Charles Livingston, of Puritan an.
cestry and New England training and
rigid business habits and principles
found himself in New Orleans in mid
winter on a mission for his house
He was partner in the house, al
though barely thirty, and his head
was considered not less cool nor his
judgment less steady and conserva-
tive than that of his gray-haired asso.
ciates.
AS to his character and habits
but why speak of that? He had been
model youth, as he now was esteem
ed model man. BY this it is not
meant to suggest that he was goody-
goody, or anything of that sort. He
was a strong, robust, healthy, normal
fellow, who had been born of good
stock, with good principles, had been
well brought up and respected him
self and the precepts of his parents
At college he had gone in for ath-
letics, but not for dissipation. When
he graduated he took up the serious
business of life and, of course, found
ready opportunity, of which he avail
ed himself to the uttermost So at
thirty he was well established for
life so far as business was concerned,
and was we'll along on the road to
being rich man. He was not mar
ried, never having found time to in
dulge in social pleasures, nor to cul-
tivate the very considerable streak
of romance which ran through his
nature.
Through no fault of his the bust
ness he had in hand at New Orleans
dragged fearfully, and he was de-
tanned there much longer than had
been anticipated. But it was of suf-
ficient importance to demand his pres.
ence. So he found much leisure on
his hands and gave more time to
sight seeing and pleasure than he
ever had done before. He enjoyed
especially to go away from haunts of
trade and plunge into the old historic
section Of the city, letting his imag
ination run riot with the old houses
and filling his mind with pictures of
what might have happened in bygone
days.

sights, tired of the theater and other
forms of pastime and was beginning
to chafe at his enfol ced stay, when
he overheard a conversation one day
which put a strange idea into his
head For you know Satan finds mis-
chief still for idle hands to do
He was at the old absinthe place,
slipping a glass of the stuff, against
which there are so many warnings,
and wondering how anybody could be-
come addicted to it's habitual use,
when two young fellows at the next
table started in to discuss a fancy
dress ball, to be given that night
They talked SO loudly that he was
an involuntary listener. Without be-
ing at all interested he learned that
the ball was public, that it was to be

and in trice was a part of the gay
and brilliant throng.
For an hour it made him fairly
dizzy. The masking of the women
seemed to make them more au.
dacious in the display of their
charms and Livingston marveled
greatly at the ingenuity with which
they had contrived to adopt costumes
SO as to suggest to the full the grace.
full and alluring lines of their figures.
Some of the skirts were so high and
necks so low as to make the mask
the most considerable article of ap-
parel.
1t was all very new and very in
teresting to the northern business
man, with his strict training and cor
rect life and he was deeply interested.
He was leaning against pillar watch
ing the Kaleidoscope panorama,
when a tall and graceful figure, in a
most alluring domino of purple silk
of the richest texture, paused before
him and said:
why standest thou all the night in
moody contemplation, oh, most SOM
bre Knight"
Startled, Livingston Strengthened
himself and glanced at his questioner.
Her raven hair was caught up with
costly jewels, her costume bespoke
a generous purse; her domino chung
about the lines of a figure of singular
perfection; her slippered feet and
daintily gloved hands bespoke the
aristocrat. Still, who knows?"
thought Livingston. Summoning his
wits he replied
"A stranger in a strange land |
must be content to gaze from afar
upon the promised land"
There are no strangers here to.

He stepped forward and without a

in a whirl and his heart humping.
She spoke softly in the very voice
of love and glancing down at her
mask he saw the CLEAN of flashing
eyes, and was filled with strange and
powerful emotions They passed a
door within which were palms and
flowers and rustic seats.
Let us go in and sit down" he
said abruptly and turned back.
She acquiesced with silvery
laugh.

