Mrs. Frank Grey ran down the walk to the garden gate of her pretty new house to meet her husband, on hi» return from his office. It was not long after a gay little weslding. which had turned Elsie Whitford < ipto Elsie Grey, and made two young people supremely happy. “Frank, darling!" was the young wife's glad greeting; "what do you think 1 have found to-day?’ "'Another lost baby?" “No, Indeed; but a real live—veiry much alive-tinde, Frank." "You are joking?" "1 never was more serious. He came all the way from England on purpose to sec me. and I don't like him one little bit. Frank. Ido absolutely believe the horrid man was going to kiss me!" "Shows he has good taste, at any rate, la he the corporal's brother?" : “Why, don't you know the"Whitfords are not m/ real father and mother, . Frank?" ' Frank stared in amazement. , 5 “And you were not Elsie Whitford?* “Kot myself at all, you stupid dear, butttappears my mother died in,my infancy and 1 was Mt to the care of Uncle Jacob Gregson, the gentleman who called here today, who put me in •barge of Mrs. Whitford, paying her large rams for my support." “Where is your uncle?" . “At the Tifft house. I promised that you would go up to the hotel this evening nod cell on him." , "So 1 will ■" < • .“Don't be prejud&ed<Jrank. but I fear be is not a bit si«h&" "Bough. <hf

•Tfa, but, oh. ao Intensely vulgar—however, you must form your own eon- ' elusions." i And Frank's conclusions were the sameas Elsie’a He had not been in Mr. Gregson five minutes before he mentally declared him to be the » ujost insufferable cad he liad ever met, and only to be tolerated for Elsie's sake. "So you're the chap that's caught the , .golden pigeon—rather a bit of a prig, 1 expect, but might be worse," was the courteous greeting of the showy stranger. “You are very candid," Frank smiled. . “Candid! Jacob Gregson's truth Itself. Just ring that bell by your hand and let us have a nip of brandy, for talk in's dry work." “Not fefr me." "Well, I thought you were a prig. ‘ Do you smoke?" ’ ' " With pleasure. Thank you." He took one of Gregson’s cigars, though he distrusted it. "Well, that's something m your far vor. Now, sec here, young man. I've come acrons the raging ocean—which, by Georgi'! I hate with all my soul—to see your wife on most Important busi-• ness, but now she's married. According to English law she's nobody, an’ you, her husband, are everybody; consequently, I'm driven to open matters to you." ■ "You'll find tpe keenly alive to my wife's interest*." . , ■ ' 1 ; *“Devil doubt you; but I want to find you alive to mine, too." 1 “To yours?" ' "Yes. the game lies in my hands. Here’s a young woman entitled to a large fortune; here’s a young man marries her; here’s an enterprising uncle—a kind, good uncle, on whose bosom she lay an innocent babe, whose ducats have for years supported her. Now the kind uncle says to. the nice yoiyjg man, says he: “You can never ' learu one word of your wife's fortune 1 without my aid.’ An’/llic young manpaused, and, with a drunken leer, winked expressively at Grey—"what do you think the young man ' «y» ? " Frank smiled. "The young man," he declared, "saya ■ he would deal very liberally with the 1 kind uncleF • >lH>ken like a brick! Tip us yer flipper, old chap. You're the right sort 1 ! after all." _ ‘ 1 "Well, what does the kind uncle pro- | pose to do?" ' “He means to give that nice young man a cool fifty thousand dollar* a year." Grey started with incredulous wonderment. 1 "Impossible." was all he could ejacu1 late. “Why. man. you must I>e dreaming."*' He did not say drunk, though he thought it. , “I know that 'ud take the starch out of you, but it's gospel. truth —ah, you didn't think you'd gone in for such big stakes, when you married the little gal, di<l yer?” "If Elsie had never a cent —" “Oh, yea, 1 know all about that bosh. I You*rc in your calf love now, an' life's ‘ all molasses ah’ moonshine. She’ll be all the sweeter for golden trimmin’s, you bet yer life." . Grey felt a strong inclination to kick his wife’s irrepressible relative. 1 Gregson drew from his pocket a legally prepared contract; securing to > • himself liberal compensation in cas? of Frank Grey’s accession to the unnamed fortunc>nd cried exultingly: "Sign’ that d<x.’Ument, my boy, an’ the estate lay ours." Grv-y signcd like one in a dream. “Far away in England lives an old bloke,’’ Mr. Gregson began, with a sentimental tone and expression, "named i Sir Gonlon Hillborough, who had one child. Richard, who was rather a wild young cuas. When this youth was still young An’ green he secretly married my niece, a young country girl of seventeen." ; . "Elsie's mother!" Grey interpolated. “How glad she will be to hear about her." . “She died—was killed by a railroad train, before Elsie was six weeks old." “How shocking! 1 hate to tell her anything to sad." Gregson ignored ttfe Interruption ‘ and continued his story: “Os course the lad kept his marriage •ecreA" “W*y of course?". "Oh! you don't understand such things in this country, where Jack » aa ii ■ Lft/ IP IE x. --T-* UvJ r ( "awx THAT XmCVMaMT." : good aa his master—*he was beneath • him -that's aIL" ’ “In rank?" "Exactly, Now. very soon after the .marriage they separated. He went into the army. She stayed with me. Then the baby was born and she died, and young Hillborough married again, and went with his wife to India-" “leaving Elsie?" J “Pshaw!' He knew nothing about > I her—didn’t know of her existence." “Well?" > “Well, the whole story was sprung ' oh the old gent." “By whom?" "By me, if you must know; but I i shall never get through my story, if , you ask so many question*." ’ "Well, goon." * "And it was agreed that the child ’ should be suppressed." “SuppjSrssed!" "Yes, shipped abroad under another r ftamc.** i “And that child is—" i “Your wife as sure as shootin’!" “And her father went to India and raised a second family—" “He didn't.

