By JOHN J. a'BEOIET. Copyright. 1SW. by American Pr??ea Asso? ciation.] The day after she got there ttere was ? polo game to be played. A man who know Miaa Rodney took her to it on the Box aaat of bis coach. "I understand that one of tbe teams has taken on a young Englishman for Um games this afternoon. He has been save only a abort time. Nobody knows how he will play.' /nan the teams came oot cn their aWy little ponies. Miss Rodney gave a movement of delight snd clapped her hands. She recognised Qny Stadley at ice, "I know that Englishman." she said. "He Is a charming f-dlow. I don't know bow he plays poio, bat I'll wager 900 his side wins." "A dosen gloves to a box of cigars/ laughed her friend. "Done." Miss Rodney won her bet Stadley carried the game for his side. His play waa aa bold aa it was foil of juc gment, and he stuck to his pony like a bar. Monody seemed to know snything more about him than that be had arrived only a few days ago and had letters of introdvction to the best people. "It is odd." said the genfJeman; "imt although I haven't met him yet 1 nave seen two or three girls, si ad they have each remarked on the ean estness with which he inqnired if they knew a Miss Florence. They suspect arc ma nee. Altogether it ia amusing, but :here is mo donbt a boot him. I know several of the fallows over there who ga"e hint tetters, and they are first class men." ?/Where is he staying?" asked Hiss "At the Ocean Hones." Aa soon as Miss Rodney got bick aha aawt a note to Gray Stadley, asking hint to kindly meet her in the casino grands al t the next dsy. "And please bring ay ring," she added. She signed tha note "It Florence." The next day aha put on nor best gown and repaired to the try sting place pretty sharply on time. She wanted to; ana how prompt Mr. Stadley would be.1 BB* bad hardly made her way to a seat fa a retired spot when she saw him si anost mnning toward her. "Miss Florence." he exclaimed, with great heartiness, "this is sn immense Besesora, I have been cursing myself1 for having lost trsck of yon. (?mite a contrast this to the Matterborn l" Ha east a glance around on the fresh Eng? lish aspect of the greensward i.ud the | eaniao building. "Why did yon not answer my note?the one I left at the hotel at Zermatt ? I was calloc away 1 suddenly by a telegram, and I left a note with my London address and bogged yoa to let me know when yon passed through." "I never got the note." said Miss Rodney smilingly. "How beastly stupid of those peoplel I directed it plainly enough." "Welt I can account for the mis? take. It is all my fault. I am a little late in correcting it. I had started to give yon my fall name in return for yours, when the guide interrnpted me. Ton supposed it was Miss Florence. I meant to correct it later. Hut I forgot it. And when I 'cnine to' I could not Ind yon I was tbe stupid one. not to think that yon might have left some SBsassge for Miss Florence. Bnt I am very glad to be ablo to correct it now. I am glad to see yon again. Have you hroogbt my ring?' "Yes. " He pulled a little box out of his pocket unl opened it. The tiny fragment of the nighty Matterborn had been imbedded in a plsin ban 1 of gold. "Mine ie exactly like it." he said heartily, holding np bis band with a like ring on the little finger. "Yours may have to be altered a little. Let me pat it on for you. " Miaa Rodney polled off her glove and extended ber right hand He tried it en each finger, bat it fitted none. "Tbst is a pity.' be said regret folly "Let me try the other hand. One hand is often smaller than tbe other.' Misa Rodney extended tbe left band with smiling good nature. The ring exactly fitted her third finger "There!" be said with his boyish en thu'issui "It exactly fita ' "Yea But I can't wear it on tbat finger.' she remarked, with a light laugh Sbe felt wonderfully at home with the young fellow, he was so frank sod straightforward, with a nice sense of dignity withal "Why? Oh. the engagement finger V "Never mind I will keep it and ar? range nhont it somehow 1 am extreme? ly obliged to yen It makes snch an odd. 'And pleat hrtwj my Tiny," ehe added. pretty ring, and the association makes it unique. I don't .mppose there are another man and woman in the world who have met upon the Matterhorn. I don't think anything would tempt me to try it again." Sbe shuddered a lit tie. "Oh, don't say that I hnve thought several times during tbeso months, when I could not find you, that I would gladly scalejt sgain if I knew yon were ou tbe top." Miss Rodney colored with a delight fol sensation of pleasure. "That is so flattering that it can hardly be qnite true," sbe said gayly. " 'Pon my honor, it is, though." he replied with great earnestness. "I never beard of so plncky a woman. There is only one other that I can think of in comparison with yon at all. Do yon know a Miss Rodney?" "There are two Miss Rodneys," she answered smilingly. "This is tbe elder. Her name, I be- | lieve, is"? He stopped short, and a look of tbe strangest wonder seemed to fix his face. Miss Rodney langhed