Tlio Dokos used to be invaluable as slaves, aud they wore taken in large numbers.

During the first day alio was very friendly to her follow voyagers, but sonio impertinent questions vexed her, and she became glacial. Johnny MeQuiston declares that ho Felt like kissing the Bhiuy brass plate jn the after stairway, which introluced him to that armful of loveliuoss. There was a nice rolling sea on and <01110 breeze, and Johnny had gone to leek a heavy coat and was deck ward bound when Her Grace, in descending, dipped on the brass and went bang! into Johnny's arms. It was no joko to prevent that tall young woman rotn coming to grief, and Johnny jrasped and clinched his teeth hard is behold manfully to the railing with lis loft arm and hugged his real live Duchess with his right. She thanked him prettily for his lid, and nodded a'Vably when she :anie on dock and met him at tho lompanionway door, where I10 was vaitiug for nothing in particular if it vas not for that nod.

' It was the mnnuor Johnny sang J lyrnuH, however, which cemented the .cquaintance, and even opened tho 1 loors to friendship. Ho used to think ?f tho farmhouse and his mother when io sang "Abide with Me" and the dher familiar music, and it came out n tho look in his eyes'and his oarnest nauner?and besides, his voice was ,s clear and sweet as his mother's neniory. He had a dashing way of inging the new comic opero hits or 1 nusie hall ballads, but a diguity setled upon him when ho sang a hymn 1 hat affected tho Duchess even moro han it did other people. For a oung woman of society she was unisually religion0, anil tho blood of tho hampions of John Knox tiugledwithn her now and then. "You forget all about me when you re singing sacred songs," said the luehess, approvingly. "Ami I like t, ' she added, looking at him fraukly nth great gray eyes. "I am generally thinking of my notlier ?and she is no: with me any nore," replied Johnny, sturdily. "You could sing yourself into fame, dare say," she said, graciously. "I did sing inyself into a trip to Eu:ope," ho says, laughing and ilushing. -"In concerts?" and she seemed a _4ji? ,i: i i mu u IM:UH > tin. "Ob, no !* lie Answered.

I'll tell on ftbont it as we walk and they eft the audience in the ladies' cabin | o gossip about the flirtation in pro- . ;ress between "that stuck up woman ( k ith a title and that singer fellow," as he man from Illinois put it. "I don't know if I told you T wns a | iew*psper man," began Johnny. "OJj, a pressman !" said she. "Salis?ury used to be one, you know, and ots of our best men write leaders and lungs." | "Well, T don't write leaders," ex i.'.uned Johnny.

I'hcre were very lively days <-n the dock market after that, and I wondered if my money was having any share in it. On Mouday I went to his ^ ; . . - -V <> ' \ office and asked if he was in.' Thel managing clerk SAid he was in Kostou, | aud 1 felt sick. 'You're Mi. Mol^uiston, I believe?' said the clerk. *Yo6, I and Mr. Mortimer told mo t? come here to-day.' 'Hore's a noto for you,' said he, sad he bAuded me a big envelope. '1'leaso give me a receipt.' 1 waited until I was out on the street, and then I opened the package. Thore was my stock, two ohocks and a note which said: 'Inclosed'* yo-i/?vmargia and profits for the sal- ? of the thoughts you awoke in me. M-.nitneiV Ono check was my own lk*t I given him, and which l:o had n~t presented for payment, rne other was $J0<HJ and I took a holiday and here 1 am. "Oh, that was jolly in him, wasn't it?" cried tho Duchess, delightedly. "And I'm sure you deserved it. Here is my husband, you must tell him about it, too. This was tho way tho Duke was drawn into it, and a very gonial, earnest young man he proved to be, who seemed to indorse everything his wife did and so indorsed Johnny, whose glory among his companions grew to great proportions thereat. He was perfectly modest pud frank nbont it, and although ho refused point blank to lead no to introductions without an expressod desiro by the Duches*, lie still remained popular. It was on tho eastern voyage that all this occurred, and such smooth seas and serene skies were said to have been rare in their voyaging around the world by His Grace and his wife. By the timo tho Cow and Calf eamo into view one glorious morning about six o'clock Johuuy and his Duchess were "quito pals," as she expressod it, and a bit of slang being rare from Her Grac, it was duly prized by Johnny \s a thing apart and belonging to him. by invitation from the Captain they watched the Irish coast peep up into the water frotn the bridge, and there they stood until Fastuet Lighthouse came out ou tue other side, and tne Duchess said, with a sigh: "Almost hotue agaiu !" They parted at Liverpool, and thero was giveu to Johnny a cordial