I judged lt to'be aa Auspicious time to declare ruy feelings, so t ijegau: . * ,\ ;. '{Dorothy, dear] I have wealth through no fault of iny o wu, social status ditto and a moderately good disposition. I love you. Will you mar" TO i my surprise. Mistress Dorothy spradg to her knees, crying, "Don't, .don't!" aud clapped her small hand over my mouth. '.Very well, then, I won't," I said to tho circumstances. "Oh, but I want you to!" was tho next astounding development, while she .imnnrvl down ea the sand ?g?iui, | bowed her hoad and wept. I thought I was used to Dorothy's moods, but I realized then that my knowledge concerning them, was small. ?AJ? I didn'c know what else to do, I Just sat still. Finally she raised her head from the sanctuary of her banda and looked at mo reproachfully^ "Oh, George, I've been walting a twbole year to hear you say it, and now rwhy couldn't you have said it differ ently?" I sat up a little, straighter. "How should you wish mo to approach the. eubject?" I inquired coldly. , "Of course you don't understand, poor boy I" she sighed, poking back be hind her pink ear a little damp brown ?url. -"I have a chum at home,-and ?we were always thlnlilng of something. ?that no one else would. , Qna day she isaid, -'Let's mako vows.'

'I,asked, i She looked up eagerly. "Oh, you ?navenft said it yet. you know. I stop bed you. Do you suppose you could (think of pome original way?" I "Well, I'll try mighty hard. But what ia fool thing for you to do anyway !" \ i: "I know it?'' 8he acknowledged,W!th unusual meekness. ' As our afternoons at santa Monica were devoted to the surf? wo met again In.front of! the bath house and hand in hand ; walked toward the seething breakers.

And before sJUojCOjUd do anything but steroot inc ina half frightened, wholly charming way I had caught the down car and waa out of ber eight. Once the ear reached Loa Angeles I was out, tearing along the sidewalk; to the courthouse, where the smiling coun ty clerk favored mo with tho precious bit of paper which would allow me to wed my Dorothy? "Do you know anything about any of tho preachers in this town?" I asked, wiping my perspiring forehead. His smile broadened. "Well, if It ls a runaway mate'? I shouldn't advise you to tackle tho Methodist. A trifle narrow ls Mr." "It isn't a runaway match," I an swered hastily, "but for certain rea sons, I want tho services of a young man." "Mr. B. of thc Unitarian ls abcut your age, I should judge." "lie's tho man. Wrhero can I find him?" After getting definite directions I fled down tho courthouse steps. I found Mr. B" who when he had heard my story laughed immoderately, but, as I thought a young man would, consent ed to go with me. Consequently the last car for Altadeua and Mjunt Lowe found us on boaijd, together with a huge, awkward parcel which 1 had purchased on the way to the station. As the car roached Echo mountain J found a laughing, much larger crowd than we had started with and in their . midst Dorothy, looking most uncom fortable, but holding In her little hands a bouquet of Indian paint brush, the gorgeous coloring. matching well the hue of her own sweet cheeks. "They've surmised something," I whispered to my companion. "Well, the moro the merrier, I' suppose; kind of tough on us, though." : At which speech I thought the min ister was going to disgrace bis cloth again by unseemly levity. Tue crowd drew back a little as I. advanced to ward Dorothy and introduced the rev erend gentleman. I tucked her little trembling hand under my arm, and, with my great parcel under the other, the minister discreetly leading, and aft er us the crowd, though uot fully un derstanding the play, we wended our way toward the cannon, mounted and ready for business. ^ I dropped DoUy's hand, tore the pa per wrapping from my megaphone and put it to my lips. "Dorothy I" I shouted, and first thia hill, then that, here, there, yonder, re peated her sweet name. I raised it to my lips again, and "Bo mine!" sang out the hills. Then I laid it on the ground and held out my hand, while the women smiled and tho men tossed up their hats in delight The situation was suvore, but my Dor othy was game. Blushing, tearful^ yet h?ppy withal-, she gave mo her hand, and th? minister stepped forward with his little book. General Hamilton'? Orders. In the Boer war one of thc columns, in if Canadian and half regular, under .General Ian Hamilton, became so no torious for looting that the soldiers were nicknamed "Jije ThousandThieves." Consequently General Hamilton re view^?-th?m one day. jul' a small Yillnge near Bloemfontein, says the writer of "Some South African Beirtnlscences," for the purpose of warning them against any future depredations. The column had J ust drawn up and ; was waiting for the; general. to begin the review wli?n a ragged, rooster ran out from a hut and across the front of the Une. . Suddenly a private left the line and ran after the rooster. "Haiti" shouted Hamilton. . The soldier ran on. He soon overtook the rooster and turned back, , wringing 'the neck of the fowl. As he passed the general he noted tho fierce scowl on bis face. The soldier, an Irish Canadian, was not easily daunted,' b?t this time he : temporized., Throwing the defunct tweeter at the feet of the general, he said, "There, now; V\\ tacho ye t? halt whin the gineroi says aol" At which the column roared with laughter, and. even the general smiled/ and the- soldier got only two days' im prisonment for on?Xof the most bare faced breaches of .d?t?pUne in the rec prdB of ^e army. .

