BUSDJESS."
Mr. Percival Hoaghton was standing
near tho door in tho Panltons' drawing
room.
Houghton was not a very -popular
member of his Bet on account of a peril
ous faculty he had of avoiding all so
cial functions. He was to he found at
the Panltons' today well, if the mat
ter were probed to tho bottom, priuci
pally because he was an old friend of
the family and Jack Paul ton had re
minded him ho must not send a refusal
at the peril of a serious breach in their
friendship.
Some one plucked his sleeve. It was
his hostess.
"You remind me very much, " said
Mrs. Paulton, "of a statue I once saw
of Achilles, I think it was Why this
heroic abstractedness?"
Houghton had not yet spoken of his
embarrassment when she put an end to
it prettily, sparing him tho auditional
confusion of an explanation.
"Come, lt us descend to things more
substantial than dead heroes, if not less
poetical. I have a pleasant surprise in
store for you."
"Indeed!"
" Yes. Let mo fetch you to an old
friend just returned from over tho sea
Miss Alice Coat es. "
She conducted him to the damsel in
question and left them together.
"I'm heartily glad to see you again,
Hiss Coates," said Houghton, a trifle
awkwardly.
"You may call me Alice, as you di
before I went abroad," said tho girl
with whom Mrs. Paulton had left him,
and then mischievously, "though I am
quite grown up now, you see."
"Dear me, yes; quite grown up. Do
you remember our chats, when we used
to poke fun at the courtly old dames at
your mother's 'at homes?' I havo never
found congenial company since yon
-vent abroad, and I havo gone out of
society entirely become a kind of com
mercial anchorite."
"How fortunate you are But then
you never really cared for society, did
you?"
"No, indeed, nor did you. Aro your
ideas unchanged, Alice?"
"Well, in a way. I still think, as you
used to say, tho world would be better
off if itdid not triflo with precious time.
Yet and I know you will pardon me
I am surprised to find you single. Is it
possible there has boon no one charming
enough to break through the pessimistic
ice of your nature?"
"No one, indeed. But though I will
not bo so vain as to say it is entirely,
yet I will be bold enough to say to my
old confidant it has been largely duo
to the fact tnat I have not had the timo
to devote to lovemaking. And, you
know, it takes a great deal of gadding
about before a man may even ovidence
his affections slightly. "
"That's very true."
"Now, don't you think yourself that
tho conventional wooing is a very lam.-,
entable sacrifice of time?"
!'If the woman in mo decides, no;
but if I persevere along strictly common
sense lines, perhaps yes."
"How charming you are! Jove! Yo
have not changed a jot, Alice, siucq
your hair; baa" peen turned up and yoq
have donned the harness of scciai slav:
pry. But, to continue our subject, I
honestly think this business of lovo and
marriago might be expedited, for in-.
etaupOj in the commercial way. A man,
pomes into my office with a proposition
that is almost as important to me as 6,
marriage, for it affects my life's affairs
very radically. He wants an answer
that same day immediately, if possible.
True, I take, say, half an hour or an
hour to turn the matter over in my
mind and view it in every light. As a,
rule, in that length of time I have come
to a satisfactory cpncjusiop, Now, if I
could find a woman to whom I might
eay: 'Here, let us expedite matters. Let
tis get this preliminary business of love
making over immediately and como to
tho point without further ado' Of
course it should be some one with whom
one is rather well acquainted, as, for
instance, you and I"
"Mr. Houghton!" i
"JChero, there; you see heresy will ,
crop out even in an old adherent- Lef
me continue. I take out my watch this
way and say: 'It is just 10 o'clock now,"
Alice. I love you very dearly. Will you
parry me tomorrow?' "
1 'How charmingly pulQue."
"That's right So it is, perhaps, ri
diculous, and I shall have to turn in
again on my poor, old lonely soul no
one understands. "
f 'But my dear friend, am I to believe
your peculiar theories carry you serious
ly so far as that?"
'"f'l am profoundly in earnest My 'af
fairs of business are so absorbing that I
pandidly can give no time to lovemakt
'Then yon deserve never to get a
wife, if you cannot sacrifice your busi
ness for hei Why, lovemaking is the
best part of a woman's life.1
"Ah, well! I had expected to find in
you, if not a firm believer in my theo
ries, at least a strong sympathiser. That
settles -it. Yon are the last straw. I
shall never marry. "
AikSG Tjf otKirs&y might bxma turned
the conversation into other channels,
but somohow she did not feel that she
wanted to do so.
"Well, supposing, Mr. Houghton,"
she began, alter a pause, "I should say
in the rustic fashion: 'I love you alio
very dearly. I am willing?' "
Though she tried to say this with ad
mirable simplicity her face flashed in
spite of her.
