SYNOPSIS.
At 14 yeart of n*e Admiral Sir Peter
flawkshdw'H nephew. Rlchird Qlyfl. fell
deeply In lovt at first sir i With Lid)
Arabella Stormont. who spurned tils at
tcntlons. The lad, an orphan, wan iflven
>berth aa mhlihlpman on ttie AJax by
s uncle. Giles Vernon, nephew of Sir
lomaa Vernon, becamo the boy's pal.
They attended a theater where Hawk-
•haw'i nejphew saw I^idy Arabella. Ver-
non met Philip Overton, next In line for
81r Thomas Vernon'* estate. They start-
ed a duel which was Interrupted. Vernon
Overton and Hawkshaw's nephew found
themselves attracted by pretty Ladv Ara-
bella. The AJax In battle defeated French
warships In the Mediterranean. Richard
Glvn (tot £2.000 prlKo money. He was
called home by I>ady Hawkshaw as Vie
was about to "blow In" his earnings with
Vernon. At a Hawkshaw party Glyn dis-
covered that Lady Arabella was a poor
tout persistent gambler. He talked much
•with her cousin Daphne. I,ady Arabella
fcftaln showed love for Kftnilnp. Later she

5on duel, neither whs hurt. Lady Ara-
slla humiliated Richard by her pranks.
echard and Giles shipped on a frigate,
les was captured by the French. Sir
Peter arranged for his exchange. Daph-
0a showed a liking for Glyn, who was
fhen 21 years of ai?e. Giles was released.
Giles and Richard planned elopements.
JBr Peter objected to the plan to wed
Daphne. By clever ruses Giles and Rich-
ard eloped with Lady Arabella and
Daphne, respectively. The latter pair
were married. Daphne was pleased; Ara-
bella raved In aniser. When the par-
ty returned, Arabella asked Hlr P«ter to
•Id In prosecuting Giles In court on the
charge of committing a capital crime.
All attended the trial. Upon Arabella's
tartlmony Giles was convicted and sen-
tenced to be hanged, flir I'eter visited
the prince of Wales In effort to secure a
pardon for Giles. Arabella threw herself
mt the feet of Overton, whom she had
loved for many years. He spurned her.
Then she told her plot to have Giles exe-
cuted so the Vernon estate would devolve
open Overton, whom she had planned to
•narry. Her affnlrs being disarranged,
•he announced that she would probably
wtavry Sir Thomas Vernon himself. Par
■on from the king was secured with 24
flours' leeway In which to save Giles.
After great difficulties were overcome. Sir
Pater and Richard reached the prison at
the moment Giles was to be executed.
/ CHAPTER XI.—Continued.
Already there were great erowdfl in
the street, and rb I made my wav mad
ly toward the Jail, I was often Im-
peded. I shrieked, I screnmed at the
■people, and waved aloft my precious
paper, nhoutlnR: "Pardon! Pardon!"
The cry wan taken up, and swelled In
>• great roar that came from a thou
■•n<! friendly throats. As I galloped
•long on the tinker'* horse, through
the crowded streets, an awful unspeak
•ble Thing loomed up before me. It
was the gibbet, and It was empty!
I felt the hot tears run flown my
cheeks at this and Rome recollection of
the Rod that Overton had preached to
■ne caused me to utter an Inarticulate
thanksgiving! Put if my tongue fal
ter d, my heart dirt not.
At last I pushed my way through
ahoutlng crowds to the Jail. The peo-
ple parted, and T saw u black cart
drawn by a white horse, and Giles Ver-
non. with pinioned hands, sitting In It
by the side of the hangman. I noticed
—as I did all the trifles of that dread
ful time—that the Jailer was ashy pah>
and Giles was fresh-colored. 1 flung
jnyself off my horse, rushed toward
the cart, holding the paper above my
head. Oh, the roaring and the shout
lng! I thrust It In Giles' face; the
hangman, in a second, cut the thongs
that bound the prisoner's hands. Giles
took the pardon and kissed It, and then
threw his arms around me and kissed
me, and smiled and waved his hat in
the air, while voices thundered, men
shouting like demons, and women
•creaming and weeping. And the next
thing I knew Daphne appeared, as if
dropped down from heaven, and
■pringlng Into the cart, clasped Giles;
and Lady Hawkshaw, a little slower
but yet quick, descended from the
coach, In which she and Daphne had
come, and embraced a 11 of us; and
then the cheering seemed to rend th
•kies.