HUTT the Declaration of Independ ence Was Saved by n Vote In ?he Session of the Provisional Cou ?ress In Philadelphia. lt hnpi>ouod ou that famous Fourth of July, 1770, tho day ou which tho American colonies were declared free and Independent states. If Caesar Rod ney had not mada his historic rldo there might not have beeu any freo America today. The provisional congress was lu ses sion at Philadelphia, each of the thir teen colonies Laving representatives there. It was a grout congress, uud a momentous question was before the distinguished body. The great charter of our freedom bad been written by Jefferson, aud Benjamin Hnrrisou, fa ther and great-grandfather of presi dents, bad presented it to congress on Monday, July 1. What would tho Con tinental congress do? ! lu order that our country should be free and Independent the declaration must be adopted. This could be doue if only tlie colonies were divided, and there were some good men who did uot believe it best to toko this step ut this time. Four of tho seven delegates of Pounslyvaula were opposed to it, and, of tho two Delaware delegates present, Thomas McKean was tu favor of Inde pendence, but George Read was op posed to tho measure. Caesar Roduey, the other member, was in the southern part of his state lu tho capacity of a brigadier geueral, organizing and drill ing troops for the coming struggle, Two of tho opposing Pennsylvania delegates were persuaded to absent themselves, and thus tho Keystone State would favor the declaration, but tho voto of Caesar Roduey was neces sary to carry tue state of Delaware. A messeuger was dispatched in bot haste to summon him to Philadelphia, and then for four days tho "patriots of '70" talked and maneuvered to de lay tho final vote. On Thursday, July 4, congress was to vote on the mo mentous question. On the afternoon pf the 3d the messenger found Caesar Rodney in Susses county, more than eighty miles from Philadelphia. Geueral Rodney was at that time forty-six years old. with a tall, lean, worn figure, his face scarred by a cancer that was Anally to cause his death. The brave patriot did not hesitate. "Saddle the black!" be commanded, and in ten minutes be had mounted his faithful steed and was galloping as if for Ufo to tho northward. Eighty miles away from congress, which was waiting for him to declare the independence of the colonies. The thought caused him to drive his spurs deep hito bis horse's flanks and sent him flying along tho long, dusty high way that stretched away toward the Quaker City, it was one of the great rides of history. That black steed bore the destinies of America, dnd his rider knew it, and, there was neither halt nor delay.. * Tho-~\n went down, and the stars came out one by ono in the blue vault of heaven, and thnt solitary rider rush ed on bia. way. Ail through the cool summer night Caesar Rodney kept up his reckless pace. The stars faded out of the morning sky, and the sun cpme up red and. fiery, the herald of a sultry day. And still Caesar .Roduey kept on his way. He was yet many" miles from Philadelphia. His horse was jaded, and bo. was travel worn and covered with dust, but the patriot did not slacken his! rein! He must be there to vote for the iud inn'mi ehco of America. And ho was there. All I that bot, '' awelterlrict jfaiy . doy; the* * delegates bf tho colonial congress were miking' ?and voting' Jh Independence hall. The session bad begun.. The. pres ident, John. Hancock, was in tho chair, abd the derk, John : Dickinson, was calling the colonies .?ne by one. Vb> glnia had voted and Massachusetts and the great stoto of New York and tho little state of Rhode Island, and now Now Jersey was voting, and Caesar Rodney had not come; Anxious; and ? t worried. Thomas Mc Kean went out to the door of Inde pendence bat?.

Dueling aa It Wa? In Frunce In tbe Time of nicbelleo. Tho passlou ' for dueling, which had cost France, it was said, between 7,000 and 8,000 lives during the twenty years of Henry IV.'s reign, was :V9 its height when his 6on carno to tho throue. Tho council of Trent in 1545 had solemnly condemned the practice of single combat, Jmpurtialiy iuolud ing principals, seconds and spectators In its penalty of excommunication. In 1002 an edict of Henry pronounced the "damnable custom of dueling Intro duced by tho corruption of the cen tury" to be the cause of BO ninny pite ous accidents, to the extreme regret and displeasure of the king ?nd to the irreparable damago of tho state, "that we shou'd count ourselves unworthy to hold .ho scepter if wo delayed to repress tho enormity ci* this crime." A wholo series of edicts followed to the same effect, but lt was easier to make edicts than to enforce them. Degradation, imprisonment, coutlsea tiou of property, loss of civil rights and death were tho penalties attached to the infringement of the laws against dueling, and still tho practice pre vailed. In 1C2G Richelieu published a milder form of prohibition. Tho first offense was no longer capital, a third only of tho offender's property was to be confiscated, and the judges wero permitted to recognize extenuating cir cumstances. .. . A few mouths later the Comte de Boutevllle thought fit to test tho min ister's patience lu this direction. Tho Place Royalo had long been u favorite dueling ground, and Do Boutevllle traveled from Brussels to fight his twenty-second duel here, lu tho heart of Paris, in deliberate defiance of tho king's authority. Tho result was not encouraging. Montmorency though he was, the count went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked de crease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed either to tho moderation used In framing the law or to the inexorable resolution with which lt was enforced.-Macmil lan's Magazine.
