fFrom Modern Society
Jimmy P.euthcroft turned into ricca
dilly Circus ami stood for a few mo
ments with his hands in the pockets of
his overcoat and a cigar in his mouth.
A fogr was tryingf with some success to
settle down upon London, and. the elec
tric liehts were doing their best to deal
with it. People were clamoring for cabs,
anxious to get home before fares were
doubled or refused altogether. And a
strolling policeman remarked to his col
league on point duty at the Circus that
they wouldn't be without a. blanket to
night, any way.
But Jimmy Beachcroft was not de
pressed. For Jimmy Beacheroft, though
a modest man. as men go, could not
deny that he was getting on. He had
been dining that evening with his pub
lisher, and had been told casually that
hi second novel was going excellently,
and that his third was wanted as soon
as he could make it ready.
"Not so bad," said Jimmy to himself,
"and I'm not twenty-eight till tomor
row." He took out his watch. "An hour
more," he murmured.
The fog thickened slightly.
"Club or home?" asked Jimmy of him
self. He weighed the merits of the two.
On the one hand was a comfortable
chair, a me. pleasant companions, a
game of billiards, and so forth. On the
other, a bachelor fiat in the Brampton
Road. He could picture it, dark and
lonely, in his mind's eye. But in the flat
above was Bernard Cunningham, the
artist, and Madge. Madge should be at
home tonight. "I'm sure Bernard said
there was to be no rehearsal this even
ing, and that she was going to stay at
home," said Jimmy to himself.
Madge lived in the flat with her
brother and had a secondary part in the
forthcoming production.
"It shall be home," remarked Jimmy
to the end of his cigar. "Then I can
find out perhaps why Madge has been
snubbing me so persistently. Keally. I
fancy I'm quite worth marrying now."
He walked across the Circus and took
his way down Piccadilly. Anxious to
reach home with as little interruption
as possible, he plunged through the.
traffic to the less crowded side. It was
just then that he noticed a figure in
front of him, the timid figure of a girl
who was ooviously frightened. You can
see when a girl is frightened in the
streets, even from behind, by the quick
turn of her head to and fro. Now, when
a man is in love, as Jimmy was. his
first impulse is to help any other girl in
trouble for the sake of the girl he loves.
So Jimmy, being assured that the girl
was frightened, was inspired to protect
her. But how? She was walking quick
ly along Piccadilly, and Jimmy hurried
after her.
"Now, shall I speak to her and offer
to find her a 'bus or a cab, or to escort
her on foot?" said Jimmy to himself. "I
might explain that I am very respect
able, and have no evil designs, and "
But at thut moment some men came
out from a side street, and the girl, look
ing apprehensively around her, darted
across the road to the other side. Jimmy
glared at the men, and followed the girl.
"I'm afraid that would look a little
strange," he muttered, as he plodded
after her. "But it's a beastly shame
that a girl should be startled like this
when-there's a decent man close by to
look after her."
After going for a hundred yards or so,
during which Jimmy walked unobstru
sively a little way behind her. resolved
to smite hip and thigh any one who in
terrupted or insulted her, he saw a knot
of men coming from the opposite direc
tion. They were linked arm in arm and
proclaiming loudly in various keys that
they were not going home till morning.
"No, nor you ain't likely to. unless
you've got bail handy," remarked a po
liceman. Jimmy braced himself for action as
the gill hurried on in front of him. But
suddenly she changed her course again
and skipped behind a crawling hansom
and across the road again.
"I have half a mind to tell her that
I'm here," said Jimmy to himself, "and
that she needn't be alarmed."
However, he decided that, as she was
in no real peril at present, he would
merely stand by, as it were, to help in
case of need.
The south side of Piccadilly was al
most deserted, and the girl hurried
quickly along without interruption. As
she passed the cab shelter she hesitated
a moment. Some hansom drivers, were
loudly chaffing the man on the box of
a four-wheeler and trying to improve
the shape of his tall hat with their nose
bags. Jimmy had decided to give her
his company -and protection in running
the gauntlet, when she suddenly started
forward at a great pace. They were
nearing Hyde Park corner when her
walk became a run. and Jimmy, taking
his cigar fiom his mouth, went after
her.
"I'll see the poor little girl through,
now I've started," he said to himself.
She sped across the open space and
plunged into the knot of people gath
ered about the westward-bound omni
buses. For a moment he lost sight of
her. Then, as he pushed his way
through the little crowd, he saw that
she was clambering into a Putney 'bus.
"Well, I suppose she's safe now," he
said to himself, it must be confessed,
with a tinge of disappointment. "Any
way, I've done my duty."
Jimmy lifted his umbrella and called
a passing hansom.
"Poor little girl! Pity she didn't know I
was looking after her." he said to himself,
as the cab sped down Park Side.
At Buiiingdon Mansions he stopped the
rub. Bv this time he had forgottetn the
frightened little girl of Piccadilly in thel

ham. He passed by his own flat, which
he knew ' would depress him. There is
not a bachelor in a thousand who would
wililrigiv go home until he wants to go to
bed. At The door of the flat above he
rang the electric bell.