In a little while^ the mood the
crowd changed. They began to clu.uot
for the blood of Sir Thomas Vernon
He was known to be away from home
but. as if by a preconcerted movement
a dash was made for Vernon court,
which was but five miles away. Th<
mllitnrv were called out. and the crowd
stopped; hut not without a colli■ in
and several persons were badly in
Jured. which did not tend toward bet
ter feeling for Sir Thomas.
Kor ourselves, 1 remained with Giles
until he was duly released by the of
fleers of the law, while Daphne am
Ij*dy Hawkshaw set off to me«t Sii
Peter On tho road. They met hlir
five miles ofT, and brought him back ti
York In their coach. I shall never for
get the scene when they drove up t<
the Inn where Giles and I wero a!
ready, the crowd, however, not allow
lng him to remain indoors at all. Whet
the coach hove to, the people, in theii
delight, picked Sir Peter up and car
ried him bodily upsvim to an oper
balcony and demand'-', n speech, fol
lowed by "Parliament: Parliament'
>ir utixt member!" and so on. Si."
!W« mad* i speech—the moat won-
derful I ever heard—standing with one
hand on Olles' shoulder, and the other
on mtxo. with Lady Hawkshaw and
Daphne In the background.
He began by roundly damning Sir
Thomas Vernon, "and a lady who shall
be nameless." Nevertheless, In spite
of some vagaries, the speech was full
of sound sense, and he promised the
people, If they gave him their suffrages
for parliament he would do all In his
power for the abolition of tho bar-
barous law from which Giles Vernon
had suffered so cruelly. He averred
that It was Impossible for a seaman,
alone and unaided, to take care of him-
self on dry land. Jack ashore being a
helpless creature at best, and but for
I.ady Hawkshaw he would probably
have been hanged himself long ago.
This allusion to Lady Hawkshaw, who
fairly divided the honors with Giles,
brought forth yells of delight from the
crowd. Her ladyship appeared and
bowed magnificently, and It was a reg-
ular triumph for us all, from beginning
to end.
Next day, with Giles, we all Btarted
for London, the happiest coach load of
people In the three kingdoms.
Two days after our arrival, we read
the announcement of the marriage, at
St. George's, Hanover Square, of Sir
Thomas Vernon to Lady Arabella Stor-
mont.
Sir Petor was delighted at thli
match, and so was Lady Hawkshaw,
and for once they were agreed. The
position of the newly-married couple
In London was anything but a (Pleasant
one; for Giles became the object of
public sympathy, and of popular and
royal approval. The prince of Wales
sent for him, and our visit to Windsor,
whither we all went to thank the king,
was made a triumph for us. Sir
Thomas and Lady Vernon were for-
bidden the court and Carlton house,
and were frequently hissed In public.
I saw them myself at Drury Lane,
when they were hissed. Sir Thomas
merely grinned, while Lady Arabella
surveyed the scowling faces before her
with u slow sweet smile, and calmly
played with the diamonds In her
stomacher.
We had a whole year of happiness.
The dreadful experience Giles had
been through began to tell on him,
and he was permitted to remain quiet-
ly u year on shore. And I, because of
Olles, was given r. year with my bride
Saw Giles Vernon with Pinioned
Hands.
before 1 had to leave her. And what
a year of blessedness It was to all!
We all lived with Sir Peter and Lady
Hawkshaw in lterkeley Square, and
those two honest souls took delight In
us. Lady Hawkshaw became a hero-
ine, and the worthy woman enjoyed it
thoroughly. Overton came some'imes
to aee us. A persecution had been set
on foot against him; and he was sev-
eral times arrested and sentenced for
unlawful assemblage. Hut persecution
was not the way to prevail with Over-
ton.
It was very well understood who In-
stigated these continued persecutions,
and that did not help to "increase the
popularity of Sir Thomas and his beau-
tiful wife. At last, a year to Ihe month
after the trla1 at York, the last indig-
nity was offered to Overton. He was
sentenced to be whipped at the cart's-
tall, and set in the pillory.
There was a general rally of his
friends; and on the winter morning
when this barbarous sentence was to
be carried out, a number, including
many persons of note, were assembled
at the prison, when Sir Peter and I
Joined them.
We soon heard that the government
would not permit the first part of the
-enteace to be carried out; but when
Overton emerged from the prison he
was unaware of this, and prepared for
the worst. The holy calmness of his
countenance and air brought even Sir
Peter to admit that "the pious dog is
i man, after all." When Informed that
he would not be whipped Overton
inly remarked:
"My Master was scourged. Why
should 1 rebel?"