Houghton noticed the blnsh, and
straightway becamo himself excited,
yet without betraying it
"Good," said he. "I Ehonld say:
'And now, if you will excuse me, I
shall speak with your father. Ho is
here, I understand?' "
Then, taking out his watch, "It is
now 15 minutes to 10. "Where's your
father?"
"I think he is" and never, nntil
her dying day, will she understand how
these words escaped her with Mich per
fect inconsequence "I think he is in
the library with Mr. Paulton."
Hoaghton arose, and, putting the
watch back into his pucker, made as to
go away.
Miss Coates caught his sleeve. She
was trembling, and the smiles had died
out of her face. Said she: "Oh, Percy!
I mean Mr. Houghton don't be so
foolish. He will think you are insane."
He drew the sleeve away gently. "Bo
careful, Alice," said ha "We are at
tracting attention. Don't make a scene. "
The next moment he was gone, and
in a daze of excitement and coufnsion
Alice hurried to the conservatory and
dashed in among the palms.
When Houghton walked into the li
brary, ho found Alice's father and Jack
Paulton smoking and chatting listless
ly. "Major Coates, I have just proposed
to your daughter, and she ha3 accepted
me. Are you willing we should be mar
ried tomorrow?''
The cigar fell from tho lips of the
major, and he looked in blank amaze
ment first upon h:a interrog iior at-1
then upon Paniton, with a slight ques
tioning asp! m the la?t plauce. Paul
ton burst oit laughing, and the major
turned again to Hoaghton helplessly
and said :
"Percy, my boy, havo you lost your
senses?"
"True," the other answered, draw
ing a chair up to the table, "this re
quires some explanation. Doesn't it?'
Then he told them of tho conversa
tion between himself and Alice as well
as explaining incidentally many of hia
views of life which bore directly and
some even which had no bearing at all
upon the subject at present of vital in
terest "But Alice?" said the major. "I can
not beliovo sho is a party to such wild
plans."
"Oh, yes, I know "she will be agree
able, " answered Houghton. "She has
said so."
"Yet I am suro she will have
changed her mind by this time. She has
had timo to think it over collectedly.
I'll go and ask her."
"No,"pr;in Paulton, rising. "Let
me do that for you."
"I'll give you just three minutes,
Jack," said Houghton. London Sun.
Costly IJottlo of Champagne.
Some years ago Mr. Gladstone had
met a possible claimant for a civil list
pension whom he believed to be in suf
ficiently poor circumstances and had
almost decided to grant it when he re
ceived an invitation to dinner with the
person in question. This raised some
doubt in his mind. On tho one hand,
should a civil list pensioner bo able to
afford to entertain? On the other hand,
it might only be a dinner of herbs, and
it seemed hr J to deprive a public bene
factor of a pension because he was ready
to share his crust and water. Knowing
that in any caso there would be a feast
of reason and a flow of soul, Mr. Glad
stone accepted the invitation, and on
tho way propounded to his companion
the following test: "No champagne,
pension; champagne, no pension
There was champagne, and the ho3t lost
his pension. It was the dearest bott'e
of wine on record, for it cost the pur
chaser 100 a year." London News.
Prentiss and Ills Wit.
Sargent S. Prentiss was a great law

times excessive, never obscured his ora

Hq was once engaged "iii a political
discussion on "the stnmp" with a gen

"against time" so that Prentiss might
speak at a disadvantage. It was nearly
dark when Prentiss rose, and the iame
moment a jackass in a neighboring
pound began braying and kept it up un

his opponents delighted. When the jack
ass stopped, Prentiss, casting a comical
look r.t his unfair aijtagouisj, said:

Nature dishonored by the raco she bore.
The fools of knowledce, slaves of liberty;
Art that profanes the nuptial sanctuary,
Where truth and beauty wod f rt-rerm- re:
Lovo that casts down the vestal veil sho wore,
To join earth's Bacchic festival and flee
With the wild Mamads, in their wstusy,
By charmed mountain peak and desert shore
How long shall these things bo? Till life's new
wine
Is drunk to the last dregs of shamo and wrong
Till love arises, beautiful, austere,
And purified by faith and reverent fear
Till man looks God ward and the word divino
Goes forth once more to cleanse the world
how long?

A SINGULAR GUEST.
Mr. Henry App3 cf Hoxton completed
tho fixing of tho wires cn the lawn of
Hasleich court He looked up at tho
dim light 4n the dressing room and
chuckled softly as he bent tho last yard
of wire.
"A trip in time," said Mr. Apps,
"sives nine."
Ho threw the ropo ladder gently in
the air, and at the first effort it caught
tho projecting nail.
" 'Once on board the lugger,' quoted
Mr. Apps facetiously as ho mounted the
rope ladder, 'aLd the gurl is mine.' "
He opened- tho window very gently
and soon stood inside the dressing room.
