fab" as Willie called 1t.
The next day tall, stylish young
lady called upon several business men
who had advertised for bookkeepers
and stenographers. She was decided
ly handsome. Behind the chiffon veil
one caught bewitcning glimpses of
CURING yellow hair, great brown eyes
and pink cheeks. One man gazed
rather pointedly at her face while
questioning her as to her ability, and
remarked in unctlous tones, II think
you'll do very nicely my dear" He
was somewhat chagrined to receive
the decided reply: 81 withdraw the APP

Out in the hall the bewitching vision
clenched well-gloved hand, and
Willie's voice muttered: "Confound Ms
impudence! To think of his looking at
Lii like that"
The young lady rose gracefully,
gripped the back Of her trailing skirt
in the most approved manner, and
sailed serenely out.
The next call brought disaster. The
advertiser scanned the young lady
closely, asked a few questions, and
said II will let you try the place. The
salary Is four dollars"
The young lady rose instantly. 81

Quick as thought the well-gloved hand
shot out-straight lead with the left
and landed on his chin. His head was
thrown violently against the sharp
corner of the bookcase by which he
stood, cutting an ugly cash. He threw
out his hands awkwardly-the first
blow was followed instantly by one
from the right hand, reaching him on
the side of the body about two inches
above the waist. He dropped forward
falling savily to his knees. The
blows had been delivered straight
from the shoulder, with the whole
force of the body behind them.

GRAND DUKES GIFT RETURNED.
Mrs. Mamie L. Shaw Refuses Gems
from ROYAL Russian.

Mrs. Mamie Langhorne Shaw OF
Richmond, Va, has returned to Grand
Duke Michael of Russia diamond
studded brooch, valued at $500, sent
her by the Grand Duke soon after her
return with her mother from recent
tour of Europe.
From Mrs. T. Moncure Perkins OF
Richmond a sister of Mrs. Shaw, it
was learned that the latter met the
grand duke while in London, and that
there was a pleasant, though slight
acquaintance, as a reminder of which
no doubt the duke sent the token Of
his esteem.
No reason was given for the return
of the gift, but 1t is obvious that the
American beauty did not deem 1t
proper to accept presents Of such
value from so brief an acquaintance,
even though of such exalted rank.
Mrs. Shaw is the beautiful sister Of
Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, wife Of
the noted artist.

Is HERO OF BALAKLAVA.
George MckilIigan Passing His Day
in Delaware VILLAGE.


George McKilligan, one of the few
survivors Of that band OF men who
have gone down in history since the
battle of Balaklava as the thin red
line" is living quietly on a farm
near Viola, Del. There are several
still living who went to make up "the
Noble Six Hundred" but so far as Mr.
McKilligan knows he is the only one
remaining of the Ninety-third High
landers.
After the battle McKilligan was
made corporal, although he had
many times before refused to accept
promotion. He received three medals
the Crimean Clasp and Pin for Sc
bastapol and Alma, one from the Sui
tan of Turkey, and the third of the
Combined Armies OF the Crlmea.
Mr.. McKilligan came to America
twenty-three years ago and settled lr
Viola. Since then he has become a
naturalized citizen Of the United
States. 1t was this fact which pre-
vented him from accepting the pen
sion offered to all survivors OF the
siege forty years after the war had
ended. He is rs years old, and his
faculties are still good.

Mrs. Barnes put aside the letter she

fire with a troubled expression.
What is the matter, my dear"'
questioned Mr.. Barnes.
"Why, this letter Is from Cousin
Williams children-the twins, you
know. 1t seems that when property
matters were adjusted after Williams
death there was found to be almost
nothing remaining, only an annuity
for his wife, you know she has been
an invalid for years. Not anything
for the twins, and they are coming to
Boston to look for work | would
really like, Aaron, to invite them to
stay here until they secure positions"
Suit yourself, my dear, suit your
self. Only don't discourage them in
their attempts to find work; 1t will do
them good. They can find something,
even If 1t isn't quite to their liking.

aren't they?-ought to find employ
ment II they're not too proud to take
what they can get, until they can find
what they want Now. when first

many times to enjoy Its repetition, and
she hastily exclaimed: But, Aaron,

Mr.. Barnes, testlly-he wanted to re-
late his early Boston experiences
but you'd better keep the girl in the
house. Don't believe in girls going
out to work. What can a girl Of that
age do?"

DINNERS TO BUSINESS MEN.
Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by EMPLOYERS,

Heads Of Departments Remembered
in This Way by Employers.
Twenty years ago the president of
a big company, the owner of a big
business or industry, would as soon
have thought of asking his subordi-
nate beads Of departments to spend
the summer at his country home as
of giving them formal dinner once
or twice a year. Now the formal
dinner giving practice is so common
that u is almost taken for granted.
The Zig corporations Of the country
give aEnual dinners to heads of de.
partments which cost thousands of
dollars. Even mercantile firms, small
in comparison, are in the habit of
meeting their chief employees around
the dining board.
There are several reasons for this
interesting development. In the first
place, Americans are learning to en-
joy the formal dinner, with it's elab-
crate menu, its wine and its speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more
and more to realize how much of his
success is due to his heads of depart
ments Oftentimes he gives them an
interest in the concern or corporation,
and immediately they begin to work
for the concern as we'll as the COM
pany Anything that will bind them
closer to the employers interests Is
not overlooked, and a dinner once in
a While is one of these.
