Old Gentleman to Be More Care
full Whom He Rang Up.

A gentleman was staying In an
English provincial town. when he
heard that Mr.. Moneyboy, his partner
in business. was at another town close
by, so he rang up his hotel on the
telephone.

quired.

mo. We don't reserve rooms
here; first come. first served is our
rule" came the sharp and somewhat
airy reply.
He was rather taken back at the
lofty independence they seemed to
revel in in that town.

he will stay with you when he
reaches the town."
IT'S possible he may. But we can't

CHAPTER W.
Mad Anthony.

Beyond the selvage of the sleepy
leafsheltered village a cherry bor-
dered lane met the Red Road. On its
one side was a clovered pasture and
beyond this an orchard. bounded by a
tall hedge of c~lose-clipped box which
separated it from a broad yard where
Inc gray-weathered roof of Rosewood
showed above a group of tulip and
ea'alpa trees. On the sunny steps a
lopeared puppy was playing with a
notified cat.
The front door was open, showing a
nail where stood a grandfather's clock
and a spindle-legged table holding a
ooWl OF potpourri. The timepiece had
landed from a sailing vessel at James
oWn wharf with the household goods
OF that English Garland who had

ume-toned and reminiscent, carrying a
charming sense of peaceful content. of
sehtleness and long tradition. The
uafk polished stairway had at its turn
d square dormer-window which looked
out upon one of the rose-arbors.
Down this stair. somewhat later that
afternoon. came Shirley cambridge,
FOOTED and spurred, the rebellious
Shorls OF her russell hair now as close
" hlleted as a Greek boys. in a short
ulVided skirt of yew-green and a cool

years, refuted by the transparent skin

With a lifting stride, now and then

strip of young forest, and she struck
into this for a short cut. In the depth
she sat down to rest on the sun
,plashed roots of a tree. Leaning back
AGAINST the scanned trunk, her felt hat
fallen to the ground, she looked like
some sea-woman emerging from an
earth.hued pool to comb her hair
against a dappled rock.
She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as a bulldog frisked
over a messy boulder Just In front of
her.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself oil her knees with both arms
outstretched. "oh, you splendid crea-
ture!" she cried, you big. lovely
white darling!"
The dog seemed in no way averse TO
this sensational proceeding. He re-
sponded instantly not merely with tall
vagging, but with ~ecstatic grunts and
growls. Where did you come from7"
she questioned. as his pink tongue
struggled desperately to find a cheek
through the whorl OF coppery hair.

not to be afraid Of"
She petted and fondled the smooth
intelligent muzzle. las II any one

master right on that point" Smiling
to herself, she pulled n of the roses
from her belt, and twisting a wisp of
long grass, wound it round and round
the dogs neck and thrust the ragged
rose-stem firmly through it. Now"
she said, and pushed him gently from
her, go back, sir!"
He whined and licked her hand, but
when she repeated the command, he
turned obediently and left her. A lit
tie way from her he halted, with a
sudden perception Of mysterious pun
ishment, shrugged, sat down, and tried
to reach the irksome grass-wisp with
his teeth. This failing. he rolled Ia
boriously in the dirt.
Then he rose, cast a r~eproachful
glance behind him, and trotted off.

TO the pasture fence and whistled a
peculiar call. 1t was answered by a
low whinny and a soft thud of hoofs,
and a golden-chestnut hunter thrust
a long nose over the bars, faring
hame-lined nostrils to the touch of her

CRUISER BROOKLYN
GOING TO ORIENT
She Will Relieve Saratoga As
Flagship Of American
ASiatic Fleet

Capt. J. II. Dayton, U. s. ~, former
commander Of the cruiser Saratoga of
the Asiatic feet, is a passenger in the
steamer Persia, bound for Washingt ION
under orders. He has been stationed
at Shanghai. The Saratoga is the
flagship of Admiral Albert q. Winter
halter, new commander -in-ehief of the
Asiatic feet.
Captain Dayton said the Saratoga 5
officers and men were waiting word of
the despatch of the cruiser Brooklyn
to relieve the Saratoga. She had been
expected to sail from the Atlantic
Coast about August |, but no word
had been received when he left the
Orient as to whether she had sailed.
She undoubtedly will call here on her
way to the Orient.
The latest Army and Navy journal
received here shows the cruiser Brook
lyn at the navy yard, Philadelphia.
She is first class cruiser, hut has
heavier armament than the Saratoga,
which she will replace. She is 92l5
tons, normal displacement; the Sara,

tons. Their speed is about the same,
t~enty-one knots. The Brooklyn has
eight eight-inch and twelve fve-inch
guns, whereas the Saratoga has four
eight-ihch and ten fve-ineh, besides
