"a Surprise.

Ripple has chased ripple on the
Union City's social sea for more
than year, but Sunday afternoon
when the secret of Miss Wilma
Beck and Mr.. Arthur ]. Scates'
consummation was divulged, the
waters became turbid and a great
wave of surprise rose mountain
high. The prominence of both
families, the social position and
popularity of both the young peo-
Pile, their residence here during
their entire lives, and the knowl-
edge of their relations since they
were school boy and girl, made it
all the more interesting. Mr.. Scates
is congratulated in having won the
heart of one who is possessed of all
the natural endowments that adorn
and perfect young womanhood-
These natural talents it has been
her good fortune to cultivate in ed
ucation and contact with the best
the social world could give. She is
the daughter of the late Rev. J. e.
Beck, who was loved and revered by
all, and Mrs. Beck, daughter of Mr..
w. K. Embrey, one of the oldest
families of old Southern aristocra-
cy. She possesses the same intel
lectual power, grace, tact, and
adaptability that made her mother
and grandmother popular and de.
lightful bellies in their girlhood
homes and the superior women they
are to-day. Never were two hearts
and lives more happily and harmo-
niously united. Mr.. Scates is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. Scates,
so well known in the social and
business world, and inherits the
warm, genial spirit that permeated
sire aud grandsire on both sides.
He is young man Of wonderful
business faculties, having already,
though only twenty-four, estab-
lished himself among the successes
financially. We find our voca bulary
lacking in words ardent enough IN
praise of this young mans morality
and prominence, which seems a
family characteristic. The mar
rage was SO sudden and quiet, only
her sister and her best friend, Miss
Bessie Rowland, being taken into
her confidence. that their friends
did not have an opportunity to hon.
or with the usual round of dinners
and lunchecns; but in spite we hear
rumors of belated linen showers
among various clubs of which she
has been charming member.
They will not be thwarted and
many useful and pretty gifts reach,
ID their future home while they
offered in honeyed bliss on their
way. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur J.
scates left at 800 for Memphis
where they will be at the Gayoso
or several DAYS, en- route to their
lone in Greenwood, Miss, where
lie has been in business for several
ears. We wish them all JOY and
prosperity and

On the Lavelle Young, uphound, Sunday evening was Alex Nicol, a wel-known pros pector just from the Fairbanks district bound for the Hosiaua river. He had with him a rolng boat and supplies sufficient for his present purposes.
 Mir. Nicol has been in the Hosiana before Like other prospectors who have been there, he has confidence in the country's future. He has secured substantial backing and is headed for the Mud Fork where he proposes to stake q lot of ground and later to take in q boiler and thoroughly prospect it with view to installing a dred@e.
 The Mud Fork has been prosI ected more and with better results. perhaps, than any other portion of the big Hosiana basin. At tempts have been made to mine there by wing damming, but sudden floods have car ried the works away and caused abandon ment of operations. The ground so far tried is low grade.
 Mir. Nicol at first proposed to go in outfit ted with boiler and provisions to complete the preliminary investigations; but when he considered that prospectors were there last winter he concluded he had better first go in light and satisfy himself the ground is still vacant.
 Louis Meyers Frank Stao<ley, Alphonse Boulay and J. W. Chisholm have come out of the Husiana after prosI ecting for nearly year. Mir.

 It is related that in Fairbanks Carlo Jacket interviewed certain persons in authority to find out if he would proba- blv be arrested, as safeguard against mushing home and then having to re- turn to court again. He must have got d favorable tip, for he came home all right.

CHAPTER XVI.

MO IT was close upon midnight t%t when Paul reached his gar ISsTaSt ret. Sandal drove him in a Ie3:sJ hanson as far as Piccadilly circus. and from that place Beecot walked through Oxford street to Bloomsbury. He had not been able to extract further information of any im- portance from the young lord. It ap- peared that Lady Rachel Sandal, in love with an inferior, had quarreled with her father and had walked to Christchurch one night. with the inten- tion of joining the man she wished to marry in London. But the night was stormy. and Lady Rachel was a frail woman. She took refuge in the Red Pig, intending to 20 the next morning. but during the night she was found strangled in the bedroom she had hired. Sandal could give no details. as the events happened before he was born, and he had only heard scraps of the dreadful story.
 Some people say Lady Rachel was murdered" explained Sandal. "and others that she killed herself. But the opal brooch. which she wore. certainly disappeared. But there was such a scandal over the affair that my grand father hushed 1t up. I can't say ex- sctly what took place. But know 1t happened at a small pub kept by q woman called KriIl. Do you think this woman is the sameT'
 ''It's hardly likely" said Paul men daciously. How could a woman who kept a small public house become sud denly richT"
 True" answered Lord George as they stopped in the circus. "and shed have let on she knew about my name had she anything to do with the mat ter. All the same, I'll ssk her"

 -No. thank you.- . replied Paul Good night" And be walked away.
 The fact Is Beecot wished to put on paper all that be had heard that night and send 1t to Hurd. As soon as he reached his attic he set to work and wrote cut a detailed account of the evening.