Arrived at the place of punishment,
we found a great crowd assembled, of |
.11 sorts of persons, among them some
>f the highest quality. Overton sa- i
uted them, and with the utmost dig-
nity submitted to the cruel and hateful
j'linlshment. He had, however, the un-
lisguised sympathy of the officers of
ihe law, as well as of the crowd, anil
ivas treated with the utmost tender-
ness.
He was to spend three hours pil-
loried, and it was made the greatest
triumph of his life.
It is possible for a good man under-
going unjust punishment to be digni-
fied, even In the pillory; and so It was
with Overton. His singular beauty,
the mildness of his countenance, the 1
mi complaining fortitude win which ha
■nbmltted to an odious and miserable
position, the remembrance of his past
military services, showed him to be
every Inch a man. Many of his friends
came In their coaches, and, descending
and going up to Overton, saluted him
respectfully and expressed their sym-
pathy. to which Overton gently re-
turned thanks. At last a very splendid
coach appeared. It was magnificently
horsed with four thoroughbreds, and
had outriders, besides two huge foot-
men with nosegays. It drew up in front
of the pillory, and within It sat Lady
Vernon, superbly dressed; and In her
arms she held a very young Infant In
a great robe of lace and satin. Two
nurses sat on the front seat; and Sir
Thomas' saturnine countenance glared
behind Lady Vernon's beautiful, trium-
phant face. The coach stopped; and
I.udy Vernon, holding the child up In
her arms, directly In front of Overton's
eyes, gave him a smile and a meaning
look, as much as to say:
"Poor wretch! your Inheritance Is
gone!"
The crowd, wi.lch was never In a
good humor with the Vernons, began
to hiss vigorously. This they nppeared
not to mind; but when hisses were fol-
lowed by a shower of stones and
sticks, the equipage rolled off at the
top of Its speed.
At 11 o'clock Overton was released,
and nt once he was exhorting the peo-
ple to fear God and live truly to him.
He was not interrupted by the con-
stables who were present, and was
listened to with solemn attention. He
has preached ever since, and has never
again been molested. And when a dear
little girl came to my Daphne-—I was
then at sea, fighting the French—
Overton waa at the christening, and
made a prayer over her Infant head,
which my Daphne believes will keep
that dear child good and holy all her
life.
Giles Vernon, now Capt. Vernon, in
command of his majesty's ship Acasta,
44, is counted the smartest of the
young captains In the IlrltlBh scrvlce.
The women still love him; but Giles
has grown a little shy of going too far
with thbm, aud swears he will die a
bachelor. However, there appears to
be an alfair forwnrd between my li".le
Daphne, who is now four years and six
months old, and Capt. Vernon, and I
think something will come of It when
she Is of a marriageable age—and so
thinks her mother, too.
(THE END.)
NURSES FOR PAMPERED DOGS.
New Occupation for Girls In London,
and It Pays Well.
With the Increasing craze for dogs
of rare and valuable breeds as pets In
England a new employment for girls
has been created. They can become
dog nurseB.
It is no uncommon thing to see In
the squares and parks a pretty girl
In a neat uniform with two or three
valuable little dogs on leash, giving
them their daily airing. She is a dog
nurse, and this Is only one of her
duties.
Hesides the exercising of the pets
th*. nurse must see to their food,
which is no small matter. Special
things are cooked and the dogs must
be carefully watchcd while they eat to
see that nothing goes wrong. Then
the bath la a serious affair. Some-
times a silver bathtub Is used and
scented water.
The nurse must also look after the
toilet of her charges. When they go
oat with their mistress she must see
that they are In proper trim, with
their little coats carefully brushed and
cleansed and their Jeweled collars
bright and sparkling.
After they have retired at night her
time Is her own, and for the most part
she considers her five dollars a week
very easily earned, for she has her
board and lodging provided as wel!
as her uniform.
One of the great requisites for the
new profession is that the applicant
shall have an extinct sense of humor.
Weitarn Writer Pay* Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as Builder-Up
of the Country.
Mr. Edward H. Harriman Is on a
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain dow n his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their cr'-wns and other valuables
In the safe at night. But Mr. Harri-
man is going off on a pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of se-
verity that is usually used in men-
tioning the name of Harriman.
