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

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
would look out for you on his account. "

"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 ? "
