Ah His Grace
was an invalid his
wife was much in evidence, taking
excrciso on deck, with a long, swiug*
ing stride which wais the envy of all
the other women on the ship. 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

comments on the voyage, ho Hat '
lown beside her, and in this way the
acquaintance began. '
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

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

"Well, T don't write leaders," ex
i.'.uned Johnny. "L write the 'things,*

if my money was having any
share in it. On Mouday I went to his

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

"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

recently happened in my life lias iiitorcslo 1
all my friends.
"ll is now about eight years ago since t
was stricken down with my llrst caso of ill ness,
One cold, hluslnriug day I was down
town and through my natural carelessness
at that time I pormilto I myself to got ehillo 1
right though. When I arrivo 1 ho n t that I
evening I felt a serious pain in my left log.
I bathed it that night, but by morning I <
found it had grown worse, in fact it wassc |
serious that I sent f#v my family physician,
and ho informed mo that I was suffering
from varicose veins. My log swello 1 up tc
double its natural size and the pain increased ;
in volume. The agony was simply awful, f
was laid up and never left my bed for (light
weeks. At times I felt ns though I would
grow frantic with pain. My leg was bandaged
and was propped up in the boil at an
angle of thirty degrees, in order to koep tilt
blood from flowing to my extremitios.
"I had several doctors alien ling mo, b?4
I believe my own judgment helped ineboltoi
tlian theirs. After a siege of two months I
could move around, still I was on tho sic!
list and had to doctor myself for years,
was never really cured and suffered an%
amount u! anguish.
"About two years ago I notieod an art lei*
in the Krrnnij A'? trs about my friend, Mk
Northrup, the Woodward avenuo merooant
In an interview with him let stated that ho
had used Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills for Pale
People and that they eurod hint. I knewhltr
very well, having built his house out Woodward
Ave., aud I thought I would follow his
suggestion. I must eonfess I did 9) with
marvelous success. From the time I began
to take the Pink Pills I felt myself growing
to be ii new man. They noted on me like ?
magical stimulant. The pain departed and I
1 soon was ns strong and healthy as over. J
Deforo trying tho Pink Pills I had used an/
amount of other medicine without any noticoablo
benefit. Put tho Pills curodme and
1 was myself again.
"When a parson finds himself rclicvod an I
enjoying health ho is apt to expose himseP
again to another nttaek of Illness. Soma
three moutlis ago I stopped taking the Pink,
Pills, and Iro.n the day I did so I noticed a
ehango in my condition. A short time slue?'
1 renewed my habit of taking them with tho
same beneficial results whloli met mo lor
merly. I am again nearly ns strong as evei,' I
although I am a man aliout fifty-six years olj
age. I toll you, sir, the Piuk Pills aro n most'
wonllerful modloiue, and If they do ns woll
in other cases as they did in mine they are
the best In the world. I freely recommend
them to any sufferer."
