The yacht lay on the edge of the fleet.
They had just made colors aboard, and
fired the sunset gun, and were anchored
some cable lengths away from another
yacht on either side. All the inner har
bor. Indeed, was gay with the lesser
craft, waiting for the trial races begin
ning on the next day. The town
sparkled In the evening light behind
thtm but the White Ladye when
she came in left the sea outside lying
high and dim where the black and gold
line of the Valiant made relief, and the
outlines of the Reckon, of the Powhat
an, and of the big man-of-war were like
phantoms. Lettuce leaves and fruit
parings floated by the little launches
that were darting all about like caddis
llles on the Inside water, wlth the boats
of the navy yard. There was an agree
able sense of stir and of impending din
ner in the air; presently there would be
toilettes, of a sort, and night on the dark
still water-world, and sleep after toil.
The Mayflower crept In like a ghost in
the purpling air, and all her white array

slid (V.wn and Ml lii-r. Ami I hen the
lights btigan to I winklf out, und. us if it
were a signal, tlie whule inner fleet put
on a myriad of oilier twinkles with eleo
liie bulb ami given uml red sparks, till
Hie harbor was a shwl of jewels.
Through all this iln-riCul preparation
for pleasure, now sliding along the dark
oily swell ami now breaking the
wdke of light of tliis nud that bout,
into their life a moment uiul gone again,
seeing the faces ul (he men In their sen
negligee, anil of the women, these trim
in yachting suits and ttuw wearing big
flowi r-laflen hats ami gorgeous gowns,
slipped the launch of the Neckaii, cur
rying various stores frmu town, the
innil mid a couple of passengers who
had come down to join the yacht out
side. As one of them leaned back
miiong the cushions In the stein und
enjuyed lliu interlude, those who
c hanced to be looking over and saw her
slipping by might have imagined that,
save for the difference of draperies and
accessories, Cleopatra in her barge upon
the Cldnus was no fairer and no queen
ller sight than llonorla llenslcr going
to join her Vundewater cousins on the
Neckan, cousins whose wealth and sur
roundings were of vulue to her, us they
themselves were, and her beuuiy and
charm distinctly were to them.
oh!" she cried, as they welcomed
her on the Neckan, and there was some
thing In her rich full Voice that cur
responded to till her other attractions,
"this Is solid comfort!" and she looked
along the deck while drawing off her
(cloves. "So good of you to send Klfine.
Now this looks as things should. I
declare I dared not move on the llttlu
Winnow for fear of upsetting the whole
business. . I assure you when we came
round the Cape and she stood on end
at every big-wave nnd made a spring
over into the next, I felt of no more
worth' than a bubble nf'tmttn, and I
left her at New Bedford. Who is there
on board? Charley Glsborrie? LauraT
No? The distinguished stranger? You
are dressing for dinner? Then you will
lend me Flflne again? I have just
packed off Olymne for good or bad;
but I sent my luggage by train. With
you then anon." And moving easily on
her way, with an embrace , here and
a salutation there, she disappeared.
And Gisborne and Hie foreign prince,
who was the Yanderwaters' prize for
the cruize, Ioked after her, one with
a hopeless nnathema on his luck, and
the other with a sense of something
new swimming into his horizon, while
Mrs. Dennett Dennett, a social arbiter,
settled the ample front of her incroya
ble moire and said to herself that It
would be a pleasure to make the for
tune of such a pirl as that.
It was perhaps ns well that there
was no Roentgen-ray to apply to the
working of Miss Hensler's mind as she
looked up nnd down the table a little
later.. "Poor Charley Gisborne that
simpering Flnkey May Mrs. Dennett
Dennett, a little more glorious than
tuual Lady Christopher dear, dear,
there's sure to be a scrap! The prince
didn't some one say he hasn't a pen
ny? Very swell. But I don't see any
reason to go back on Chauneey." And
Mrs. Dennett Dennett saw on her hand
an opal like a drop of dew that held all
sunrise, and knew that it was once her
mother's, but didn't see the tiny thread
of gold it guarded, and that was the
ling of llonorla's engagement to
Chauneey Parkes, a university pro
fessor with an education and a career
before him that might eventually
amount to a great deal, but with an
Income that in Mrs. Dennett Dennett's
apprehension, amounted to just notli
Insr. . ,
When they enme on fleck, under the
awning with Its fringe of lights, a white
apparition loomed .some way off, a
yacht that had come to anchor while
they were at dinner." The Pondrngon,"
the sailing master said in reply to Mr.
