"Of course, I haven't had much experience," said Sybil, "but as far as I can make out men are made rather more endurable by being battered." Frant thought she might lie right, and conscious that he had gone through a certain amount of battering himself, felt that he might take It os a compliment.

"I never said anything about Mr. Brooke marrying Sybil.

What I am alluding to Is a most unpleasant rumor. I hear it Is suggested that your Uncle Percy and Mr. Brooke are father and son." Sybil sat and gazed nt her mother la amazement. Then she broke Into a peal of laughter. "My dear, I don't know what you are laughing nt it may be true." "I know" "Sybil, how can you laugh at such a thing It's almost Improper of you! I have been wondering all the way home who his mother could have been," added Lady Edltha, with a sudden change of tone.

"Well, she must have been rather nice looking." "I don't quite like the tone you take on the subject, my dear." Sybil began to laugh again. "How very funny of Uncle Percy!" "Funny?" said Lady Editha. "It's tion might not have noticed anything amiss, the change to Anthony was apparent, lie wondered whether Lady l'MItlm had begun to suspect that he was In love with her daughter, or, what would be more owkward, whether she suspected that her daughter might be capable of falling In love with him. "I suppose that Is the sort of thing thot people canuot hide," he reflected, "however secretive they are by uu-turn." Had Anthony known what it was that had caused the change in Lady F.dlthn's manner he would not have been so put out. Lady Edltha had been told In very strict confidence by a distant relative of the fomily what people were saying about Anthony 1 was robed In billowy waves of pink silk.

Perhaps she was right to cultivate the point of view of a prospective duchess. "My dear," said Lady Editha, "1 have decided, after all, to tell you although I am sure It is exceedingly difficult to mention such a subject to one's daughter." If Lady Edltha had had the finesse of Gregsbury her task might have been simplified by the ancient Kings of England. As It was. she began somewhat clumsily. "Sybil." she began, impressively, "do you see any likeness between your Uncle Percy and Mr.

Brooke?" "None at all," replied Sybil, decidedly. This was not at all the answer that Lady Edltha wanted. The rumor required nurturing, even by those who were most interested in Its not being true. There was no pleasure in killing a scandal until at any rate It showed SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTER.1.

The Duke Is present, but Anthony shines to tho Duke's Irritation. Anthony announces to Cammarlelgh that he loves Sybil and will try to win her for his wife, and upon which consummation, Cammarlelgh Is to givm him 8.000 pounds a year, and If ho falls to win Sybil, he will leave Cumniarle igh, content with an annuity of 600 pounds annually.

So many mothers make a firm resolve never to discuss any doubtful matters with their daughters, and end by discussing everything. Sybil gathered from, Lady Edltha's manner that she had something on her mind, but displayed no anxiety to find out what It was, knowing perfectly well that before CHAPTER XIII; "But he must be, mother.

The cotillon was an amazing success. There was a large party who thoroughly took to the idea of fishing.

The prime minister sat patiently with a miniature rod, unmoved when a witty peer belonging to the opposition accused him of fishing for votes. He managed to secure a packet done up In waterproof which was found to contain butterscotch. Everybody was In the highest spirits, and Anthony, without making himself too prominent, was largely responsible for the general good humor. I a for corner of the winter They've both got rather straight "Po you think I have mesmerized him?" "I sometimes wonder and so does Mother." "Supposing I were to tell you very frankly that, there is a mystery?" "My instinct tells me that, but you wou't tell me equally frankly what that mystery Is." The Duke of Frant came to clulm his pnrtuer, and Anthony smiled as noses. said Lady Edltha.

"There was a man who was afterward in the House of Commons and called himself Brnton-Smlth. His mother was Smith and his father was Bruton a great-uncle of garden and sat down, curiously silent.

He turned his chair a littlo round so that he could look at her conveniently.

They reached home, and Lady Edltha had not spoken, but still Sybil displayed no curiosity, even when her mother, Impressing a kiss upon her brow, said: "Good night, my darling, I hope you will sleep well." Sybil was quite aware that Lady Edltha was congratulating herself on a great triumph of self-control. Her admonition to sleep well was delivered with the air of one who would say: "You who are young and have no At six o'clock he saw Lady Edltha and her daughter to their carriage, and, considering how splendidly everything had gone, was a little perplexed at the curious intonation In Lady Edltha's voice as she said good night; indeed, it almost startled him, and he stood watching the carriage! yours, Sybil and they gave him peerage, only it died with him, which was a very good thing for everybody." "Who told you this story about Mr. Brooke, mother?" "Mrs. Gomersftll, and she always knows everything that Is worth knowing." "What was her proof?" "Oh, my dear Sybil, directly she men-tioned it I saw the whole thing at a glance." And Lady Edltha, evidently nervous about being examined as to what she had seen nt a glance, rose.