ont rigbt at his confusion. "You have not told me your name yet." he stammered?"the real name, yon know." "Florence?Rodney," she said sim? ply, tixing him with her smiling eyes. "Qcod heavens!" he ejaculated. "Tell me," he inquired eagerly, his eyes large with earnest wonder, "did you, while you were in London, meet ?the Earl of Carringtonf" It was Miss Rodney's turn to be amazed. "Yes." she said quickly. "But in justice to myself I hasten to add that I met him only to conclude as definitely as possible and once for all a matter of which I cannot think even now without a blush of shame. I hope I may raever see or hear of him again." "I am glad to tell yon that you will never see him again," the young Eng? lishman replied, with an indescribable air, rather of severity than solemnity. "He is dead." "Dead 1" cried Miss Rodney. "When did he diet" Sbe was startled. "A month ago," he answered simply. "How strange it all is!" "This is all strange." said Mies Rod? ney. "What did the poor wretch die oft" "He had need himself up completely. He hsd hsd a sort of stroke of an apo? plectic character some weeks before he met you. He had another that settled him a month ago." "Yon do not suppose that I could have helped to precipitate it, do you?" cried Miss Rodney, an expression al? most of awe coming into her face. "No ; he precipitated it himself," the yovng fellow replied, with a mournful contempt "He had only himself to thank for it Do not let this trouble yon for a moment" "But how did yon know of this?" asked Miss Rodney. "I hope my name lid not come out in connection with it Any association of my name with that of Carrington will always be without any fault of mine." "Ob. don't say that, please 1" he re? plied, with quick protest "I mean that yon are too fair to link a man's vileness with a name that others may have borne honorably and which others again may redeem. I know that is what yon'd mean. But let us drop the sub? ject. I did not like the man myself." "Bat how did you know this? I hope you were not a friend of his I" "No; I was not a friend of his, and be had no liking for me. But it was my odd fortune to be present once when Carrington, in an excess of drunken rage at the recollection of your treat? ment of him. spoke of it and mentioned your name. Now that this matter is explained, let us forget the man I ad? mire yon more than ever." "Pray, understand that I am asham? ed of that pago in my history. But if you could have seen tbe insulting let? ter that he wrote me! And 1 had been insulted grossly enough once before on this man's account I would tell you this only that it seems a little strange to be so confidential with a?almost a itranger." "I shall be glad to hear anything that concerns you, my dear Miss Rod? ney. I have something to tell you my? self which is confidential, but with your permission I will defer that." "Let us defter it all," she answered. "It is too painful, and meeting you is pleasant I do not want to have it marred by such an association. How long are you going to be in Newport ? Is this your first visit to America?" "Tbe first. I will tell you frankly. Miss Rodney, that one great thing that drew me here was the hope that I might find the plncky j;irl I met upon the Matterhorn. Now that I have found her. 1 confess with equal frank? ness that I think my stay in Newport will bo as long as"? Ho stopped and smiled ingenuously "When do yon expect to leave here?' "In u fortnight. I expect to join my mother at Narragansett Pier." "Oh. I met your sister there. It is a delightful place. I shall probably re? visit it later." He said this with such a palpable I sense that tbe time would be coincident with that in which Miss Rodney would bo there that she smiled, and he lapsed into a short laugh himself. Guy Stadley devoted himself to Miss Rodney with tbe most earnest and con? stant attention. By the end of ten days he had offered her his heart and all that he bad. Miss Rodney accepted it with a beautiful directness. She knew that be was the man she wanted for a hus? band. His fine, strong, simple, clean manliness shone out us evidently, as unmistakably as an electric light illu? mines a globe with its splender. It was with a sigh of content that he placed up n her finger tho ring of the Mat>rbor.?. She passed her hand over it lovingly when it was in position, and then, raisiug it to her lips, kissed it. "Now," said (iuy. looking into her besming face with strong love iu his own honest eyes. "I have gw? to tell you something First, you love mu for myself, do you not? This man," and he struck his chest with his powerful right hand, "(iuy Stadley?" She bent her bead and said "Yes' softly, but with intense conviction. "I kuow you well enough, my dear girl, to feel that you will understand and not be disturbed by what I have to tell yon. But first I want you to agree to something which 1 have greatly at heart. Will yfju do it? I will ag.ee to anything yon can ank of me." "Yes." she said, still scftly. but with ' a per fee t_. glad tvnst in him whichroade | ?Tou