The Roberts’ house party had been
voted a success. It began on Friday
aight, and now that Sunday dinner
was over the fortunate guests were
bewalling the fact that the morning
sun would see them all back in town
gain.
Robert Livingston, however, was not
10 sure that his visit had been alto-
gether a successful one. He was des.
serately in love with Hulda Roberts.
This was no secret, for Robert had
Jeen guilty of relating his infatuation
0 every one who would listen to the
aarrowing tale for the past four years.
Che story was interesting to Robert.
0 why not to others?
The one cloud on his horizon, and
his a cloud which the brightest sun-
ihine could not blot out, was Carlton
Jarruthers. There he was even now,
when the precious moments were so
‘ew, dangling over the side of tho
Mano at which Hulda was playing
woftly.
Cariton Carruthers was likewise in
ove with Hulda, but he had never
nentioned the fact to any one as yet.
10t even to Hulda herself.
Livingston leaned against the man-
elplece and surveyed the scene. Evi
lently a plan had occurred to him, for
1e suddenly walked over to the piano.
“Hulda, don’t you think it would be
i fine stunt to go for a short walk
ifter that heavy dinner?” he suggest-
d, absolutely ignoring Carruthers.
“Hardly in this toggery,” Hulda
aughed in reply.
“What have you against Miss Rob.
rts, old man?’ interrupted Carruthers,
‘that you should invite her for a stroll
o the snow clad in a deccllete gown
nd paper soled slippers?”
“Well, to be frank,” admitted Living-
ton, “I was thinking only of you.”
“Of me?” echoed Carruthers.
“Yes. You see, I wanted to speak to
fulda for a moment, and I knew yon
etested the cold, so I suggested going
ut of doors to get rid of you.”
He was irresistible, and all three of
bem laughed.
“Livingston,” sald Carruthers, “I'll
aake a bargain with you. I'll go un
a the library and smoke for just one
our, then I'll come back and claim
{iss Roberts, and you to go to the Ii.
rary for an hour. What say you?"
“Gentlemen! Gentlemen!” cried Hul-
a. “How do you know that I could
tand either of you for one whole
our?
But Carruthers was gone, and there
vas nothing for her to do but stay
7ith Livingston. Together they went
ato the gres* hall and curled up on an
1d settle before the open fire. The
ther members of the party had settled
own into peaceful groups.
Most of the men had congregated in
{r. Roberts’ study and were in a heat.
d debate over politics, while the wo-
en were seated cozily about the
rawing room talking over the same
hings that women always do discuss
shen the men are not about—clothes
nd servants.
Hulda felt something brush by her
kirts and, leaning over, saw her fa-
orite Angora cat purring at her side.
‘enerly she picked the animal up in
er arms,
“Bobby, dear.” she cooed to it.
“Did I understand you aright?” ex-
laimed Livingston.
“I was speaking to the cat,” reprov-
4 Hulda. “His name is Robinson
‘rusoe, but we call him Bobbie for
hort.”
“You will forgive me, Hulda, won't
ou? apologized Livingston as he
ervously pulled at his perfectly fitted
ollar. “But you must remember that
iy name is Bobbie. And, Hulda,” he
ontinued as he leaned a little closer
> her, “do you think you could ever
ome to think of me as Bobble dear?”
“Why, Mr. Livingston”— began
(ulda.
“Could you ever care as much for
1e as for” —
“You have no right to drag Mr. Car
thers into this,” interrupted Hulda.
He is nothing to me.”

| Pretty hard. My, my. but you must

May I =it upon the vacant throne?’ he
asked as he seated himself at the
other end of the bench.
For an hour or more Carruthers and
utterly oblivious that other Inhabit
world seemed thefrs, and the though:
of others even existing would have
marred the picture.
Suddenly the door leading to the
back of the house was thrust open
and the maidservants came dashing:
through in wild disorder, one after the
other, yelling: “Fire! Save me! Mur-
der!” etc. The butler appeared on the
scene immediately after them and
made straight for Mr. Roberts.
In a moment all was confusion. Mrs.
Roberts tried to calm the women
guests, while most of the men made a
dash for the kitchen. Carruthers hesi-
tated as he felt Hulda grasp bis arm
tightly.
He looked down into the blue eyes
and the rosy lips which had just made
him so happy when suddenly from out
of the heavens he seemed to fall to
earth with a sickening thud.
“Oh, my Bobble! My dear, dear Bo!»
bie! Save him, some one!” cried Hulda.
Carru‘hers looked at the girl once
more to make quite sure the cry came
from her. There was no mistake. She
wanted Livingston.
“Where is he?’ demanded Car-
ruthers huskily,
“Oh, he's in the kitchen. Save him,
please do, for my sake!”
Carruthers waited for no more. His
heart was too full, his brain whirling.
Past the frightened women, down the
long corridor that led to the kitchen.
brushing maids aside, he strode to
save his rival, Bobble Livingston.
As he reached the kitchen he found
the men had put out the slight confla-
gration and that it amounted to noth-
ing. But Livingston was not in sight
Turning to Mr. Roberts, he asked for
him.
“Oh, Livingston was here just'a mo-
ment ago.” said Mr. Roberts, “but 1
think he said he was going for a
walk.”
The men all returned to the main
part of the house, assuring the ladies
that it was nothing. Carruthers went
over to Hulda.
“Where's Bobble?’ she asked, with
great concern,
“He's gone”— began Carruthers,
“Oh, my dear, dear Bobbie!" walled
Hulda, not allowing him to finish his
sentence, Then something brushed her
skirt again, and, with a scream of de-
light, she picked up the cat.
“You told me he was gone,” she said
reproachfully to Carruthers as she
hugged the fluffy ball to her breast.
“Is that the Bobble you sent me
for?’ gasped Carruthers.
“Of course it is,” Hulda answered
rather sharply. “Who did you think !
sent you for?”
“Why, Bobble Livingston,” weakly
replied Carruthers as he mopped the
perspiration from his brow.
Hulda hugged the cat for just a min-
ute as she smiled. Then suddenly she
turned serious and put him on the
floor. She quietly sat down by Car-
ruthers, and quite low in his ear she
whispered:
“And you went in there to save Bob-
ble Livingston because I asked you to,
and you believed all the time that—
that" —
“What else could I believe when yon
were screaming to have some one save
ton.
“Well, dear, dear Carl, I love you
better than 1 did before the fire, if
that could possibly be,” whispered
Hulda. And once more the earth was
inhabited by two people only.
The Sword of Cornwallis.
Art is not always true to history
Schoolboys of several generations are
familiar with the picture of Cornwallis
surrendering his sword to Washington
after the fall of Yorktown. Lord Corn-
wallis is revealed in the act of passing
over his beautiful sword to the hand
of his conqueror. The inference is that
Washington took the sword and kept
it as a trophy of victory. The facts
are quite otherwise,
Cornwallis, proud even in defeat, de
clined to put in a personal appearance
on the occasion of his surrender. The
allied forces, American and French.
who had besieged him for thirteen
days, were drawn up in two columns
along the oad leading to Hampton
Rochambeau, on a fine bay horse, wax
at the head of the French column. On
his white charger sat Washington ut
the head of the American troops. The
surrendered British and Hessians
marched out of their intrenchments
and passed down between the two col-
umns, ‘©
Many thousands of Virginian citizens
were gathered to watch the scene, all
eager to get a glimpse of Lord Corn-
wallis. But they were disappointed in
that. Cornwallis pleaded indisposition
and stayed in his quarters. He sent
his sword by one of his officers, Gen-
eral O'Hara, to be delivered up to
Washington. General O'Hara offered
the sword to Washington, who direct-