Near tho taule in the corner of the room
was an iron safe.
"Well, I'm jiggered!" exclaimed
Mr. Apps. He loosened the fiap3 of his
fur cap and mopped his brow with tho
back of his hand. "Well, I'm jiggered
if they 'aven't been and left the key in
for me. I might havo sived myself a
lot of trouble if I'd knowed. "
Mr. Apps swung open the heavy door
of the safe and listened to the musio
down stairs. Young Lady Staplehurst
was giving, as Mr. Apps very well
knew, a deuce a fancy dress dance on
i her return from the continent after her
term of widowhood.
"I'll jest sec, first of all," ho said,
"that tho coast is absolutely clear, and
then then for a bagiul. "
Mr. Henry Apps stepped out into the
broad passage. He slouched, with his
jimmy sticking out of his capacious side
pocket, a few steps toward the stairs.
Suddenly a girlish figure turned tho
corner.
"Bless my 'art!" cried Mr.
"Why, how do you do?"
young lady, f-tepping forward,
a soft laugh that was very
"This is really delightful.
Apps.
said tho
Sho gavo
pleasant
Do you
know I recognized you at onco in spite
of the costume?5'
She held tho hand of Mr. Apps for
a moment, causing that gentleman to
gasp for breath, and called ono of the
maids.
"Just bring me a pencil and a card,"
she said. "I must arrange for a car
riago to take Captain Norman back to
his hotel in the morning. I wasn't suro
that he would come."
"I can walk," remarked Mr. Apps
with restorr 1 self possession.
"I won't hear of it When shall wo
say, now?"
"Say in an hour's time," said Mr.
Apps. "I can go up stairs again alone,
change my togs and do all I want to,"
"And can't you stay longer?"
Sho gavo the card to the maid and
ordered it to bo dispatched at once.
"I've got a busy night before me,"
urged Mr. Apps excusingly. He thought
of his dog waiting on the lawn and fear
ed it mipht give an iuopportnue bark.
Besides, the safe was still open, and tho
diamonds were waiting for him. Ee
had noticed with satisfaction Lady Sta
plehurst was wearing none.
"You wero always an activo man,
captain."
"Always doing something," agreed
Mr. Apps. "If it isn't one thing, it's
another." He shook his head reflective
ly. ' 'I of ten wonder I don 't write a book
about it all."
"I don't believe you will know any
body here, Captain Norman," sho said
as they walked down stairs, "but I
couldn't help sending yon a card, see
ing how friendly wo were on the Pe
Ehawur. Do you remember those even
ings on deck in the Bed sea?"
She was really a very fine young
woman, and in her CGstnnje sh8 looked
extremely well,
t'Do I not?" said Mr. Apps with
much fervor. "Shall I ever forget 'em?"
"And then tho journey fnin Brin
disi, you know, and that funny little,
fiermsn vnn rpmpm'hoT lim?"
"Ho wag a knockout, that German
was."'
"And the girl who played tho banjo,
and the"
".It was great," agreed Mr. Apps r
"great"
The large ba.Uroorn was yery full. A
small covey of brightly dressed young
peoplo flew toward the young hostess to
complain of her temporary absence from
the room, and a broad shouldered gon
dolier shook hands with her and took
up her card with something of an air of
proprietorship
"I thought I had left the key in tho
t excuse me." The young hostess took
back her card from the gondolier. "I
am engaged to Captain Norman. Yon
don't know him? Allow me."
"Pleased to5 meet you," Eaid Mr.
Henry Appa. " 'Ow's the world using
fou?"
"That's an original costume of yours,.
Captain Norman, " remarked the gon
dolier. "I don't know that I've ever
seen anything so daringly real before."
"Well, wot of it?"" demanded Mr.
Apps with sudden aggressiveness.
""Wofs; the odds to you wot I like to
wear? You needn't think you're"
"Captain Norman," interposed tho
foung hostess laughingly, "you mustn't :
Dverdo tho part. Look here, I've put
four name down for this waltz, but if
fou like we'll sit it out that is, if you
promise to keep up that diverting east :
Snd talk. I like it Do you think you
;an manage to do so?" ,
VRa-ther," said Mr. Apps. j
"sAncJ it is a capital make up, Cap- '
lain Norman," she went on. "Do you
know tliat at first, just for one moment,
I thought you were a real burglar. "
t?Fancy that now," said Mr. Apps,
He was relieved at seeing an obvious,
way out of his difficulty. "There's
nothing like doing the thing in a prop
er? Btriteforward w'y."
-And," Eaid Lady Staplehurst, with
her fan on his arm as they walked
across the room, "you have got the.
east end accen capitally."
'Taint so dusty, is it?"
She Deckoned to tho gondolier.
"Captain Norman and I are great
friends," she said in an explanatory
wsyi "Bellas not bgeq fcpg hxroofcopi
abroad, and he knows scarcely" any ona.?
