CHAPTER .l.-fContinued.)

"Of course she is quite right" Consta-
BILE went on, "but that doesn't make 1t
any easier to bear. With all the impress
iveness which comes of being twenty and
a girl-that was the Madame's first voy-
age, five years ago-she informed me
that a man is a nobody, even If he has
billion, when he isn't Of some use In the
world. Exquisite little preacher! Such
things were never thought of, nor spok-
en- to, mortal man before! l explained
my view, that having all the money need
full, it was my privilege to play for cul-
ture instead Of coin, to water my mental
garden as a life pursuit, but she broke
up all my arguments, beat down my
ideals. l regarded my valueless past and
yearned to become an apostle OF action

perhaps we might look in on Martinique
on our way around the islands. The

"Your sentences are becoming uncou-
pied, Peter. You are shirring the narra-
tive" said Breen.
"Well, I've been taking an annual
course in old Pelee since then. Saint
Pierre sits in the shadow of the volcano,
and from a geological standpoint"

Stansbury still cher1shes the view tnat

Peter Constable was singular In vari-
Gus ways, possessing large fortune and
no fixture, save the natural bent of a
student. He had specialized in geology
for dozen years. Exceedingly tall, big
boned, and angular, Constable had plain,
kindly face and large, quick hands. His
nose was immense, and not to be CLASH
fed. He carried his head bent slightly
forward, as many tall men do and 1t was
well-browed head of goodly contour.
There was puzslins solemnity in his
countenance. One would not have been
surprised to hear that this man was a
gambler, q preacher, or humorist; and,
not knowing exactly why, one would ex-
pect it to be added that he was . good
man in his class.

CHAPTER II.

fly for waiting. atHe might have gone
ashore in Saint Pierre that night, but
instead he sat alone on deck, in the wind
less harbor. Queerly restless, he regard
ed the illumined terraces of the city. Back
of all his levity and elaboration, it was
not to be concealed from his own mind
that before him lay the goal of the cruise.
She was there, far to the right, among
the lights on the mountain side-the lit
tie girl who had told him he was a no
body. Constable smiled, and grew seri-
GUS from the start Of an old thought. 1t
was 6ot impossible for her to have met
some emperor who had demanded her
heart for his throne room.
The harbor was weirdly hot. The
heavy, moist sweetness Of horticultural
garden, to which he had likened the nights
of Saint Pierre, had been supplanted by
dry, devitalized draughts of air. His
throat and nostrils were irritated, and to-
bacco became unpalatable. There was no
moon, and the stars were 30 faint in the
north that the mass of Pelee was scarce
ly shaped against the sky. The higher
lights Of the city had a reddish, uncer-
tain glow, as if thin film of fog hung
between them and the eye; but to the
south the night grew clearer. He fol-
lowed the circling shore with his eyes to
the Morne dQrange, which marked the
southern boundary Of the city. Beyond
the morne stood the great plantation
house where she lived The night was
pure purple in that direction, and the
tOrrid stars unsullied.
Breen essayed to read the following
forenoon away, leaving Constable to make
his first descent upon the city alone. The
Madame had already been sighted from
the plantation house, and certain mem
bers of the establishment were out to
welcome the guest. Indeed, Constable
had scarcely stepped ashore from his
launch at the Sugar Landing when he
heard his name called and saw the futter
of a handkerchief above the burdened
heads Of the natives In the market place.
1t wss Miss Stansbury, in a carriage. She
greeted him merrily:
"Uncle Joey went out to the ship from
the lower landing. Il told him l would
capture you If you touched here. We are
very glad you've come, Mr.. Constable"
He took her hand and gained the seat
beside her in the carriage. This IN
great luck" he said nervously. II feared
you might be away somewhere-in Eu-
rope or the States. Would you mind me
looking at this little book in your lap?"
Its a-ittle volume of essays" she
told him, land I'm not sure that great
" admire their spirit, nor the views Of
the writer. He makes a statement, for
instance. that women are incapable Of the
finer senses Of friendship; that women
cannot adhere through severe tests"
Miss St6nsbury was to encounter, 1
few days later, stirring cause to remem-
Der these words and Constable's reply,
which i neither here nor there, ethical
niostiss not beiqg his specially.

cieus hospitality" Constable said.
Il remember, too" Mrs. Stansbury re
piled. with scarcely trace Of smile.
Who could forget the dentist-the dent
ist to La Montague Pelee? Have You

mountain?"

Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
of the brain-worker who, after years
of continuous mental strain, retires
from active life. The reason is that
mental activity demands large sup
ply of blood for the brain, and the
blood. vessels gradually accommodate
themselves to this large supply. But,
when the hard work is over, the brain
does not always realize that it needs
less nourishment, and hence the con-
dition of excessive. mental activity
which is what insomnia .is.-London

Judge Alum, of one of Havana's cor
rectional courts, fined the manage
ment of the Albisu Theater $50 few
days ago for violating the ordinance
against the playing of the Marcia de
Cadiz (Cadiz March). There is a Pc
culiar but reasonable prejudice in
Cuba against this Spanish march. It
was to that tune, In the days when
Spain ruled the island, that the Gu
ban patriots marched to their execu-
tion. So. when the Independent govern
ment was established, six years ago,
4 ban was placed on the march and
II has seldom been heard since then.

tectionists any man Is a traitor who
suggests lowering a tariff schedule.
that proof would have been afforded
by the senate this week. The presi e.
dent sent In his message asking that
certain administrative changes IN the
tariff law be made, changes which he
and all sincere men who have exam
ined them regard rs essential to ius-
tice. Immediately there was q Juror
in the senate and the arch-stand pat
ters, men like Hepburn and Galljnger
and others, denounced the president
in unmeasured terms. They hal the
message Of the president read in exc

ents would not find them out in their
de enunciation Of Mr.. Roosevelt. Now
they have sent the message and the
proposed amendment of the tariff law
to a committee where 1t will slumber

congress. The changes the president
recommends would not lower sched-
uie' but merely make for honest and

press some severe criticism CT mis-

the Aldrich measure. and even now
he has not even formally introduced d

old one, irto the senate. Mr.. Bailey
Is talking about the bill for political
