THE PLOT SPOILED.
She was sitting in the corner of the car
riage opposite to me, and we had gab into
conversation via the window, which I
pulled down for her, and a magazine, which
I lent her. She agreed with me that It was
a hot day and that the magazine was
stupid. A' chance Incident gave more
personal torn to the conversation. I took
out my pocketbook to see that my ticket
was safe and let a letter drop on the floor
of the carriage. The letter was addressed
to the Earl of Dunmore. Her eyes fell on
it, and she looked at me with a pleased
mulle. ; "t ."1 ..." -i"' ' . - - - "'
"Is that your Are yon an earl?" she
asked. . -1 ' - . '
Now I may at once state that I am not
an earL and that the letter was not ad'
dressed to me. bat was Intended for my
autograph collection. Yet she was pretty,
and I thought she seemed pleased at the
Idea that I was' an earL The only other
occupants of the carriage were two somno
lent old ladles, who were not likely to
overhear me, so I decided to be an earl,
and condescendingly admitted the fact.
: "I'm so glad,'; she answered. "I did so
want to meet a real lord. " - ,
i'l am gratified that my presence is any
pleasure to you," I said, wondering wheth
er she was an American or merely an or
dinary radical. -
"Yon see," she replied, "I write a lit
tle." ---
"You're ..not going to interview met" I
exclaimed in real alarm, for the Earl of
Dunmore might be a oholerlo man and
the consequences unpleasant. -- 1
"Oh, no, " ahe answered. "I don't write
things like that. I write novels. "
"A milder form of fiction," I suggested.
"Perhaps I've read your novel ".
"I'm afraid an earl wouldn't have read
them. They only come out in penny edi
tions," she said wistfully. "But I'm
writing a serial story for a Sunday paper
now. That's better, isn't itf"
"Muoh better. You're getting on," I
replied, with increased Interest In my com
panion, for I had long wished to know
what kind "of person writes penny dreadfuls.-
"But are you going to put me into
the serial story? " 1
"Would you mind much?" she asked.
"Well, if you don't give my name," I
Said." ' -- r - .'k- "
"It's awfully-good of you," she answer
ed gratefully, "and you can tell me a lot
of things I want to know. You see, people
who buy penny books like them to be
about lords, and it's so hard to write about
lords when Vou've never met one, "
, "If I can be of any assistance," Z said.
"Thank you very much," she said.
"Now tell me, are you a bad lord or a good
lord? They're always very bad, or very
good, aren't .they?"
,GeIlerally,, I said. "I'm afraid I'm
one of the bad kind." -r
"I'm so glad," she answered. "There's
a good marquis In my story. He's the
hero, and I can write about him pretty,
easily, because he comes to see the hamble
heroine. And there's a bad earL He's
the villain, and he lives in bis castle, and
that's what makes it so hard. How are
you so bad?" . ' T
"Oh, I'm pretty bad all round," I said.
"It's not necessary to be particular to a
crime or two in drawing my character,
I'm sorry that I can't tell you much about
my Crimea The police, you know. That's
the worst of a democracy.''
. "Oh, I like that," she replied. "IU
certainly put that in. But you might tell
me about them. I wouldn't' let any one
know they were yours.".
"Iam not alone in these matters," !
said mysteriously.' "I am sworn to a
silence as deep as the grave. I wish I
could be more explicit. Our crimes are so
unlike the petty crimes of the people." V.
"Are you going to your castle now?" she
asked. ;- i. . V,-.--
"No," I said; "I'm going to Klnton to
stay with a man there. He's a mere com
moner, but he's got money, and dice
be cogged, you know." .:. ,
"You play with cogged dice, do you?"
she answered. - "How lovely! I'm going
to Klnton, too;" she added after a pause.
VDo you live there?" J asked, .beginning
to feel uneasy. .. '
"No," she said.; "I'm going to Mr
Dawson's." r
"Mrs. Dawson's?" I inquired faintly.
"Onavisil?" - r -
' "No," she said, "I am going as maid to
Mrs. Dawson. I was in service, you know,
before I took to literature, and I generally
take a place for my summer holiday? it
will be jolly. J've never been at so big a
house before." . - . :
- I was very uncomfortable, for I was go
ing to stay at the house too.
It occurred to me at first to nretend that
IWas traveling incognito, but she would
De certain to nna me out. In all probabil
ity Jlrs. Dawson would be in possession of
the whole conversation in a day or two,
and I should become a lauehlnar stock. : I
am a shy man and averse to ridicule. 1 Be-r
ides, for several reasons, I wished to pro
duce a good impression on Mrs. Dawson.
I decided to make a clean breast of the
whole thing to the young woman. When I
had told her, she looked at me with unut
terable contempt- ' , --'."Then
you're not" a lord at alL"ahe
aid. "And was everything else you told
me just as untrue?" - -"I
am afraid so," I answered. ..'
,"You ought to be ashamed of yourself,"
she went on. "Yon might have spoilt my
novel altogether. 1 1 shall write to the Au
thors' society about you. "
: "I want you," I said, "not to tell any
one." '.- ' -: .
Ireasoned wijjh her f or some , time, and
eventually agreed to give her a sovereign
down and three more if she kept the secret
while I was at Klnton. We bad only just
concluded the agreement when we reached
our destination. As we stopped,; the young
woman handed the sovereign back and
said, with a smile:
"Mr. Trevor, you shouldn't pretend to
be the Karl of Dunmore when your w
is on your hatbox." " . . - ; -
' "Hello, Lena, here you are," exclaimed
Mr. Dawson from the platform. "How
do you do, Trevor? I didn't know you
knew my niece. ". ' ' - -"Please
don't tell," I whispered.

