vigorougly, almost savagely, at his
cigar.
Dick evidently does not care to pro-
long the conversation on the subject
of mines in general, and the one Miss
Pauline controls in particular.

YES, but | don't want to drag you

THAT settles five go to Old Mex

ested in that country. The very
name sends thrill through my frame.
It's a land of romance, too, of tropi-
cal beauty. I've heard mandolins
played and love songs trilled in the
soft moonlight there, with scent of
flowers in the air that intoxicates
one."
Then we'll head that way, my boy,
for it seems to me that both of us are
in a good condition to stand some
thing of that sort. Don't you know
love and warmth of climate always
seem to go hand in hand?"

toward the land beyond the sea and
in the tropical country of the Monte
zumas they expect to feel more at
home than drifting about among the
butterflies of fashion in the gay
French capital.
Dick sits and muses. at the window
while he finishes his last cigar His
thoughts may be of many things, but
it is pretty certain that they take in
one character in particular-Miss
Pauline has entered his life and new

a peculiar way, when the footpads
stopped her carriage in the streets
of Paris.
Sitting there, he can look down into
the street, and along this to the great
artery it taps, the wonderful Champs
Elysees, where, day and night, throngs
can be met, crowds that represent all
the phases of Partisan life, the soul
of the metropolis.
Few people walk along this by
street at such an hour. and Dicks
eyes mechanically follow each one as
he strides briskly along.
Now comes a figure that does not
hurry-he notices it particularly on
this account, and then gives some
thing of a start, rubbing his eyes.
Looks like him-wait, he ap-
proaches lamp-we shall soon see. =
he mutters, at the same time thank
full that he is on the Swallowed side
of the street, and cannot be seen by
the sharp eyes below.
Half minute passes-Dick gives a
secret pull at his cigar, all the while
keeping his eyes fastened upon the
moving figures below.

a Laundry Story.

In a really well-managed laundry
everything lost or torn should be re-
placed. Great difficulty was recently
experienced over this. A small piece
of lace trimming on the lingerie of a
certain great lady was torn. Every
where, at home and abroad, match
was sought, but fruitless. Finally IL
was discovered in a far-away French
convent. The mother superior wrote
that she could not supply the lace
without permission-for which she
had written-of a great lady who pur-
chased all they had. The Laundry
people were visited personally fby
their client, who let them of replacing
her lace. so pleased was she with the
trouble they had taken, for she was
the patroness of the convent in the
far-away French village.

the man of her choice-he is hand

knows, and, better still, he is well
educated, for a girl like Miss Pauline
could never be happy with a boor for
a husband, no matter what his other
good qualities might be.
At the same time Dick is keeping
something from her; the colonel no

fabulous wealth. Once Colonel Bob
makes what seems to be a break, IN
speaking of the great silver mine,

when Dick was there, at which MISS
Pauline turns quickly upon the other,
and says, in surprised voice:

there followed a general display of

pass without expressly violating a
law of Congress, and the free special
train for the president is also to be
a thing of the past.

that the work Of the secretary Of the

sonality Of the man and that persons
