"You can find amusing types in the
west end" remarked Dorothy In a
low voice. Here is one"
The young man who entered the
room was small, attenuated, precise
atom Of creature. Immediately
dressed and with rather shrill voice.
He answered to the name of the Hon.
Brendon, although he did not know of
the relationship. But Dorothy and
Train both knew and compared Vane's
physique disadvantageously with that

All the same he would not replace
him by George, who was a man In

'Mr Train-Mr. vane," said Doro-
thy introducing the two.
Nane stared and muttered something
about pleasure" Leonard caught no
other word. He then continued his
conversation with Miss Ward II
sneezed twice at the Merry Music hall
the other night
"That is where Veiez dances,' said
Leonard, determined to speak.
Vane stared again. and 1t was Doro-
thy who answered. "Aly mother went
to see her and says she is a most
extraordinary dancer
II saw your friend Brendon Mt the
hall, Miss Ward-the writing man, you
know said yane; "a fine looking chap,
but sulky."
THE best man in the world" said
Leonard, whereupon Dorothy gave him
an approving look. She wondered
what yane would say did he know
that the man he criticised SO freely
was his cousin And the legitimate heir
to the Darlington title.
"Well, he has his larks like every one
else. They say he is sweet on the
dancer"
"AIr. vane!" cried Dorothy, the blood
rushing to her face.
well, good people" cried Mrs.
Ward. entering the room at this very
opportune moment, "are you all here?
Mr.. yane, l am pleased Mr.. Train,
how good Of you to come! Ah," Mrs.
Ward sighed, you have your dear
mothers eyes, and lovely eyes they
were.'
Having slipped in this compliment
to put Leonard at his ease and throw
him or his guard, Mrs. Ward delivered
him to Dorothy and took Vane into
shady corner. Dinner will be ready
soon,' she said, tanning herself, al
though it was cold winters night.
II hope you are hungry, Mr.. Vane."
II was" admitted her guest, but /

nice fellow, really, very nice, with
money made out Of pigs or whisky
or something" said Mrs. Ward vague
ly, for she was not certain. ''What
did he sayY"
HE said nothing, but Miss Ward
did"
Mrs. Ward shrugged. "oh, well. you
know, Dorothy has such odd ideas
and all that sort of thing. 1 suppose 1t

although that was true enough-but
for the simple reason that she wished
to hear what he knew about the Anne
lin square tragedy. Brendon had told
her much, but it was probable that
Train, being weak idiot in the hands
of pretty woman like herself, would
tell her move. Mrs. Ward wished to
find some scandal smirching George,
that she might induce Dorothy to
break the engagement. She would
have utilized the tales about Lola and
Brendon. but she was not sure OF
her ground in this particular direction,
and. moreover, having seen the Span
ish dancer, feared lest so passionate a
woman should make an open scandal.
1t was the aim OF Mrs Wards life to
do wrong things and to avoid troubles
arising from them. Therefore she. for
the time seing, put Lola on the shelf
and arranged in her own scheming
mind to make use of Leonard.
When Leonard entered the drawing
room he was welcomed by Dorothy,
who told him that Mrs Ward would
be down shortly. cit is only small

Vane Is coming; no one else
II expected to find my friend Bren-
don here" said Leonard, thinking how
beautiful she looked
mo. Mr. Brendon is very busy at
the present time with his book. He
would have come otherwise"
Cali things should give way where
a lady is concerned" said Train gal
lantly.
Miss Ward laughed She had heard
much of Train from Brendon and
thought him kindly but foolish

that sort, Mr.. Train. have no de-
sire that man should neglect his
work for frivolity. You are a great
friend of Mr.. Brendon?"

And he was stopping with you In
the house where that tragedy took
place. He told me about it,
Train secretly wished that George
had held his tongue on this particu
lar point, as he had his own reasons
for not wishing to be questioned With
the very best intentions as to holding
his tongue, he knew his weakness for
babbling well enough and found it
easier to abstain from talking alto
gether than to be temperate in speech.
"Brendon certainly stopped with me"
he said reservedly, "but we were
sound asleep when the murder took
place. Neither Of rs heard anything.

THEATRICAL GOSSIP
FROM BUSY LONDON.

