A Pair of April Fools.
Continued from last i.sue.
In comfortable bachelor apart
ments uptown, a handsome, blond
young fellow eat before the fire hold
ing an open letter in his hand, which
trembled slightly with emotion of
some sort. Hie face wore an expres
sion of extreme astonishment min
gled with joy.
'What can it ny-an ?" he said,
aloud, the puzzled look deepening in
his handsome ejea. " 'I have receiv
ed your letter,' the save, and I hav
en't written her a letter. I wonder,
byfJeorge! That's it! Jt is the

eu some rej.utai.on more reputation
man money, in iaci, as is irequentiy
the case, and last year he had pub
lished a book which had been fairly
successful; but the proceeds from a
"fairly successful" book don't go
very far towards filling the author's
pocketbook. Jack Akers had been
lionized a good deal, but he had the
rueful consciousness, that comes
sooner or later to most young auth
ors, that "all is not gold that glit
ters;" and the gold being conspicu
ous for its absence, he would never
have dared to ask Nan liarton, the
daughter of a wealthy and success
ful physician, to marry him.
Jlis ecstatic meditations were dis
turbed by a maid entering to litcht
the gas.
"'1 here's a bay downstairs, sir, who
insists upon seeing you," she
said.
Jack frowned at the interruption
of his pleasant thoughts.
".Send him up," he said, with
slight impatience. A moment
later Ted JJartou stood in the
room.
"Why hello, Ted! This is a-
pleasant surprise. Come up to the
lire," said Jack, cordially, surprised,
nevertheless, at seeing w ho his visitor
was.
Ted came straight over and stood
beside him.
"Mr. Akers," he said, bravely,
"you received a letter from my sis
ter Nan this afternoon, didn't

A sudden intelligence shot into
Jack Akers' handsome eyes. He
held up the dainty missive, and
emiied. f
Ted's face grew very red, but he
did not hesitate.
"Mr. Akers, sir," he said, earn
estly, "you must not blame our Nan
for that. I've come to tell you all
about it." Then, swallowing very
fast, Ted blurted out the whole
story. The line eyes of the young
man before him never left his face
until he had finished, aad that Jack
Akers put his arm about the boy und
drew him gently to liim.
"Well, Ted, "my bov," he said,
i ..l . . i i .
Mijuiv, iw you mi uk it was a very
manly thing to do." j
--osir, answered leu, in a
strangely chocked voice, "I think it
was beastly mean ?"
"I am sure you think so, Ted, and
I am glad you came here and make a
clean breast of it. It was the right
thing to do; and since you have done
this, I believe you are a boy to be
trusted. Do you think you could
keep a secret, Ted ? If " I should
trust you with one, you would not
betray my confidence ?"
" Us thy servant a dog V " asked
Ted, indignantly.
The strong mouth under the taw
ny mustache twitched slightly, but
Jack continued, gravely:
"It's jnst this, my boy: you must
keep all this a strict secret Nan
mu3t nevery know but that I
wrote that letter. Do yon under
stand ?"
"Why !" cried Ted, blankly, "she
will have to know ! Do you think I
expect you to marry jNau whether
you want to or not?"
Jack laughed softly and tighten
ed his arm about the boyish fig
ure. "But what if I want to Ted ? !
Suppose I should tell you that my
desire, above all others, has been to i
marry Nan, but that I feared to ask i
her because I have not a line home i
to take her to."
Ted gazed at him with startled
eyes.
"Ia it the truth, honor bright ?"
lie gasped.
" 'Honor bright,' Ted," replied
Jack, smilhng.
"Glory !" shouted Ted; he couldn't
help it, the relief was so sudden.
He gave Jack a hearty slap on the
shoulder, and then went off into a
sudden peal of merriment.
"It's as tgood a3 a circus !" he
shouthed.
Jack smiled indulgently.
"Yon have done me a good turn,
Ted," he said, "byt you deserve no
thanks for it." Then the smilliug
eyes grew grave as Jack continued,
seriously: "Never do such a thing
apain, my boy; practical jokes seldom
turn out well. And remember," he
added, as Ted was departing, "Nan
is not to know."
"Mom's the word!" replied Ted,
emphaticlly,

When o:;e thinks ( what the Ameri
cans have done in a hundred years of in

ought to he impo-: ihlo i them in the fu
ture, considering the inexhaustible re-
sources at their uiposhiou.

