Clergymen as Playwrights.

Among the playwrights of today are
men who devote the best part Of their
lives to the preaching of the Gospel.
In England there are Rev. Freeman
Willis and Rev. Forbes Phillips. In Ire
land there is Rev. Frederick Langbridge,
in America Rev. John Talbot Smith.
Mr.. Willis is probably the best known
One of his early plays was drawn from
real life. In those days, whatever may
be the case now, curates were hard to get
in obscure parishes, and Mr.. Willis was
glad to accept the temporary services of
a certain individual whom / may call
Brown.
Brown had at one time been a Roman
Catholic priest and secretarsto a parson.
but as he did not import controversy into
his sermons, and was thought by MIR
Willis people to be very eloquent, he was
kept on when the immediate need Of his
aid was over, and Mr.. Willis was even
inclined to offer him permanent employ
ment. Before doing so he made inquiries.
By acurious coincidence, Brown had
acted as curate at a church in pimlico,
where Mr.. Willis had years before begun
his calling in London. 1t was easy, there
fore. TO discover his history He was not
a priest at all. but had been an acolyte at
a certain church wrere he had acted the
infant Samuel in mystery play, and it
was even said that he had stolen certain
letters of orders and inserted his own
name in them. In his pretended charac-
ter of priest he had reaped a harvest of
borrowed money and goods obtained on
credit, and had even undergone imprison-
ment for frauds.
During the course of his mock ministry
he had married two young people, In
whom Mr.. Willis was interested. and not
unnaturally, being unlearned in the law,
the clergyman imagined the marriage was
invalid and the children illegitimate. He
luckily met Lord Ashbourne at the time,
and, inquiring on the legal point, learned
that if both or even one Of the contract
ing parties had acted in good faith the
by this time disappeared, and the last
thing heard Of him was the report in an
Australian paper Of his th.-CasselIs

rupted.
IF jon has been told anything about
her father said Mabel, with great de-
cision, "she will go TO my aunt, Mrs.
Fordyce, to know whether it is true"
This was quite new suggestion, and
bore such an air of probability that
Ireagh Seton started to his feet.
III Joan is with her mother, ought
not to be sitting here" he said hastily,
and then as the door opened, he CON
tinued angrily-"No dinner, Sherman;
shall dine with your mistress at her
mothers house"
Sherman stood in The doorway with
an inscrutable expression until MS mas
ter had finished speaking.
Il beg your lordship's pardon" he said,
but Mr.. John Fordyce has called TO in
quire if his sister is heref"
ASK my brother-in- law TO walk up
said Seton testify, and then turning to
Miss Brabazon, he added, "How strange,
why should he call to ask if Joan is
here?"
Mabel sat up and watched the door
with sense of impending trouble. She
was not sure what she expected. but the
first sight of Jacks face justified her
presentiment.
rs not Joan with her mother ?" asked
Seton eagerly, apparently not observing
that there was anything wrong with his
brother-in-law.
"Joan!" repeated Jack with great sur
prise. Il am not troubled about Joan.
| thought she was here. l came to see
her. My mother is very troubled be-
cause Daphne is missing"
Mabel sprang impulsively to her feet.
Il will go back with you and see
aunt" she said. Daphne will be home
shortly, | am sure. Perhaps she called
somewhere, and was detained"
Jack continued to look at her with the
same hopeless misery. For the first time
in her recollection he met her eyes with
out any brightness in his own.
There is no chance of that" he an
swered, and then. turning to his brother
in-law, he added, Il am sorry, Seton,
that you should have married into such
an unfortunate family. NY mother
found a letter. Daphne has really gone!"

