I A Business
There was a dead silence as the
lawyer's clear official tones ceased and
he glanced round st the company as
sembled in the - spacious library-an
ominous silence, the calm before tho
storm; and ;u another moment the
storm burst
"It is abominable!" cried Lady Ade
line Carruthers, with a fierce energy
that accorded ill with her handsome
mourning robes. "The ?will must be
contested; Lord Mountathol was cer
tainly mad when he made it"
**You would find it impossible to
prove that assertion, Lady Adeline,"
said the lawyer coldly. "Wo will
grant that the late Lord Mountathol
was eccentric, but he was as sane as
you or I; and as there is no direct
heir, he had a perfect right to leave
his personal property as he wished."
"And he has left it to his sec
retary and his typewriter, on a condi
tion that was doubtless arranged be
forehand. A pretty state of affairs!"
cried Lady Adeline furiously.
A girl neatly but plainly dressed in
black, who had been sitting in a dis
tant corner, listening with a pale, dis
tressed face while tho curious will was
read, started np at these words and
confronted the irate matron. She
was a very pretty girl, evidently a
Indy. The color ha I fled from her
cheeks and lips, and I er big gray
eyes were full of tears; but she held
her slight fignre proudly erect and
spoke distinctly, though her voice
was tremulous with indignation.
"You aro wrong, Lady Adeline!
The condition was not arranged be
forehand, and it will never bo ful
filled!"
"Indeed!" sneered Lady Adeline,
with a glance of withering contempt.
"And pray, what does the other inter
ested person say? Is Mr. -er -
Trevelyan also willingo let this su
perb lega y lapse to the crown?*'
Everyone except the poor agitated
girl turned expectantly toward the
secretary, Balph Trevelyan, who
stood near Mr. Dentou, but his fine
face wore an inscrutable expression.
"The term3 of the will have sur
prised me as much as anyone, but I
think it will be bettor to discuss the
matter in private," ho said, calmly.
"Do you agree with me, Mr.Denton?"'
"Certainly-, certainly," answered
the! a wy er. "There is no hurry; you
have six months in which to make np
your minds."
"Mine is made up," murmured Eva
Withers, who was making brave ef
forts to restrain her teara, "Mri Den
ton, I don't think ray presence is re
squired here .any longer."
*? Bowing slightly to tte lawyer, and
ignoring Lady Adeline, Eva Talked to.
the door. Balph Trevelyan sprang
forward to op?n it, and looked at her
eagerly, earnestly; but she passed
him with averted face.
A minute or two afterward Lady
Adeline and the others departed, the
former tossing her head indignantly
and enunciating disjointed remarks
concerning "scheming upstarts" and
"doting old fools," while the rest of
the company discussed in subdued
tones the strange freak that had led
the late Lord Mountathol to leave
ten thousand a year to his secretary,
Balph Trevelyan, and his typewriter,
Eva Withers, on the sole condition
that they become man and wife within
six months of the testator's decease.
Mr. Denton had a brief consultation
with Balph Trevelyan, and then ho
sent a message by a servant asking
Miss Withers if she was able to see
him. She received him in the pretty
sitting room that had been hers since
she entered the service of her late
employer.
"Dear Mr.Denton, this is terrible,"
Eva said, as she rose to meet the law
yer. "Lord Mountathol was always
like a father to me. I'm sure he loved
me as a daughter! What could have
induced him to lay this-this humilia
tion on me?"
"I don't quite see where the humil
iation comes in, my dear young lady,"
responded the lawyer, with a kindly
twinkle in his eyes. "If Lord Mount
athol loved you as a daughter-and he
did-he loved Balph Trevelyan as a
son. Latterly it was the dearest wish
of his life that yon two might be mar
ried. Now come, my dear Miss
Withers,think it over quietly. I have
known Balph Trevelyan since he was
a boy, and know him for a true gen
tleman in every sense of the word, a
worthy descendant of an ancient and
honorable line, a husband any woman
might be proud of; while, on the
other hand-well, I can only say that
if I had been Saiph's age I should
have envied his good fortune-the
personal,not the financial, part of it,"
he concluded with a gallant little bow.
The ghost of a smile flitted over
Eva's wan face.
"Ah, you would have been differ
ent, Mr. Denton," she said gracious
ly. "But my mind is .nade up; I
will have nothing to do with this
scheme-it is hateful to me. "
"Well,well," rejoined Denton good
humoredly, "I'm hot going to try to
influence you in any way; after all,
it rests between the two of you. But
I think you ought to give Mr. Tre
velyan an opportunity of-shall we
say, stating his view of the case?"
Eva hesitated for a moment and
then answered, "You are right I
.will see him now, if you will send him
to me. The sooner it is over the bet
ter."
Left alone, Eva paced the room
restlessly.
"I -will not be bought and sold like
a bale of goods," she murmured pas
sionately. "If he had cared for rae
it would have been so different-but
now -
She paused by the window and stood
looking ont with affected nonchalance
as Balph Trevelyan entered the room.
Ho advanced as far as the table and
then stopped, looking at the-slight

