The Result of
a Caprice
i LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
"Auntie, why were you nover mar
ried? I hnve heard tliat in your youth
you were n grout belle."
"My dear," replied the old lady,
"why I woa not murrlud Is a painful
kitory to me. It has been constantly
with me ever since I was nineteen
years old, hut I have never talked
about It There Is a lesson In It for
young girls like you, and on that ac
count I will tell it to you."
Then the old lady told me the follow
ing Btory:
You know that I was born und raised
In the Bouth on one of those planta
tions that represented typical high life
thero beforo the war destroyed the In
Htltutlon which was Its foundation. I
enmc of nge shortly beforo the sfrugglo
opened. I suppose It Is true that I was
a belle. Would that I had not been
Buch, for the attention I received
turned my head and caused what em
bittered my life.
Among my suitors were Alfred llealo
und Edgar Turnlee. Turnlee was my
favorite Indeed, I was very much In
lovo with him but I wished to be
Btrlvcn for nnd alternately encouraged
lilm nnd his rival, Alfred Heale. One
day I was sitting In the drawing room
of the plantation house with Edgar.
My back an well an his was toward the
door opening Into the great hall, whllo
my face was toward a largo mirror
resting on the mantel over the lite
place. I caught a glimpse of the re
flection of Alfred Heale In the hall.
lie saw both Edgar and mo sitting
together. He paused nnd looked at us,
making no sound to Indicate to us that
ho was thoro. Indeed, he was eaves
dropping, but I thought little of that
I was wrapt in the Idea of being an
object of strife between two young
men nnd wnB tempted to see what
would happen between them should I
purposely Increase their antagonism.
I had been expecting a proposal from
Edgar and now gave him every en
couragement. ITo was placing an arm
nround my waist and his face was
near mlno when I gavo a little shriek
and drew nwny from him, assuming to
bo Indignant Renlo stepped Into the
room nnd, glaring nt Edgar, upbraided
south, and I was too young to liavo
heard much of nn obsolete custom.
What chlelly concerned me was that I (
had so deeply wronged the mnn I ,
loved. I was not only suffering from
consciousness of having dono him an
Injustice, but was pnulo stricken lest
ho should never forglvo me.
The nffalr began In the afternoon,
and from then until bedtime I was in
a stnte of dread, not that anything se
rious might occur between the rivals,
but that I had lost my lover. In the
middle of the night my father camo
Into my room and asked me for an ex
planation of what had happened, for he
had heard of It. Instead of telling him
the truth, I left him with the Impres
sion that Edgar had transcended his
rights and Alfred hail resented his net
1 usked father what had come of it,
and ho replied that I would learn the
result In the morning; then he left me.
This was tho tlrst intimation I had
of anything serious between the two
men. Suddenly it Hashed upon uic
that they would fight. 1 trembled. 1
lay turning tho matter over in my
brain, which was like n boiling cal
dron. With the nrst light of dawn 1
arose, dressed myself, stole down the
great staircase and out on to the ve
randa. Looking out from behind a vine,
I saw Edgar and two other young
men riding by the plantation. Going
to tho barn, I saddled my horse, mount
ed and followed them.
I cannot dwell on the rest It Is too
painful. I was some time in finding
where they had gone. When I readi
ed them they had fought a duel with
pistols, and Alfred Bealo was lying on
the ground, while a surgeon was bend
ing over him. I hurried to him to see it
he were dead and was assured that his
wound would not be fatal. I turned
to Edgar. He gavo mo a look that
has haunted mo ever since. 1 saw In
it that I bad lost him forever.
You have heard my story. May It be
n lesson to you that love Is not a game
for passing the time that young persons
regard It Lovo is a serious mntter
and should bo treated seriously. Hotter
tho Europcnn method of matches made
by parents than the follies committed
by some young men and women when
left to their own caprices.
A Case of
Blackmail

Dogs of War.
Tho "dogs of war" havo been more
thnn a figure of speech for thousands
of years. They were used in Egypt
100 It. C. The Romans, tho Teutons
and other fighting nations of antiquity
depended much on them for sentinel
nnd defense purposes. In tho middlo
nges they are said to have oven worn
armor. The Spanish discoverers used
bloodhounds in tracking the Indians
him. Edgar looked an nppcal to mo to In this country,
exonerate him.
It is Impossible to glvo reasons for
the freaks that enter tho heads of
young persons, especially young girls,
in tho matter of coquetry. Instead of
taking the blame of Edgar's act upon
myself, I walked out of the room,
leaving my admirers to settlo tlio con
troversy In their own way. I had no
nooner left them than It occurred to me
that I had acted abominably. If I had
gone directly back nnd confessed tho
situation might have been saved. I
was about to do so when I remembered
thnt such an acknowledgment would
bring down upon me the contempt of
both men that Is, If It were believed,
which I doubted.
