Captain Meroviuge spoke wittily of the arts, of Paris, with an wiry pointediiess of Cairo, and then passed on with a fine enthusiasm to dwell ou the twin services and their affection for each other, while Francois, speaking into a small, shell-like ear, dwelt at length upon the sad beauty of the uU'ht, ou music, on sontr, on—well, amatory problems. His original desire to ingra tiate himself into the good graces of the English girl for a time had by the conclusion of the evening merged into a resolve to wlu her favor for always. It matters not at all that a French man's "always" is often bounded by the day after tomorrow. & Let it be owned and at once that Cordelia behaved outrageously. Colo nel Lenuard did not appear to nolieo. Pat Cannon, who spent the whole night "The French arc in the bay," lie said. aud part of the day in his shirt sleeves working like a navvy with successive gangs of men behind the northeast face of the fortification, if he disapproved, did so unobtrusively, and the French commander beamed propitiously around him. As for Francois, cold English cannot convey his sentiments. After dinner they went up to the roof, and the young Frenchman mur? mured in the moonlight of loneliness. "Yes, I am very lonely—sometimes, admitted Cordelia, with a little air of sadness which seemed from the heart. "Speak to me. Tell me of your lone ly hours, mademoiselle. I cau feel for 3rou. I also have been lonely." Mademoiselle merely smiled divinely. She knew better than to inflict her thoughts on Francois. With a woman's art she put the next question. "How can you know? You have com panions, friends"— "Companions? What are they?" he replied. "The soul is lonely and full of longing until the happy hour arrives when all the solitude is made up for by the touch of that ope adorable sym pathy a man has to dream of." Cordelia gazed out across the shining water to where the spars of the Loup garou trembled in shadow on the tide. "La recompense," she said in a low tone. Then, shaking her head slowly, she added, "But such meetings are rare." "Rare, yes"—he ventured to bend to ward her—"but not unknown. Say to me, I implore you, not unknown!" Cordelia allowed him to meet a flying glance from under her long lashes. "The delight of such ,a meeting is en hanced by its rarity," ho continued. "Mademoiselle, have you never met with one who could understand you?' Cordelia's fair face looked pretermit urally sad and wistful under the moon as she said in a low voice: "Have youV" Francois afterward declared that ho could have died of that charming whis per. "Tonight, mademoiselle!" he answer ed rapturously. And then—ah, evil fate!—it was time to say good night aud depart in the captain's gig. But even separation had its alleviations. He paced the deck of the Loup-garou during his watch and saw the daylight grow into a pallid cir cle through the porthole of his cabin while lie still dwelt ecstatically not only upon Miss Lennard's claims to admira tion—her eyes, her hair, her ligure, even her pretty, hesitating French, al though it was the French of Montreux and Brussels—but also upon the flatter ing response his attentions had drawn from her. In the morning Merovinge took occa sion to congratulate him on his suc cess. "That appeared to go"—here Me rovinge winked in a highly complimen tary manner—"as the Americans say, on vecls!" Francois replied with happy self ap preciation, adding a warm comment upon Miss Lennard's attractions. "She is beautiful? Ah. yes! Have I not said that there are English women —ah, the most bewitching?" The cap tain sighed retrospectively. "I? Yes, yes, I know it!" But Francois had little interest to squander upon Merovinge's past tri umphs. "The back of mademoiselle's neck," he went on, "white, innocent, exquisite —one sees its counterpart only in a lit tle child or in the picture of an angel." Merovinge came back from his own tender recollections with some dissatis faction. "Indeed?" ho said rather coldly. He had not observed the back of made moiselle's neck, but he was prepared to take its charms on trust. Meantime Francois could have all the leave he' found necessary to fulfill the duty, Franco required of him. The party from the fort that came aboard the Loup-garou for dejeuner in cluded Colonel Lenuard, his daughter and a pink faced young subaltern of marines. Cordelia was handed up the gangway by the incomparable lieutenant. He paraded her about the deck. He spoke to her of his hopes and his struggles, of his past, of his future, of his ambi tions. He was plainly making rapid headway in the girl's heart, judging from the absorbed attention with which she listened to ills rhapsodies. She plied him with such apt and intelli gent questions. She realized, with a fullness the affections alone can teach, how great wore the dangers he must face in his career, the storms, the fe vers and the elimales. lie perceived himself to be the envy of lils comrades iu arms and glowed with a racial exaltation of spirit. When .Pat Cannon came aboard later, smart, & Mr Wf ^:}, -r.'rj traight, alert, us usual, witn many apologies for the delay duty