The flood of the tidal wave of tour

had aet In Reginald Falrchild. an
American gentleman of means, bad
been s|iendlug the summer and a part
of the autumn abroad and was return
In* on an ocean Hner. Mr. Fnlrchlld.
though he had reached middle aire,
was still nnmarried He had t>ecn
much abroad, where society la made
up. or at least led. bjr aristocrats.
Mr. Falrvhild was coming home
from hla trip especially dissatisfied
at being obliged to resume his |<osltion
with what he called the commercial
1 aristocracy of America. This was the
more trailing because In his veins ran
1 the blood of that older aristocracy
whose menil-ers had l>eon leaders In
colonial time*. Ills family had felt
themselves better than soap boilers
Now, there were soap boilers who felt
themselves better than he Some of
them at least lived In far better style,
spending thousands where he spent
hundreds
One day when the wind was fresh
Mr. Falrchild was walking the deck.
A lady sat In a steamer chair wrapped
In rug* with a little writing case be
fore her. evidently getting up her cor
respondem-e. She was |>erhnp? twen
ty-four years old and very pretty, with
light English hair and rosy complex
ion. There was about her the air of
one whit had mingled with well bred
persons. As Mr. Falrchild passed her
she very naturally ral?ed her eyes
frvm the paper before her, but, seeing
his gare fixed upon her. Immediately

II LADY AMELIA
|| P01NDEXTER
'? An Experience on an
Ocean Liner
;; By RUFUS B. HENDERSON
- in 1 | II I II II ?l-l-M-H-i-H-H-H
Mr Fnlrchlld walked bnck and forth
paat the lady n number of times, and
?very time ho thought hor more charm
ing. She faced the lnw of tho vessel,
the motion Increasing tho force of tho
wind. Walking aft. Mr Fnlrchlld m*
a sheet of writing paper blo^vn pa?t
hlni and Nv-omo pinned hy tho wind
to tho atorn rait. Whon ho reached
tt ho took It tip. It was a partly fin
ished letter- a family crest atamivd on
tho pn|<or and ho could not holp soe
itifc tho first words, which wore "My
I>ear Duchess."
Mr. Faltvhlld. assuming that tho lady
engaged at hor corres|?ondonce had
written and loat tho papor. turned to
ward hor. Hor back was to him, an?l
she did not look around. Ho hosltatod.
being temptod to road tho lotlor with
a view to discovering tho social statu"
of tho writer, but tho habit of gentll
Ity was too strong |u him, and without
again looking at It ho walked back t<
tho lady and with a courteous bow
asked her If It waa not hor property
She took It front him. glanced al It
aoemed surprised. thanked him and
asked him where he had found It.
The Incident broke the Ice for an ac
quaintance I-ater. when they wort'
talking ft boat the lost letter. 1'nlrchlM |
admitted that he had felt strongly
moved to read It. whereupon the lady,
remarking that there waa nothing In
It to lie concealed, took it from her
writing case and handed It to him,
Fnlrchlld declined to rend It, hut the
lady Insisted, bo ho ran It over. It
proved conclusively that she waa of a
noble family, her older brother being I
an earl and her nephew and nleoea be
ing lords and honorable*. Further
more, tho lady loft lying on hor lap ,
aeveral letters, on one of which Fair
child read the address "I.ady Amelia
Polndexter."
One feature gratea n hit on rmi
child. While the composition of the
letter he read was such as * title*!
lady would write, the chlrography was
defective, thero were one or two er
rors In grammar. and here nnd there i.
word was spelled wrong But the
world Is full of !>ad writers, l>nd
spellers, nnd. as for grammar, a senilis
of literature has admitted that he was
unable to learn the correct use of
"shall" and "will."
Ftlr-hlld remarked npon the crest. 1
and the lady admitted that, strictly
considered her brother, the Karl of j
Entwater. alone had the right to nse
It. Wh?n told that In America, where j
there were no patents of nobility, *1 j
most nnv family adopted a crest who
eoold afford to pay for the stamping
of It on hi* or her writing paper, Lady
Amelia was astonished and said she
didn't think she would like America
at all.
Falnrhlld had a few acquaintance*
among the nobility In England and
spoke of them to hi* new acquaintance. I
She seemed to know all about moat of 1
them and told htm things concerning 1
them he did not know himself. Nat j
u rally refined, not caring to boast of
his acquaintances, he refrained from I
telling her how intimate he had lieen
with them. Rut she had no such
qualms herself This was not surprls
Ing to KalrclUid. for he had noticed
| that persons of rank considered them
: selves a* g< vxl us other person* of rank
and were unconscious of nnythlng
boastful In speaking of them famll
j tarly.
1 Before the voyage was half com
' p'eted Kalrchlld ?aw that he had met
I the opportunity >f hi* life. A pleasing
| vision came ur before him. If he
i coold win Lady Amelia Polndexter he
| would place his property In America
. In the hands of an agent. go to Eng
j Und to live and resnsac a position that
I had been held by fils ancestor* several
centuries tiro. Tlion he would not be
disgruntled by American aoap boilera
and shopkoeiwr* assuming Hint of an
pertorlty over him.
