sweet voice.
Pooh! do you think / haven't seen

your mistress l am here" she added,
sternly, to a footman, and she fol-
lowed him upstairs.
Lucille was seated before the glass,
with Mrs. Dalton and the new maid
about her, and she WINGED as she
heard Lady Farnley's voice outside.
The moment had come to test her
newly found courage.
"Come in; of course / may come
in." exclaimed her ladyship, as she
entered; then she stopped short, and
her voice fell. "Oh, my child, why
didn't you let me know? What has
been the matter?" and she took her
in her arms.
Lucille leaned her head on the old
lady's shoulder for a moment, then
she looked up and smiled.
"Oh, I've been i'll! caught cold,

Lady Farnley looked at her anx-

"My dear, my dear, you have been
very ILL.,"
"Have L? Yes, suppose have. But

laughed.
Lady Farnley sat down, still cycling

They were alone in the room at
this moment, but Marie Werner stood
listening outside the door.
Lucille WINGED, but she turned and

FLEET
IN GRAND ARRAY
ARMADA OF f4S VESSELS
STRONG ANCHOR IN THE
THAMES RIVER.
PROPHETS OF EVIL sILENcED
BY GATHERING OF
$4,000, 600 NAVY.

London, England, July 20.-One
hundred and forty-eight British war
ships dropped anchor in the Thames
last night, the array extending from
the estuary at the south end OF the
river to Westminster bridge, In the
heart of London. The total tonnage
of this fleet is 100000, its cost is
1900, 900 ($31O,O00,OO0), and 1t Is
officered and manned by $4,000 of the
picked sons of the nation.
Every Vessel Is Useful.
More warships-165, to be exact
assembled for the naval review at
Spithead in 1897, but at least 80 OF
those could neither steam, nor tight,
and were there simply for show pur-
poses. The fleet now converged on
the Thames is without a useless or OBJ
solete unit. Every one of the l4S YES
sells could go into battle at a moments
notice and give good account of it
SELF.
What is the object of this extended
and supurb display of Britain's fight
ing power afioat? First, it is an anti
panic show. Uneasiness prevails in
every quarter of Britain. Anxiety in
the higher circles as to the condition
of the country's defense has bred
apprehension and pessimism through
out the body polite.
Heroic sedative for Nation.
Lord Roberts says the army is a
tragic joke Admiral Beresford says
the navy is not what it has been con-
sidered. And Germany is accused OF
having aggressive designs against the
peace and liberty of Britons. The re-
suit of all this ferment is that the
country is in danger of "going off its
head" The mighty armada on the
Thames, the assembling of which has
been saddened by the loss of a sub
marine in the north sea, is the admi-
raltys heroic sedative.
"They have made the country think
that we have no navy" says Admiral
Fisher. "The British millions may
now line up along the Thames, go out
in boats and see the great reality for
themselves"

A deaf but pious English lady visit
ing small country town in Scotland,
went to church armed with an ear
trumpet. The elders had never seen
one, and viewed it with suspicion and
uneasiness. After a short consulta-
ton, one of them went up to the lady,
just before the opening services, and
wagging his finger at her warningly,
whispered, "One toot, and ye're oot!"
