All the Xiii blazes that ever lived since the first McTurk twanGled his harp in the halls of Tara coul,. not put her down-not much.
 Sam and Jenny paid state visit to the Rev. Coddlers "school for the young nobility and gentry" and arrived to tini a crowd of boys gathered on the play ground around two youths who were pum- meing each other unmercfully. "Go 1t, Turk Give him 1t, Barber," the boys were shouting. Jemmy broke through tho ring in a iiffy. She tore the boys apart and gave Tug whirl which sent him spinning into the arms of his seconds. At the same time with her other hand she seized the shock of red hair on the head of the Hon. Arthur Wellesley and gave it a tremendous pull. Then she boxed his ears right smartly. You nasty. wicked aristocrat-ohl oh ohl' cried Jemmy. and each word was accompanied by a sound box. But what with agitation, maternal solioitude and kick in the shins which the Honorable Arthur gave her, the good woman was overcome and fell in a faint.
 But when the Honorable Arthur and Tug were home for the vacation they were as good friends as ever. and when McTurk boasted of the governess who had been engaged for his sister-a Mms. Flicfac-Tug told his mother and Jemmy lat once bribed the madame to forsake the kilblazes and come to her establish ment as governess for Jemimarann.
 The Baron von Punter was present when Mime. Fifac arrived. They looked at each other in surprise. "Sapristie!' cried the Baron, "que fais-tu lei, Amen aide? ?'' "Et toi, mon pauvre Chico" rev niest pas plus general chez Franco" "Chut" says the Baron, laying his fing- CT on his lips. What are they saving, my dear?' says Jemmy to Jemimarann.
 'I do not know what Sapristie means" replied the girl, but the Baron asked madame what she was doing here. and she replied. and you, Chico. are you no longer general at Francos? Have I not translated right, madame?' "Oh, yes, my cabbage. my angel,' replied madame, gritting her teeth. Figure to yourself-I have known Chico for this 20 years" "Chco Is my name of bap- |
 Punter is my name." And being gem eral at Francois said Jemmy means suppose, being a general in the French army?" "Oh, yes, Oui,' replied the Baron, and looked at the governess Then both the Baron and Mme. Flicfac burst out laughing right heartily. And to be polite both Jemmy and Sam laughed with them-though they had not the faintest idea where the joke came in.
 About this time Mrs. Coxe-Tuggeridge- Coxe was waited by favoring gale into the very tip top Of society-she was made one of the lady patronesses of the Brit
 sh Washerwoman's Orphans Home. of which Lady de Sudley was the great pro- jector. The chaplain and manager, the excellent and Reverend Sidney Stopper, and the physician, pr. Leitch! both cou- sins of her ladyship, drew between them 800 pounds of the 500 annually contribut- ed to the charity, so Lady de Sudley thought that an extension of her list of lady patronesses and a fete at Beulah Spa was highly desirable as a means of raising the wind. Beulah Spa was full of high and mighty foreign noblemen at that season, and serence transparent cies and envoys extraordinary and am | bassadors promised her ladyship to pat
 ronize her fete. And they did. The fete
 was a great and splendid triumph for | the Wesherwoman's Orphans Home.
 Sam and Jemmy, Jemimarann and Tugg together with the Baron de Punter and
 Madame Ficflac, went down in the
