HEKO PROVED HIS FITNESS.

tn tares tin Story In Connection with Con

tain Dowdy's Nomination. The records of the War Department

show au Interesting story In connection with the nomination by the President of an officer on the retired list of the army.

Robert W. Dowdy, to be a captain in tne

active service. At the outbreak or tne Spanish war Dowdy was a lieutenant in the Seventeenth infantry. As the troops were lying at Tampa waiting to embark he took his examination for promotion as

cantain. but was found physically unfit.

The recommendation of the board thfit he

be retired was forwarded to Washington. Meantime the Seventeenth went to Cuba and Dowdy went along. He was in the thick of the fighting everywhere, suffered every hardship and exposure, and went

through the whole campaign witnoui los

ing a day from illness. Just as the troops returned in victory to the United States, the papers came back from Washington

retiring Dowdy from service, upou iook-

ng into the case the President was sausiH that this was a narticnlar hardship.

and that the man who was strong enough to render such service as Dowdy had rendered was good to retain in active service.

hence the nomination. URGENT DEMAND. BUOYANT PRICES.

Call for Supplies for Both Domestic and

Foreign Demand. Bradstreet's says: "Iron and steel and

cotton goods have shared in public inter

est for a few davs because of urgency in

demand and consequent buoyancy in prices. In the former industry the striking feature has been the continued call for supplies alike of raw and of manufactured

material, not only on domestic out even on foreign account, and it is as yet too early to ascertain the effect of the numer

ous and heavy advances ennounceu upon the export demand. In cotton goods, as in Iron and steel and a number of other products, active export demand seems to

have been at the bottom or toe unquestionable improvement which has occurred in the last three months. The export trade in cotton goods is the largest ever known for the period since Jan. 1. Cereal products remain steady and but little changed in price. Wheat, including flour, Mimusta tor the week aggregate 3,844,-

859 bushels, against 2,454,771 bushels last week. Corn exports for the week aggregate 2,871,057 bushels, against 1,500.843

- CHAPTER III. The visit to the Court heing decided on,

Miss Kavanagh undertakes life nfresn with a joyous heart. Lord and Lady Baltimore are the best host and hostess in the world, and a visit to them means unmirerl nlensure while it lasts. The Court

; indeed the nleasantest House in tne

countv. the most desirable in nil respects,

and the gayest. Yet. strange and sad lo

add, happiness has found no lied wiinin us walls.

This is the more remarkable :n that the

marriage of Lord and Lndy Baltimore has

been nn nlmost idealistic one. They h.vd

been verr much in love with each otner

snd thev crew so strong in their liener in

the immntnhilitv of tneir own reunions.

one to the other, thnt when the blow fell that nenn rated them, it proved a very

lightning stroke, dividing soul from bony. Lndy Baltimore was at no lime a beautiful woman. But there is always a charm

in her face, a strength, an attractiveness that might well defy the more material chnrms of one lovelier than herself. With a soul as pure as ber face, and a mind en

tirely innocent or the world s evil ways, and the sad nnd foolish secrets she is compelled to bear upon her tired bosom from century to century, she took with a bitter hardness the revelations of her husband's former life before he married her, related to her by, of course, a devoted friend.

Unfortunately the authority was an undeniable one. It was impossible for Iidy I Baltimore to refuse to believe. The p;st. too, she might have condoned; though, believing in her husband as she did, it would always have been bitter to her, but the devoted friend had not stopped there; she bad gone a step further, a fatal step: she had told her something that had not occurred since their marriage. As n fact, Lord Baltimore had been the hero of several ugly passages in his life. His early life, rertninly; but n young wife who hns begun by thinking him immaculate, would hnrdly be the one to lay stress upon thnt. And when her friend, who had tried unsuccessfully to marry Lord Baltimore and had failed, had in the kindliest spirit, of course, opened her eyes tu his misdoings, she had at first passionately refused to listen, then had listened, and then was ready to believe anything. One episode in his past history had been

made much of. The young heroine of it had been an actress. This was bail enough, but when the disinterested frieud went on to sny thnt Lord Baltimore hud been seen in her company only so !ong ago as lust week, mutters came to a climax. Thnt wns many months ngo from to-dny, but the shock, when it cnnie, shattered all tbe sacred feelings in I-ady Baltimore's heart. She grew cold, callous, indifferent. Her mouth, a really beautiful

I feature, that used to be a picture of sc- ' A,i Mmrifv nersnnified. hardened.

