When it mini has huttleil with pov
inly all his life, funi'lni; it as ho
fottjrht It, feeling for tho skinny
throat to throttlo It, anil yet droail
Iiijj all tho whllo tho unmiiij,1, of tho
tlmo whuti It would Kiiln tho niantury
and throttlo him -when such a lima
Is told that hu Is rich, It nilfjlat ho
iinatrlneil l.o would recolvo tho an
nouueeiiu'iit with hilarity. When
ltich'-i-d Donliam reallxed that ho was
wealthy ho hneamo ovon moro so
horcil than usual, anil drew a lonj,'
hreath as If ho had huen runnitio; a
moo and had won It. Tho man who
hroiitfiit him tho nows had no Idea
that ho had told D.-iihiun anything
novel. Ho merely hapi'eneil to fay:
"Von ato at rich man. Mr. Donham,
and will nover iiiImh it."
lA'iiham had novor hoforo heen
called a rich man. and np to that mo
ment ho had not thought of himself
as wealthy. Ho wrote out the cheek
asked of him, ami his visitor depart
ed gratefully, lnvvini; thomorehant
with something to ponder over. Ho
was as much surprised with tho sud
denness of tho thing an If someouo
had left him a logaey, Yet tho money
was all of his own accumulating, but
his struggles had been ho long and
ho had been so hopeless about It, that
from moro habit ho oxortod all his
energies long aftov tho enemy was
overcome.
When Mr. Deulinm left his ollleo
and wont out Into tho street, every
thing had an unusual appearaiico to
him. Ho walked along, unheeding
tho direction. li looked e.t tho tluo
residences and realized that ho might
have a line residence if ho wanted it.
Ho miw handsonio carriages; he, too,
might set ti) ano'iuipage. Tho satis
faction thoso thoughts produced was
brief. Of what uso would a lino houso
or an elegant carriage bo toliim? Ho
know no one to invito to tho houso or
to rltlo with hint in tho carriage. Ho
began to realize how utterly alono in
tho world ho wap. Ho had no friends,
no acquaintances oven. Tho running
dog with its naiso to tho ground, sees
nothing of the surrounding seonory.
Ho know men In a business way, of
course, and doubtlri-b each of them
had a homo in the suburbs somewhere,
but ho could not take a business man
by tho shoulders and say to him, "In
vito mo to your house; Iain lonesome;
I want, to know people." Suddenly,
a girl roso before his mental vision
a modern girl. Sho was tho only wo
man in tho world with whom hu was
on speaking terms, and ho know
bur merely because her light
and nimble llngors played tho bu.-l-
noas sonata of ono note on his ollico
typewriter. Mts (!alo was pretty,
of noiu-fu-all typewriter girb aro
und it was generally undorMond in
tho ollleo that, sho belonged to a good
family who had coino down in tho
world. Her somewhat independent
air deonened this conviction and
kopt the olorks at a distance. Sho
was a Honiiblo girl who realized that
tho typowritor paid bettor that tho
piano ami accordingly turned tho ex
perience of her white lingers on tho
foriuor Instrument. Klehard Denham
sat down upon a park bench. "Why
not?" ho nskort himself. There was
no reason against It oxcopt that hit
had not tho courage. Novortholos.H,
lie formed a desperate resolution.
No.xt day, )ulims went on as
usual, l.ottoru wero nnswered and
tho tlmo arrived wlu-n Miss fJalo
citmo In to kco If ho had any further
commands that day. Donham hesi
tated. He felt vaguely that a busi
ness oflieo was not tho proper plaoo
for a proposal; yet ho know he would
in) at a disadvantage anywhoro else.
In tho fjrst place ho had no plausible
excuse, for calling upon tho young
woman at home, ami, In the second
place, ho know if ho once got there
ho would bo stricken dumb. It must
either bo at his ollleo or nowhere.
Sit down a moment, Miss (Jalo,11 ho
said at last; "I wanted to consult you
about a matter- -about a business
matter."
Miss (lalo Boated hei-helf and auto
matleally placed on her kneo tho
shorthand writing-pad ready to tako
down his Instructions. Sho looked
up at him expectantly,
un embarrassed manner,
gors through his hair.
"I am thinking," ho
taking a partner. Tlm
Dauhum, in
rni. his tin
begun, "of
business is
very prosperous now. In fact, it lias
been for somo timo."
"Yea?" said Miss (Julo, Interroga
tively. "Yos, I think I should hnvo n part
nor. It Is about that I wanted to
speak to you."
"Don't you think it would bo hottoi
to consult with Mr. Rogers? Ho
knows moro about husinusH thin I.
Hut porhup.i it Is Mr. Rogers who is
to bo tho partner?"
'No, it is not Rogers. Hogors Is u
good man but it Is not Rogers."
"Then I think in un Important
matter like this Mr. Rogers, or some
ono who knows tho business us thor
oughly as bo docd, would bo ublo t?
glvo advico that would bo of somo
value."
'Hut Hogors wouldn't understand."
"I'm afraid i don't understand,
either. It tscoms to mo a foolish
thing to do-'-thut is, if you want my
advice."
"Oli, yos, I want it. Hut it isn't
as foolish as you think. T should
have had a partner long ago. That
is whero I made tho mistake. I'vo
made up my mind on that."
"Oli, very well," said Miss (Jalo
shortly, bonding over her writing
pad.
It was evident that her opinion of
iJcnhanffl wisdom was steadily lower
ing. Suddenly sho looked up.
"How much shall I say tho annual
profits are? Or do you want that
mentioned?"
"I I didn't think I would mention
that. You soo, 1 don't wish tho ar
rangement to bo carried out on a
uiqiioturygbiiHiH not altogether."
"On what basis then?"
"Well I can hardly say. On a
personal basis, perhaps. I rattier
hope that tho person that my purt
nor would, you know, like to be
associated with mo.''
"I am afraid I shall not be able to
compose a letter that will suit you.
There seem to bo so many dilllculties.
It Is very unusual."
"That is true, and that Is why I
know no ono but you could help mo,
Miss Halo. If it pleases you, it will
please mo."
Miss (ialo shook her head, but af
ter a few moments, sho said, "How
will this do?"
"Dear sir"
"Walt a moment," cried Mr. Don
liam; "that hconis rather a formal
opening, doesn't it? How would It
read If you put it 'Dear friend?'
"If you wish It so." Hie crossed
out tho "sir" and substituted tho
word suggested. Thou slm read tho
letter.