"Well, my dear, I must not keep you up a moment longer. We will go Into the whole thing to-morrow morning." "What do yon propose to do when you have gone into it?" "Oh, the family must meet and dis brother's mouth for twenty years, said with the greatest conviction: "I remember Percy's mouth perfectly; It is very like Mr. Brooke's." Sybil was not slow In apprehension, but she looked at her mother, mystified. "Well," said Lndy Edltha. "I don't know what you mean, mother." Lady Edltha began to have an uncomfortable feeling that perhaps her daughter was reproving her for mentioning such a subject.

"I admit that it is a delicate matter, my dear." "What, the subject of Mr. Brooke's gradually gaining ground with her. Ha was something which required explaining more and more every moment. Further, he suggested strength, and when a woman, besides a natural leaning towards a man's Individuality, realizes the presence of tfength and more than suspects a mystery she Is within his grasp. She was wondering how she should begin to question him about himself.

If he would only confide In her the secret by which he managed her uncle It would be exceedingly convenient. Just because, however, there was more than the possibility of romance between them and because as yet there had been no avowal, she felt a certain fear and shyness of him. "I think tho ball Is going to be a success, don't you?" he asked. "It is a success," she answered, "You see, there Is no time to tell you now." Sybil regretted that she had not given him more than one dance. "I have been asking Bobby March-down all about him.

He doesn't seem to know much," said the Duke as they commenced to waltz. "Why should he?" asked Sybil. "Oh, he knocks about the theaters a good deal." "The theaters seem to have knocked Mr. Marchdown about a good deal, If It comes to that" The Duke wondered whether she meant to be severe or humorous, and, coming to the conclusion that so pure looking and young a creature must have Intended the former "Oh, Bobby's all right you've only got to know him." flower of artifice as distinguished from artificiality.

Why do you ask?" "Because you strike mo as being mysterious." "And," he said, looking at her with a directness which made her color, "you would like me to explain myself." "Then you do need explanation?" "I never said so." "I think you must have magical powers." "What makes you think that?" "Because you manage Uncle Percy so perfectly." as it rolled away, a noticeable figure on the red carpet between the rows of footmen, till a voice from the outskirts of the little crowd said In musical Cockney: "Pore young man 'e's down-'earted now she's gone 'ome." Anthony, forgetting where he was, and with the instincts of his Bohemian days asserting themselves, answered the disheveled female sweetly: "Never down-hearted while you're about, dear." He looked round, horrified. Luck- trouble may probably sleep; I shall not." Sybil knew that Lady Edltha would not be able to hold out much longer.1 She was right, and just as her maid had finished brushing her hair the door opened and her mother reentered.

"I said they were alike, Sybil." As Sybil still gazed at her in bewilderment, Lady Editha continued: "Well, If they do I hope they will leave me out of It." "It would hardly be proper to In clude you in such a discussion." "It has always surprised us that your Uncle Percy has never married.

It happened that Maud S. eral Draper In discussing the social extravagancies that our ambassadors and ministers are compelled to meet. He was ambassador to the court of the Quirlnal during a large part of the first term of President McKinlcy. His diplomatic career terminated somewhat like that of Bellamy Storer, although there was not an exposure of the correspondence between him and the State Department.

Current rumor Insisted that members of the ambassador's family outdressed the Queen of Italy a thing naturally objectionable to her majesty. However that may have been, General Draper retired in good form and Mr. also from New England, succeeded him at Rome. One excuse for his doubts regarding President Roosevelt's fitness tor office Is to be found in the success of the latter In attaining the Vice Presidential nomination at Philadelphia, when General Draper thought he had a chance. Now and again, we hear people who know nothing about the passion of the stock game anthematizlng those who play it.

In their ignorance they reduce it to the level of common gambling. They are' talking about something wholly unknown to them. Let me tell you a little episode that is occurring every day an incident that had trotted to an old fashioned sulky and such were "the conditions" under which her owner insisted tho competitor should go to the track. In many respects, he was quite Justified, for about that time a freak horse known as Major Delmar got an alleged record ol 1:594 with a wind shield and several "modern appliances." Tho entire Maud S. controversy turns upon the presence or the absence of the words "undor similar conditions" in the offer of $5,000 made by the elder Mr.

