r V i Her Cl nee A Story of Old. New York By F. A. MITCHEL Olio ovenlng, something moro than 100 yoarg ago, a gentleman nml n lady were strolling on tho Battery In tbo city of Now York. At that time tho residential area bordering the park, which inherits its name from tho old New Amsterdam fort located on tho ground, was a very different section from what It Is now. Today It Is In tersected by elevated railroads, and tho loungers there are chiefly emi grants or persons out of employment Then In the houses bordering upon tho park lived tho most aristocratic fami lies of old New York. The gentleman mentioned was tall, dignified and wore tho costume of tho times, a beaver hat, ruilled shirt front bluo coat with brass buttons nnd n llarlug skirt; his pantaloons, as they were then called, tight except where thoy covered his boots. Tho lady wore tho bonnet of the period, skirt a la dlrectolrc, her shoulders covered with a laco shawl. Sho was a descendant of ono of the original Dutch settlers and a widow. "I am going to ask you onco more, Mrs. Van Zandt, and for the last time," said tho man, with that dignified court liness 'which has now passed Into oblivion, "to mako mo happy. You may remember that n year ago, on this very spot I asked you to honor mo by becoming my wife. You told mo that you lived and would live only for your son. Slnco then you havo treated mo, If not as a lover, at least as a dear friend. It is this that has em boldened mo to ask you to reconsider your refusal and confer upon me tho greatest happiness a woman can bo stow upon a man." Having mado this stilted proposal, ho waited for a reply. In accordance with the custom of those times tho lady's band rested on his arm. Ho felt her hand tremble. After a few mo ments of silence sho said: "I trust Mr. Travers, that you will not think me Insensible of tho honor you would confer upon me; an honor. I must admit of which I am scarcely worthy. But if my sou required my undivided attention a year ago ho needs it still more now. Since you aro my very dear friend, I will confide In you that ho has become Involved has Involved mo in a gambling debt. This Major Tllford, who has recently como to Now York, and who has secured social recognition by some of our best families, has succeeded in winning from Frank at cards some $4,000." "The rascal!" muttered Mr. Travers. "I havo drawn my check for tho amount nnd Frank will tomorrow pay the indebtedness. Ho has given mo his solemn promise never again to play at cards for money. But I know I shall have trouble In keeping him from tho temptation. Now you can un derstand -why ho needs ray first con , sldcratlon." Tho lovers were silent for a time. They -vverc standing on tho southern most part of tho Battery looking down the bay. A few ships were at anchor, while one was coming under full sail through tho Narrows, tho setting sun gliding her canvas. Present ly Mr. Travers said: "Will you permit mo to hand your check to Major Tllford. madam?" "With what object?" "Tf mnv hn hotter flint vour son should have nothing more to do with the man." "Perhaps you are right I shall con sider myself under a deep obligation to you. my dear Mr. Travers, If you will act In tho matter for me." "On tho contrary. I feel highly honored by your confidence." They returned to Mrs. Van Zandt's home, a modest two story brick build lug, In placo of which a modern sky scraper now stands, and Mrs. Van Zandt took from a lady's mahogany -writing desk with claw feet a check and handed It to Mr. Travers. He bent and kissed tho hand from which ho received It nnd, carefully avoiding turning his back to its owner, with drew. That samo evening a party of gentle men wero supping nt Frounces tavern, among their number Major Tllford. Mr. Travers entered tho dining room nnd, taking a seat, called for wine. Then ho -wrote on tho back of ono of his visiting cards a request for a few words In prlvnto with Major Tllford and sent tho card to that gentleman. Tho latter arose and. going to tho tablo whero Mr. Travers sat, bowed and said: , "1 am nt your service, sir." , "I am commissioned to hnnd you a check for money taken from a boy In his teens, who should have been protected Instead of swindled by you." ETo handed Tllford Mrs. Van Zandt's check, but tho hitter drew back. He had no sense of honor, but could not tell to what this matter might lend. Ho assumed a sense of honor he did not feel. "Are you nwaro. sir," ho said, "that this Is an Insult no gentleman can brook 7 Wero It not for the prejudice against tho code engendered by tho re cent affair between Mr. Ilnmllton and Mr. Burr you should answer for It on the field of honor." "The prejudice against dueling you speak of arises from n murder, not an affair of honor. I havo no fear of los- H