iidvantmieous one. I will "
"I I don't think I would jmt It
quite that way," said Denham, with
somo hesitation. "It rends as if I
were offering everything, and that my
partner well, you seo what I mean."
A moment later sho read.
" join mo In this business, i mal-o

"Anything ol.so, Mr. Denham?"
"No, I think that covers the whole
ground, it will look rather short,
typo-written, won't it? i'erhaps you
might ntlil something to show that I
shall bo exceedingly disappointed If
my olTor is not accepted."
"No fear," said Miss (Jalo. "I'll
add that though. 'Yours truly,' or
Yours very truly?' "
"You might end it 'Your Friend.' "
Next morning Miss (ialo came Into
Mr. Denham's ollico with a smile on
her face.
"You made a funny mistake last
night, Mr. Denham." she bald, as sho
took oil" her wraps.
"Did I?" ho asked in alarm.
"Yes. You sent that letter to my
address. I got It this morning. I
opened It, for I thought it was for mo
and that perhaps you did not need
mo to-ilu. I saw at onco that you
put It la tho wrong envelope. Did
you want mo to-day?"
It wa-i on his tongue to say "I want
you every day," but ho merely held
out his hand for tholettor, and looked
nt It as If ho could not account for its
having gone astray.
Tlio next day Miss (ialo camo into
and hbo looked frightened. It was
evident that Denham was losing his
mind. She -put tho letter down beforo
him nu paid:
"You addressed that to mo tho t-ec-ond
time, M". Denham."
I Iioro was a look or haggard anx
iety about Mr. Donham that gavo
color to her suspicions. Ho felt that
it was now or never.
"Then why don't you unswer it,
Miss (inle," ho snld .grullly.
Sho backed away from him.
Answer it?" sho repealed fuintly.
"(u-talnly. If I got a lottor twice,
I would answer It."
"What do you mean?"' sho cried,
with her bund on tho door knob.
"Kxnctly what tho lottor says. I
want you for my partner. I want to
marry you, and- -financial considera
Uotis "
"Oh!" cried Miss (lalo, in a long
drawn, quivering sigh. Sho was
doubtless shocked at tho word Im had
used, and lied to hor type-writing
room, closing tho door behind hor.
ltichard Donham pacod up and
down tho Moor for a few moments and
then rapped lightly at her door, but
thoro was no i-ospouso. Ho put on
his hat and went out into tho street.
After a long and aimless walk, lie
found himself again at his place ol
business. When ho wont in Hogors
paid to him:
"Miss (Ialo has left, sir."
"Has sho?"
"Yes, and sho hns given notice
Says sho Is not coming back, sir."
"Very well."
Ho went Into his room nnd found o
lottor marked "personal" on tho desk.
Ho tore It open, and read in neatly