invitation to come and call at Essox IIouso, the London homo of their Graces, and he was left to wonder if ho should over see them again, but in the excitement of arrivi ig in London, this was soon forgotten in the delight of saying: "And so this is really Piooadilly and that green place ahead is Hyde Park." To bo twenty-six and in Loudon 'or the first time and on comfortable terms with your banker, and not too nuch writing of your name on your ctter of credit, innaut^u.AXi^hnny what t would mean to any henlt^v-mindod, ictivo and well-educated American, in I in a week he felt as though ho iould give the younger Dickens many mints ior a new guido book to the ilnglish capital. His Duchess had become a lovely, ihr.dowy recollection, when one day, n one of the catacombs which bisect heLangham Hotel,he almost collided vith a lady, who causod him to cxilaiin, "The Duchess!" The J^sdy was is much startled as though Johnny tad cried, "Tho devil I" ami ho stamnored some apology. "Gracious! How much she looked ike the Duchess. I wonder who she s?" thought Johnny. "What on earth did that mau moan >y shouting about tho Duchoss?" bought Miss Nellie Thurston, of 'hiladelphia, as sho hurriod to lior ooms. "I'm surohe'sau American ? guess I'll tell auntie." And so it happened that when Johnly went into tho dining room that iveuiug Miss Thurston remarked to he stout lady who sat beside hor, and vlio hail tho dignity of a bishop at couiriuation: "There he is, auntie. That's the nan who said I was some duchess." Mrs. Thurston looked at Johnny mtch as she was in the habit of lookng at hansom cab drivers while makug up her mind to whom she would .rust herself, and she eaid, promptly: 'Very ordinary-looking young man. iI is evening clothes are now, aud ho h not accustomed to them." "That may bo true about the dotheb," murmured Nellie, "but I ;hinR-^J is a gentlemanly fellow, and food looking, too." Uefore >re was time for more r?hnny wailed up to tho small table viiere '.he ladies sat. aud was seatod here because of no room olsowhere, vhereupon Johnny looked annoyed md blushed. Mrs. Thurston was iu a age, aud Miss Nellie was highly unused within, but tranquil without. "I cannot put up with these largo English hotels any longer," said Mrs. L'hnrstou, pointedly, to Nellie. "Wo must go to-morrow and make arraugenentsatsome exclusive family resort." Her niece took on the color which eft Johnny's checks, aud faintly sried : "Oh, auntie, what a thing to say." "I'll try to get a seat somewhere dxp. or iro aw.iv alfcocot.linr. madam." mid Johnny, bravely, and yet humbly. "It wus no fault of mine; the waiter waa to blame." There was ho much mortification in tlie boy's tone that Mrs. Thurston forgot the Episcopal poso and let herself down to a kindly level, and put lohnuy at his ease, to her niece's evident surprise. The next (lay, in one of the room of the National Gallery, Johnny oamo upon the younger lady, who was in undoubted distress. He caught her eye; Htio gave a faint smdo of recognition, an 1 he was beside lior. "Can I do something for you?" ho said in his frank, pleasaut way. "Thank you, I am in rather a mess," sho answered gratefully. "I havo lost auntie. I almost always do loso her in a picture gallery, for I wander about and she sits down in some corner and adores au old master. To-uay it happens she has no purse, aud sho will want me." Thoro was so much relief in Mrs. Thurston s face wh|n they finally found her that Johnny felt encouraged. Mistress Nellie had, in tlio short timo they were together, concluded that ha was much better than he looked, and was not to bfc lightly cast off, in a laud where pleasant and companionable follow-countrym mi were not too plentiful, so sho bravely recalled Johnuy to Mrs. Thurston's memory and he introduced himself. After that matters liurriod themselves. They are apt to do this in hotels aud journeyings aud sauntertugs. Johuny fell into a sort of tr inco, wherein his uucouscioubuess seemed. \ r 1^. j ft4fc>lPfe$Uestious. A? for Mrs. Thurston, oue soon img any doubt as to her own eonol^jaidifr?n^' declared that she indented either to leave for tho contiiKyiA^regardjiess t>f oomfort, or ask Mr. MeQuiHoiVfo conyuue his travels. There was a orioket match on between lit/on and Harrow?one of the uotablov matches of tho year?and Johnny P'VA-hired tho neatest turnout lie oouJonWntl to convey tho trio tc Lord'^jt ouuds. There was some battling" before the elder lady would consent t<>\go, and the youuger finally declared lldat she Would crive Mr. Mc Quistou a li^rt of the browing storm. Thus bribe-.J, Mrs. Thurston sat-in gloomy state'iiutil tJley found a place mnong the carriage* and conches from which to watch the people, for the game wan quite. beyOkftd their grasp. From sueor