The officers on seeing me were > about to greet me deferentially, hut | on hearing Kathleen's story they pass- ;1 ?*d on without a word. t Well, it dawned upon me that Kalli- t leen was a very bright girl and had t acted very bravely, she had told the j officers that she had been educated i abroad, in order to account for her ! accent. She was wearing my host clothes and I confess looked very pret- 1 ty and stylish as well. 1 remained in the house as her maid and was greatly :l amused by the way she had got half a ' dozen men by the ears.

I told him to go and make love to my mistress, but it was I he wanted, and the I' gulf between us hid fair to drive hint t crazy. At tlrst I augmented his torture, but at last, becoming myself as deeply 1 in love with him as lie was with me, t I was pained to sec hiui suffer. n For months we were obliged to keep .i llik o iln/'tuitinn tvhlnli L' ol Mn/m 1' commenced.

The evening before they march- 11 ed i told Kathleen that I would make 11 my true self known to Captain Whit- ^ ten. Kathleen made the confession '! herself. The look of relief on his face 11 when 1 saw hint again was replaced by one of auxiety to know bis fate.

When naked what I eoukl do for him lie said that he wished mo to bring suit against a wealthy young widow for $50,000 for breach of promise of marriage. Mrs. Fanny Blssoll was twenty live years old. rich, vivacious, pretty and a desperate flirt. Hamilton, my client, had met her during the summer. Ho found her a notorious coquette who did not scruple to engage iiuim'h iu u uw.cn lovers ut one nine. "It occurred to tue," lie said, "to punish her for such nefarious practices. It's not money I want. I've got all of it I need. Nevertheless I wish you to bring suit for $.".o,O00." I I took the case, hut before proceeding h'gaily made inquiries about the principals. 1 learned that all the plain- ! tiff had said about the defeudaut was true. I also found that Jack Hamilton, as his friends called him. had no better reputation in such matters than the ! woman he accused of lacerating his heart strings. I sent a polite note to Mrs. ltisseil making the demand on behalf of my client, and she came to my office to see me. She was, or pre | tended to lie, highly indignant with Hamilton, averring that she hardly re- I ; meinhcrod him, hut she tried to liiul out from rae what evidence he possessed In the shape of letters. Hamilton had confessed to me that he had not a scrap of written evidence, but expected me to make a bluff, aud he would not hiaiue me In case of defeat. 1 therefore informed her that I could not give her any information as to my client's side of the case?hut she would, of course, remember what she had written Mr. Hamilton. U'ith charming iciivete and a lugubrious smile, she admitted that she hart said and written , a great many fo dish tiling; during the summer, and it would not he possible to say just what she had written any | special admirer. "Well." she said at the end of the interview, "I suppose 1 shall have to pay something. Must 1 pay It all?" "Why not retain eounsel and put in a defense?" "Oh, dear. 110! Have everybody laughing ^t nie? Not by any means! I'd rathoAiay it -ill." "Supp >*9 you make an offer." 'fell him I'll pay half." She had scarcely left my office when Hamilton came into It.

I asked | him if he didn't think the amount enough, and lie replied it was equivalent to paying $2n,UOO rather than marry him. "I suppose," he added lugubriously, '4sh<' thinks she's getting off cheap. Tell her that her offer is not accepted." It was plain that money had nothing to do with the ease?at least so far us j my client was concerned?so I gave no j advice, confining myself to obeying or- j dors. Transmitting the refusal to the defendant. I received by way of reply an offer of $30,00(1. This was declined, and the amount offered was raised $5,Obo at a tiiue till the full amount claimi-d was reached, when Hamilton directed me to add a demand of $.r?,000 for j counsel fees. 1 demurred at making ! such a charge, but lie insisted, and I ! made the demand of Mrs. Hissed. She | agreed to pay it. and I supposed the j 1 ease was closed, hut Hamilton demanded a written apology for trilling with his affections. This demand was indignantly declined. Then Hamilton directed me to say to Mrs. Biased that if she would meet him at my office and in my presence say that she regretted her flirtations with other uien he would drop the ease without the payment of any money whatever. To this, after a long delay, the widow assented. 1 The meeting was to take place at 3 o'clock on a certain afternoon. Hamilton asked me to stay away from my office at the hour the lady was expected?that is, to he late in coining. I left directions that when either of the two arrived l.j or she was to be shown into my private office. I arrived at half past 3.

I coughe<l to make them aware of my presence; they started and Hamilton came forward. "You have won the ease I wanted to win," he said, "and I will now explain. Having been one of a number of those with whom the defendant in this case hud trifled I determined to withdraw without proceeding to a climax and sue for damages. 1 had no ease, for Mrs. Bissell had never promised to bo my wife. Indeed, I had never asked j her. But she had promised so many 1 that when I brought my bluff suit she naturally supposed I was one of her accepted suitors. If I haw not punished her I have at least taken away the opportunity for her to do any more damage." "Perhaps I may be allowed a word of explanation," said the blushing lady. "When the fumous Jack Hamilton came among us?famous for his escapades and conquests?all the women said that if I had a game to play ho would play me a more desperate one. Hut I made up my mind I would land him and I've done it." "Having heard both your stories," I replied, "I have to Inform you that you are as graceless a pair of scamps us I ever met.

J ! IluNNinn Discipline. 1 General Dragoiniroff, the Russian military expert, rose from the ranks and always dressed according to the army regulations for the common soldier. One day while driving about St. Petersburg In his carriage he noticed a soldier with hair longer than the rog- j illations called for. He had the horses stopped, alighted and, taking off his i hat, ordered the soldier to seize hiiu by the hair. The soldier hesitated. He feared to lay violent hands on his general; besides, tiie hair was clipped too. close to afford a hold for the hands. The general surveyed the soldier sternly for a few moments, then, twining his fingers in the latter's locks, lie literally wiped up the street with him, the victim not daring to resist. Final- j ly, having impressed the lesson tlior- I oughiy, ho re-entered his carriage and drove on, ordering the soldier to fol- j low. At the first barber's shop they came to lie again alighted and had every vestige of lialr shaved from the soldier's head, then turned him loose as a horrible example to his fellows.

Mexico has an ingenious plan for facilitating verdicts in jury trials. Two supernumerary Jurors are drawn to sit near the jury box and listen to the evidence and arguments.
