She looked up at him out of the corner of her eye. "Why do you say that?" "It has occurred to me that you would grace some old English home where your position would be better defined than here. With us the prominence given to blood has died out. There it is still a feature." "When it is united with money." "Yes." "lrou think, then, that it would be nice for me to marry some impoverished gentleman in England and take his rank. I might marry into my own family there. You know my father came from England." "Indeed!" "Y'es, and what you propose has been suggested. A cousin of mine is now traveling in America, and I expect him to join us here next week."

Kenton did not like the situation. In the first place, to think of the girl taking his advice, marrying her cousin and going where he would never see her again was horrible to him in the second place, when the lady should learn that he had met Mr. Bugbee and had said nothing to her about the meeting she would give him the cold shoulder. "Have you ever seen him?" he asked. "No." "Miss Medbury," said Kenton', "I have a confession to make." And he told her that he had met her cousin. "I can understand your position perfectly," she said. "Now tell me all about him."

Kenton wras greatly relieved and resolved not to place himself in a similar position again. He gave a description of Mr. Bugbee that had he heard it must have delighted that gentleman. Miss Medbury listened till he had fin lshed. "I wish," she said, "to ask you a question to which I expect a reply on your sacred honor. Do you think my cousin a man of whom I would be proud?" "That is not a question for me to decide." "I consider you a friend," she con tinued after a brief silence. "Now tell me, would you like to see me married to the gentleman you met on the steamer?" ,, "I would not." "Why?" "I should not like to see you married to any one." "What! Would you have me. remain an old maid?"

"No."

"It seems to me you have placed me on the horns of a dilemma—I am not to marry or remain an old maid." "I did not finish my answer to one of your questions. I would have you marry no one except myself."

Miss Medbury burst out laughing. Kenton looked rueful. "Mr. Kenton," she said, laying a hand on his arm soothingly, "my cousin wrote of his meeting with you and said you would be here this summer. H% spoke of you very unkindly, at the same time prejudicing me against him in other respects."

A week later Miss Medbury and Mr. Kenton were introduced in the parlor of the hotel in the mountains. Kenton refrained from mentioning having met her cousin.

Miss Medbury proved a very agree abie companion. Kenton looked upon her as an engaged young lady who was permitting him to be companionable to till the time before the arrival of Mr. Bugboe. lie put off mentioning his having met the gentleman til! at last it occurred to him that lie would appear as having played a somewhat undesirable role in keeping his knowledge secret. Meanwhile Miss Medbury showed unmistakable signs of an especial preference for Kenton's society. One evening while they were sitting in a cozy corner of the hotel they began that skirmishing which usually comes between an intimacy and outspoken love. "You go next week?" said Miss Medbury, looking down at a flower with which she was toying. "You will be much missed here." ''Perhaps," replied Kenton, "some one will come along to supply the place I have taken, so far as you are concerned." "I expect no one who can fill the place you have filled." "Possibly some day we shall meet again. It may be in the mountains?, at the seashore, or perhaps you may be married and living abroad."

issue contains

worst's new novel,e Master of Craven." emendously strong tale ,and to excite—and abun.ritly satisfy—a wide interest wherever the name ol Van Vorst is known among" all classes. The author is American through audthrough, though she spends much time in Paris, whose atmosphere is productive of the good fiction that comes straight to the hearts of her own coun-

tryman. Of the half-dozen short stones which follow "The Master of Craven," each one possesses a delightfully distinct significance and individualism. "The Door to the Rright," by Baroness von Hutton (the creator of "Patn"), is a clever social problem story "Jack's Bill-Board Girl" by Norval Richardson, is a humorous theatrical story "The House on Fayette Street," by a new writer of considerable originality, Jane Belfield, is about

Francies a Dragon, a Lover, CJoldfish and a Rose" "A Missionary Appropriation," by Editli Morgan Willett, is a burglar story, concerning a portentously funny merchant and his wife "The Atonement," by LuellenCass Teters, is a humorous story of love and superstition and "The Strike ^in the Clarion Office," by Caroline A. Iluling, is a striking "strike" story connected with a newspaper office. "Is a Surplus More of a Menace than a Surety?" by alinacier who calls himself simply, "W. L. "is likely to provoke no little argument by readers in the business world. "W. L." contends that "A moderate surplus maybe allowed as a wise provision to meet some unusual percentage of loss without impar ment of Capital, but the only other good excuse for a surplus is that in some States the capital only is taxed, and in the form of a surplus addition capital is secured free from taxation."

