CHAPTER XXIII. (Continued.)
Wasn’t sure, you know, but some-
how It seemed to me a rum thing to
say —almost offensive, dash it! But
then, for that matter, everything was
rum of late—so that counted for noth
lng. Fact was, It Just seemed to me
like there was something In the air
everybody seemed so queer—well, jol-
ly muddled, 1 should call it! Idea
had been gradually coming to me that
I was the only one who appeared to
have any clear understanding of
things; and somehow the realization
Just made me devilish nervous—the
responsibility, don’t you know!
And Just then the Judge looked sud-
denly at his watch, muttered some-
tiling. and hitched up to the table
strewn with papers. He bent over
these with a lrown. coughed oddly,
glanced at me—and bent again with a
mutter. Of course. 1 saw he was an-
noyed over sudden consciousness of
the break he had made, and was striv-
ing to cover his embarrassment.
And, by Jove. It seemed to me he
ought ' to feel embarrassed, for the
Dimmest thing yet was this
for this infernal
right, don't you know, on account of
Frances. Knew he was still feeling a
bit plucked over IiIh slip of the tongue
—showed plainly he was bothered,
you know; you could tell by his puck-
ered brows and the way he kept
clearing hts throat, bo meantime,
knowing that the best thing was to
appear unconscious—Just give him
time, you know—I fell carelessly to
jingling some coins in my pocket and
tapping my foot upon the hardwood,
as I hummed a devilish neat little air
from La Julve that I almost knew by
heart:
"Qu’li, l'apprenne de voua?
Helas, je vous Implore, benlsaez inon
epoux—”
By Jove, 1 haa Just got that far,
when he shook his head with a kind
of snort, threw down bis pen, and
got to his feet, facing me with a sickly
smile.
"I am going to ask you to excuse
me. my dear Llghtnut”—came right
out frankly like that, you know! “But
the fact Is—” he opened and shut his
watch—nervously, you know—"I have
just realized how—”
But I stopped him—couldn't let him
go on, of course: “Oh, 1 say, you
know! Not another word, njy dear
Judge—I don’t care a Jolly hang, dash
It!" And to show him, 1 smiled, got
out a cigarette, and perched kind of
sidewise on ttm edge of the table.
"I'm not a bit sensitive, don’t you
know!"
He stared “Indeed, no—I see you
are not!" he said warmly.
I drew a light a bit airily. "Of
course," I puffed, "what you are think-
ing of Is your servant, but 1"—I shot
him a light wink—‘‘I’ve got to think a
little about my own affair, don’t
you—”
"Llghtnut!" He caught me by the
arms, his face reddened almost black.
"My dear boy, ten thousand pardons!
I assure you—”
Kirkland Is not the kind to talk, you
know ."
Oh. wasn’t she! By Jove. 1 won-
dered what he would think If he had
heard our conversation In the hall!
But It wasn't for ine to tell him he
was wcrmlng a w hat’s its name to his
bosom, so I Just mumbled a reply.
"Nevertheless,” he shrugged, "it Is
easy to see that she can’t stand the
sight of Francis.” He shook his head
dismally. "Charming girl, Mr. Light-
nut—a rare and perfect type of the
Frg'lisfc 1 uuty at her best."
Oh, was she! Not If 1 knew any-
thing about It. and 1 had seen three
seasons in London. By Jove, 1 was
so terribly shocked 1 could Just feel
It In my face!
He seemed surprised. "Don't you
think so?” he insisted.
"Well, 1 rather don't, you know!"
It Just blurted out of itself. "Oh, I
say—now, you're not really In earn-
est?" And 1 screwed my glass bo
hard In my embarrassment, 1 hurt my
eye—"You know she’s a freak! Why.
dash it—" I pulled up, for after all,
she was a fellow guest.
He Btared, Jammed his hands deep
in his pockets and bent toward me.
"Now’, look here, my boy, do you mean
to say you don’t think Miss Kirkland
a beautiful and winning girl?”—1
guess he did see 1 meant It, for he
slowly emitted an expressive whistle
—“Well, you are hopeless then—utter-
ly hopeless!" and dash it, he Just
groaned!
"But now, my dear young friend,"
he went on, and with a glance at the
littered table, "I want you to go out
and get some fresh air before the
bloom of the morning Is past—If you
go out this way, you will avoid en-
countering those girls"—his band gen
tly but firmly urged me. "it has been

eager to put up all I was worth, you
know!