figure standiiig so haughtily aloof, a ti ci
the defiant poise of the shapely head.
"This is a vory ridiculous and em
barrassing affair," Eva snid coldly,
finding that she was expected to speak
first; but she did not turn her head,
and the remark really might have
been addressed to the birds outside.
"Embarrassing? Yes," he assented
lamely.
"You heard roy decision in the li
brary jost now?" Era continued, still
H(? dressing herself to the windowpane.
"It is impossible that the condition
can be fulfilled."
A spasm as of pain crossed his hand
some face, but L;s voice was calm and
steady as he replied:
"Yes, it seems rather impossible,
but is it not a pity that Lord Monnt
athol's generous intention should be
frustrated-that practically no one
sHbuld benefit by this magnificent be
quest?"
Eva turned at last and faced him
with flashing eyes.
"What do you mean?" she de
manded haughtily.
He drew a step nearer to her and
spoke earnestly and impressively.
"Miss Withers, you, like myself,
know what poverty is. You have told
me what your lifo was before you ob
tained the position our late benefactor
offered you. Are you willing to re
turn to that life? To sit at a desk all
day and go home at night to a lonely,
cheerless room?-perhaps to want
work and not kuow where your next
meal was to come from? Forgive me
if I speak plainly; you know I speak
truth,"
"Yes, I know, but I say again I
would rather-a thousand times rather
-go back to that wretched life. 1
would rather starve than fulfil tin
conditions of this hateful will!"
"But you forget," he persisted.
"You are. not the only person con
cerned. I am equally interested in
the matter."
"Yon!"
Most men would have winced under
the scorn, the utter contempt con
veyed in the monosyllable, bat Kalph
T; ovelyan met her glance steadily.
His face was palo and sad, but it ex
pressed no shame.
"I propose that we should fulfill
the terms of the will-no, pray hear
me ont-as a mere business arrange
ment. If you will honor me by goiug
through the marriage ceremony with
me l swear to relieve yon of my hate
ful presence that hour. Instead of
earning a precari JUS pound a week
you will be absolute mistress of five
thousand a year. Think what that
means, Miss Withers, ere you give
your decision. Think of the good
you can do to others with such means
at your disposal before you come to a
hasty decision.
He had touched the right spot.
During the last minute or so Eva
had been sweeping up and down the
room with the mieji of an outraged
queen, endeavoring to master her al
most uncontrollable indignation.
She paused again at her former post
at the window and remained for a
minute in silence.
"Very well," she said at last in a
hard, constaioed voice. "I accept
your terms, Mr. Trevelyan. The de
tails can be arranged at leisure, I pre
sume? I-I need not detain you any
longer."
She bent that haughty little head
ever so slightly, aud taking this as a
sign of dismissal, he went sadly away,
whereupon Eva sank down on the
window seat and cried as though her
heart would break.
The business arrangement was con
cluded in due course at a registrar's
office, for both bride and bridegroom
taeitly shrank from the mockery of a
religious ceremony.
Eva maintained her attitude of
proud reserve, aad parted from her
husband-in name only-without be
traying the slightest- emotion. Soon
afterward she went abroad under the
chaperonage of a widowed gentle
woman, a friend of her early poverty
stricken days. They traveled on the
continent for some time; then, as the
winter came on, they drifted to Ma
deira, a d from thence Eva decided
to take a trip to the Cape.
"And I shall assume m .- own name,"
she said to her complacent companion,
to whom her word was law. "If I
have to be Mrs. Trevelyan in Europe
I shall be Eva Withers in Africa."
Of Balph Trevelyan she had seen
nothing since th6 morning when they
parted at the registrar's office.
On one delicious evening in No
vember she sat on the veranda of the
Grand hotel at Port Elizabeth, gazing
wistfnlly out over the sea. She was
alone, for Mrs. Mathieson >'a- enjoy
ing a post-prandial nap in the drawing
room.
She did not perceive a tall figure ap
proaching her in the moonlight, and
started when the newcomer, Colo el
Lennox, a recent arrival at the hotel,
had halted beside her chair and spoke
to her.
"A delightful night, isn't it, Miss
Withers? I don't know who would
winter in England when they could
come out here to this sort of thing."
Eva murmured something polite and
innocent, for the colonel was a griz
zled old veteran, and did not interest
her particularly.
"There's no accounting for tastes,"
continued the colonel cheerfully.
"Now, I know a follow who might
have come out with me, but who pre
fers to work himsel* to death in Lon
don. Balph Trevelyan always was an
obstinate young dog."
"Balph Trevelyan!" gasped Eva,
"Yes, do you know him?"
"I know his name," she murmured.
"Ah, possibly you have heard the
story about him; most ladies love a bit
of romance. No? Well, Balph Tre
velyan-may I smoke? Thanks!-as
I was saying, Trevelyan-he's the son

