THE MAID WAS NO FOOL.
Gentlemanly Intruder with Thievish
Intention Compliments the One
Who Foiled Him.
Thieves, If the adage may be trusted,
have a fine senes of humor. This Is the
story of one who was enough of the
fine gentleman to recognize ability and j
admire it, even when itB possessor had
foiled his best laid plans for generous
loot
One afternoon a few days ago the mi*
tress of one of the most beautiful of the
new houses along Riverside drive went
out in her carriage, with the information j
that she should not return for several
hours at least. About four o’clock the
bell rang, and the maid went to the
door. Opening it, she found, smiling in
a polite and friendly manner, a tall, dis
tinguished looking and well dressed man,
who requested' the privilege of seeing
Mrs. Blank for a moment on business of
importance.
“Mrs. Blank has gone out and left no
word as to whan she will come back,"
mid the maid.
"Has she been gone long?” Inquired
the polished stranger.
“About two hours," said the maid.
"Unfortunate," murmured the
stranger^ In a vexed voice, "it is so im
portant. May I come In and wait for •
short time? She may return.”
The maid led the way Into the recep
tion hall and bade the elegant stranger
be seated. He settled himself comforta
bly, and looked around with critical In
tentness. Bric-a-brac, objects of art,
rare bronzes ornamented the tables and
the mantels. The maid sat at a respect
ful distance, with her profile severely
outlined by a window. Fifteen minutes
passed. THS Stranger surrea uaeasuy
tn his deep chair. He spoke:
"I beg pardon, but I think It will hard
ly be possible for me to wait longer. I
shall therefore leave a message for your
mistress. Would you mind providing
me with paper and pencil?"
The maid bowed respectfully and
touched an electric bptton. The polite
stranger watched her with Interest. An
other maid appeared
“Annette, this gentleman desires to
leave a note for madam. Will you please
get paper and pencil from the study?"
She returned to her polite attitude
near the window. Her profile was re
markably well defined. The pencil and
paper were brought and handed to the
polite stranger. H® did not begin writ
ing at once. He paused, as If in thought
Then he looked long and keenly at ths
iilhoutte of the maid against the win*
dow, and wrote briefly. The note was
Inclosed in the envelope and sealed. Hs
rose to his feet, and with a profound bow
handed it to the respectful and attentive
maid.
“Kindly give this to your mistress.
No, It will not be necessary to leave my
card. She will understand perfectly.”
He bowed and was gone. The maid
watched him until his smooth silk hat
disappeared from view.
A few minutes later her mistress re
turned, and the maid handed her the
note. “A gentleman left It, madam,
asking that I should give it to you im
mediately you returned."
Her mistress handled it curiously, ob
served the address with some doubt, and
opened the envelope. She read care
fully twice and then looked inquiringly
at the maid. “What does this mean,
Mary?" she asked. “Here, read It."
Mary took the note and read it Shs
smiled slightly a3 she handed It back.
“He means, madam, that be did not
enjoy his stay, I think.”
The note read:
“Mr*. Blank—Dear Madam: A complete
itranger takes the liberty of Informing
rou of what you are probabLy already ;
aware, and with great pteasure attest* to
Ute valuable fact that your maid is no tool
“Her profound admirer.

CARS OF BRITISH TROOPS.
It la Reported That Officers Are Very j
Much Dissatisfied with Their
Uniforms.
But, for some inscrutable reason, our
soldiers appear to think their uniform
is a badge of shame, or, at least, of
tervilude, says the Loudon Truth. Any
wit-respecting officer, so far as l can
we. would rather die at the head of a
,'orlorn hope than go to a theater oi
restauraut or a private ball full of reg
■mentals. A noncommissioned officer
who sees a brother warrior privileged
u tun cucct, tu ^uiiu lu.ucc
turns sick with envy. No soldier o!
any rank seems to consider that uni
form can enhance his attractions to
the female eye, and the only wav in
which I have ever heard of its being
used for this purpose is by the humble,
impecunious private, who charges a fe- ;
male admirer so much an hour—two
pence, I believe, the usual fee—fo*;
walking out in company with him.
What makes this the more strange is j
that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit- j
ish army. In every foreign country
soldiers—and officers most of all—seem
to be extremely proud of themselves j
therein The effect of smart military ]
uniforms In brightening up & crowd, I
whether out of doors or at any evening j
assemblage, ts undeniable. As a mere;
matter of aesthetics most people will!
agree that It would be a decided Im
provement if uniforms were wom In j
England as they are on the continent, j
And from the merely professional point
of view' I cannot help thinking that it
would be of advantage to the army if
soldiers of all ranks wrere expected to
take more pride In the king’s livery,
and not encouraged so much as they |
now are to consider it a privilege to
appear as civilians.

yUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps «■ a British Bntllcahlj Tils)
CnnafMl F«*nr Among; '
the Crew.
While the British battleship Thun
derer was off Milford Haven, Wale*
not long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechioading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, ths
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the pres
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
shout, three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, ths
other part, of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in thii
case separated from the rest of ths
projectile.
Such acc!dents«-are believed neve*
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as ths
bursting of t,be guns was for s time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
dsmp or there was water in the gun*
So fur as can be seen both guna *r»
