hunting with Trained Wolves.

Bert Decker, young sportsman OF
Tuscola, ILL.,, has succeeded in tanning
two wolves, and they are very valua-
BILE as hunters. He captured them
when young, raised them as kittens, y
and now, though as large as shepherd
dogs, they are quite tame and
playful. Decker says the wolves can
outrun dogs on the hunt, and are very
longwinded. Their favorite way of
catching a rabbit is to run alongside
of him, put their nose underneath Mr.
Cottontail, and throw him ten or
twelve feet in the air, catching him in
their mouth as he falls. The wolves
always return to their master when
called. Decker's success has caused
other sportsmen to undertake the
training of wolves to supplant dogs in
hunting, and it is probable that wolves
will find place in future Kennels

The Modern Monte Cristo.

Two weeks more sufficed to make
the Marquis of Montezuma famous in
London. Every day new accounts of
astonishing features connected with
his life appeared il the papers.
Naturally the Marquis was the most
sought after man in all London.
Bushels of invitations poured in
upon him over which his secretaries
were busy ali day, their labor being
usually a polite note, declining the
honor on account of pressing engage
ments.
The Marquis accepted few invita-
tons, and these generally took him
to the clubs, though the season was so
late few notables could be met with
there.
Captain Lvermore had forced the
Hon. Prentice Langford to keep his
word-he had early made the acquaint-
ance of the American Midas, and they
reached the friendly stage of inter-
course that is marked by a game be-
tween gentlemen, but somehow. for the
first time in his life, the genial cap
tain found luck run harshly, and, in
stead of handling some of the wonder
full wealth of the nabob, he was strip
red of all the ready cash he had at
hand.
Certain Of retrieving his fortunes,
he played time after time Finally he
staked his all on a last chance. Evil
fortune followed him to the very end
he was compelled to drink the dregs,
for he had lost.
Then, looking up into the face of his
opponent, he saw a sparkle in the eyes
of the Marquis, glow of triumph that
gave him a cold chill.
Where had he seen that same look
before? Cudgel his brain as he would,
he could not remember. Il am done
for tonight, Marquis; you have won
all I possess; your luck is prodigious,"
he said, as he rose.
-Ah, indeed, you are kind to say so,
captain; but assure you II was not
always the case. The demon Of mis-
fortune has had his little ding at my
door. even as he now fuocks at yours,

COunterfeiters.

There is nothing which Uncle Sam
protects with greater care than his
currency. Because Uncle Sans money
is good there are always people. ready
to counterfeit it, and for these people
Uncle Sam has special body of Sc
cret service detectives always on the
watch. The most dangerous counter
feits are those which most closely imi-
tate the original, and to arrest the
makers of dangerous counterfeits the
United States spares no efforts and no
expense. 1t seems pity that the
United States government could not
extend its surveillance of counter
feiters to those who counterfeit whole
some foods, reliable medicines and
other articles necessary to the health
of the public.

He hurried over to the table, upon
which he laid a couple of bank notes,
and tearing sheet Of paper from his
wade mecum, wrote upon 1t these
words:

for brighter things in the future
trust in God"
A movement on the part of Mazette
warned him it was time to be gone
ne only fingered long enough to pin
the money and the note to the table
and then walked hastily down the
stairs.
Once outside the marquis walked to-
ward the Strand with a swinging
stride-he seemed to have thrown on
some of the cynical moodiness that
had marked his intercourse with all
men since striking London.
Finally he drew up at shop almost
in the shadow of st. Clements church,
in neighborhood famous for its lit
erary and artistic atmosphere.
Over the door was the sign OF Duval,
sacred to many who had handled

He watched the customer separate
half dozen of the little paintings on
ivory from the rest, and marveled at
the ease with which he had thus pick
ed out all the works Of one brush.
"These are the only decent ones you
have. Tell me how much for the lot, -
he said, quietly.
Mr. Duval named price far in eX-
cess of their intrinsic value, Judging
that he must have been blind to their
merits. and was Immediately cursing
himself under his breath for not hav-

marquis carelessly threw the amount
down.

would like to have dozen family por-
traits done by the same brush. For
each of these I shall pay five pounds to
