 When the princess stepped ashore 1t seemed to her as if the heart in her breast was different and separate organ from the one she had carried aboard.
 As the boat put off again for the ship its crew gave a cheer coupled with some vile advice, for which Brandon would gladly have run them through, each and every one. He had to swallow his chagrin and anger and really blamed no one but himself, though it was torture to him that this girl should be subjected to such insults and he powerless to avenge them. The news had spread from the wharf like wild fire, and on their way back to the Bow and String there came from small boys and hidden voices such exclama- tions as: Look at the woman in mans clothing!" Isn't he beautiful man?" Look at him blushv' and others too coarse to be repeated. Imagine the hn- initiating situation, from which there was no escape.
 At last they reached the inn, whither their chests soon followed them, sent by Bradhurst, together with their pas sage money, which he very honestly re- funded.
 Mary soon donned her woman's at tire, of which she had supply in her chest, and at least felt more comforta- ble without the jack boots. She had made her toilet alone for the first time in her life. having no maid to help her,

The Chorus Girls Opportunity.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Sitting in the corner of large dressing room-provided the dressing room is large-the chorus girl understudy waits patiently for the good fairy opportun- ity to knock at the door and call her by name.
 Softly she huns the songs of the part she covets and mentally she pictures the graceful sweep of the dance she would execute if--if-anything should happen to the principal. When she goes home after the performance (and quite frequently the scampering, flirty chorus girl does go straight home after the performance, not withstanding the popular beief) she talks to her mirror and tells the tired vision there reflected just what she would do if-there was q chance.
 She is an honest chorus girl-all chorus girls are honest, as a matter of truth, only sometimes the honesty is so deep down in their hearts no one can find it but themselves-and she wishes no one harm But (with emphasis) if -taiso with emphasis) the principal should fall and break her neck if would be through no fault of hers (the chorus girrs) and there would De-
 And then, suddenly, loudly, firmly there ~ comes the knocking and the good fairy Gin the shape of a rearing tearing, some times swearing stage manager) calls to the chorus girl in the corner and tells her to be ready to go on at once in the important part she has understudied and dreamed about, rehearsed and repeated, practced and gone over until she knows every twist of her principals ankle and every comb she wears in her black hair.
 Then there is the quaking fear of fail- ure. All a-tremble the confident one tries on the grand clothes she is to wear; into the eyes of friend and enemy alike she gazes for look of sympathy; adroitly she fishes for the lingering compliment on the lips of every member of the com pany. She wants to cry, but she hasn't time, and there are too many looking at her And so she fldgets until the cue for her entrance is given. Then there is 0 sudden twitch in her nerves, she finds herself in the center of the stage, and she knows that one false step and she Is gone. Generally her confidence returns little by little; there is an approving spat of sympathetic hands at the close of her first number; she gains a little as she proceeds, and at the close she has either made an advance in her stage world or she goes home to cry out her failure on her pillow.

not call that evening or the next day; that she was ill and wanted to explain. Senator Clark sent a note on his card in return.
 Senator Clark's counsel, when shown this card admitted that the handwriting was that of Senator Clark. It is an or dinary engraved visiting card with the name w. A. Clark on it, and the fol- lowing written In lead pencil: 'I have company for dinner and we are going to the theater this evening Regret very much"
 There were other letters and notes, most of which expressed regrets at being unable to see Miss McNelis. They grew colder in tone, and finally one was received which was quite curt.
 1t was dated January 15, '9S, and read: Dear Miss McNelis: I have not the least use for any books. Have twice as many now as I can take care of. Yours sincerely w A. Clark"
 These books, Miss McNeIlis explained, were sent to his residence on approval The price was $312. Miss McNellls said she had for years been a book canvasser, and had sold books to many dstin- guished persons.
 Grace Bell Wiggins, a friend of Miss MeNellis. testified in her behalf. She re- membered October 15, 1s96 It was Miss McNelliss birthday. and she came down to the Wiggins' flat and showed her, her mother and her sister the letter and check for $25 which MT. w. A Clark had sent her. The S25 was to buy herself a birthday present-was what the witness remembered of the contents of the let ter. She had known Miss McNellis five years In Washington and five years in this city Her general appearance was well. nice, plump little woman you might say. Of course, she was very much shorter than I am but she was plump and nice-looking and well dressed"