“I’ll be hanged if I could, for the lib tie minx has kept herself as close as a weasel. The Whitfords played it on me, too, an’ I never got her address till two days ago.” “How can we prove Elsie’s identity?" asked Grey cautiously. “I've got them fixed to perfection; testimony, birthmarks, everything—you leave that part of the business to me.” “And hare yob any proofs to give me of the truthfulness of your story?" "Lord, what a lad you are for proofs! One would think you were drynuraed by a lawyer. Well, dollars talk, don't they; loud and clear; and there's no misunderstandin" them. See: 111 go straight to England, an’ before three weeks have j»assed—if I ever get alive across that cussed sea —Sir Gordon shall cable you expenses to bring your wife to England." Late as it was, when Frank reached home, a council of war was called, for as luck would have it, Mr. and Mrs. Woodgrove had stepped across the street to spend the evening with the young wife, vnd they sat enthralled, while he related the romantic story of Elsie’s birth and parentage. And when he had done, their tongues did wag! .■ "I’m not a bit surprised," asserted Mrs. Woodgrove. "I always looked on Elsie as a disguised princess.” "Turns out to be a swan when we all thought her a barnyard duckling," Frank laughed. , “Come here, you serene highness," the old gentleman demanded, "and graciously give me a kiss. Perhaps when you arc ruling in your ancestral mansion, surrounded by your gorgeous flunkies, you may be above gratifying the whims of an old lumber merchant." "Wherever 1 am, whatever I am," Elsie cried, her arm wound lovingly round his neck, “I shall never forget all I owe to you and—” she paused to grasp his wife's hand—"my dear, dear mother!" CHAPTER XXI A XOBLK CQVNT. "News, news, news! AVhat will you give tne to tell you the most wonderful piece of news you ever heard?” Mr Wood'grove asked at breakfast one morning. Now, though the young people had a house of their own across the way, they .took their meals in the Woodgrove mansion, and consequently were present at this exciting moment. "Good or bad?" Mrs. Woodgrove asked. "Good, royal, grand.” , “Os whom?" demanded Elsie. “Os a friend of yours, my dear." “Oh. do tell; I am burning to know it." “Then hold your tongue, love,” Mrs. Wood grove said, laughing, ‘.‘for Marcus could not keep a secret for five consecutive minutes." "Well,” remarked the old man, “I may as well paralyze you at once—Mrs. Clarence Grind lay is going to be married." “Oh, Marcus, at her time of life!" "Yes, and what’s the worst of it —I mean the best of it —is that she is going to wed a German baron." “Not Count Voil Thun?” Elsie asked. “Oh, I did not. like him.” "Did you not, darling? Well, it’s all ; settled, so it's no use crying over spilled milk. Now, here's where we cotne in. Marion, is going to give a ball on Wednesday evening to exhibit her lordly captive, arid we are biddeh guests—now, who will go?" "Not-1." Mrs. Woodgrove said, decisively, ‘ but I should like Frank to take Elsie, and you, Marcus, must accompany them out of respect to Marion." ' Perhaps In no city of the world can such unbounded, reckless extravagance be witnessed as in New York, the capital of the land of republican simplicity. Ostentation and rank seem more naturally associated, but. bless yonr life, when John Smith, who never had a recognized grandfather, has “made his pile” he knows how to lord S with the' best of them. The G rindlay mansion on the night of the ball outrivaled Aladdin's palace. The flowers for decoration cost five thousand dollars: gorgeous servants—twenty years ago one saw no liveries in the Eifipire city brilliant in plush and tinsel, flitted like plumed birds amid a tropical blaze of gold and purple. In the center of the spacious hall a fountain was erected a lovely marble i basin, from whose depths naiads blew forth jets of eau-de-cologne or rosewater, while from the drooping*? bellshaped flowers «of a group of astras hung dainty petals tipped with tiny electric lights. Rooms hung with rich draperies, floors covered with carpets from the looms of . Turkey, soft and irresponsive to the tread of the foot; Ceilings hand-painted and glowing in rich color; fantastic tables and chairs of quaint device; costly inlaid cabinets; rich Vases; priceless china—it was like a vision of fairyland, only, after all, as sensible Marcus Woodgrove observed, it wa* the fairyland of the stage—one could not help expecting to see Harlequin plunge through an old "family picture" (!) or Columbine pirouetting on the polished floor. .c . . No man In his senses would dare s description of the fair owner of these delights. She was radiant as a dream, for Worth had out-Worthed himself for the occasion; yet, as one gazed at tha diamonds, sparkling likedew dropsover skirt and bodi?e. one couldn't help . wondering how . much she would fetch at auction if sold just as she stood. , Baron Von Thun must be a proud man this night to-survey these counties* signs of untold wealth and say: "Tn seven days all this shall be mine." lv<> ax cost; xran; A Cry lac t'nfalrneaa.

It has rained, snowed or hailed every one of the 19 day* of this month. No seeding of any consequence has been done in any of the three states. m-r is any likely to be done under the most favorable circumstances for the next five days. High wa-. ter is reported in tbe rivers and their tributaries and thousands of acrea of land are so flooded that it may be impossible to-put iti any this season. This is particularly the case in the upper* - Red River valley, where the lend is low and much of it inclined under the most favorable conditions to lie swampy.