tradesman named Zoulouohe a man of
wealth, but no principle. ,

"We have ten minutes to converse in
private. You must escape from here and
fly from France! You may be tried at any
hour, and, once tried, you will be con
demned and executed. " ? ; "
"But who so "base as to denounce me,,
madamef r I would know the name of my
enemy, that if ever I da escape I may at
some future time exact reparation for the
injury. " - , - : " "
'..'Oh, pcrfldyl't exclaimed Mme; : Bo

trusted most you have been most basely
betrayed. ?: Celeste Zoulouche is your se

under the mental blow.- "Impossible! Mon

"We are washng . precious time," said
the other, glancing at her watch. "Believe

and life seems of. little worth.".
"We should not be too selfish," rejoined
Mme. Bomalne hurriedly. ."Live, Martel,

"Is it so" exclaimed Du Bois as the
truth flashed upon him.
- "This is no time for false delicacy," pur
sued the other, with agitation; "Circum
stances have caused me to betray feelings

cousin; I am her confidant. - We have
agreed upon a bold and novel plan far your

worse and worse, and at last, at the proper
time, you must feign convulsions, and ap

when the chief physician comes his rounds

Near the close of his fourth day in the
hospital Martel du Bois was seen by more
than one person in convulsions. An hour
or two la.ter, when the physician made hit,
rounds, he was covered with a sheet.
-" There is no more need of your services
here," said Sister Agnes calmly, as she in

Sister Agnes and a lad with him, : ;

laid Sister Agnes hurriedly. "Linger not
a moment!. Adieu! Adieu!"
Five minutes later Martel du Bois, guld
sd by a youth, was hurriedly pnBglng
through the streets of Toulouse. On the
outskirts of the town the youth led him to
sn old stable, where they found two swift
horses prepared for a journey. --v -
They mounted and rode southward to
ward Spain. .When morning dawned,

and Toulouse. The second night they en

"go back to your mistress, Mme. Bomalne, 1

life are at her disposal. ". : .
: . "She will . accept your hand and heart,
but begs- you to keep your life," returned
the youth, with a light laugh."
"She will speak for herself!' rejoined
Du Bois sharply. , -

.i The description in an English journal
of the royal gunpowder factory at Waltham
would seem to show the establishment
more in the light of a world's fair than the
prosaic plant that such a purpose involves.
-There1 are, It appears, some 4O0 acres of
wooded land.. Intersected by four miles of
running streams, and electric launches ply
between the different buildings, while car
goes of explosives are conveyed by sail
barges in order to reduce liability to dan
ger to a minimum. ' In what is known as
the "danger building" there is a board set
up across the threshold, which- not even
the Inspector -may step over without hav
ing a special pair of large ovorboots put
on his feet, to keep his shoes from track
ing grit from outside upon the felt carpet. .
In one part of .the grounds is a pond into
which the water from the nitroglycerin
factory Is drained, and. once a week" this
extraordinary lake is exploded with a dy
namite cartridge, to prevent too great ao?
cumulation of waste nitroglycerin some
times, in fact, there is so much in the wa
ter that holes 20 feet . deep are made and
the water is all blown away. -; ..