sEcRsl SUIT HEARD.
Senator Clark Sued for $15o,ooo, and
 Miss McNeIlis Lost

From the New York American.
 Senator William A. Clark, the multi millionaire copper king, has been sued for $15O,OOO damages for breach of prom ise The suit was tried in secret before referee more than a year ago, and was decided against Miss Mary McNellis
 The matter became public through the application of attorneys for Miss Me Nellis to have the case reopened that a public trial may be had before a jury.
 James l.. Bishop was the referee be- fore whom the case was tried in March of last year. Miss McNells told him the story of how she met Senator Clark, of her relations with him, and produced many letters and notes that he had sent her
 Senator Clark, who appeared as a wit ness in his own defense. admitted his ac- quaintance with the plaintiff, but de- nied that he had ever promised to marry her. Senator Clark Is 60 years old, a widower with five children Miss McNel- lis admits that she lis past thirty-six.''
 Miss McNellis testified that she first met Senator Clark in the Montana head quarters at the democratic convention in Chicago in 1896. to which she had gone on a pass furnished by the late Senator Brice She says that she called at the Montana headquarters in search of Elliot Danforth. MT. Clark met her. and after a little talk said that he would like to see her again.
 Miss McNelis says that she met MT. Clark several times in Chicago and at his request called on him after her re- f1rf n thtG cifV Sbp him in tba Waldorf and he later called on her at the St. Cloud. where she was stopping. took her to dinner and the next day sent her a check for s25 with which to buy her a birthday present.
 The acquaintance ripened rapidly, says Miss McNellis, and after time they be- came engaged. She presented many let ters and notes which she claimed to have received from Senator Clark. One of the letters was dated December 29, and was as follows:
 Dear Miss McN.-I have your note and regret l cannot call this evening I am simply overwhelmed and have not a minute l can call my own. and 1t will be so for some days yet. l was sorry did not find you in the other evening Please do not miss anything on my account as it is absolutely impossible for me to make any engagements l never had so much to do in all my life. and have not been able to devote one-third the time to my family that I would or should do With kinds regards and wishes for q happy New Year, l remain yours sin cerely. w A O.
 letter written to her on paper of the Waldorf and bearing date of August 20 was as follows
 Dear Miss MI have your kind note and would be pleased to call, but I am stopping at the seashore, where I can hear what the wild waves are saying. and only run in for day. expect to go out this p. m. Have just arrived a few days ago from the west. Hope you are well. Hoping to see you before long I remain sincerely, C."
 At the time she received this letter Miss McNellis said she was i'll in bed She had been in bed then about ten days. She wrote him, she declared. another letter, simply asking him if he would

Child Study.

The time at which a child should be- gin to study is a vexed question of edu- cation, and one which shows no signs of being settled. The superintendent of the Quincy (Mass.) schools raised the question few days since and asserted that q child should not be sent to school until it was seven. Other educators, however do not agree with him. President Eliot ot Harvard thinks the little girl or boy should enter the kindergarten at four and the superintendent of the Boston schools, Edwin r. Seaver, suggests five as a suitable age at which to begin the school life. The superintendent of the Cambridge schools, Frank Cogswell thinks that even three is not too early for the kindergarten.

Whitney colors will be first at the wire, at least so trainers tell me.
 Young Captain Pipers visit to London is bearing fruit. The deputy police com missioner was impressed with London streets. The narrow, twisting thorough fares of the British capital more crowded with traffic than the broad streets of New York, impressed the thoughtful youth with their freedom from congestion. He also observed that the Bobby was one having authority. When he said to a teamster 'go" the teamster did not swear and swagger, but went; and when he said to cabbie come" the cabbie did not stand In his seat, swing his whip and describe be- wildering circle and shout maledictions at all in his way This moving hither and thither as directed, kept the process sion moving. He also observed that mer- chants were not allowed to make tenn porary warehouses of the sidewalk and half the street. Columbus Piper return cd and forthwith profiting by travel and observation. proceeded to untangle the most congested crossings. Good. But 1t was not necessary to go abroad to know the evils of New York streets All that is, and has been requisite, is the enforce ment of the laws ''touchin on and ap- pertalnin to- street traffic. But citl. zens, Piper has learned how to perform his duty even if he had to go to London to learn how.