lll-l UX'fr'lmMSJUJUJ'"' ll,-, l ' I'' ( I M ll 11 1.1' fVl-" V ll'l ' it "J'u' it (,. -i" I -ii il si-iiil a friend t you." "One moment, sir. Tb lady whose son you have swindled mt 'not be brought Into this affair, nnd it It to your Intorest, sir. thnt Its real cause should be concealed, lletnni to yoar friends. Presently I will arise to leave tho room. Plnco your foot In such po sition that I may trip on It I will re taliate by drawing my glovo ucrosH your face. You can then send your friend to mo without tho true cause of tho difference between us being known." "As you like, sir. Meanwhllo you may keep tho check. If you k. mo you mny return It to tho lady who wrote It. If I kill you"- "You can tako such action concern ing It as you see fit If you chooso now to decline it nnd will glvo mo u receipt for the amount of its faco this affair need go no further." Tllford made no reply to this for awhile, no was turning tho matter over in his mind. There wcro rensons why ho should rccedo from tho posi tion in which ho stood, but ho did not wish to give up tho plunder, nnd ho might possibly retain it without dam ago to his reputation. Travers was not known as a lighter, while Tllford came from tho south, whoro dueling was qulto common, and ho was an expert with both sword and pistol. "No, sir," ho said at last "You havo Insulted me, accused me, and my honor must bo vindicated." With that ho turned and went back to his companions. Nothing of tho conversation had been heard by them, and when Travers aroso and walked toward tho desk to pay his reckoning no ono was awaro that a pantomime was to bo enacted. As ho was walking leisurely past tho tablo where his adversary sat tho lat ter put out his foot and Travers stum bled against it "You did that on purpose, sir," ho said. "As you ploaso to consider it sir." Travers drew n glovo from a pocket nnd struck Tllford with it lightly on the cheek. Then ho passed in tho samo leisurely manner out of tho din ing room. When Tllford's second returned to him with Travers' reply to his chal lenge, tho southerner knit his brows. By assenting to bis enemy's plnn ho had given Travers tho chanco of placo and weapons. Tho conditions named by tho latter wcro pistols, in a dark room, each party to bo supplied with an unlimited number of weapons. This placed them on an equality, and Tllford lost tho advantage of his skill nnd reputation as a duelist Tllford was an impostor and a swin dler. Ho had forged letters of intro duction nnd had played young Vnn Zandt with marked cards. Believing that his true character would soon como out, he desired, if possible, to get the money on Mrs. Vnn Zandt's check and disappear. But In playing a gen tleman's gnmo ho had left tho check with Travers. He sent word to his adversary that ho would apologize for tripping him nnd tako Mrs. Van Zandt's check to her nnd tear it to pieces in her presence If this would bo ngreeablo to Mr. Travers. Travers was unwilling to trust him with tho check so long ns It was good at tho bank, but ho took sufficient time to go there and request that It should not bo paid If presented. Then ho sent it to Tllford, stating thnt his proposed terms were accepted, But be fore Tllford had timo to try to get tho check cashed Travers went to the bank and was there In concealment when Tllford hurried in nnd present ed tho check. Travers confronted him. "You scoundrel!" ho said. "Sign a receipt for tho amount you claim from young Van Zandt and give It to me. with this check, or go to jail." Tllford threw up the game and i agreed to the conditions. When the receipt had been drawn and signed and the check returned ho was per mitted to leave tho bank and the city and was never seen In Now Yorlc I again. Tho same evening Mr. Travers was announced In -tho drawing room of Mrs. Van Zandt. "Have you paid my son's Indebted ness?" sho asked. "I have, madam. There is tho re ceipt." lie handed it to her. She cast her eyes over It and was folding It when ho handed her her check. Sho looked at it. surprised, then nt him for an ex planation. "There was no legitimate debt." ho said, "duo from your son to this man Tllford. who was an impostor nnd a swindler. Ho returned your check nnd tilgned a receipt for tho amount ho had claimed in preference to going to Jail." "How did you prove him such?" "I gavo him my opinion of ono -who would tako money in such fashion from n minor. Ho still pretended to bo a gentleman and agreed to surrender tho check to you In person. Instead of doing so, ho presented It nt tho bank. I had taken tho precaution to stop payment on tho check and was at tho bank to recelvo tho rascal when ho enmo to draw tho money. I gavo him his choice between exposure nnd Its consequences nnd giving me. for you. these two