,, 1) Fallout was my friend. and I
doubt if I could have swallowed his im-
pertinent suggestion had it referred to
a: stranger. but when Iris. the pretty.
loft-voiced, (loamy-checked. innocent-
: eyed Iris was concerned my stomach
absolutely refused. For I adored Iris
, Maypel. and that she should be sub-
. jetted to such an insult as Bob proposed
made me simmer. For it was an insult
this prying into her secret life. even if
‘ Iriswere conscious of the liberty. More-
over. I had read of how these private in-
quiry agents would pry even around the
domestic hearth. and could—by mistake
or intent—throw such lurid lights upon
a little error as to make it appear
ghastly.

“Her innocence alone should protect
her from such duplicity." I argued as I
walked. “To attack such guileless rus-
ticity with the subtleties of urban re-

, , source was blackguardly in theextreme.

'Even Iris’ maternal aunt. who had

piloted her through her first London sea-

son with creditable care and watchful-

ness, would hardly be alert to Bob‘s un-
principled suggestibn.

I purposely avoided Bob's rooms fora

week. I knew I should only insult him

. .. if I went. and Iwas loath to do that.

Beside. upon reflection. a littlc‘bright-
_ ' ness broke through the mist. If Norton

Scrubbs made a mistake and-either by

accident or design—supplied Bob with a

report of his character and upbringing,

libelous and untrue. Bob would throw

up the sponge. and then———

I All along it had been patent. to me.

at least. that Iris’ preference for Bob
’ was the result of chance. She had met
him anhour before I was introduced
., and Bob had made the running. He had
had the start of me and I was not
quite goodenough to overhaul him. But
what opportunities for me Werevoflered
by an adverse report from Norton
Scrubbs! I would never submit my
darling to such an indignity! I would
never—

In the midst of my reverie in walked
Bob.

“Congratulate me. Reggie." he smiled.

“Eh? You‘re-you're engaged. do you
say?”

“As good as.
port. Here it is:

“ ‘Iris Maypel. of Maypel Court. in
the County of Blankshire; only child
and heiress of Alexander Thomas May-
pel. J. P.’ "

He looked up suddenly from the
paper.

“I verified name and address in the
county register," he said.

”Anything more?" I asked.

“Oh. yes. lots. I'll give you perti~

air. and expecting you."
The man‘s smirk spoilt what else
would have been my record heart-leap.
Still. it looked hopeful that Iris was
waiting for me in a place I knew from
observation her aunt did not frequent.
The man left me hurriedly at the door.
and I walked round the conservatory
twice and pooped behind every available
refuge—there were giant palms and no
less giant screens in plenty~but Iris
was not there.
I stood perplexed. wondering if there
were any connection between Iris‘s ab-
sence and that ugly serving man’s
smirk. But suddenly I heard a voice.
at first faintly, and then most dirk
tinctly.

"Don’t you has fool." it said. "You'll
get your money, right enough. if you
wait. Only let me run alone. I’ve got
my head screwed on right. I can assure
you. If you interfere you‘ll suffer for
it. that's all.”

It was Iris’s voice!

"But. my dear”—-——

There was the thin. piping voice of
her aunt.

"Don‘t but at moi" interrupted Iris,
angrily.‘ "Bob Pallant is ad. I tell you.
and all your arguments won't bring him
on again. Little Reggie Clive's my man
now."

I shrank within myself. At the mo
ment Iris spoke my own name they had
entered the conservatory. and I had ar-
ranged myself for a formidable sneeze
with which to announce my presence.
But the end of Iris’s sentence broke 03
my sneeze into a more sigh. and before
I could rearrange myself for the effort
they were speaking again. and I was
uncertain whether it was best to boldly
face them or to wait behind the screen
on the chance that they would soon clear
out.

“I suppose I must tell you the whole
tale." Iris continued. peevishly. “though
some things are best kept to oneself.
Bob Palliant has made an egregious ass
of himself."
“Good gracious!
exclaimed auntie.
“Applied to Cousin Norton for my
character and antecedents.“

“Well!"

"Of course. Norton humhugged him
right enough. told pretty lies about me.
and planted me and my family in a
fairly respectable county position.
but"—

“Doesn't that suit you?" interrupted
auntie.

“No. you old fool. Do you think I’m
going to marry a man who has been
humbugged like that?"

“You're unusually tender about a lit-
tle imposition."