DEFECTS IN RUSSIAN VESSELS
Errors Contributed Greatly to Toao's
Decisive Victory,

A French naval officer mas been at.
tempting to explain the collapse OF
some OF the Russian line of battle
ships in the fight In the Sea of ia
pan. He said that, from their design.
n number of ships had only a moder-
etc degree of stability. They were
top-heavy and some of them rolled
so much on the voyage out that the
officers were afraid they would turn
turtle. When a large amount OF coal
was taken on board, some even be-
ing carried on deck, the vessels were
submerged to well below their ordi-
nary water line and as a result the
ships were crank and their water line
armament in some cases submerged.
This deep loading caused the vessels
to roll, and, in the opinion of the
French expert. holes made by the
shells from the Japanese feet were
thus frequently under water, which,
with the vessels In ordinary trim,
would not have been the case. AS the
fire of the Japanese was naturally
directed at the bows of the approach
ing Russian ships their forward COM
partments filed first and the ships
went down by the head and capsized.

WHITE LOVED BROOKLYN MAID.
Russian Peace Envoy Lost His Heart
to Little Miss BaWo.

News has reached Brooklyn that NJ.
White, the Russian peace envoy, whose
triumph at Portsmouth did much to
redeem the cars prestige, lost his
heart on the trip across the Atlantic
to very fair little daughter of Brook
Ign, according to the New York World
NJ White sailed some weeks ago on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among his fellow
passengers were Carl Bawo of PA Sth
avenue, Brooklyn, and Mr.. Bawos fam
lily. The youngest of this family was
Miss Aneita Bawo, a pretty brown
eyed girl of summers, and it was
with Miss Aneita that the big Russian
diplomat fell in love.
He began to pay attention to the
wee Brooklynite Immediately after the
ship left the Narrows, and one of the
sights that amused the passengers was
the big bearded representative of the
car and the tiny maiden from Brook
Ign romping up and down the deck.
The delights of the smoking room had
no charm for M. White while Miss
Aneita was out of her berth.

Wealthy But MoneyIess Duke.

Though enormously rich, the duke
of Westminster never by any chance
has money in his pocket. The other
day he went to London to make some
purchases, leaving behind the man
servant who attends to his small dis
bursements He met an intimate but
impecunious friend and the two spent
the day in a hanson cab. Before
starting for home the duke borrowed
couple Of sovereigns from his friend
and then forgot all about it. In a day
or two he received a reminder in the
shape of a bill written thus: For
the privilege of riding in a hanson
with duke, e." His grace prompt
ly mailed a check.

Comes to Live in America.

Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, chief OPP
ponent of President Palma and now
practically an exile from Cuba, hav-
ing taken up his residence in this
country, is a short, rather stout,
swarthy man with quiet face and
contemplative eye. Before coming to
the United States he was governor of
Santa Clara province He holds that
annexation of this country would be
preferable to the Palma dynasty. Gen.
Gomez is a soldier with an enviable
record, a shrewd politician, a Cuban
by birth and possessed of long heri.
tage of enmity toward Spain.

CHRISTIANITY IN THE SOUDAN.
Labors of Missionaries Have Much
Prospect of Success.

The work of introducing the benefi-
cent influence of Christianity into the
Soudan is the more likely to be sue
cessful because it has not been done
in hurry. Missionary societies have
frequently been blamed-in some in
stances justly blamed-for frittering
away their energies in regions which
were not yet ripe for their ministra-
lions. This cannot be said Of the mis-
sionary enterprise in the Soudan, OF
which the first announcement is made
this week The country has for years
been enjoying the blessings of peace
and good government. 1t has subsid-
ed into that settled condition which
is most favorable to missionary work,
and the lack of which, as Dr. Living
stone knew in his bitter experience,
prevents the fruition Of the most ar
duous labor. Not only the time for
beginning the mission, but the region
in which it will be carried out, has
been chosen by Lord Cromer; and
the public will look upon this able
administrators association with the
enterprise as the best guarantee that
it will be conducted with wisdom, dis
erection and success.-Weekly Scots

TAKES HoNoRED KINGLY NAME.
Choice of Prince Charles of Denmark
Pleases NorWeqians.

