Why Criticism of New York's Finest
Hotels Suddenly Stopped.

Why Criticism of New York's Finest
Hotels Suddenly Stopped.
Some years ago I was dining with
a party of wealthy Westerners in New
York City," said Mr.. BENJAMIN 7.
Leslie, Of Montana, to a Washington
Post reporter. Among them were
Marcus DAILY, Charlie Broadwater, ex.
Gov. Hauser, Hon. Tom Carter, Sena.
tor w. A. Clark, John w. Mackay,
Lucky" Baldwin and e. Z. Bonner.
ut seems that no two of them were
stopping at the same hotel, and each
had grievance against the hosiery
where he put up. One said he meant
to quit the Fifth Avenue; another in
weighed against the Waldorf; third
thought that Delmonicos was terribly
overrated, and SO on. Not one had a
good word to say of any of the taverns
or eating houses Of Gotham, and
there was special criticism of the
food.
FINALLY, after there was little lull
in the choruses of adverse criticism,
old man Bonner burst into loud
laugh. When asked the cause of his
merriment, Bonner said: I've been
listening to you fellows talk, and ]
tell you frankly, you give me a pain.
To hear such as you run down these
swell establishments in New York Is
enough to make the angels weep. Why,
it hasn't been SO many years since
I've seen every one of you squatted on
the grass of tne prairie, eating beans
out of frying pan with your fingers
1T was the everlasting truth, anc
the knocking of the hotels ceased

CHAPTER XII.
London Life,

The trusting, generous letter which
Joris had written to his son-in-iaw
arrived p few days before Hyde's de-
parture for London.
Hyde knew well the importance of
Katherine's fortune. 1t enabled him
to face his relatives and friends on
a very much better footing than he
had anticipated. So he was no longer
averse to meeting his former compan-
excuse matrinmony. .a
His first social visit was paid to his
maternal grandmother, the dowager
Lady Capel. He found her in the
most careless dishabille, wigless and
implanted, and rolled up comfortably
in an old wadded morning gown that
had seen years of snuffy service But
she had outlived her vanity. Hyde had
chosen the very hour in which she had
nothing whatever to amuse her, and
he was a very welcome interruption.
And, upon the whole, she liked her
So she heard the rattle of Hyde's
sword and the clatter of his feet on
the polished stairs. with a good deal
of satisfaction. II have him here and
shall do my best to keep him here"

even the cold splendors of royal re-
ceptions. He had given Katherine no
warning of his visit. He wanted to
see with his own eyes, and hear with
his own ears, the glad tokens Of her
happy wonder
The kitchen fire threw great lustres
across the brick-paved yard; and the
blinds in Katherine's parlor were un-
drawn, and its fire and candle light
shone on the freshly laid tea table,
and the dark walls cleaning with
punches of holly and mistletoe. But
she was not there. He only glarrced
inside the room and then, with a
smile on his face, went swiftly up
stairs. He had noticed the light in
the upper windows, and he knew
where he would find his wife. Before
he reached the nursery he heard
Katherine's voice. The door was q
little open, and he could see every
part of the charming domestic scene
within the room. A middle-aged
woman was quietly putting to rights
the sweet disorder incident to the
undressing Of the baby. Katherine
had played with it until they We're

she was softly singing to the drowsy
child at her breast.
Over and over, softer and slower,
went the melody. 1t was evident that
the boy was asleep and that Katherine
was going to lay him in his cradle.
He watched her do it; watched her
gently tuck in the cover and stand
for moment to look down at the
child. Then with face full of love
she turned away, smiling, and quite
unconsciously came toward him on
tiptoes. With his face beaming, with
his arms opened, he entered; but
with such a sympathetic understand
ing of the sweet need of silence and
restraint, that there was no alarm,
no outcry, 10 fuss or amazement.
Only a whispered Katherine" and
the swift rapture of meeting hearts
and lips.
