THE SCRANTON TRIBUiNE- SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1899. 11 5SOWO)l:)KJJg The Adams Affair g SS5XSSiSS055 3 if no tf a-.gr- s Ott DON'T MEAN to W Sa tell mo your brotlyir m W wn hern?" "Is It i.)3sl'jlu tint your sister Is with you?" They hud coniu up on one another sud denly round an angle In the hall and they hnd greeted one nnother In the above words In ncccnts of Indignant consternation. Their ejaculations, having been simultaneous, were fol lowed by a pause, ami then by com mon consent they moved Into the emp ty library, the door of which stood conveniently ajar. She spolco first. She was a dark girl, short and sturdy looking, but with that nameless nif nbout her which Is only produced by a long line of well-bred ancestors. "Why have you not taken him yachting?" she demanded brusquely. "Because he would not go." he re turned. His tone was as hostile as her own, and his face showed his an noyance even more cleaily. He wos a man of rfbout thirty, apparentl Just off a Journey. "Why are you not at Davos?" "Because oh what does It matter'.'"' she answered wrathfully. Were do ing these country house vl!ti first. How long are you staying here'." "A week " "So are we1" she returned. "What an abominable nuisance!" His face blushed slightly, even though his expression conveyed a hearty endorsement of the words. In truth, the pair were somewhat to be pitied. The case was this: Ralph Adams and his brother Valentine were new comers Into the London world. They were fabulously rich, well educated and well bred; nnd the fact that their wealth had been bequeathed to them by a more or less Impossible father long deceased who had made his for tune In what was vaguely alluded tj as "oil or tallow, or something of that kind," did not prevent their being ex ceedingly popular. Pamela Knollys and her sister Sylvia were by no means new-comers in London society. Hut various causes their father's death and their mother's Illness among them, had kept them from regular London seasons This year a charitable aunt had roused herself to declare that something must be done and had 'taken the girls for a season," as she expressed It. What law of attraction operated be tween Sylvia Knollys and Valentine Adams it Is impossible to say. The fact remains that they "spooned" through the season like a pair of chil dren In their teens. It would have been an e xcellent match from some points of view he had money and she had family, he was a "dear fellow" and she was "a sweet girl." All the friends on either side smiled a little broadly, perhaps, on the prospective enijuRomPiit, with the exception of his elder brother and her younger sister. In Pamela's eyes Sylvia was the most beautiful and charming creature on the face of the earth. In consider ing the "Adams affair" her mind never dwelt upon the fact that Sylvia was seven-and-twenty. All her energies concentrated themselves on the fact that Valentine Adams was barelv twenty-one. "A mere boy!" she had exDostulated Indignantly with her sister. "Svlvla, you would be utterly wretched! You shan't do It'" Ralph Adams, on the other hand, had no Illusions with regard to his brother. He was well aware that he was Im pulsive, unformed and fickle. But he passed over these items as comtiara tlvely unimportant compared with the fact that Sylvia was seven years Val entine's senior. "It's madness!" he declared hotlv. "Why, she will be a middle-aged wo man while you are still a boy! Don't be an ass, Val!" Pamela Knollys and Ralnh Adams early became aware of their common eentlments on the subject. That Is to say, they became aware that each was determined to prevent the mar riage But neither cared to give form to the motive underlying his or her de termination. It was reserved, there fore, for the gossip of a mutual friend to supply a motive, thus: Miss Pa mela Knolly considered, it appears, that Mr Valentine Adams' birth nut him altogether out of court as a suitor for her sister- and Mr. Ralph Adams, on the other hand, had stumg feelings (s to th mistaken policy of allying oneself with old and worn-out families There had been from the first a touch of undefined enmity In the relations of the two and they accepted the atti tude of antagonism thus provided for them with alacrity. They were agreed, but there was a difference In ttnlr agreement. They had worked through out the season to the same end, but with unabated mutual hostility. "I suppose you know that a