"He's just gone to post a letter, I think,
sir." said the servant.
"Well. then. I ll come in and wait for
him." said Jimmy, his heart jumping at
the prospect of finding Madge alone.
"He expected you, I believe." said the
maid, leading the way to Bernard Cun
ningham's studio, which served also' as
the sitting room of the flat.
But Madge was not there. The studio
was empty; the sofa on which she gener
ally sat in the evening was in its accus
tomed place before the fire, and the cush
ion in' the corner on which she rested was
crumpled as though by a recent occu
pant. Jimmy stepped across and kissed it.
"Rather a pretty incident for a story,"
he said to himself.
The sound of a key in the outer door,
and Jimmy stood erect before the fire,
waiting.
The studio door opened and Madge
rushed in.
"Oh. I've had such an awful experi
ence!" she began, and seeing Jimmy
standing before the ftre. stopped. "Wber-s
Bernard?" she asked.
"Gone to post a letter, I'm told." said
Jimmy. "I'm waiting for him. But the
experience? You look frightened."
Jimmy regarded her as critically as a
man can regard the woman he loves, and
he noticed that Madge was white and a
little disheveled.
"A man." said Madge, "followed me."
"Where?" asked Jimmy. "Is he out
side?' "Oh. no in Piccadilly."
"But have yoti been "to the theater?"
"Yes. We had to rehearse this morn
ing, and then again tonight. And in Pic
cadilly, as I was coming home; oh, it was
so horrid!"
Madge threw off her cloak.
"Did you did you look around?" asked
Jimmy.
"Of course I didn't'" replied Madge.
"Then how did you know he was fol
lowing you?"
"Oh. a girl can feel that. A man
wouldn't understand."
'Wau he a a nice looking- man?" said
Jimmy, with some inkling of the true
state of the cast.
"No. a horrid man! No one but a hor
rid man would have done it. T had to
run and catch a 'bus. And and he ran
after me. I'm trembling still."
She sat down before the fire, and Jimmy
saw a tear hovering upon her eyelashes.
"Book here," he said, after taking a
minute to grasp the situation firmly,
"there was no cause for alarm. You were
being looked after all right. I was the
man."
"You. Mr. Beacheroft? How dare you
be so horrid?"
"I didn't want to let you out of my
sight until I had een you In safety. I
knew you were frightened."
Jimmy watted for her reply standing
over her bv the fire.
"You knew who I was?" she asked
presently, looking tip at him.
"Of course I did," said Jimmy, without
wincing.
"Then why didn't you speak to me?"
"I thought somehow that I'd offended
vou lately, and you mightn't like it.
Have I?"
Madge shook her head.
"Besides, I thought it might be a useful
lessi in."
"Why should you want to teach me a
lesson?" asked Madge, standing up and
facing him.
"tJirls shouldn't go about alone so late
at night," said Jimmy.
"But suppose they can't help it?" said
Madge. "Suppose they have to make
their own living? I hate it, heavens
knows especially when I have such a
fright as this."
Somehow or other Jimmy found himself
holding her hand. "Wouldn't it -be nicer."
he said, "if you had someone to go about
with you. to look after you; someone who
had a right to do so?"
Madge looked at him with inquiring
eyes, the tear still trembling on her eye
lashes. "I should be. very glad- if you would
give me the job." he said, drawing her
toward him. "Come, you're not fright
ened now. Madge?"
"No. not when I know you are near
me " she said.
"Hullo! You two seem pretty busy!"
said Bernard Cunningham from the door
way. "We are," said Jimmy, releasing Madge
from his arms; "we've been getting engaged."
HIS GREAT C031P0SURE.
Form N. O. Times-Democrat.
"In the backyard of a pretty place
owned by a friend of mine in the neigh
borhood of Audubon Park," said a Canal
street business man, "there is an old
fashioned summer house in a state of
picturesquqe dilapidation. It is octag
onal in shape and has eight ornamental
windows, in each of which the glass has
been shattered by what appears to have
been a sudden furious blow something
that knocked out the center bodily and
left nothing but a fringe of splintered
fragments. The work is very suggestive
of a club, and I couldn't help remark
ing upon it while strolling over the
grounds in the course of a little visit last
Saturday afternoon. You seem to have
been standing a siege down here, said
I. My friend smiled. That reminds me
of a story,' he replied. "You know I am
a collector of china in a small way,' he
went on, 'and about the best things I
have are a few pieces of old Sen-Tong
porcelain that I keep in the large cabi
net in the library. They date back to
the fourth dynasty, and are, of course,
imique. The ware is so thin you can
l'ead a newspaper through the undecor
ated sections, and perhaps the most re
markable thing about it is the fact that
it has come down through all these
years without getting smashed. As a
rule, I keep the glass doors locked, but
about a year ago I was entertaining a
party of friends and, at their urgent so
licitation. I opened up the cabinet for
closer inspection. One of my guests
call him the major for short fancies
himself a connoisseur in ceramics and
before I could interfere he reached in
and took out the gem 'f the collection,
a small dragon vase decorated with the
imperial red enamel that hasn't been
made for more than 200 years My heart
jumped into my mouth and I implored
him to be careful, but he was anxious to
exhibit his erudition to some ladies, and,
after holding forth on the historical fea
tures of the ware, he called attention to
its extreme lightness. "It weighs scarce
ly more than a soap bubble!" he ex
claimed and at the same time jumped
the vase up and down in his palm. I shut
my eyes involuntarily and opened them
just in time to see my treasure slip out
of his grasp, fly through the air, strike
a table leg and break into a thousand
fragments Of course, the major was
profoundly grieved and the others, who
heard me caution him. were inclined to
be indignant. I am proud to say I was
the only self possessed person in the
room. 'It is of no importance, major,"
I said carelessly, 'and I beg of you
rot to distress yourself for a moment.
