The Stanhope Family

Meanwhile there had arrived at a house in the cathedral close new factor in the life of the cathedral city-Hon. and Rev, vesey. stanhope. canon of the cathedral, and his family.
 He was brother to an earl and had mar ried the sister of another earl He was a widower and his affairs were managed by his eldest daughter, unmarried and named Charlotte.
 He had another daughter who had mar ried a 'tno-account" Italian and, after a year or so. had returned to her father, a hopeless cripple and with baby daugh- ter.
 Also he had a son, a young man who affected the artistic in dress and talk and who might have been something of an art ist, but who was too utterly indifferent and lazy to work.
 The Stanhopes were poor but from the many benefces held by the head of the family they managed, under the guidance of Charlotte, to keep up considerable degree of luxury in theirs living.

A Beautiful Basilisk

And yet those eyes were very beautiful. The eyelashes were long and perfect and the long, steady. unabashed gaze with which she would look into the face of an admirer fascinated while 1t frightened him.
 Her nose and mouth and her chin and teeth, her neck and bust were perfect: much more so at 2s than they had been at k.
 Such was the beautiful basillsk who now held her court reclining upon the couch in the bishops reception room. The men lowered about her like moths around q ca ndIe and the women-well the women they did not like 1t at all.
 And when MT. Slope. caught by those eyes. nuttered into the flame of the can- dle and could not be dragged away. Mrs Proude was furious and expressed her opinions of such goings on to her chap lain in no uncertain tones.
 From that night the signora had poor slope at her mercy. Just as cruel boys put a cockchafef on a string for amuse- nler1t SD she played with him and tor- mented him until. near the close of his Barchester career. she got tired of his squirnling gyrations and threw him away.

Bertie Disposed Of

And Eleanor did ride home with papa. Bertie not even handing her into the car- riage and making her merely formal bow as the carriage drove off
 Charlotte saw this and when the Stan- hope family were again gathered at home things were made pretty warm for Mr. Bertie.
 Had he proposed and been rejected7 No. but he had stated the case, admitted the ingenious youth when finally pushed td the wall.
 MT. Stanhope was furious; Charlotte was furious. But the Signora Neron en- joyed the joke
 After stormy interview between father and son it was arranged that Bertie should flee at once to Italy and Carara. where IS a sculptor. he had once lived and where he could be supported at a very trihing expense, 1 This disposed of Bertie as far as thia story is concerned.

With the Rest of the Family

When the Proudies returned to Barches- ter and gave their entertainment Signora Neroni declared that she would go along with, the rest of the family,
 So, attended by footnen and maids. her sister and her brother-N1r Stanhope ar- rived before his daughter-signora vesey Neroni vas carried from her carriage up the stairs into one of the great reception rooms of the palace. where a couch had, by previous arrangement been prepared for her.
 A mantle of scarlet silk had been thrown over the couch. The slgnora was dressed in white velvet, her beautiful arms and neck bare, her stomacher em- broidered with pearls
 Across her forehead was a hand of scarlet velvet. in the front of which was beautiful mosaic representing Cupid. The contrast of the white velvet and the scarlet silk was sufficiently striking-but snd the wish for mischief.

Good Naturcd for Once

{ The signora resolved for once in her life to be good .natured and wrote a note be- seechns Eleanor to come to see her. Eleanor went reluctantly.
 The signora told her that in Mr Arabin she had a man who loved her--that was worthy or her-that she was q fool not to return such love.
 You will be married. . said the signora. and have happy home. But by that time we shall be far away, Now go and ponder on what | have told you"
 Eleanor went away full of thought and departed upon her visit to ullathorne. There she found that MT. Arahin had also been invited.
 Miss Thorne threw them tegether--isn them alone and calculated upon about ', week for her matchmaking The good old lady was little bit vexed, therefore, when, after dinner at the end of the first day of the visit. Eleanor calmly an nounoed to her that she and MT. Arabin were engaged
 Matclfmakers do not like to be thus fore- stalled But she forgave them.

porality over which hung the slightest cloud7
 The widow Bold and her sister-in-law, Mary Bold, spent most of their time in worshipping at the shrine of the wonder ful baby And at first Eleanor felt con- science stricken if she did not think of the departed Bold every hour or so.
 But gradually this wore off to a certain degree. though her grief for him was sin- cere. But she was young and there was the wonderful baby and her father and her sister and her household cares.
 She wore her widows weeds and her little widows cap, as was the custom in those days. and wore them with decorum.