000.000, tho American treasury .it Wash
ington, in spite of corruption, which it is
well knowa docs exist, l:a:5 u surplus of
$00,000,000. While Kuropean govern
ments cudgel their wiu to devise means
for meeting tho expenses of absolute
monarchies, the Washington government
Ls at a lo'-j to know vl;;.t to do with the
money it has in hand. While tho Euro
pean telegrams in the tli.ily papers give
accounts of reviews, mobilizations and
military maneuvers, of speeches hi which
the people art? remind--d that their duty
13 to serve t tie ir emperor first and their
country afterwards, of blasphemous
prayers in which Cod is asked to bless
soldiers, swords and gunpowder, the
American telegrams announce the price
of corn and cattle, and tho quotations
on the American Stock Exchange.
Happy country that can get into a
stato of ebullition over a presidential
election or the doings of John L. Sulli
van, while Europe in trembling asks her
self, with tho return of each now spring,
whether two or three millions of her
Hons will net be called upon to cut each
other's throats for the great glory of
three emperors ia search of excitement!
America is not only a great nation,
geograpmc
speaking.
iho Americans are a great people,
holding in their hands their own destiay,
learning day by day, with tho help of
their liberty, to govern themselves more
and more wise! v. and aide, thanks to the
profound security ia which they li ve, to
consecrate all tin ir talents i;nu all their
energy to the arts of peace.
The well read, well bred American is
tho most delightful of men: good society
in America is the v. itllest, most gonial
and most hospitable I have met with.
Eut the more I travel ami the more I
look at other nations, the more con
firmed I am ia my opinion, that tho
French are the happiest people on earth.
The American is certainly on the road
to the possesion of all that can contrib
ute to the well being and success of a
nation, but he seems to me to have
missed the path that leads to real happi
ness. His domestic joys are more shad
owy than real. To liv e in a whirl is
not to live well.
Jonathan himself sometimes has hia '
re-rrot3 at finding himsplf .Ir-ivi-n W I
such a frantic race, but declares that it
is out of his power to hang back. If it
were given to men to live twice on tliis
planet, I should understand his livhag
hia first term a l'Amcrieaiue, so as to Le
able to enjoy quietly, in his second exist
ence, the fruits of his toil ia the first.
Seeing that only one sojourn here "3 per
mitted us, I think the French are right
in their study to make it a long and
happy one.
If the French could arrive at a steady
form of government and live insecurity,
they would be the most enviably happy
people on earth.
It is often charged against tiie Ameri
cans that they are given to bragging.
May not men who have done marvels be
permitted a certain amount of self glori
fication? It is said, too, that their eccenrricit-r
constantly leads them into foliv and li

"Oh, perfectly ri."ht. colorel. In
fact, for .six years pa-.t I've never peon '
it done any other way. You'll fin.', the
authority on page aJ, Field Artillery
Tactics of isv.4."
For a moment FraT was dtirnb. lie
had long hoard oft'riiin as an expert in
his own branch of the service, but
presently he burt forth:
"Well, in our tactics there's rea -on
for every bles,-.l tiling wo do. l.ci I'll
be dinged if I cua toe rhyme or rea ori
in buch a format : m as that. Why,
fdr, your one company takes up more
roo:n than n.y six makes twice as
much of a show. Of course if a com
bined review is to show off tho artil
lery it's all very well. However, go
ahead, if you think you're right, sir,
g'o ahead! I'll Inquire into this later." .
"I know we're right, colonel: and as
for the reason, you'll M-e it when you
open ranks for review and we come to
'action front;' then our line will be ex
actly that of the infantry. Meantime,
sir, it isn't for us to go ahead. We've
gone as far as we can until your adju
tant makes the next move."
lint- Fraxton had ridden away dis- r
gustod before Cram wound up his re- ;
marks.
"Go on. Maj. Minor: just run this
thing without reference to the battery. ;
Damned if I understand tbeir methods.
Let Cram look after his own affairs: if
he goes wrong, why it's none of ova '.
concern."
And so Minor had nodded "go ahad"
to Mr. Drake, and presently the whole!
command made its bow, so to spoak. to
Minor as its immediate chief, and then
he drew sword and his untried voice

became faintly audible. The .orders:
"I'repare for review" and 'to the rear j
open order" were instantly followed
by a stentorian "action front" down at
the left, the instant leap and rush of j
some thirty nimble cannoneers, shouts
of "drive on!" the cracking of whips, j plain matters. Minor presumed ilmt

was chafed still more to hear in a sil- i

unwelcome words: "Oh. wasn't that

to pull in some of the plumage of those
confounded "woodpeckers," as he
called them, before the day wa over.
