Ills fatht'i. twur Mimln him over to mt wont to Ktmio. Iio foro Ion v lux lie gnvo me a single 1 structlun vlx: "Don't lot any woman simru liltn while I nai nwny." 1 inado a companion of Alec, and lie seemed to on Joy my society In preferi iico to that of young follows of hb i wti npre. He gave uio Ills conlldonce lu everything but one. A woman laid siege for him. nnd h did not tell mo. Ills father had lectured him before going nway on bis susceptibility nnd told him that I was empowered to forbid his attention to any woman. Alee not only failed to trust the matter to mo, but told tbo woman who was trying to snare him of my -bärge. Sb was smart enough to Urep aloof from me, and I did tint discover her or her object till 1 was Informed of both by the housekeeper. I warned the house keeper not tu divulge the fact thnt 1 knew of what was going on. If 1 could save the buy I r.ukl put bis father under ebllgatl ;s. Mr. Kirk bad great piJitlml iiUiiietne. Alee wMtt'd the lady to win my good opinion. She, suppolm.' that I knew nothing of their affair, consented, though reluctautly. I was Introduced to . Mlsis Martha Colllngwood, aged twenty 'eight. Impecunious, passably good looking and of a common family. I called on her with Alee and during the call manifested n friendliness that disarmed both. mit while extondlnj the olive branch I was sharpening the sword. 1 suggested that Miss Colllngwood nnd Alec use the tennis court at his home nnd even offered If we could llnd another girl to make up a set with them myself. I had In mind Miss Gladys lloyle. a young lady who had the faculty of making the most rasping remarks with tho most kindly pretended itltentlons. Knowing that there Is nothing which will turn a man from a woman quicker than a feminine flgbt, I hoped to use Miss lloyle for the pur

pose of drawing out whatever of temper Miss Collltigwood might possess

and Intended that Alec should witness

the scrimmage. We secured Miss lloyle, and I chose her for my partner. Miss Colllngwood opened the fame, serving to me. I sent the ball back, und she returned it. It dropped Just within the line, but I pronounced it foul. "That wasn't foul," said Miss Colllngwood. I looked at my partner for support. "Certainly It was," she said. "My eyes must have deceived me," Bald Miss Colllngwood. "Some people can't play tennis at all," returned Miss lloyle, "ou account of their eyes. I thought I saw something amiss with yours. It's quite noticeable." There was an ominous flash from Miss Colllngwood. She made no reply, nnd the game went on. My own game hnd opened auspiciously, and fortune continued to favor nie. Miss noyle lu volleylt.g close to the net sent, the ball njralmt Miss Collingwood's jire The latter dropped her racket n::d et ugh t n trickling stream of blood In her handkerchief. "You did thnt en purpose." she cried, casting a flahlitg glance nt Miss lloyle. "You (latter nie. If 1 could lilt a mark like that I'd enter for a chumplonihlp." replied Miss lloyle. r Miss Colllngwood was getting ready for a rejoinder when I added to her ruffling by asking If she would proceed with the game. "I don't think she'd better," Miss Hoyle put In, "with thnt nose. It'll ba all the colors of the ralpbow tomorrow. My advice is raw beef." ''Some people are offensive with their ndvlce," snapped the sufferer. Pleasure had gone out of the game for Alec. lie proposed to stop playing. Miss Colllngwood started for the house to put cold wnter on her nose. Alee, instead of accompanying her, found occupation In gathering the balls nnd rackets. I whlspored to hifn to tat Miss noyle home. She smilingly accepted his invitation. As tho two walked away Miss Colllngwood turned nnd dnrted a (lery spark. I snw her home, adding fuel to the flame by telling her that I thought Miss Hoyle had Bent the ball against her nose on purpose and was trying to catch Alec.

I supposed thnt I had only made a beginning, but I was mistaken. When Alec and I met ngaln he confessed to me that there had been an affair between him and Miss Colllngwood (at which I expressed great surprise), but Hint it wns ended. I kindly ofTercd to Kive him my ndvlco ns to the best method of dropping it The Illusion bad passed out of him, and nothing could bring It back. When Mr. Kirk returned from Enrope I made no mention of his son's escape, but he learned of It and asked me nbont It. I told him tho story, nt the end of which he said: "You shculd be In the diplomatic corps. Tho first requisite of a diplomat is absence of conscience. Judging from your acts In this case, you don't know the meanltig.of the word." I confessed that I had a hankerlnR In the diplomatic line, and ho promised to see the secretary of state In my in terest. Tho result was an appointment, asd, having begun with n small atreka, I am bow aaaklnx bbf mm.

HAVE REASON TO BE PROUD

Achievements of the American Peoptc Afford View of Unbroken Line of Progress.

During tjio past 25 years 100,000 miles of railrond have been built, requiring an expenditure f not less than $'00,000,000 for labor nnd material. We are both producer nnd-consumers. While our population is only n little over five per cent, of the population of the world, wo produce 20 per cent, of tho wheat, '10 per cent, of the iron nnd steel, 55 por cent, of the copper, TO per cent, of the cotton nnd 80 per cent, of the corn of tho world. Furthermore, with inconceivable rapidity, machinery has taken the place of human toil, and incidentally millions of slaves have been set free. The same triumphant progress has unvaryingly characterized every phase of human endeavor on tho American continent. Civil and religious liberty is n natural condition as well as an attitude of mind. The story of agriculture, of mnnufneturimi, of mining, of the arts nnd sciences, demonstrafes the unbroken progress and uplift of the whole people. Finally, the health and well-being of the toiling masses have become, with constantly increasing earnestness of en

deavor, the individual and collective

purpose of the nation. And abovo

all, tho democratic idea, through good and evil report, has encouraged tho personal work and character of the individual citizen. It has

always believed that competition

which encourages akill should re

First Sweet Thing Oh, he's awfully gone upon her, dear, 1 assure you.' lie's been praising her beauty to mo for the last ten minutes, enlarging upon her eyes, her complexion, her mouth Second Sweet Thing Oh, 1 don't think he could possibly do that, darling. WHAT HE WAS DOINQ. Two young Louisville clerks, having a day off, each hired a bicycle and look a spin in the country. Ten miles from town the cyclists decided to have a race. One distanced tho other Boino 300 yards and was rejoicing in his victory, when, in turning a bad comer he collapsed over a heap of stones. The wheel was demolished and the rider was irretrievably mixed among tho spokes. An aged woman, who happened to le passing, wns met ntta turn in the road by clerk No. 2. ".My good woman," said he, "have you seen a young man ona bicycle around here?" "I have not," eho answered, simply; "but I snw a young man up the road a ways, who was sitting on the bank, mending umbrellas." AMERICAN IN LONDON. , Mrs. Miller Graham, who is now one of tho wealthy hostesses of Grosvenor street, will take the place of Mrs. Keppel, who was such a great favorite of King Edward. She is tho widow of a California millionaire and one of her ball novelties was a huge wntermelon which wns rolled into tho middle of the room. A huge knife waa supplied to cut it nnd when opened n tiny pickaninny hopped out and began to pelt tho guests with flowers. SAME LANGUAGE. "I'm afraid we'll have to cut that man's acquaintance," said tho woman of strictly correct ideas. "Yes," replied Miss Cayenno. 'He uses the same sort of language that
