THE MAID |WAS NO FOOL.
Gentlemanly jpitruder with Thievish
Intention Compliments the One
Wmo 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 gentlenmn to recognize ability and
admire it, even when its possessor had
foiled his best laid plans for generous
loot.
One afternoon a few days ago themi»
tress of one of the most beautiful of ths
new houses along Riverside drive went
out in her carriage, with the information
tha.t 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 busiaesa of
importance.
“Mrs. Blank has gone out and left no
word as to when she will come back,"
■aid the maid.
“Has ahe been gone long?” inquired
the polished stranger.
“About two hours,” said the maid.
“Unfortunate,” murmured ths
stranger, in a vexed voice. “It is so im
portant. May I come in and wait for a
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. Brlo-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. The stranger stirred uneasily
in his deep chair. He spoke:
“I beg pardon, but I think it will hard
ly be possible for me to wait longer. I
shall therefor© leave a message for your
mistress. Would you mind providing
me with paper and pencil?”
The maid bowed respectfully and
touched an electric button. The polite
•tranger 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 wa3 re
markably well defined. The pencil and
paper were brought and handed to the
polite stranger. He did not begin writ
ing at once. He paused, a3 if In thought
Then he looked long and keenly at the
silhoutte of the maid against the win
dow, and wrote briefly. The note vu
Inclosed In the envelope and sealed. He
rose to his feet, and with a profound bow
handed It to the respectful and attentive
maid. i ■, j, 1
“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 th«
note. “A gentleman left it, madam,
asking that I should giva 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 She
smiled slightly as 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
Stranger takes the liberty of Informing
you of what you are probably already
aware, and' With great pleasure attests to
Che valuable fact that your maid Is no fool.

GARB OF BRITISH TROOPS.
It I* Reported That Officers Are Very
Much Dissatisfied with Their
Uniforms.
But, for some inscrutable reason, out
soldiers appear to think their uniform
is a badge of shame, or, at least, oi
servitude, says the London Truth. Any
self-respecting officer, so far as I can
see, would rather die at the head of a
forlorn hope than go to a theater ot
restaurant or a private ball full of reg
imentals. A noncommissioned officer
who sees a brother warrior privileged
to walk down the street in plain cloches
turns sick with envy. No soldier of
any rank seems to consider that uni
form can enhaace his attractions ta
the female eye, and the only way 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—for
walking out in company with him.
What makes thi3 the more strange ia
that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit
ish army. In every foreign country
soldiers—and officers most of all—seem
to be extremely proud of themselves
therein The effect of smart military
uniforms In brightening up a crowd,
whether out of door3 or at any evening
assemblage. Is undeniable. As a mere
matter of aesthetics most people will
agree that it would be a decided Im
provement if uniforms were worn in
England as they are on the continent.
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 were 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
•ppear as civilians.
