The sty was blue, the oceau bluer,
?ind, Dorothy's eyes the fairest blue of
alL Tho sand was white,' the breeze
caressing, nnd Dorothy sixuned unuau
jilly susceptible. I judged lt to'be aa
Auspicious time to declare ruy feelings,
so t ijegau: . * ,\ ;.
'{Dorothy, dear] I have wealth through
no fault of iny o wu, social status ditto
and a moderately good disposition. I
love you. Will you mar"
TO i my surprise. Mistress Dorothy
spradg to her knees, crying, "Don't,
.don't!" aud clapped her small hand
over my mouth.
'.Very well, then, I won't," I said to
tho circumstances.
"Oh, but I want you to!" was tho
next astounding development, while
she .imnnrvl down ea the sand ?g?iui, |
bowed her hoad and wept.
I thought I was used to Dorothy's
moods, but I realized then that my
knowledge concerning them, was small.
?AJ? I didn'c know what else to do, I
Just sat still. Finally she raised her
head from the sanctuary of her banda
and looked at mo reproachfully^
"Oh, George, I've been walting a
twbole year to hear you say it, and now
rwhy couldn't you have said it differ
ently?"
I sat up a little, straighter. "How
should you wish mo to approach the.
eubject?" I inquired coldly.
, "Of course you don't understand,
poor boy I" she sighed, poking back be
hind her pink ear a little damp brown
?url. -"I have a chum at home,-and
?we were always thlnlilng of something.
?that no one else would. , Qna day she
isaid, -'Let's mako vows.' So wo each
jtook a piece of paper and wrote on it
ia vow which , we were bound to keep
Of we were-^were-hung for it, .Nell's

f*Wbat was y ?arar"
Z "I vowed' 1 ? wouldn't marry a man
(who didn't propose te me In a way no
other man ever did."
"Byer proposed to you ?'? I asked jeal
ously. . ' :
? "No, nol Ever proposed to unybody.
I vowed, so I have to keep lt. .Oh,
?George, I've Just lived to have you say
lt in some strange woy I"
"There's no law against a fellow's
proposing twice, ls there?" 'I,asked,
i She looked up eagerly. "Oh, you
?navenft said it yet. you know. I stop
bed you. Do you suppose you could
(think of pome original way?"
I "Well, I'll try mighty hard. But what
ia fool thing for you to do anyway !" \
i: "I know it?'' 8he acknowledged,W!th
unusual meekness. '
As our afternoons at santa Monica
were devoted to the surf? wo met again
In.front of! the bath house and hand in
hand ; walked toward the seething
breakers. She looked moro charming
(than ever In her black suit, banded
pwlih-'-Snnmei, ?S? 'a Scarlet handker
chief knotted about her email head.
"Heavens, Dorothy, how I love youl"*
il exclaimed ns. wo emerged from our
plunge through tho first swelL
..And I love you, too, dear," she mur
mured, coloring a little. "You will find
?some way, won't you?"
; "Yes, if I have to pick you. up some
jday and run off with you." .
I 4*Th&.t wouldn't do. Some of th? Rav

And before sJUojCOjUd do anything but
steroot inc ina half frightened, wholly
charming way I had caught the down
car and waa out of ber eight.
Once the ear reached Loa Angeles I
was out, tearing along the sidewalk; to
the courthouse, where the smiling coun
ty clerk favored mo with tho precious
bit of paper which would allow me to
wed my Dorothy?
"Do you know anything about any
of tho preachers in this town?" I asked,
wiping my perspiring forehead.
His smile broadened. "Well, if It ls
a runaway mate'? I shouldn't advise
you to tackle tho Methodist. A trifle
narrow ls Mr."
"It isn't a runaway match," I an
swered hastily, "but for certain rea
sons, I want tho services of a young
man."
"Mr. B. of thc Unitarian ls abcut
your age, I should judge."
"lie's tho man. Wrhero can I find
him?"
After getting definite directions I fled
down tho courthouse steps. I found
Mr. B" who when he had heard my
story laughed immoderately, but, as I
thought a young man would, consent
ed to go with me. Consequently the
last car for Altadeua and Mjunt Lowe
found us on boaijd, together with a
huge, awkward parcel which 1 had
purchased on the way to the station.