“Thank you. that will do. i didn't
pick up n chaperon and pay her hand-
somely to stand auntie to me for a sea»
son and intrdduce me to moiety to be
bullied by her in earnest. There are no
men to hear us now. remember. I’m
not a kid. I've ceased to blubbor. and I
won't be whipped. Can't you see that
if I marry Bob Pallant after this. my
chance of pleasure—to say nothing of
your chance of your foo—«Wouldn’t be

“You wouldn't be to blame. You
didn't deceive him."

"No. but Norton theruhbs did. and it
would ruin his reputation and close his
pause to me forever. Norton has already
given me to understand as much and
advised me to takeonlleggie Clive. But

I could warn you of my presence. so I
waited in the hope that you would leave
before discovering me."

She made no reply. so I gladly walked
from the conservatory and the house.

I went home and tried to see the end
of the business. What attitude would
Iris adopt when Bob. in the flashing
pride of Norton Scrubb's report. pro-
posed marriage to her? I gave up the
conundrum when. far into the night. I
had failed to solve it.

I went down to the club the following
day resolved to tell Bob all when his
familiar face~wearing anything but his
familiar expression—looked in. He
came straight across to me. and without
any'preli‘minaries said:

“Reggie! Where’s Iris?"

I pushed my plate aside and returned '
his gaze. »

“How should I know if you are igno-
rant?" I replied. "isn't she with her—-
her auntie?"

“Possibly," returned Bob. “In fact,
probably. But . where's her aunt?
They’ve disappeared from their flat——
flown. owing six months” rent besides
salaries and unpaid bills innumerable
—and have left no address."

“Well.” I said. reflectively. "I'm not
surprised after what Ioverheard in their
conservatory yesterday afternoon."
“What did you hear?" asked Bob.
eagerly.

I told him.

THE NEW PRIME MINISTER.

Lord Salisbury Proposed the Bel-ring Sea
Arbltratlon.

It was Lord Salisbury who first pro-
posed to submit the Behring Sea sealing
dispute to arbitration. and it was he
who arranged with Secretary Blaine the
modus vivendi. . *
When the dispute threatened to be
come acute five years ago. the marquis.
at a meeting of Conservative members
of Parliament in the Carlton Club. ex-
pressed the hope that the difficulty with
the United States over the Behring Sea
question would be settled soon.

“But." he added. “with such a suscep
tible nation as America (heat Britain
cannot negotiate at the top of her
voice."

This will be Lord Salisbury‘s third
term as Prime Minister of England. His
first ministry. formed in less. lasted
only a few months. but he was recalled
to the head of the Government in 1886
and remained in office six years. Mr.

years.

The marquis is of medium height. very

GOLD OUT OF SEA WATER.

A St. Louis Professor Thinks flo wm Boa
Monte Christa.

Prof. A. H. Hunicke. of Washington
University. St. Louis. claims that sea
water contains gold and that he has dis-
covered the process of extracting it.
Prof. llunicke passed last. summer on
the California coast. where he claims to
have made his great discovery. The fol-
lowing interview with the professor ap
pears in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

“After a long period ldiscovered that
sea water is possessed inherently of gold
properties. and that the maximum
amount of gold in the sea is about 4
cents to the ton. the average being 2 to
2 1.2 cents a ton.“

"Do you think that proportion worth
the working of the water?"

“Do 1': Well. I should say so. Your
sea water costs you nothing and is il-
limifable. The charcoal wherewith to
work out your wealth costs only Cl for
810.000 worth of gold. So there is no
work whatever. You can simply sit be<
side the sea and wring out money to your
heart's content."

"But is not the golden property of sea
water characteristic only of the Pacific
Ocean. where it washes the hills and
mountains of California?"

“No. Gold is in the sea. just as salt
is in it. No man can measure the period
of its beginning or its development. It
is there. and all that man need do is
work it out with charmed."

Since the previous census was taken,
the number of women engaged in profit-

That women are extending their smi-

 

remarkable increase of 75, per cent. in
that branch. And while the numbersin
professional service has almost doubled.
those in domestic service has made but
slight advance.

But it is in business occupations that
women show the greatest advance. The
increase rem-hes 363 per cent. in thumb-
division of those engaged in trade and
transportation. while the increase is 02
per cent. among those engaged in manu—
facturing and mechanical industries.
These large percentages of increase are,
said to be due to the general introduction
of typewriting machines. and the
demand for women as Mikaela

But the unique feature of this 907- ‘
