AN EVIDENT EXPLANATION ,
New York Times.
"And what Is the name that you sy all
the fellows call Miss Monica Abercromble
n they speak of her In that expansive
locality 'behind her back ? ' " asked James
Wlnn , tlm practical man , ot his friend , Cyril
Crelghton , the dreamer.
"Tho Enchanted Princess , "
"Humph ! Sufficiently Idiotic to be probable ;
but why ? "
"Why , for ono thing , she Is so beautiful
and charming. For another , she lives In a
palace with an ogre her father , you know-
old 'Cent per Cent' Abercromble , the banker.
Kor n. third , she U surrounded .with prldo
and disdain and Indifference as It through a
spell , and those of the boys who vow to rescue -
cue and hold the real sweetness within ere
speedily discomfited and remain In hopeless
captivity , "
"Nonsense ! She feels her oata , I suppose. "
"No , there Is no self-consciousness about
her ; If there were , she would waste away for
love like Narcissus. She simply Is accus
tomed to nec'ar ' and ambrosia Instead of to
bread and water. She simply has Ichor In
her veins , where wo poor mortals have blood. "
"And ot lukewarm quality. So you are ono
of the knights ot a rueful countenance , my
poor CyrllT"
"I can't help It , and I wouldn't If I could.
To see her Is to love her , and the more I
love her the more I want to see her. "
"And yet she's nothing but a snip of a
girl , after all. " grumbled Wlnn.
"That's why I have brought you , you old
unbeliever. I want you to ackncwledgs a. certain
undeflnablo yet superior power In that sex ,
which , though you don't despise , you do
treat with such placidity. Remember , Helen
waa nothing but a slip of a girl and a rather
old one , too , and yet Troy fell nnd Hector per
ished and Priam suffered on her account , and
the world has ever since deemed they were
well lost. Como In and tee for yourself.
Wo'll surely find her at home surrounded by
her court. See , this Is the nouso. "
" 'Tla a palace , eato enough , " commented
Wlnn , as they turned -westward from the
avenue and came to a massive brownston *
structure set llko a temple to Plntus , amid
verdure yet green and flowers still In bloom ,
retains the sun-
for so wealth shadows yet
shlno of life. . . - . , ,
"Yes , and there's 'the ogre , ' " added Cyril ,
as a short , stout man , with a heavy red face
and blinking eyes , waddled down the sldo
entrance , and was hoisted Into a carriage by
footmen of majestic mien.
"I think I heard him mutter 'Fee , fo ,
fum ! ' " agreed Wlnn.
The two friends entered the house and
passed through the long drawing room to
where a young girl was standing , surrounded
by the youths "of the period" an apt enough
phrase , by the way , since a "period" Is a
full stop. "You are right In her name , too , "
murmured Wlnn. And Indeed , If dark , ori
ental beauty , Intensifying lofty bearing by
flash ot eyes and flush of cheeks betokens
regal descent , then Cyril Crelghton was
right. And yet Monica. Abercromble could be
gracious , too , for she knew that the obliga
tions of hospitality Increase with Its power ,
and her greeting ot Wlnn , the stranger , was
a marked contrast to the carelessness which
more than sufficed for her devotees. It there
was curiosity In her glance , her eyes were
too quick and well trained to betray It. She
felt even before she saw that this tall , stal
wart man , swarthy. Impassive , composed , was
different in thought and doing from the
youngsters who were BO monotonous In tholr
thrumming of the one-stringed harp of adula
tion. Ills bearing lacked their eagerness ; It
seemed that It might even bo an'agonlstlc ,
It ho cared to permit It. But he evidently
didn't care to do anything except to murmur
a few commonplaces , and then to sip his tea
In silence as. It he would efface himself. Not
that ho was discourteous , no , Indeed ; there
was no shadeot offense In his absolute nul-
fly. But when all the others were BO ar
dent , . .
.1.1
Cyril Crelghton certainly was ardent : hit
hands , his eyes , his expression , his being
glowed with the subtle fire. As for hi :
tongue well , If silence be golden. It hail
Irretrievably adopted n silver standard !
"Oh ! but Miss Abercromblo , " he was sayIng -
Ing , "you cannot mean It , to leave town Jusl
In the height of the season. Why , the un
derpinning > vlll be knocked from everything ,
nnd wo shall all bo a lot of humpty-
uumptlcs. "
"Kismet , " Monica replied , "the doctor ha :
epoken ; the decree , I may say the prescrip
tion , has goue forth. Papa is ordered soutr
to Palmettavlilc , and of course I must gt
with him. A. veek hence we shall bo or
our way , so I woiild advise all the humpty-
tlumptles not to gel on the wall. "
"But wo are thcn > already , you know,1
piotested the chorus o ! youths.
"Pnlmettavlllo ? " continued Cyril. "Why