Ot all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer In the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of a
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock-
holders, whether It is for the advan-
tage of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. It is his Job to do the best
he can for the Interests entrusted to
his care. Harriir.an is not only a
financier, but he Is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Harriman
road. He Insists on a good roadbed,
level track, sale track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveler
and the shipper, f lie Harriman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Harriman gets hold of a
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put It in
flrBt class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty," but he
Insists that enough of the funds go
Into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
Is more need for improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road a fair
deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He is a strong man
In the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He Is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per-
fect—and we don't think he is—he is
no exception to the rule and Is worthy
of the praiBe of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.
The Ancient Pear.
You find charred pears In the kitch-
en heaps of middle Europe, where the
lake villages used to be, says a writer
in Outing. These remnants date back
of the apple, and, so far as we can dis-
cover, the pear was the very first one
of this wonderful family to become
of importance to baman beings. In
fact, It seems probable that an eatable
pear, or possibly a cookable pear, was
in possession of our ancestors a good
while before there were eatable apples
or even cherries, plums and possibly
even strawberries. But the whole
pear family was Just as surely work-
ing up toward civilized and garden
conditions as human beings them-
selves. Evolution has brought us
along together, with pretty nearly
equal step, and now it looks as If our
future development was to be nearly |
aa close as our past.
Laughter a Series of Barks.
Laughing is barking, say the sci-
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and ab-
domen. But instead of opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
it does so it makes the vocal cords vi-
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself agair. and again at intervals of a
quarter of a second. There are thus
In a hearty laugh four barks a second,
and if continued, they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this in-
terval is marked by a quick gasp for
breath, after which the barks are re-
newed. The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at Intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed' upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.
Pine Cakes.
The modern farmer touched various
attractive cakes on the shelf.
"This is an oak cake," he said.
"That is a pine one The row above
are walnut. All these cakes are actu-
ally made of wood. They are a new
cattle food—the Invention of Prof,
lleinrich Reh—that I have Imported
from Berlin.
"Ileh pointB out that the? animals
like young shoots, roots of shrubs,
bark—hence his saw dust food, en-
rlched with a mixture of potato peel-
Incs, cornhusk and the residue of the
sugar beet after tho extractiou of the
sugar.
"It Is said that this food, the cheap-
est known, agrees with cattle. And
why shouldn't it? It Is rich in albu-
men, nitrogen aud fats—much richer
than straw. I propose to give it a fair
trial. If it does aU 'hat is claimed
for It, the price of milk ought to come
down BO per cent."
Interviewing the Professor.
"So you don't think Mars would re-
ply, even if we did send signals?"
"I am almost convinced that there
would be no response," answered Prof.
Thinktnm, adjusting his glasses.
"Then you don't believe that Mars
Is inhabited?"
"On the contrary, I think it ex-
tremely probable that life similar to
our own exists on the sister planet."
"But you don't give those people
credit for intelligence equal to ours?"
"Yes. I am inclined to credit them
with even greater Intelligence than
we display. There are many Indica-
tions that they have a civilization old-
er than ours, in which case they
should have too much sense to fool
away their time on any such Imprac-
tical proposition."

The Force of Habit.
Out, of the campers had done some
thing peculiarly idiotic, and the dean
said: "Dick remirds me or Thomas'
colt."
"What about Thomas' colt?" asked
Dick, cheerfully.
"Why," the dean responded, read-
ily, "where I lived in Maine when I
was a boy an old man named Thomas
raised horses. He once put out to
pasture a colt, which had been fed
from i's birth In a box stall and wa-
tered at the trough in the yard.
"The pasture lay across a small
river, and in the middle of the day the
colt svam the stream to go up to the

making an interesting experiment in
barley growing upon his land to test
the possibility of raising corn on a
small scale. In 1907 he sowed 78 spe-
cially selected grains erf barley, <phich
yielded 400 ears. The resulting ker-
nels he sowed In 1908 and harvested
in 14 weeks, with the result that he

"To Orient."
Primarily and as its etymology
shows the verb to orient means to
set an object in exast adjustment to
the east, thence by a natural corollary
to set it true with all the cardinal
points of the compass. Then in the
derivative and tropical signification it
is used to describe the attitude of a
ni'nd duly adjusted to any standard
ot knoT'l^dge, morals or Ills.
Exceptions.
"You don't have to be enthusiastic
to succeed In some things," said the
boarding-house philosopher; "I once
saw a man achieve a speed of a mile
a minute sliding down a mountain
side, without the slightest effort on
his part ard without having had any
ambition to do it."
