CHAPTER XVII.
JAMS Story.

Jan had aged five years during those
two hours in the Office of the subcommis-
sioner; he aged now as Thornton looked
at him. There came the same tired.
hopeless glow into his eyes. the same
tense lines in his face. And yet, quickly,
he changed as he had not changed on that
afternoon. Two livid spots began to burn
in his cheeks as he sat down opposite
Thornton. He turned the light low, and
his eyes glowed more darkly and with an
animal-like luster in the half gloom.
Something in him now, a quivering, strug-
Cling passion, that lay behind those eyes,
held Thornton white and silent.
M sieur," he began, in the low voice
which Thornton was beginning to under
stand. ~ am going to tell you something
which I have told to but two other human
beings. 1t is the story Of another man
a man from civilization like you, who
came up into this country of ours years
and years ago, and who met woman. as
you have met this girl at Oxford House,
and who loved her as you love this one,
and, perhaps, more. 1t is singular that
the case should be so similar, m'sieur,
and it is because of that that l believe

came into the north. Msieur. I pray the
Great God to forgive him. for he left a
third child-unbOrn.
Jan leaned upon his hand so that 1T
shaded his face.
1T is not so much of that as of what
followed that / am going to tell you,
m sieur,'' he went on. 1T was beauti-
full love-on the womans part. and it
would have been a beautiful love on the
mans part if it had been pure. For her
he gave up everything. even his God-as
you would give up everything-and your
GOd-for this girl at Oxford House.

HAROLD VANDERBILT, during a
brief visit to Chicago, praised the
temperance reformers, who, in Chicago
as elsewhere, have done SO much of
recent years to abolish drunkenness.
'The public Mr.. Vanderbilt said to a

A Christmas Warning.

There's many a severe illness due to

So fiercely did Jan cry out the words
that Thornton jerked back as though a
blow had been struck at him from out Of
the gloom.

A Panama Christmas.

n EGINALD DE KONEN, at a dinner
N in New York, said, apropos of
Christmas:
"a French engineer described to me
the other day a Panama Christmas-an
almost tropical Christmas. with blazing
sunshine, palms and clouds of mosquitoes
"IIe said that a friend of his Pro-
vencaI engineer, had taken to drink In
order to enliven the tedium of Panama
life, and one Christmas day, calling on
the man, he found him sleeping without
the protection of mosquito curtain.

the Provencal engineers servant, how

DUCHESS WEARS MALE
CLOTHING At BIG BALL
Her Grace Of Sutherland
Creates Sensation by ''Lark'
at Brilliant Function.
BY HENRY T. LOVATT.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 23-A carefully
concealed sensation Of the brilliant Ara
bian Nights ball." given at Covent Gar
den. came to light today when it was
learned that among the glittering throng
of oriental dancers was her grace the
Duchess of Sutherland in male attire
that of a maharajah. The incident was
deemed so serious that a family conclave
was called at Stafford House. the magnif1-
cent Sutherland residence on st. James
street.
But it was not the duke who caused
the trouble, but the Earl of Rosslyn, the
countess brother, who ordered his sister
Ito give all account of herself" The
duchess took umbrage at this style of
censure, and, citing his somewhat lurid
career, babe him defiance.
Reproves Her Brother.
Il would like to know. she is reported
to have said. who appointed you as CEN
sor of this family's morals: SO don't talk
rot
A cross-eXamination elected from the
duchess the fact that while she did wear
mans clothes at the ball and also
painted her face a swarthy hue to resem-
Bile the eastern potentate, her trousers
were very baggy and that a cloak envel-
oped her figure.
So at the conclusion of the inquisition
the duchess figured that the Earl Of Ross
lyn owed her an apology. You see it
was all perfectly innocent she said,
land done just for a lark. You should get
down on your knees to me for stirring
up such fuss
