hoped to be eternally inresuscitant;
the droll, the witty woman. to whom
In one mad moment of liberality and
Galahadism he had loaned without Sc
curity one hundred and fifty pounds at
the roulette tables In Monte Carlo;
she, for whom he had always blushed
when he recalled how easily she had
mulcted him! And here she was, Sc.
rene, lovely as ever, unchanged.

Chedsoye. who stood a little behind
her, this is the gentleman I've often
told you about. You were at school
at the time. borrowed a hundred and
fifty pounds Of him at Monte Carlo.
And what do you think? When went
to pay him back the next day, he was
gone. without leaving the slightest
clue to his whereabouts. Isn't that
droll? And to think that l should
meet him here!"
That her name had slipped his
memory. II indeed he had ever known
1t. was true: but one thing fingered
incandescently In his mind, and that
was, he had written her. following
minutely her own specific directions
and inclosing his bankers address In
Paris. Naples and Cairo; and for many
passings Of moons he had opened his
foreign mail eagerly and hopefully.
But hope must have something to
feed upon. and after struggle lasting
two years, she rendered up the ghost.
. . 1t wasn't the loss of money that
hurt; 1t was the finding Of dross metal
where he supposed there was naught
but gold. Perhaps his later shyness
was due as much to this disillusion.

chantress repeated: and George grew
redder and redder under the beautiful
grateful eyes. II must give him draft

Fortune laughed. Somehow the quail.

OF sunlight rips into a fog, suddenly,
stiletto.like. 1t was full OF malice.

II any one wronged George, defraud.

perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not sign Of weakness, but
Of n sense Of Justice too well leavened

as much as In the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose In perspec.
tive. Now, It might be that this charm.
Ing woman had really never received
his letter; such things have been
known to go ptray. In any case he
could not say that he had written.
That would have cast a doubt upon
her word, an objectionable rudeness.
So. for her very beauty alone, he gave
her the full benent Of the doubt.

1t was well worth while, that hun.

worth the pinch here and the pinch
there which had succeeded that loan.
For he had determined to return to
America with pound or two on his
letter Of credit. and the success Of
this determination was based upon
many a sacrifice In comfort, sacrifices
he had never contlded to his parents.
1t was not In the nature Of things to
confess that the first woman he had

The echo Of 1t still rang In his ears.
And while he could not have described
It. he knew instinctlvely that It had
been born Of bitter thought.

hour or more. and managed famously.
1t seemed to him that Fortune Ched.

Two distinct purposes controlled the
women In this instance. One desired
to interest him. while the other sought
to learn whether he was stupid or only

1t appeared to him a. a bright idea,
and he was rather proud Of 1t. Even
now he was conscious Of clenching his
teeth strongly. It's an old saying that
he goes farthest who shuts his teeth
longest. He was going to test the pre-.
cept by immediate practice.
He had stood before the list fully
three minutes. Now he turned about

blood. Once he set his mind upon a

 The report that Capt Bob Plumb was about to cash in is premature, that is, Capt. Bob says so, which is enough for most anyone who knows the veteran-and who does not know Bob Plumb, steward, chef and racon- teur. The lower dock would slip into the river were he to depart.
 Capt. John Bond is preparing to erect an appropriate stone over the remains of "Gyp,'' the famous pony which was for years the captains con stant companion. Gyp was shot sew eral months ago to mercifully end his troubles. Gyp- holds the sole record of successfully disputing the right of way with a freight train. This was some thing like 25 years ago and Capt. John was in the buggy. Gyp usually went about as he pleased and Capt. John was the only person who could coax the old mustang to do anything con- trary to his wishes. On this momen- tous occasion Gyp defied Capt. John and made up his mind he would go home, choosing the railroad track as the shortest cut from Bridgeport. The freight appeared, but Gyp refused to turn out and the freight could not, So Gyp with his master and the buggy was unoeremoniously dumped into the ditch. The buggy was reduced to kind1ing, but neither Gyp nor Capt. Bond was injured beyond a few scratches. Gyp evidently learned a lesson right there, for he never at- tempted to trespass on railroad prop erty again.

What is undoubtedly the most re- rnarkable topical film ever brought to this country reached New York a few days ago from London. This film COW cred the recent Derby Dace at Epson Downs in which Emily Davison, a militant suffragette, threw King Georges horse and sustained fatal in turies. On this occasion the picture company had fifteen camera men sta toned on the course. two being 1ocat- ed at the famous Totenham Corner. This is the most interesting spot in the whole Derby course, and here 1t was that Miss Dawson chose to sacri- ice her life in order to call attention to the cause she advocated. As the horses rounded Totenhan Corner, two camera men were busily grinding out f1Irn In their pictures the first batch of horses goes laundering by; sudden Iy a woman in dark clothes springs from the rail and as the last three horses appear, quickly grabs the bri- de of the Kings entry, throwing the horse a complete somersault. precipf- tatfng the jockey headlong through the air, falling herself under the hoofs or the horse which followed.