had forced upon him, Francois received him with effusion. This kindly feeling was yet further increased when he observed Cannon go up to Miss Lennard and say a few words, to which the young lads gave a short answer and promptly turned her back upon him. "You can fetch your adorer and his monkey gang along any time tomor row," Pat Cannon had said, rather sourly, it must be admitted, for Cor delia's behavior toward the dapper French lieutenant pleased him little. She was playing a part perhaps, but it appeared to him that she entered into the fnu, if fun it was, with a quite un called for amount of zest and enjoy ment. Cordelia only replied, "Very well." in her coldest tones and took up the running with Francois immedi ately. O Now, Francois had had his own prep arations to make for the reception of his fair guest. Early in the morniug after shaviug he had occupied himself in his cabin by taking down the photo graphs of the girls of yesterday, his l'ormor conquests, aud hiding them in a book. It was not desirable that the present and the past should meet. So Coralie of the Opera Comique and haudsome Marie Girrol of Marseilles, the girl who lives beyoud the market, were deposed. Now, it must be understood that Francois in the depth of his conscious ness recognized the fleeting character ol' his own regard for the English girl, yet he desired above all things on earth to leave upon her memory a tcuder recollcction of himself that should nev er be effaced. In the future lie would dwell with a delicate pleasure upon the know ledge that faraway Cordelia Len nard still sighed for his loss, still treas ured his words and looks in her heart. Even wheu married to some dull, coarse grained British husband she would turn back through the years with appreciation of the superb young lover of long ago. Filled with those praiseworthy inten tions, he fluttered about her, endeavor ing to deepen the impression he believ ed himself to have already made. The wind had blown the soft chestnut curls about her brow, her ears, her neck, and she seemed more than ever adorable. He took her below to show her where her lieutenant lived. He fancied she would always picture him there, his hair wet with the spindrift of the stormy seas and other heroic concomi tants. She would make that cabin the home of her romance. As a matter of fact, she didn't. She merely thought it stuffy, but was too civil (aud inter ested) to say so. By an unfortunate mistake she put her hand upon a book that lay upon the table, the book into which Fran cois had put the j'esterdays. A yester day fell out. It was a striking photo graph of Coralie of the Opera. Fran cois picked it up skillfully. "My beloved mother," he said, "be fore her marriage to the hero, my fa ther." "Which?" asked Cordelia innocently She had caught sight of more than one. "The others are my sisters." he has tened to add. "You have a great many sisters," she remarked, with interest. "How many?" Now, Francois had no means of knowing the exact number of yester days which Miss Lennard's sweet blue eyes had seen, so ho left an easy mar gin and answered: "Fourteen!" "Really? Fourteen? Do let me see them." "Spare me ycur eyes, your"— "Where are you. Cordelia? Time's up!" The colonel's big voice roiled through the open door from the mess room. "You are coming ushore tomorrow?" asked Cordelia timidly. "We—we could go over the fort. Your friends might like to come also?" Francois was transported with his luck. "Alas, dear mademoiselle." he re plied, "with what joy and dispatch would I come! To see the fort nat urally affords me precisely the excuse I need to bring some of my comrades with me, but that favor is denied to us by your jealous country." Cordelia stood for a second thought ful. "Should you really care to come?' she asked demurely at length. The ardor of his reply left nothing tc be desired. "Then I think I can manage it. My father always allows me to do as like. Why should we not go over tlu fort?" She looked inquiringly at him. "But Captain Cannon what of him?" Soino instinct told Francois that Cannon's red head held the acuteat material available at Fort Teheu. Cordelia opened her eyes with a cer tain dignilied astonishment. "Are you not aware that my father is the commandant Had Francois belonged to any other race ho must have betrayed his real meaning by seme useless denial. As it was, ho tried to touch the Augers that somehow eluded his. while lie replied with a line theatrical earnestness: "I eomp:\«hcnd that, dear mademoi selle. but were I M. le Capitaine Can non 1 should use every artilice to keep other men from worshiping at the shrine of mv own devotion." Cordelia colored. "My father is calling me." she an swered coldly. lie followed her on deck, trying (o soften her evident annoyance, but it was only at the last moment, when she was already on the gangway, that he ventured to wV.sper. "A domain?" but Cordelia gave no ri?ii. Thus r.iiotlK day passed. The Re becca arrivrd with coal and the little gunbeat was filling up her bunkers when Francois in desperation sent au He pho. .ijrctphcd her in many plaaca. imploring