"What! Breaking up?" the caller asked, peering through a lighted doorway. He bad been obliged to announce himself In some way. for the occupant of the room sat on the floor with his ba«k to the entrance and evidenced no Inten tion of turning to greet hla visitor. "Scott, your manners are beastly," was the Intruder's next remark as he threaded his way through the maze of household wreckage that made Ingress difficult At this the broad shoulders turned Quickly, and In a moment Seott was sbaklug hla friend's band in a manner so hearty that Wlllanghby for gave the boorisbness of bis first greet ing. "Sit down, old man. If yon ebn find a place. Yes. we are breaking up, as you call It" and the speaker swept his arms in a liopeless way over the con fusion of books, pictures and bachelor bric-a-brac. "Where Is 'the boy?" " asked the call er. "Cleared out," was Scott's short re ply as he turned to light his pipe and rummage about for another for his friend. "You haven't quarreled, have you?" Willoughby Inquired quickly, for when be left the city a year ago Scott and "the boy" had Just taken the apart ment that was now being dismantled, and the two were apparently settled for some time. "How lo;ig have you been In town?" Scott asked instead of answering Wll loughby's question. "Got here at 3 o'clock. I kad to stop at Washington yesterday to make a re port ajid came over this morning. I tell you It's good to get back even for 30 days. The fun of soldiering In Cuba is all over. There Is nothing but man ual labor to do there now." Then he added after a moment's hesitation, "I wouldn't have left, though, on any other errand than the one that brought me here." "Official, I suppose V "No," replied Willoughby; "on the contrary, quite the revise." Scott mumbled something and look ed so absurdly unhappy that the young soldier laughed outright "What is the trouble, old man? Has some one bothered you •with a retainer? Yo» say Harrison has cleared out. What Is It all about? Don't sit there looking at me In that lugubrious fash ion. Out with It" "The boy and I haven't quarreled," Scott answered after a few futile pulls at his pipe. "I Jawed him a bit for leaving me with these confounded rooms on my Bands, but there was no row. He has changed his plan®— living over in Jersey someWh»r»—Cranford, I believe." "Ob, Cranford," was tb« lieutenant's observation, seemingly to himself, as he recalled that the object of bis er rand lived at the "next stop." "And that's what makes you so glum. Is It?" "Not exactly." Scott spoke now with the tone of A man who has formed a resolution to perform a hateful duty. "If you will find a seat somewhere and light that pipe, I'll tell you about It Fact is, my boy, you are In this story Jb a way." Wlllougbby's expression was & com posite of mystification and uneasiness, but he only waved his band as a signal that his friend should proceed. This was Just what he did not seem ready to do. "For heaven's sake. If yon bave any thing to say," Willoughby finally re marked rather peevishly, "say itl" "Harrison Is going to marry Miss Mead," Scott said suddenly, being care ful, however, not to look at his listener. When he had imparted this informa tion, he seemed to be able to go ahead without any further delay. "I'll tell f'ou how It happened—tb« «i^gement, 1 mean. The boy has known her a long time; ever since he came to New York. First girl he ever met, and he was In love with her from the moment be was Introduced. Bays he was, any way. But Harrison, you know, is a queer sort of chap. Has no Idea of his worth and nil that. He Isn't half 'push ful' enough to get along in this world with men, let alon* women. He thought Ulns Mead'would never lodk ot Mm. and I tuppose she took him at •J.!' Oil. Women are apt to uj I. ... . .. l-.iow. At any rate, he made no progress. You know what I mean. 1 tin telling you the results of Kiy observations. Harrison never said anything 4'iout K. "Well, after Miss Mead met you at Tampa last year the boy's chances seemed to dwindle to nothing." "It seems to ma you are making a long (itwry u* it," said Willoughby. "Can't you cut it?" "Bettor let me go on, I guess. Now I've told you how the enso stood when Hits Mead came north last year." The listener made another move to protest <H'a I list tlie form the narrative had taken, but realizing that his tor mentor knew no other way of telling what he had made up his mind to say Willoughby settled back again. "Three or four months after we had been reading in the newspapers about your work in Cuba Herrison was drawn on a Jury." A groan from Wil- loughby announced hla daspalr at this new digression, but Seott weit on without a pause: "You will see the connection later. 1 helped him kill time wLS.«i ;.e waited to be called, aid when be was finally drawn I was there as regularly as the Judge. ! have forgotten the title of the case they put him on. It Mas the heiru of somebody against a man named Stevens, who held a lot of property that was claimed by the heirs under a will. Stevens claimed under a deed, uud the suit was brought to set aside the deed oil the grouud that it was obtained by fraud. "When the lawyers on each side went • hrough the form of asking the jury men If they knew any of the interested parties to the suit, I saw Harrison shake his head In a bored way. To cut this part short, Miss Mead walked into the courtroom on the second day of the trial. Harrison told me afterward that he knew In an Instant that she was in terested in tin* case. Befol'r lie left the box that day he asked to be allowed to ueu one of the exhibit*, slid, reading the caption, bv found that his intuition had been correct. I believe Miss Mead had been uiade a party to the *uit aft er it had been Lectin hi a lower court, and her i..::... did not appear In the llsi wLiiih tiie lawyers i.ead when they polled the Jury. "We talked the matter over that evening, x:.d cf course I advised the boy to explain to the court that he bad discovered s.jice iLc iilal began Hint be was acquainted with cue of the plain tiffs In the iter 1 have not been able to make up :-y u.:nd as to why be In sisted upon s•• I'i. - on with the trial. 