I M 2 i 1 N R n i -1 e f H t S J fcy -Ml ti i MmrsmmM he ISS aptaiti gfabaoi BY B MI CROKER Ailitapyomacceofoatfpiea CHAPTER VIII Continued Closer and closer he came his eyes bent on the ground his hands behind his back evidently lost in the deepest ab straction He had approached to within a few paces of the summer house Esmes Jieart was thumping as loudly as a big arum it seemed to her own terrified ears and that every other sound was swallow ed up Tii its audible pulsation Miles cahic nearer He was within a yard of the summer house and wbile they them selves were wrapped in darkness he hirii 4el stood in the full view of the search ing moonlight They could note the ac curacy of his tie the rather withered little Hower in his buttonhole the part ing of his hair the gold links in his shirt Scuffs Now he stood on the very step Then he turned slowly away and began to retrace bis footsteps Oh Ted I feel so dreadfully fright ened murmured Esnie I know Im very foolish for after all if he had come in and I had told him who you were there would have been so harm done Of -course he has never heard of me the famiy black sheep I boHeve Mrs Brabazon told him you were dead Upon my word She does not stick at a trifle Oh Teddy may not I cell him i You shall the moment I get my com missionno sooner Just -have patience Youre always so impetuous and in such a hurry about everything Im glad Ive had a good stare at him Hes a good- looking fellow very like that picture in the hall the chap with the dish cover and red sash that was killed at Naseby - I suppose you mean Rupert Brabazon tin the steel cuirass Yesr Im glad to have seen him nod ding his head toward his now distant cousin but I doubt if the satisfaction would be mutual were he to see me In another moment Esme had said a hurried good night to her brother dart ed round the corner of the summer house and buried herself in a thick dusky -walk which led straight to the friendly side door through which she vanished Milbs liad been a prey to Mrs Braba zonTall the evening her grand friends her health and her airs bound to her side by Strong social cords he could not get away but he had not been indiffer ent to the fact that Esme had stolen out of the room an hour ago He had seen her running down the pleasure ground Why should he not slip out too and me ander by her side through the shady walks under the chestnut trees instead of being pinned to the apron strings of aprosy egotistical old woman At last he rwas released and had come out in hopes of meeting Esme He was going away for a whole week and to return and learn his fate at the bachelors ball at Sandborough which was to take place within a week Something told him that the answer would be -Yes But that photo he had seen oh the moss at his feet that very morning Jiept protruding its ugly presence into his rosy dreams and trying to imbue his mind with the poi sonous taint of suspicion Who could it have been A man in Uniform No one that Esme cared a straw about he kept assuring himself but still it was a man in uniform His soul shrunk from the plain truth but was compelled to em brace it all the same Esme and his aunt liad positively assured him that she had no other suitor but himself and he be- lieved them He was not such an infidel as to doubt the solemn word of two ladies of his own family one -who bore the weight of years of uprightness and tke other who Iboked at him with eyes so true and so frank that if her tongue had dared to sttsr a falsehood they them selves would have betrayed her That meeting at the gate he had now put down to Miss Bell Yes he had been mistaken Esme and Miss Bell were friends she had been from home and she was an unusually tall young woman of almost masculine proportions Yes the apparition at the gate was peacefully laid It is wonderful how young men in love will eagerly furbish up and present excuses to themselves and accept them rather than be brought face to face with any little inlperfection or flaw in their divinity The photograph Miles boldly told himself was some public character Girls carried all manner of queer things in their pockets as he knew from his experience of his own sister Esme had a craze for collecting the photos of roy alties and celebrities Why should not lhat suspicious picture be the Crown Prince of Germany our own Prince of Wales or that handsome man the late Emperor of Russia What a fool he was not to have asked her He is an idiot about you said Gus sie one afternoon in a sudden burst of frankness and it is very plain that he has never been in love before if he had he would know better than to show his hand If he were to dissemble as they say in plays or to bully you a little it would be all the better fordiim poor de luded young man Prom which it will be seen that Augusta pitied Miles - CHAPTER IX The groat day of the bachelors ball at v Sandborough dawned at last and r had you been on the platform at Byford jyflout 2 oclock you would have seen TXrs Miss Jane her two ifieces her own maid Flack and Nokes ail departing with a world of baggage The two Miss Clippertons and their meek