impatient b&y!" she said cnjoltngly. her glory In submitting blinuTy to'hla wish. "I want that wo i hall be married in a week," he said. "But, Guy I Itissoeoonl" "You promised 1" "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. Yon promise that?" "I promise." He boot forward and kissed her lips with the tenderest love and then re? garded her with a proud light in his eyea "What a woman yoo arel Now, dear girl, prepare yourself for a little sem? blance of a shock. When yon marry ms, yon will marry?the Earl of Carring tonl" At the hated name ehe started up, c look of terror on her face. But he took her hands in his and said, with emo? tion: "Dearest, do not love me less that I am his cousin and have succeeded to a title which be degraded. You will help1 me, my dearest girl, to make it clean and noble, as it has been before, and I take more pride in it from know? ing that I can confer it upon yon." He folded her closely in his manly embrace. Young as he was, there was a contained eelf confidence, virile force and mastery about him. The girl in his arms had tears in her eyea She scarce knew why. But she looked np bravely to meet his honest, tender eyes and smiled softy?a smile that proudly told him how dear he wat to her. "Yon impatient boy I" she said cajol ingly. "Why do you muke such a point about this early marriage? Are you afraid your courage will fail you if there is a little delay?" "My dear girl," he said, smiling, but with a certain gravity withal, "if you did not marry me before the year was up your eccentric aunt's fortune would come to me. I prefer that it should be yours," he added simply. Uncle Josiah showed he had a heart and was really pleased with his nephew iu-law by the handsome way in which he bestowed stock certificates and one or two choice bits of realty on his niece the day of the wedding In deference to Mrs. Rodney's wishes and to please Rose, who was maid of honor, instead of the quiet wedding the earl and bis bride would have preferred, they con? sented to make it one of the most bril? liant functions of the season. The Countess of Carrington insisted on being made such by the ring of the Matterhorn. It has not left her finger since. THE END. Youth In Politics. Young men ought to go into politics. They can do themselves and their country good. If they want o?ice 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 ouce lu a while. It freshens them and it ventilates the offices, taking the mold out and expos? ing the disorganization. Youth Is indiscreet, if the textbook of the aged may be believed. But in? discretion is frequently the beginning of new and approved conventionalities. It is the iconoclast that loosens the 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 conscieutiously 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.?Seattle I'ost-Intelligen cer. FleclflK llnuk Note*. 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 la, 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 person? have been sent to the peniteutlary, 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 tin "0, ami they are done so skillfully a. to escape detection except by experts.

FOR THE SUMMER. Parasols In Immense Variety to Go Wltu Thin Golms. Very Ihin, 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 is 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? sol entirely of puffed gauze, with chouz TAILOR MADE COSTUME. decorating the top. They are not gener? ally useful, being diflicult 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 giveu 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 hroche silk. The accompanying toque is entirely of blue forgetmenots and roses, with a tall black satin bow and a pufling of black satin at the baek. JUDIC ClIOLLET. FASHION'S FANCIES. Short Skirts For Fnshionnble Walk tllK CaOWnM. 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 restraint, since they no longer confine themselves to carriage progress. Cloth, cashmere and fine wools are 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 DIX5BB i.own. Ter leaves, ferns, etc., are much seen as motifs. There are other kinds of fou? lard, in which on a pale or white ground there are large flowers in very dcllcatS tints. Embroidered dots embellish mus? lins, pique and canvas. Printed muslins in designs lila? those of the painted varie? ties are also seen and are very pretty. A picture is given of a dinner gown of white crepe de ehine. The skirt has spplicatlons of yellow guipure embrold? ered with silver spangles, and the narrow labiler is outlined by lines of silver gal? loon. The bodice has applications of gui? pure In corselet form, and around the neck, which is half low. there is a niche of mousseline de sole. The sleeves, which are of elbow length, art4 plaited at the top and trimmed with guipure applica? tions, while around the edge is a ruche of mousseline. The belt is of white sat? in, and u trail of Mareehal Niel roses ia worn ou the left shoulder. Judic Chollet. SOUTHERN' RAILWAY. Condensed Schedule In Effeot May 6, 1000.
