 Case-Await Charges.

The Airynezy,'s $
 Courtship

Mir. Peabody lived for his daughter Lillian, one of the handsomest young girls among the 400" She was tai! and graceful and had charmingly frank manners, as only an American girl can have them.
 Tonight the great multi-millionaire gave ball. It was now long past midnight and tired out with dancing, Lillian was sitting with young Count Pierre de Lussones, in one of the large salons of the Fifth avenue man. sion
 The count moved a little closer to her and sat down on the luxurious di- van covered with the skin of an i'm. mense polar bear. Pierre de Lus- sones lit a cigarette and they began to chat like old friends. She tried to tease him a little.
 So you have come over here to marry an heiress, you say?"w
 Yes; or, rather, it was a Bndicate of my creditors who sent me over. am tired of everything and only con- sented because 1t gave me an oppor- tunity to take this beautiful trip, my last voyage"
 People say you are going to mar ry Annie Stangerson"
 That homely little silly! No, no could not do 1t, and none of the others who are willing to take me have enough money to guild our es cutcheon."
 But what do you mean when you speak of your last voyage?"
 T am very fond of you, Miss Lil- lian, you are tho only friend I have in this money crazed country, so will tell you.
 My debts amount to three hun dred and odd thousand francs. l am tired of life which I despise, and I have no wish to prolong 1t. I am used to luxury, and I admit I am a cow ard, now that poverty or surrender of my selfrespect stares me in the face. Tomorrow I am to make an attempt at breaking the record for altitude, and so see a chance of end ing my existence in a poetical man. ner, flying ever higher, toward the sky, until the rarefied air robs me of my consciousness, and puts me to sleep forever"
 ''Suicide?"
 Perhaps. But at any rate is will be beautiful death and my family will believe 1t was an accident" Lillian blushed little and said

Lillian arrived at the aerodrome early. In her hand she held a great bouquet of yellow orchids.
 Pierre was smoking nervously. Dressed in his airman's suit of fur and his close-fitting fur cap, he looked like a pig sea lion.
 His aeroplane was wheeled out of the hangar. Lillian was walking si- lently at his side. His only thought was: This Is to be my last flight"
 Lillian. raising herself on tip-toes, said to him: Here, Pierre" (she had never called him by his first name before), let me tie these flow CTS to your machine" And she tied them firmly to bar in front of him.
 Then he gave the signal and his mechanic started the propeller There was roar from the motor, whirring buzz from the propeller and the pow erful machine began to soar upward.
 He puts on more speed. Upwards he flies. He passes through a layer of clouds. The air is biting, his face is frozen, his hands heavy and numb, and his coat collar seems to be grow ing too tight for him.
 Lllian's bouquet tied firmly to the rod, is losing the petals of its flowers one by one, and Lussones says to him. self This Is the way my life will go. too"
 Suddenly his eyes open wide. He sees a little blue flower. then one more, and again another. Under the orchids, robbed of their petals by the breeze raised by the propeller, ap- pears bouquet of forget-me-nots, the engagement flower.
 Lussones glides towards the earth. His machine descends in a beautiful vol plane, with the grace of a bird. flying in circles rapidly growing small CT. The air whistles about his ears, he catches sight of the earth, touches it gently and stops.

A score of arms lift him up and carry him shoulder high through the madly excited throng.

 "Oh, dear! how have been afraid. have been terribly punished, but l may as we'll confess it right here-l would have married you, even If you had not broken the record, or would never have married at all"

 Rather vexed, Lussones replied:
 "Of course, if you like sensations, you will get all of it you want"
 Lillian took two flowers from 8 vase
 Are they not lovely!" she said. "I do love orchids
 q prefer these," he replied, point ing to the flowers she was wear ing.
 "Oh, the forget-me-nots, which you call myosotis. When you give them to anybody in this country, 1t means as much as proposal"