My only fear was that it would break
in your hand and cut you.' My apparent
unconcern put the guests at their ease,,
and the episode gave me quite a repu
tation for courtesy and sang froid. The
gratitude of the major was really touch
ing.' 'But I don't see what connection
all this has with the summer house,'
said I, when my friend concluded his
story. 'I forgot to tell you that I slipped
out a few moments after the accident,'
he replied. 'Well, that was when I
smashed those eight windows." "

than ten miles from the city, and then
moved eastward, expecting to cross the
Ohio river at Bufiiiigton, but was driven
back, made another attempt at Vellsville,
but was finally captured at New Lisbon.
"This was the most remarkable raid of
the war. It carried panic and confusion
into Ohio and Indiana, but in results it

ing Kentucky. There was not. He believ
ed that the copperheads in Ohio would
give him at least secret support, but when
his men stole the horses of the copper
heads, or tho peace Democrats, the latter
joined the ranks of Morgan's pursuers,
and before the raid was half over the
whole ftpte was aroused, and men who
had taken no interest in the war previous
to that time shouldered their squirrel ntl?
to fight the raiders who were stealing
their horses and- carrying the horrors of
war to their very doors. , .
"There was hard riding all the tune for
Morgan's men. They left behind them a
wreckage of broken-down horses. They
kept ahead of their ITnlon pursuers pimply
because thev stole horses right and left
and remounted the men. but they- were
finally captured, and that fall Ohio gave
the war partv the largest majority in the
history of the state up to that time. In
fact "the Morgan raid, by carrying the
war into the peaceful districts of Indiana
and Ohio, provoked a furious feeling of
resentment, which influenced people for
twenty years.
"The comedy of the raid was furnished
by the people of the districts wholly un
used to war, wholly unprepared for it and
with exaggerated ideas of the ferocity of
Morgan's men. For two weeks it was
only necessary for some mischievous boy
to shout 'Morgan is coming!' in any vil
lage in central or southern Ohio to create
a panic. I know that many of the riders
after Morgan got no rest night or day,
slept in the saddle, and not a tew of them
fell off their horses in sleep. At the end
of the raid thev were as exhausted as
Morgan's men. but with a more difficult
task to perform they never received half
the praise given to the raiders.
"I remember." continued the Major,
"one case in which a woman stabled her
carriage horses in the parlor for two days
to keep them out of Morgan's hands. I
saw Morgan's men ride by that house,
and saw some of them stop to listen at
the unusual sound of horses' feet on the
carpeted floor, but the parlor horses were
not disturbed. Some of our neighbors'
drove their horses, cattle and sheep thirty
miles into the interior, and were away
from home a week. Morgan's men looted
right and left, and S'ime of them had
bolts of calico strapped to their saddles
when thev were captured.
"Morgan, it must be remembered, made
his whole raid with artillery and a wagon
train, but he was not in Ohio to fight, and
he demonstrated at once the ease with
which a peaceful district may be invaded
bv a mobile column, and at the same time
the peril involved in such a venture. In
a few days fifty thousand militiamen were
in- the field against him. At first he
played with these green soldiers, but at
last thev hung on his flanks, eaer to
fight as bulldogs. In the last days Hob
son's men, who had followed Morgan for
hundreds of miles through three states,
closed in on their old enemies with a lee
fulness that exceeded anything of the
kind I ever saw in the army, and Judah's
men, closing in on the other side, settled
the fate of the raiders.
"Morgan's men knew by the maneuver
ing and firing when they were fared by
trained soldiers, and the first charze of
the Vnlon cavalry had in it the impetus
of delaved vengeance. The Unionists who
rode in" that charge had old scores to set
tle, and Morgan's tired veterans were
overwhelmed. After Morgan had escaped
from the penitentiary at Columbus and
had reorganized his command and was
again raiding Kentucky, hundreds of
Union soldiers on their way home for dis
charge left their trains and joined in the
pursuit eimply to get a crack at the old
raider, and Morgan knew when thHr
rifles spoke that he was up against the
real thing."