Bonner. Never having seen the original paper, the writer is quite willing to accept the explanation of Mr. Bonner. The "origir.al conditions" bar ball bearings, even to the high sulky. Indeed, It bars so many things that the offer is robbed of all elements of hazard.

As a matter of fact, Delmar did go a mile in 2:07. rigged exactly as was Maud S. when she made her record of That was exactly one second better than Maud S. ever trotted. As Mr.

Bonner truly says: "All other world beaters that have tried last week. The sands of Ar-rerae are yet red with the confetti of the carnival. People are still bathing at various places along the south shore of Long Island. The water is, It possible, finer than it was during August, but the air is keen and a swimmer must keep busy in the water, his body submerged to the shoulders. For example, the water on Saturday was delightfully pleas-Bat; its temperature was about TO, but the air, a stiff sea breeze, couldn't have txceeded 60.

There are some impositions that summer residents at the Long Island shore have to endure that are not equaled nt any other part of the coast of tho United States. Another thing that adds to tho general disgust is the inadequate postal facilities with which the souih shore of Long Island is provided. Nearly one whole day is required to get a letter from Arverne. fifteen miles distant, to Brooklyn. The cause is that mails for Brooklyn, as a general thing, are sent to Long Island City.

If they were carried across the river to the new Forty-third street branch office on Madison avenue the delay would not be so bad, because that office Is connected by pneumatic tube with the general post office at City Hall Park. A line of tubing unites that office with the Brooklyn post office. Real expedition could, therefore, be given to the 1 letters that confiding citizens inirust to the tender mercies of the United States nall. At Arverne the last mail for the night closes at 6.10 and the next one at 8 o'clock next morning. It has been a frequent experience that letters mailed at 6 o'clock did not reach their destina-j tion in Brooklyn until 11 o'clock or next day.

And yet the fascination off tho stock ticker the mightiest Instrument ever made to stir the hearts of men does not relax Its hold upon him.

I visit a certain broker's office near Madison Souare almost dailv. Rarely do I enter that do not see Mr. Work's secretary arriving or leaving! The veteran cannot have a stock ticker in his house, under the new rules of the company, but he must know th" trend of the market every half hour! Th's silent, obsequious emnloye of Mr. Work's enters, copies the latest quotations from the hoard or the tape, and hurries across the ftorner of the square with the results. Whnt a picture one might conjure tin of that lonely, silent man, torn with bodily ailments, sitting with the figures from the noisy, bustling floor of tho exchange in his hand and speculating, mentally, upon imaginary gains nnd losses! To me there is much pathos in this daily Incident.

This is unfair, because the bathing beaches are excellent. With such splendid natural and a lifelong Republican, criticises Candidate Taft because he has taken over and will carry out the Roosevelt "policies." General Draper is a millionaire manufacturer, and entertains the same opinion about tho President's energy that the old woman did of the devil's' enthusiasm In his work. His is the voice of a plutocrat who has been made rich by high tariff and combinations of capital. At Hopedale the Drapers are Socialists, but away from that peaceful village they are radicals and "stand-patters." Much that General Draper said in Paris on Friday about the incompetent men who are appointed to ambassadorships In Europe Is gospel truth. He explains the leaks In our state secrets by ignorance of the languages In countries to which most of our diplomatics are sent.

Such ignorance, he argues, necessitates the employment of interpreters and translators. Such men are easily approachable by the representatives of other governments. In saying this General Draper discloses a fact, that has been known to and utilized by American correspondents at European capitals to secure information about our State Department. To the writer's knowledge, ninny a dispatch in metropolitan journals dated from Washington has come under the sea from some diplomatic center of Europe, and the change of address has been made to shield the leaky Interpreter or vice consul abroad.

Is still a matter of controversy, but it seems to be generally agreed that It was a temple of worship raised by the Phoenicians about 1500 B.C.

Tho origin of the stones themselves is also a mnltor of argument. There are more than one kind, and the altar stone is of harder material and bettor able to resist the effects of Are. This stone probably came from Brittany, but whatever their birthplace It assuredly was not in the near neighborhood, and one cannot but admire a people who took such an Immensity ot trouble for the sake of their religion.