“So that’s It!" He relaxed with a
deep breath Then quietly: "My dear
boy, you make me ashamed of my-
self—I was rude!" And he shook my
hand. "Yes, Indeed—you just go right
ahead; almost anything is preferable
to the vicious life Francis Is leading—
anything!" He sighed and his voice
dropped confidentially: "I’m afraid
even you would be discouraged if l

Scoggins again—always Scoggins!

do to let him feel that way, you know • j
"Really, 'pon honor now, thing I want 1
to do is just stay here and talk to you
about Frances."
"Oh. damn Fran—h’m— I mean
Francis will keep!" He caught him-
self hastily before the stare of my
glass, fumbling with the papers to
cover his confusion. Then he clapped
me on the shoulder, pressing me again
toward the door. "You Just go ahead
and do whatever you can with Fran-
cis, yourself—you are my only hope!
Or wait, and I’ll prepare the way for
you tonight—that's it; that’s best!"—
and he went to nodding. Then he
halted my progress and eyed me In-
tently. "There's another thing"—his
voice dropped—"I think It’s Just as

breath—”
A sharp knock cut In abruptly.
"Come In!" And he swung the door
open.
It was Jenkins to say a person was
waiting to see me on important busi-
ness
CHAPTER XXIV.
I Recover the Pajamas.
Outside, swinging his club and kick-
ing his heel In the macadam, 1 found
a fat policeman -from New York, 1
knew by his helmet.
He turned and 1 saw—O’Keefe! I
"Oh, there you are, sir!" And with '
a careless duck and a wave, he ambled
forward and placed In my bands a I
parcel.
"It's them, all right!" he said, with j
a fat wink. "The blac4- silk pajamas—
y/e got ’em, you see!”
“Jove!” I ejaculated, staring Then
suddenly I got the Jolly Idea full and i
strong, you know, and 1 was Just so
dashed relieved and delighted, 1 shook
hands with him—fact!
"Oh, I say, Jenkins," I remarked,
twisting my glass at him, "by Jove,
you know—eh?”
"Certainly, sir!" Jenkins admitted
calmly. "I knew in a minute soon as
he told me!"
And, by Jove, I believed him! Had
to, you know; It was only Just one
instance of the devilish clever, in-
tuitive way Jenkins had of boring In-
to things!
"Yes, sir,”—O’Keefe thoughtfully

. he studied with Interest the top of
I one of the pillars of the porte-cochere
and shrugged lightly—"of course it
wasn’t Just because of the reward,
though of course five hundred bucks
Is five hundred bucks, but we thought
you might like to have ’em—thank
you, sir!" For out of my folder 1
peeled five crisp centuries and laid
them in his palm.
This done, Jenkins glanced at me
and turned suggestively toward the
entrance, but O’Keefe didn’t make a
move to go and no more did 1. Fact
was, I had a devilish keen notion that
the old cat upstairs would be watch-
ing for the policeman’s departure
I through the grounds, and It came to
me that to play him a little longer
wouldn’t do any harm, but might seal
her Jolly mouth the tighter.
O’Keefe thanked me again. "You’re
sure solid with the force, sir,” he as-
sured, nodding earnestly. "Just re-
member my number and the name of
Captain Clutchem if any time In town
you get rounded up In any of our lit-
tle—er, you know!”—he dropped a i
cheerful wink at me and glanced again
at the bills "Expect maybe you’re
anxious to know if Tim gets a dlvy (
outer this,” he proceeded; and I mur- j
mured some jolly something or
course, I wasn’t anxious, you know; j
fact is, I didn’t care a dash—didn't
even remember who Tim was. “Yes, )
siree, he’ll get ten of this!" he fir.- I
Ished impressively.
Meantime, he had been hunching !

wrenching from somewhere behind, a
ragged and shiny old wallet, bulging
with worn and greasy papers. Within j
this, with a nourish, he laid the bills

just peeking Into a corner of the par-
cel to satisfy myself that its contents
were of filmy black silk—and they

have profaned the package with fur-

Paris.—“To live is the first neces-
sity, and for such a city as Paris to-
live Is to develop, and beautify It-
self,” were the words used by the
prefect of the Seine, M. Delanney, in
calling on the Paris municipal councils
recently to sanction a further loan to;
enable the authorities to spend anotb-i
or $411,000,000 on the city’s needs.
The largest part of this amount will*
when borrowed, be applied to realize-
the colossal scheme of hygiene and
antl-tuberculosls reforms on which
Prefect Delanney has been engaged
for some time.
In connection with this scheme It is
proposed to spend $10,000,000 for en-
larging and Improving the water sup-
ply. $2,000,000 In precautions aga’nst
the consumption scourge already
spent, over $4,000,000 for keeping the
roadways cleaner and In a better
state of repair, $3,000,000 for rebuild-
ing and enlarging the slaughter
houses, and $1,000,000 for Improve-
ments in public hospitals.
In addition to this program, no less
than $24,000,000 will bo applied to
opening new streets and widening ex^
isting ones, to solve the traffic prob-
lem, which Is still the gravest before
the city authorities; $2,400,000 for
school houses; $2,200,000 for municipal
buildings, and $400,000 for walks and
plantings.
These operations, It Is thought,
form a minimum necessary to keep
Paris In a condition worthy of Its po-
sition among the capitals of the world.