papers." Mrs. Van Zandt's eyes wero dimmed with tears. Sho yearned to throw her self into her lover's nrms, but those wero times of great formality. "Mr. Travers." sho said, as soon ns sho could control her voice, "it seems, sir, that my son's Interests nro safer In your hands than In mine." With great composure he encircled her waist and took her hand; then ho drew her to him and kissed her. "Ah, mndnm, you have made mo tho happiest of men!" An Attack Thnt Wholly Demoralized the Partisan Rangers. Colonel .lohn S. Mosby. commander of the Partisan raujretN, who gave such dashing service In the noutliern cause, told of an amusing Incident la which he figured. In the summer of 1S04 when Cleneral Phil Sheridan was In the valley or tho Shenandoah he found htuwolf much harassed by Mosuy, who was continu ally cutting off his supply trains. An army cannot light on an emptf stom ach, and Mosby know It Ono bright morning Mosby heard that a long sup ply train was winding Its way down tho valley. By noon tho rangers In their gray uniforms wcro gathered at tho forks of tho valley pike, watching for tho head of tho wagon train to ap pear. Presently a cloud of dust was scon rising far up tho road, and ns tho wind blow It aside the Coufedorntcs caught sight of n lino of men in bluo escorting n enravan of lumbering wagons drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave tho order to run a little howitzer up on tho sldo of a hill and uullmbcr it As soon ns tho gun had opened flro tho rest of tho men wero to mako a cavalry chnrgo and throw tho train Into confusion. Tho rangers Jerked tho gun into po sition nnd began to swab It out Sud denly tho man with tho swab gave a shrill yell, seized tho seat of his panta loons nnd fled down tho hill and out Into tho road. Almost in tho samo moment the other man at tho gun abandoned it Ho seemed to, bo fight ing at tho air as ho disappeared over a stouo wall. Tho sutler's wagons woro creeping nearer, and Mosby did not know whnt to think of such extraordinary conduct Ho ordered four moro men to tho gun, but hardly hnd thoy reached it when they, too, yelled, began to boat tho air madly with their hats and took to flight. Spurring his horso over tho stono wall, Mosby rodo toward tho gun, but his stay was Bhort Tho howitzer otood Just over a hornets' nest, and those busy insects wcro resenting tho intru sion. They had repelled tho Invaders on foot, and now they swarmed on Mosby's horso till the maddened ani mal tore off down tho pike on a run. Then thoy turned their attention to the rest of tho troop. Their attack was so vicious that tho rangers gnvo up any idea of standing by tho gun. Thoy scattered far nnd wide, nnd It was an hour before thoy returned. When thoy did tho wagon train had safely vanished in tho dis tance. So tho hornets saved the day for Sheridan. Youth's Companion. Whero Science Fails. Science has wrought many achieve ments, but It has not cleared up u sin glo elemental mystery, and It has cre ated a thousand lesser mysteries that never wcro Imagined until science enmo. Sclenco has demonstrated thnt this oak of a world used to bo an acorn, but how that acorn enmo Into existence or whence It obtained tho latent elements that now havo become an oak science has not suggested. Scl enco has mado It possible for a manu facturer to cut down three trees in his forest nt 7:35 In tho morning, to havo thorn mado Into paper at 0:34 and to havo them selling on the street as nowspapers at 10:25, but whether the manufacturer himself Is n brain that has n mind or Is a mind that has a brain sclenco cannot oven guess.

To remove them stretch tho stained part over a bnsln nearly full of boiling water, so that the steam may pene trate tho fabric, and apply with a feather a fcaspoonful of salt dissolved In a dessertspoonful of lemon Juice. When the marks disappear dip the ma terial well into the hot water, after ward rinsing very thoroughly in cold water. Proved It Was Simple. In a registration booth In San Fran cisco an old colored woman had Just finished registering for tho first llmo. "Am you shore," sho asked the clerk, "dat I's done all I has to do?" "Quito sure." replied the clerk: "you see, It's very simple." "I's ought to knowed it." said the old woman. "If those fool men folks been doln It nil deso yenrs I might 'a' knowed It was a powerful simple proc ess." Life. Ho Plagued Him. Tho catcher was hnvlng an argument with tho umpire. "I'll fix you so you won't bo an epi demic any longer!" threatened tho um pire, beginning to loso his temper. "What do you mean by I won't bo an epidemic any longer?" asked tho catcher. "I'll send you to tho bench," return ed tho umpire, "nnd then you won't bo 'ptchln'." Pittsburg Press. Welcomed. "I'll havo to arrest you, said tho policeman.