little mother filled up the compartment in which the Brabazons had taken their places They were two young ladies bound for the ball whose slangy conver sation nearly made Miss Janes hair come out of curl They wore their hair crop ped close to their heads very manly hats coats and collars and were an entirely novel experience to the dear old person with the bobbing curlsand worked black satin handbag They were going to the same hotel horror 1 their rooms were al ready taken v - J Z3StVrU s ---- 5 Avfe - T - J r EjqgiffiriMjffiaCBag H And now behold our party descending at the Town Hall and stepping delicately on the red cloth carpeting which was lined at either side by a dense discrim inating crowd who exchanged aiulible and critical remarks anent the arnying compans Miss Jane and Mrs Braba zon swept their young people on the stairs before them into the ladies wait ing room where great pulling out of skirts and fouzling of fringes and rear ranging of flowers was going on The new arrivals were carefully looked over by those already on the spot Who were these new girls was whispered How-ever-they had Some acquaintances who welcomed them cordially helping them to fake off- their wraps and en viec Esnie her first ball Indeed you need not envy me re turned that young lady emphatically if it were my fifth or sjxth I should be far iriore easy in my mind Feel me hold ing out her hand Im quite cold and Im shaking all over While this conversation was going on Mrs Brabazon had arrogated to herself an entire toilet table and was pulling out a ruffle here straightening a fold there and rearranging her diamond stars as de liberately as if she were in her own apart ment and not keeping an aristocratic old lady with a haughty nose and very white hair awaiting her good pleasure This old dame waited for some five min utes with ill concealed impatience and as she waited she had ample time to study the lady who was figuring before the glass with such aggravating tardi ness Suddenly she started looked scru tinizingly into Mrs Brabazons face and said in an awe struck tone Why Jupp I declare it is Jupp How do you come here measuring her and her velvet gown lace diamonds and all from head to foot Madam exclaimeS the other with a face the color of a brick what do you mean trembling violently all ovor I mean that it is a pretty thing that I should have to stand and wait while my sisters maid arranges herself at the look ing glass returned the other in a hard uncompromising tone and -with an inex orable eye I I am Mrs Brabazon of Barons ford replied that miserable woman you are making some mistake None whatever very decidedly whoever you are now you were and are Jupp you cant deny it and you know me you have brushed my hair and but toned my boots many and many a time I am Lady Augusta Sharpshooter and you are my sisters Hush Lady Augusta implored the other for mercy sake hush You are quite right I have become what you see the widow of a gentleman of fortune I entreajt you to keen my secret pleaded Mrs Brabazon brought to her knees for once in her life and in truth a most ab ject spectacle At this moment Gussie and Esme came forward accompanied by Miss Jane and declared that they were quite ready now if she was and with an extraordinary effort to regain her composure and one beseeching glance at her austere old acquaintance Mrs Brab azon was carried away No words could paint her feelings she felt that a veri table sword of Damocles was hanging over her head She had no spirit to seek out and attach herself to the great ones of the land She sat alone and aloof for fully half the evening reviling fate for havingsent Lady Augusta across her path and asking herself what the world would say when they were acquainted with her former career As Esme stood under the gallery and gasad timidly about her she felt abso lutely daszled the immense hall was filled by a gay crowd who were walking standing sitting after the second dance Miles had appeared on the scene full of apologies for his tardy arrival the sole fault of the train whicht was late He could hardly believe his eyes when he beheld Esme floating around with such grace looking even more lovely than the image he had fondly carried away in his mind Certainly there was no doubt that this dress was an adornment and that even Esme was more beautiful in this silvery gauze garment with pearls on her neck flowers in her hands excite ment in her eyes than in her ordinary common white gown even when -re-enforced by the crimson parasol - I have kept two dances for you said she holding out her hand with a smile What Only two ungratefully Yes lancers and waltz Aunt Jane lowering her voice made me -promise not to dance more than twice with any one Not even with me expressively- Not even with you Here Esmes partner made a bow and retired grace fully Evidently he said to himself the dark fellow was the man I sippose your card is full Yes I cant believe it smiling for I dont know anyone in the room Isnt it funny Excessively funny inost unaccounta ble repliqd Miles with a smile quiver ing under his mustache But who is your