Vanderwater's inquiry. "Sir Brooke
Beltanley and Lord Gadsden. Going
round the world. They'll see the races
end have some repairs."
"How Interesting! I know Sir
Brooke very well," said Mrs. Dennett
Dennett, on the report. "Pray go over
with my compliments tomorrow, Mr.
Vanderwater, if you can arrange It,
and bring him on board. A delightful
fellow." she added afterward to Lady
Christopher, who hprsclf did not know
Sir Brooke, but resented having the
fact reoognized.
"I believe." said Lady Christopher,
"that he has some peculiar precedence,
some long descended tights. We have
families, perhaps you know, that need
not take off their hats to the queen."
"I should think any gentleman
(would," said Mrs. Dennett Dennett.
"Oh, over here, don't you know, you
hardly understand all that the peer
age" , .
'My dear!" said Mrs. Dennett Den
nett. "As if I hadn't 'seen a peerage
on every' drawing-room table in Lon
don, thumbed like a Boston blue-book.
Oh, yes. And Sir Brooke is the heir
presumptive of a dukedoom the im
becile old duke is some sort of a dis
tant cousin with no one between. He
has half a dozen continental titles, be
sides, that have fallen to him in much
the same way, and good ones, some of
them: but he never uses them: he pre
fers to wear his little English one."
Lady Christopher's husband was only
a knight.
"And a place for every one, I sup
pose." said Honoriu.
"Places that are poems."
"And money to burn, I dare say," said
poor Charley Gisborne.
"Y.as, he owns, I won't say half the
iron and coal mines in England, and
about the same thing as whole cities,
but he has really fabulous .wealth and
enough of our securities to make It
very well worth his while to come
over."
"He will not need to look for an
heiress then," said Lady Christopher.
"Nor have the chance. All the mam
mas in London were pulling caps about
him last year their frightful caps!"
Euld Mrs. Dennett Dennett, who never
allowed herself to be outdone in a rudi-
ness.
"They wear their own hair, don't you
know," said Lady Christopher. "And
the effect"
"Oh, that's Very plain." said Mrs.
Dennett Dennett, looking for her cloak;
and Sir Brooke .was quite forgotten in
the agreeable excitement of the skir
mish. But over on the Pi-ndragun, Sir
Brooke Bcltuuely was louning on the
rail, nothing visible of him but the
spark of his rluur, and looking down
and across at the Neckan.
"By Jove, Billy!" he exclaimed "Do
you see that?" and the movement of his
cigar indicated the lighted deck of the
Neckan and the beautiful young woman
standing there while a lark and slender
foreign-looking man dropped her wrap
r( her shoulders. Tall, and rounded us
Clytle might have been, and with a
mans or red-gold hair rippling from a
forehead almost ns low and full and
white as Clytle's. too, Intensely fair un
der the strong light, with eyes like two
great topazes, and Willi u mouth red
and sweet and parting in a. xmlle. she
was like a vision out he-re on the dark
sea. She wore n white Venetian silk,
which fcho hal brought along, in case
they dressed for dinner, because it
would not cockle in the sea air; and on
her waist was one long stemmed wide
blown American Beauty rose. Charley
Gisborne had whispered to her. as they
came out on deck (hat night, that she,
and not tin? rose, deserved the name.
But she hud heard the phrase before,
"Do 1 see what?" said the gentleman
addressed, who was called Billy by his
friends chiefly because that was not his
name, lighting another cigur before he
threw away (he lust und watched Its
little spark hiss and quench in the wa
ter. "That!''
"That," said Billy, after a long gaze,
"Is a demonstrative dangerous pronoun,
relating in this case to Miss Honoriu.
