O'O'O'C \ LIEUTENANT I HINDS »»». S £ A. PAGE .<>»0"0-*0*0.00 • o-o—o-o—o • 6 The well groomed and picturesque young girl who had just ascended the imposing flight of stone steps leading to the northern entrance of the state, war and navy department building in Washington paused at the watchman's desk Just inside the massive doorway. "1 wish to send a card to Lieutenant John ninds of the navy department," she said, with just u tinge of the aris toeratlc arrogance often to be found within the exclusive circles of army and navy official society. The watchman pondered. "Don't re member the name, miss," he said, scratching his head. "Are you sure It's the navy and not the army?" "Of course 1 aui the uavy." "We!! take a chair, miss, and I'll look through the navy register. I thought 1 knew most of 'em. but some times a new one comes from China or the Philippines, where he's won a com mission, without ever entering this here department building." "Lieutenant Hinds has not been away from Washington in four years, aid the young lady. "It seems strange ye i i'o not know him." "No : uch name." declared the guard ..HI of the door, slamming the naval i ;is!er s!i "Aiid let me tell you. mi -. you must have the name wrong, si.. • if he rt in the naval register he ain't any lieutenant in the navy of \ our I nele Samuel." The young lady became visibly an noyed. "Kindly direct me to your superior." she said decidedly. "I have made no mistake in the name. It is Lieutenant John Hinds of the navy. He told me so himself." "Well, if you are so sure. It ain't for me to say you're wrong," was the kind ly answer. "You might see the chief clerk down that corridor to the left." "Thank you." was the reply, and the young lady, evidently relieved, started in the direction Indicated. She turned the corner into the long and dimly illu minated corridor on the navy depart ment side and ran plump into a young man who was acting as the motive power for a rubber wheeled truck load ed with Several stacks of books. "I —I f.-sure you—l beg your par don"— he began. "Oh— forgive me—it is so dark"— she began. Then "Why, Jack, here you are!" The man tit ••red an exclamation of surprise and annoyance. "The deuce"— he began. "Why. llettie, what are you doing here?" "I wanted to see you," she com menced, "and I couldn't wait until aft er office hours. You see"— "But, confound it," began the man— "l mean, forgive me. Only you know I always said I hated to receive visit ors at the office." "I know. J.ck, but mother is ill. You left the house before 1 came down to breakfast. Mother was worried about the boarders and was afraid they'd all leave when they heard she was sick. If you stay, they will all remain, be cause they all like you. Besides"— "Besides what, llettie?" "Well, I've been thinking about last night and the future—and—well, you know, I just couldn't stay away from you." "The dearest little woman in the world," he responded tenderly. "I was a brute to speak so t<> you, but I was surprised at seeing you hero the tlrst time, and, besides, these books must be taken Immediately to the secreta ry." "Why, John," said the girl, "are you carrying books and pulling that truck? 1 always thought lieutenants and naval officers had men to do things for them. And do you know that horrid man at the door didn't know you and said there wasn't any Lieutenant Hinds." "My dear girl," hurriedly ejaculated the young man, "do you mean to say you have been asking in this build ing for me? Why in the world"— "Oh, I'm sorry I came now," mur mured the girl, with it suggestion of a sob. "I thought that my own lieuten ant of the navy would be glad to see me." "Of course I am," said the man tenderly, yet anxiously. "There, for give me, and I'll explain- this evening why I must not have any one calling here at the office. The secretary be comes simply furious if any of the clerks—l mean any one—receives com pany. Even now I am late, and the ve< rot:iry wants thmsc books. Goodby, dear. until this evening." The girl turned to go. A resonant footstep on the marble floor of the al most deserted corridor Interrupted them. A tall and dignltied man strode j by them in tlie somhlarkness. By the | feeble electric light he saw the two | people and the truck of books. "Hinds," broke in a stern and com- j manding voice, "take those books at i once to the office. When you have done 1 so, I wish to see you." And the sec-! rotary of the navy continued on his ; way. "Oh, Lord!" cried the man. "I'm done for now! That was the secretary, ltun along, qul< k. I must go." "If you go, so will I. And I shall tell this secret ar\ what I think of him for being so rude to you. I see noth ing wrong in your speaking to me." The man turned "Wait for me here. 1 might as well face the music at once." And, grabbing the handle of the truck, lie strode rapidly after the vanishing figure of the secretary. lie reached the out-rsiaiid that 1 do not ap prove of strange ladies or any kind of ladies visiting men in office. I don't care who the lady is, and 1 don't wish to know. I just want you to under stand"— "But you shall know who the lady Is," broke in an Indignant voice. "I am Miss liettie Neville, and I am the fiancee of Lieutenant John Hinds of the United Slates navy." The secretary seemed puzzled. Hinds sank Into a chair. The secretary was the tirst t,o speak. "My dear young lady, I do not know how you entered here or why you are so Indignant toward me. Ido not wish to seem to criticise your conduct, but Hinds here has always been one of my most faithful aids, and 1 do not wish him to set a bad example to the others lu the office." "Do you call getting married a ha** example?" cried llettie. "Why should you find fault with Lieut>nant 11iml> if his affianced wife wishes to speak to him for a few moments';" "Lieutenant Hinds?" repeated )!