Marriage No Joke in Kansas.

Brides must not laugh while a mar
riage is being performed in Kansas.
Because a young woman laughed while
the ceremony was being performed
Judge McCabe OF Topeka stopped In
the middle Of 1t and refused to con-
tinue until she ceased. says the Phila-
delphia North American.
The bride was Nina Brown of New
York, who was being married to Wal
ter Jones.
Marriage Is not laughing matter"
said Judge McCabe when he stopped
the ceremony. IL will not perform a
marriage ceremony which Is regarded
as a laughing affair. When you can
stop laughing and seem to realize just
little more that this Is not a side
show perhaps we will resume the GER
emony."
Then the judge walked out Of the
clerks office, where the ceremony was
being performed. The couple were just
half married Jones had sworn to
love, cherish and support Miss Brown,
but Miss Brown owed him no allegl-
ance of any kind. Miss Brown seemed
to enjoy the situation Of being single
herself and still having Jones married
to her.
Jones expostulated with her for some
time, and at length informed the judge
that the lady isn't laughing now"
The Judge went back to his perform
ance OF the ceremony which made a

CHAPTER Mi.

The following morning, before Con-
stance Fraser had had time to compose
her thoughts. and begin to prepare her
child for what lay before her, Sheila
came into the room.
Audrey was lying very quiet in her
little bed, and the other girl noticed, with
anger in her heart, how exquisitely love
ly was that pale young face, pillowed
among the delicate lace-edged linen and
shadowed by the pink-lined curtains. 1t
made her even savage, In her jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
II came to tell you," she said, very
abruptly, that am going to London
for a few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that l can do
for you?"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheila
went away in total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
1t was no unusual thing for her to go
to London for a few days, as she was
shrewd business woman. and superintend-
ed nearly all the movements of her af-
fairs. This time, however, there was
nothing that would demand her atten-
ton, except this former marriage of her
fathers widow.
She determined during her absence
from Dinglewood to 60 herself to Broad
borough and make full inquiries about
Audrey.
IL will not rest till I have full and
complete proof that she is Frank Ans
truthers child. If only can be success
full and discover any flaw, l think l
shall know how to make it disagreeable
for Mrs. Fraser and her charity girl"
To Sheila's annoyance she found that
Mr.. Chester was in possession of every
fact relating to Audrey's birth, and in
a very short time placed these facts be-
fore her.
There Is not a shadow Of doubt, Miss
Fraser" he said quietly, that this young
girl is Miss Anstruther. l have been
myself to Broadborough and made every
inquiry, and if these inquiries had failed,
the appearance of the registration Of
birth and the marriage certificate would
settle the question. have been down
TO the church where Miss Gascoigne mar
rled Captain Anstruther, and have pro-
cured another copy of the certificate.
Here it is"
(Which Is so much worthless paper,
considering that Captain Anstruther was
married at the time and had a wife liv-
ing" Sheila remarked curtly.
II am happy in being able to assure
you that this romance Is not true, and
congratulate you that your stepmother
has at least one JOY left her in life. Fate
has treated her harshly, poor lady"
She arose abruptly, and went away.
As she re-entered her hotel, she saw a
pile Of luggage being carried in, and in
her preternaturally sharp way she rec
ognized the livery of the footman, who
was experimenting the portmanteaus and
huge boxes, as that worn by the servants
Of the Earl Of Daleswater. She whisper
ed to her maid, Beecham, to find out il
| the family were about to stay at the hotel,
| and passed upstairs with the first sensa-
| ton of pleasure she had experienced for
some time which grew stronger as she
| learned that the countess and her chill
| dren were expected up the following day
| from Daleswater House.

Shining Eyes.

Why do the eyes Of some animals,
notably Of the dog, the cat and the
horse, shine In the dark? Naturalists
saw that it is because their eyes secrete
a pigment Of a brilliant metallic luster
at the bottom of the eyeball. which acts
as a concave reflector, causing the rays
Of light to traverse the retina a second
time. This probably Increases the pow
er Of vision, particularly where only a
feeble light Is admitted to the eye. The
choroid of the human eye. on the con-
trary, Is lined with dark brown or
black pigment, which does not reflect
light. This peculiar construction Of ami
mails eyes is part Of the protective
scheme of nature.

said? I suppose you have sent for fur
her police assistance, Miss Fraser?" he
went on.
Sheila confessed she had not even
hought of it.
Are not the Mountberry men suffi-
cient?" she asked
This is pre-eminently a case for an
astute detective" he said; "and l should
telegraph up at once to Scotland Yard,
if were you. AS the affair happened in
your grounds, of course, it would be
pleasanter for you to have it sifted thor
oughly."
You are quite right ~ Sheila said
warmly, although she could have struck
him with her whip for daring to dictate
to her. II will send up to London at
once"
As she said this. the thought of Bever-
ley Rochfort came into her mind, and all
at once she determined to learn his ad-
dress from Mr.. Thorngate, and telegraph
to him to send down detective, why,
she could scarcely have told.

Jipcoln's Much quoted Words.

Perhaps the most famous address
ever made by President Lincoln Is the
one that he delivered at the dedication
Of the soldiers monument on the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg, and the words
most quoted from 1t are "the govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people" This phrase was, no
doubt, an unconscious quotation, for
the same words were used by Theodore
Parker In an address to the Anti-Slav-
erv Society, May 13, 1854. Nor was
the phrase original with Parker. Dan
iel Webster, in 1880, used the words,
"the peoples government, made for
the people, made by the people, and an
swerable to the people" And even be-
fore Webster, Chief Justice Marshall
had expressed the same idea In similar
DhraseolOgy.

| Late In 177S Sir Henry Clinton sent
British expedition of 1000 men to In
wade Georgia, and on Dec. % it arrived
at the mouth Of the Savannah River,
where the soldiers disembarked. Cen
eral Robert Howe, with about 600 Con-
tinentals and few hundred militia
endeavored to hold Savannah against
the enemy, but the Americans were
overpowered and put to rout, the town,
fort, munitions and supplies falling
into the hands Of the British.
In August, 1910, Count d'Estaing ap-
peared Off the southern coast with
twenty-five French ships of the line.
General Lincoln, then in command Of
the American army In the South, was
at Charleston when frigate came
there to announce the arrival of the
/ fleet, and at his request the French
commander agreed to assist In the re-
duction of Savannah. Lincoln and his
small army reached the Savannah Riv-
er on Sept. IL and on the same day the
French troops landed and marched up
had been strongly fortified by the Brit
/ ish. Surrender Of the post was de-
manded, but General Provost, the Brit
ish commander, requested a truce,
which was unwisely granted, for dur
| ing the interval he was reinforced and
then gave defiant refusal to the de-
mand for surrender.
A siege was begun on Sept. 23 last
| ing until Oct. 8, with varying success.
Just before dawn on Oct. 8 an assault
was made by the allies, and after five
hours Of fierce conflict there was a
truce for the purpose of burying the
dead. While the British had lost but
12O men, the Americans and French
had lost 1000 in killed and wounded
Among the latter was Count dEstaing,
who was carried to his camp. Count
Pulaski, while lighting ut the head Of
his legion, was mortally wounded by a
grapeshot. During the truce D'Estaing
and Lincoln held a conference. The
former, having lost many men, wished
to abandon the siege, while Lincoln,
confident Of ultimate success, desired
to continue 1t. The French commander
refused to further participate, and on
the evening Of Oct. Is the French with
drew to their ships and the Americans
to the Savannah River. Thence Lin
coin retreated to Charleston, and at the
beginning Of November the fleet sailed
for France, thus closing the Revolu-
tionary campaign Of 1779.
