She thrust to the wall on either side
of him, then springing lightly back

yellow hair had fallen over her neck
and shoulders In loose wavy mass,
out Of which her face beamed with
bewitching effect upon her captive.

house was swelling louder and he
made another movement TO go.

"Sit down on the chair there and make
yourself comfortable. You are not go

TO stay here and talk with me and
Mother Roussillon. We are lonesome
and you are good company"
A shot rang out keen and clear, there
was a sudden tumult that broke up the
singing, and presently more firing at
varying intervals cut the night air from

stopping on the instant, he was so
shocked by his own daring, but he laid
hand on her hair, stroking 1t softly.
Just moment she was at loss
looking a trife embarrassed; then,
with a merry laugh. she stepped aside
and said:
THAT sounds better, NJ Rene de
Ronville; much better. You will be as
polite as Father Beret after a little
more training"
She slipped past him while speak
ing and made her way back again TO
the main room, whence she called to
him:
"Come here. I've something to show
you"
He obeyed, a sheepish trace on his
countenance betraying his self con
sciousness.
When he came near Alice. she was
taking from its buckhorn hook on the
wall a rapier, one OF a beautiful pair
hanging side by side.
Papa Roussillon gave me these" she
said. with great animation. HE bought
a long time. Where he came across
them he would not tell. But look. how
beautiful! Did you ever see anything
so finer
Guard and hilt were OF silver; the
blade, although somewhat corroded
still showed the fine, wavy lines OF
Damascus steel and traces OF delicate
engraving, while in the end OF the
hilt was set large oval turquoise.
"A very queer present TO give a
girl" said Rene. What can you do
with them?"
A captivating fash Of playtulness
came into her face and she sprang
backward. giving the sword a semi
circular turn with her wrist The
blade sent forth a keen hiss as il cut
the air close, very close to Rene's nose.
He jerked his head and flung up his
hand
She laughed merrily, standing beauti-
fully poised before him, the rapier's
point slightly elevated. Her short skirt
left her feet and ankles free to show
their graceful proportions and the per-
feet pose in which they held her supple

SORRY, NOW HE'S ARRESTED.
Girls Sweetheart Returns to Find That
the Warrant She Got Is Still Good.

Lewis Skier of 1852 Madison street raised
a great to do last night by coming back
to his nneteen-year sweetheart, Bessie
Rabinowitz. Skier ran away last month
and Bessie was so heartbroken that she
walked the length Of Market street seek
ing carbolic acid.
At one store she got nothing, at another
salt and water. Drinking the mixture in
the presence OF Patrolman Wertheimer
landed her in Bellevue to be examined as
to her sanity. Partly to justify her act
she swore out a warrant for Skler's arrest
as soon as she was discharged.
The warrant was given to court ofhcer
to serve, and nobody thought anything
more of it until the young man walked
into Bessie's fathers parlor at 100 Madison
street last night.
Then, while Bessie and her sweetheart
were making up, tn, girls brother ran over
to the Madison street stati and told
Sergt Carson Of the return. When two
cops interrupted the peacemaking B sses
screams brought the whole tenement to
the street and to these, on the way to the
station, were added the inhabitants of every
other tenement along the route. When
the Madison street station was reached
the doors had to be locked and four cops
had to shoe the aggr CATION on. while
Bessie and Lewis thrashed out their troubles
before the sergeant.
"Come to court tomorrow and I'll ask
the Judge to marry you," suggested the
sergeant automatically. And, with re-
luciano :, Bessie let her lover go.

society last week that very young boys
were doing acrobatic tricks in room in
Clarendon Hall, in East Thirteenth street,

Agents Pisarra and Bohn and two police
men went to the place on Saturday night
and found dozen boys at work in gym
nasum. Each boy was in charge Of
trainer.
The agents saw one boy years old doing
things which they thought endangered his
life. They watched him throw back somer-
sets from the outstretched hands Of
muscular man. After that he got on the
shoulders of the muscular man, jumped in
the air, turned somerset and landed on
the shoulders of another man.
The agents arrested the muscular man,
who was the father of the boy. He was in
ring costume. He said he was Martin
Beichert, manager of the Dolla troupe,
and that he lived at 1a% Second avenue.
He explained that he came from Germany
a year ago and did not think he was violating
the law in teaching his son to become an

raigned in the Yorkville police court yes
