Smith was a very good fellow, but he had a weak point, and the undue prominence of this weak point at all places and under all circumstances caused him to be looked upon as an insufferable bore. “Smith’s hobby was Roman England. Now, had it been anything elso—say Potures, or orchids, or old china, or curios —1 should not have been so unsympathe- tic, but as I was never of a very romantic disposition, having been brought up from an early age in that most prosaic and un- sentimental of worlds, the city, Smith's tnterminable jargon about Roman En- gland at times even overcame my pa- tience. ‘At last it was intolerable. No matter what topics of absorbing public_iaterest were in the papers, no matter how seri- ously I wanted to talk with him upon business affairs, Roman England asserted itself, and my weakness in showing my- self a patient listener only served to fan his flame. So I missed one day at lunch, I missed two, and when I met Smith in the strects as 1 was suro to do atter these absences, I had to fabricate an excuse and make a promise to be at the usual place the next day,and when the next day came it may be imagined how I had to bend beneath a concentration of the bore which should have been flung upon me at the meals I had missed. At length I resolved to cut him altogether and sneaked up and down byways and alleys, for fear of meeting him, like a felon. “I saw no more of him for quite a year. One day, however, in the month ot July I met him. ‘“‘Why, Jones, old fellow!' he ex- claimed, shaking my hand heartily, ‘I made sure that you were dead, or that Kou had retired upon your fortune, for I ear your firm has been making tremend ous strides lately. Now, old fellow, for the sake of auld lang syne, take pity on me; I'm a lonely bachelor, as the wife and daughter have gone to the seaside. Come and dine with me, and I'll put you up for the night—change my address, you see. B ““But the awful vision of mzwy" hours in Roman England steed Defore my eyes in its o]d herrible shape; and I told him —and I hope as an act of self-defense that it has been pardoned me—that I was going to start the next day for my holiday. “‘Later on, however, I did go for my holiday. 1 had been very hard worked during the past year, and I felt in need of genume rest and recreation, that rest and recreation which are denied those who employ their annual breathing space in hurrying and scurrying over countries and towns at lightning pace, and whose time is ocoupied in packing and unpack- ing, in catching steamers and trains, in uq\lxlnbbling with landlordsand paying long ills, “I found what I needed at Boulogne, where I had as much gayety or solitude a8 I chose, the finest of air,and was within easy hail of business; and very thorough- ly I enjoyed myself. Time sped by very pleasantly. *‘Everybody knows that bathing at Boulogne in our Englishman’s sense of the word is dangerous. That is to say, there is a nasty undertow out about in a line with the sand-bar at the jetty head, which has proved fatal to many a strong swim- mer, and strong swimming therefore is almost out uf the question, although the patrons of the bob-up and-down-stand.1n- a-circle style of bathing are as safe here as anywhere else. *‘He whothinks to have a good breather against the dancing, crested waves is de- ceived, as the notes of the guardian’s tin horn warn him directly he starts out- ward, I was walking on the jetty ome fine bright morning atter my bath, thinking of nothing in particular,” unless it were the lobster and cutlet panee breakfast await- ing me in the restaurant de la Jetee, when I heard the sweetest of voices almost, in my ear: “Well, mamma, it's time to bathe, so come along."” I naturally turned round and beheld one of the fairest, freshest specimens of Eoglish girlhood that I had ever imagin- ed or seen depicted on canvas, She was dreased in a light dress of pink something or other which set off her supple, rounded figure to very best, and & Ilinols, Wisconsin, Minnosots, Iowa 5 sié horass, 8 4 P, nd a4 ta main lines,’ branches and connoe N:hm:‘i(n'] “{}“‘13 car horses, 20 head, St. Paul, ch all the great businoss contros of the i b Norshwent and.

Other topics had been adumbrated, and I rejoiced to think that I had found a crutch to sup- plement the somewhat feeble and precari- ous staff of The London Scotsman, I looked in at the office to bespeak the same arrangement in regard to sending round for copy as had been in force the previous day. 1 was shown up to Mr. Robinson. ‘‘You've come for your check, 1 suppose,” said he, as it seemed to me a little shortly. “No,” I explained. “I have arranged with the acting ed tor to furnish some further contri- butions, and by his directions I have called to ask you to have a boy call round for copy in the same way as yesterday.” T think not,” said Robinson, with what struck me as an intentionally aggravating drawl. -“I don’t think we will trouble you to write those contributions you speak of. I will explain the matter to Mr. Pigott.” I don’t quite know what I did say; I know I lost my temper ve- hemently, and I believe I used strong language. I think I said something about having believed in editorial omnipotence, and my inability to understand this business of one man blowing hot and another blowing cold. Anyhow, I was mnot going to stand being made a fool of in this off-hand easy style and 1'd take good care I didn’t darken the doors of The Daily News any more, And with that, the perfervidum ingenium of my northern nationality be- ing all ablaze, I removed myself abruptly from tte presence and swore my way down stairs into the streei. ‘“Hore, come back!” Robinson had shouted after me, “I want to speak to you!” I fear that if he had acted on the strict letter of the brief retort I threw over my shoulder he would have had no occasion to give any subsequent orders to his coal merchant.

So I dined with them at their hotel and went about with them as if we were acquaintances of many years' standing. the Stane street to London, but with a boaming face presented mysolf at Mrs, Mountjoy's apartments, ‘Fureka!

I had scarcely passed through the lodge gates when I heard a well-known and be- loved voice exclaim: *: ‘Here ho is, papa! hero he is!” ani Enid, 2\l radiant with health and beauty, appeared in company with—whom do you think?” “‘Smith the bore?” I hazarded. “Right you are,” said Jones. ‘‘And you may imagine what a laugh we had I think Mrs. Mountjoy must have made some inquiries about me before permit- ting this intercourse, for she was one cf those proud, haughty women who do not even deem the saving of a daughter's life an excuse for stooping to gush and extra gratitude, and I remember the smallest perceptible curl in her lips when my name was announced as plain Jones. She was very severe on the plain ‘snops’ and harmless_ holiday folk, and people who dined early and who did not dress according to the Parisan fashion sheets; she was brimful of society and society's doings, and knew more about ‘dear duchesses’ and ‘charming lords’ than any woman I ever met with who condescend- ed to spend a summer holiday at such a plebeian watering place as Boulogne. ‘“However, we goton very well to- gether.

She suffered from acrostics on the brain. Every week a pile of papers arrived from England— society papers which Mrs. Mountjoy de- voured for their fashionable news, and Enid tor their acrostics, and her excite- ment every week as the correct solvers appeared was amusing to me, who had hitherto wegarded acrostics as simple pus- zles for young folk. But whenI was introduced to the formidable array of reference books, qun- tation books, gazetteers, geographical, biographical and other dictionaries, when I often found Enid with a severe frown seated at a table littered with papers, I began to think that, after all, there must be something in them. “One evening after said: “Oh, I would give anything to find ont this light! It's the last acrostic of the quarter and prize, and [ do so0 want to beat ‘Mrs. Mums’ and ‘Nil Desperandum,’ who are old solvers and are always winning prizes, Do look at it, Mr, Jones, and see if you cen mako anything out of it.” 41 took up the paper nnd looked at the acrostic as if 1t were a Telogu poem or a rative edition of the Koran, and I read out: dinner she “Anciant rame of Knglish town, Somothing very near a crown,” “*You see,’ said Enid, ‘the sides are radical members, 8o that this fight must begin with R and end with I've done all the rest, but this beats me.'” *I murmured the lines about a score of times with a profound air, but the more I thought the further was 1 from solving their meaning, *A sudden idea struck me.
