William Curtis felt that there were all the elements of a quarrel la the t'l tl: a, and although naturally 1 nJ-trcng he was determined not to precipitate matters.

not yielded? Ills Judgment had led him astray; that at least was how he viewed the matter now. Yet ha was conscious that he had 'acted rightly;

to have given way taljht have beea the way of outward peace, bat ha knew he would have despised himself had

ha acted otherwise than as he did. Mary herself gave no apparent sign that the break had affected her seriously. She wondered that ha had not returned her presents and that he had never acknowledged the ring. She resolved that he should not think she cared, and although they met ''frequently they Ignore 1 each other. Mary, however, was suffering; she was still In love with him, and would have been glad of an 'opportunity to show it. Alas, that awful pride, the undoing of many. William Curtis kept his grief to

himself. Mary tried to make him Jeal

ous; as often as she could she showed herself in the companionship of a man

whom she knew Curtis despised and

detested. Thi3 served a two-fold ob

ject; it diverted her, caused her to

forget in the excitement of the new corapanlonsh'p the void in her heart.

and also, she hoped . (Mary wa3 Dot

very original) it would raise the Jeal ou3y of her late lover.

But Curtis was not touched any

way outwardly. Yet in his heart there raged the discontent and horror of Jealousy, that she should have thought fit to seek distraction and

pleasure with Manners, cringing, mis

erable and self-cvinlonated Manners

why, it filled him with disgust! Surely she could not think seriously of

mating herself with such a man.

And if William Curtis had only

known. Mary compared every action,

every word of Manners with what Curtis himself would have done in the same circumstances, and the compari

sons were to the benefit, the great ben eSt, of her late fiance.

One day Curtis was walking by the

side of the river; the towing path

was almost deserted, the sun was shin

Romanlle Iliatorr of tbe Old Bona

parte Ete of VllleuB.I. Mr. Corey, a steel trust magnate and

his wife, have hired the former coun

try house of the Lata emperor's uncle, Jerome, who fifty years ago was known in Paris as the ex-king of

Westphalia, the Frankfort English

Mall says. He himself took the tlu

so seriously as to refuse precedence

to Queen Victoria's husband. Ia con

sequence his imperial nephew did not

invite him to the fete given in compliment to her late Britannic majesty when she visited Paris during Its first universal exhibition. Lord Byron's old flame, the countess of Gulcocioll, whom Paris knew as the Marquise de Bolssy, used to direct for some year 3 his little court when he was en villeglature there. She had still pretensions to beauty, and thought she owed to Mrs. Grundy the duty of taking with her the extremely lively marquis, her husband. It pleased him to be the merry-andrew of the chateau, as he was of the senate, and he had no objection to King Jerome, after an Interval of nearly thirty years and many adventures on the lady's side, taking the place that Byron had filled. His former majesty remained what he had been at Caasel gracious, polite to the ladle, and apt to lose his heart ia a flirtation with no matter whom. He had at Vlllegenls bis marshal's salary of 30,000 franca a year, his senator's salary, and his dotation as imperial prince and last survllng brother of Napoleon. It brought him 2,000,000 franca annually, and he had free of all rent and taxes the royal chateau and home park of Meudon and the residential part of the Palais Royal, both sumptuously furnished. That marshal's baton gave him a right to two saddle horse3 for himself, four for his equerry and aid, and to two carriages and the horses they required. The only legal Prince Napoleon, who had also rooms at the Palais Royal, received a dotation of 500,000 francs, but bullied the ex-king into giving him-200,000 francs in addition.

A Marchese Bartholone had, as a wife in the eyes of the church and the Italian law then existing, lazily ruled Jerome before the De Bolssys came In and ousted her. They had been helped In thflr wirkfr1 lntr!sm r ir hor

Napoleon for reasons it would now

take too long to explain. , The other sons were Patterson Bonaparte, father of Lawyer Bonaparte, of Baltimore; Count Camara Camarata, and the most able man of the Bonapartist side, Billault, who, to the great grief and loss of the emperor, died about a year after Jerome.

It accentuated his desolate feeling as he noticed this place and that aspect which she had laughingly commented upon la those happy days which cow seemed so far away and which did not seem likely to be renewed. He loved all these objects for her sake; why, the very sun, now sinking below the western horizon in an effulgence of pink end mauve and crimson lovelines3, was dear to him; had she not enjoyed a similar sunset in the days gone by? And he was to find out that she was enjoylns thl3 on also, for looking up he saw her lissom form in a punt and the odious Manners lazily punting. The river was running quickly, the weir was a little to the left, and notice boards warned the boaters away from the particular tributary which led to it. Manners punted on; he cared little "or weirs. Mary never felt so mischievous as at that moment espying Curtis ?he said something wheh caused tho punter to laugh boisterously, with the result that he lost his grip of the pole and was thrown iato the water, where

he floundered bewildered. The punt was now left to the current; gradually the craft was driven to the stream of the weir. Mary laughed a little at the wet aad bedraggled Manners, who struggled to the opposite bank, but she soon became alarmed, for the boat acquired a rapid momentum. She must do something; she rose unsteadily, end the craft swung, nearly upsetting. Curtis, who had seen everything, forgot the past remembered only that the girl he lovej was in danger. It was a sltoatica which demanded dealing with at once if the punt and its occupant were not to be hurled over the weir. 'Try to guide it to the bank," ha shouted, meaning the girl to use the other punt pole. But Mary was now too frightened to hear, much less to do anything. The weir hissed and lo&mei, &n the notse struck terror to her; she shut her eyes and waited tor the end. Tie r ..-r cf f 3 w ' r c- e ceirer ar 1 : r r 3 ; l , 5 j til