Dear Lady Seton: Should the train
slow up, as it seems to be doing, do not
be alarmed If I change into your COM
partment, as l want to speak TO You
about your sister.-Donald MeLennen. !"
She drew a breath of relief as she
reached the signature. She remembered
the young Scotch officer well, and felt
instinctively that he was to be trusted.
About your sister," she quoted soft
~. What could he have to say about
Daphnef"
She had no time to speculate on this
point, for the next moment she started
back with cry of alarm as McLennon
swung himself into the carriage.
Il am quite safe, Lady Seton; there
is not the least danger" he said pleas
antly. as he turned his back on her to
refasten the carriage door. II hope you
will excuse my intruding on you in this
manner, but / caught sight of you at
Charing Cross, and felt sure you would
be annoyed at missing your sister"
Was it her excited fancy, or did he
glance at her sharply and significantly
as he spokef
Missing my sister," she repeated
vaguely. do you mean Daphnei"
YES, Miss Fordyce," he agreed, in the
same pleasant tone; you viii be glad
to hear that she is only little farther
back in the train. There will be nothing
to prevent your joining her at Folke-
stonei"
In this same train?" asked Joan, in
a wondering tone. is her brother with
herr"
She felt sure that there was reason
for the young Scotchman's sudden ap-
pearance, that she had not yet grasped.
but her first startled thought was that
Jack and Daphne must have learnt of
her fight and followed to try and stop
her.
NO; as far as l saw, her brother is
not with her." answered McLennen, and
now it was noticeable that he carefully
Iefrained from looking at Lady Seton,
although nothing could exceed the light
ness of his manner, as he added Miss
Fordyce is travelling with Capt Tiernay
Perhaps you expected him to join your
party at Folkestone"
For the moment, as Joan listened to
him, deadly sickness and faintness
crept over her, and the imminence of
the danger gave her courage.
She must save her sister at all haz-
ards. What did her own affairs signify
when Daphne was in such deadly peril?

LIVING IN LONDON FLATS.
An Expensive Luxury That Has Become
Popular.


The stately family town mansion is out
of date in London, says the London Ex-
press.
Among we'll known people there IS al
ever increasing demand for compact and
cosy fats, and the cr8ze has become so
popular that in a comparatively short
time, it is estimated, the greater part of
the west end will be land of fats.
The Duke of Marlborough is one of the
many married men who occupy flats.
In the vicinity Of Victoria street are fats
where the Dowager Marchioness of Exc
ter and the young marc lis have their
home; also Gen. Sir Godfrey Clerk, Sir
Reginald Guinness, and Gen. Sir Thomas
Kelly Kenny.
In Queen Anne mansions, Westminster,
which form the highest block in London,
are such distinguished tenants as the
Maharajah of Cooch Behar, Sir William
Cunningham, Sir John Gorst, NJ. P, and
Sir Charles Forster. Until recently the
young Prince Louis of Battenberg also
rented a fat
OF course, the luxury of fat residences
is an expensive ore. Enormous rents are
asked in the most favored districts.
In the neighborhood of Chelsea some
mats are priced at f4O0 year, sum for
which commodious house more central
ly situated can often be obtained.
In the very heart of Mayfair a big
block of flats is being erected for the lux
ury-loying men and women of today.
Each apartment win be constructed on
lines similar to those which obtain in
building now being erected near Maryle-
bone road.
Parquet floorings are to do away with
the necessity of carpets, and bookshelves,
cosy-corners, freside seats, and spacious
cupboards and wardrobes win fit into the
walls so as to take up very little space.

Nearly thirty years ago Gen. s. Il.
NJ. Young, then captain and brevet
colonel of cavalry, was commanding
officer at Fort Union, about twenty
five miles east OF Las Vegas, n. NJ.
At that time, according to the FL paso
Times, great part of the business
of the country consisted of govern
ment contracts and the supplying of
the forts and numerous forage agen-
cies scattered throughout the country.
and contractors made easy money mt
the business. Las Vegas was the
home of n number of men who thus
accumulated fortunes. and these men
found 1t profitable TO stand In" with
army officers, so the latter were en-
tertained and made much of by the
former whenever they came to town
on business or otherwise

from Fort Union or en- route to or

SO the next day, while the soldier was

One Sunday morning ii was learned
that the national flag which had float
ed over Washington College had been
pulled down in the night, and was
lying in the mud. The students sus-
pected that the students of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute were respons-
ible for the outrage, bat having no
proof, contented themselves with
cleaning the flag aud replacing It,
Ii was not long before a group of
students from the Virginia Military
Institute stopped on their way by,
and in the light of open day under
took 10 haul the flag down. This time
the Washington boys were on the
alert, and falling upon the depreda-
tors, handled them somewhat roughly,
and beat them from the grounds.
The report that a number of Wash
ingtoD men had beaten one cadet with
out provocation threw the institute in
to an uproar, and the whole corps Inn
mediately turned out to svenge their
comrade. Aiming themselves with
whatever they could lay their hands
on, they formed in battle array and
proceeded toward Washington College.
Their adversaries although not so well
drilled, armed themselves in like man
ner and awaited the attack.

scene, and his decision was made.
As quietly as he had left the church
he placed himself at the head of the
corps and began to give commands
looking to the better order of the
column. The boys were reused ia

the leadership of old Jack and were
