ground her social barrier. When she spoke
quite frankly of a boarding house her
mother had kept in a mining town where
JJobart Jones had been a paying guest, and
told in picturesque exaggeration of her
starved youth and pitiful hatred of her environment?of
the longing to escape to the
frr^at life of Europe, with its men and women
of tradition- she disarmed the gossips
She frankly acknowledged what was her detra
-tors' store of tittle-tattle. It was a
Unique game and it won.
Jim watched her with tolerant interest as
fhe inv-'lgled a young guardsman into giving
a substantial donation to the cause.

Jim started to leave the flag-bedecked hall,
with lis litter of packages and debrisF'r.-wn

Mrs. Jones lived In a box of a house in
Curz'in street It was a setting especially
?lesig;,-d to suit her small, bird-like personality
Hut Jim's stalwart frame seemed
grotesquely out t>f proportion In the small
French salon. The dinner was an amusing
tett -a-tete with Sadie at her most
vivacious best, telling anecdotes of the
Iilalns she loved
Sometimes 1 long for the smell of the
alkali It chokes one, but 1 find the fogs
fur harder to swallow. I was bred to
It."
Hitherto her descriptions of the prairie
had often made Jim lor.g to set- the country
she paint'-d -so vividly. Suddenly she
turned to Jirn and with quick decision
said:
"I can't understand your Knglisliman's
point of view. Why. In America, if Hoby
Jon?-? had treated me as Lord Kerliill Is
treating his wife, there would be ructions.
Yes. ructlonB," she calmly went on, in answer
to Jim's look of amazement- "Lord
ft'-rnui is your cousin I know, but I^ady
K> rhlll Is an angel. Why don t you do
something?"
For a moment Jim could not quite grasp
fcer Irrelevant outburst. Thin he learned
that Diana's failure to appear at the
bazaar was due to days of accumulated
lUixlety at the Towers. Henry had been
away for a week without a word of explanation
to those at home.
"(>f course," Sadie Jones continued as
she leaned back and liuffed her cigarette,
"I know the truth. We all do here in

a most flagrant life. An earl may be

Tie following morning lie called at Pont

breakfast. A brandy glass ami empty soda
bottle aroused Jim's suspicions, while the
bloated circles under Henry's eyes, and his
yellow discolored skin, were unmistakable
I-roofs of a recent debauch. As Jim entered.
Henry looked up with surprise.
"Didn't expect you back so soon." he
aid, after their strained greetings. Henry
seemed 111 at ease. "Anything up?" he
went on. as Jim didn't speak.
There van a moment's portentous silence.
"Henry," Jim began, very calmly. "I've
jot to speak to you about certain matters." I

' About the- Yeomanry?work?" he ha!:
' stammered while his eyes "urtively soug!ii
Jim's face.
But Jim who was thinking only of Dlanf
' and tiie difficulty of alluding to Henry's recent
conduct, failed to notice h-s faiterint
words and frigi.tened expression.
"Oh. no?no." he answered. That's golnf
on all right. I hear." He hesitated. Ther
w th a quick breath he said. "It's no use
j I've got to blurt out what's troubling me
I A 1 th*- town Is talking about your life; lis

i that it will soon reach Diana, and that
j Lady E izalieth is quivering under the
i strain of a certain amount of knowledge
wiilch she is hilling, and is dreading further
disclosures?"
As Jim spoke he seemed to gain courage.
"Don't speak, Let mo have my say," he
quietly commanded as llenry rose and attempted
a blustering manner. "I am the
only man close to Lady Elizabeth and
Diana. For Sir Charles to become aware
of this scandalous condition of affairs
would be disastrous. You know that perfectly.
Now tell me. In God's name, why
you married Di if you wished to lead this
life?" He paused. "Can't you pull yourself
together? it's not t<?o late. So far nothing
definite Is known to either Di or Lady

I rose and crossed to Henry. "It's all true,
I suppose?what I'm accusing you of?Isn't
It?" There was no answer. He laid Ills
hand on Henry's shoulder. "Tell me that
It's over and that you mean to go straight."
Henry turned. All his rebellion seemed to
have slipped from him. Suddenly he
dropped into a chair and buried his head
| in h:s hands.
"I'm not fit?not fit. do you hear??for Di.
I married her because I loved her. Yes, I

know about it? I am lit the meshes. I
have sunk lower and lower. You want to
know about this woman the world links
with my disgrace. Well, I tried to break
with her when I married Di?I swear 1 did?
but I can't. She is like a dog; that one has
grown attached to?you can't tling it out of
your life completely. There has always
been a wall between Diana and me. I tried
in the beginning to reach her, but she's
afraid of me?I know it."
As the torrent of words choke! him. he
stopped with a quick passion of agony. He
was sincere In this confession of his weakness;
Jim could not doubt him, though he
was astonished at the admission. He had
expected Henry to assail him with hard
words and insolent denials. The acknowl