1 explained to kiiu that it was a very risky thing to do. He always was bull beaded, though, wheu he made up his mind. "Miss Mead did uot come to the courtroom again until the last day of the trial. The 1A .vyers strung it tut for two weeks. It was a very close case. I would never have decided it either way. It had been fought by skilled lawyers from the start, and they had succeeded in keeping everything off the record that t.ctild throw light on the questions at issue. There was some thing like $20,000 or $30,000 in it for each of the heirs under the will. These heirs were uieces of the original bene ficiary, but that hasn't anything to do with this story. Miss Mead is not rich, I believe," the narrator added reflect ively. "As I have told you. Miss Mead was on hand to hear the lawyers sum up on the last day of the trial. She took good «ire not to sit where Harrison could see here, but he passed within ten Inches of her when the 12 men filed out to the jury room. It was a long uneasy wait for me while that jury 'de liberated.' as the newspapers say. Har rison was the foreman, and when he got up to deliver the verdict I could feel my heart beating 'way up In my throat' " "Go on, go on," Willoughby urged as Seott paused at the recollection of how his heart acted on this occasion. "Well, the Jury decided against the heirs at every point. Stevens had sev eral deeds, and every one was sustain ed. The heirs didn't get a shilling. Miss Mead had left the room by the time the Jury was discharged." "By Jo' el" Inanely remarked the listener. "Yes, sir. and Harrison told me he had a hard time persuading two of the jurymen to decide against the —against her." "But I don't quite see"— Wllleughby began. "Of course you don't, my brave sol dier boy. I am coming to that now. "Harrison, mind you, had not seen Miss Mead for the two weeks, except on fhose two days during the trial, and he did not hurry about calling after the verdict. I thluk that It was a week later that we all mot at the theater, a great piece of luck for the I can't fell you exactly how they straightened the matter out. Perhaps It didn't need any straightening, but way ba«k In the box toward the end of the show I heard Miss Mead say, half soberly and half laughingly, 'There are all sorts of courage,' and when we got home"— "I think that's enough, Scott, if you don't mind. Where can I find the sail ing of the Havana boat?" "I was afraid of that," said Seott— St. Louis Republic. A Warm Family. "Yes, It certainly la a warm family.

About the year 70 B. C. Mlthridates, king of Cappadocla, one of the most Ingenious and able princes of the time, invented the first mill driven by water. This triumph of his skill and Ingenuity he caused to be erected In the imme diate vicinity of the royal palace. In the course of time th? Cappadocian bakers became celebrated and were In great demand throughout all parts of the world as then known. These mills were usually placed tip on boats on the river, being so derated and contrived as to be easily driven by the water, and the millers were thus enabled to move from place to place, distributing the meal to their custom ers.

Lewis. ♦ ♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦*♦ Singapore is a city having dealings in one way or another with every peo ple to the north, east »outb and west of It, Including all the larger islands. Money readies Slugapore by the boat load nnd is distributed as liberally. It is a sort of clearing honse for the east, and the Malay and th* Javanese jostle against the American and the Holland er at the counters of the banking houses. For live years I wae what Is called the transfer agent at Singapore. Pro vided with a steam lauueLi and a trusty crew, I received or sriit uut all the hard money arriving nnd departing ICx eept in case of four or five lines of steamers, no money hi received at the wharf. All the native craft lie at an chor to discharge or receive. There are several reasons for this, but the nin'n one is lo save tlgn# at the banking houses. The inoae.v will arrive in bags or boxes and Is in copyrr. brass, sil ver and K"ld. It has li»»n counted and tagg >l. but it must L>« over again. A Malay Cbinauiau or a Borneo trader would rob his blind grandmother. If he has tngged a box "11,000." you can be sure that it is short from S3O to SIOO. Assisted by two elerks, I board ed the craft and receuuted, ntfagged and resealed the treasure and. after giving a certificate of the correct amount, loaded It In tba launch and de posited it on shore. My work was anything but easy. Every consignment carried counterfeit coins to be worked off on me, and ev ery native was up to all kinds of tricks to come out ahead. Under the law I had a great deal of power, but there were scores of ways In which I could be delayed and annoyed. Of all the people I encountered the Chinese were the worst for trickery. There are plen ty of honest Chinese traders located at Singapore, ns honest as the same num ber of foreigners, but as to the Chinese afloat I never met a square man. I found each and every one to be the slickest kind of liar and swindler. What par ported to be silver bars would turn out to be lead thinly coated, gold ingots would be a deception