Of course lhi> sister of a liritlah earl
was not to Int won (luring a voyage
across the Atlantic ocean. but I.ady
Amelia showed FilrrUM an invitation
from Mr*. T V. W. HnrkerBovlnfton
to visit her at New|>ort and lie might
follow her there. His family had threa
generations Ix-fore, when New York
and New Knglnnd pwnom had l>egun
to build cottage* at Newport -they
wore really collage* then sjient their
summers there mxl owned a cottage
Many of those now Inhabiting palaf-ea
at Newport had aold Ash and vege
table* to hla ancestor*, hut the preaent
generation knew nothing of that, and
Kalrchlld wn* not admitted to their
charmed circle. However, he could call
upon l.r.dy Amelia at Mrs. Harkcr
Boylngton'a and would l?e welcom?d
is the latter'* friend.
Having asked permission to do thla
and received II, he felt comparatively
easy? that Is. ns to gaining access to
Lady Amelia. As to the matter of
winning her. ho could not bnt consider
himself presumptuous to think of aurh
a thing. Ilesldies, he had but a beg
garl.v half million, and ho sti*|iected the
noble lady was to visit America with a
view to making a match with some
rich man.
Aa the ship neatvd port I?ady Ame
lia grew III at ease. She said that no
arrangement bud l>een made with any
one to moot her and she dreaded land
lng alone and unprotected on the
shores of a new country. Wore she
landing In England her brother would
send his man. Connors, who had been
In the family ?lnce his birth and had
waited uj<on her alnee she was a little
girl. Hut landing In America was far
different.
This "iis gratifying to Kalrchlld,
since It eavp him nn opport unity to
place l.ady Amelia under obligations
to him niul liecuine Initialed to relying
upon him. lie told her that lie wonld
l>e only too happy to nwim her In get
ting her lugirace through the custom
house and would see her to her car
riage nnd to any place she pmjiosed
to go. She accepted hi* offer, hut
somehow that dread she felt In land
Ing In a new country did not dlsap
pear lie assisted her In making out
her "declaration" for the customa ?tH
<ers. and she asked him If she must
declare Jewels she hud Inherited She
had brought them all since ahe wonld
need them In New York and Newport.
He gave her full Instructions on this
point and all others that concerned
her.
When the ship was docked l.ady
Amelia and Kslrchlld atmM together
near the gangway. he carryloc ber
hand baggage He noticed that she
was pale and M'craed to fce laborlnjr
under suspense, lie escorted hw
down the gangway. and they had
scarcely set foot on the dock when a
man stepped np to l.ady Amelia and
?aid:
' Come this way. please"
"What for?" asked Faln-hltd. hrts
tllng.
"I>on't you Interfere, sir. I have s
telegram from Kngland to arrest a
woman answering to her description
I don't think I am mistaken ."
Falrchlld. thimderstnick. followed
the man and his prisoner Into a pri
vate room, where the officer read the
telegram directing the arrest of Mary
Thompson, nmld to l-ady Amelia Poln
dexter, w ho had decamped with her
mistress' jewels and was supjiosed to
have sailed for New York on the
steamer Just arrived. The man then
took a suit case belonging to the ao
called I.adv Amelia and asked for the
key She produced It. he opened the
case, and there, rolled In nndenloth
Ing. was n small fortune In Jewels.
Falrchlld wonld not lielleve hut that
a mistake had been made till he was
Informed that l.ady Amelia had con
sented to go back to England wlthoot
making any trouble, trusting to her
mistress to l>e lenient with her. Then
he gave It up It turned out that Mary
Thompson had been l>orn a servant In
a noble Nrltish family and from con
stant contact wltti Its members had ac
quired the manners of a lady, which
she <-ould assume at will. She and a
valet had concluded to nutke way with
?>me of the- family property, g.i to
America and set up for themselves
The valet nrrlved on the next steimer
and was also taken In.
Tin' timid ImiiI some ">f
her mistress' writing paper with the
family crcst on It. but she wax unable
to write her native language grammat
ically or spell correctly, not having re
ceived mnrh of nn education. She had
been brought Into contact with the
aristocratic friend* of her ml?tress, who
not only knew everybody In the upper
circle* In Fngland, but had been to
New York and 1>eon entertained at
Newport, ttwfeed. her maid tiefore
leaving her had stolen nn Invitation she
hnd shown Falrehlld, having changed
the date. ?
Falrehlld came to believe that ahe
had pnrpoaely let slip the letter that
had been blown i way from her on the
steamer'^ deck to get a grip on him.
but what she Intended to do with him
after getting him he remained In Igno
rance about.
Falrehlld has l*?cotne aoclally mis
anthropic. He Is l>eg1nnlng to think
that after all refinement comes usually
with? or, rather, after? the pgawiM
of wealth, and the fact that a man I*
refined ronies from his anrestora har
Inc acqnlrrd money to be usad In his
refinement. He pries still further, aver
ring that, while la America our aria
tocracy comes from the possession of
funds acquired In trade, abroad It orig
inally came from rob1>ery, most of the
powerful families In England today
having obtained their fortunes from
the dispossession of soroe one who
likely originally stole It from another.