"Yes, yes," Eva interrupted ur
gently; "but what about-ob, you

"Ralph? Well, yes,something like
it. You see, after be took bis degree

eccentric old nobleman, who died and
left bim a pot of mousy ott condition

and ehftred tlia Spoil with her,"
"Well?" breathed Evtt;
"The girl hated him, though he's ?
decent lad enough; but lad es-well,
well, we won't go into that-auyhow,
Ralph persuaded her to go through a
form of marriage, promising to take

"No, no, only I-I must go in. It's

"No. I-I'm afraid I shan't be able

And the agitated girl went in, while
the colonel chuckled audibly as be
lighted a fresh cigar.
"That's the girl, right enough; I
felt sure of it Now I hope tho young
fcols will leave oT playing at cross
purposes, and take the goods the gods

"Fog and frost-ugh! the r?gulai
London Christmas," murmured Ralph
Trevelyan with a shiver as he looked
at the window, obscured from with
out as with a murky yellow curtain,
and then, turning to tho table, drew
a manuscript wearily toward him.
"Come in," he cried, in response tc
a timid knock. "vVell, what is it?"
He turned his head and then started
np with a cry.
"Eva! No, it cannot be!"
"Yes, yes indeed," . murmure.l the
girl, who came toward him with out
stretched hands. "It is I. Ralph,dear
Ralph, I have been so unhappy. I

Colonel Lennox told me, ami then I
came to find you. Ralph, is it true?
Do you-do you love me?"
He took the beseeching bands in
bis and drew her to bim.
"I have loved you all the time," he
said hoarsely. "And you-"
"And I've loved you," she sobbed;
"only I thought you didn't care, and
I was so angry, so ashamed-"
But Ralph stopped the confession
in an eminently satisfactory manner.
"And we'll go back to the Cape for
our honeymoon, and find the dear old

we, Ealph?" said Eva some half hoar
afterward.
"So we will, darling; bat what
about my publisher?"
"Ob, bother your publisher; you'll
have to disappoint bim. After all,
there's nothing between you but
well, just a business arrangement!"
The Conscientious Coachman.
.'John, I'd like to know what makes
your back so straight," said a rich
man to his coachmau the other day.
"And how do yon stand the fatigue
of sitting BO beautifully erect while
you drive for hours at a stretch?"
The coachman blushed with pleasure
as he led his master to a light and
airy corner of the carriage house.
"I'll show yon the kind of exercise I
take every day, sir," he said, "so as
to be a credit to your livery, and your
equipage, and yourself and lady."
The man then lay down on his stomach
and drew upward bis body and legs
uptil be formed a V, the point of
which, his abdomen, alone touched
the ground. "I do this 200 times a
day, sir," he said. "It gives correct
carriage." Then, on parallel bars, he
dipped. "One hundred of these,
daily, sir, expand the chest and give
a robust grace to the upper arms and
shoulders." He put his arms, well
stiffened, at his sides, and then slowly
raised them till the hands met ovo:
his head. "I do about 500 of that
movement for a chest broadener, also
for straighteners." He then nearly
touched his back with the crown of
bis bead and quite touched his chest
with his chin. "That straightens the
neck, sir, and gives the head a proper
poise. And so on, sir, I continue for
an hour or two every morning, and I
don't believe, as long as I keep it up,
I'll ever lose my figure."-Philadel
phia Record.
Collateral for Car Fare.
An amusing incident happened on
an Indiana-avenue street car recently.
The car was going south, attached to
the Cottage Grove cable. At Van
Buren street a big, portly womau got
aboard. On her arm she carried a
large market basket that apparently
was filled with "bargain" purchases
from some department store. Three
minutes after she bad sat down and
deposited the basket between her feet
on the floor, the conductor came along
with the usual cry; "Fare, please!"
The old lady opened her purse and
began rummaging through its various
pookets for a nickel. Again and again
she went through it, but no ch auge
was to be found. Theu she turned to
the conductor and said:
"I was sure I had saved car fare,
but I cannot find it. I live at the end
of your Hue, and will pay yon then."
"That won't do; must have your
fare now," said the fare collector.
"Well, I haven't the money. "
"Well, give me something the value
of a nickel and you can redeem it at
the end of the line."
The old lady hesitated a moment,
then put her hand down into the bati
ket and drew out a bar of laundry
soap and handed it to him.
Everybody in tho car laughe 1, but
the conductor took the soap and raDg
up ber fare.-Chicago Nows.