It ? nitln't you nr your Great Southwest
railway ImJ Just about reaclie.it thai point ? "
"Then , " began Monica , with duo regard
for the proper thin * to say , "th n wo may
hare the pleasure "
"Not likely. " Interrupted Wlnn. "What
with getting up before dabreak nntJ plow-
Inn through Bvvnmps and fulling down
precipices all day long. I shall have no ( line
for philandering. "
"Aht" Thcro was a concerted gasp from
the horrified youths , which warned Monica
how trlvlnl was the en use.
"Yours Is a singular vocation , Mr. Wlnn , "
she said , "but I doubt not It's very con
genial. " Yet she felt annoyed because the
chorus snickered.
"Well , " asked Cyril , aa .ho and Wlnn
strolled down the avenue to the club.
"Well , what do you think of our princess ? "
"A nice girl enough. " replied Wlnn con
templatively. "Of course , a rose among
cabbages does smell the sweeter. Shu's a
mere girl , after nil. "
"I am one ot the cabbages , " retorted
Cyril warmly.
"You're a good fellow , all the same , "
said Wlnn , as they entered the club , "nnd
I wish you luck , which means that I'll
buy. "
When they were cozy and comfortable In
the smoking room , after n mistaken mascu
line Idea , Crolghton continued : "Then , old
man , if you run across the Aborcrombles
down south , you'll look out for them , for my
snkol"
"Well , since you Insist. Out Isn't such a
commission rather dangerous ? "
"No. I glvo you n full Indemnity policy
against any sucli accident. There's llttla of
the John Alden about you , and as for the
prlpcess. I couldn't picture her as 1'rlscllln. "
"No time for philandering. Indeed , " mur
mured Monica Abercrombla that night as
she looked Into the glass for the last tlmo
before turning out the light. "I hope I
may never see hla Impudent face again. "
However , fate Is deaf to the volco of hope ;
for the following week on the southern
limited train , with her father do/Ing In the
next chair , when Monica raised her eyes
from her reading at the shadow from a tall
form , she recognized this countenance so dis
pleasing.
"On your way to the plowing nnd the fallIng -
Ing ? " Monica asked.
"Yes , " replied Wlnn , "and not to the
phllanerlng. "
"Thank heavens , ho smokes , " murmured
the princess , as the shadow disappeared.
But smoking1 , llko all other good things , re
quires Intervals of abstinence ; for , after an
hour , Wlnn reappeared. "Hero Is the latest
Illustrated magazine , " ho began , "If you
would like to look at It. There are several
silly stories "
"No , thank you , " snld Monica , frigidly.
"I have this quarterly. "
"So I perceived ; that Is why I suggested
the change. "
At this juncture the cgro awoke , nnd ,
learning that the young man was chief en
gineer In the construction of the Great
Southwestern , proceeded to swallow him
after the fashion ot such ogres , that Is , to
asstmllato all the Information ho could
furnish. Aud Wlnn sat down bcsldo him
qtilto deferential and ready to b3 thus con
sumed ; provoklngly ready , so It seemed , for
It was provoking to hear him talk so Inter
estingly on such a stupid subject , and to
papa of all persons.
"I really think you would have found my
substitute preferable , " snld Wlnn as ho was
leaving , with a glance at the quarterly.
"No , Indeed , " replied Monica. "I have
been quito absorbed In this article. "
"A la Chlnots ? Quite an accomplishment ,
I'm sure , " he murmured , and It was only
when ho was too far away for any retalia
tion that Monica perceived that she held her
book upstdo down.
"A fine young follow , " commented the
ogre "We must cultivate him. "
"Ho needs It , " added the girl , viciously.
All this was bad enough tu one whoso self
had always been the sun , but the next day
was worse. The two men would talk , and
In such dlsagreeabl ? proximity , of grades
and cuts and double tracks , mid bonds and
first preferred , nnd what not. She had no
such retreat as a smoking car ; If she had ,
wouldn't she Just seek It , nnd then , in her
absence , she might sesm of more Importance
than a disregarded listener to an ex
traneous conversation. As It was the con
trast was simply humiliating , papa had fairly
snored yesterday , and today he never
blinked ! Well , than't goodness , on the
morrow the Journey ivould end , and there
would be no more time for such subjects
than there was for philandering !
But the morrow didn't prove an exception
to the general rule , for , Instead of arriving
at Palmettavllle an time , the train leaped
from the spreading tracks and plumped the
ponderous Pullmans Into the mud. There
was no great harm done , and perhaps som :
torpid livers received benefit ; but , as a delaj
of twenty-four hours was Inevitable , and the
cars stuck at various distressing angles tt
the perpendicular. It was decided that the
passengers should remove to a hotel , sup
posed to be about a mile distant. And t
very moderate supposition It proved before
this removal was consummated , and the trav
elers , mire-stalneil and thicket-torn , arrived
at the great white caravansary with room :
enough for an army and accommodation In
commensurate to a rear flic. Of course
every ona was exhausted and cross , excepi
Wlnn , who seemed to be amused. Doubtless
ho thought plowing through swamps and
falling down mountains among the elements
of a young lady's education. Not that he
wasn't gallant enough at times ; still lie coulc
not feel overgrateful for an assistance whlcl
a moment later ho was rendering to some old
colored woman. Resides , on the only decenl
portion of the way that everlasting clattei
about grades , etc. , had bsen resumed.
Yes , Monica Abercromble was , certain ! ]
numbered with those who were exhausted am
cross. Nor did she regain her equanimity
despite the fact that some ono had obtalnci
for her the choicest loom ; for she qulcklj
learned that her maid had left behind tlia
particular handbag which contained such cs
scntlal trifles as curling Irons and pins ant
powder. Horrors , what could she do ? I
there was one spot where a princess shotili
not look like a fright It was in the wilder
ness , whcro every one else did.
This question was answered by a dlsci'ee
rap and a dlscreeter , "It Is I , " nnd Mr. Wlni
handed In the Identical estray. All vcr
well , and It certainly was thoughtful of htri
to have tramped back to the cars , as ho mus
have done , but why , oh why , did he smile si
hatefully , nnd why did ho say ; "I know yoi
would be sure to want It ? " What buslnes
had ha with any such knowledge , and wha
right to apply It to her ?
It was In quito a sulky mood that Monlc
went down to the great waste of a dlnlni
room , where the waiter had to actually nun
for the table , and she tossed her head quit
disdainfully when Wlnn Joined her fathe
at dessert an appropriate name for the en
tire meal , by the way and began 'to discus
the latest Improved method of excavating
Alas , Wlnn noticed signs only for mlslntci
prctatlon ! Ho abandoned his train of argu
Incnt to remark cordially that such unrc
mantle topics must bo tedious to her , and h
begged to BUCK st that the young folks wer
disporting themselves out In the grovi

