situation after situation, until by means
of a patiently elaborated disguise he
changed his appearance utterly and IN
der cover of this escaped from his per-

There was in a London city office
clerk who, SO far as facial lineaments
We're concerned, would have passed for
the twin brother of DR.. Leyds. In his
personal character he was as patriotic
Britisher as ever breathed, but his
resemblance to the Boer agent was the
bane of his existence. His fellow clerks
made his life misery to him, custom
ers stared and even the head of the firm
smiled covertly. The victim made up
his mind to act, asked for a few days
holiday and returned to the Office no
more in his old shape. He had become
a new man, and, as if to suggest q wish
on Dame Fortunes part to atone for
the trick she had played him, his ap-
pearance was now SO alert and youthful
looking that he was promoted to a high

viously decided not to give him.

Washington, Feb. 11.-A mahogany pi-
'ano stands in Admiral Schley's apart
ments, and the admiral and Mrs. Schley
are wondering where it came from. In the
admiral's desk is receipted bill of 81, 600
for the instrument. Several days ago a
van drew up in front of the Richmond
and several men began to unload aIplano,
which they said was for Admiral Schley.
The admiral came down stairs, protesting
that he had ordered no piano. One OF the
men handed him the receipted bill for
81 900 and also a short note. The note
partially cleared up the situation. 1t
concluded:
Please accept this gift from sincere ad-
mrer, one who desires no notoriety, bu'
who wishes to take this method of expressing
his regard for you.
There was nothing to indicate the iden-
tity of the writer, and the handwriting