Heiisler, the best equipped flirt In these
or any other waters."
"Vou know her, then." said Sir
Brooke, turning to look ut him, rather
Ineffectually through the darkness in
that spot.
"To my cost," said Billy, rolling his
cigar between his teeth. 'That is to
say," he added, after some moments'
silence and recollection and decision,
"I was over here hist year, und made a
fool of myself, as every other man does
who ever sees her. Don't burn your
fingers there, Brooke. She has the
beauty of a marble statue and just as
much heart In her body."
. "Married?" asked Sir Brooke,
".'Single. In the late twenties. Lots
of rich relatives,- but only about a thou
sand a year herself. . Five thousand,
they call it here, with their usual big
mouth.".
"you couldn't marry hpr on that,
Billy," with some men's pleasant way
of stating a brutal fact,
"No, That was the mischief of it,"
said Billy, frankly. "You can."
"Not a marrying man. ?llly."
"I wouldn't trust the statue in Trafal
gar Square. with her, if she chose to
turn Its head."
"Had it bad. Billy?"
"Well, If you know when you're In
luck, nnd you don't want it bad your
self, you'll put on steam and be out of
this by daybreak tomorrow!"
"Run away from danger, eh?"
"By Jove, there's some dangers a man
had best pass by on the other side."
"I don't know but you're right. Circe
turned her men to beusts. This damsel
"BY JOVE! BILLY. DO YOU SEE
THAT?"
seems to sour the milk of human kind
ness. Come, It Is rather interesting
and we were getting dull. What do you
say, Billy? Do I call off the second best
in these affairs?" turning on him.
"i'ou've had enough of them to know,"
sail Billy sulkily.
"And I'm not a heart-broken mis
ogynist yet? And never shall be? One
cant always come off winner. There's
a pleasure in deserving victory. Wor
thy antagonist, don't you know, a shiv
er of danger, u trembling on (he edge
of triumph."
"Something more of the danger."
"Well, I'm feeling fairly tit.- Suppose
we're set over there tomorrow. Jove!
There's an old woman there I know,
tool See her? From Queen .Boadacea

what "the oh; Dennett, yes And
he looked again for the girl In the light
with the great rose on her breast. But
she was lying back in her chair near
the sde, almost out of sight, and let
ting the soft cool air blow over her
while Charley Gisborne amused her.
Perhaps in the gloom Sir Brooke's fancy
magnified all the beauty he had seen,
and as he leaned toward It he could not
tell whether he saw or dreamed its
loveliness.
The great sound steamer went puff
ing and panting by with emerald and
ruby glints, laying golden, organ-pipes
down the dark waters, a moving pal
ace for light The yachts rose and fell
in the slow spell of the slipping tide:
the stars looked faintly out behind a
veil of haze; now and then through the
wide spaces long wafts of the perfume
of flowers streamed past by way of
the land, now and then by way of the
sea came a strong fanning of its chill
salt breath. From a distant deck a
woman's voice rose and filled the dark
hollow of the heaven with the spark
ling deliclousness of Manon's drinking
song. In the following silence only the
chimes of the clocks from far-off towers
fell, and the bells of thts shl? and of
that sounded the hour; and there seem
ed to be in all the atmosphere of the
summer night and sea a certain waiting
and expectancy of pleasure if not of
joy.
To be Continued.
LEAKING A CRISIS.
From the Washington Post.
The theory of all good government Is the
the greatest liberty to the individual con
sistent with the rights of his fellow-citl-len.
He is free to act until he trenches
upon these rlgtHs, and then the law lays
Its. hand upon him. 80 with nations.
Each is supreme and absolute within its
own sphere; but, unlike Individuals, there
is no higher power to enforce upon a na
tion a Jast nnd equitable regard for the
-rights of another. The power to do is
restrained only by the special agreement
not to do, ho national conscience, and a
decent respect for the opinion of mankind.