As the car roached Echo mountain J
found a laughing, much larger crowd
than we had started with and in their
. midst Dorothy, looking most uncom
fortable, but holding In her little hands
a bouquet of Indian paint brush, the
gorgeous coloring. matching well the
hue of her own sweet cheeks.
"They've surmised something," I
whispered to my companion. "Well,
the moro the merrier, I' suppose; kind
of tough on us, though."
: At which speech I thought the min
ister was going to disgrace bis cloth
again by unseemly levity. Tue crowd
drew back a little as I. advanced to
ward Dorothy and introduced the rev
erend gentleman. I tucked her little
trembling hand under my arm, and,
with my great parcel under the other,
the minister discreetly leading, and aft
er us the crowd, though uot fully un
derstanding the play, we wended our
way toward the cannon, mounted and
ready for business.
^ I dropped DoUy's hand, tore the pa
per wrapping from my megaphone and
put it to my lips.
"Dorothy I" I shouted, and first thia
hill, then that, here, there, yonder, re
peated her sweet name.
I raised it to my lips again, and "Bo
mine!" sang out the hills. Then I laid
it on the ground and held out my
hand, while the women smiled and tho
men tossed up their hats in delight
The situation was suvore, but my Dor
othy was game. Blushing, tearful^ yet
h?ppy withal-, she gave mo her hand,
and th? minister stepped forward with
his little book.
General Hamilton'? Orders.
In the Boer war one of thc columns,
in if Canadian and half regular, under
.General Ian Hamilton, became so no
torious for looting that the soldiers were
nicknamed "Jije ThousandThieves."
Consequently General Hamilton re
view^?-th?m one day. jul' a small Yillnge
near Bloemfontein, says the writer of
"Some South African Beirtnlscences,"
for the purpose of warning them
against any future depredations.
The column had J ust drawn up and
; was waiting for the; general. to begin
the review wli?n a ragged, rooster ran
out from a hut and across the front of
the Une. . Suddenly a private left the
line and ran after the rooster.
"Haiti" shouted Hamilton. .
The soldier ran on. He soon overtook
the rooster and turned back, , wringing
'the neck of the fowl. As he passed the
general he noted tho fierce scowl on bis
face. The soldier, an Irish Canadian,
was not easily daunted,' b?t this time
he : temporized., Throwing the defunct
tweeter at the feet of the general, he
said, "There, now; V\\ tacho ye t? halt
whin the gineroi says aol"
At which the column roared with
laughter, and. even the general smiled/
and the- soldier got only two days' im
prisonment for on?Xof the most bare

A HISTORIC JOURNEY
CAESAR' ROONEY'S GREAT HORSE
BACK RIDE IN 1776.
HUTT the Declaration of Independ
ence Was Saved by n Vote In ?he
Session of the Provisional Cou ?ress
In Philadelphia.
lt hnpi>ouod ou that famous Fourth
of July, 1770, tho day ou which tho
American colonies were declared free
and Independent states. If Caesar Rod
ney had not mada his historic rldo there
might not have beeu any freo America
today.
The provisional congress was lu ses
sion at Philadelphia, each of the thir
teen colonies Laving representatives
there. It was a grout congress, uud a
momentous question was before the
distinguished body. The great charter
of our freedom bad been written by
Jefferson, aud Benjamin Hnrrisou, fa
ther and great-grandfather of presi
dents, bad presented it to congress on
Monday, July 1. What would tho Con
tinental congress do? !
lu order that our country should be
free and Independent the declaration
must be adopted. This could be doue if
only tlie colonies were divided, and
there were some good men who did uot
believe it best to toko this step ut this
time. Four of tho seven delegates of
Pounslyvaula were opposed to it, and,
of tho two Delaware delegates present,
Thomas McKean was tu favor of Inde
pendence, but George Read was op
posed to tho measure. Caesar Roduey,
the other member, was in the southern
part of his state lu tho capacity of a
brigadier geueral, organizing and drill
ing troops for the coming struggle,
Two of tho opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded to absent
themselves, and thus tho Keystone
State would favor the declaration, but
tho voto of Caesar Roduey was neces
sary to carry tue state of Delaware.
A messeuger was dispatched in bot
haste to summon him to Philadelphia,
and then for four days tho "patriots
of '70" talked and maneuvered to de
lay tho final vote. On Thursday, July
4, congress was to vote on the mo
mentous question.