note to Miss Lennard beg ging her to see him again that If it fa cilitated matters the whole ship's com pany were ready to go ashore with him, for in the interval lie had begun to Imagine that Cordelia's invitation to others besides himself meant a natural WWW«W si "SB** «$rs '•^W: J. (TO BE CONTINUED.] ?f & desire ou her part to veil lier real mo tive, which was no doubt to secure a tete-a-tete. A couple of hours later on invitation to luncheon arrived from Colonel Len nard for Captain Merovinge and the officers of the Loup-garou. Francois was naturally of the party that went ashore in response. He had no nufti ner of doubt that the festivity had been worked by Cordelia and was in some shape an answer to his impas sioned appeal. Tlic WroiiK Lcpr, There was an eminent sergeant at law some years ago who had a cork leg that was a triumph of artistic decep tion. None but his intimates knew for certain which was the real and which was the sham limb. A wild young wag of the "outer bar," who knew the ser geant pretty well, once thought to util ize this knowledge of the sergeant's se cret to take in a green, newly fledged young barrister. The sergeant was ad dressing a special jury at Westminster In his usual earnest and vehement style, and the wag whispered to his ueighbor: 'You see how hot old Buzfuz is over his case. Now, I'll bet you a sovereign I'll run this pin into his leg up to the head and he'll never notice it, he's so absorbed in his speech. He's a most ex traordinary man in that way." This was more than tiie greenhorn could swallow, so ho took the bet. The wag took a large pin from his waist coat and, leaning forward, drove it up to the head In the sergeant's leg. A yell that froze the blood of all who heard it, that made the hair of the jury stand on end and the judge's wig almost fall off, rang through the court. By Jove, It's the wrong log! I've lost my money," cxelaimcd the dismayed and conscience stricken wag, quite re gardless of the pain he had inflicted up on the learned sergeant.—London An swers. To JndRc the Age of Incc. In fixing the approximate date of any given piece of lace it is well to re member that machiue made thread was not used till after the beginning of the eighteenth century. Before that time the threads ran in lengths of about twenty inches, for the worker could stretch no farther than her distaff and had to break off aud join agaiu, so that after unraveling some twenty-live inches of thread no joint is found the lace is surely after the introduction of machine made thread. The "bride's ornee" alone are enough to go by. In the fifteenth century the bar had only a knot or a dot as ornament, in the sixteenth a double or siugle loop aud in the seventeenth a star. The edging also helps. A sharp angle in the scal lop fixes the date in the middle ages, the rounded scallop came in with the nineteenth century, with the seven teenth a dotted scallop, and the eight eenth century one is more elaborate, a large alternating with a small scallop and dots aloug In the center of each.— Connoisseur. Somo Tyrolean EpitnpliN. A German traveler has discovered some quaint epitaphs Iu a Tyrolean cemetery. On a tombstone In a valley of Tux was this inscription: "In pious remem brance of the honest widow Anna Kriedi, forty years long." A miller is thus remembered: "In Christian memory of II who de parted this life without human assist ance." A farmer whose initials only are given and who appears to have been the author of his own epitaph lias tills memorial: "Here rests iu God F. K. lie lived twenty-six years as man and thirty-seven years as husband." On the tomb of a man who fell from a roof and was killed are these words: "Hero fell Jacob IloseunUopf from the roof into eternity." This wail of a desolate husband caps the climax: "Tears cannot hriug the© back to life. Therefore I weep."— Household Words. She Needed Them. "I wish, John." she said regretfully, "I had had sense euougli not to destroy nil'the letters you wrote me during the yetfr and a half of your courtship." He smiled in a gratllied way. "1 knew you would regret that some time." he said. "Indeed I do," she replied. "I ueed a little change the worst sort of way, and the man who buys rags and old pa per was here today. IIow wasteful wo are in our youth!" He looked at her reproachfully, and almost involuntarily his hand sought his pocketbook. It is seldom indeed that a resourceful woman has to make a direct request for mouey.—Chicago Post. Farnttnre Polish. ... A recipe for a very superior furni ture polish given by a dealer in musical instruments to a housewife as lhe cause for the shining surfaces of the pianos in his rooms cousists of four tablespooufuls of sweet oil. four table spoonfuls of turpentiue, a teaspoonful of lemon juice and ten drops of house hold ammonia. This polish must be thoroughly shaken before using and ap plied with an old tlaunel or silk cloth. Hub briskly and thoroughly, which is at least a third of the merit of all pol ishes. Use a sccoud cloth to rub the mixture into the grain of the wood and a third for the linal polish. Gntinu: a I'IneuppIe.
