! EXIT THE
! CHAPERON
.....By JANE MEREDITH

.....By JANE MEREDITH


Every one at the Beaconstield inn
had begun to talk about it. This did
not make Jim Paxton feel any more
cheerful. To be outwitted at every
turn by lynx eyed and interchangeable
chaperon was bad enough, but to real
lie that all the boarders at the sum-
mer hotel were enjoying the game was
adding insult to injury.
Up to the third Saturday in July
Mrs. Davidson had been an ideal chap
eron. She averaged three headaches a
week, and these demanded seclusion in
her darkened room. During the hops
she chatted contentedly with other
dowagers in supreme Indifference to
the fact that her charge, Eleanor Mont
gomery, was sitting out every other
extra" on the dim and shadowy porch.
She declared that one chaperon on a
sailing party was sufficient; so, as
young Mrs. Baldwin never got seasick,
while Mrs. Davidson invariably sue
cumbed to the uncomfortable sensa-
ton, the gay little bride went with the
young people on the Bonnie Belle and
Mrs. Davidson read the latest problem
novel on the hotel porch.
But on the night of the third Satur-
day in July Mrs. Davidson underwent
curious change. Vigilance was
stamped upon her usually placid fea-
lures, and she watched Eleanor as IL
she expected the girl to be kidnapped
and held for ransom. Simultaneous
ly with the appearance of these symp-
toms Jim Paxton, joyfully anticipating
three weeks Of Eleanor's society, ar
rived at the Inlet.
Eleanor, clad in a fetching frock of
white mohair, with a spreading collar
of deep blue that opened to show her
graceful throat, was on the porch when
the wagonette drove up from the sta
ton. The other girls, whose elaborate
but diaphanous gowns had yielded to
the memorable sea air, looked limp and
colorless beside Eleanor Jim Paxton
recalled with a certain pride of posses
sion that he had never seen her when
she was not well dressed. He could
imagine her in lustrous velvet presid-
ing over his dinner table, with the old
Paxton plate and the damask that the
Paxtons had for years imported from a
certain Dublin firm.
After he had greeted her, and incl
dentally and perforce a number of 9th
er people of no consequence whatever
from his point of view, he retired to his
room. The first thing he did was to
take from his grip small package
wrapped in heavy white paper. Next
came tissue paper of faintest blue,
then deep blue case, just the color
of Eleanor's eyes, and last stone that
blazed against its nest of satin like a
comet In starless heaven.
It's nervy, sure enough. to bring
this down." he said, turning the ring
to the light "But I don't believe she's

ana shut in, and to attempt to break
out of the circle meant massacre.
Now began fierce attack ON the
ranchhouse that lasted for half an
hour. When the firing had died away,
Billy's bugle calls foated across the
level to tell his comrades that the fort
still held out. and they were answered
with wild cheers. Twice again before
the sun went down the Indians made
fierce attacks on the intrenched troop
ers, to be driven back, and twice and
thrice they renewed the attacks on the
house. Again after the attack at 6
o'clock Billy's bugle calls were heard
but three-quarters of an hour later the
troopers sprang up and exclaimed to
each other:
'Those are not Billy's notes! Some
one else is sounding the callY'
"'Tis Wharton's daughter whis-
pered the old first sergeant
"Our Billy has taught her to blow
the bugle. Comrades, our boy lies dead
or wounded"
Thirty minutes later, as the red rim
Of the summer sun was sinking out of
sight, there came a last call from the
ranchhouse. 1t was from the lips of
the girl again. Just then silence fell
upon the valley. or the low and quaver

GUS state Of affairs. In Italian cities
there are no Stun districts. The poor
est of the poor may be lodged in the
same palace with people whose income
runs over $4,000 annually. The poor
are packed away in the garrets or Ia
the cellars, to be sure, and their mis-
cry must be rendered all the more
acute by the sight and scent Of such
lavish living. High class Italians have
no objections whatever to dwelling over

been blind all winter, and she's not the
sort to lead a fellow on" He laid the
jewel case on the dressing table and
beside it seven photographs of Eleanor
and thick bunch of letters. They
seemed to justify the purchase Of the
ring. Then he dressed for the evening,
slipping the ring into his pocket, with
the thought, "I'll have this on her fin
ger before forty-eight hours have
passed"
But he had not reckoned on Mrs
Davidson. Before half of the forty
something had come between him and
the girl Of his heart. Before the given
term had expired he realized that the
something was Eleanor's chaperon.
Then he sat down calmly and took

What did the woman expect Of her
nieces fiance?
For how could he know that years
before his rich old bachelor uncle had
trified with the heart of Winnie Blake
ly, now Mrs. Prescott Davidson? How
could he know the bitterness with
which the sensitive girl had watched
the illusions of her first love affair fall
like mist at her feet? She had known
so little and he so much.
Mrs Davidson had been abroad dur
ing the winter and knew nothing Of
the growing attachment between her
niece and young Paxton, but from the
moment of his arrival she devoted her
self to foiling his every effort to be
alone with Eleanor. Her headaches
mysteriously disappeared. She assum-
ed m interest in sailing that was dill
gently supported by newfangled cure
for seasickness. At the hops she no
longer chatted In the dowagers' cor
ner, but her eyes watched Eleanor's
every movement. Clambakes became a
source of delight, and her capacity for
long walks discouraged the resourceful
Jimmy.
Two weeks were almost gone, and
the ring still lay in his pocket He was
sitting on the pier, talking with Jean
Brown, Eleanor's most intimate friend.
There was twinkle In Jeans eyes,
and, taking courage, he poured his
trouble in her sympathetic ears, finally
working himself up into fine fury.

Jean went away smiling, and Jim
felt strangely comforted. That night
when they met in the dim corridor
Jean slipped something into his hand.
1t was gray cube and 1t felt like
pasteboard. He glanced at her curl

had left surprising clews behind. The
barmaid, the superior barmaid, was
missing. and her female garments, or at
least most of them. had been left be-
hind. together with articles of apparel
never worn save by the male sex. In
fact, after several hours of study and
investigation the constables had de-

the Sabbath in Scotland, an English
paper tells of postman having a route
between Stirling and BlairdrummOnd.
He was observed to ride bicycle over

the same distance on Sunday, and when
asked why he replied that he was
not allowed to use the machine on Sum-

Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
manders on sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures. but there is only
one instance on record of his having
been actually defeated in a direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, In
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1897.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face of fire of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength of the
mole and the nonappearance of land
force which should have co-operated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral Of
Santa Cruz.