She became austere, cold. She was still a good hostess, and those who had known her before her misfortune still loved her. But Rhe made no new friends, and she sat down within herself, as it were, nnd gave herself up to her fate, and would probably have died or grown reckless but for her little son. And it wns after the birth of this beloved child thnt she had been told that, her husband had again been seen in comiwiny with Mine. Istrny, thnt teemed to add fuel to the fire already kindled. She could not forgive that. It was proof positive of his baseness. He thought her heartless. There wns no scandal, no miblie separation. She snid

n word or two to him that told him what she hnd heard, nnd when he tried to exnisin the truths of that lust libel thnt hnd

declared him unfaithful to her since her marriage, she had silenced him with so

cold, so scornful, so contemptuous a glance nnd word, that, chilled nnd angered in his turn, he hnd left her. Twice afterward he had sought to exirinin nmtt. Ta hilt it WI1N USeleSS. BIlO

would not listen; tne ireaencrous iiu-im. whom she never betrayed, had dune her work well. Lndy Baltimore, though she never forgave her, never forgave her husband, either; she would make no formal attempt at a separation. Before the world she nnd he lived together, seemingly on the best terms: nt all events, on quite ss good terms ns most of their acnunintances; yet nil the world knew how i- was with them. So long as there are servants, so long will it be Impossible to conceal our most sorred secrets. As for Lord Baltimore, he we! I, he would know how to console himself.

CHAPTER IV. Luncheon is at an end aud the day still heavv with heat, the desire f ir action that lies i'n every brenst takes fire. They are all tired of doing nothing. The tennis courts lie invitingly empty, nnd rackets thrust themselves into notice at every turn- ns for the balls, worn out from ennui, thev insert themselves under ench arched instep threntening to bring the owners lo the ground unless picked up and made use of. "Who wants a beating? demands Mr. Dicky Brown nt last, unable to pretend lassitude any longer. Taking up a racket, he brandishes it wildly, presumably to atm tent Ion This is nec ?ssary. As a

rule, nobody pays any attention to Dicky nmn He is a nondescript sort of

young man, of the negative order, with no feature to speak of. and a cspltal opinion of himself. Income vague. Age unknown. . "Well! That's one way of putting it, snys Miss Kavanugh, with a tilt of her pretty chin. "Is it a riddle?" asked Dysarr. ' If so I know it. The answer is Dicky Browne." "Oh, I like that!" says Mr. Browne unabashed. "See here, I'll give you plus fifteen and a bisque, and Btart myself at minus thirty, and beat yon in n canter." "Dear Mr. Browne, consider the day! I believe there arc such things ns sunstrokes," says Lady Swnnsdown, in ber

l sweet treble.

"There are. But Dicky's all right," says Lord Baltimore, drawing up a garden chnir close to hers and seating himself upon it. "His head is so hard. The sun makes no impression upon jranite!" "Ah, gmuite! that applies to a heart, not n head," says Lndy Swrnsdown, resting her blue eyes on Baltimore for just a swift second.

It is wonderful, however, what her eyes enn do In a second. Baltimore laughs

lightly, returns ber glance four-fold, and draws his chnir a quarter of an inch closer

to hers. To move it more than that would

have been an impossibility.

Lady Swnnsdown makes t slight move

ment. With a smile serapnic as an angei a she nulls her lnce skirts s. little to one

side, as if to prove to Baltimore tnat ne

hns encroached beyond his privileges upon

her domain. "People should not crush people. And why no you want to get so

raises to his.

There had been a whisper or two in the

county about her and Lord Baltimore.

