He must have been on a terrible tear.” Both men, as it happened, had busi- | ness at the Grand Pacific hotel and | went directly there from the train, | They were met by a mutual friend who had a copy of the Chicago Trib- | une in his hand, “Hello,” he greeted them. “Did you ‘lmn\\' that Charlie M. is dead? Here is ! a notice in the paper, stating that his body is at the morgue. He was killed in a saloon fight. The paper hasn't got the name quite right, but from the description it's Charlie sure enough.” “But he can't be dead,” said Dr. Entwhistle aghast, “for it was only a few minutes ago that 1 met him on the street in Englewood.” Nevertheless, it turned out that Charlie M. was dead, and that his body had been taken to the morgne sev- ral - hours before Dr. Entwhistle thought he saw him in the Chicago fsuburh, | Of a somewhat diffierent order, but | aven more remarkable is an experi- jence reported by an Englishwoman | whose name, for reasons that will be- | rome obvious, it would be improper to jgive, With her hushand she had re- [ zently moved into a fine old mansion -urmundvd by a charming park, with a broad stretch of lawn between the |trecs and the house.

It was only Fifty-ninth strect and when the chauffeur returned | ers that he could not take him no far- ther Jimmy swore softly under his breath, “Great Scott, man!

No! The thing was impossible! He simply must have a taxi. In desperation Jimmy put his head out the window and hailed the first machine that passed. 1t was a great limousine and it came to a stop be- side the taxi. *I'll give you a fiver if you take me up to Seventy-cighth street,” Jimmy promised the chauffeur, “Jump in quick!" came the ready response, Rogers lost no time. Within the luxurious car Jimmy stretched his long legs and sniffed the scented air. “My lady’s limousine,” thought Rog- ers and glanced at the fur-lined car- riage slippers on the floor. Suddenly an idea struck Jimmy, Why not show a little appreciation for the timely use of her car? He would leave one great American Beauty in the vase by the mirror. The rose was scearcely in its place before the machine came to a stop. Jinmmy sprang out lightly and for the chauffeur's sake, quickly. “Here you are, old man,” he gave the wan hix money; “you've done me a good serviee,” “Mum's the word,” grinned the chauitour, and went swiftly off to call for his mistress at the opera, If Amy Wade counted only eleven American Beauties in the box Jimmy gave her she did not mention the fact, “We thought you were lost,’ she told him later, when he entered the draw- ing room. “I hope nothing happened?” D QIOBOPOLOEIBR DD NOTICt:’ .

Tiptoeing over to a window on the staircase landing she ralsed the blind and cautiously peered out. Below, on the lawn, in the pale glow of the moon, she saw an amazing scene. A midle aged man, stern of face and wearing a general’'s uniform, was standing menacingly over a young girl who, with hands clasped in anguish was on her knees before him. At the sight of his hard, unrelenting | expression, Mrs. M.'s one thought was not of fear for herself, but of pity for the unfortunate girl, “Without a moment's hesitation,” | she gays, “I ran down the staircase | to the door opening upon the lawn to beg her to come in and tell me her | sorrow.” i \When ehe reached the door the fig- fures of the soldier and the girl were etill plainly vicible on the lawn, and in precicely the same attitude, Bt at the gound of her voice they disap- pearcd Months afterwarde, when ealling with her hushand at a neighboring hotize, she noticed on the wall the por trait of a distinguished looking man in | a military uniform. At once she rw--' ized it. “That,” she told her husband in an undertone, “is a picture of the officer I saw on the lawn.” Alond she asked: “Whose portrait is that?” “Why,” replied her host, “it is a , portrait of my uncle, Gen. Sir X. Y. !He was born and died in the honse | that you now occupy. But why do you ask?” | When she had told the story, her host explained: “What yon say is most singular. For ogn | .| ous little laugh and glanced down at | ing with great expectancy for her an- laughed Jimmy, “Well see that you don't lose your heart to any of the pretty lowa girls tonight and break that.” Dick Wade added: “There’ll be a bunch of them there.” “Wade did not exaggerate,” decided Jimmy, when an hour later his eyes traveled from one beautiful face to an- other. Blondes, brunettes and even titlancrowned heads were there among that throng of the lowa soclety. Mrs. Wade was approaching him, and with her was a vision in yellow, At least Jimmy thought she was a vision until he found that he was hold- ing a very warm tingling hand within his own. “l have told you all about Jimmy Rogers, Faith, 8o be good to hlm~he is all alone in this bhig city.,” Amy Viade east a langhing glance at her | two friends and went in scarch of her | hushand.