• seeretary politely. "1 do not km. < any such lieutenant." "No sueh lieutenant:" was the amazed ejaculation. "Why, here is Lieutenant Hinds before you." The secretary leaned back in his chair, laughing. Hinds seemed enibur rassed. lletlie was becoming more and more angry. Hinds broke in: "I am very sorry, Mr. Secretary," he commenced, rising to his feet, "but I have an unpleasant confession to make. You see, sir, when I tirst got my job hero some years ago we messengers in the department fell to calling each oth er b\ titles, the same as the officers. Three or four of us lived in the same boarding house, and just for a lark we used these handles at the dinner table. Then I moved to the house kept by Miss Ilettie's mother, and the very lirst day one of my.-'chuins took dlliUer with me. All through the meal he kept on using that Infernal 'lieutenant.' 1 never thought any harm would come of it. so I never contradicted it. I never intend ed to deceive you, llettie, and 1 was going to tell you all about it tonight. I'll never do it again, sir. and If Miss llettie will accept a £'.hio a year mes Hcnger of the navy department instead of a real lieutenant, why. sir, I'll prom ise she will never again interrupt me when I'm carrying your books." The secretary was smiling. "And will Miss llettie accept the S9OO a yeai messenger?" he asked. "Oil. sir," cried llettie. "indeed she will, and she's very sorry she was so rude." The secretary took up a pen and commenced to write. "Then that s all settled." he said "Now. 'Lieutenant John Hinds, take this paper to the ap pointment clerk. You are placed on the rolls as u special clerk at §1.200 and are detailed for duty in my private office. I wish you good morning. Per mit me to congratulate you both." Periqae Slroiic n* In many of the tobacconists' shops peri que tobacco chopped into granu lated form is displayed for use by pipe smokers. This is the same perique that has been grown by Frenchmen and Spaniards in Louisiana since before our Revolutionary war. It is a jet black. Intensely strong tobacco, famous lor Its flavor and its ability to wreck the nerves. It Is grown and made in St. James parish, Louisiana, and the crop only amounts to about 100.000 pounds a year. The makers follow the primitive processes which were in use 150 years ago. The stems are taken from the leaves and the latter put into a box under a heavy gradual pressure. This causes ttie juice to run out, even through the wood of the boxes. A gradual process of fermentation and curing takes place. At the end of three months the to bacco is rolled Into "carrots" and wrap ped in cloths tightly bound with roi>es. It Is left in that way for a year before It is ready for market. The flavor of perique is considered delicious by all pipe smokers, but Is too strong. The tendency of smokers is continually toward lighter and lighter tobacco, and p ri«pie is now used al most solely for mixing with very mild tobaccos to flavor it. I*rof«**wloni> 1 Trnst. To any who regard the whole legal profession with suspicion I can only answer: "You are probably right In saying that if a lawyer had played the vulture he Mould not tell of It, yet In truth these evil birds of prey are not the majority in tiie law. If they were more than u snv.ill minority our profession could not sustain the almost boundless confidence it enjoys from the whole business world. Remember, a lawyer Is Judged day by day, and by his deeds be Is justified or condemned. If a significant number of us were traitors to our clients or if by our hypocrisy we undermined the body of professional ethics, the keen and un deceived men of this generation would not be placing in lawyers' hands every day their most momentous Interests and trusting implicitly In the honesty of their advice. Suppose we do have our little professional attitudes and poses and pomposities; those are but superficial mannerisms which may make us awkward and tedious when we, too, would write a popular article, but which nave nothing under heaven to do with our faithfulness to our cli ents. On that faithfulness we meet our Judgment day six times a week."