Kvervbodv knew the latter had heen

wife, but nothing to signify very much-

nothing one could lay one s finger on, until

Lndv Swnnsdown had come down last

venr to the Court. Whether Baltimore

him.

"Whose heart?" asks Baltimore, apro

It is a lending remark, ami something

bending over bis lovely gu st, and looking

at her with an admiration too open to b

quite respectful. But she betrays no re

sentment. She smiles bnel; nt him indeed

in that little slow, seductive way of hers,

nnd makes him an answer in a tone too

low for even those nearest to her to hear.

It is a sort of challenge, a tacit acknowl

edgment that they two ar. alone even in , the midst of all these tiresime people. Baltimore accepts it. Of late he has grown a little reckless. The battling against circumstances has been too nuii.-h for him. He hns gouo niider. The persistent coldness of his wife, her refusal to hear or believe in him. has hnd its effect. A man of a nnturilly warm nil kindly disposition, thrown thus back upon himself, he has now given :i loose rein to the carelessness that has been a part of

his nature since his tnoth-r gave him to the world, mid allows himself to swim or go down with the tide thai carries his life upon its bosom. Lndy Swnnsdown is lovely and kin.i. Hft leans toward Baltimore, her lively cyVs alight, her soft moiita smiling. Her whispered words, her ouly hnlf-atcrted stances, all told th.-ir tale. Presently it is

clear that a very fully developed flirtation

is well in hand. Lady Baltimore coming icross the grass with a basket in one hand nnd her little son held fondly by the other, sees nnd grasps the situation. Baltimore, leaning over Iody Swansdown. the latter lying back in her lounging chair in her usual indolent fashion, swaying her fenther fan from side to side, and with her white lids

seeing it an, buhiiuwich ,,,wi,i hardens, and a contemptuous expression destroys the calm dignity of lie.- fnce. For the moment only. Another moment nml it is gouc: she tins rccovert-d herself. The one sign of emotion she has betrayed is swallowed up by her stern determination to conceal nil pain at all cosis, nnd. if her lingers tighten scmewhat convulsively on those of her boy's, why, who can be the wiser for that? No one cm see it. Dyxnrt, however, who is honestly fond of his cousin, has mastered that first swift involuntary contraction oi the calm brow, and a sense of tndigiian: anger against Baltimore and his somewhat reckless companion fires his blood. He springs quickly to Ms feet. Lady Bnltimnre, noting, the action, though not understanding the motive for it. turns nml smiles at hi in so controlled

a smile that it quiets him nl once.

"I nil going to the gnrdens to try and cajole Mclntyre out of bmuc roses," says she, in her sweet, slow way, stopping near the first group she reaches on the lawn the group that contains, among others, her husband and her friend. She would not willingly have stnyed where they were, but she is too proud to pnns thein by without a word. "Who will come with me? Oh! no," as several rise to join her, laughing, though rather faintly. "It Is not compulsoryeven though I j,o alone. 1 shall feel thnt I am equal to M-Jlntyre." Lord Baltimore had started as ber first words fell upon bis ears. He had been

so preoccupied that her light footfalls com

ing over the grass nnd not reacueu uiiu, and her voice, when it fell upon the air, gave him a shock. He half rises from his 8Mt- . , . "Shall I?" he is beginning, and then stops short; something iu her face checks him. "You!" she conquers herself half a second later; all the scorn and contempt is crushed by sheer force of will out of look and tone, and she goes on as clearly and as entirely without emotion ns though she wre a mere iiiu-hin'-n thing she hnd taught herself to I.e. "Not you." she snys, gnyly, waving him lightly from her. "ion are ioo useful here" as she says this she gives him the softest, if fleetest, smile. It is a mnsterpieec. "Yon can amuse one, here and there, while- I want a girl." "If you are going u the (.'aniens, Ijidy

"Come, then," says Lady Baltimore, graciously. She makes n step forward; little Hertie. as though he likes, and be

lieves in her, thrusts his small fist into

the hand of the Birmingham heiress, and
