Large supply of Appier aud Red Rust Proof Oat* for seed. Edgefield Mercantile Co. Bracebridge stood on tte steps of the Casino. He had just tempted For tune, and for once the jade had proved a prude, and he was left with a broken purse. To describe his remorse would be impossible; he wondered dully what his mother would think when he should seek her out that night in their unpretentious hotel that overlooked the bay at Monaco and tell her that the trip would have to be postponed; that they must hasten home without delay. He cursed himself for a fool, and then chuckled grimly as he thought of the surplusage of money he would have when be had pawned va rious articles of apparel, the proceeds of which would go to buy tickets for "home. "Just enough for a box of cigar ettes," he muttered as he stumbled down the steps to the street. "Sir, can you not understand even English?" spoke a delicious musical voice. Bracebriage scrambled slowly back to earth from the realms of de spair into which he had descended. A big red limousine car stood by the curb, and from its window protruded a vision of pink and gold au J fluffiness that caused Bracebridge to uncover with a haste that was more worshipful! than graceful. "Eh! What do you want?" he asked, rudely, for his dulled brain was not aa quick as it was wont to be, nor his tongue as smooth; but the next h> stant he blushed in coniuslon at his own gruffness. "I beg your pardon, madam; can I be of service to you?" "Ah, you can." she sighed, relieved ly. "Come into the car," and she threw open the door, making room for him beside her. "But," said Bracebridge, hesitating. ??j n "Come, if you are going," she spoke impatiently, at the same time rising and grasping his wrist Bracebridge stepped from the curb and dropped on* the seat beside her. "Away, Adolphe!" she cried, sharp ly. The chauffeur started the machine with a rush. Bracebridge had a sensation of a swift journey through the night, but it was a dim one, for he was busy drinking in the woman's beauty as she sat beside him, her neck encircled by pearl collar, an expensive opera cloak thrown over ber shoulders. The girl laughed mischievously and said: I am*human; you act afraid, as though you might be in the presence of a deity. I would not harm a living creature and surely not you. Besides, I am smaller than you, you see." Sha ranged her tiny gloved hand in white kid beside Bracebrldge's larger ones. And then the eternal masculine as sumptiveness of soul arose in Brace bridge. He could not tell from whence came his sudden courage, but with a pounce he captured her fingers and threw his muscular arm around her. "You are mussing my frock; I will call Adolphe, you insolent man," she said, between gasps. The car ran to the curb and stepped with a jerk. When the door wa3 opened Bracebridge was saying: "I am clumsy, madam, in arranging your cloak, and I greatly fear your ruffles will be spoiled." He stepped out and looked around; they were back In front of the Casino again. / . "I thank you greatly that you will aid me at all, sir," she said, smiling. "I abducted you o na wager, sir, that I could carry off the first gentleman I saw at the Casino." "And may I see you tomorrow?" he asked, his soul in suspense. "The heart cannot be controlled," she whispered softly. "Drive on. Adolphe." The machine whirred away. "And now to purchase those cigar ettes," said Bracebridge. Something crackled in his coat pocket; he felt, and lt was a newspaper. "How did I get that?" he asked him self, opening it absently. The flaming headlines caught his eye: WOMAN IN RED AUTO ROBS ENGLISH Lo RD. Most Daring Scheme in Years-Lord Algernon the Victim. He put his hand in his change pock et where reposed his last flve-frano note, "a remnant of the last battle." "The devil; that girl has touched me!" he cried. "I was a fool not to think before what her game was. . . . But thank the gods that I am only a common person; they'll never know what a fool I've been, as they know about the Snglishucah. I don't believe I will smoke cigarettes tonight," he added, as an afterthought. He pulled out his old briar pipe, lighting it in silence; then he slowly took his way toward the hotel. " 'Tis sad to lose your money and your ideal on one summer's eve," he quoth, very crestfallen. (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) . Wine ad. Libitmv ? The old house between the Tiber and the Piazza Navona at Rome" are shortly to be pulled down, and with them an interesting old landmark the Osteria d-.i Orso, situated at tho corner of the ?ia del Orso and the Via Santa Lucia, writes an Italian, correspondent. This house once gave shelter to princes and poets-among the latter Dante and Goethe-aDd was at one time the most fashionable hos telry ir. Rome. It was particularly popular because the price of a roora some 50 cents-in the fourteenth cen tury comprised wine ad libitum, while in other inns the refreshments te which guests were entitled free of charge was limited to a certain port lion. \