Two Women in the Secret

MT. Arabin was told. too. But Eleanor. while she was ready enough to forgive tho others for their ungrounded suspicious. WAS still cold and distant to Mr. Arabln.
 He ought to have known better, she said again and again to herself
 There were two women who had dis- covered Eleanor's secret and Mr Arabin' s secret. This secret was that they were In love with each other-and did not know 1t
 One of the discoverers was old Miss Thorne of Ulathorne She Invited Eleanor to come and spend q few days with her and plotted that in those few days she would make a match Of it.
 The other dlscoverer was the Signora Nesey Neroni. She had talked with Ara bin on the occasion of the i'lathorns party--she had talked with Eleanor-and she knew better than the parties them- selves just how matters stood.

The Ancient Thrones

The Thornes of Fllatforne, very an- cient family now consisting of Wilirld Thorne and his sister. both well along in years and both unmarried. gave an enter tainment at C1iathorne court in honor of the new vicar of St Ewoidis- MT Arabin. The church was near the court.
 The Thdrnes were so extremely ancient that they regarded the Norman invasion as a thing of yesterday and the coming of the Sexons as comparatively recent his- tory.
 But they were mighty good and kind people, all the same, and treated the tenantry. the gentry and the nobility in profuse and generous manner.

Dreadful Eyes

Her copious, rich, brown hair was worn in Grecian bandeaux round her head. dis playing as much as possible of her fore head and cheeks. Her forehead though rather low, was very beautiful from its perfect contour and pearly whiteness.
 Her eyes were long and large and mar velously bright. Might one venture to say as bright as Lucifer's. it would best. per haps. express the depths Of their bril- liancy.
 They were dreadful eyes to look at. such as would deter any man of quiet mind and easy spirit from attempting d passage al arms with such foes.
 There was talent in them, and fire of passion. and the play of wit-but there was no. love. Cruelty was there instead, courage. a desire for masterhood cunning and the Wicsh for mischief.

Mrs. Bishops Orders

Soon after the grand party at the pal ace. Mr. Harding was summoned to the Episcopal residence and informed by Mr. s,ope that the bishop had decided to rein slate the reverend gentleman in the war denship of Hirams
 But many and manifold were the condf- lions attached to the offer-so many that Mr Harding. much as he longed to be Lack in the pleasant house where he had reared his family, hestated to accept the appointment He said that he could not accept under those conditions-perh the bishop would modify them.

Oxford, q very learned man, frank man, and, of course, bachelor. Arabln and Eleanor became great friends, though neither had the slightest idea of falling in love with each other.
 Eleanor being on a visit to Plumstead, her sister and and her sister-in-law took occasion to renonstrate with her upon her intimacy with MT Slope.
 Eleanor flew into a passion-told them that she believed MT. Solpe to be much maligned, and that they were only angry because she would not join in their un- Christian persecution of him. Mir. Arabin was of the Plumstead party. and when she learned that he, too. had discussed with the arehdeacon the posst- bility of her marrying Slope. she was more angry than ever. would hardly speak to any of them, ordered her carriage and went home to Barchester in a huff.

Rejecting an Offer

He followed the widow and coming upon her began to make his long deferred protestations of love.
 Eleanor stood astonlshed-horrified, What had she done that not only her family but MT. Slope himself. should take fl for granted that he was her woocr 2 She could not imagine.
 She made some attempts at a dienihei and severe reply to his protestations, when the chaplain. emboldened by her seeming hesitation, put his arm around her waist.
 She sprang back from hn-but not far. Not so far but that she could hit him a resounding slap upon the face which. in the stiffness of the laurel walk, sounded like miniature clap of thunder and made his cheeks jingle.
 Then she turned and walked with firm and beligerent step toward the house.

