M a Ml An Atlantic Episode By CHARLES LEWIS PHIPPS I confess that In going ubout my chief pleasure Is watching other persons. Coming over the Atlantic ocean to America on a liner I picked out u moth er and daughter ns worthy of my at tention. A young man had been Intro duced to the daughter, who seemed to be very well pleased with him. The mother was also well pleased that the daughter wns well pleased. The young man was well pleased too. What struck my delicate perceptlvo faculties was that the mother's pleasure in the matter seemed to arise from n sense of relief. How or why I Inferred this I can't explain. A woman would under stand It without nn explanation. As for a mail, you couldn't slick It into him with a hatpin These two young things were get ting on llko two mating turtledoves when one day, tlio girl being on deck, I saw her go to tho stern of the ship. Tho weather was bad, and 1 was the only other woman on deck. 1 scudded along after the girl on tho oth er side of the smokestack and deck houses till she reached tho limit to the first class part of tho ship and she stood looking out on to the second class part. A young man nppcarcd. Uo saw tho girl, but he didn't seo me, for 1 was crouching under a lifeboat Uo threw n kiss to tho girl, who, nfter looking around to seo that sho was not ob served, returned It In kind. Now, wasn't that Interesting? Of course It wouldn't havo been half so Interesting If It hadn't been for the other young man the girl had met on tho voyage. Sho was fooling her moth or with him. The real lover, whom tho mother condemned, was traveling sec ond clas ho that It wouldn't bo known to tho girl's mamma that ho was on the ship. Now, what wns the upshot of nil this? In order to keep track of It 1 must be up and doing. I mustn't let the slightest Incident escape me. And I didn't. A couple of days after this, when It was stormy, I, remembering that lovers chose Just such weather to send kiss es, went on deck early and stayed all day, having n steward bring up my lunch. About dusk the girl camo up. and I knew by her looks that some thing was up. She didn't know It, but out of the corner of my eye I saw her scowl nt me. I was tho only woman on deck. She didn't care for tho men. She could fool them, but sho couldn't fool me That girl scudded along to the after part of he ship wlhout any one seeing her except me, and Just as the dark ness was settling down sho was lot to view. In about an hour from that time theio was the biggest racket aboard that ship you ever saw. The girl had disappeared, and her mother was wild about her. One or two of tho men who wore on deck when she camo up reported having scon her, but none of them saw the last of her. But her mother abused' them so frightfully for not keeping an eye on her, especially as the ship was rolling badly, that aft er awhile one of tho sailors said: "Missus, we didn't want to hurt yer feelln's. The truth is I saw the young lady sklddin' along till she struck the port rail about midship, and uforo I could get my hnuds'on her she toppled over." This, If It had not boon for tho dis tress It gave the poor mother, wo'dd havo been amusing. I was bound I wouldn't give the girl away, and yet 1 couldn't bear to seo the mother suf fer. Wo were to reach port the next morning, and somehow I doubted If the mother believed her daughter had gone overboard. The Inttorknow mighty well that she was trying to keep her from a young man, and I don't doubt that It was probable sho was some where on the ship. Sho had a thorough search made of the first class portion and a perfunctory search made of the second class, but none of the steerage I didn't know and 1 don't know now Vow tho lovers managed It, but I know Mint I would have dono had I been one of them. I would have gone, at least temporarily, from tho secoud class cabin to the steerage and remain ed there till the fuss blew over. They could easily have, got some emlgraut clothes and, besides, could havo dodg ed any ono looking for them. The next day nothing was said about tho girl who was seen to plungo Into the ocean. The passengers wero busy gottlng roady to go ashore, and perhaps they hadn't time to coucorn them selves about a person they didn't even know personally. Seeing a group or three persons standing together wait ing to go down tho gangplank 1 ap proached them They wero tho mother and daughter and a young man who boro a Strang resemblanco to tho sec ond class passenger who had been throwing kisses during tho voyage. Tho