ICopyright, 1SS9, by American Press Asso
dation.]
The day after she got there there was
a polo game to be played. A man who
knew Miss Rodney took her to it cn the
box seat of his coach.
"I understand that one of the teams
has taken on a yoong Englishman for
the games this afternoon. He has been
here only a short time. Nobody knows
how he will play."
When the teams came ont on their
fiery little ponies. Miss Rodney gave a
movement cf delight and clapped her
hands. She recognized Guy Stadley at
once.
"I know that Englishman, V she said.
**He is a charming fellow. I don't
know how he plays polo, but I'll wager
you his side wins."
"A dozen gloves to a box of cigars,"
laughed her friend.
"Done."
Miss Rodney won her bet. Stadley
carried the game for his side. His play
was as bold as it was full of judgment,
and he stuck to his pony like a bur.
Nobody seemed to know anything more
about him than that he had arrived
only a few days ago and had letters of
introduction to the best people.
"It is edd," said the gentleman;
**but, although I haven't met him yet,
I have seen two or three girls, and they
have each remarked on the earnestness
with which he inquired if they knew a
Miss Florence. They suspect a romance.
Altogether it is amusing, but there is
no doubt about him. I know several of
the fellows over there who gave him
letters, and they are first class men."
**Whexeishe staying?" asked Miss
Rodney.
. "At the Ocean House."
As soon as Miss Rodney got back she
sent a note to Guy Stadley, asking him
to kindly meet her in the casino
grounds at 2 the next day. "And please
bring my ring," she added*. She signed
the note "R. Florence."
The next day she put on her best
gown and repaired to the trysting place
pretty sharply on time. She wanted to
how prompt Mr. Stadley would be,1
She had hardly made her way to a seat
in a retired spot when she saw him al?
most running toward her.
"Miss Florence," ho exclaimed, with
great heartiness, "this is an immense,
pleasure. I have been cursing myself
fer having lost track of you. Quite a
contrast this to the Itiatterhornl" He
cast a glance around on the fresh Eng?
lish aspect of the greensward and the
casino building. "Why did you not
answer my note-the one I left at the
hotel at Zermatt? I was called away
suddenly by a telegram, and I left a
note with my London address and
begged you to let me know when you
passed through."
"I never got the note." said Miss
Rodney smilingly.
"How beastly stupid of those people!
I directed it plainly enough."
"Well, I can account for the mis?
take. It is ail my fault. I am a little
late in correcting it. I had started to
give you my full name in return for
yours, when the guide interrupted me.
You supposed it was Miss Florence. I
meant to correct it later. Bat I forgot
it. And when I 'came to' I could not
find yon. I was the stupid one. not to
think that yen might have left some
message for Miss Florence. But I am
very glad to be able to correct it now.
I am glad to see yon again. Have you
brought my ring?'
"Yes. " He pulled a little box ont of
his pocket and opened it. The tiny
fragment of the mighty Matterhorn had
been imbedded in a plain band of gold.
"Mine is exactly like it." he said
heartily, holding up his hand with a
like ring on the little finger. "Yours
may have to be altered a little. Let me
put it on for you. "
Miss Rodney pulled off her glove and
extended her right hand. He tried it
on each finger, but it fitted none. ?
"That is a pity.' be said regret?
fully. "Let me try the other hand. One
hand is often smaller than the other.*
Miss Rodney extended the left hand
with smiling good nature. The ring
exactly fitted her third finger.
"There!" be said with his boyish en
thusia.-*" it exactly fits. '
"Y'es. 3ut i can't wear it on that
finger. ' she remarked, with a light
laugh She felt wonderfully at home
with the young fellow, he was so frank
and straightforward, with a nice sense
of dignity withal
"Why? Oh. the engagement finger!'
"Never mind. 1 will keep it and ar?
range about it somehow 1 am extreme?

pretty ring, and the association makes
it unique, I c.on't suppose there arc
another man and woman in the world
who have met upon the Matterhorn. 1
don't think anything would tempt mc.
to try it again. " She shuddered a lit?
tle.
"Oh, don't say that. I have though!
several times during these months,
when I could not find you, that I would
gladly scale it again if I knew you wen
ou the top.
Miss Rodney colored with a de
ful sensation of pleasure.
"That is so flattering that il

"There are two Miss Rodneys,
answered smilingly.
"This is the elder. Her name,

look of the strangest wonder seem

right at his confusion.
"You have not told me your 1

ply, fixing him with her smiling e;

eyes large with earnest wonder,

j Guy Stadley devoted himself to Mis

j 6tant attention. By the end of ten day
j he had offered her his heart and all tba
he had. Miss Rodney accepted it wit!
j a beautiful directness. She knew tha
he was the man she wanted for a hus
? hand. His fine, strong, simple, cleai
j manliness shone out as evidently, a
j unmistakably as an electric light illu
i mines a globe with its splender.
j It was with a sigh of content that h
j placed upon her finger the ring of th
I Matterhorn. She passed her hand ove
? it lovingly when it was in position, an<
j then, raising it to her lips, kissed it.
j "Now, " said Guy, looking into he:
beaming face with strong love in bi:

