BY ARTHUR W. PEACH,
Marlon Lelghton looked up from her
book, a III tie amuse d and puzzled at
thu attitude of the maid, who after
thoroughly arranging the misplaced
articles, dusting, and poliBhtug, still
lingered.
"Well, corley, what's the matter?
Something you want to ask for? Go
ahead." she suggested kindly.
"It Isn't about me," the girl an
swered hesitatingly, "and I don't
know as I ought to say anything about
It; but I do like you, and 1 don't want
you to "
"Tell me, Corley," the other said,
laying down the book.
"I'll tell you Just what It Is. .Mr,
Sbafner, who comes hero, and whom
you are engaged to "
"Not quite yet, Corley; I haven't
made up my mind," Miss Lelghton
said.
"It's about him; he has been wilting
love-letters t6 a girl wonderful love
letters!"
The words were a sudden shock to
tho listening girl. It was true she had
not given her promise to Sbafner, but
that she loved him she could not deny.
It needed but a moment to make her
feel that the maid was mistaken.
"Hut you can't know, Corley,
whether lie has or not," she said.
The girl shook her head. "Yes, I
do," she said with firmness. "I've seen
the letter, read It with my own eyes! ;
It's written to a girl whoso name Is ,
Until; It's a wonderful love letter!"
"I don't see how It could come Into
your possession "
"It didn't," the girl answered, her
head drooping. "A friend got It. He
works ut the Frazer Company with
Mr. Shafuer. 1 don't know how he !
got It; but I'll get the letter from him,
and show you."
"That that would be beet I am
sure," said Miss Lelghton. ,
It seemed hardly plausible that a
letter of his could be secured, yet he
might write in an idle moment In his
office, and such a letter might be
found it might be among his waste
paper, put there because of some flaw.
There was a chance, a small one the
chance that human hearts must al
ways take luto consideration though
there are a thousand against It.
Later In thu afternoon, the maid
came lu, a little fearful, because she
was In love herself with the hearer
of the note to her, of what effect It
might have on the beuutlful girl she
served.
One glance told the story to Mtss
Lelghton. It was the same even, char
acteristic band with which she had
been familiar. It began with "Dearest
Kulh." and went on luto a tender lovo
letter, brief but full of nieanlug. and
made an ofter of an engagement tor
thu following night.
It was perfectly plain: It was his
letter. He wm lu luve with some one
unkuowu to h?r; he was even meeting
her, ae tho proposed engagement
showed.
"Go, Corley," she said. "No wait;
did you ask where this was found?"
"Yea, Fred found It In the waste
paper basket. It was crumpled a little
and there was a slight mark on It "
"I see; thank you. Go, Corley,
please," she said.
With that nolo crumpled in her
hand, she sat dowu to think, to en
deavor to plan some way to let him
know that she kne. He fcas to call
that evening; he must not.
She went to the telephone and
culled the office, but as she expected,
he had gone with the rest of the men.
She found him at hiB rooms, and his
cheery voice answered her questiou
over the wires.
"Robert, I don't want you to come
tonight; I will tell you why In a note
1 shall write you. With It, I shall en
close another. Good bye."
"But, Marlon, wh "

off his answer.
She bravely went to her desk and

had put upon It. She thought of him.
her love for him, her dreams of hlm

She waB aroused by a step In the
room, and turning, thinking It w is
one of the family, she saw him, toss
ing his hat into a chair.
"Your mother said to come up, so I
have, Marlon. I want to know what
you meant by what " He came up
to her, and she rose drawing away
from him; but he was taller, and
stronger than she, and she felt piti
fully weak in her defiance. "By what
you said to me?"
"Read this, and you'll see what
ground I had," she answered In a low
voice, holding out to him the note. .
Ho took It, read, it started at her,
Hiiile, and luughed. Then he caught
her In his arms, and held her. "Listen,
dear, 1 know now. But you are mis

all, dear. Were you hurt by thinking
that 1 cared for anyone but you?"
She nodded.
"Don't you think It would be best If

millionaire, w ho spends $10,000 a year
with me. I Import a speclul brand of
cigais ii, r him whirli costs him about
fiO api u-, und lie takes eight boxeB
of these iu the year, containing 2i0
each.
1 believe he gives most of them
away lo his friends, for he Is uot a
heavy cigar smoker by any means. Ho
chiclly Miiokia a pipe, and some of
the pipes he has piuchaHcd are worth
a good deal of money.
I hud a pipe made for him last year
whli h cost liim $l,iiiiu. It was a long
hookah, with a pure amber bowl en
cased In gold, beautifully ornamented
wltli embossed figures.
I have another enormously rich cus
tomer who collects tobacco Jurs; he
has ol I. -ii paid me $4,n00 for an old to
bacco jar. Hul this customer is not a
very heavy smoker, and his tobacco
bill lu the year Is not more than that
of any ordinary individual.
I have the custom of a well known
banker, who uses a new cigar holder
every day. Kach costs him $1U; they
are made of pure amber and arc gold
mounted.
The ;ite King Edward was a very
god customer to the tobacco mer
chants who were honored with his cus
tom, but I dd not think he ever paid
more than live dollars for a special
cigar, and, of course, he frequently
smoked cigars that cost fur leBs.
Of lato years several wealthy ladles
have become rather good customers of
tho tobacco merchant. 1 have the cub
torn of a titled lady, who la one ot
the best known hostesses In society,
who buys a couple of hundred cigar
ettes from mo every week, which cost
her $30. They are especially made for
her from a very expensive brand of
Turkish tobacco, and with each box
of cigarettes she has 100 little gold
paper holders.
The lady Is uot by any means a
heavy cigarette smoker, and buys the
cigarettes for her guests, but I know
of several ladies iu society who Bmoke
40 or 50 cigarettes a day. I have the
custom of a very wealthy elderly lady
who took to cigarette smoking a year
or so ago, and she now consumes 300
cigarettes a week Tit-Bits, London.
Home of Juliet Is Guarded,
You read the following words on a
tablet by the side of a tall and slen

Veiona:
"This was the home of Capulets,
from whom descended Juliet, for
whom so many kind hearts have wept
and of whom poets have sung."
A f.-w steps farther on the busy
life of the old city Is centered in the
market place, and In the one or two
streets that lead from it. Y'ou stand