mother looked sour enough to blto off a null. Tho daughter looked 111 at ease, but tho young man seemed to be quite proud of himself. Tho only way I could dud out nbout what had taken place was to remain aboard till after tho passengers had gono ashore and Interview somo of the officers. This I did and learned that tho girl having joined her lover in tho second class part of tho ship was mar ried there and returned before mid night with hor husband. It was agreed by nil that slnco tho ship would soon reach port the matter need not be explained. Morris and His Furniture. In "William Morrls-HIs Work and Intluenco" Is retold how tho two fi lends, Uurnc-Joucs and Morris, net ting out to keep house together In tho now historic rooms, 17 Hod Lion square, found themselves confronted with the unondurnblo ugliness and vul garity of mld-VIctorlnu furniture. Says Mr. Cluttou-IJrock: "Their rooms were to bo furnished, and Morris could jjpt find In any shop a single new tabic or chair that ho could endure. This was not mere fas tidiousness. To him vulgarity In furni ture wns, like vulgarity of manners, the expression of n wrong state of mind, and If his own furniture had been vulgnr ho would have felt as re sponsible for It ns for his own man ners. Therefore ho designed furniture to please himself, making drawings that were carried out by a carpenter. Thus Pimply mid naturally ho began his business of 'poetic upholsterer.' From tho first lie was not only nn artist, but one who tried to make tho world whnt ho wished It to be and, beginning with armchairs, end ed with society." Theatrical Superstitions. Paris, a city of theaters, Is full of theatrical superstitions. Nearly every ono associated with the theater has somo sort of mascot. Thus, M. Fer nand Samuel, manager of tho Vnrlotes, always wears an old and battered straw hat as a luck brlnger nt every first night. Mine. Kistorl used to walk In a cemetery on the day when sho had to appear lu a new part, and .Mile. Uroval collects old horseshoes. Mile. Mary Garden always consults a clairvoyant before undertaking a new character, and Cora Laparcerlo and Mine. Iierthe Uady never dream of going on the stngo without touching wood. M. Henri Ilernsteln believes that there Is somo curious fetish lu tho name Znmbo. lie puts It in all his plays with different orthography. There is always a character called Zambenu, Zambault, Zambonux, Zam ban. London Lpre.ss. Sound Deflection. Sound docs not always travel through tho air in u straight Hue. It often happens that two zones of sound nre separated by n zone of silence. In 100S nn explosion of dynamite on the rail road then building up the Jungfruu was heard In two different zones. Tho first extended through a radius of for ty kilometers around the explosion. Tho other began at a distance of 110 kilometers, the sound being unheard In tho Intervening 100 kilometers. Sim ilar phenomena had been observed elsewhere, and physicists tried to ex plain them by the reflexion of the sound waves from certain atmospheric strata. Professor FuJIwhnra, who has studied such matters during volcanic eruptions In Japan, asserts now that those phenomena depend upon tho di rection of the wind In tho middle strain of tho atmosphere. He Would Find Out. Ilenry Irving in his early days once played a part which In the first net called for a dark stage. In this dark ness ho fought with an old earl, throw him heavily, and when ho did not rise nfter the loud thud of his fall Irving would cry out: "Great heavens, what have I done?" Ono night ho played tho part In n small English town. A. stage hand was very much Impressed with the piny, and to hlin the scenes quickly became real, so that when Irving reached the climax, felled the old earl to the ground and spoke the line "Great heavens, what have I done?" ho was startled to hear tho stage hand say In n loud voice: "Strlko a match and wo'll have a look." New Yoik Globe. Chamberlain and His Monocles. While tho late Joseph Chamberlain was crossing Palace yard one day some years ago he was accosted by an American girl with the cool request, "Mr. Chamberlain, please do give mu your eyeglass for my cabinet at home." It wns at onco handed to her, guard and all, so promptly that tho curio hunter apparently felt somo romorso and stammered, "Most likely I'm In conveniencing you." "Not at all," re plied Mr. Chamberlain as he produced from his pocket a morocco case and took from It a spare monocle, which he screwed In position, nnd then went on Ills way, smiling.

