"Who Is she?'
Mrs. Barnabetta Burgoyne."
"She Is the most beautiful woman
/ have ever seen" pronounced Wayne
BatchfOrd, only humdrum law clerk,
but artistic, temperamentally poetic,
and. therefore, susceptible to strong
Impressions.
He had paused in q casual stroll
through the little inland city of Wal
than to observe the occupant of a
modest but expensive automobile. The
car was standing at the curb, its
chauffeur evidently having been sent
on some mission TO one of the stores
on this, the principal street OF the
town. A young lady sat in q some
what rigid pose, her face statuesqge in
its classic beauty. What struck
Blatchford was that, while TO ordinary
eyes, this superb figure would have
suggested the cold hauteur Of an aris-
tocrat, seeking the depths of her eyes
he noted a hidden trace of sadness,
subtle, ineffable.
More than that, he discovered that
while humble passersJy bowed to her
with irtinite respect, those in passing
automobiles of higher social prestige
either greeted her not at all or with a
scant civility, and the lips of the peer
less creature fluttered tremuIously at
the fact as though she felt deeply the
contempt, or obloquy, expressed.
Then the chauffeur returned and the
automobile sped away, leaving Batch
ford like one in a passing trance. He
aroused himself with an effort.
'Burgoyner" he repeated vaguely.
"Wherc have | heard that name be-
fore? All ] fancy an old historical
"Reminiscences"
Wayne Blatchford did not meet the
young lady again during the next two
days, but he did not forget her. Then
his interest in her was revived by u
strange circumstance. He was stroll
ing through the beautiful cemetery ut
the edge Of the city one afternoon,
when he observed a high, massive
shaft bearing the name 'Bursoyne.'

True Good Nature.

Good nature does not mean easy,
happy o-lucky or to loaf when the
employer is away, and a squirt when
he IS present. a crouchy spirit on the
part of the employees, a feeling that
they do not want TO DO any more than
is absolutely necessary, has doubtless
forced many an institution to the wall,
and this INDECENT spirit usually exists
among employees where the boss man
is too exaeting and overbearing. Good
service comes from a desire to do the
right thing, whether the owner Of the
business be present or thousands Of
miles away The man who is q real
cheerful and good natured Is one Of
the noblcst works of Gods creation
Pennsylvania Grit.

Biggest Warship Building Program In

Apology Accepted.

There is a good story of J. M. Bar
RE in Douglas Sladen's "Twenty
Years Of Ny Life"
It appears that the talented author
Of ''The Little Minister" having prom
Used to be present at a dinner Of the
Authors club was late, for which he
apologized.
He had, he explained, been to the
wrong club. He had never been to
the Authors before, he said, SO he
asked policeman the way.
From the way he pronounced the
word, the policeman thought he meant
Arthur's club, and to Arthur's accord
ingly Barrie was directed.
When he got there he found it a very
grand place. The club porter looked
him up and down, and said:
"The servants entrance is round the
corner"
It took the normal courage Of
Scotsman (adds Mr.. Sladen) to tell
that story; but it was inimitably
funny, told in Barrie's broad Doric.-

Paris, Oct. 11.-Now that the first
results of the inquiry opened in Amer

with Germany are becoming known
here, it seems evident that Bolo did
not have any connection with the Ger

America.
In this connection, Charles Hum

Bolo had not a cent when he discussed