There is no court to which nations may
appeal under international law and treaty
obligations. The law and the treaties ex
ist, but their enforcement depends entire
ly upon the nation's good faith. To give
effect to this good faith, within its own
borders and over Its own citizens, neu
trality laws are enacted. Here the na
tion is supreme. It muy say what is, or
what Is not, a violation by Its citizens of
the rights of another nation. It may say
what is a violation of Its own rights by
the citizens of that other nation. But
after all, these are but private laws, and
unless they line un true with interna
tional law they are at fault. The national
conscience must plumb true with the In
ternational conscience, or the savage con
dition ret urns, and might makes right.
Our neutrality laws are not binding upon
Spuln, but Hpuln has not heretofore found
fault with them. They are. in effect, the
same as he English und French laws, and
are Just, equitable, and adequate. Can
the same be said of the laws of Spain?
The. Competitor, a small commercial
schooner, laden with munitions of war
intended for the Insurgents, was captured
in Cuban waters. This Is no unusual
thing In time of war, and International
luw provides that the punishment due to
(hose engaged In such un enterprise Is a
forfeiture of their vesel ami their goods.
This Is the only punishment which may
he inflicted, lint the Spanish law, und
we must suppose that the Spaniard has
law lor what lie docs, not only forfeits
tho veel and cargo, but condemns to
death tho alien crew. This no other dy
lized nation lias done or would do. e Ho
not now speak of our treaty with Spain,
guaranteeing a civil trial, which treaty in
this case the Spaniards disregarded. The
lodgment or a civil tribunal would prnba
blv have, been the same. W complain
of tho Judgment itself and the law which
brings It Into operution. Should this Judg
ment bo executed, and we havo no reason
to believe that It will not be, it will be In
ilellance of international law and the cus
toms of civilization, is Spain strong
enough to say, "We care nought for right ,
we have might?" Would she treat ns us
she treats her swarthy subjects In Afiicu?
We leavn out oT'llie subject all ques
tions of Cuban rights or Cubun wrongs,
and our sympathy tor the one or detest;
turn for the other. The question is not
now Cuba, but America. We do not claim
to be always right. We have Irresponsible
youngsters In this country, who emulated
ihe Barcelona mobs w'ae.i they burned
in efflgv the Irresponsible youngster who
H klng'or Spain. We have even newspa
pers, hob-nobbing with kings and prime
ministers, which attempt to regulate the
dUtlnlcs of nations, if not the Progress
of the universe, and one of which howled
until It was red In the face in denuncia
tion of Spain because the Bpanlaras were
using a copper-swugged bullet in Cuba,
not knowing that our own government for
"ears expe, Imente.l with copper-covered
bullets, and failed to adopt the same for
our new army rill, only because the s eel
covered -bullet was found more effects e.
We have statesmen who try to make po
litical capital out of Cuba. But we have
more than this. More than our sympathy
for C una. we have a Arm ?T,T. T
that America and Americans shall be re
jected Spanish law. when it touches
Xmnrt be yoked to the same plow as in
ternational law.
The Competitor Ticident Is not settled
Par from it. The sentence of death is
only suspended. It hangs as a sword over
fie head- t American citizens. The
sword is poised In air. hut with it Is
noised another sword. (Irmly held by the
arm of the republic. Should this fall, the
second will cleave forever the frail ties
that now bind Cuba to the mother coun

SOME WELL KNOWN
flOMS DE PLUME
Early Writers Are Timid About Uiiof
Their Rifht Names.
SOME SIMPLY USE THEIR INITIALS
Soma of Them, However, Assume
Fictitious Namti8oine Mem Who
Write Vnder a Woman's Name.
How the Compliment lias Been Re
turned.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Almost every writer at the beginning
of his career knows a trepidation and
timidity that makes him glad to hide
behind a "soubriquet," or, as the
French usually call them, "noras de
guerre." It . might be thought that
these are chosen haphazard. Though
this may be so in some cases, it is usual
ly otherwise. As much thought is of
ten expended in their construction as
was ever devoted to the title of a book.
Some adopt a "nom de plume" because
of innate modesty; others through
mortal fear of the public and critics;
yet a larger class And a satisfaction in
writing over a name more suggestive
it may be. or romantic than the ortg
lnal family name. Sometimes the styi.e
and kind of work done by an author
suggests or decides tile pseudonym,
while, in the great majority of cases
is simply that euphonious or fanciful
name is desired.