— Everybody's Magazine. Bewhcr'n Application. One Saturday afternoon two Brook lyn men were on their way over Fulton ferry to the City of Churches. Mr. Beeeher happened to tie on board. As the ferryboat f'-lt its way into the slip Mr. Beeeher seemed to be looking on abstractedly. As the boat struck the piling at the side, which creaklngly yielded, Mr. Beecher's face lighted up. One of the men, who knew Mr. Beech er's method of sermonizing, remarked to the other: "There will be something about that In tomorrow's sermon. Let us go and see." The men were in Plym outh church the following morning as suggested. Sure enough, in the course of the sermon Mr. Beeeher made some such reference as this: "There are in every community men who perform for society the service that yonder pil ing does in the ferry slip when they are struck they gracefully yield, yet are not quite swept from their position. They stand for principle, but they tact fully yield in nonessentials. Those buffer souls are valuable members of society." Ill* Ne«*on«l Stomach. Smugglers' brains are proverbially fertile, and a clever expedient was onco adopted to import brandy into I'arls without paying the octroi duties, says the Golden Penny. For several weeks a splendid elephant and his keeper be longing to a circus had constantly gone in and out of one of the Paris gates, when one day a custom house officer suddenly thrust his probe into the creature's side. The si»eetators were horrified, but the elephant did not ap pear to fool any pain, while from the wound fell four tiny barrels < 112 brandy. The keeper, considering that H little extra size in the unwieldy shape of his change would not be noticed, had in eased its stomach in the old skin of a larger elephant and had filled out the space with brandy a very profitable enterprise. M»toll0Hol|0O I GUARDIAN jj ' 68 EROM AVENUE A § ° o fc By HLWM MUSSOIM £ *- - 2 o * jt C'opj rlaht, lttffi, by T. ('. McClure Soi*oi»o 0 40iioi»oH<* DiioiioJioiioiioH A cab stood waiting In a cross street near Fifth avenue. It was an ordina ry cab. with its driver arrayed In a Hv cry which could by no stretch of the Imagination be taken for that of a prl vate family, but to the mind of ltillie Mc.Vdam it was associated with ill omen. It is a far cry from Avenue A to Fifth avenue, but Billie had made the transition, with the assistance of Fran ces Hartley. On one of her slumming tours she had found him, ragged, cold and hungry, the center of a group of hostile urchins who were about to en gage him in combat. SU«' had rescued the boy from his perilous position and had interviewed his Intoxicated and acquiescent father. The result of the negotiation had been Billie's installation as hall l>oy in the Hartley mansion, where the com placency with which he regarded the grandeur of his surroundings and the elegance of his green, brass buttoned uniform was almost balanced by his deep rooted feeling of gratitude for Miss Frances. If the facile and independent mind of P.illie McAdain bad one responsibility it was the conviction that he must at all times act as the protector and guar dian of Frances Hartley. There was her father, of course, a dlgnltled, aris t xTatlc and prejudiced gentleman of the old school. He counted. In a way, but Billie felt vaguely that Wilfred Hartley could not hark back from his thirty years' experience in society and clubdom and sympathize thoroughly with a motherless girl of twenty-two, who was impressionable, light hearted and rather thoughtless. Then there was Henry Reach. If be ing young, rich, handsome and Impul sive were all the requisites of life Hen ry was a person to whom Billie's r<. sponsibllitics of guardianship could be transferred. But there were other things that Billie did not understand, but which Mr. Hartley set such store by that they must be of prime Impor tance. They were negative, most of these things, not having one's father in the retail trade, not being in the shallows of society instead of firmly anchored in Its depths. With the prejudice of youth IMllie allowed the feelings of Wilfred Hart ley to influence him. He liked Henry Beach, but on the occasions when he admitted him to the house, frequently occasions on which Mr. Hartley was absent, he did not exhibit much cor diality. Such a time had come this morning. Billy had noted the hired carriage In which Beach arrived. He had observed an unusual flutter of exi>ectaney in Frances" greeting of the young man. Going to the corner to mail a letter, he had seen tli" cab waiting in a side street. Returning to Ids station on a hall bench, he noticed that the voices which came in subdued tones from the drawing room had In them a note of suppressed excitement. Billie sat on his bench and fidgeted. Then he deserted his post, stole Into the library and, noiselessly pushing back a folding door, installed himself behind some curtains in the drawing room. Frances Hartley stood near a win dow, and beside her was Henry Beach, who looked imploringly at her tear stained face "I cannot bear to deceive my father, Henry," she said as Billie guiltily se cured his place of vantage. "it is for only once, dear," Beach re piled low and earnestly. "We can go In the cab I have waiting and be back here safely married by the time your father returns from the club. Then there will be a scene, and the worst that can happen will be his withhold ing his forgiveness for a week or two." And so the man talked as many men have talked before. Frances demurred, but In the end her head sank to Henry's shoulder, and Billie knew she was the woman who hesitates, and he stole softly away. His idea of the duties of a guardian was elemental; it was to strike straight from the shoulder. His lirst thought was to get rid of the cab, his next to notify Mr. Hartley. Seating himself at the library table, he hastily printed the following note: Kum Home to Onse I hav took the Kcrrlagt. BILLIE. Addressing this to Mr. Hartley, he hurried to the hall, grasped his cap and ran to the waiting cab. "Gent wants to see ye at de house. I'll hold yer horses," he announced to the cabman, relapsing in his excite ment