took some brandy; he seemed a vibrating
bundle of torments.
Jim watched hhn closely. "I don't want
to preach. Henry." he said, "but when you
stop that"?lie pointed to the half-empty
Husk?"you'll have half conquered yourself,
and the rest will be far easier. This drinking
will pull you into days of horror, days
that would mean desolation to us all."
He hesitated. Henry crossed to the chimney
and leaned against it with his back to
Jim.
"There is every chance for you," continued
Jim. "In three months you can have
regained your place with Di, and think?
think what it would mean to your mother."
Henry did not move; his head was resting
on his outstretched arms, lying across the
mantel edge. The broken figure of Henry
touched Jim deeply. "It's all right, old
man. We'll forget this. Forgive m;- frankness.
but. after all, your Interests are mine;
your mother and your home w^i-e minr and
Di?was like a little sister, so I had to
speak. I'll not say another word. I'm oft."
And almost before Henry could realize it
Jim had left him?left him with the dull
burning in his heart and brain.
So Jiin knew. It had been a relief to acknowledge
his pent-up remorse, but he was
more deeply involved than his cousin suspected.
Jim knew but half; the other half.

ever beside him. lie made a sudden rush
to the door as though to recall Jim, to unburden
himself and be saved, but the momentary
impulse died. He stumbled heavily
into a chair; it was useless. He alone could
save the situation, and t'. half that Jim
knew would be bitter enough to face in his
daily companionship with him.
Autumn came, with its heather-clad hills,
but Knglarid rejoiced less than usual in the
beauty of the great flower-garden which
the entire country-side resembled. Over it
all hung the tragic symbol of war. The
call of Africa for men had been appalling.
In the park of the Towers a detachment of
yeomanry were encamped for a fortnight's
training, and the restful beauty of the
place for days had been broken by the firins:
maneuvers of th*1 iii
was quiet, with only the sounds from tinmen
in their tents faintly reaching the
Towers. Henry was giving a dinner to the
officers in command, and coffee was being
served In the garden. A flaming border of
evening primroses were opening their yellow,
cuplike blossoms. In the distance a
boy's clear voice was singing:
"Ob, Tommy, Tommy Atkins, you're a good 'un.
'fart ami 'and,
You're a credit to jour country and to all your
native land."
Lady Elizabeth had gathered a house
party to see the afternoon maneuvers and
to remain for the dinner. The bishop leaned
back in his chair tnd folded his hands over
his apron; his short, lean legs were
stretched out comfortably?the Kerhllls
knew how to entertain the church, he wits
convinced. Near him sat Sir John Applegnt>
and Mrs. Chichester Chichester Jones.
Close to a great bed of white pansies, with
scarlet standard roses gleaming like sentinels
over the delicate white blossoms, were
Mabel. Diana and Mr. Chiswlck, the young
ascetic curate. Henry, who was standing
near l^ady Elizabeth, kept his eyes moodily
on the ground. Sir Charles, with a
heavy shawl wrapped around him, was
stretched out in a long basket chair.
The air was so still that the moving of a
bird In its nest or the rustling of a leaf
disturbed its silence.
"God bless yon. Tommy Atkins ?
Here's a country's ealtli to you."
The voice ceased.
Sir John had been telling a story to Mrs.
Jones of the mule who drew a pension from
the American government
"Heard that story in America. Rather
good, eh, Mrs. Hobart Chi " lgnominiously
he stood stricken by the American name.
The bishop, seeing his bewilderment, turned
H.HU wnisperea trie dreadful cognomen.
As Sir John finished the broken
sentence there was a quiet laugh.
Henry leaned over his mother. "Mater,"
he said, "don't you think that Mrs. Hobart
Chichester Chichester Jones would make
a ripping match for Jim. I wish you'd try
and make an opportunity to help it along."
As he spoke he already saw the gold
from the Hattle Creek mines pouring into
the coffers of the house of Kerhlll. Lady
Klizabeth looked up with sudden comprehension.
The American was charming, her
look reassured Henry.
"Most assuredly. I'll do what I can."
From the drawing room came the sound
of music. An Impromptu dance had been
ai ranged by Diana for the young people,
who wre beginning to arrive. At a message
from Bates she quietly went toward
i the open casement to meet her guests.
Henry followed.
As the others started to follow. Sir John
and the bishop held a whispered consultation.
Then the bishop, bursting with
importance, turned to Sir John and said:
"Shall we take the ladles into our confidence,
Sir John?"
uy iiu nii-aiiK, bishop; yes. do."
Mabel and Xlrs. Jones joined In the supplication.
"Kerhill's brother officers," the bishop began,
"have purchased a very beautiful loving
cup in appreciation of his work for
tiie fund, which we have arranged to present
tomorrow afternoon to the earl."
"Oh. how charming, and what a delightful
surprise!" Lady Kllzabeth said. These moments
of Joy in Henry were rare events in
her Jstence.
"But." said Sadie Jones, "isn't Oapt.
James Wynnegate to get a loving cup. too?"
Sir John answered. "Oh, he's only the secretary
of the fund."
The waltz tune, with Its enticing beat,
grew louder and louder, and soon the garden
was deserted by all save Sir Charles,
who remained there absorbed In his
thoughts.
IMana. having seen her guests dancing,
and fearful that her father i.jlght remain
too lonK In the garden, hurriedly returned
to him She stood In the open window and
tenderly watched the closely wrapped figure.
The moonlight intensified bis pallor;
t
j it had h en an event that he should come
to them that night. She saw him smile.
I "Wei!, father," she said, "are you having
i a happy time?"
He r<'se and drew her close to him. "My
dear child. I can"! tell you how much this
has p'eas>d me It is a gnat Joy to me
to know that my daughter is married to
t!< distinguished heal of one of our gr at
families, a man so loved, so honored?a
pillar of society, mid a bulwark of the em
pire."
Never for a moment had he suspected the
misery of Diana's marriage. Not a quiver
of emotion showed on her calm fae^ as
she drew her arm intc his and t,aid, qu'.etiy,
j "Yes, father.''
"1 haven't forgotten your opposition to
1 this match," Sir Charles continued, "al.
i though I dare say you have, my dear, and
; I am naturally pleased that events have
f i vindicated me. Your husband cuts a noble
[ j figure in the world, and I am grateful be|
yond words to see you so happy."
t | As Diana gradually led Sir Charles from
Ills seat to the house, sue again answereu,
, "Ves. father."
During the past months her life had
, grown more dreary. If It had not been
| j fur Jim?dear Jim?what would she have
I done? Her fragrant mind had r.ever been
i disloyal to Henry. Often she had long <1
| : to go to her father, but h.-r solicitude for
_ liim prevented her from bringing disaster
to him. As they reached the door Lady
; Elizabeth called:
"Have you se?n Jim. Plana?"
Jim had been down in the park doing
some service for a sick trooper; Diana
explained this to Lady Elizabeth. He had
promised to return In time for the dancing.
__
"By the way, my dear," Lady Elizabeth
began, "if you get an opportunity. I wish
you would say a judicious word in praise
of Mrs. Hobart Chichester Chichester
' Jones. Jim. you know, sets such an extraordinary
value on your opinion.''
A quick feeling of dislike tilled Dianawhy.
she could not explain.
"What do you wish me to do?" she said.
"Praise her American accent or her American
money?"' Before she had finished the
sentence she was ashamed. She really liked
Sadie Jones; the sneer had been unworthy.
She was about to retract her words when