The simplest form and these consti
tute a goodly number consist of the
initials of the author's real name, such
as "I E. L." (Letitia Ellzabth Lan
don); "O. A. S." (George Augustus
Sala), and "B." (the late Lord Bram
well), or some transposition of the real
name, such as "Dalniocand" (used by
George MacdonalU), and "Draw." which
is simply Ward, written backwards.
As another example might be men
tioned the famous prima donna, Mad
ame Trebelii, whose real name was
"Glllebert," her nom de theatre being
her surname spelled backwards, with
the initial "O" omitted.
It has been a favorite fancy with au
thors to assume fictitious names upon
the initials of their own. Thus, Anne
Bronte wrote as "Action Bell," Charlotte
Bronte as "Currer Bell," and Emily
Bronte as "Ellis Bell." In all the wide
field of literature can three other such
illustrious names be found belonging
to one family? It is a Bcarcely known
fact that Robert Burns was a nom de
plume, the Scotch poet's real name be
ing Robert Burness. but Is has by rlgn:
of usage become the fumily name, as
In the caso of Sir Henry Irving and
Henry M. Stanley,
NAMES THAT MISLEAD,
It Is not unusual for lady writers, who
desire to cultivate a masculine style of
writing and who feel that a good mas
culine name would carry conviction, to
adopt names of the oposite sex. 'Mrs.
Henry Wood used to write as "Johnny
Ludlow," Mrs. Cross immortalized her
self as "George Kllot." Madame Hude
vant, who was no mean factor in the
literary and social circles of tho last
century, as "Georne Sand," and Mr".
Stannard, iwho delights the reading
world with the bright military talcs
of "John Strange Winter."
This is undoubtedly a compliment to
the sterner sex and was gracefully re
turned by Algernon Swinburne when
lw adopted a petticoat for his standard
and signed himself "Mrs. Horace Man
ners." This wits probably occasioned
by Thackeray's comment upon Swin
burne's initials. It is related that
Swinburne wrote some verses in a
young lady's album, to which Thack
eray was asked to contribute. Thack
eray simply wrote "Two-thirds of the
truth," under Swinburne's initials, "A.
S." Sir Arthur Sullivan, the eminent
composer, has dropped his middle nam?.
Seymour, owing to the awkward com
bination of the initial letters of his full
name. Some special circumstances Is
the origin of many well-known names;
for instance, the cry of the leadsman
.when his line marked two fathoms of
water, suggested to Samuel M. Clemens
his world-famous nom de. plume, "Mark
Twain," and the fact that Mile, de m
Ramee's baby sister could not pro
nounce the name Louisa, calling It
"Ouidn," furnished the great author
ess with the popular sobriquet. Oulda's
lirst works were written and published
unknown to her father, whoiwas a strict
moralist, and, unlike his daughter, dtd
not believe In portraying life in fiction
as it really exists.
On one occasion he was reading an
exhaustive review of one of Oulda's
early novels, which for the most part
dll Justice to the genius of the writer,
to the authoress herself. When he had
finished reading the criticism he ex
claimed: "Louisa, never bring another
book from the pen of that miserable
woman 'Oulda' Into the- house!" At
this moment the little sister came
bounding into the room crying "Oulda,
Oulda." Between thie lady's blushes
and smiles occasioned by the flattering
tone of the review and the child's so art
crtently or inadvertently calling out
the new authoress' name. Monster de la
Ramee was undeceived and his daugh
ter had to confess that it was she who
had set the English-speaking public by
the ears because of her original nnd au
dacious novels.
FANCIFUL. NAMES.
Many names, however, are chosen by
individual fancy. Such, for example,
are the "Edna Lyall" of Miss Ada Bay
ley; the "Artemus Ward" of Charles F.
Brown, the "Max O'Rell" of Paul Bloit
et, tho "Henry Irving" of John H.
