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?

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

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

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

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.

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.