petrel*ity,"i?nd perhaps from other motire4 * well, Nellie treated Jobacy with au amount of cordiality and a freedom she had never shown before, and eveu allowed her voico to diop into something akin to a whisper vheo Mrs. Thurston, in a polar voice, cju'.aimed. "Nellie, have you told Mr. McQnisfon?" Joluiuy looked up iu surprise^ while guftty Nellie blushed and paled, and finally gapped.' the situation became plain, and her altut's intentions Hashed upon her. She glanced n'ppealingly afc the old 1 idv, aul was {astonished to soo her looking up iTt^^omothing 011 a coaoh which stood next their carriago. "I declare!" exolaimed the aunt at last. "Why, Nellie, thoro is a lady who is the image of you !?only she is a little older. Look !" Johnny followed tho direotion of Mrs. Thurston's glauce and cried: "It's the Duchess!" "Who?" said Mrs. Thurston, iu s shrill whisper. "l'he Duchess of Essex," replied Johnny, excitedly. ".She's awfully nice, and that pale young fellow with tho beard is her husband, tho Duke." "Do you know her?to speak to?" again in a shrill whisper, oxeitod and eager now. "Is that the lady you mistook foi 1110 at tho hotel?" exclaimed Nollio. Dressed in a white costume, simple and yet bewildering, and a little white honuot, with eyes bright and voice merry, tho Duohess looked like one of thoso yoil"iTSsociattJ with at Gainsborough. She answered Mrs. Thuration's question by glancing dowu, and 011 catching a glimpse of Johnny exclaimed: "Why, Ned, here's Mr. McQniston!" and her long, shapely arm descended towards Johuuy, who stood up and looked' as delighted as ho folt. Tho Duchews told Johnny after wards that shfc guessed it all at a glance, and Acted accordingly; and you can depend upon it, ho is willing to swear ta any assertion she makes. ''Help me down, Stanley," she said to tho gentleman next her, anil in an instant she stood beside Johnny on tho sod. "Do 3'ou think it nice in yon not to have come to Essex House at all this time?" she said, reproachfully. "I've been telling some people about j*ou, and they think I'm only giving them travelers' tales, for you never show, you know. May 1 know your frionds?" When Johnny' recovered his wits the Duehessstvart\u tho carriage beside Nellie, telling Mrs. Thurston that she had been struck l>y the likoness Nellie Thurston bore to herself, aud this was followed up by other gracious speeches, climaxing at last by an invitation to call at. Essex House aud a statement that Her Grace would send them ca-'sfor a "little reception ou Wednesday night , to meet tho I'rinccsH lionise of Lome." "Friends of Mr. MeQiiiston's are sure to bo welcome with us, you know," she said, as she i ... . i i ....i....i r..i....... 1 innvtM mi'i nsivtMi iMniuut) uuij' uui up tho ladder to this coach Heat. "Will you coiuo now and siug hymns for mo, sir?" whispered Iior Ciraee, as slio stdpd with .Johnny's hand ifi hers. "Oomo!" ho l>? A'tod out, "I'll go and sing till you A. "dor nin out of tho house." ' Tho Duchess Annulled and murmured: "Is it so bad as that? Well, sho is lovely, and yon aro fortunate. Jiring her mo Saturday morning at 1 L" . "What woro you asking me, nuntio, when the Duohosf^sooko lirst to Mr. Mctjuiston? Yort<Vvanted to know if I had told him Ho^*\thing?" asked Nellie, coolly, as tho^l-ove home through tho pretty stroetsjl^J St. Johu's Wood. "i'msure I donremember, dear," said Mrs. Thursto innooontly. ".Shall I tell Mi. McQuiston to go away before the Duchess's roeoption, auntie?" Nellie askod* that night, as sho stood before tho door of her aunt's room, candle i?i hand. "CJertainly not! Why, he's to take us tliero. 44May I toll him to stay?" "Of course not; thore is no nood of saying anything. He seoms liko a very sensible youug mau, and needs no coaching." "Coaching, auntie? Fie, why that's slang. And .suppose in the coaching lie asks mo if I will lot him drive, what then?" "Don't ho foolish, child! Ho has no such ideas in his head. Don't bo foolish." 44I'm rather afraid I shall be," said Nellie, but she said it to the candle, after she closed the door. It was some months after this that Mrs. John Arlington MoQniston (Job any'a middiename lias been drawn from obscurity into active life), looking at two tall Sevres which stood beside the library fireplace, romarkod to her husband:. "John, dear, do you know d believe auntie would like to have the Duchess's letter framed and hung between the vases she sent us." .Tolinny, who was busily looking over manuscript, smiled, but said nothing. "I don't think you aro half enough grateful to your Duchess, John," continned Mr*-.?L*i>n. "Oh, yes,' said Johnny, and ho came to his w.'^j's chair and rumpled her brown bangs with caressing hand, "hut you soo ?'" i? outranked now by my queen." ?Boston Homo Journal.