In the jirline of life,
nnil hu boutuli-il In
to bis own homo as
lie uttered the stur
tllnir exclamation.
"Have there been
?.7
new nrrcatu,
Pierre?" naked bis wife, looking up
from her work with a terrified expres
sion on her beautiful countenance.
It was a troublesome time In Pari1'.
The new Kovernnic'iit had Juxt Itsifd a
decree Hint all communists and Insur
gents found with arms In their :osscs
slon should be put to death without de
lay. The terrible edict was IndnB car
ried out on every hand, and every hour
witnessed the untimely fnte of many
an honest, If mlsi;ulded, heart.
Pierre U-unonto had been nmnni: the
most zealous workers against the repub
lican party before election, and now
that the latter had come Into power
he was wnntod to answer for bis rash
Flieoelies and Intemperate action.
"They have Just arrested a dozen at
the Jlcywnrd and ilrnKjied them away
like so many sheep to the plait- titer.
Curse them! It was only the tlmiH'ht of
your sake and Henri's 1 am almost
flrltiK Into their midst."
"Huili, Pierre!" cried his Crista toned
wire, who trembled to think what his
Impetuous nature ml-,'ht brlna; upon
them. "You must not talk like that.
Calm your jiasslons until the storm ban
blown over. In a few days, t dare sny,
the trouble will be escaped."
"I nna not so sure of that, Marie," be
replied, showing Hint her words bad not
been without their effect. "I am not a
coward, you know that, Marie, but for
your sake and Henrl.s I aim alnust
afraid to remain here."
"Do you think they will follow you to
your home, my husband?"
"Alas! I know not where 1 am safe.
They may be lure any moment, and
ngaln It Is possible that 1 am waf-r here
than I would be elsewhere."
"I have a plan, Pierre. Why not let
Henri go upon the street nnd see what
he can learn? Our boy Is capable of
taking care of himself, as you well
know."
Though he wns not finite 15, and small
for his age. little Henri had proved on
several occasions that he possessed a
man's ready wit and ournge, so his
father willingly allowed him to start
upon his errand, little dreaming of the
fearful consequences It was likely to
Incur.
Whistling merrily to give a show of
unconcern, Henri left his home, going
swiftly toward the more densly jiopu
latod portion of the city. Everywhere
he went he saw evidence of the reign of
excitement. Men were grouped together
In earnest conversation at almost every
corner, while through the darker streets
and alleys crouching figured could be
neon stealing away In all direction-.. He
saw several squads of armed soldiers
and as be approached the Hlyses palace
he was startled by the arrest of half a
dozen Insurgents.
Not wishing to be poon ton near such
scenes Henri turned on" to the left, and
wns entering the garden, when be was
startled by the utterance of hl.a father's
name. Concealed from the speaker's
gaze by n thick bush, ho heard the other
describe to an olllcer bis own home, with
the added Information that his out
lawed parent would be found there at
that moment.
He beard the olllcer say that a squad
of soldiers would bo sent at once to af
fect his arrest, when be wns further
startled by the appearance of four fugi
tives, who wera lleelng for their lives
All were armed and they looked like a
desperate party: but seeing an olllcer
and his men suddenly stopping their es
cape, they uttered cries of dlniay.
All but ono threw up his arms and
surrendered after a short resistance.
The exception, catching sight of Henri's
hiding place, leaped to tho npot, and
thrusting bis weapon Into tho fright
ened boy's hands, pushed him out Into
the pathway of the excited soldiers.
Ilef ore he could offer a word of ex
planation Henri found himself homo
"OET ther itence. you YOUN'O
TtASCAli."
nway with the rest a prisoner! The
smaller party was soon added to tho
larger band under a fierce-looking col
onel, who marched them away to the
place of execution, highly elated over
his success.
I need not describe poor Henri's feel
ings, but I really believe ho thought
more of his father's peril than ho did
ot that overhanging hlmidif, terrible as
It was.
They were noarlng the scene which
had witnessed tho death of so many of
bis coaintrymen, nnd In a few moments
It would be all over with him. Then his
father would bo dragged to tho same
tato! And then what would become of
his mother?
Though Henal was a bravo boy, ho
turned palo as ho thought of nail this,
nnd then, with thu spirit of n desperate
resolution In hts henrt, he stopped bold
ly In front of the olllcer, and making
tho true military saluta with a good deal
of grace said:
"Monsieur, 1 supposo you mean to
shoot me with tho others?"
"Of ciurse, you young rebelt" nn
s were .1 tho surprised colonel. "Hack
there Into tho ranks with you! Taken
with anna In your hands along with tho
rest, what else can you expect? It la
my orders," ho added, with less ot seve
rity, as ho saw tho extreme youtbfulness
of his prisoner,

