A Repentant Rogue.

How He Acted Under the Influence of the Woman Who Loved Him.

When Jimmie McKoy died, he he- quenthed bis mansion on North Shore, bis founders' shares in the great Poobab Gold Mining company and the respecta- ble sum of £250,000, invested entirely In colonial stocks, to his "only and beloved child," Victoria Marie MeKoy. Jimmie was a child of fortune, a inan obviously born lucky, yet his sole pride was in the fact that he was born colonial.

Victoria Marie was a lady. She had been well educated hy divers tenchers. She could play "Home, Sweet Home," with variations, not only absolutely cor- rect, but with a feeling that could dis- turh no conversation. She had read "Tril- by" and "The Woman Who Did." She rode a hicycle and refused to take ad- vantage of the voting paper presented to her hy a maternal government. She was the richest heiress in Australasia. It was at Lady Boughtem's garden party that Victoria Marie met Cyril Fitz- berbert.

"I must introduce you to our heiress. Miss MeKoy," said Lady Boughtem. "I had no idea she was your heiress, though I was anxions to be introduced to ber. Still, it would he mere æsthetic folly to say that the possession of a certain number of golden coins could in any way spoil my ideal."

"My dear Victorin," cried her ladyship after the ceremony of introduction bad been enacted. "I must leave Mr. Fitz- berhert with you. 1 kaow you will look after him well, you dear girl, and really I must-it is my duty to her majesty- I must attend oa his excellency. He has pot bad a cup of tea this afternoon. Positively, he must he thirsty-such a hot afternoon-and wearing a frock cont!""

Strange to say, though be never spoke of them to Lady Boughtem, Mr. Fitz berhert's talk to Victoria was entirely of outdoor pastimes, of hunting, shoot- ing, boating, tennis nad hicycling.

She hegaa to admire him. not so much for the things he had done as for the truth with which be retailed them.

To ber surprise she felt sorry when the thinning crowd on the lawa told her it was time to depart.

The shortest rond to friendship runs over a common laad.

Victoria Marie and Cyril soon discover- ed this. Both were interested, Cyril. it appeared, deeply, in all the mysteries of borseflesb, and in a mutual exchange of confidences oa that prosaic subject they sealed an agreement of comradeship. that word, rather than friendship. defining the good fellowship which for the first few days existed between them.

Of course, the proprieties were main- tnlaed by the presence at lunch and diu. uer of Victoria's aunt, Mrs. Lisle, and as society. In the person of Lady Boughtem. bad determined on the advisability of a match between the two young people, they were allowed to pursue thier dual loneliness undisturbed.

By the fourth day, so strong had their acquaintance grown, that Cyril, arriving. as usual, early in the morning, brought with him a birthday hook.

"A friend of uilne," he explained negli- gently, "has sent me this from home, and ns I have no aames in it yet I thought I should like yon to be the first to write your name in It, if you will be so kind." Under each date a little space was cut in the cardhoard and a piece of light green colored paper Inserted for the name to b written on

"How funny!" said Victoria. "You bave opened it at my hirthday. Is that lucky ?"

"I hope so," he murmured.

She had taken the pen and, sitting at the table, was preparing to write while he stood at her side, watching the opera- tion seriously, when a new difficulty pre- sented itself.

"llow shall I sign?" she asked, looking at him with a perplexity which, if she had been a pretty girl. might have heen suspected of coquetry. "To my hest friends," she accented the words, "1 al- | ways sign my full name, but to acquaint- auces or on checks I merely put Victoria M. It saves time, you see."

To ber surprise be reddened-a suspi- ciously angry color and, stretching out his band, too' hold of the book. "Do not sign at all," he cried abruptly. "I would rather you did not." Victoria was hurt. Innocently she had wisbed to show him ber friendship by the harmless ruse of her two signatures, but now she pushed bis band aside impetu- ously.

"] will sign," she said, her face suffus- ed with a ruddier glow than his own. "You asked me to, so I will." With every siga of impatience she dashed off her signature-Victoria Marie McKoy.

"There!" she cried, throwing aside the pen petulantly.

He went away enrlier that evening, taking with him the hook, which she bad grown positively to hate, When he had gone, she put on her hat and, to escape the weariness of a tete-a-tete with her aunt, determined to go for a walk.

She had not walked far when at the corner of a rond where a benighted oil lamp was showing a feehle and flickering light she saw Cyril standing and talking to a strange man. She drew hack in the shadow of the paling fence which bound- ed the foot path.

"My dear Cyril"-it was the voice of a gentleman-"there must he no more de- lay. I am getting too old-really, you know, I am 50-to he as impatient as youth. Still I am not stagnant with age."

"I tell yon," said Cyril, Interrupting him, "that I must get the other signature. Victoria Marie is no good. We must have Victoria M., as you know."

"Very well, my dear friend." replied the stranger, twirling his mustache still mow vigorously. "I shall trust you till the eighth day; this is the fourth. We know each other, dear hoy, We are comrades in sorrow, friends in need. What Is the proverb, eh? But if you play me false -- well, I do not like double dealings be- tween partners."

The eighth day mentioned hy the stran- ger and not forgotten hy Victoria had come. It bad, Indeed, nearly gone by, for at 9 o'clock in the evening Cyril aad Victoria were in the billiard room ap- parently engrossed in scoring the requir- ed hundred.

Cyril put bis cue carefully la the rack and, flicking some chalk stains off bis cont, remarked casually, "I must really be off; I have an appointment."