and a snare, and they would even go to the pains of counterfeiting such cheap coins that It takes 22 of them to make an American cent It was stipulated in my bond that I should make good all losses aris ing through any carelessness of count ing or handling, and there was never a moment when my vigilance could be relaxed. Almost at the beginning of my career I had business with a Chinese trader named Whang Ton. That was the name he gave, and he pretended to deal In honest goods, but I have no doubt he was an out and out pirate. He came into the port about three times a year, and he had ten tlm s too much money aboard for an honest trad er. He never disputed my count or tried to work off bad coin on me and in this was an exception. He won my gratitude if not my respect in this mat ter, and after having dealt with him three or four times I ceased to wttch him for tricks. In three years he camo into port at least 12 times, and he never brought less than $30,000 wortL of stuff. He did not always have the same Junk, but his men were always the same. His money was of all GAtlons and all coinage, and it was faDr to believe that he robbed all alike. As there were no charges against him 1 did not think best to say anything ashore, and so Whang Ton arrived and departed with out let or hindrance. On what turned out to be his last visit, so far as I know, he brought only about SIO,OOO to be exchanged, and he Informed me that he had decided to leave the sea and settle down ashore. He wns more com municative than I had ever known him to be before, but there were oply two or three points I renjttabered after ward. One was his retirement from trade, and the other was about a Phil ippine craft lying astern of him. She had Brought in $28,000 to be exchang ed, and I w»s to put the money aboard of her that evening. He asked many questions about her, as I remembered later, and I answered all as far as I could and gave no weight to the mat ter. While I received and shipped mostly between 0 o'clock a. m. and 5 o'clock p. m., it happened now and then that a craft wanted to sail after hours, and so I stretched a point in her favor and charged a percentage. This percentage was to cover my increased risk. In the case of the Philippine craft the money was to be on board at C o'clock, which was an hour after dark at that season of the year. It was placed In the launch at 4:30, and 1 steamed out to a Malay craft and counted and re sealed the $28,000 she had aboard. Then 1 spent 15 minutes talking with the captain of an American whaler and was ready to run down and get rid of niy cargo. I had to puss Whang Ton's Junk en route, and he was on the look out for me. lie said he had overlooked a box containing about a thousand dol lars and was anxious to have it count ed and credited with the rest. As he had a basket of wine and a box of ci gars for me, I could not well refuse, and I went aboard with my two clerks to rush the count through. Five armed men were left In the launch, and I had no anxiety. We had counted half the money and old Whang Ton was stand ing by with a grin on his face when five or six natives who had sneaked in to the cabin suddenly flung themselves upon us, and we were made prisoners. At the same moment a dozen of the crew dropped over the rail Into the launch and made a fierce attack, and In two minutes she was captured and her crew passed up. Then followed the treasure, and as the launch was se cured alongside the Junk lifted anchor and set sail for the north. The bold ness of the trick compelled success. The old pirate smilingly Informed me that no one would be hurt and that his only object was the money, and after 1 had got over swearing and threaten ing and realized my helplessness we got fairly well together. It was 110 one's business to question the JunK, and as she liud a fair wiud she reeled off the tulles until midnight and then ran close to the Spanish Island and set us ashore and towed our launch after us. Our boat was stripped of arms and coal, and all we could do was to find an anchorage for her and wait to be taken off. It was 3 o'clock next day before this event happened and six hours later when we reached Singa pore. Of course a searching vessel was sent out, and later on old Whang Ton was hunted for high and low, but he somehow got clear off with every dollar of that money and settled down somewhere to live on the fat of the land. Female Bird Rales. Among several species of the birds of prey a deference for the female sex Is shown'which is not met with In the great majority of the feathered kind, declares nil ardent student of the ways of birds and beasts. He says: "Several years ago It was my fortune to capture two young eagles of the baldliead species. When meat was thrown Into the room where they were confined, the male showed plainly how great wns his desire to pounce upon it, but a glance from his sister was suffi cient to keep him rooted to the perch until she had finished. When beef and other similar meals were given them, this easy victory for the fair sex was the rule, but when a fish was Intro duced it was only after a fierce fight that the female succeeded in remind ing her brother of the respect due her. "A pair of young great horned owls which I at one time owned had also dis played this female domination. I fed them principally on live rats, and when they were turned loose in the room the male retained a stolid and Indifferent pose upon his perch until the female had satisfied her hunger, after which he would dispatch what was left. Many other are the instances among the ea gles. hawks and owls In which the fe male bird is the master of the situa tion."—Baltimore Sun. There \Vn» No Duel.
