"Why , I don't know , Hobby. What
would you like to name him ? " From
under her tllmy gray parasol Fairfax
Browne regarded her son with n look
pruvi ! In Its perplexity. Hobs adored
his pretty mother because she never
laughed at him ; also because she had
big blue eyes nnd n mass of fluffy red
gold hair precisely like a princess In a
fairy tale. Therefore , an a matter of
course , the pepper and cult terrier was
brought to her to be christened.
"Call him Hags , " suggested Captain
Frederick Lawton , the navy olllcer ,
who chanted that morning to he at
tendant. This had happened so often
of late that dowagers were beginning
to suggest In penetrating underlines
t. that If dear Mrs. Browne were really
. thinking of marrying again she could
not do better than to take Captain
Lnwton , suitable In age , good looking
and quite independent of his profes
sion. And every one knew that Mrs.
Browne had but little besides that
ramshackle old plantation In Louisi
ana , or was It Maryland ?
Iobs had overheard one or two of
these suggestions and , revolving them
in his seven-year-old brain , had come
to the conclusion that something portentous
tentous was Impending. This or some
thing else made him regard Captain
Lawton's suggestion with vague disfa
vor.
vor."I
"I don't like that , " he said shortly.
"It might seem disrespectful , you
know. "
He turned n sturdy blue back on
them nnd trudged off , with the meek
terrier under his nnn. Presently cnme
In sight a fresh faced young subaltern.
"Hello , Hobs ! Where nre you going
with whnt's his nnme ? "
"He hnsn't got any yet , " said Hobby
soberly. "That old Captain Lawton
fin Id to call him Itags , but I shan't.
How would he feel If his father had
named him Hags , I'd like to know ? "
"That Is a question which Captain
Lawton has probably never consid
ered , " answered Charterls gravely.
"But you might call this little beg
gar after General Kitchener. "
"Is CJeneral Kitchener a great sol
dier ? "
"The greatest next to Hobs , " averred
the lieutenant. And that settled It.
Henceforth It was Hobs and Kitchener
to all the American colony.
' Meanwhile , as the gossips had sur
mised , Hobs' mother was pondering In
the remote depths of her subcon-
Bclousness the question of accepting
Captain Lawton. There were times
when she felt a longing for the home
nnd position which lie couio give ner.
It would be home for Hobby , too Hob
by , who looked nt her with his big , lion
est , adoring gray eyes , so like Ills fath
er's. Hut , curiously enough , as often as
those eyes met hers she felt a strong
distaste for Lawton , with his precise
speech and Immaculate uniform
She had no idea that Hobby was also
considering the merits of a prospective
stepfather , but he was.
"Mr. Charterls , " he said one day ,
"you aren't married , are you ? " !
Charterls blushed all over his boyish
face. "Not yet , " he said.
"Because , " said Hobby with deliber
ation , "I've boon thlnkln' It over , and
I believe I'd rather have you for a
father than anybody that's here now. "
Charterls gasped. "It's very good of
yon , I'm sure , " he said , smothering nn
impulse to laugh , "hut your mother
might have something to say about
that. "
"Pooh ! She wouldn't mind , " said
Bobby superbly. "She'd like you any
amount better than that old navy cap
tain. My father was a cav'lry off'cer ,
nnd his sword's hangln' up In the Ilbr'y
nt home. I'm goln' to wear It when I
grow up , but I won't be In the navy.
A man's no good Mess he can ride. "
Hobby's tone was that of long set
tled conviction , and in his heart Char
terls , subaltern of hussars , with a
medal won in Africa , may have agreed
with him. At any rate , when he mnde
a third that day In n group otherwise
consisting of Mrs. Browne and Captain
Lawton the latter Inwardly cursed
the Inclination of the subaltern to talk
of cross country hunts in England ,
rough riding on the plains and wild
dashes over the African karroo. All
the more violent was his emotion as
be saw the rare color come into Fair-
fas Browne's face.
"He was the best rider I ever saw , "
Charterls said at the conclusion of
one of his stories , "n big , gypsy lookIng -
Ing chap ono of those men who don't
seem to come from any place In par
ticular , though I believe he was born
in New York ; chap that was always
sure to do great things some day , by
Jove ! "
Charterls' eye had fallen on a para
graph In the pnper on his knee.
"What Is it ? " inquired Mrs. Browne ,
interested.
"Tho very ninn. lie's in Brighton-
Just back from South Africa. "
Nobody noticed thnt ns the group
Bcpnrutcd Bobby secured the newspa
per nnd studied it carefully.
Arrived at the hotel , he begged the
clerk for a sheet of paper , an envelope
and n stnmp and , producing a stubby
pencil from his trousers pocket , com
posed n letter , sitting on the back ve-
rnndn , while Kitchener mnde love to
the cook. When the letter was done ,
he nddressed It in n scrawly but dis
tlnct hand to "Mr. Edward Wliarton ,
Brighton , England. "
The letter rnn as follows :
Denr Mr. Whorton-Mr. Chnrtrla told
about you and I like you my father was
cavlry offcer to and I dent like the
n vy ono bit nnd I Uont want a navy man
fur my new father
1 think Klckncr ntul Id rather Imvo you
f youd Ilko It 1m Hiiro Mnmn nnd you
would be crate friends Yours with hive
lltikKUT FAIRFAX IIUOWNU.
