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<T oliice '►(* that official
without once looking behind him. Then
he entered the secretary's private of
flee. Tie secretary had Just seat#l
himself
' Hinds," he cot . :i-nccd, "I am sorry
to sye that you are entertaining ladies
in tl;o department during office hours.
Are you luairiedV"
"No, sir."
"Then there Isn't even the excuse
Aat you are receiving a visit from
your wife. But i must have you dis
tinctly uud>-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.

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."—

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.

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'

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.
