they couldn't be pleasant thoughts"
He pulls the blind aside and looks
at the house opposite, wondering
which is her window, and as he does
so, the lovers heart-hunger for sight
of his mistress assails him.
1t has still strong possession of him
when he goes down the stairs and into
the street; burt he fights against it.
The best thing he can do is not to see
Leslie Lisle; but to drive V1nson'
horses back to Northcliffe, and take
the train from there to London AMI
stop there till, in round Of the folly
which has suddenly grown so sense
less and worthless in his eyes, he has
dulled the pain of this, his first real
love-
TITS early, burt Portmaris is alive
and very much in evidence. The fisher
men are out on the beach; the women
are bustling in and out their doors;
the children are playing in the road
way, some with a huge slice of bread
AMI butter or treacle in their fists.
Breakfast is evidently a movable
feast with the entire population

he said, was the kings hawker, and
saved the life of Her Majesty's ia
vorite hawk, which was in a desperate
struggle with a gull, by cleverIy p1erc-
ing the gull with an arrow without
injuring the hawk. He further fiat
tered his client by referring him to
the poem, of The Ancient Mariner,
and limiting that there was some evil
dence to show that it was one OF his
ancestors who "shot the bird" for
revenge upon pirate crew which had
captured him while in the execution
OF his duty to his king against their
nefarious trade. The professor
victim believed this story implicitly
and died happy in his belief.
Scores of such instances have been
recorded, many of them even more
glaringly ridiculous. There is one
feature of heraldry, ancient and
modern, which has bearing, not al
ways noticed, on present-day tenden
cies. The fact that so many genuine
armorial bearings are represented by
puns or by playing upon the family
name in design, renders the bust
ness of taking" in neralRry very
easy. and lends to it plausfbility
which often hoodwinks even the not
over-creduolus.
Many of the best families of today
those of whose right to armorial bear
ings there can be no question-have

New York, Nov. 14.-"Yes," said a
new-made millionaire, who has a sense
of humor, Il find on figuring it up that
have paid for establishing my pedi-
gree about $500 a head; and some of
the old chaps we unearthed weren't
much to brag about, either. The
'searchers on the other side charged
me five pounds every time they con-
suited parish register, and good
many consultations were found to be
necessary. 1 paid some pretty stiff
bills, l can tell you; but, of course,
it's a pleasure now to know who
really am, and my wife enjoys the
use of my new coat-of-arms."
Perhaps nowhere in the world-not
even in Philadelphia-is the heraldry
hunt keener than in New York. An
authority said not long ago that there
are only 40. or so American families
that are in any way entlued to the
insignia of nobility, but you cannot
get the average American who has
made money his ancestors he shall

might have repeated Juliet's, finding a
torturing JOY in it's music.
"No, there is no hope, Yorke, my
boy. You are badly hit. You've
laughed at this kind of thing often
enough; but your time has come and
as there is no hope for you, you have
got to bear it. The best thing yon
can do is to clear out in the morning,
and blot Portmaris out of the map OF
England. l mustn't see her again
never again." And his nature pro
tests against this resolve, and his
heart aches badly-very badly; but he
squares his shoulders and sets his
teeth hard. eyes, that's the only
thing to do, curt and run. There's
one comfort-she won't mind-she
won't miss me. God knows what 1
said when 1 felt her face against my
breast; but whatever it was, I've Of
Tended her past forgiveness. She
wouldn't see me again, l dare say, il

He heaves a sign, which is very
much like a groan, and turns home
ward.
He finds Grey alone in the room
when he enters; the dinner things are
still on the table, and the man looks
at him with rather a grave and
startled expression.

from this city. The route this extern
has been a subject of much speculation,
and Mr.. Ellsworth 8 statements are nat
urally Of much interest thruout north
ern and northeastern Iowa.
Mr.. Ellsworth said, in substance, that
it had long been the company IS desire to
build north from here, its present north
ern terminus, in order to secure a con-
kets at Minneapolis and ST.. Paul. He
further stated that corps Of engineers
would be sent out at once, and that
three preliminary lines would be run
that would each be separate and dis
tinct. Each line will then be carefully
estimated and the cost of construction
ascertained. The amount Of probable
business on each line will be- carefully
calculated and the local assistance Of
fered along each route will also be tax
en- into account in determining the
In each case the proposed lines will
bring the Short Line in close connec-
ton with other well-known roads, with
which utilization will be effected in
making the shortest route by fifty miles
between Minneapolis and st. Paul and
Kansas City via Des Moines.
The indications now, are that the
company will take up, the matter Of
extension, which has been delayed for
several months, and that as soon as the
route can be determined the contracts
for construction will be let. President
Ellsworth is giving the matter his I'M
divided attention and is very, enthusiasts
to getting the construction work under
way as soon as possible this spring.