from the brambles. Neither Monica nether

should hold down Us head to save Its leg
from breaking , and that she should rlilo away
after assistance. Dimly grasping the grootn'i

woodmen were nt work , Monica BUrttd on
the quest. Cro sha had gene a half mile she
\\as disconcerted ; cro the distance reached a
mile she was bewildered , for a sudden dark
ening , a heavy , slcklsh stillness In the air
presaged a storm ,
Now , It there was ono thing , and thorn
wcro many , ot which Monica Abercrombla
was afraid. It was a thunder storm. Surely
fate had not been so cruel as to cast her
alone In the midst of one ! Evidently fate
hud been exactly that cruel , for far-away
mutturlncs advanced and coalesced Into
crashes , and through the Interlacing boughs
shot vivid vibrant flashes of light. Tha
stout little horse caught the terrors ot Ita
rider and dashed onward madly , and when
Monica at length summoned sutllclent couraga
to check It she realized , that she had lost
her way. Was there no ono no great ,
grand , splendid ono one who would come td
her aid when so distressed ? Hardly had
her heart utteied. the prayer when down
the bank from the wood clambered a big ,
roughly-clad man , and oh. relief unuttera
ble , the creature so burly , so uncouth , proved
to bo James Wlnn. Waa It possible thai slu
could be so overjoyed at his easy , Impudcnl
presence , hateful smile , and all !
Hut Wlnn's manner became solicitous , hit

Monica's fears and stress.
"How fortunate , " ho exclaimed , "that w
met ! The camp Is but n few roilsv distant ,
and some of my men will hasten to assist
your groom. Meanwhile , If you will rest In a
primitive sort of hut , where I sometimes put
up , until this storm passes over , I shall beg
for the honor of driving you to the hotel In
our cart. Not so awfully primitive , you
know , " continued Wlnn shrewdly , reading
the young girl's pallor and shrlnklugs , "for
do you know , I'm ntlinmeil to confcsn It , but
a thunder storm knocks the heart right out

In a Jiffy James Wlnn lifted his compan

"Oh , Mr. Wlnn. " cried Monica , "I can'l

And as the days passed by and she nclthct

trust her memory and to belle ; e such vain
Imaginings. Perhaps she felt In co'nse-
quenco that her mind must be affected , for
she abandoned riding and coddled melan
choly by long , solitary walks. After all ,
nature was satisfying ; there was no pro-
ten so about her. One didn't learn to re
spect , to admire , only to bo treated with
scorn.
Ono day , when Monica was sitting In a
favorite retreat formed by a mossy trunk
and the overjuttlng bank of the brock ,
muiJng on the disappointments In life and
the prevalence of sawdust In dolls , there
came a manly tread , and James Wlnn stood
beside her. Yes , there could bo no doubt
about his Identity , for If ever a man smiled
hatefully that man was ho. Still , he had
been kind to het , and she must thank him
now , since his hasty departure on that evenIng -

"I am so glid of this opportunity to ac

"Oh , as for that. I promised Crelghton I

"If a cat may look at a king , I thlnh

"My opinion Isn't necessary ; If It were ,
I should say lamba were safer In the fold. "
"In the club , you mean. Well , " con
tinued Wlnn , settling himself comfortably
by the young lady's side , "I shall send him
a telegram , then , stating that the risks
against which he Insured mo have all ac

"I don't understand you , Mr. Wlnn. "
"No ? I am not greatly surprised. Un-
destandlng Is a masculine attribute , I
think. "
"Rudeness certainly Is. Oh "
"There , there , " said Wlnn , as he kissed
her eyes , welling with mortification , and
her lips , trembling with words she * would ,
not speak , "you musn't feel badly. "
"I hate you , " protested the * disenchanted
Princess , "I think you are conceited and dic

how to so overmaster a poor girl ? "
