"No," he said; "but, with MT. Create. rex's permission, the other gentleman shall entertain us.'
 Il fancy" he continued, smiling, that Hood is not a stranger to the castle ways, and he makes good wait er''
 The idea tickled me. ''Let us have Hood by all means" I said Il had an excellent character for him from MT. Kesteven.'
 Il will bring Hood,' said the captain gravely and, taking up his hat, made to go.
 The dinner was set for [ o'clock, and I fancy that all three looked forward to it with considerable expectation Sercombe arrived punctual to the hour, and a little later 1 entered the morning room to meet him. He sat in d chair, lounging very cOzily, a light overcOat covering his evening dress, and by his side stood Hood, also in tine orthodox costume and looking. as I could not help noticing, uncommonly spruce and servant-like.
 II am here, MT. GreatoreX, to the moment" said Sercombe in his leisure ly voice, and I go bail that I have brought you an invaluable ally. With your permission, Hood will now retire to the kitchen
 The innkeeper insensibly straight ened himself, standing 10 attention like a graven image, and I signed my as- sent.
 ''This is entirely your affair, Captain Sercombe," said I. and you may do what you like with your own proper ty.' turned to Hood You will find Mrs. Main in the servants hall," I said
 With his gliding, serpentine tread Hood made a motion of respect and vanished. Sercombe stared after him, meditating, and gnawed his mustache with frown. which seemed to me to indicate a certain touch of perplexity But he frightened at once and talked very freely and in his old manner till dinner was served. The interior sig nificance of our dinner party would not have been visible to q stranger. For
  mish was occupied by conversation the most distant from the subject we all had at heart. It was Sercombe himself who set the example of reserve and we followed meekly enough. When I say reserve 1 am thinking only of one particular point, for heaven knows that his talk was sufficiently frank upon other topics.

"and the sooner the better"
 10 De Dfief. MT. GreatOreX,.. ne salu "1 have come to strike bargain with you. will confess that so far you have outmaneuvered us. l will go so far as to say that 1 thought I had you cornered yesterday. Yesterday morn- ing 1 would not have put crowns up- on your appearance in the race. But you have sharp eyes, sir. and you are , a sharper man than I had reckoned But upon the other hand. where do you stand: I ask you to consider that. And what price do you put on your chances? You have. should guess about as much chance to lay your that so?''
 ''I am not here to discuss my chances with you. but to listen to you. sir" said I. What have you to say?"
 He made slight grimace, deliver ing it instinctively to Sheppard and went on: Well. suppose what you have to say will keep. What I have won't, if we are either of us to get any further. We stand upon equal terms | now. MT. Greatorex, as you will see, but those terms are impracticable. You have only one half of secret, and we have the other, and it will take clev- erer man than you to find our half as l make no doubt you also have yours in pretty safe hiding. I don't reckon to hunt London for piece of paper. But this brings me to my point. Let us show our hands. Let me see what you have in yours, and give you the word of a gentleman you shall see all mine"
 He paused and interrogated me mo- ment silently.
 Since the captain gires his word as gentleman put in Sheppard's suaye voice. 'I think We stand on safe ground For my part I am quite will ing to give mine as burglar"
 Sercombe flashed glance of annoy ance at him.
 "Will you be more explict?' said I.
 "I thought you took me-" said be- l Its plain enough. Let us piece the document together. read it and start fair on the knowledge That places us again on equal terms. only with this difference, that the best man wins Whereas now a man may be Satan himself and fail till the crack of doom"
 Sheppard threw an eager glance at me. and l read assent in it. Nor was IiSDDSnH n n n O11 and unexpected as it came and involv- ing us, as 1 foresaw. in all the out ragaS of actual warfare Yet upon so pregnant a proposition dared not make up my mind on the instant, and 1 suppose the man saw this. for, tlrTt- ing, he moved to the windows again and looked out un0n the lawns hum ming t2 himself Ere he had turned a%aia and faee8 He With his question in h!s eyes had made up my mind.

 And my toe" growled Montgomery assuming a ferocious expression.
 "No, no, my dear lad,' said Shep- pard, with his gentle and insinuatna smile. You are too forward, too pre- cocious in your arguments. Let us bag the captain, whom, I confess, I am dying to see wei! pasted, but let it ba "y more diplomatic processes"

 Sercombe stared, somewhat discon- posed by this delverance, but. recover ing himself, smiled genially. 'Thc pride, sir, is on my side to encounter so pleasant gentleman" Then he looked at me. II take it, MT. Greatorex. that l may state my business here."

Passing to the ether extreme, you will see women beautifully gotten up ia an imported gown with which they wear stringy hat feathers. soiled gloves and perhaps a coarse, horrid petticoat The purchase of one good thing demands other accessories to go with it. For that reason a wom- an should not invest in an elaborate. expensive costume unless she can al- so afford silk petticoat. a dainty hat. a well-arranged coiffure, fresh, fine gloves and patent leather shoes of good style. We have all heard the old-fashioned story of the girl who received the gift of pink bonnet, and who, in her endeavors to dress up to the gift, threw her father and family into poverty. Let Us beware and not attempt the impossible. If money is limited, limit the wardrobe. and do not try to reach that which is beyond your finger tips.

In buying ready-made clothes it is particularly necessary to avoid the over-trimmed garment. These braid- ed, buttoned. ruffled things seldom wear we'll and soon become tiresome 10 the one who must get into them every day. The plain garments look the best, wear the best and are best liked.
 Knowing what to buy and how to get the most for your money is a very important matter these days of tremendous dress extravagance. While certain hints can be given and ment- ally digested, one must cultivate the wisdom and the taste with which to make individual selections.
 It means a great deal.

GOOD TASTE DRESSING.

Suitability is a word which every woman should appreciate and thor oughlv understand The very prettl- est and most beautiful things are rob bed of half their charm when worn at the wrong time.
 There is the girl who goes about yjtb soiled ermine collar and huff in the winter time, and who trails along in so"ed muslin during showery days of summer. A raincoat is out of place on a sunshiny day, but it doesn't look half so absurd as dress LID tcgs in bad weather.
 Elaborate gowns are only for car liaee wear in the afternoon and for general evening wear. Many a time vo1 will see a matinee girl fiuffing ner lovely robes about. logged up in an all-lace dress that is suitable onlv iti d uIAl4tI 1l PeIl y SoN II. AetoAA ' dress soon becomes soiled and dis heveled. for dainty elaborate clothes wont stand hard usa@e. Even if the girl has DO reeard for the pretty cos tune she should not publish to the world her lack of taste by wearing m elaborate frock on the wrong ecca- s on.
 Women who have little money to spare will keep on the safe side by choosing rather plain garments. Trim mincs cost money, and what folly to spend good hard-earned dollars on frip- reries instead of investing them in serviceable foundations and Wearab ble material.

I would like to intensity the faith of Press in the future of Ala bama. and our pride in the really wonderful progress we have made in the last third of a century. I will, however. have more to say about our duties. not fully performed than will in the line of eulogy upon what has been accomplished Alabama's future Is to be far more renowned than her past. and desire to state my req sons for this conviction.