"With the tall gentlemau with the big mustache?" said Victoria gently. "How do you know ?" cried Cyril in as- tonisbment.

For answer Victoria methodically put aside her cue and, sitting down on the settee, patted the seut at her side with a quietly suggestive motion.

"You will come and tell me every- thing." she said.

He sat down, leauing forward with bis elbows resting on bis kuces and his bands elusped.

"It is hetter unt," he replied, moodily eyiug the pattern of the linoleum carpet- iug.

She leaned forward and, taking bis hauds lu hers, wuclasped them; then, re- leasing one, she bell the other In both of hers

"You kuow part of it." he answered busklly. "You've guessed somehow that I love you (she pressed his band), and 1 wish you hadn't. You see, I'm-I'm a scamp, a rogue and a chent."

Fle looked at the check she hebl wat to bim quite enrelessly, hardly as mir wonhl expect a seedy adventurer to regard a small fortune thus absolutely offered to him. Then, taking it lu bls hands, he tore it into tiny pieces and threw them on the floor.

As he passed along the dark road she fo !- lowed-os she bad listened that night-in the shadow of the frnep. Underneath the solitary lamp the stranger was wait- Ing. twisting his mustache and tapping with his foot on the ground as if he grew impatient.

" Ah." he said sharply when Cyril join- ed him, "you are an hour late! No mat- ter. llave you got it ?"

"No." replied Cyril slowly, "I have not."

"Why ?"

"Because she gave me the money-£10 .- 000-and I gave it back to her."

"Ah, you mean that you have doubled on lue."

"No: I mean that we will part." "Very well."

She could see the heavy mustache lift and disclose the stranger's teeth. She knew the sign: the dog meant to bite. "Very well, go, Go, my dear Cyril, to the devil. I will wait."

There was a momentary Bosh of fire ileking out into the darkness like a devil's tongue, the sharp report of a pistol shot, and the stranger, his bands raised to the pitiless henvons, bis lips parted ia their last snarl, spun round once and collapsed in the roadway, a mere limp heap of clothed flesh pod bones.

"Yon have killed him!" whispered Cy- ril, gazing, pale and awestruck, at the thing at his feet.

"You forget that I love you," said Vic- toria Marie, and, hiding her face on his breast, she wept hysterically. - Royal Magazine.

Guided by a Spider.

A spider was the direct cause of most serious loss and iajury to the Dutch na- tion of the time of the attack upon Hol- land hy France in the year 1794. A French prisoner at Utrecht, who had spent some of his long, lonely hours in studying the habits of spidera on the walls of his cell, was able by watching them to forecast the coming of rain or of frost. At a time when a sudden thaw raised the prospects of the Dutch aad seemed to destroy the prisoner's hope of rescue by his countrymen his bumble friends npon the wall gave him sure signs of a renewal of the frost. Upon this be managed to send a message to assure the French generals that within a few days their troops would be able to pass over the frozen waters, a prediction that way soon fulfilled. and so it came to pass that a spider was responsible for the release of Quartermaster Disjonval and for the conquest of the Dutch.

He Knew a Gargoyle.

A well known Radical politician once got badly hit. Colonel Saunderson, in a heated speech, compared him to a "gar- goyle." "I believe you don't know wlinf a gar goyle is." sputtered his opponent. "Yes, I do:" shitted Culonel Saunder- son. "It is a grotesque gutter spout!"- London Teleg:apb.

The Sure-Footed Yak.

I was enveloped in a mass of warm clothing In order to exclude the bitter cold; hesides my body clothing, 1 wore two large sheepskin coats and three pairs of sheepskin gloves. with the result that I was quite helpless and incapable of mounting. even with assistance. I was accordingly lifted on to the yak, and just succeeded in elinging to the front of the saddle, while n Kirghiz led the animal hy a rope. * * * The going was fright- ful; the road was a mixture of large bowlders and deep holes, but the yok was a wonderful equilibrist, and puffed ond blew hard as, with his nose to the ground, he toiled steadily up- ward,over a frozen watercourse with- out ever making a mistake.

Summary PonIshment In Mexico. An Instance of the manner in which justice is summerily dispatched in Mexico has been afforded at Naco, a suh-port of entry south of Bisbee, Ariz., where the Bisbee railway crosses the international line on its way to the mines of Nacosari. Two of the Mex- ican "rurales," or frontier guards, quarreled over a card game. One of the men, Ruiz, shot and killed his com- panion, who appeared to have been somewhat less agile "on the draw." That night, says the Cincinnati En- quirer, the commandant of the local detachment of rurales sentenced Ruiz to death. The next morning at day- break Ruiz was marched out into the suburbs of the camp, guarded closely by a detachment of his former con- rades in arms. Given a spade, he was compelled to dig his own grave. Then at command he stood at "attention" upon its edge and received in his breast the bullets of a file of men, the riddled corpse falling backward into the shal- low trench.

Foreign But Pertinent.

A North Omaha Sunday school su- perintendent always conducts the les- son review in bis school. He spends ahout five minutes in explaining the lesson, and then asks:

"Now, has anyone a question to ask ?""

Last Sunday he explained the lesson as usual, dwelling at length on its chief thoughts, and wound up with the usual question:

"Now, has anyone a question to 26k ?" A member of the boys' junior class raised his hand.

"Well, what is your question ?" asked the superintendent.

"Please, sir, are we going to have a picnic this summer?"-Omaha World- Herald.
