At the leave taking he heard a few
words which gave him a delightful
assurance of coming satisfaction. For
as the two girls stood in the hall,
Arenta said:
"You will come over in the morn

II cannot" answered Cornelia.

And George, hearing these words,
could hardly control his delight. For
he was one of Mrs. Adams favorites,
and SO much at home in her house
that he could visit her at any hour OF
the day without a ceremonious invita-.
ton.
He took a merry leave Of Arenta,
and went directly to his rooms. "Tis
my destiny! IT'S my happy destiny
to love her!" he said softly to himself,

in love / am" he continued. Il shall
say to her, Help me, madame, to an

Joris Hyde allowed the sweet emo
tons Cornelia had inspired to have
and to hold, and to occupy his whole
being. Sleep was a thousand leagues
away, and he flung open the easement
and sat in a beatitude It blissful
hopes and imaginations.
And after midnight, when dreams
fall, the moon came up over Nassau
and Cedar streets and threw poetic
glamors over the antique churches, and
grassy grayeyards, and the pretty
houses. covered with vines and
budding rosebushes; and this soft
shadow of light Gained and charmed
him.

In an East End police court the
other day a curious case of assault
was heard. A youngster, it appears,
was sent by his father to have his
hair cut. The barber, according to
the father, ran a pair of clippers all
over the boys head except in front,
where he left an enormous fringe;
to mark his d~ispleasure the father
gave the barber a sound thrashing.
1t is, however. not only in the East
End that BARRIERS show a great ig-
norance of their trade. In New York
or Paris it is the easiest thing pos
sible o a man to have his hair cut
properly. In London it is hardly too
much to say that there are only half
a dozen places where a barber knows
his business. The average barber has
only n method of cutting hair,
which he invariably carries out, ir-
respective altogether Of the wishes of
his customers.

dresser were to open a dozen shops
in different parts of London he would
rapidly make his fortune, provided, of
course, he employed the right sort

Thinks He Owes Life to Charm.

Grand Duke Cyril Of Russia, it is
said, attributes his escape from the
blOwing-up of the Petropavlovsk to
the miraculous powers of a charm
which was given him shortly before
the disaster. Five years ago a lieu
tenant Of marines named Cube visited
the church in which are preserved
the relics of ST. Barbe and was given
a silver ring which had touched the
relics. He was told never to part
with the ring, as it would bring him
good luck. When the war broke out
the lieutenant was made ~aid-de-camp
to Grand Duke Cyril and on Easter
day, wishing to give his chief a pres
ent, he could think Of nothing better
than the ring. The grand duke OBJ
jected that he ought not to part with
his charm, but the lieutenant in
sisted, and SO the grand duke accept
ed the gift. Soon a%fterward, when
they were both on board the Petro-
pavlovsk, the ship blew up and the
lieutenant was killed, but the grand
duke escaped.

CHAPTER v.
TURNING Over a New Leaf.

When Hyde awakened, he was in
hat borderland between dreams and
day which we call dawn. The noises
finally woke him thoroughly. II am
more alive than ever I was in my life"
he said; and he laughed gayly, and
went to the window. "It is a lovely
day; and that is SO much in my
favor" he added, "for if it were rain
ing, Cornelia would not leave the
house."
Then he fell into reverie about his
proposed visit to Mrs. Adams. Last
night it appeared to him al easy and
natural thing to do. He was not
so sure of his position this morning.
But there are times when laissez-
aller carries before it, and Hyde was
in just such a. mood. "Ill run the
chance" he said. "Ill risk 1t. I'll
let things take their course" And
after all. when a man is in love, to be
reasonable is often to be cowardly.
When he was dressed he went to
his hotel and breakfasted there.
Early as it was, there were many
members and senators present-eat-
ing, drinking coffee and disputing.
Hyde took no notice of any of these
disputes until a man-evidently an
Englishman-called Franklin "a beg
gar-on-horseback-Y Yankee" Then he
looked steadily at the speaker, say
ing with the utmost GOODNESS and
frmness:
"You are mistaken, sir. The beg
gar-on-horseback Is generally suppos-
ed to ride to the devil. Franklin
rode to the highest posts Of political
honor and the esteem and affection Of
worthy men in all the civilized
world"
With these words he rose, pushed
aside his chair with q little temper,
and. turning, met Jefferson face to
face. The great man smiled. and put
his hand atfectionately on. Hyde's
shoulder.
"You spoke we'll. my young friend.
Now, l will give you a piece Of advice
when any n abuses q great man
In your presence, ask them what
kind OF people they admire. You will
certainly be consoled."
Hyde. casting his eyes q moment
on this tall, looselimbed man, whose
cold blue eyes and red hair emphar
sized the stern anger of his whole
appearance, was well disposed to
leave the scurrilous E%nglishman to
his power of reproof.
Riding hard, it was quite half-past
nine when he drew rein at the door
OF Richmond Hill. Thus far. he had
suffered himself to be carried for
ward by the impulse Of his heart,
and he still put firmly down any won
DEL as to what he should say or do.
He was shown into a bright little
parlor with open windows. A table,
elegantly and plentifully spread. oc-
cupied the center Of the room: and
sitting az 1t were the vice president
and Mrs. Adams and also their. only
daughter, the beautiful. but not very
intellectual, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Adams
met him with genuine. though for
NAL kindness; Mrs. Smith with court
esy. and the vice president rose.
bowed handsomely, hoped he VA
well. and then after . minutes r.

BRAVERY, AND TRUE COURAGE.

Japanese Sure He Would Be Killed,
But Didn't Mind. +
The little lieutenant who lived just
across the street from 0. X. Davis, the
New York Suns war correspondent in
Tientsin, said to him one day:
II should be very happy to have you
visit me in my home in Japan after
this val is over. but I expect to be
killed."
He was perfectly sincere and unaf.
fected. His belief did not alter his at
tention to duty in the slightest. He
went wherever he was ordered as gay
" as II 1t were to a feast, no matter
! II the field was swept with bullets.
When l saw him in Picking q day or
SO after the legations had been re-
lieved he said simply: Perhaps I
shall not be killed this time after all"
Would you call it courage when
such a man as that leads 4 little col
umn against a stone wall, and when
he cant get over at first, sits down
and waits until he can? He hasn't
any conception of courage. He Is
brave. but with the bravery Of q bull
dog.
There is more real courage In the
old hen %futtering over her little chick

Ones Narrow Escape.
Eyes, indeed, we have some queer
little incidents happen to u.s." said
the fat engineer. Queer things hap
pened to me about a year ago.. You'd
think it queer for a rough man like
me to cry for ten minutes, and no.

time l think of it.
Il was running along one afternoon
pretty lively when l approached a lit.
tie village where the track cuts
through the streets. l Stacked up a
little, but vas still making good
speed, when suddenly, about twenty
rods ahead of me, a little girl not
more than 3 years old toddled onto
the track. You can't even imagine
my feelings. There was no way to
save her. 1t was impossible to stop,
or even slack much, at that distance,
as the train was heavy and the grade
descending. In ten seconds it would
have been all over; and after revers-
ing n applying the brake, l shut my
eyes. l didn't want to see any more.
IA we slowed down my fireman
stuck his head out of the cab window
to see what I'd stopped for, when he
laughed and shouted at me: Jim,
look here!' I looked, and there was
a big black Newfoundland dog hold
ing the little girl in his mouth, leis-
urely walking toward the house
where she evidently belonged. She
was kicking and crying, SO that l
knew she wasn't hurt, and the dog
had saved her. My fireman thought
it funny, and kept laughing, but l
cried like a woman. l just couldn't
help it. l had a little girl of my own