friend opposite the man with the shiny face who is nodding at you like a mandarin Oh loqk away look away he is a horror I met at the Toppiugtons Christ mas party Esme whispered her sister breath lessly over her shoulder theres little Madden and he is coming over he has caught your eye mind you mount your very highest horse t Now for it said Miles as alittle man rtvith a red face and the tallest of col lars and an air of being on admirable terms with himself advanced with a kind of grin So charmed to see you Miss Braba zon this is indeed a treat Hope you have kept a couple of dances for me No I have not very stiffly returned the young lady ostentatiously avoiding the proffered hand yyipijii wiMi m1 ww ii i i niiw ipiw my in timmtmamtt wfMmmmMWjr N q i - w uipwuio Ah but youre gong to da Juce thlj with me are you not or the next Il get you lots of partners Dont yourec ollect me in a tone slightly tinged witS amazement We bad the pleasure of meeting at Mrs Tops I do not remember the pleasure re turned Esme with verjr emphatic signi ficance while Miles and Gussie exchang ed glances of the keenest delight But even this snub had but little effect on Mr Madden He rose to the sur face with cork like buoyancy and boldly demanded at least one dance and his per sistent entreaties were only cut short by Miles leading his partner away to take their places in one of the rapidly form ing sets of lancers I did not thing you had it in you to snub anyone but me Poor beggar you were awfully rough on him said Miles as they came to anchor Rough You dont know him vi ciously At the Toppingtons party he was quite quite Intoxicated suggested her compan ion interrogatively Yes very much so he actually took me for a school girl and had the impu dence to try to kiss me under the mistle toe growing rather red and speaking very fast Confounded cad muttered Miles looking over in the direction of Mr Mad den with a countenance now the reverse of indulgent ot sympathetic I suppose said he looking round that you are as great a stranger to all these people as I am and you dont know anyone from Adam Not quite so bad as all that respond ed Esme with a smile some of the Maxton and Byford people are here There you see that nice looking lady over there in the white lace shawl sh AJj Bells sister and between yoti 6a me that is Mrs Bells shawl lowering her voice to a whisper Oh and the girl near her in the swell dress That is a bride and the old gentle man with the bald head holding her fan is her husband She is his fourth wife Oh come now in a tone of amused expostulation She is indignantly She is a courageous woman ejacu lated Miles How do you do Miss Brabazon said a tall plain girl in a pink dress accost ing Esme in the tea room while Miles was procuring her a cup of coffee ad dressing her with such warmth that sha felt quite taken aback for she had only met Miss Courtenay Green at one or twe garden parties and then she had barely deigned to notice her save by a few tepid monosyllables and a fishlike clasp of the hand Your first ball I suppose I hope you are enjoying it eying Esmes dress as she spoke with an air of critical inspec tion looking at it sideways and front ways and evidently not merely apprais ing its value but taking the pattern in her eyes as she drawled forth remarks about the band the floor and the lights in an abstracted manner Is that your cousin Captain- Brabazon she asked having at length summed up Esmes ball costume the dark young man who was dancing with you lowering her voice mysteriously Yes The one who has come in forjisuch heaps of money with still greater ani mation Very good looking too 1ou may introduce him to me when he comes back Here he is eagerly Now with a sharp nudge from a still sharper elbow Miles said Esme in the innocence of her heart what ages you have been getting this coffee Miss Courtenay Green wishes you to be introduced to her Miss Courtenay Green beamed and bowed with laudable presence of mind but felt at the moment that she would have been almost justified in having Miss Brabazons life However Miles duly begged leave to inscribe his name on her rather empty program and led his part ner once more back to the ball room To be continued iau - 3t jkit - - - 4r PRECIOUS GEMS ARE GUARDED Tlie Dealers Make Careful Note of All Changes in Their Ownership The dealer in precious stones keeps remarkable account of the valuable gems which come into this country His business does not end when he suc ceeds in disposing of a precious stone or mounted piece at a good round fig ure He can tell how many times it has changed hands since it reached these shores and usually he can tell every person in the country who owns anything in gems worth knowing about This city is the great center of these dealers as it is through this port that practically all gems enter The American woman buys the finest diamonds that can be had in the medi um sfzes in which the purest stone comes The mine from wrhich the most beautiful stones are taken at Jaegers fontein in the Orange Free State has been shut up as a great reef encoun tered made it unprofitable to