to return In a few minutes, and If I do
not come back she will worry about mo.
Then, too. I hnve her watch, which she
prizes' highly, as It was a present from
my father. She Is very poor, too, and
the watch will be so much for her when
I am gone Now. If you will only let mo
run home and quiet her n bit and glv
her her watch, I will return Just as soon
as 1 can to be shot. I won't be gone over
llftecn minutes, monsieur. May I go?"
It Is safe to say the grizzled noldler
had never seen the equal of this audaci
ous request. He pulled his heavy gray
mustache fiercely, and wns about to
order him back Into the lines, when the
peculiar gravity of the situation struc'.:
him with so much absurdness that ho
deni.-iiiiled:
"Want to go home to bid your mother
gond-byo. ell? What proof have 1 that
you will come back to be shot?"
"My word of honor, monsieur," re
jilkd the yiutlaful hero, drawing his
slight llgure up with great dignity.
There wnn no mistaking the sincerity
of his words.
"Your word of honor, eh? Well, I
must say If It Is tho equal of your wit
and assurance, you have a pretty good
stock. Go home, and mind that you
are lively about It."
With a Joyful exclamation Henri
bounded away, and a few mlnaitei lat'r
iio entered his home, where he found his
parents nnxli-'sly awaiting him. In a
few wordn he told bis father of his peril,
when the latter lost no lime In liming to
a place of greater safety. The brave
boy then tin tied to kiss bis mother, say
ing: "I think t had better go back on tlio
street, that 1 may keep posted In regard
to what Is being done. Please take your
watch, for I may lose It, or It may bo
stolen from me."
He could not tell her ho was going
back to be shot. She would know that
all to roon. Hlddlng her to bo of good
cheer, ho went out of his homo with a
farewell look at Its doar surroundings,
and her with her tear-wet eyes.

He was ime of those punsters who
make puns oven at funerals. .lust like
the man that .lohn Dennis bad in mind
when, in liV.it, lie wrote: "A man who
would innko so vile u pun would not
scruple to pick n pocket." lie makes
vile puns, mostly, but he makes a good
one now and then. A tiiuu who makes
many puns cannot help but maku n
good one mice in awhile. Tho particu
lar pun which is to be given to the
public in this paragraph was innile in
the ollico ot 5a 'certain ulltelnr'who has a
white beard lone; and ilowing. The
punster and ti reporter entered the of

to the otIMal. Tho reporter, aio
tired a hair on the oHIi-hil's shoulder
and said: "Mr. , there's u long,
white hair on your coat: J'U take it
o(Y." Tho punster saw that his chance
had come, and, gathering himself as a
bloodthirsty mosqultn does ivlicn about
to bite an innocent maiden, blairted
out: "White hair it away." Neither
the ofllclal nor tho reporter spoke for

the desperate man's nudcoity.
Virginia unci IM Nlchuniuit,
Tlio authorities in the colony of
Virginia, at the Uino of the contest in
England between the Stuarts and
Cromwell, -appear to have been de
voted to the Stuarts, and when the
Cromwelliaii government threutoned
to send at lleet to a-eilueis the colony to
submission. Its ollleials dispatched a
message to young Charles, who was.
afterward King of Ihigland, under tho
title of Charles II, but was then hiding
in France, asking him to eomo over
and be Icing of Virginia. It Is said
that Charles was mi the point of start
ing, when the eollapw of tho common
wealth and the Cromwelllau regime
took place, which font hlni luck to tho
Kngltsh throne. Charles never forgot
this devotion aif Virginia to his for
tunes, and that e.ilouy was subse
quently classed with Kngland, Scot- .
land and Ireland as one' of tho main
portions of the empire. In this way
Virginia came to bo known among thd