The result of the visit of Archdeacon Grantiy and Dr. Gynne to London was that not MT slope but MT. Harding, was appointed dean of Barchester
 But the good doctor would not accept the appontment--he was too old. he said and turned it over to Mir. Arabin. who did accept
 Mrs Proudie had, through the bishop. l"put d spoke In wheel of any chances which Slope had ever had--and they were few-fer the deanship. Then she insisted that her lord and master get a new chap lain and MT. Slope vas turned out of the palace.
 But he consoled himself by going 10 London and marrying the widow of a very wealthy sugar refiner
 As for the stanhopes as the Influence of Mir. Slope no longer kept them in Bar chester, another leave Of absence was ob- tained and the family returned 10 their villa on their beloved Lake Of Como.

Picked Out By Mrs. Proudie

Now all Barchester is one great eccle- siastical family with its dependents, rela- lives and constituencies community kind |y, Christian, intensely conservative, sin eere and traditional.
 As for MT Slope, he had been picked up in London by Mrs. Proudie because he preached so beautifully upon her fav- orite fad, the strict observance after the Jewish fashion, of Sunday-which, by the way, Mrs Proudiei would never allow to be spoken of except as Sabbath day. and because he always obeyed his patron less without question
 Once Mr. Slope had declared his affec- tion for one of the bishops two daugh- ters, Miss Olivia. But finding that she had not a shilling to her dover he with drew his declaration.
 Of this little fact Miss Olivia, who was la girl of spirit, made no mention to her family. But she remembered 1t of Mr. Slope and watched for an opportunity to pay him off.
 This, of course, happened before Dr. Proudie had been elevated to the bishop rtc

 MT Slope lectured the whole grave Ind reverend clergy of the cathedral; he bore heavily upon the vicars and curates bf the diocese; he gave them all to un- N herstand that a new order of things had begun; that they now had a master; that reforms and innovations would at once be introdueed-and much more to the |ame effect.
 He spoke, he said by direction of the bishop But, of course, he did not-he Epoke by order of Mrs. Bishop.

JUNEAU WILL
 HAVE FIRE BOAT

The city dads held an interesting meeting last night inasmuch that the first definite step was taken to in. crease the dre.Gghting efficiency of the Juneau department
 After considerable discussion May or Bishop was instructed to order a pump which is to be installed aboard the ferry boat Lone Fisherman, con yerting that vessel into a fire boat.
 Under the arrangement between the city and the ferry company there will be no expense to the city except when the boat is doing actual fire duty. The money for purchasing the pump and needrul adjuncts is expected to be raised outside of the city treasury probably through the action of the commercial club which at a recent meeting appointed committee on that subject with full power to act. Mayor Bishop is a member of that committee and he feels so sure of his ground that he has already mailed an order for the needful apparatus.
 The ordinance relating to the stor- age of oils was put over until a later meeting so that some changes could be made in it's provisions,
 D. W, Burridge and others sent in a petition asking that a light be placed at the foot Of the stairs near east end of Second street which was referred

A BANANA SKIN.

Fake banana companies, according to our consul in Nicaragua, are float ing stock in the United States, where as there are no plantations or ba- nanas with which to support them. There is so much money made in bona ida banana enterprises that it seems easy to deceive thoughless investors. Whether it is a banana enterprise, a mining scheme or a railway project in a distant land, it is well for inves- tors to make a careful investigation before investing their hard-earned cash. Reputable banking houses make a speciality of ascertaining the actual facts concerning new financial undertakings, and wise investors con suit them. The foolish pay a high price for their credulity.

SUMMERS CASE
 IN CIRCUIT COURT

The case of the United States ys, c. Fl. Summers, formerly of Juneau, under sentence of five years for IT, regularities in banking and on appeal from this judicial division was ar gued in the circuit court of appeals at San Francisco, on Oct. 29, District Attorney Rustgard representing the government and L. P Shackleford the defendant.
 Mir shackleford contended in his argument that as the defendant had been indicted on 49 counts the indict- ment, under Carter's Alaska Code, should be dismissed, as that code pro yides that only one count can be re- turned for the same cause, while Dis trict Attorney Rustgard's contention was that the Federal Statutes govern ed and under those statutes, a defend ant may be indicted on any number of counts. A second point raised by Mir Shackleford was tbat the defend ant. Summers, had stood upon his demurrer to the indictments in the district court of this division and had refused to plead, upon the advice of counsel, and he had not been tried by a jury, but the court had passed sentence upon him, and the case therefore, should be reversed. The court of appeals took the case under advisement, and it is not known when a decision may be expected.
 Mir. Summers is now at Ashland, Wis.