mine fur ther The next best diamonds come from Wesselton about fifty two miles from Kimberley and that too is shut up on account of the wrar The finest large diamond which evei tcameinto this country belonged to the Morgan collection It weighed twenty five carats and sold for about 100000 There was one diamond of 12S carats sold in this city and another Kimberley stone of seventy six carats but both were tinged with color and not nearly so valuable ls tlie Morgan gem An other single diamond sold in this- city less than three years ago for 42000 and it is now owned by a Western woman The American woman likes her diamonds not by ones or twos but by dozens and hundreds and these are -formed into tiaras necklaces corselets corsages and hair bouquets and sprays all arranged with or without other stones and so that they can be easily detached and worn in separate pieces As the wealthy families of this coun try come Into possesion of a large num ber of diamonds their taste turns to ward colored stones The ruby is pre eminently the next in favor and prices higher than those paid for diamonds rare given for it Two years ago a firm in this city sold a single ruby for 25 000 Last year there eaine a demand for the emerald and a single beautiful stone in the autumn brought a dealer 20000 New York Eveninc Post The Department of State has been ad vised of the penalties inflicted by the Chinese Government upon the persons alleged to be responsible for the recent murder of Mr Brooks the English mis sionary in the province of Chan Tung One man has been beheaded one stran gled one sentenced to imprisonment for life and six for a term of ten years The people of the village where the murder occurred are required to erect a monu ment on the spot with an inscription of warning against future attacks upon for eigners and the Government has con tributed 7500 taels about 5000 for a chapel near by It is claimed that the persons executed for the murder of Mis sionary Brooks were not actually guilty of the crime but were substitutes hired by the real assassins to suffer the penal ties of death This is frequently done in China and as the leaders of the mob that murdered Missionary Brooks were men of importance in the community and have the sympathy of the officials it is highly probable that they would be able to hire others to take their places In six months it will be a whole half century since Galusha A Grow was elected for his first time in Congress As Mr- Grow sat in his seat listening to the debate on the Nicaraguan canal bilL John Sherman came into the House and took an adjoining seat Sherman entered Congress only a little later in the fifties and has been everything but President Then Representative Hitt of Hlinoisf with continuous service in diplomatic and congressional life spanning twenty sis years moved up and joined his elders The group illustrated marvelously what former President Harrison calls the pos sibilities of American citizenship The last quarter of the fiscal year end ing March 31 1900 was a record breaker in the sale of postage stamps the total for the three months reaching 1080151 515 stamps valued at 20755119 High water mark up to this time was reached in the corresponding quarter ending March 31 1898 when the total was 969 316538 stamps valued at 18611635 but it will be seen that the last quarter exceeded that amount by 111000000 stamps and 2144 000 There is evi dence that the present quarter may go ahead of the last For years the two beautiful doors at the entrance of the White House have been grained in imitation of black wal nut but in the spring cleaning this year Col Bingham ordered the paint scraped off so as to have them done over To the astonishment of everybody it was discovered that the doors were of solid mahogany and of beautiful grain Col Bingham ordered them restored to their original native condition and is now try ing to find out who had them painted Secretary Gage will disburse about 25500000 within the next three months for payments on the 2 per cent bonds As fast as this money is paid out the Secretary will call upon the national banks to replace the money The 2 per cent bonds are mostly held by the banks which receive the money for them and the return of government deposits to the treasury is designed to equalize the circu lation throughout the country Last year we sent furniture to eighty four different countries the total valua tion being 3571375 The trade is grow ing rapidly