Brodrlb, and the "Lewis Carroll" of
the Reverend Charles Dodgson, the au
thor of that famous fairy tale, "Alice in
Wonderland." It Is related that Queen
Victoria was so delighted with the
amusing little story that she ordered all
the works of Lewis Carroll procured for
her. Her Majesty's surprise and dis
appointment can be imagined on her re
ceiving a parcel of the mathematical
works of the Reverend C. Dodgson, lec
turer on mathematics, in Christ church,
Oxford.
Authors have sometimes chosen, In
stead of names of persons, real or im
aglnery, gome descriptive phrase or
title, thinking it would lend a special
interest to their work. "A Lady of
England," for example, of Charlotte
M. Tucker, and "A Beselged Resident ot
Paris," acknowledged by Mr. Labou
chere. Many pseudonyms have become
of historical interest, such as the "Icon
oclast" of Mr. Bradlaugh, the "Rttnny
mede" of Lord Beaconsfleld. and the
"Etonian" of Mr. Gladstone. Every
schoolboy knows that Charles Dickens
wrote under the name of "Boz," and
such famous pseudonyms are effectual
ly guarded by literary etiquette; It
would constitute almost a sacrilege for
any person now to appropriate them.
Of course there are hundreds of other
noms de plume of authors more or less
renowned. Among them are "Josh Bill
ings," of Henry W. Shaw, "Hans Brelt
mann" of Charles O. Leland, "Bret
Harte" of Francis B. Hart. "Fanny
Fern" of Mrs. Sarah Willis, "Gail Ham
ilton" of Mary Abigail Dodge, "Grace
Greenwood" of Mrs. Llpplncott, uUt
Man-el' ot Donald O. Mitchell, "Mai Ion
Harlund" of Mary Virginia Terhun,
"Oliver Optic" of William F. Adams,
"Owen Meredith" of Lord Lytton,' and
"Shirley Dare" ot Mrs. Susan Dunning
"Poor Richard" was a favorite nom de
plume of Benjamin - Franklin, and
"Thomas Ingoldsby" of Rev. R. H. Bar
hamjwho wrote the popular and charm
ing "Ingoldsby Legends."
A DI BLIX VIEW OF FREE TRADE.
Eagland Losing Her Comnierriul Sn
premacy to Protective Nations.
From the Irish (Dublin) Independent.
Free trade, instead of showing any
Indication of extension on the eve of its
jubilee celebrations. Is rather on its
trial. During the fifty years it has ex
isted In these islands It has made no
progress elsewhere. In fact, the leading
commercial nations are more strongly
In favor of protection now than they
have been for some time. France Is a
case in point, and in the United States
the indications are all in favor of a vic
tory for Mr. McKlnley In the presiden
tial election, mainly because that
gentleman is in favor of a high tariff.
Germany is also an anti-free trade
country, and is utilizing protection at
home for the purpose of flooding the
British and Irish markets with "made
in Germany" goods, besides competing
with the British in all parts of the
world.
A foreign office report just issued
shows that British trade Is rapidly de
clining in Austria under the operation
of the existing tariff laws of that
country. In fact, the best markets in
Europe are, to a great and expanding
extent, closed to British manufactur
ers, while in the markets of South
America, Africa and the east, tho
United States, Germany and France
are taking away a very large portion
of the trade formerly monopolized by
Great Britain, while Japan is becom
ing a very serious competitor to the na
tions of the west.
England is finding no new fields for
Its ware, and how long Its manufactur
ers can successfully compete with for
eigners is a question that Is not open
to much doubt. They cannot fight
against the serious odds much longer,
and no matter how loudly free trade
doctrines may be proclaimed, ar.d 110
matter how sound they may be In
principle, yet It is quite on the cards
that Cobden's ideas will be 'seriously
modified In practice before the jubilee
of free trade had been long passed over.
There Is no doubt but that the pro
tective Ideas In one shape or another
are growing in strength, even amongst
the working classes, and It need sur
prise 110 one if. even within the next few
years. It is seriously proposed that the
system of trade which now prevails
should be modltled, and fair trade be
established us a measure of retaliation