"By Jove ! " paid Whartou. nnd he
threw back his head and laughed a
splendid , ringing laugh that consorted
well with the gleam of his white teeth
j n , the dusk of Ids beard and the Hash
of his deepset dark eyes. "This Is cer-
ialnly uncommon. It must be Char
t terls ( of the hussars , and let's see ;
! : hat's a Schcvcnlngcn hotel. I'd like
to see the boy again. I'll run over
there after I've been to London. "
Some days later Bobs and Kitchener
took It Into their heads to play In an
empty boat. Kitchener found the boat ,
nnd Hobs led the way Into It. Then It
gently parted company with the land
nnd drifted away. The place was al
most deserted at that time of day , and
Bobby , half frightened , half elate , held
his peace , wondering If It would he
manly to call for help. A sudden gust
of wind struck the craft , and some
how or other the two went over the
bide just as Captain Lawton and Mrs.
Browne came strolling along the pier.
Mrs , Browne gave a cry of terror.
"It's Bobby ! " she exclaimed.
A moment's hesitation was all that
saved Captain Lawton's Immaculate
garb , and In that Instant a huge , swift
moving form went by them , dropped
Into the water with a tremendous
splash and swam with strong , assured
strokes toward the dots In the water.
U was all over In a minute , and Mrs.
Browne , all regardless of soft silk dra
peries and floating laces , had Bobby In
her arms , and Lieutenant Charterls ,
who had come running up , was saying :
" 'Pon my word , Bobs , you and Kltch
cner"
Then his eye fell upon the rescuer ,
nnd ho broke his sentence off In the
middle to grab the hand of the big ,
tall , very wet man who had dropped
his traveling bag to take an Impromptu
swim. There were Introductions and
handshakings and tears. When Bobby
heard the name of Wliarton , he stared
round eyed , nnd when Wliarton heard
the name of Bobby he , too , said , "Up
on my word ! " to himself.
Perhaps all this had something to do
with the fact that when on the follow
ing evening Captain Lawton came for
his final answer to his suit the pretty
widow knew her own mind and an
swered him with n gentle but decided
"No. "
At about the same time Wliarton
was confessing frankly to his friend
Charterls that he was howled over for
the llrst time in his life , and would
there be any chance for him ? That
naval otllccr , you know
Charteris grinned. " 1 don't think you
need worry about him , " said he. "Co
In , old chap , and here's luck. "
The rapidity of Wharton's courtship
shocked the whole place. It was not
more than six weeks after his first ap
pearance that he was walking In tht
twilight with a charming , gay gowned
dame , and she was saying In that
delicious ' soft voice of hers :
"But it wasn't all what you did that
first i day. Edward , though I'd have
been 1 friends forever with any one who
bad 1 saved Bobby's life. It was Just
1i
that i you were you , and don't you
think it was fate ? "
"I think , " said -Wlinrton , with n
twinkle in his eye , "that It was the
machinations of Bobs. "
And then he told her.
The Liivlfrr Mnti'li.
It Is to Mr. Isaac Hidden , member of
parliament , that wo owe the inventloi
of the luclfer match. This discover }
was , he himself has told us the resul
of a happy thought. "In the morning
I need to get up at1 o'clock In order to
pursue my studies , and I used at thn
time the flint and steel , the use of
which I found a very great inconven
ience. Of course I knew , as othoi
chemists did , the explosive materia
that was necessary in order to product
instantaneous light , hut it was verj
dllllcult to obtain n light on wood by
that explosive material , and the hie :
occurred to me to put sulphur under
the explosive mfxture. 1 did that ant"
showed it in my next lecture on chem
istry , a course of which I was deliver
ing at a large academy.
"There was , " added Mr. Holden , "n
young man In the room whose father
was a chemist In London , and he Im
mediately wrote to his father about it.
and shortly afterward luclfer matches
were Issued to the world. I believe
that was the first occasion that we had
the present lucifer match. I was urged
to go and take out a patent immediate
ly , but I thought It was so small a mat
ter and It cost me so little labor that I
did not think It proper to go and get n
patent ; otherwise I have no doubt it
would have been very profitable. "

"It Is n matter of surprise to me , " re
marked a man who Is a keen observer ,
recently , "that hnlf the children of this
country do not grow up minus nn
nnn. "
"But wherefore ? " asked the person
to whom he was speaking.
"Here Is nn Illustration , " continued
:
the first speaker. "Do you see that '
woman walking with a little child ?
Now , notice her when she crosses the
street. "
At the crossing the woman lifted the
child by one arm. It dangled In the
nlr , and Its feet did not touch the earth
until It was across the street , when the
mother dropped It on the sidewalk.