week here will be worse than a month in town?" Pamela threw the words over her shoulder, and Ralph Adams made a grim eresture of assent. "You musn't lose sight of your broth er for a moment, that'B all!" she con tinued. "By-the-bye" faclnc round "whole Is he now 7" "Where Is your sister, may I ask'" was the vlndlctK'C response. There was no direct reply to this. A sound of voices rose In the hall. A girlish figure In white flitted past the door, and Pamela dashed hastily af ter It, taking no notice of Vnlentlno Adams as ho entered the llbrarv, ex cept Inasmuch ns her hurried exit near ly knocked him down. Valentine was a remarkably coocl looklng boy, very carefully and scrupu lously got up. He sauntered to a table and took up a paper. "Mav I Inquire whether you lenpw MlfcS Knollys and her sister were to be here, Val?" observed his brother, with ominous calm. Valentine lifted his eyes vaguely. "Eh?" he said: "Did I Oh, yes, by-the-bye, I think I did." "Then you are the biggest fool out that's nil I have to sav." "Oh, no, it Isn't!" was the nonchal ant answer. "You've lots more to say. But It's nwfully sensible of you not to say It!" "Pshaw1" remarked Ralph In the finest "old style" and stalked out of the room. The other mentor, meanwhile, was faring very little better. Sylvia Knol lys was one of those weak and gentlu personalities on whom argument Is thrown away. "Yes, Pam, I knew he was coming," she ?ald composedly. "I didn't say anything because I know you don't like him." "I don't think at all about him," said Pamela. She paused, a moment, and then said, aparently experiment ally, "Freddy Cholmondelely was worm twenty ot tins uoy. "Freddy Cholmondeley was tire some," answered Sylvia, petulantly; "and Val is ever so much 1 Ichor." Bhe added, parenthetically. Pamela stamped her small foot ve hemently. "I'm ashamed of you, Syl via!" she said. "I would never have believed that you could marry for money!" "He hasn't asked me to marry him yet, said Sylvia; "and when he does, I shall marry him for love, Pam." "Pooh!" said Pam. The house party was a large and a merry one. But the lives led by Ralph Adams and Pamela Knollys dur ing the next five days was hardly to be envied by the veriest slave. From early morn to dewy eve they were on duty. Their own tastes and inclina tions passed into oblivion. They lived only, it appeared, to participate in the amusements of their respective brother and sister, Valentine developed a pas sion for early rising; and Ralph heroi cally rose at 6 o'clock and followed, literally, in his footsteps. Sylvia Knollys carile to the conclusion that there was nothing so delightful as a day with the guns; nnd Pamela qulto forgot that she had always hated "that kind of thing, and tramped miles, un complaining, but very tired, since her sturdy-looking frame was by no means so robust as the much slighter figure of her sister. "Really, Pam, this new craze of yours for sport will wear you to a shadow," said the other women stay ing In the house. And they spoke, as a rule, with a wicked laugh In their eyes, for It was not the least among the trial of this devoted pair of guar dian nng"els that their proceedings were perfectly understood by all observers It was very unfortunate, under thej circumstances, Mint they could find no balm In fellow-feeling: and, taken from the standpoint of mere physical ease, the antagonism between them doubled their fatigues. A mutual understanding, a little tacit j agreement, and one might have rested ' while the other watched But this wai , not to be. The trials through which thev were passing seemed to exacer- bate their tempers, and, so far from j acting harmony, they were hardly able I to speak civilly to ono another. It Is to be observed In extenuation that they were constantly thrown together undar peculiarly ttylng circumstances. In spite of all their vigilance, the, couple under supervision constantly eluded them, and they would then turn and rend one aother. There was one appalling evening when their hostesc sent Sylvia and Valentino Into dinner together, and then compli cated matters by pairing Pamela and Ralph, seating the two couples at op posite sides. "Never saw your pretty sister loolc co charming, If 1 may say ho," said the man on Pamela's right, lie was a new-comer, nnd It was not until later on that he understood why Pamela abruptly turned her back on him. He could hardly have supposed that It was because she wished to hold con