Kiotn tho twelfth to tho fifteenth century small mirrors, carried in the poil.et or attached to tho girdle, were regarded as Indispensable adjuncts to Indie' toilets. The pocket mirror was a circular iJaquo of polished metal lixed in a shallow bov and covered with a lid. Unselfish. She George, Is that one of thoso ci gars 1 gave you on your birthday?

Herbert The Successful Bidder By ESTHER VANDEVEER Tho Kail of Attesboroiigh. n SeuU-li peer of the British riMini, then about fifty years of age, nan thire sons, alt fine, manly fellow, and lie did not worry about having a itlteot siim-aMU to the title The youngest ot these boys. Alan itedwood, was desperately In love with Lady Gladys Fellow e. second daughter of the Duke of Arran ton. The osUitcs weie contiguous, and the young persons ot the two families were thrown a great deal together The love affair between Alan and Gladys, aged respectively twenty and seventeen, was as natural as the mat ing of a pair of birds Unfortunately both the earl's und tho duke's estates weie lu a bud financial condition. The former wished his eld est son and the lattet Wished ills daughters to marry wenlth. As tor the younger sous, they weie supposed to shift for themselves The duke ab solutely forbade any union between Gladys and Alan. and. indeed, such a marriage was next to Impossible, for there was no Income on either side Alan concluded to go to America, and tils father gave hlin enough money to get there and have left a few hundred pounds to keep him till he ould begin to earn a living It was a sad part ing between him and Gladjs. both be ing sensible thnt they must drift apart. Alan took passage on a sail ship and after a month on the ocean reached America. Lie never wrote a lino to any one after his arrival, nud in due time he seemed lost to his family and former associates. l-ivo years alter tie leit umgianu mo Crimean war came on. and bis next older brother, who was an otllcer in I tho British army, went there with his tcgiment and died ot disease m the trenches before Sebastopol. During the war the oldest brother broke his neck j In ii fall from his horse while fox bunt- ing This loft Alan heir to the title. Inquiries wore made In America for ' him. but nothing could bo lenrned from hlin But a record was found I of the death of an Alan or Allen Redwood In , Now York who had como from some- i where elso and lived alone, and papers were executed to show that the direct heir to the title of Carl of Attesbor- ough was dead. A cousin who was next of kin took possession of the title , and estates, but found tho finances in t such poor condition thnt he inherited t an empty honor , The Crimean war took a great many l ablobodled men from the British Isles, a number of whom left families be- ! hind them In the couutry in which tho Attesboroughs nnd Arran tons lived were so many destitute) families from this and other causes that In order to relievo them a fair to end with n masked ball was held ou the duke's estate under his patronage. Every thing wns done to get money. Includ ing the offering of the partnership for the 11 rat dance of five prominent uu tnnrrlcd ladles, one of whom was Gladys, the duke's second daughter.

When all was ready for the auction tho lady of high est rank with whom tho privilege to , dance llrst was to be auctioned stood on u dais and the bidding begun A goodly sum was realized, and the oth- ors took their turns. Lastly Lady GladvH stood un before tho assemblv uiaujBstoouup uerorc tno assemmy. ed of the duke's necessities and had loaned hlin money started the bidding with 100. This man. MaeCormack. was trying to put the duke under such obligations that he would consent to give him Lndy Gladys In marriage. A man in tho garb of an American miner woolen shirt, sombrero and boots to Ills knees raised tho cotton spluncr's bid 100 The cotton spinner went up a hundred more, and it was not long before these two wero climbing over each other a hundred pounds nt n time till the miner raised tho other 1,000. At tho price It would cost 5,000, or $25,000. to danco tho first danco with tho lady. Slnco tho cotton spinner had not much hopo of getting her In mar rlago ho retired from the contest, and tho privilege, was knocked down to tho miner. Cries wero now beard. "Dnmnsk!" and tho successful bidder advanced to tho front of tho dais nnd removed his faco covering. Lady Gladys started. "Astrangerl" "Who Is ho?" "Glvo your name!" Theso wero somo of tho cries that camo from all parts of tho room. Tho stranger, turning, faced the crowd and said: "I am Alan Redwood, earl of Attes boroiigh."
