guished person, and when their vlc- tim is most swollen-lilSe human bag-with gratified vanity and sense of his own importance, they un- ostentatiOusly produce the necessary pin, and what is left of him when they have done with him is scarcely worth the trouble of sweeping up, not to say of interment.
 With the Ishmaelites the heir ap- parent had always been a prime favor ite. Whatever their faults may be, they are at least not fiunkeys, and his popularity with them is in no sense at tributable to his exalted position, but to their regard for him as a man. If there is one man in all England who may be pardoned for allowing flat terer to get the blind side of him, 1t is surely he whose every wish or whim it is the business of those about him to humor. Yet if there is one man in England who is absolutely in- accessible to flattery, it is the genial. generous, but keen-eyed prince. This the Ishmaelites know we'll, and they love him for 1t, just as they hail him prince of good fellows, and the best and most honest hater of sham and humbug in the country.
 Hence the dinner which was being given In his honor was the most bril- liant and at the same time the heart jest function that the club house has ever witnessed. Brains, pluck and good-fellowship- are what the Ishmaelites most delight to honor; but being a British club, they put bravery before even brains, and at the high table that night sat wearers of the Victoria cross, leaders of forlorn hopes, admirals who had saved life as well as fought the enemy at sea, ex- plorers, travellers and soldiers who with handful of men had held an impossible position or not hesitated to face a thrice outnumbering foe.
 Everything had gone without hitch, and there was no denying that the function was magnificent success. The prince, still pale from his recent illness, was, 1t was easy to see, both touched and gratified by the genuinely enthusiastic and affectionate greeting which had been accorded to him; and never had he looked more thoroughly at home than when hobnobbing with the Eshmaelites.
 Dinner being finished, and the per- mission, Brother Ishmaelites, you may smoke'- having, gone forth and been received with the customary yell. the chairman rose in his place to make the speech of the evening, by proposing the princes health. An other yell greeted the placing of the ten-minute bell before him, and yet another the setting of the machinery in motion. Then he. began his speech. Nothing of the sort could have been happier, for there was not false note throughout. He claimed for the prince,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-02

only that Illustrious personage's due: and yet he referred so sympath etically to his illness and paid so graceful 8 tribute to his qualities as a man, a sportsman and good fellow, that the Ishmaelites interrupted him again and again with ringing cheers.
 The announcement-the unexpected announcement-that the prince had that evening expressed his wish to be- come a member of the club and a Brother Ishmaelite, brought the en- thusiasm to the eliminating point; but the welcome words had scarcely passed the chairman's lips before the first stroke of the ten-minute gong was heard, and at the sound he held up the customary silencing hand and dropped back into his chair.
 The rule of the club is that when the gong strikes, the speaker, who- ever he may be, at once resumes his seat. and every one sits in silence un- til the ten strokes have sounded, when members are at liberty to give express sion to their feelings, 8 privilege Of which they avail themselves by yell- ing, bowling and hurling epithets, and even match boxes, cigar-ends, or any thing else which may be handy, at the offender who has transgressed their time-honored ten-minutes rule.
 Hence when Lord Cranthorpe relapsed into his seat there was 6 sudden hush while the members waited dutifully for the ten strokes to sound. Half dozen seconds had not throbbed away before the Ishmael- ties became aware that something out of the ordinary-but what they did not know-was happening. There was f1utter of repressed excitement. Then some one called out 'Hush!" and the silence became electric. What was that sprinkling of bird-song music that percolated the smoke-hung atmos- phere as if fairy hands were fiinging the largest of tiny wafer-like silver coins for all to gather? "Hush!" some one said impatiently again. Expecta tion stood on tiptoe, as every ear was strained and every face became alert and expectant.
 Note by note the thin thread of nlu- sic rippled out. It was recognized, and a tremendous cheer set rattling In0 LIOpAlGS Ou FCA6 W6lA eS LAS CudlI- man rose and with a wave of his hand above his head took up the strain. Tn another second every man was on his feet, and "God Bless the Prince of Wales" was being sung as it had never been sung before.
 With heart and voice awaken Those minstrel strains of yore, Till Britains name and glory Resound from shore to shore. From all our ancient mountains,
 And from our lovely wales, Oi let the prayer re-echo-- God bless the prince of Walesye

Two announced that the next meeting of the council would be held in the same place, and at four o'clock in the afternoon of the day following the pro- posed outrage at the Ishmael club
 "T hope on that occasion" he said, genially, that we shall be in posi- tion to offer Councillor lubbock our heartfelt congratulations at having succeeded in blowing his royal high ness, the prince of Wales, and the Right Honorable Lord Cranthorpe, M P, to blazes."
 With which humane sentiment the meeting broke up.
 CHAPTER XXI.
 THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THE
 AISEIMAEL CLUB.
 It was the night of the Ishmael club dinner to the prince of Wales, and though the rule by which members are permitted to introduce guests had on this occasion been suspended, the mus ter of Ishmaelites in their handsome trophy-hung dining room was so great that even director of the London, Chatham & Dover Railroad company would have acknowledged that for once in his life he had met with a genuine case of overcrowding. So democratic gathering notwithstanding the fact that the future king of England and emperor of India sat in the midst is not often to be seen At the Ish- mael, brains and good fellowship" are counted greater righteousness than coin" or a coronet. Within it's walls all men are equal. To a good fellow, the right hand of fellowship is readily extended. The stick" will find him. self as readily cold-shouldered, and the assumer of side" may think him. self lucky if he be allowed to depart unbaited. To see the Ishmaelites trail" a sufferer from "swelled head' IS to undergo inoculation against that fell malady. The author who has sud- denly found public and as suddenly lost himself, or the moneyed nobody, who has made a successful bid for a baronetage by placing his thousands at the disposal of his political party, would do we'll to air his new honors elsewhere than at the IshmaeI. When such man is known to be in the house, the word goes round, and to him these trusting children of na- ture come to be instructed in the SC. cret of his greatness. They sit at his feet and drink in his words of wisdom as if hoping thereby one day to follow -be 1t ever so humbly-in his foot steps. They ask him artless questions about himself, and when he conde- scends to gratify their very natural desire to be informed upon so inter- esting a subject. they tell each other audibly what great man he is, or sit listening with unconcealed wonder and admiration in their eyes. They beg to be allowed to present to him this or that friend or member who will es- teem it . privilege to know so distin-