: "The next morning Maria was ill threat
ened with lung fever. ' Poor Yune was
overwhelmed with her troubles. A week
of weary care and exhausting labor for hel
passed, then Maria was out of danger and
affairs began to get a little settled.
I But it was a. woeful settling in a pecuni
ary way.- They were penniless, and the
doctor's bills for Maria had gun up to $30.
New, the doctor had been a hard creditor
of her father's. - There was not a man in
the village whom . Yune had not rather bs
under, obligations to-r-unless she equally
regretted not being independent of Mr.
Glyndon. , . ., -v ;y-i--c-i - ;-:v-..:
As she sat alone she thought suddenly
of her watch the little jeweled Geneva
watch which had been her father's last gift
to her. She could pawn it. The act was
crudest sacrilege, . but she went to
wealthy man of the village and received
$40 for it, with the agreement that It was
to be redeemed within six months.
Mr. Glyndon had been very kind daring
Maria's illness. .-.Totally ignoring Yune'a
abrupt repulse, he had done all in his pow-:
cr to relieve her of distress and labor
Studiously as she maintained her hauteur,
she could not but feel it So, more sweetly
than she might Otherwise have done, shs
sought him to. repay the amount of his
loan. -
"Miss Yune, I shall not receive that
money. - It was requested as a Joan, bat
Maria must keep it in token of my admira
tion for her excellence as a sister and a
daughter. I think she will do so. : She Is
not so proud as youarejYune.". ' -.
Yune laid the money down haughtily.
"I prefer to repay the loan," she said,
and turned to leave, the room, and then
she went to the doctor's. ? ; .
Dr. Wlllard received her-very pleasantly,
and presented her with the bill receipted.

he asked. . " ; -
- "I have been paid the bill " is dis

"By whomt How?"
"Did yon not send the money through
the poBtoffice last night, -with word that
you would call for the bill?" -
- "Certainly not!" - - , "
."Some one has done so. - You have some
unknown friend, Miss Merle." -
.Yune took the bill and turned home
ward. On the way she thought of very
; relative or iriend she had who would be
likely to do her such a service. She could
not satisfy herself before she reached home.
There she told Maria the good newa -
' . "We have but one such good friend at
that, Yune. . . .
. "And who is that, pray?"
. "Why," Mr. Glyndon, of course." . '
.''Maria, da you suppose that he has paid
that $20?" she cried.
A "I have no doubt of it How kind and
good he is! -: And how can you help loving
him,: Tune? I should love him, I know, if
it weren't far my Charley, whether hs
wanted me to or not." t: - .- ;;
Yune sat silent; Soon after Maria went
to bed. Still Yune sat alone In the silent'
sitting room thinking. Finally she got'
up, wens up to Mr. Glyndon s room and
knocked at the door. He opened it She
looked up into his kind, grave face. :
"Mr. Glyndon, I have been very rude,
and yod are very kind. . Will you forgivs
me?"
"Yes, and will you love me, Yune?"

So joy and peace and prosperity dawned
on the family. Yune keeps Dr. Wlllard '

Some writers have said that the deriva

But a haggis contains minced meats, and
the derivation of - the word is more likely
to be that given by John Hill. Burton, no
mean authority on such a subject. Writing
of some French words, and some words of
French origin, which crept into common
use in many parts of Scotland, -such as gi
got, ashet, eta, he alludes to Burns' song"
on the haggis as a national dish and adds:
" Yet there can be no question that this
potent pudding is the lineal descendant of
the French hachis." . -
Jamleson's explanation is as follows:
Dr. Johnson derives haggess from hog or
hack. The last is certainly the proper origin,
it we may judge frora the Sw. term used la
the same sense, hack-polaa. q. jniaeed por
ridge. Haggles retains the form of the 8. v.
hag. In Gael.it is tagais, as there is no h in