at Westernville,
N. Y. The house
is standing, and is
still occupied dur-
ing a part of the
summer by some
of his descend-
ants. In those
early days of the
republic the journey from New York
by sleigh took ten days.
In preparation for the coming fes-
tivities. the diarist notes that the
keeping room (as the main room was
then called), which today would be
called the parlor, or drawing room,
was trimmed elaborately with spruce
and cedar branches, there being no
holly growing in that region. Hoses
made of tissue paper, in red, pink and
•white, were plentifully distributed
through the evergreen decorations.
The roses were made by two young
women guests, Miss Catherine Floyd
i and Miss Mary Floyd, who were en-
gaged to be married to James Madison
and Thomas Jefferson, afterwards
| presidents of the United States. They
I were assisted in entertaining guests
! during the day b> the Misses Wiggins,
I neighbors of th« general. Among
I other guests, Bishop Whipple and a
j fellow clergyman were present, as
S well as the fiance of the diarist.
The festivities began Christmas Eve,
i and all the family hung up their stock-
ings in front of the huge kitchen fire-
! place. The Illumination was that of
i tallow candles in silver and brass can
I dlesticks. Miss Catherine Floyd had
J expected her fiance, James Madison
j (as was Jotted down in the diary),
and was greatly disappointed at his
not coming He sent, by way of a
Christmas gift, a full-length likeness

which was brought by a neighbor re-
turning home from New York.
The merrymaking was at Its height

I “Hunt tho Slipper," “Blind Man’s

not altogether arbitrary appears when
I morning was at early candle light. The
, diary says; "It was so early, and I
had to take my, curl papers out, so I
am sure my hair will not curl at all.”
Tho gay young people gathered In
the Immense kitchen after breukfast
was served, to examine the stockings
that Santa Claus was expected to
have left In prosperous condition Of
her gifts tho diarist remarks: “Such;
beautiful gifts I have never received
away from my home Some beautiful
mink skins, sufficient to n ike my win-
ter fur and muff, from dear General
Floyd, taken from animals caught in
a trap near the milk house, Baxter’s
’Saints’ Rest,’ and a nice volume of
Watts’ hymns from Mrs. Floyd, a
white velvet pincushion, painted with
roses and leaves, from Catherine, and
a pretty collar of lace footing from
Mary. My dearly beloved gave mo a
ruby ring, tho emblem of eternal fidel-
ity and love.” The “dearly beloved”
became her husband a few months
later.
“Christmas Day was Indeed a Joyful
one; after we had seen all our gifts,
all the young people went to tho hill
back of tho house and coasted for two
hours on the hard crust of Ice and
snow; the distance from the top of the
hill to the gulf ravine was nearly a

WHEN THE YULE LOG BURNED
Pretty Customs of Former Times
That Surrounded That Necessary
Feature of Christmas.
Tho Yulo log on tho flroplaco roarod,
The whole hall was aglow,
The groat hounds lay before the blaze,
Dreaming of stag and boar.
One of the prettiest sights of the
old time Christmas must have been
that of the Yule log being drawn
homeward, surrounded with Joyous
laughing children, shouting merry
greeting to each wayfarer ns he
doffed his hat In reverence to tho log
so full of good promises whose flames
had tho power to burn out old wrongs
and heartburnings. On the arrival of
the log at the "baronial hall" it was
customary for each member of the
family to greet It In fitting manner
either In verso or song.
In some parts of France there was
also the custom of tho Christmas log.
although there has been a different
significance. There the log had sus-
pended from each end tho toys, cakes
and fruits for the children of the
house These were the gifts Petit
Maulet or Christmas child was said
to have brought.
In the mountain districts of Ger
many the Christmas log was supposed
to have the power of warding off dan-
gers from lightning and was kept be-
neath the bed of the master of the
house from one Christmas till the
next, when It was used to light the
new log. On Christinas eve all lights
and fires were extinguished in the
house and a piece of the last year s
wood was taken to the neighboring
church, where It was lighted at the
flames of the sanctuary light, signify-
ing the new light that had come into
tho world on this night.

Greenwich, Conn.— Miss Gladys TJr>
stedt, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W1L
llam E. Linstedt, has returned to her
home from a trip to New York. She
was bubbling over with pleasure.
"What do you think?" she asked.
"While I was in town I met Win,
and I’ve invited him to come here to-
morrow.”
The pubject of the outburst is Win-
throp C. Beardsley of Auburn, N. Y.
Ho is twenty-one, and so is Miss Lin-
stedt. They met in Saratoga last
winter. He was suffering from pneu-
monia, and she from another sort of
lung trouble. Both are now in thb
best of health.
Beardsley, soon after bis arrival at
the Lindstedt home, suggested that
he and the young woman go ffr a
stroll. Her brother offered his auto.
This was accepted, and the couple
I drove off.
They returned about one o’clock in
tho afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. IJnstedt
j were at home together, and, leading
| Beardsley up to them, the girl said.’
"1 am pleased to be able to presem.
i to you my husband."
The parents almost fainted.
"Now I know why you made that
trip to New York," said Mrs. Linstedt.
! "It wasn't an accident."
Tho parents decided that there was
no occasion to become angry, so they
blessed the couple and hustled them
off on their honeymoon.