verse with Ralph Adams, for three courses went by before ho or she ex changed a word. Then, under cover of a general burst of laughter, through which Sylvia and Valentine remained absorbed In one another's conversa tion, Ralph Adams said, savagely: "We don't do much good by watching what we can't prevent. Don't you think we should make ourselves less ridiculous If wo exchanged a few words as dinner went on?" Pamela started, and flushed angrily. "I don't care In the least whether I'm ridiculous or not," she retorted. "Every ono knows what I think about It, and I'm not at all ashamed!" On the following day following this a long bicycle expedition was organ ized. Valentine and Sylvia were excel lent riders, and they, of course, would be In the "first flight." "You'll come, I suppose, Adams?" said the organizer In a tone of bland unconsciousness. "And you, Miss Pamela? That's all right!" The goal of the ride was a ruined castle some ten miles awav. No one was very certain as to the right road, and there was a good deal of ortn moorlii'. to be traversed v'ih Innum erable toads, all In mote or less poor condition. The party naturally di vided and sub-divided, and so It c.imo to pass that at about G o'clock In the afternoon the expedition having set forth at 10 Ralph Adams, having hopelessly lost sight not only of Sylvia and Valentine, but of the entire com pany, came upon a forlorn little figure sitting on a bank In a lane. Ralph Adams was on his feet In an lnsant. "Good heavens, Miss Knollys!" he said and, singular to relate, his breathless tones were quite destitute of hostility you're not hurt?" Pamela lifted a little white face and sprang fiercely to her feet. "Hurt!" she said. "No, of course, I'm not hurt. But that Idiotic tyre Is punctured, and oh, you don't mean to say you are not with them?" The despairing Indlgnutton of her v i did not constitute a flattering reception. No man cares to have hi flag of truce flung roughly aside and Ralph bent over the damaged blcyclo with a singularly grim expression of countenance. "I lost sight of my brother, I re gret to say, about five hours ngo," he said. SOVEREIGN REMEDIES Conquer nil pains and dis eases that the flesh is heir to. Not Built on Faith. Haro Cured Thousands.

Uuller has seen no active service since then, but ho has been continu ously employed, nnd has shown his abounding worth In moro than In his war record, He was on the headquar ters staff In Pall Mall for nearly fif teen years at a stretch.servlng through all the senior grades, until, at the last, ho all but ciowncd tho edifice by se curing the highest post of all. It Is no secret now that In 1S9S Sir H. Cnmpbell-Rannermaii Intended him to succeed the ukc of Cambridge ns commander In chief, and that only the sudden collapse of the liberal cabinet prevented nn act whleh, despite Bul ler's merits, would have been a grave Injustice to Iord Wolseley. At n timo like the present, when he Is about to assume charge of what should eventu ally bo one of the best found armies that have left these shores, It Is satis factory to know that Uuller has all tho threads of army administration at his fingers' ends. He is not of the class which essays to do all the wotk himself, but his In timate acquaintance with every detail will net both as a check and stimulus to his subordinates. And he wl.i be well and loyally served, for he has tho knack of getting the best out of men. All who are brought In contact with him learn soon to respect him. Whnt though his manner may eem cold, harsh, even repellent, his speech often sharp n,nd abijupt, his brief, pithy written memoranda, when they tear through wasted verbiage and fix unon the essence of a question, may be caus tic, occasionally cruel; yet Is he frrelv forgiven because of what Is behind. Buller, withal, is at heart one of the kindliest of souls: he Is Intolerant of shams, and will have naught to do with Imposture, but he is never un teasonably hard on any one, and will seldom exact the full penalty from any "poor devil" who, as he would say him self, cannot really be blamed "because he Is a fool." No doubt the ready sup port and allegiance he will always command are largely due to the firm conviction entertained by all that 1i So I thousht. nursued Pamela, "be fore you went I K-ould just like to say Is perfectly straightforward: he Plavs that I'm sorry for the times when I've . no personal game, nis ono raiding nrin- been unnecessarily rude to you.