The bi-centenary of Benjamin Franklin's death is celebrated by a protrait of "Poor Richard" on the cover of the magazine and by a paper on "Franklin's Trials as a Benefactor," by Emma Repplier. This makes us realize, at least a little, the difficulties endured by this great philanthropist. Wimer Bedford concludes his "Memories of Some Generals of the Civil War" by interesting recollections of General McPherson, Howard, Dennis and others.,

The verse of the month is attuned to the spirit of "a sunbeam in a winter's day" and the "Walnuts and Wine" department makes its bow to its many friends, and a Happy New Year!

THE SEISES DANCE.

It In Reputed to Have Originated With the Apostlea. At Seville, in Spain, the dances of the "seises" are gravely reputed to have originated in the apostles having followed the example set by David and danced around our Lord after the last supper. While St. Augustine contemned the dance devotional, St. Chrysostom is said to have taken part in it, and, notwithstanding a prohibitory decree of 01)2, it was exeeed'/igly popular in Spain at tlie commencement of the seventeenth century. During certain ceremonies the seises dance daily before the high altar xf Seville cathedral in the presence otXenormous crowds, including the arclilfshop and all the "Now," writes and Eyewitness, "the dancing boys are dressed in the costume of Philip and Mary's days, with short capes, an abundance of streamers, plumed hats and white silk shoes. The organ is supplemented by a string band. The old world air aiad song of the seises have been compared to the music of a comic opera. After sundry movements the castanets ariv used.

CORRESPONDENT AND TRAVELER. -,

Few newspapers in the United States are able to command the services of as brilliant a corps of correspondents as that of the a go or a I choice of a correspondent is indicative of The Record-Herald's policy of obtaining the best there is to be had. Walter Wellman, the well-known author on political subjects and one of the ablest writers of the day, acts in that capacity.

Mr. Wellman was born in Mentor, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1853. At the age of 14 he began his newspaper experience, establishing at that age a weekly paper in the little town of Sutton, Neb. and a year later established the Cincinnati Evening Post. .PHln 1884 he became the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Herald and in 1«92 he visited Central America and the West Indies and located tlie landing place of Columbus on Watling's (San Salvador) Island, and marked the spot with a huge stone monument.® Mr. Wellman's dashes for the north pole are well known.'-.In 1894 he made the first of his two Arctic voyages of exploration, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees northeast of Spitsbergen. In 1898 he returned to the North, penetrated to Franz Josef Land, returning again to this country in 1899. On each trip'lie met with wonderful success in the discovery of new islands and lands, and brought back with him scientific data and information of great value to the American Geographical Society.

Mr. Wellman has been a voluminous writer tor scientific magazines and popular periodicals. On returning from his arctic trips he renewed his connection with The Record-Herald and is now the ^Washington correspondent of that paper. His incisive discussion of contempo rary affairs has given linn a place high place in the regard ol statesmen and scientists of the day. ..

The LeRoy Stock Company.

The following is from the Indianapolis Sentinel and refers to the Bondman as presented at the Indiana theatre in Indianapolis by the LeRoy Stock Co. who will open a three nights engagement at Gant's opera house Monday evening."Despite the inclemency of the weather, a fair sized crowd attended the Bondman' last night and judging from the applause were highly pleased with the performance. "Jason Orry, as portrayed by Mr. LeRoy, was a splendid piece of acting and was beyond a doubt the character Hall Cain intended his hot headed son of the north should. The intensity of his hatred for his half brother and the tenacity of purpose with which he follows Sunlocks to kill him are so real that when upon meeting Sunlock face to face and saving him from death the audience go fairly wild with joy. The other parts were in capable hands and were han died in a painstaking manner. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Adair came in for more than the usual amount of credit from the pleasing way their respective parts were played' "Mr. LeRoy has taken great yains and gone to considerable expense in staging the play that held the boards last night and a full house should have greeted him."