CONQUERED South African Strnssrle Has Entered Upon a Stace Which Perplexes the British Roberts Attacks Botha bnt Pails to Whip Him Interest in the Transvaal war has been greatly increased by the surprising turn events have taken since Lord Roberts entered Pretoria remarks the Chicago News in reviewing the South African sit uation The day after that event which was generally accepted in Europe and in America as heralding the close of the struggle Lord Roberts line of communi and the mili cation was cut at Roodeval tia battalion of the Derbyshire regiment guarding the railway was- compelled after heavy loss to surrender This wiping out of a battalion and the news that Lohl Methueir way engaged in fierce fighting near Heilbron at once gave a new aspect to the war It was perceived that the taking of Bloemfontein and Johannes burg and Pretoria were incidents not crises to the mobile forces of the Boers and that in turn they were applying Lord Roberts tactics to himself Whether this rear attack and severing of the line of communication by destruction of the railway for twenty miles will have the result of compelling Lord Roberts to a retrograde movement remains to be seen The later reports that Bloemfontein had been retaken by the Boers and that De wet at the head of 13000 men was marching against Johannesburg lack con firmation Gen Kelly Kenny has in part retrieved the disaster at Roodeval by defeating the force of burghers who cut the British line of communications but the fact remains that the war has entered upon a new and perplexing stage to the British This new phase cannot properly be called guer rilla warfare any more than the move ments of the American forces after the British capture of Washington in 1814 couldbe s6 called In each case the fight ing forces remained intact the scene only of the conflict was changed In the case of the Transvaal it is evi dent that British occupation of Pretoria and Bloemfontein will be precarious un til the main body of the Boers has been met and defeated in battle That would probably not be a difficult thing for the British to accomplish with their enor mously superior forces but the tactics of the Boers are wisely to prevent such a pitched battle By breaking up into comparatively small but effective detach ments and striking swiftly as at Roode val the Boers may be able to prolong the war for some months yet Their success in this direction is likely to in spire them with renewed hope and en ergy It is this fact rather than the ac tual loss of a battalion of men that dis turbs London and England to day Gen Kelly Kennys success and the fact that Gen Buller has at last pierced the Drak ensberg mountains and entered the Or ange Free State with the result of mak ing the Boer position at Laings Nek un tenable are the relieving features in the situation from the British point of view Lord Roberts has fought a battle with Gen Botha at the end of which though the British gained considerable ground the Boers were not beaten Roberts line of communication was partially restored by a victory gained by Gens Methnen and Kitchener over Gen Dewet The Boer camp was captured and the burgh ers it is added were scattered As matters now stand it looks as if the Boers might maintain the unequal strug gle for a long time and this considera tion in connection with the grave events occurring in China has brought the English people to a more serious mood than it has known since the earlier and darker days of tlie war DECREASE IN WHEAT ACREAGE Government Statistician Reports on Crops Through the Country The monthly report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture states that as a result of a special investigation relative to the winter wheat acreage plowed up or cut for forage the depart ments estimate of the area remaining under cultivation has been further re duced by 1G7G000 acres the area aban doned in addition to that announced May 10 comprising 581000 acres in Ohio 79 000 acres in Michigan 220000 acres in Indiana 318000 acres in Illinois and 448000 acres in California This brings ihe area in winter wheat remaining under cultivation on June 1 down to 27008000 acres a reduction from the area sown in the fall of 5240000 acres Notwithstanding this further reduction of acreage by the elimination of all land entirely abandoned the condition of win ter wheat declined during May G2 points the condition on June 1 being S27 against 8S9 on May 1 073 on June 1 3899 908 at the corresponding date in 1S98 and a ten year -average of S07 Preliminary reports on the spring wheat acreage indicate a reduction of about 567000 acres or 29 per cent Min nesota Wisconsin and Oregon report a reduction of 4 per cent North Dakota and Nebraska of 5 per cent and Iowa of 6 per cent In South Dakota and Wash ington there is an increase of 1 per cent The average condition of spring wheat on June 1 was 873 as compared with 914 on June 1 1899 Minnesota falls 10 North Dakota 17 South Dakota 11 and Wisconsin 9 points below their respec tive ten year averages On the other hand the ten year averages are exceeded in Nebraska Iowa Oregon and Washing ton by 15 1 4 and 9 points respectively The total reported acreage in oats ex ceeds the acreage harvested last year by 39 per cent There is an increase of 1G per cent in Ohio 28 per cent in Indiana 9 per cent in New York 3 per cent in Pennsylvania and Wiscorin and 1 per cent in Minnesota The average condi tion of oats is 917 The warning just sent out by the State Department against the swindling adver tisements relating to pretended estates in England awaiting claimants is only a repetition of similar warnings and it is not expected that it will put an end to these frauds The English attorneys who are engaged in this