Whllo I was deliberating 1 heard
both men go out of the house. I
started to call them back, but hesi
tated, and before I had made up my
mind what to do they were out of
healing.

I'letro Carucall was deliberating on
n plan to extort money by sending n
threatening letter to some one who
could afford to hand over tho cash to
avoid trouble, when chanco gavo him
a Hue opportunity. He was walking
past the estate of the HethringtoiiM
one night about 11 o'clock when ha
espied a light Hush among the trees
within the Inelosurc.
I'letro was of an enterprising tuni
of mind, arguing that one enn never
tell when u secret may bo picked up
which may bo turned Into money. Tho
flash had revealed to him something
that ho had not expected to see at
that time of night in a rich man's
grounds namely, a gentleman carry
ing a small oblong box under his arm.
Moreover, I'letro got a glimpse of a
lady moving beside the gentleman.
Both were young, and the lady was
beautiful.
I'letro climbed the fence with tho
agility of youth and, creeping through
such plants as adorn gentlemen' es
tates, made his way toward the cou
ple, who were moving to a rear cor
ner of the grounds.
Pletro did not need to be the adept
ho was at theorizing to feel sure that
this young couple were going to bury
the body of a child contained In tha
box they had with them. If the little
one had died without mystery there
would hnvo been no need of their In
terring it at this time of night and in
this secret manner. Stealthily he fol
lowed the couple, who stopped at an
open space In the shrubbery. The man
dug a grave and, having put the box
in It, shoveled in the earth und smooth
ed tho surface, while the lady, holding
tho lantern, stood by, a picture of met
nncholy. A big dog stood by the lady.
viewing tho burial with evident Inter
est When it was llnlshed and the
couple were about to return to tho
house the dog pricked up his ears and
gave a low growl. I'letro beat a hasty
retreat The dog dashed toward him,
and I'letro got over tho fence just in
time to save himself from a pair ot
powerful Jaws.
llctro believed that ho bad a valua
ble secret. If he was right lu his In
ference that the body of a child had
been burled those who had Interred it
would undoubtedly give a large sum
for the preservation of tho secret
i'letro was a methodical rascal and
would have visited the grave, dug up
the box and assured himself of tha
truth of his Inference, but he hud a
wholesome dread of the dog's Jaws.
To go there In the daytime was im
practicable, and at night the dog was
unloosed and permitted to roam ovei
the grounds.
I'letro thought of going to the housn
und making inquiries of the servants
that would help him in determining
what the secret burial meant, but he
was farseelng and looked forwnrd to a
possible future arrest, In which caso
to bo Identified as having prowled
around the place, the denizens of which
ho proposed to bleed, would prove n
great disadvantage to him. Ho deter
mined to proceed on the theory that
there was something to bo concealed.
Ho learned the name of the owners
of tho place, then wrote a note men
tioning what bo had seen and offering
to keep tho secret on payment of $3,
000, giving nn assumed namo to be
addressed at tho general delivery ot
the postolllce. In a week's time he re
ceived a note written In u feminine
hand imploring him not to divulge
what he had witnessed. Tho money
to pay for his silence was being got
together, and as soon as It was ready
ho would bo notified.
A fortnight later, not having heard
anything further in the mntter, he
wrote again, demanding Immediate
payment or the police would be noti
fied that u crime had been covered up.
To this ho received n reply that ?:i,00(J
of ready money had been raised ami
would be turned over to him in any
manner that he might designate.
Each year for four years ?300 would
bo paid him provided the secret was
kept.
This looked to I'letro llko a bona
tide offer, lie had not thought thai
the parties would likely provide against
being called on for blackmail in future.
Ho accepted tho proposition and iqi
pointed a meeting at a certain day
and hour at u street corner near the
iceno of the burial to receive his lira!
payment, lie would wear n brown
suit and would carry a book in hit
left hand. Any attempt at trencher;
would result lu the death of his would
be captor.
At the time appointed a man appear
ed on tho scene and, seeing another lu
a brown suit and a book in his hand,
asked him if ho were the party to be
paid for keeping a secret I'letro ad
mitted that ho was, and tho other pul
his hand Into his Inside coat pocket
took out n fat pocketbook and wav
about to hand It over when severa
men started from different points noui
by, one of whom clutched i'letro fruit
behind beforo ho could mnko any do
fense. Then ho wns taken to a pollc
station.
I'letro, tustead of having providec
for his freedom for flvo years, had pro
vlded for his board at tho expense ot
tho state for an exact term. No ex
planatiou was made as to tho secret
of tho burial, for nono was needed
Tho lady's poodlo had died in tho even
lug, nnd she and her husband were ti
go on a Jouruey early tho next morn
lug. The night burial was therofoii
necessary.