wish.
"I want that we shall be married in
a week, " he said.
"But, Guy 1 lt is so soon 1"
"You promised!"
"And I will if you wish it. Why
should I care? Only it must be as pri?
vate a wedding as possible. "
"It shall be as private as you like,"
he said. "So long as it is within a
week, I care for nothing else. You
promise that?"
"I promise."
He bent forward and kissed her lips
with the tenderest love and then re?
garded her with a proud light in his
eyes.
"What a woman you arel Now, dear
girl, prepare yourself for a little sem?
blance of a shock When you marry me,
you will marry-the Earl of Carring?
ton!"
At the hated name she started up, z
look of terror on her face. But he took
ber hands in his and said, with emo?
tion: "Dearest, do not love me less that
I am his cousin and have sncceeded to
a title which he degraded. You will
help me, my dearest girl, to make ii
clean and noble, as it has been before,
and I take more pride in it from know?
ing that I can confer it upon you."
He folded her closely in his manly
embrace. Yonng as he was. there was
a contained self confidence, virile force
and mastery about him. The girl in his
arms had tears in her eyes. She scarce
knew why. But she looked up bravely
to meet his honest, tender eyes and
smiled softy-a smile that proudly told
him how dear he was to her.
"You impatient boy!" she saidcajol
ingly. "Why do you make such a point
about this early marriage? Are yon
afraid yonr courage will fail you if
there is a little delay?"
"My dear girl," he said, smiling, but
with a certain gravity withal, "if yon
did not marry me before the year was

come to me. I prefer that it should be

I THE END.
Youth In Politics.
Young men ought to go into politics.
i They can do themselves and their
j country good. If they want office they
are entitled to have it. If they are
clever enough to beat their elders it
will be a salutary event for all persons
concerned. Most of the elders of poli?
tics need to be beaten ouee in a while.
It freshens them and it ventilates the
offices, taking the mold out and expos
j lng the disorganization.
Youth is indiscreet, if the textbook
of the aged may be believed. But in
I discretion is frequently the beginning
of new and approved conventionalities.
It is the iconoclast that loosens thc
world from its fetiches. When it isn't
a reality, it is a bogy, and the raillery
of old men against it need not deter
any young man from taking a turn at
it if he conscientiously thinks the old
men mistaken. A thousand youthful
indiscretions in municipal and district
government could scarcely be worse
than the thousand and ten mistakes
which the elders constantly are mak?
ing. The young men can do at least as
much as the older ones-and that is,
they can try.-Seattie Post-Intelligen?
cer.
Pieclns: Hank .Vote*.
1 am told at the treasury department
that it is not possible for a person to
defraud the government by what they
call "piecing"-that is. by clipping off
small slices of several bank notes and
fitting them together to resemble a
complete note. Such offenses have
been committed, and the guilty persons
have been sent to the penitentiary, but
the treasury never redeems the bills,
and the loss falls upon the persons who
send them in for redemption. There
are several ways of committing frauds
of this nature, and they are done so
skillfully as to escape detection except
perts. There is now a $500 note
on exhibition at the treasury which
is made up of 10 slices of other notes
so skillfully fitted together as :o es?
cape the notice of a number of banks
and many people who handled it.-Chi?

FOR THE SUMMER.
Parasols In Immense Variety to Go
With Thin Gowns.
Very thin, transparent parasols are
prepared for use with light summer
gowns. One model is of very fine open
embroidery upon mousseline de soie. The
lining shows through the open design, and
the border, which i.s of white taffeta, is
trimmed with a ruche of mousseline.
The handle of natural wood terminates
in a swan's head enameled in the natu?
ral coloring. There are also spangled
lace butterflies on parasols and parasols
of painted moire covered with plaited
tulee. Rococo embroidery on tulle is also
employed, and the newest idea is a para-1
sol entirely of puffed gauze, with choux I

decorating the top. They are not gener?
ally useful, being difficult to close, and
are only suited for special occasions.
Parasols of liberty satin will be used
for the country. White and very light
colors will predominate.
Jeweled effects are seen on parasol
handles and also for the tip of the stem.
A picture is given of a tailor made cos?
tume of beige cloth. The skirt is plain
in front and laid in plaits at the side, the
back forming a double watteau plait.
The bolero jacket has a front lengthened
in a round tab and a basque short at the
back and sides. The jacket is bordered
and trimmed with bands of lighter beige
silk covered with lines of stitching, and
the revers and cuffs are of stitched silk.
Groups of small dull gold buttons deco?
rate the front. The lining is of pearl
gray broche silk. The accompanying
toque is entirely of blue forgetmenots
and roses, with a tall black satin how
and a pulling of black satin at the back.

FASHION'S FANCIES.
Short Skirts For Fashionable Wa?Ic
ing Gowns.
For Walking gowns the train is not
worn by the most elegant Parisian wom?
en. Before pedestrian exercise and ath?
letics became fashionable the trailing
gown was faithfully maintained, but now
ladies of the best society become restive
under its rostra int. since they no longer
confine themselves to carriage progress.
Cloth, cashmere and fine wools arc used
for the street, and tailor made styles are
preferred.
Foulards and thin silks appear in the
usual combinations of white designs on a
deep blue or other colored ground. Clo
DIXXEK GOWN,
ver leaves, ferns, etc., are much seen ai
motifs. There are ether kinds of fou?
lard, in which on a palo or white gro?nx
there are large flowers in very d?licat?,
tints. Embroidered dots embellish mus
lins, pique and canvas. Printed muslin:
in designs like those of t??e painted varie
ties are also seen and are very pretty.
A picture is given of a dinner gowr
of white crepe de ?-hine. The skirt ha;
applications of yellow guipure embroiil
ered with silver spangles, and the narrow
tablier is outlined by lines of silver gal
loen. Tile bodice has applications of gui
pine in corselet form, and around tin
neck, which is half low. there is a ruch<
of mousseline de soie. The sleeves, whicl
are of elbow length, are plaited at th?
top and trimmed with guipure applica
tiens, while around the edge is a rucb<
of mousseline. Tho licit is of white sat
in. and a trail of Mar?chal Niel roses i:
worn on the left shoulder.