President McKinley's 'irrlago Pair.
The new pair of carriage horses
that President McKinley will drive in
the future were bred at Fox Lake,
Wisconsin. Both the horses are
chestnut geldings, five yews old,
standing sixteen hands high. Both
horses are sired by Damascus, a
grandson of the Barb stallion Linden
Tree, who, with the Arab stallion
Leopard, was presented to General
Grant by the Sultan of Turkey. Their
dams are sisters, by Clay Pilot I, by

in the Rider and Driver, these two
horses have a very high action and, as
may be noted in the cut, are very evenly
matched in regard to ?izo and mark

has ordered him to take exercise, and
it will be a common occurrence in the
futuro to see him driving about the
suburbs of Washington behind his
new team. Although both horses

I W?m BAY, THE I
BOERS' OfHiY PORT. I
PEL AG OA BAY is a name ren
dered drearily familiar to
newspaper readers by the ar
bitration proceedings of
which it has been tho subject for more
than twenty years. All eyes arve now
turned toward Delagoa Bay io? a^iea
Bon of an infinitely more sensational
character in connection with the Boer
British War.
Delagoa Bay belongs to Portugal,
which is too weak to defend it against
any act of aggression on the part
?itber pf the Boers or of the English.
Not oniy is it the sole port worthy of
the name and offering any harborage
to men-of-war and to merchantmen
along the entire East Coast of Africa,
but it is the enly port by means of
which the Boers aro receiving both
the men and the war material that en
able them to continue the struggle
against tho English. True, English
cruisers have the right to atop and ex
amine upon the high GOBS any foreign
shipping which they may suspect of
carrying contraband of war for the
Boers. But any real search at sea is
out of the question, since it i3 mani
festly impossible to shift the entire
freight of a big trading steamer in or'
der to ascertain whether guns and war
material aro secreted at the bottom of
the hold. So long as the Boers aro
able to draw unlimited supplies of war
material and all tho reinforcements
they need from Europe via Delagoa
Bay, the English will be to such an
extent handicapped in their efforts to
got the better of the Transvaal that
the war is likely to bo indefinitely

prolonged. On the other hand, were
Delagoa Bay to be suddenly closed to
the Boers, and were the latter in this
manner entirely cut off from the outer
world, tho war could be brought to a
?peedy conciusiou- by^?h:eat?-Britain.- .
Now that everything connected with
3outh Africa is of paramount interest,
the accompanying picture, showing
Dative signalmen on the Netherlands
railway, running through Komati
Poort into the Transvaal, is not with
out timeliness. It was up this rail
way and through this pass that the
ammunition consigned to the Trans
vaal by way of Delagoa Bay had to
pass before it reached General Joubert
and his men. Owing to the wildness
of much of the territory through
which this railway passes, a large
corps of watchmen and signalmen are
necessary all along the line. The
responsible duties of signaling and
guarding the roadbed are left to
Kaffirs.
Dr. Leyds. the Boer agent in Eu
rope, says that the war material ac
cumulated in the Transvaal will supply
tho republican armies for several
years, and his opinion is supported
by facts that have come to light since
the war began. We know now that

year. This is proved by the general
ized statement as to the expenditures
of the Transvaal war office beginning
in 1896, in January of which year the
Jameson raiders were captured. Every
dollar's worth of these munitions
passed through Dolagoa Bay aud over
the railroad to Pretoria. The Delagoa
Bay route and doubtless the port
authorities at Lorenzo Marques have
thus been of inestimable service to
the Boers. They made it possible for
them to strain every nerve to place
their country on a war footing and at
the same time to deceive the British
completely as to the magnitude of the
preparations.