"Quite!" she returned a trllle Incc herently. "Well, pood-lixe!" Presumably as a token of penitence elple Is to do the best with his means and with his whole heart and soul for the good of the country and the service. TWENTY YEARS AOO. For The TrILune.

Write to the ERIE MEDICAL COMPANY, iSuffalo, N. Y., and uk for the little book called " COMPLETE MANHOOD." who was Introduced to Ralph Adams ns "Sir Frederick Cholmondeley, who Is staying with nelghbcis of ours." Pamela was taken In by Sir Frederick Cholmondeley, and she appeared to find his conversation thoroughly de lightful. It was Valentine Adtms gn whom the mantle of her depression seemed to have fallen. Ho had an air of haggard gloom which he cultivated assiduously. Sylvia was seated on the same side of the tanle, separated from Valentine by three or four places. Sb' wns looking unt"ually sweet and pret ty and a little shy. Ralph Adams surveyed the company with grlrn Incomprehension, anJ awaited developments. Nothing oc curred to enlighten him in the Inter val after the woman left the dining room. Valentine avoided him point edly. Ralph had withdrawn to n de serted corner of the conservatory nn.l was ther smoking gloomily, when an unusually small voice at his elbow made him start. "Mr. Adorns!" It was Pamela Knollys, and he rose. . "Yes, Miss Knollys?" he said stiffly. "I thought I should like to tell you I think you will be glad to hear that that Sylvia Is engaged." Ralph Adams paused a moment. "You nre speaking Ironically, of course," he said. "We are both aware that we don't approve of the connec- tlonl I really don't know what you expect me to say." "It's not your brother!" The small voice was more uncertain than ever. "It's we met Sir Frederick Cholmon deley at Cannes last year and we saw a good deal of him and and It Is he'" "Good heavens!" ejaculated Ralph Adams, nnd for the moment he said; no more. Then he added In a tone of blank be wilderment: "But when? how? I beg your pardon! Of course It's no aft fair of mine!" "They met him this afternoon with the people he Is staying with, close to their place, and they went In to have tea, And he came back here with them nnd and I always did believe she cared for him. She has behaved very badly." "Good heavens!" ejaculated Rulph Adams sgaln. There was a pause, during which he has done much nnd genernly well. Now he Is called to the most coveted, If not the highest, post that can be conferred upon a British officer, the command of of a large expeditionary army In the field. He is not in his first youth, but he carries his sixty years lightly; very varied and eventful service has not laid Its weight on him: his figure has lost Its sllmness, but not its activity, and Buller still rides In tho first flight with the hounds: his brain power, too, nlways of the (list order. Is quite un impaired. Strength, solidity, unfailing self-reliance self-confidence It might be called, until wide and onerous re sponsibility taught him better are his most striking characteristics, plainly seen In hU rather austere, impasslvi face, plainly proved by his attitude In trying situations, and his successful conduct ot arduous affairs. Buller won his first laurels In Ashantl. ulthough he had already seen war In China and on the Red river. REPUTATION BEGUN. It was In Ashantl that he Justified Wolseley's keen Insight Into character, and established hts reputation as n young ofllcer who would cer.talnly come triumphantly through any nnd every task with which he might be in trusted. After Ashantl he made ac quaintance with the country In which he Is now to play such a momentous role; his name Is one to conjure with at the Cape, and there will bo many veterans In South Africa who will hall with enthusiasm the return of their dashing commander In tho famous Frontier Horse; the man who asiced no one to venture his skin whero he would not thrust his own, and who re peatedly risked his own life to save those of comrades sorely presseu by savage foes. Buller gave earnest then of what ho has since abundantly con firmed, his capacity for troop leading: his tactical skill Is Instinctive; he can handle men -with a promptitude and precision born of natural gifts devel oped by training and experience. The best generals might have been pardon ably proud of the calm, wise control ho exercised In tho most critical moment nt Tnmal and El Teb. It was Buller's skillful manoeuverlng, promptly con ceived and resolutely carried, that saved the shaken squares in those hard fought engagements.
