NEVER OVERCOME THIS.
With Some It Porslsss az Mannerlsme|
----YaWn and Handkerchief Of Late
Duke Of Glad.
stones Peculiar Actions. Il;

Persons who are unaccustomed to-
speak In public believe that their
nervousness is soSeay due to their In
experience; and tAat public men can:
make speeches % eooily as they mako
conversation. In some cases this may
be go, but few speakers are ever able
wholly able to cast on their nervous
ness. Sometimes 1t persists only In
the form Of q mannerism, attractive Or
otherwise, but some old parliamentari-
ans never escape from the tremors
and terrors which shook them when:
their maiden speech was delivered.
# The late duke Of Devonshire is. usu-
ally spoken of as the perfect type OF
the impassive Englishman. When he
entered. the house of commons as Lord
CaYendish,, he, distinguished himself
by prefacing his maiden speech with
a prodigious yawn. But he was by no
means as languid in fact as he was
In appearance.
When he rose to speak he would
lean lone arm on the nearest of the
two 1ron-bound boxes on the table be-
tween the front benches. After q
slight hesitation and a few quiet
words, the other hand would steal to
the tail pocket Of his coat and emerge
holding neatly-folded white cambria
handkerchief. Without unfolding IL
he would gently rub tho corners of his
mouth, and this done, the hand, still
holding the handkerchief, would rest
on the hip or be thrown back.
Sitting near him, one could observe
that the grip on his handkerchief
frightened, and that the muscles of the
hand were in continuous action. At
the close Of his speech the hand
opened, and one saw not the clean,
folded cambria handkerchief, but only
q solid, greasy ball, which was quick
ly returned to the pocket. Here was
the safety valve for the impassive no.
bleman's nervousness.
Gladstone was one in whom nery-
BUSINESS had become mannerism.
When he rose to speak he began with
a few gracious words on the speech
which was about to follow, or some
pointed remark as to the character
and importance of the subject. In
his earlier days this was, no doubt
to "get his breath"
His next act was to raise his right
hand over his head with the thumb
bent down and gently scratch his
skull. That is rather common among
public speakers. The third action Of
Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar and
Individual sign. Throwing his arms
downward by his side, he would with
his fingers seize the cuffs of his coat
and draw these down over his shirt
cuffs so as to conceal them complete
~. The ordinary practice Is just the
reverse, the desire being to expose
and not conceal the white linen of
the shirt cuffs. These were the In
variable preludes to the great COM
moner's speeches.-Pall Mall Maga

CHAPTER III.

Brockett returned at one o'clock
accompanied by Ramon Solano. He
lifted the sheets on which he had been
last working from the desk drawer,
and quickly looked them over. All
five of the sheets were In proper
place, but the third carbon from the
top had been removed. and a fresh car
bon substituted.
General Cole, kindly and afYable,
had the boys feeling thoroughly at
home before they had been In his Of
fee for five minutes. The old soldier
was In CHEEKY spirits. and his genial
mood communicated itself to his
young visitors, who--long counted
among the most ardent admirers OF
the general-were at first inclined to
bashfulness when actually in the pres.
ence of their ideal fighter. Solano,
whose father had often spoken OF Gen
eral Cole and his prowess as shown In
the rush up San Juan Hill. was almost
in raptures over the unexpected In.
terview, while Brockett, wondering
much over the events OF the past four
hours, was trying to figure out what
on earth would happen next. He was
not long left is suspense, for the old
warrior plunged into his reasons for
requiring their attendance in his Of
| nee.

Every man has a best girl waiting

him to best girl or else puts him on

There Is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were

when you meet you will both know It.

eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.

Brockett hurried home to break the
strange news to his mother, while So
lano agreed to notify his father that
he had decided to preface his vacation
by few extra weeks of travel, and
| made all possible speed to the nearest
Western Union office. The Cuban
picked up a pad of cable blanks, and
reached for pen. 1t was broken. An.
other pen proved equally useless. and
Solano fumbled In his pocket for a
pencil. A little man seated on the
next stool turned quickly, and prof
fered him an ink-pencil, one of those
annoying contrivances which were In
vented few years ago to displace
both lead pencils and fountain pens
and which are now memory, and
nothing more.

lay" said the little man, amiably. Per

And Solano. as he scrubbed his brief
cablegram, gave thanks, with true
Latin politeness. to the stocky, scar
checked Japanese who had walked
past Brockett and himself the previ
/, GUS evening. When the Cuban left
the telegraph office, the little brown
man caught up the pad of cable
blanks, scrutinized the impressions