to his familiar Avenue A dialect. Billie waited until the man had turned the corner. Then he climbed to the driver's seat of the cab, grasped the reins and started the horses. Pres ently the doorman of a Fifth avenue club was surprised to see a small boy In a green uniform Imperiously beckon to him from the seat of a carriage. When the man wonderingly approached a crumpled note was thrust into his bund, with the Injunction that it be de livered to Mr. Hartley at once. Billie's dominant idea was to keep the cab away from the house until all danger of an elopement should be over. The thought flint other cabs might bo obtained did not occur to him. He drove slowly until he saw Mr. Hartley hurry from the club. Then he turned the horses down Fifth avenue and rec onnoitered from a safe distance. On the brown stone steps of the Hartley house stood Frances, Henry Beach r.nd the cab driver, the latter evidently describing Lis loss, for he wn* violently gesticulating. Presently Mr. Hartley ascended the steps, and the attitudes of two of the group changed entirely. It was now evident to P.lllie McAd am that the offices of his guardianship had been satisfactorily attended to. He brought the whip down with a snap on the backs of the horses, re solved to restore those steeds to their master. The animals resented this treatment to the extent of starting forward vi ciously. At that moment a tallvho dashed by, its guard merrily tooting bin horn, and this distraction complet ed the demoralization of the hitherto docile beasts, for when It] Die reached the Hartley house the horses were I>• • yond his control. A lumbering electric bus swerved to ward the curb at that Juncture, and the frightened animals, tr>lng to avoid ; this threatening monster, took to the sidewalk. Then? was a crash as the cab collided with an iron railing, and Hlllie, pale and unconscious, was thrown into an area. I That night as lilllie lay in his bed in his little room in the servants' qnur I with a separate ache In each Joint of his small body tue aoor was opened, and Mr Hartley, Frances and Henry Beach entered. "How are you feeling now, Wil liam'/" Inquired the old gentleman. "Pretty well, sir," said Rlllle, man fully subduing the aches. There seemed to be some sort of an understanding between the young cou ple and Mr. Hartley, for be first re garded them with a look of recently ac quired complacency. Then he again turned to Billle. "William." he said, "1 have learned today that extreme Ideas of caste are unsatisfactory things to hold In a re public, as they often lead to drastic measures on the part of sentimental persons. Your own mental and phys ical methods I can commend as being violent and dangerous, but effectual Frances, Mr. Beach uud 1 are paying you this final visit before retiring for the purpose of thanking you." IMUie blinked uneomprehendlngly at the old gentleman, but the situation, not the words, impressed Itself on Ills understanding. The aches and pains ami the Avenue A dialect were again asserting themselves. He turned wearily on his pillow. "If dere's t' lie any runaways In dis fam'ly I'll take care of "cm," he said sleepily. A Shuttering llath. In the "New Letters and Memories of Jane Welsh Carlyle" is a letter from that witty lady written from a health resort, in which she gives an amusing description of her experience under medical treatment: "A bath woman In a thick white flan nel gown, like a white Russian bear, came to my bedside at <1 in the morning and swathed me tightly, like a mummy, first in dry blankets, then heaped the feather bed and bedclothes atcip of me, leaving only my face uncovered, then went away for an hour, committing mo to what I'aulet calls my 'distract Ideas' and the sense of suffocation, all th blood In my body seeming to get press ed up into my head. "Only one thought remained to me— could I roll myself over, feather bed and all, onto the floor and then roll on toward the bell, if there were one, and ring it with my teeth? I tried with su perhuman effort, but in vain. I was a mummy and no mistake. So nothing re mained to me but to put off going rag ing mad till the last possible moment. "When the bath wonitwi came back at 7 she was rather shocked at my state: put tue in a shallow bath and poured several pitchers of water over me to compose my mind. It shattered me al' Cuntly Unite. Soon after his retirement from the presidency General Harrison, having announced his intention t<> make some money out of the practice of law. was called Into a big corporation case with General Knox. They won their ease, nnd their minds naturally turned on their fee. "Look here, Knox," said General Har rison. "I know 1 am subordinate to you in this case and should get my fee through you, but I am getting old and want to collect all my fees as promptly as possible, so If you don't mind I'll just make out my own bill and send it in." Knox readily agreed, and the ex president sent In his account, which was promptly paid. A day or so later lie met Knox. "Did you get your fee?" the Pittsburger ask ed of the Indiuuian. "Oh, yes," replied Harrison, with a smile. "I put in a bill for s!!.">,OfiO, and they paid it at once.' "I'm sorry about that," said Knox. "I have just received a check for SIOO,- 000 for my share and had expected to O. K. yours for the same amount." — New York Times. nmnle « !»rrr««Hj.
