It was silly to mind, but she could not
help being s. by such .. suggestion,
as he had meant her to be. No one
who knew Capt. Winstanley could
make such reflection. OF course, he
has every confidence placed in him. =
Even no doubt to the extent of this
new discovery"
She gave an impatient little move
ment II know nothing about that at
all. / mean that, of course, he has a
confidential position at Government
house from old friendship, quite apart
from his official one"
"Ah. precisely! And he tells you
all about it, probably?" There was
something in the words and the man
ner that offended Ursula. She stiff
enod slightly as she answered: Capt.
Winstanley and I are friends"
Exactly! That is what | mean.
You would like to prove to these de-
tractors of his that he is in better
position with those above him than
they will admit. 1t is easy; find out
from him if he is not in this secret
they speak about. Ask him if he is
not the generals confident Perhaps
he will even tell you something about
it that the rest of the world does not
know. That would make you able to
set them all right whe nthey say these
things against hint would be tri.
umph for his friends"
Ursula's color was still higher as
she turned and looked at him with a
dignilied surprise. 81 don't think un-
derstand YOU" she said, colby. "You
cannot mean what you seem to- You
cannot be suggesting that l should
affairs?"
He shrugged his shoulders and open
ed his hands with a gesture of depre-
cation "Ah, the gallant captain would
not mind from you" The tone, the
manner the words we're all offensive,
whether he meant it or not. Ursula
gave him glance of indignation and
turned away.
1t was as she turned and he started
after her with another murmured
something below his breath, that Win
stanley came in. He saw Ursula's
movement Of recoil and the half-famil-
lar smile Of the baron. 1t struck him
instantly that the fellow had had too
much champagne. 1t was, in fact, the
wine that had loosed his tongue, as he
had counted on it's doing for Winstan-
ley. He had Numbered clumsSsy, it is
true but he would never have been so
dense with cool head-it was the adj
miral's port that had done it. Win
stanley grasped the situation in a
flash.

Champagne and Conversation.

The genial flow of conversation
which follows the circulation of the
champagne at the dinner table is due,
according to Prof. Sterling, not to
stimulation, but to the paralysis of the
inhibitory centers, those cerebral
brakes which prevent our tongues and
our emotions from running away with
us.

while visiting in Nordin last week, dis.
cussed the question of whether or not
President Lincoln was Mason. Al
though statements to that effect have
been made, Col. Bierce says that he
was not. He says that just after Lin
coins election in 1860 his petition
for membership was received by
Springfield Masonic Lodge No 4, of
which Col. Bierce is still a member,
and acted upon favorably, but that in
view of the exciting events which
came on apace during that fall, and
the many things which occupied the
attention of the presidcnt-elect, he
never found time to go any further in

Franklin believed in fair competi.

his business than for the business it.,
self. The story of the sawdust pud-

first started his Gazette he made
some free comments on certain public
officials, and some of the influential
patrons of the paper resented it and
tried to stop it. He invited them to
dinner. When they came they found
nothing on the table but pudding
made of coarse meal and jug of wa
ter. They sat down. Franklin filled
their plates and then his own and
proceeded to eat heartily, but the
guests could not swallow the stuff.
After a few moments Franklin arose,
and, looking at them, said quietly:
