OVERLAPPING THE ANGLER,
Former New York Steamboat Will
Replace the River Queen.

Mechanics are aboard the steamer
Angler. belonging to the Independent
Steamboat and Barge Company. over
hauling her boiler and machinery. and
making her ready for excursion work
on the Potomac in the coming spring
and summer The Angler was brought
here during the past summer to take
the place Of the steamer River Queen in
the colored excursion business, running
to Washington Park and other places on
the river. She was formerly used to
take fishermen from New York out to
the fishing banks, and Is an able, speedy
side-wheel boat 1t is probable that she
will make her first trip in the latter part
of April or early in May.
Boilermakers will also this week start
upon the rebuilding of the boilers Of the
steamer Trenton. which is to be used
on a route between this city and Posey's
wharf, in Chicomuxen creek.
The boiler Of the tug George w. Pride.
one of the sand-towing fleet, is also
being rebuilt at the wharf Of her owners
on the Eastern branch.

SCHOONER BEING REBUILT.
Owners Expect to Have Her Ready
for Service in Spring.

The work OF rebuilding the two-masted
river schooner Adele Stefhns. belonging
to M. c. Clarke and e. M. Hall of this
city. which is in progress at the wharf
foot of 10th street southwest. is being
hurried, as it is the intention of her own
ers to put her in service as soon as the
ice gets out of the river and danger OF
another freeze Is past.
The vessel is receiving new decks. new
rail and other work is being done to her
as she lies in the dock. and as soon as
she can be taken to marine railway she
will be hauled out for new timbers and
planking where needed Although the
Steff1ns is one of the oldest boats in &C
tive service on the river it is stated that
her hull is in good condition and when
the repairs on her are completed she will
be good for many more years of service
with the wood and lumber fleet. She was
until about two years ago employed on
the bay and was owned in Baltimore.
About year ago she was purchased by
her present owners. and it Is stated that
she has paid for herself in freights in
that time.

TWO BOATS CAPSIZED.
Pleasure Vessels Sink When Ice
Goes Out of the Harbor.

Two small pleasure craft, which have
been anchored out in the harbor since
the close Of the excursion season, have
been made victims by the ice, and are
lying capsized waiting for their owners
to come and raise them Both vessels
are sloop-rigged flatties, and one has
turned bottom UP and the other is lying
on her side. with the tip of the mast
and a small part Of the hull showing
above the water. When the ice was
broken up in the harbor and began to
drift out it pulled the oakam out of the
seams of the boats and this caused them
to fill and turn over They can be
floated without much difficulty, as the
harbor just now is practically free Of
ice.
Except for a few broken pipes, which
burst when they froZe, these are the
only boats in trouble in the harbor, but
on the Eastern branch several power
launches and other small craft have sunk
since the freeze began.

Court OF Appeals Of the District Of CO.

he bore was one Of the best known IN
Eng and. and that his father must. as
matter Of fact. have been own brother
to the Earl Of Radcliffe. So he wrote
to Uncle Rad"
Louisa was silent She was absorbed
in thought, and for the moment Luke
had come to the end Of what he had to
say-Or, rather, Of what he meant to say
just now. That there was more to come.
Louisa we'll knew. Commonplace women
have way of intuitively getting at the
bottom of the thoughts of people for
whom they care. Louisa guessed that be-
meath Luke's levity and his scbool-boyish
slang-which grew more apparent as the
man drew to the end Of his narrative
that beneath his outward flippancy there
lay a deep substratum Of puzzlement and
anxiety.
The story as told by Luke sounded
crude enough, almost melodramatic. right
out Of the commonplace range of Louisa's
usual everyday life. While she sat lis
tening to this exotic tale Of secret and
incongruous marriage. and of those
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which
had seemed SO remote when she had read
about them nine years ago in the news
papers, she almost thought that she must
be dreaming; that she would wake up
presently In her bed at the Langham
Hotel. where she was staying with aunt.
and that she would then dress and have
her breakfast and go out to meet Luke,
and tell him all about the idiotic dream
she had had about an unknown heir to
the earldom of Radcliffe. who was a
negro-or almost so-and was born In
country where there were volcanoes and
earthquakes.
How far removed from her at this mo-
ment did aunt seem. and father and the
twins! Surely they could not be OF the
same world as this exotic pretender to
Uncle Radclyffe's affection, and to Luke s
hitherto undisputed rights And as fRther
and aunt and Mabel and Chris were very
much alive and very real. then this So
called Philip de Mountford must be
creature Of dreams.
'Or else an impostor."
She had said this aloud, thus breaking
in on her own thoughts and his. A feel
ing of restlessness seized her now. She
was cold. too for the April breeze was
biting and had searched out the back Of
her neck underneath the sable stole and
caused her to shiver in the spring sun
shine.
LET US walk" she said. "a little-shall
we?"

PARACHUTE JUMP FATAL.
Device Fails When Inventor Jumps
From Eiffel Tower.

PARIS. February 5.-An Austrian tailor
named Reichelt was killed yesterday
while testing an automatic parachute cape
intended for the use of aviators. The
contrivance was his own invention, and
Reichelt was authorized by the police to
carry out tests with a dummy first from
stage on Eiffel tower. Having absolute
faith, however, in the efficacy of his in
vention, Reichelt secretly determined to
dispense with the dummy and make the
experiment in person. He rapidly donned
the garment and leaped into space before
he could be stopped.
For some reason the cape failed to open
and Reichelt dropped like a stone. A
great crowd that had gathered at the
base of the tower burst into jeers when
they saw what they believed to be the
dummy drop. Their mirth suddenly
changed to CONSERVATION when they rea-
liked that it was, the inventor himself
Hardly q bone in his body was left un-
broken.

CHAPTER ~.
Nothing Really Tangible.

They walked up the graveled walk under
the chestnut trees, whereon the leaf buds,
luscious looking, with their young green
surface delicately tinged with pink. looked
overready to burst into fan-shaped full
ness of glory. The well kept paths the
orderly flower beds and smoothly trimmed
lawns looked all SO simple, SO obvious
beside the strange problem which rate
had propounded to these two young peo-
pie walking up and down side by side
and with just q certain distance between
them, as if that problem was keeping
them apart.
And that Intangible reality stood be-
tween them, causing in Luke vague
sense Of shamefacedness. as II he were
guilty toward Louisa, and in her feel,
ing Of irritation against the whole world
around her, for having allowed this mon
strous thing to happen-this vague
shadow on hfes pathway. on the life OF
the only man who mattered.

bowler hats pulled over frowning brows,
boys with caps carelessly thrust at the
back Of their heads, girls with numbed
fingers thrust in worn gloves. tip-tilted
noses blue with cold. thin, ill-ftting
clothes scarce shielding attenuated Shout
ders against the keen spring blast.
Just the humdrum, everyday crowd OF
London-the fighters, the workers. toiing
against heavy odds of feeble health. In
sufficient food scanty clothing; the poor
that no one bothers about, less interest
ing than the unemployed laborer, less pic
turesque, less noisy, they passed and had
no time to heed the elegantly clad figure,
wrapped in costly furs. or the young man
in perfectly tailored coat, who was even
now preparing himself for a fight with
destiny, beside which the daily struggle
for halfpence would be but mere
skirmish.
Instinctively they knew-these two-the
society girl and the easy-going wealthy
man-that it was reality with which they
would have to deal. That instinct comes
with the breath Of fate-a warning that
her DEGREES are serious. not to be lightly
set aside. but pondered over; that her ma
terialized breath would not be a phantom
or a thing to be derided.
Truth or imposture? Which?
Neither the man nor the girl knew as

They walked on for awhile In silence.
had warned them that their stay in the
park had been unduly prolonged-there
were social duties to attend to. calls to
make, luncheon with Lord Radcliffe at
Grosvenor Square.
So they both by tacit consent turned
their steps back toward the town.
A man passed them from behind, walk
ing quicker than they did. AS he passed
he looked at them both intently. as II de-
sirous Of arresting their attention. OF
course, he succeeded. for his look was al
most compelling. Louisa was the first
to turn toward him, then Luke did like

spectfully with slight inclination Of
head and shoulders that suggested for
efgn upbringinE.
Once more convention stepped in and
Luke mechanically returned the salute.