Judge and Mrs. Parker to Visit
 -vS~71a-- Fair.
 ESOPUS, IN. Y., Aug. 2.--Judge Par ker's invitation to former Secretary of State Richard Olney of Massachusetts to visit Rosemount has been accepted, and MT. Olney is expected within a fortnight and possibly before the noti- fication ceremonies on Aug. 10. Thurs day has been fixed for the visit of Ed ward c. Wall of Wisconsin and Mrs. Wall. They are en route to Europe.
 It is understood here that former President Grover Cleveland has been invited to spend a day at Rosemount on his way home from New Hamp- shire, where he is spending the sum- mer.
 Judge and Mrs. Alton B. Parker have accepted the invitation of Norman D. Mack to be his guests on New York day at the St. Louis exposition Octo- ber A.
 Senator F. H, McCarren, the rank ing member of the New York state Democratic executive committee, against whom q fight is being waged for the chairmanship, will probably call on Judge Parker before the close of the week.

our distinguished patronage as the placards put it, and to have our best wishes for his success. Anyhow, there's his programme, and as discus sion is freely invited, I hope any of you who have anything to say will speak up.'
 "It's very clever little arrange ment," said Councillor Number Six, land what says is, here's my re- spects and best wishes to MT. Hub book, hoping as he'll go ahead and scoop the trick. What do my other two honorable colleagues say?"
 We say ditto, too," answered, speaking for myself and for ''the si- lent councillor to use the name by which I had dubbed the remaining member. But if Mir lubbock and the chief will pardon mo for saying so. there's difficulty ahead which it won't do to overlook
 Whats that?" asked Number Two.
 ''This. Isn't it very likely after lubbock has changed the gongs, that some member of the executive, of the Ishmael will want to test the mechan- ism, if only to see that 1t is in work ing order? III that case the explosive would be a bit previous. We have no quarrel, I take it, with the members of the Ishmael club as Ishmaelites. Tn fact, I'm not sure that the mem- bers of this council are not exception ally qualified for membership of club so-called. and, indeed, it occurred to me while the chief was speaking, that the Ishmael club would be a very suitable name for the particular fra ternity of which we who are present in this room have the honor of being members"
 You are quite right, my friend" said Number Two, with a laugh. ''Hubbock and I both recognized that that would be ticklish point. But Hubbock's idea is not to change the gongs until the last moment, when the table is laid and ready for the dinner. The Ishmael is very free and easy place, and lubbock is so well known there that he anticipates no difficulty in finding some excuse to effect the change. I think we may be content to leave 1t in his hands, sincs he is willing to undertake all respon- sibility..
 No one demurring to this. Number

The seeretarys little unrehearsed effect was huge success. Perhaps the princes illness had left him somewhat weak and shaky, for as the hymn con- cluded with the most deafening Three times three,' and yet again Three times three," that ever left human ears buzzing and human hearts thump- ing, the kindly eyes of that right royal prince of good fellows were suspicious ly bright, and when in a few manly words he thanked his brother Ish- maelites' for the greeting that had been accorded to him, there was just the ghost of tremble in the voice that is generally so firm and strong.

sWelI, lubbock has contrfved- virtue of his old connection with the Club-to get engaged as an assistant chef for the occasion, and he also man aged to get q peep at the address on the box that contained the gong, when 1t was sent off to Switzerland to have the inside mechanism taken out and replaced by musical box. The ad- dress was that of well-known instru- ment maker in Geneva to whom Hub book has since paid a visit, Need tell you why? It was to get a dupli- cate gong made--a duplicate, that is to say, 80 far as the outside is concerned, But it isn't a duplicate inside, for in etead of the musical box, lubbock is getting an internal machine made from 2 newly discovered explosive. It is an explosive so death-dealing and terrible that even the small quantity that can be packed away inside the gong will be sufficient to kill every one in it's immediate vicinity, and, in fact, it is more than probable that it will kill every one in the room. Anyhow, the chairman, our old enemy Lord Gran thorpe, and the prince, who as the guest of the evening will sit on his wight, will be as good as dead men. %he joke of it is that 1t will be Lord cranthorpe himself, who, by winding esS the gong-according to the regula- ttous of the club-when he gets upon Bis legs, will with his own hand put Ento motion the machinery which will Ezve him and his guest, the prince, szs we'll as a good many of the mem bers, bare ten minutes more of life. The secretary is no doubt chuckling to himself to think of the stir that his own ingenuity in preparing so pretty a little surprise is likely to make. l think that the surprise which we are preparing for his royal highness, as we'll as for his lordship and the other members of the club, is likely to make a bigger stir. That, however, we can discuss when the things fait sccompli I'm getting shy of counting my chick ems before they're matched, since that miserable jubilee fiasco. All the same, < think Hubbock's idea for adding to Inc evenings entertainment is very curious, and as he is willing and. in fact, anxious to undertake the busi- ness, [ think that he should be al- lowed to consider his scheme as under