Pleases NorWeeans.
The choice by Prince Charles of
Denmark of the name Haakon VIII,
under which to reign over Norway,
appeals strongly to the nations pa
trlotlsm. Norwesans as a result are
reviewing the history of period that
takes them back over $50 years, when
Haakon VII son Of Magnus VII of
Sweden, succeeded his father, and
with the Princess Margaret, his wife,
daughter of King Valdemar of Dem
mark, reigned over Norway for thir-
ty-seven years, displaying a splendor
which richer and more extensive
Kingdoms could not afford.
King Haakon VIII and his queen
will rule the most thinly populated
country In Europe. Little of the style
of that last King Haakon will be at
tempted, no doubt, but Norway ex-
poets the new king to secure for them
an honorable and honored station
among the nations of the earth.

Hateful History of Rug.

It is stated on the authority of
London magazine that the czarina,
fearing the baleful influence of a his
toric rug sent by the sultan of Turkey
as a gift to the imperial parents on the
occasion of the infants birth, has sent
the young heir to the throne to place
OF hiding known only to herself and
the car. The rug sent by the sultan
is said to be one known as the Blood
stained Rug of the Tenth Century,"
which was taken from the walls of a
Moorish palace in the twelfth century,
when it was pronounced bewitched.
1t next appeared in Rome in the four
teenth century, but was banished from
an Italian palace because of its uncan-
ny influence and was moved from
place to place during the next 100
years, leaving death and destruction
in it's wake. 1t was lost during the
sixteenth century, reappearing in the
palace of the sultan at the beginning
of the eighteenth, where it remained
until sent to st. Petersburg, where it
arrived at the beginning Of the war
with Japan,

THE LOVERS ROSARY
Parting of the Ways - A Memory of Boyhood.

AS sea bird from the ocean,
You fiuttered to his side.
He raised you with devotion
And tanned your girlish pride.
A CLEAN OF sunshine straying
Across his wintry life,
A snatch of song allaying
The soul that sighed for strife.
But time. who SCOTS at lovers.
Gave them a little grace,
The while shy Spring uncovers
Her flushed, wet. amorous face.
Your rose leaf face was fairer
Than foam from wind swept spray,
Your beauty's rich and rarer,
Than harbinger of May.
Love brought them as n token
The trophies of the fray.
A boyisn heart was broken
And bruised, and cast away,
He found you blithe. capricious.
Your hair as fair as foam,
Wild. candid. and delicious.
A sea bird keen to roam.
Times up for love and laughter.
Soft VOWS and bridal bliss,
Remorse must follow after.
And chill sweet Clinging kiss
You were the dainticst creature
That Ger the Sun caressed,
AS fair as foam each feature
But tickle like the rest.
Farewell, the dream has vanished
AS mist melts i'm the sun,
Fond boyish hopes are banished,
Those golden days are done.
They've had their share of pleasure,
They've drained the sweets of life
Joy gave them heapng treasure,
OF Loves keen lustv light

Gray eyes so archly tender,

Gray eyes SO archly tender,
Our homage must We render
And pay our title to you.
On Allen strand we wander,
Stung by desire to roam.
Our health and wealth we suuander
And sadly dream of home.
Gray eyes whose depths are deeper
Than any bubbling spring
That cools the thirsty reaper
Where moss and ivy cling;
Dear eyes with rapture cleaning,
Flushed with shy, pure disdain
Charged with sweet girlish dreaming,
AS starshine drenched in rain.
How fast the time went flying,
How swiftly sped the hours.
Scant shrift for lovers signing
Brief space to garner flowers.
The first mad boyish passion
Has tanned it's fierce delight,
We loved in frantic fashion,
And part in foolish spite.
Your song was low and sweeter
Than birds that sigh for rain,
Or music's mournful meter,
Or Swinburne's sumptuous strain.
You dawned on the beholder
Like sunshine mid the gloom,
When wintry blasts sting colder,
Lamenting summers DOOM
You came and all was gladness.
Your step was like the fawn,
Your buoyance had the sadness,
The chaste delight of dawn
You frolicked through the Maytime
AS dream of pure delight.
Youths golden hours for playtime,
Like supple fawn in flight.