As she entered the library with Sir Charles
lie called:
"Don't forget our waltz, Diana."
"I won't, Jim."
Lady Elizabeth sank on to the stone
bench. She watched Jim, whose eyes were
still following Diana's receding figure.
This was the moment in which she might
serve Henry. In the music room Sadie
Jones was singing:
"Tout laase, tout passe "
Jim began humming the tune: he crossed
to I^ady Elizabeth and lightly put his arm
about her as he said:
"Well, auntie mine?"

"In view of the formal declaration of the

QUALITY OF POSTAL CARDS.
Experiments in Progress With a View
to Improve tne Stock.
As a result of an investigation under
Postmaster General Meyer's direction of
complaints from all parts of the country
regarding the quality of paper used for

AFTER MANY YEARS.
finding Claimants for Letters Written
Long Ago.
The Post Office Department has succeeded
in finding claimants for nearly all
of the thirty-seven letters which were recently
returned from Mexico, where they
had been held more than thirty years. In
many cases either writer or addressee, and
In a few instances both writer and addressee,
had been dead for years, and the letters
were delivered to surviving relatives.
The letter with the most interesting history
was mailed at Lavirk, Norway, November
18, 1875. addressed to a sailor at
Minatltlan, Mexico, where he had gone
when a boy of eighteen years. When the
letter reached Mexico the addressee had
gone to South America, whence he later
returned to Norway without having received
the communication. A quarter of
a century ago lie came to the United
States. During all these years the letter
had remained in the Mexican post office,
and when it was turned into the division
of dead letters it was sent to the place of
origin in Norway, and from there back 10
this country, and finally delivered to the
addressee at Stanley, Wis., where he Is
a prosperous citizen with a family.
INDIFFERENT ABOUT POLITICS.
Surprise at the Comparatively Small
Registration in Manila.
The bureau of Insular affairs has received
by cable information from the governor
generalof the Philippine Islands that the
returns from registration preparatory to
the election for members of the Philippine
assembly, which will take place on July
30, seem to Indicate a falling off, as compared
with 1006. In Manila the total registration
was 7,002, of which number s<5o
.were Americans.
This will be the first opportunity which
the citizens ^f Manila have had to vote, and
it is. of course, impossible to compare this
registration with the registration for prior
periods, but in 1905 the province of Pampanga,
which has but H.000 more civilized
Inhabitants than the city of Manila, the
total registration was tt.641, and in I'angasinan
province, which has a civilized population
of 3S?4,C>16, as compared with 210,028
for Manila, there was a registration of
0,716; and in Hlzal, the province nearest the
city of Manila, of there was registered
5,327 voters.
The small registration In the city of Manila
is quite a surprise. It was very generally
expected, In view of the far greater
number of peoule In Manila who possess
the necessary educational qualifications for
registration, that the registration In that
city would be very large, especially in view