"Not a olessed soul," echoed Mr.
Apps.
"You must let me show you round a
bit, Captain Normau," said the gondo
lier with determined geniality. "Can
you come round to my club one night
this week?"
"Whaffor?" demanded Mr. Apps sus
piciously. ' Why, to dine. Say Thursday. '
" 'Eaveu knows where I shall bo on
Fursday," said Mr Apps. "I don't."
" You must consider mo at your dis
posal if yon require any introductions.
I know a good lot of people, and any
friend of Lady Staplehurst's"
"Oh, come off tho roof," said Mr.
Apps with much discontent "Wot'a
the use of torking?"
"Isn't it capital?" asked Lady Sta
plehurst of tho gondolier delightedly.
"How much more interesting it would
be if every one would only talk to mo
in their character."
Lady Staplehurst rose with something
of hurry in her manner and spoke to
Henry VHI.
"What regiment do you belong to,
-Captain Norman?" asked tho gondolier.
"Find out," said Mr. Apps.
"Am I too curious? I know very lit
tle of the army, I'm afraid." The gon
dolier was resolved to be agreeable to
Lady Staplehurst's friend. ' 'I always
dodge the army nights in the house. I
suppose you know several of tho service
members?"
"I know as many as I want to know, "
said Mr. Anns evasively. A man in
my position of life 'as to be a bit careful
who he mixes up with. "
The hostess returned from Henry Vni,
"lean make nothing of this man,"
whispered the gondolier to her as ho
rose. "I think he's silly."
"If you knew his qualities,
wouldn't speak of him like that"
resumed her seat by tho sido of
you
She
Mr.
Henry Apps.
"Well, blow me," said Lady Staple
burst, screwing her pretty mouth in her
effort to imitate the cockney's accent,
"blow mo if this ain't a fair take I
mean tike dahn, " she laughed. "It's of
no use, Captain Norman. 1 can't talk
as you can. "
"It's a gift," said Mr. Apps, "that's
what it is."
"You don't want to be introduced to
anybody here, I suppose?"
"Not me."
"Yon have heard of"
She pointed in tho direction of tha
gondolier.
"All I want to."
"He's really making a big name in
the house, you know. I watch his ca
reer with great interest"
"Thinks a jolly lot of hisself."
"Oh, I think a lot of him, too," re
marked Lady Staplehurst pleasantly.
"And is that a jimmy sticking ont cf
your jacket pocket? This is, indeed,
realism. You don'tknowhow it works,
I suppose?"
"Well, I've got a kind of a hidea,"
said Mr. Apps. "Look 'ere. You put
this end in ;;ud" -
Mr 1 js found himself getting quite
excited in tho explanations that he
gave. It was a new sensation to meet
one who showed an intelligent interest
in his profession, and he could not help
feeling flattered. Looking up, ho saw
the gondolier gazing at him.
"He don't look 'appy, that chap,"
said Mr. Apps.
"Will you exouse me for ono mo
ment?" "Wot are you going up to, miss?" ho
said apprehensively.
"I want to speak to him."
"Oh," with relief, "I don't mind
that."
While Lady Staplehurst was making
the gondolier resume his ordinary ex
pression Mr. Apps thought and thought.
The couples promenading after tho
waltz looked curiously at him.
"It's the mmmiest show you was ev
er in, 'Enery. " said Mr Apps. "You're
a 'avin 'em on toast, you are, but you'll
bo glad to get upstairs again. You want
them diamonds, that's wot you want
Timo means money to you, 'Enery."
Lady Staplehurst harried toward tho
doorway. A murmur of amusement
went through the room as the guests
saw a new arrival in the costume of a
police constable accompanied by a man
in plain clothes. Mr. Apps, thinking
over his exploits, gazing abstractedly at
his boots, and regretting their want of
polish, did net see them until the plain
clothes man tapped him on the shoulder.
"What Apps, again?" exclaimed the
man.
"Yus,"said the burglar discontent
edly. "Yus, it is Apps agiue, Mr.
Walker. And vnrry glad you are to see
him, I've no daht."
"Always a. pleasure to meet a gentle
man like you," said Mr. Walker cheer
fully as he conducted him to the door
Way. "I'vo wanted to run up against
you before."
Much commotion in the ballroom at
the diverting little scene. General agree
ment that Lady Staplehnrst was a per
fect genius at entertaining.
"But, loveliest girl," said the gon
dolier coufificntialJy to Lady Staple
burst, "isn't this carrying a joke rather
too far? That's a real detective."
"I know," said the loveliest girl,
trembling now a little. "That's a real
burglar too."
"A real"
"Yes, yes. Don't make a fuss. I
don't want the dance spoiled. Take me
down to supper, like a gcod fellow,"