It seems after all that 1t is not abb
solutely certain that Coquelin will be-
able to produce Rostand's new play on
his return to London from South
America next fall. M. Rostand himself
thinks it highly probable that he will
find the work so bad that he will con-
sign it to the wastebasket or at least
pigeonhole it indefinitely. The author
of "Cyrano" long has been known as
about the most conscientious of drama
lists, but he has surpassed himself In
conscientiousness in constructing his
latest play.
This is, OF course, the remarkable bird
drama, "Chantecler," on which he has
been working for so long and which, Il
can be stated now, was inspired by the
old French fable "Reynard the Fox."
At first Rostand felt grave doubts a.
to whether play wherein all the char
acters were birds OF animals could be
made acceptable Then, however, it
occurred to him that Aristophanes had
a certain amount of success with SINH
lar material and reflected that, at any
rate, he had the advantage OF the class

effects at his command. So he set to

doesn't know about it. He thinks
that the work of imagination, like
bottle of wine, should be left to ma
ture. So he is going to put the piece
away in a drawer for at least three
months, trying meanwhile to forget all
about it, and hopes at the end of that
time to scan 1t with the critical eye OF
the spectator. And. as observed al
ready, he believes it quite within the
bounds of probability that he Will then
vote the whole thing absurd and con-

have to manage for at least a couple

Hurrah!'
Leonard Train made these remarks
over letter which had come by the
morning post. 1t was delicate per
fumed friendly note, begging dear Mr..
Train to come to dinner the next even

To account for Trains eXuberant joy,
which seemed out OF all proportion to
It's reason. it must be explained that,
Notwithstanding his money and what
he regarded as his talents, he had new
er managed to enter the fashionable
world AS he was as vain as pea
cock and anxious to shine and be adj
mired among people worth knowing,
this was II great grief to him. George
took him to several houses. but Leon

after one visit he was never asked
again, although he left cards assidu-
ously. The desire Of his life was to
be fashionable; hence his delight at

1t will be seen that Leonard was not
very faithful to his absent friend, but
the fact is that Train was less devoted
to Brendon than he had been. The ep-
isolde Of Amelia square made him fight
rather shy of George The story of the
marriage was shady. and in some way
Leonard couldn't exactly explain how
seemed to be connected with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Jersey. Moreover. Leon.
ard knew something which he had not
mentioned to Brendon and would not
have mentioned for the fashionable
world. However, he had said nothing
about Georges history and SO far had
kept faith. But Brendon saw that
Leonard was no longer SO pleased to
see him as formerly. He therefore
avoided the fat young man. and Leon
ard did not seem to mind the avoid

Leonard never intended to speak, be-
ing weak, but honorable in his own
foolish way. But when Mrs. Wards
invitation came he walked blindfolded
into trap set by thas clever little
woman. She asked Train to dinner,

LORD CURZON RESIGNS
The Earl of ldinto Is His Sue

India
WAS QUESTION OF PRINCIPLES
Lord curzon Resigned Because He
Realized That Conflicts were Ger
tain to Arise Between Commander
.in-chief of the Army, Lord kitch-
sner, and the Rest of Government of
India.

London, Aug. .M.-The resignation of
lord Curzon Of Kedleston as viceroy
u India and the appointment of the
0rl Of Mimic as his successor, was an
bounced at the India office last night.
According to the correspondence
which Is issued in the form of white
sook, it appears, that Lord Curzon's
resignation was cabled to that office
M Aug. IL. The correspondence shows
! decidedly bitter feeling between
lord Curzon the India office and
Lord Kitchener, commander in chief of
The forces in India over the new plan
Z II army administration in India. Lord
SCurzon's dissatisfaction came to head
with the refusal of the cabinet to APP
point Maj. Gen. Sir Edmund Barrow,
on Lord Cur:son's recommendation.
military supply member OF the council.
Replying on August 2 to the refusal
4 f Mr.. Brodericlk, secretary Of state for
India, to make this appointment, Lord
Curzon requests, that the government
reconsider its decision in order to en-
lble me to accept the responsibility
which infer his 1najesty's govern
nent still desires me to assume"
Mr.. Broderick again refused to COM
ply with the request for the appoints
ment Of Major General Barrow and
Lord Curzon replied as follows:
ut is apparent that his majesty 8

which alone can enable me to serve
hem and attach q fundamentally diff

Of which alone consented to remain
In office The situation, therefore, re-
mains where 1t was when resigned in
tune. IL the government is unable to
accept my views request the premier
to place my resignation in the hands
of his majesty
TO this Mr. Broderick replied that
this was a request from, Mr. Balfour
that Lord Curz;on reconsider his deter
mination. In II final dispatch, towev-
VI, dated Aug. IL, Lord Curzon says.
Question Of Principles.
"The main question is not the choice

pies underlying future change in our

IN to the conclusion that the policy OF

liously carry into execution.In the inter-
ests OF the new organization it is de-
sirable that I should be relieved of my

To this Mr. Balfour himself replied
that he had with the most profound
regret, submitted Lord Curzon's resig.
