GIRL WHO GOT PRETTIER.

An Embarrassing Misunderstanding
Caused by a Vocal Cockneyism.
Mr.. Charles Whymper, the we'll
known engraver and animal painter,
told the following anecdote a few
Sos at Highgate last night, and as a
mark of honor his eldest daughter was
assigned to me to take down to dim
ner. She's a bright girl, and I got
along very nicely with her and Lady
Bletherington on the other side, until
the ladies were on the eve Of retiring
to the drawing room. 7 was talking
about the beautiful scenery near the
house, the views from the windows.
the fine air, when Miss suddenly
said: 4 think get prettier every day
don't your What could she mean? I
did not dare to answer her, so I said:
I beg your pardon-what did you
say?' I said I think I get prettier
every day There was no installing
her words, so T answered: Yes, in
deed, you get prettier; and no wonder,
in such fresh air, and Just then she
caught her mothers eye, and with the
went out she looked over her shoulder
with such a whitening scorn in her
eyes that knew I had put my foot in
it some how. Then it flashed upon
me that bad misunderstood her; she
had dropped an h What she had
said was not silly compliment to
herself; the sentence really was: I
think Highgate prettier every day."
Mr.. Whymper's hair is quite gray now.

Or not. He read a. number OF letters,
kilograms, and one cablegram from
London. commencing his utterances.
The incident was the feature of the
day. Earlier in the session Hill, OF
Connecticut. and Shaforth, of Colo

Texas, criticised the president for
changing his position on trusts.
Washington. Feb. 19.-Senate.-The
senate continued the consideration of
the Philippine tariff bill today, the
main speeches being made by Bur
rows Of Michigan, for the bill, and
Money Of Mississippi, against it, al
though Mitchell of Oregon, Foraker
of Ohio, Mallory of Florida and Till
man of South Carolina all -ook more
or less part in the general debate on
the subject.
House-Again today the general de-
bate on the Indian appropriation bill
was devoted almost entirely to eX-
traneous topics. AS on yesterday, the
issue raised by Wheeler, of Kentucky,
| few days ago. came in for consid-
| cradle attention and was the feature
| of the session. Bromwell, republican,
of Ohio; Boutell, republican, of Illi-
nois; Kern of Illinois, democrat, and
Fleming, a Georgia democrat, added
| their views to the literature on the
| subject.
Washington, Feb. 20.-Senate.-With
the exception of few minutes given
| to routine business, the senate today
| devoted it's entire session to the
Philippine question. Patterson, of
| Colorado. one of the minority mem.
bers of the Philippine committee, de-
| livered his first extended speech in
the senate. and was given a most at
tentive and careful hearing. He dis
enacted by the Philippine commits
SION, vigorously attacking the au-
! thority of the commission to enact
| and enforce such laws. He maintain
ed that congress alone had the power
to put in force enactments of that
character. He compared information
| furnished by the executive depart
ments Of the government with some
of the statements OF Governor Taft in
his testimony before the Philippine
committee with respect to the capa-
bilites of the Philippine people, and
declared, with some heat. his belief
that Governor Taft misrepresented the
true situation in the islands for mo-
tives unknown. He asserted that if
| the 100000 Of Christians in the Phil
the cruelties practiced on them by the
| American authorities would have to
stop, as no MEMBER Of congress would
be able to withstand the wrath of the
| Methodists. Baptists and Presbyter-
ians Of this country. Nelson, OF Min
nesota, presented legal and constitu
Iional argument in support Of this
governments action in the Philippine
archipelago, and sharply criticised
Mr. Patterson for injecting into the
controversy the question of sectar'
ianism. McCumber, Of North Dakota
urged that congress should not bind
the future now by declaration of a
definite policy regarding the Philip
pines, as it was desirable that all pos
sible information should be in hand
before permanent policy was deter
mined upon.

John Jacob Astor was asked one
day what was the largest amount OF
money he had ever made in one trans
action. This he declined to answer,
but said he would tell the largest sum
that he failed to make. With De Witt
Clinton and Gouverneur Norris, he
said, he had planned to buy Louisiana
from France and sell it 20 the United
States government, retaining the pub
lie domain and charging two and one
half per cent commission They
changed their minds and Mr..
Astor said that he lost thirty millions
of dollars by failing to go into the deal.

John Il. Dardis, had hot time for
little while on q recent morning. AS

gone two blocks, he felt several stings
from his thigh to his ankle. Rushing
into a clothing store to investigate, he
discovered that a number of hornets

CHAPTER XII.

Lady Frances left the room with
alacrity. Gerard Immediately bent
over Alice, and his tone changed.
II have sent her away on purpose.
She'll be half an hour rummaging,
for have not seen the book there for
ages. Alice, one word before we part.
You must know that it was for your
sake I refused the marriage proposed
to me by my uncle; you will not let
me go into Punishment without word
Of hope a promise Of your love to
tighten it,
ooh, Gerard" she eagerly said, x
think I should have spoken myself, If
you had not. Just look at me-"
II am looking at you," he fondly
answered.
"Then look at my hectic face, my
constantly tired limbs, my sickly
hands; do they not plainly tell you
that the topics you would speak of
must be barred topics to me?"
"Why should they be? You will get
stronger"
"Never. There is no hope Of it.
Many years ago, when the illness first
came on me. the doctors said I might
get better with time; but the time has
come, and come, and come, and-gone,
and only left me a more confirmed in
valid. To an old age I cannot live;
most probably but a few years; ask
yourself, Gerard, If I am one who
ought to marry and leave behind a
husband to regret me; perhaps chill
dren. No, no."
"You are cruel, Alice"
1.-THE cruelty would be-, if selishly
allowed you to talk of love to me; or,
still more selfish to let you cherish
hopes that I would marry. When you
limited at this the other evening when
than wretched bracelet was lost, re-
preached myself with cowardice in
| not answering more plainly than you
had spoken. should have told you,
Gerard, as tell you now, that nothing,
no persuasion from the dearest person
on earth shall ever induce me to
| marry"
"You dislike me, see that
II did not say So" answered Alice
| with a glowing cheek. 81 think it
| very possible that-if I could ever al
| low myself to dwell on such things-I
| should like you very much, perhaps
| better than I could like any one"
"And why will you not?" her per-
suasively uttered.
Gerard, have told you. am too
| weak and sickly to be other than
am. 1t would only be deceiving myself
and you. No, Gerard, my love and
hopes must lie elsewhere"
"Where?" he eagerly asked.
Alice pointed upwards.
II am learning to look upon it as my
home" she whispered, land 1 must not
suffer hindrances to obscure the way.
It will be a better home than even
your love, Gerard"
Gerard Hope smiled.