On the afternoon pf the 3d the
messenger found Caesar Rodney in
Susses county, more than eighty miles
from Philadelphia. Geueral Rodney
was at that time forty-six years old.
with a tall, lean, worn figure, his face
scarred by a cancer that was Anally
to cause his death. The brave patriot
did not hesitate. "Saddle the black!"
be commanded, and in ten minutes be
had mounted his faithful steed and
was galloping as if for Ufo to tho
northward.
Eighty miles away from congress,
which was waiting for him to declare
the independence of the colonies. The
thought caused him to drive his spurs
deep hito bis horse's flanks and sent
him flying along tho long, dusty high
way that stretched away toward the
Quaker City, it was one of the great
rides of history. That black steed
bore the destinies of America, dnd his
rider knew it, and, there was neither
halt nor delay.. *
Tho-~\n went down, and the stars
came out one by ono in the blue vault
of heaven, and thnt solitary rider rush
ed on bia. way. Ail through the cool
summer night Caesar Rodney kept up
his reckless pace.
The stars faded out of the morning
sky, and the sun cpme up red and. fiery,
the herald of a sultry day. And still
Caesar .Roduey kept on his way. He
was yet many" miles from Philadelphia.
His horse was jaded, and bo. was travel
worn and covered with dust, but the
patriot did not slacken his! rein! He
must be there to vote for the iud inn'mi
ehco of America. And ho was there.
All I that bot, '' awelterlrict jfaiy . doy; the* *
delegates bf tho colonial congress were
miking' ?and voting' Jh Independence
hall. The session bad begun.. The. pres
ident, John. Hancock, was in tho chair,
abd the derk, John : Dickinson, was
calling the colonies .?ne by one. Vb>
glnia had voted and Massachusetts and
the great stoto of New York and tho
little state of Rhode Island, and now
Now Jersey was voting, and Caesar
Rodney had not come;
Anxious; and ? t worried. Thomas Mc
Kean went out to the door of Inde
pendence bat?. Would bis friend and
compatriot. be toe? hitor HIS ? face,
brightened os bo beard the sound of
hurrying hoof beats coming up Chest-,
nut ?tr?yt A foam-g, panting iSiwu
dashed into tho yard. . Its dusty rider
len ped'io' tho ground.-. Booted and spm>
red and thu dust of his long ride thick
on his long flapped coat and iron gray
hair, Caesar Rodney entered the hali of
congress: ;llc^mJng : on his': friend Mc
Kean's arm. , g Y *'r * .?:>.?.

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Dueling aa It Wa? In Frunce In tbe
Time of nicbelleo.
Tho passlou ' for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between
7,000 and 8,000 lives during the twenty
years of Henry IV.'s reign, was :V9 its
height when his 6on carno to tho
throue. Tho council of Trent in 1545
had solemnly condemned the practice
of single combat, Jmpurtialiy iuolud
ing principals, seconds and spectators
In its penalty of excommunication. In
1002 an edict of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom of dueling Intro
duced by tho corruption of the cen
tury" to be the cause of BO ninny pite
ous accidents, to the extreme regret
and displeasure of the king ?nd to the
irreparable damago of tho state, "that
we shou'd count ourselves unworthy
to hold .ho scepter if wo delayed to
repress tho enormity ci* this crime."
A wholo series of edicts followed to
the same effect, but lt was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them.
Degradation, imprisonment, coutlsea
tiou of property, loss of civil rights
and death were tho penalties attached
to the infringement of the laws against
dueling, and still tho practice pre
vailed. In 1C2G Richelieu published a
milder form of prohibition. Tho first
offense was no longer capital, a third
only of tho offender's property was to
be confiscated, and the judges wero
permitted to recognize extenuating cir
cumstances. .. .
A few mouths later the Comte de
Boutevllle thought fit to test tho min
ister's patience lu this direction. Tho
Place Royalo had long been u favorite
dueling ground, and Do Boutevllle
traveled from Brussels to fight his
twenty-second duel here, lu tho heart
of Paris, in deliberate defiance of tho
king's authority. Tho result was not
encouraging. Montmorency though he
was, the count went with his second
to the scaffold, and the marked de
crease from that time in the number
of duels may be attributed either to
tho moderation used In framing the
law or to the inexorable resolution
with which lt was enforced.-Macmil