Hutralet of Harvey Blreh of Coo per 'a "Spr" and Of Her Charmcter. In the early part of the last century Semers village, or Somerstown Plain as it was then called, where the two roa's to the Hudson river branched off, one to Sing Sing and the other to Feekskill, was a busy place, with three hotels, thrpe stores, a newspaper, the Bomers' museum, hat eWpa and other industries., says a writer In the Westchester -County Magazine. Hackaliah Bailey built and conducted the Elephant hotel, a substantial three-story brick structure, which la in good repair to-day. In front of It sta.ri.is a rranlto Khaft nn th ton nf

which is a model of the first elephant brought to this country, "Old Bet." Mr. Bailey bought the elephant of his brother, who was the csptala of a sailing vessel. Securing a partner, he put them on the road, traveling from place to place at night and showing in barns in the daytime. Not hearing from them in some time, Mr. Bailey started on horseback to look them up. Finding the elephant and man near Boston, and asking for an accounting, he was told that the show did not make any money. Then said Mr. Bailey, "I will shoot my half and you can do what you like with your half." From this email beginning the menagerie business grew to large proportions under the management of the Cranes, Baileys, Junes, Angevenes and Tltuses, all residents of Soraers or South Salem. The long barn on the Gerard Crane farm was built to house the animals in winter. Enoch Crosby, the Harvey Birch of Cooper 'a. "Spy," married a widow near Somers village.'"

The turnpike from Sing Sing to Sodom Four Corners passing throvga the village was the route of the rumbling stags coach and the farmers" wagons with their produce. The toil gates were unpopular and frequently destroyed, probably for a cc'jjs' deration. Finally Luther was ':rTi..'sned In court, and the indictment icvt cbarglng hira with cutting down the turnpike gate. He answered: "Not guilty. I did not touch the gate; I only rawed cS the post the gate wes hung on," and walked out of court. At-another time a noted criminal lawyer asked him what made his face so black.

There are many cases to prove this. I know of one man who until a year or two ago owned a profitable little fruit shop in a side street far downtown. One night, having locked up the shoD and being ready to start

home, he found himself by accident without money to pay his carfare. He stopped a man on the street and asked him for 5 cents. He got it so easily that he determined next day to tell the story often and get many nickels. He did so and the practice became so remunerative that despite his wife's pleadings and protests he sold the little shop and became a regular beggar."

And the artist grew rich, for when investigated by the police he was found to be the owner of many houses in Hoboken. Again, could there be anything more likely to excite compassion than the crust-throwing trick? It was Invented by a German beggar named Lang, whose French disciple, Lemalre, practiced It subsequently. I have seen a crust-thrower operating In 6th avenue.

It was before the time of this investigation. He was a semi-well-dressed man whowalked swiftly down through the crowds of shoppers. Suddenly he uttered a horse cry and darted out into the roadway, where, pouncing upon a crust of bread, which he had thrown there previously, he began gnawing it ravenously. He did not wait for sympathy. He walked rapidly away, but a number of women who saw the act ran after him and crowd

Dlrwt Coataet a Marked F'estare of

Oxford Vatverattr Education.

Another Important person to the

student at Oxford is the tutor, W. W. Boyd says in a London letter to the

St. Louis Times. The teaching function is performed by two classes cf people; by the professors and readers, who teach in the name and with the authority of the whole university, and

by the tutors and lecturers, who are

appointed and paid by the colleges.

Until quite recent years all the

teaching of a student was done within

the walla of his own college. Now all the colleges combine for their public

teaching and honor examinations and

an undergraduate of one is admitted

to the lectures of all. But there is this striking difference between Ox

ford and an American university. In America, as in Germany, the univer

sity itself Is the teaching body and its professors are In each of the various faculties; so that a student's at

tendance at lectures is taken into ac

count with his examinations. He can

not shirk the lectures and then present himself for an examination only.

But in Oxford, so far as obtaining

a degree is concerned, a man need not

have attended a single lecture. All

his work for the examination may be

dona under the supervision of his tutor. And the fact is that at Oxford professors and readers are popular.

Just In the proportion that their lec

tures bear upon the subjects of the public examinations and tend to prepare the listener for them. At most colleg&s at Oxford the un-

It was the morning hour In a European eircu3 one of the permanent circuses, where performances are conducted all the year round under a roof Instead of under the traveling canvas doine with which American clrcusgoers ire familiar. In the ring a horse trainer was teaching a young horse some new tricks, but what most interested the American newspaper man who had made the trainer's acquaintance was the activity of a big white bulldog. As the horse ran round the ring, the dog kept Just In front of It, dexterously avoiding the horse's hoofs, and evidently feeling that its assistance was a great help to Its master. "Your dog seem 3 to like this sort Df thing as much as you do," remarked the visitor, when - the horse had been led away and the trainer had leisure Tor conversation. "Beppo? Ah, yes. .
