CHAPTER TX.

1t was the very last evening of the
time that had been allotted Terhune
IN which to select a wife. The fol
lowing day was to see Solicitor Barnes
at luncheon with us at one O'clock
precisely, Dearest having invited him
IN accordance with Mrs. James re-
quest that he should be the referee
present at the house when the last
minute of Terhunes ten days of grace
should expire, and his expected pres
ence at the meal brought il home TO
us what a decisive one it must of
necessity be- Decisive was indeed the
right word to use in connection with
that meal, For If old Arch was still
free and unbalanced when he sat down
TO 1t, he might as we'll never have
been nephew of his aunt as far as in
heriting that aunt's property was CON
cerned
Dearest was inclined, being optimis
tic enough to hope for a consumma
ton of his engagement to Agatha
Sixth before that time-to make of the
A'AAN@-SSA - SOAI VI LldTIIdSG-IGdSI In
honor of that event. and was already
planning famous ices and cakes of a
hymeneal nature But Arch seemed
not to view the approach of the cru
cial day with such a light heart. His
thoughts at dinner that hight were so
absent, in fact, as to force one to con.
clude that the spectre of his aunt's
third cousin seated upon the veranda
OF the house in Australia with DOS.
Sessive feet on the railing had be,
come his familiar spirit.
1t was this apparent anxiety of his
and his feyerish devotion to Agatha
Sixth that utterly unprepared me for
the unfortunate denouement later.
The evening had ended at last and
Dearest and had succeeded in start
ing a general move toward retiring
for the night. We had been playing
bridge-that is, the two Agathas had
with Terhune and the inevitable
Freer, while my wife and | stood by

and cut in now and then. We had OBJ
served with pleasure that the party
Of four had divided itself exactly as
we would have arranged it ourselves;
Terhune and Agatha Sixth were part
ners, as were Agatha First and Freer.
Better still, Agatha Sixth seemed quite
to have forgotten the unhappy cpl
sode of the waterfall, when Arch had
so obviously missed his cue, and was
openly basking in the return of her
admirers devotion. And Agatha First,
too, seemed quite contented, not a
whit disturbed by this attitude on my
friends part and mildly amused by
the attempted gailantries of the rec
tors son from Wye. 1t was, in fact a
thoroughly happy little foursome, and
as spectator Of its content | felt
particularly pleased when / thought
of what Arch had confided to me lust
before dinner. That ne intended to
obtain definite, and what he seemed
to consider, favorable answer, from
Agatha Sixth on the morrow.
We had all gone to bed, and the
night was well advanced. when | was
awakened from the rippingest kind of
sleep by the loudest kind of a bang
you ever heard in your life It came
rom the big drawing-room, which we
did not often use, directly below my
room, and woke me at once. 1t sound
ed for all the world as If some one
or something had knocked over .one
of the endless number of statuettes,
heavy vases or little tables that make
a regular auction shop of the place.

a minute to go and see what it was.

Art Leads Language and Science.

The fact is that art Is working far
ahead of language as well as of sci.
ence, realizing for us. by all manner of
suggestions and exaggerations, effects
for which as yet We have no name;
nay, for which we may never perhaps
have direct name. for the reason that
these effects do not enter very largely
into the necessities of life. Hence
alone is that suspicion of vagueness
that often hangs about the purpose OF
a romance; 1t is clear enough to us
in thought; but we are not used to con.
slider anything clear until we are able
to formulate it in words, and analytical
language has not been sufficiently
shaped to that end. 1t is not that
there is anything blurred or indefinite
in the impression left with us. It Is
just because the impression is so very
definite after its own kind, that we
find 1t hard to fit it exactly with the
expressions of our philosophical
spencn.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

ASKS EXECUTORS REMOVAL
Mrs. Yerkes Says Owsley Vast
ed Funds of Estate.

Mrs Mary Adelaide Yerkes. widow of
Charles t Yerkes, took still another step
yesterday in a long series of actions
against Louis S. Owsley, executor Of the
Yerkes estate. Mrs. Yerkes said through
her counsel that Owsley had wasted and
improperly applied the funds of the estate
and asked that sbe be removed as ancillary
executor. As Owsley is resident of Chi
cage. Surrogate Thomas ordered the service
of the citation on him by publication.
Mrs Yerkes said in her petition that II
the estate was properly administered her
share would be more than S2-000.0oo- But
she said Owsley had improperly applied the
money and other assets in his hands and
under his control and had invested money
IN securities unauthorized by law
One of her allegations was that the eX-
ecutor had turned over 10 the Chicago
Railways Company bonds that had a par
value Of s4.i94,9o0 al a price that caused a
loss to the estate OF 1885, 300.
Surrogate Thomas also issued an order
restraining Owsley from acting ss ancillary
executor except in so far as might be ab-
solutely necessary for the protection OF the
estate until the matter could be tried on
the application of Mrs. Yerkes-
