On the day following his arrival he dized alone at a military club, He shook hands with a few old com- rades, and received thelr warm con- Bratulations; but as one and all had . some engagement for the evening, he found himself left entirely to bis} own resources. He was in dress, for he had entertained the notion of vis- iting @ theatre. But the great city was new to him; be had gone from @ provincial school to a military col- lege, and thence direct to the East- ern Empire; and he promised him- self a varity of delights in this world for exploration. Swinging his cane, he took his way westward, It was a@ mild evening, already dark, and how and thea threatening rain, The succession of faces in tho lamplight stirred the Lieutenant's imagination, and it seemed to him as if he could walk forever in that stimulating city atmosphere and surrounded by the mystery of four million private lives, He glanced at the houses and mar- yelled what was passing behind those warmly-lighted windows; he looked into face after face and saw them each intent upon some un- known interest, criminal or kindly, “They talk of war,” he thought, “but thi mankind," And then he began to wonder that ho should walk so long in this com- plicated scene and not chance upon so much a8 the shadow of an adven- ture for himself, “AIL in good time,” ho reflected, “Lam stil @ stranger, and perbaps But I must be wear a strange alr, drawn into the eddy before long.” ‘Tho night was already well ad- vanced When a plump of cold rain fell suddenly out of the darkness, Brack- enbury paused under some trees, and as ho did so, he caught sight of a hansom cabman making him @ sign he The cire cumstance fell in so happily to the that was disengaged ovcasion that he at once raised his | cang in answer, and had soon en- sconced himself in the London gon- dola, “Where to, sir?’ asked the driver, Whi bury, And immediately, at @ pace of sur- pris.ng swiftness, the bausom drove vi through the rain into a maze of villas, One villa was so like another, each with Its front garden, and there was so little to distinguish the de- serted laimplit streets and crescent, © you please,” sald Bracken- he Evenin | guished himself in one of the lesser Indian hill wars, js the great battlefield of World Daily Magazine, DON'T You SPE: To Your, waenos / { if | (awyAone 2 KNOW IT Ww. ‘You - THOSE Big Mars j HIDE THE FACE SO HucH Friday, June \ HELLO HRS Jace } !

At the court of Athelstan he was for a time a favorite, but at length his tricks of “parlor magic,” in which he was an adept, resulted in his being driven from Court, and Great indignities were heaped upon him in the belief that he was a wiz- ard who had sold his soul to the devil. He was madly in love with a@ fair maiden at the Court, and his heart was broken by the enforced separa- ton, The young man sought refuge with his uncle, Etphege tho ‘Bald, Bishop of Winchester, and was induced to enter the service of the church as @ monk. Finding that the monastic garb ef- fected no immediate change in his character, Dunstan determined to subject his body to the stern regimen of an anchorite, He set up a forge in @ little roadside cell, and tolled early and late as a blacksmith. In spite of toll and fasting, the old worldly de- sires tormented him. On one occasion the devil visited Dunstan's forge and demanded that the pious smith put a |shoe on his cloven hoof. Dunstan made the process very painful and would not release his visitor until Satan had promised that he would | never enter | horseshoo nailed over the door. Ever since then the bellef has been preva- lont that the horseshoe !s a magic charm against t evil One, ‘ ; {Blood Circulation | HE first to discover and demon- dk strate the culation of the blood was William Harvey, an Englishman, who died in London 259 years ago.

The entire transaction consumed not over @ couple of minutes. “ ‘Now, the speed of that sale re- sulted from the buying by sample I reflected as I walked down the stree! ‘If 1 could rush customers throug! my department at @ two-minute rate my clerks could handle ten times the business that they now do. I wonder ff I can't apply that eamples idea to my stock?’ “It was with a critical eye that I studied the arrangement of materials when I returned to the store, The laces were wound upon cardboard and ecattewed about upon the coun- ters or shelves in a rather confused fashion, Contrasted with the neat glass caso of sample collars all was chaos, Time was consumed in in- specting, not samples, but the etock itself, Every sale meant, perhaps, ten minutes of pulling down, unwinding, displaying, wrapping and re-shelving bolts of laces, And even then the customer had not really had access to the entire stock. She may have purchased a pattern as a compromise the epesd which convinced him of the contrary. The .an had an object in view, he was hastening toward a Gefinite end, and Brackenbury was at once astonished at the fellow's #kill in picking a way through such @ labyrinth, and a Httle concerned to imagine what was tue occasion of Dollars and Sense By H.

The house was bril- Nantly Mghted up. Another hansom had just driven away, and Bracken- bury could eee a gentioman being ad- mitted at the front door and re- colved by several liveried servants. Hoe was surprised that the cabman should have stopped so immediately in front of a house where a reception was being held, but he did not doubt it was the remult of accident, and sat placidly smoking where he was, until he heard the trap thrown open over his head, “Horo we are, str," said the driver. “Here!" repeated Brackenbury. “Where?” “You told me to take you where I Pleased, air,” returned the man, with a chuckle, “and here we are.” It struck Brackenbury that the voice was wondorfully smooth and courteous for a man in so inferlor a position; he remembered the speed at which he had been driven, and now it occurred to him that the han- som was more luxuriously appointed than the common run of public con- veyances. “I must ask you to explain,” said he. “Do you mean to turn me out into the rain? My good man, I eus- pect the choice ts mina” “The choice ts certainly yours," replied the driver, “but when I tell you all I belleve I know how a gen- tleman of your figure will decide Thore 1s a gentleman's party in this house.

The easy elegance of his manners, the distinction, amlability and courage that appeared upon his features fitted very tll with the eh dete precon- ceptions on the subfec® of the pro- prietor of a hell, and the tone of his conversation seemed to mark him out for @ man of position and merit. Brackenbury found he had an Instine- tive liking for his entertainer, and though he chid himself for his weak- neas ho was unable to resist @ sort of friendly attraction for Mr, Morris's person and character, “I have heard of you, Lieut, Rich,” said Mr. Morris, lowering his tone, “and believe me, 1 am gratified to make your acquaintance, Your looks accord with the reputation that has preceded you from India, And if you will forget for awhile the irregular- ity of your presentation in my house, I shall feel it not only an honor, but @ genuine pleasure besides.