Well" said Beecot, thinking he might say word in season to this young fool. T don't gamble" ."l
 "Oh, you cry down that, do youY Well, I think it's foolish" .'
 Tt is," assented Lord George frank. ly, Internally foolish. And Hay has all the luck. I wonder if he plays square," . ~ 'T
 This was dangerous ground, and Paul shied. T really can't say" he said coldly. "Idon't play cards" But what do you know of Hay" asked Sandal ''@' ~..
 "Only that he was at school with me at Torrington. We met by acci- dent the other day, and he asked me to dinner" .,.
 "Torrington? Yes, had brother at that school once," said Lord George 'but you and Hay wouldn't get on well together, should think. You're straight, and he's"-
 with him." said Paul quickly.
 What of that? I've dined often and have paid pretty dearly for the privi- lege. I must have lost at least five thousand to him within the last few months"
 Tn that case should advise you to play cards no more. The remedy Is easy," said Paul dryly.
 Tt isn't so easy to leave off cards" rejoined Sandal gloomily. I'm that fond of gambling that I only seem to live when I've got the cards or dice in my hand. suppose it's like dram drinking"
 If you take my advice, Lord George. you'll give up card playing"
 with Hay, do you mean:" asked the other shrewdly.
 With any one. I know nothing about Hay beyond what I have told you"
 "Humphw said Sandal. T don't think you're chap like him at all. I may look a fool, but I ain't, and can see through brick wall same as most Johnnies."
 "Who can't see at all," interpolated Paul dryly.
 "Ha, ha! That's good! But, I say, about this Hay, what queer lot he had there tonight"
 q can't discuss that" said Paul stif1y. He was not one to eat mans bread and salt and then betray him.
 Sandal went on as though he hadn't heard him. "That actress isa jolly lit- tie woman," said he. "I've seen her at the Frivolity-a ripping fine singer and Lancer, she is. But those other ladies"
 Mrs. and Miss Krill"
 The young lord stopped short in the High street. Where have heard that name?' he said, looking up to the stars. "Somewhere-in the country, maybe. I go down sometimes 10 the hall-my fathers place. don't sup pose you'd know it. It's three miles from Christchurch."
 Tn Hants?" said Paul, feeling he was on the verge of discovery.
 "Yes. Have you been there?"
 "No but have heard of the place. There's hotel there called the Red Pig, which I thought
 "Har' cried young Sandal, stopping again, and with such shout that pass. ersby thought he was drunk. q re- member the name. The Red Pig! A woman called Krill kept that" "She can hardly be the same" said Paul, not wishing to betray the lady
 'No; guess not. She'd hardly have the cheek to sit down with me if she did. But KriH! Yes, I remember my aunt, you know"
 Your aunt?" , "Yes," said Sandal impatiently; "she was murdered CT committed suicide in that Red Pig place-Rachel Sandal. with her unlucky opals."
 "Her unlucky opals! What do ysu nean?" "Why, she had serpent set with ! opals she wore as a brooch, and 1t brought her bad luck"

 with so much sense," said Mrs. Kriil | contemptuously. While at Christ | church he was nothing but drunkard, | whining when sober and a furious beast when drunk. I managed all the house and looked after my little daugh- ter. Lemuel led me dogs life, and we quarreled necessarily. At length. when Maud was old enough to be my companion, Lemuel ran away. I kept on the Red Pig and waited for him to return. But he never came back, and for over twenty years heard nothing of him till saw the handbills and his portrait and heard of his death. Then I came to see Mir. Fash, and the rest you know"
 But why did he run away" asked Paul.
 T suppose he grew weary of the life and the way detested him." was her reply. q don't wonder he ran away. But there. have told you all. so make what you can of it. Tell Miss Norman of my offer and make her see the wis dom of accepting 1t. And now"-she rose and held out her hand-"I must run away. You. will call and see us7 Mir. Hay will give you the address"
 Whats that?" said Hay, leaving the card table. Docs Beecot want your address? Certainly" He went to a ta- ble and scribbled on a card. There you are. Hunter street. Kensington, No. 32A. Do come. Beecot. rhope soon to call on your services to be my best man. and l9 cast coldly loving look on Maud. who simply smiled as usual
 By this time the card party had broken up. Maud had lost a few pounds and Lord George a great deal. But Miss oian and Hay had won.
 What luck" groaned the young lord. Everything seems to go wrong with me-"
 Stop. and we'll try another game when the ladies have gone" suggested Hay. his impassive face lighting up. ''then Beecot''-
 T must go." said the young gentle man. who did not wish to be called upon us a witness fin a possible card scandal
 And I'll go. too." said Lord George. Whenever play with you. Hay. al- ways seem to lose"

 'oh. he doesn't mean anything" said Miss Qian sweetly and putting her cloak around her. Mfr. Beecot, just take me to my cab"
 'T'li take you to your carriage" said Hay. offering an arm to Mrs. Kril. which she accepted graciously.
 Lord George followed. grumbIInE. with the ever smiling Maud. Miss Dian skipped into a hanson and of fered Paul drive back to town. which he refused. As the cab was driving of. she bent down and whispered. Be careful" with q side glance at Hay.
 Paul laughed Every one seemed to doubt Hay. But that gentleman hand ed Mrs. Kriu and her daughter into their carriage and looked toward Lord Neorge. You don't want your re- venge tonightT- he asked

"who told you that he did?" asked Paul quickly.

"Who told you that he did" asked Paul quickly.
 "Mr. Fash. He told me all about the matter, but not the reason why my husband wanted the brooch"
 Fash doesn't know" said Beecot, "nor do I. Your husband fainted when 1 first showed him the brooch, but I don't know why He said nothing"
 Again Mrs. KrilPs face, in spite of her care, showed a sense of relief at his ignorance. But must get back to my story" she said in hard tone.