"Well , the nnn held , didn't it ? "
"But , " continued the philosopher , "I
was nfrald at one tlmo It would be
.
wrenched from Its socket. Now , thnt
Is n sight yon can witness every hour
In the day mothers dragging children
out of street cars , across the streets or
up a flight of stairs by one arm. I
. .
wonder how the mothers would like It
If a being four times as large as them
selves should suddenly swoop down
and lift them by one arm. I'd like to
sue it tried once , I just would. "

Like most repositories of good stories ,
he ancient man who has spent dec
ides as a guard In the capitol In Wash-
ngton did not yield up the fullness of
: ils narratory riches without a struggle.
"It's unpleasant to be made n mock
of by the skeptical , " he protested. "Do
vou bi'lleve In ghosts , young man ? "
If answering In the alllrmatlve be
gets an Interesting tale , I do. " returned
he writer.
"Well , starting on the premise that
vou do believe to some extent In the
supernatural , I will admit you to my
confidence , " resumed thu old guard ,
nnd hero goes for the authentic yarn
if the spooks that haunt the nation's
apltol :
"In the long , monotonous watt-hen of
the night Innumerable are the spooks ,
liohgoldlns and the eerie , vapory
things which glide from the shadowy
nooks and crannies of the Intangible
nowhere to people the capltol's vast
stretches of darkness. Of course you
know of the extraordinary acoustic
freaks which obtain In many parts of
the great building how a whisper , a
lireathcd word at one particular point
Is audible at another scores of feet dls
tant ? Yes. Now , at night these acous
tic spirits simply go mad. Where they
by day were pygmies they expand Into
giants , and n whistle , n sudden sound ,
a footfall , resolves Itself Into a pan
demonium.
"Weird , terrifying noises beat upon
the eardrums of the watchmen as they
pursue their lonely patrols through the
seeming miles of corridors , and then
the spooks , the shades of the nation's
great , the astral bodies of those that
tolled In obscurity for the nation's good ,
dodge the watchmen's step , some
grand nnd awful In their speechless
dignity , some creeping humbly about
In npologetle silence , some laughing ,
some sobbing , but all of them horrible
-horrible. "
The old man paused to muse.
"Do you know , " ho said , breaking
Into his own reverie explosively. "Kelt.
XI Is a date dreaded by many of the
capitol night guards ? It was on this
day , In 1818 , that John Qulncy Adams
died In the chamber of the house of
representatives , now Statuary hall ,
where the exact spot Is marked by a
brass tablet. Promptly at midnight
on every anniversary of his death the
shade of John Qnlncy Adams appears
in a sort of phosphorescent glow over
this brass tablet. Oh. dozens of guards
have seen It from time to time as well
as I. anil I can refer you to many of
them for alllrmatlon of my assertions.
"Once over the spot the shade begins
to gesticulate , after the manner of n
member addressing the house. Then.
all of a sudden , the line face becomes
distorted and agonized , the gracefully
waving arms fall convulsively , and
down sinks the shade with all ( lie
movements of an expiring man. Then
tlie phosphorescent glow fades away ,
and the ethereal elllgy dissolves.
"Hut. although lost sight of. Its pres
ence Is still made known hy the'clump.
Hop , clump , flop. " of invisible foot
falls departing down one of the long
vacant corridors.
"Stranger than this Is the ghost of
the entire congress of 18-18 , which ap
pears In vigorous If spooky session ev
ery once In awhile In Statuary hall , the
old hall of representatives , as I have
previously remarked. Inaudible , but
spirited , are the debates ; energetic to
the bursting point of vehemence are
the silent political dissensions. Pro
voked hy a doubting Thomas , a mem
ber of the capitol night watch several
years ago made aflldavlt that he had
seen this ghostly congress in session.
Yes , he was a sober man and true.
"The shade of General John A. Lo
gan Is a frequent visitor at the capitol.
Almost every alternate night at half
past 12 o'clock this ghost materialises
at the door of the room occupied by
the senate committee on military and
militia. Silently the door swings open ,
and out steps the looming and lumi
nous presence , to stalk In stately dig
nity away Into the swallowing gloom.
This Is a favorite phantom with the
guards. Its conduct Is exemplary.
"Then there Is the shade of Vice
President Wilson , who died In his room
In the senate end of the capitol , you
will recall. Its peregrinations nre few
and desultory. When It does come ,
there Is nlwnys nn expression of con
cern and self absorption in the ghostly
face. The movements of the vapory
body nre restless nnd hurried.
"All of the older members of the
night wntoh nre well acquainted with
Vice President Wilson's apparition nnd
never fall to snlutc It , although , truth
to tell , the shade remains haughtily In-
different to their deference. This spook
rarely falls to put In nn appearance
when the body of a dead legislator or
statesman of national renown is lying
in state in the capitol.
"Deep In the subccllar vaults spooks
of lesser magnitude revel In hordes.
Immediately bcnenth the hull of rep-
resentativcB every night Is to be found
n tall , erect , gaunt specter , whose Iden-
tlty tins remained n mystery for years
in spite of unceasing efforts on the
part of the night watch to uncover
the secret of Its origin nnd nnteced-
.
ents. Its hands nre clasped behind
its transparent baA In n convulsive
clutch , and the face evinces n condl-
tlon of emotions prodigiously wrought
upon. Many attempts have been nindo
by guards with rubber soles on their
Bhoea to catch this wraith unawares ,
but failure la the Invariable result.
