Sound asleep, but dreaming of im-

from Ids cot toward the south. The

PART ONE.
CHAPTER I.
I found my wife and told her all
ibout it. "You see, Agatha," I said,
"it's going to be rough on old Arch
if he doesn’t. After all, she’s always
promised him the property; It should
go to him.”
The secretary, that is, my wife—I
sometimes refer to her In that way
In memory of a certain six weeks I
and my friend Terhune once spent at
Castle Wyckhoff, during which she
bore that title and 1 fell in love with
her—my wife put down her sewing to
answer me. She was doing me a
knitted tie, by the way. green, with at
least six different stitches in it. Aw-
fully clever at that sort of thing, my
wife.
"Yes, I see,” she said; "but, Wilfred,
isn’t it a little—a little sudden? How
can he expect to get married in so
short a time as ten days?”
It was sudden, surely, and unusual.
But for the matter of that, the whole
thing was out of the ordinary. You
see the point was that an eccentric
old aunt of my friend Archibald Ter-
hune, a Mrs. Georgiana James of Es-
sex, had written to acquaint her
nephew with the fact that she intend-
ed to leave a certain piece of property
which she had long ago promised him
to a third cousin of hers who lived in
America if Archibald did not immedi-
ately get married. In fact, she gave
him exactly and only ten days from
the receipt of her letter In which to
accomplish the holy estate, or, rather.
In which to get himself engaged. The
actual ceremony she would leave to
follow as soon as possible when the
proper order of things should permit.
Arch, when 1 saw him in London
that morning, was in the wildest state
of mind imaginable. He had only just
received the letter, and he’d be bless-
ed if he’d take unto himself a wife at
all, merely to humor the impossible
whims of his Aunt Georgy, much less
accomplish the deed with any such In-
decorous haste. She had always
badgered him to death on the subject
of getting married, and now he sup-
posed this was her way of punishing
him for his systematic disregard of
her wishes.
"Wants to Jolly well push me to the
wall and force my hand!” he told me
indignantly. “She’d do anything to
get her own way, that old woman!
And the reason she says she's bring-
ing things to a climax now is Just be-
cause I’m forty years old today! She
says that if I don't get married soon,
I'll be so old no one will have me!
Fancy that!” His tone was positively
shrill with spleen and disgust. “Just
as if that were so very old!" he went
on, twitching about on his chair and
plucking angrily at his eye-glass
string. "Why, lots of men don't even
begin to think of marrying till they're
forty-five!”
I smiled. The old boy's weak spot
is his love of admiration, and I often
feel convinced that if it were not for
his delight in being considered one
of London’s most eligible bachelors,
and his pride in being one of the most
popular dinner guests in town, he
would long ago have entered the
bonds of matrimony.
"She says," he continued, jerking
over a page of the closely written let-
ter that he held In his hand and glanc-
ing down it as he spoke, “that al-
though she has always looked forward
with pleasure to leaving that piece of
property which represents the bulk
of her fortune, to her nephew, that she
cannot allow herself to do so unless
he complies with her wishes and be-
comes a married man. To bestow so
rich an inheritance upon a single man,
she says, is like putting a premium
on selfishness!" Terhune snorted with
impatience when he had read that last
sentence, but I couldn’t help but ad-
mire the old lady for IL I thought she
must have been something of a char-
acter to express herself so forcibly.
"She goes on to explain,” said Arch,
resuming his reading after letting his
eye skim down the page to the close
of the letter, “that the reason she
limits the days of grace tn which I am
supposed to persuade a girl to prom-
ise to marry me, to ten. is because
she thinks I deserve to have to hurry,
having thwarted her wishes so long,
and that a little anxiety will do me no
harm." His face was s picture as he
read thia, and his voice trembled so
with a mass of outrage that ho could
hardly go on.
“She eeweMtee by saying that I will
bo more likely to achieve the result
she desires, it I am put under a cer-
tain amount of pressure. She knows
my procrastinating habits only too
well!"
¦to glare was so vindictive br thto

Third Cousin, You Know!”
lection. But it was the shortness of
the time that stumped him. He
couldn't seem to see himself an en-
gaged man in ten days, his imagina-
tion somehow failed to sum up the
picture. I did my best to cheer him
up and pointed out that the property,
which was a sheep farm in Australia,
formerly belonging to Aunt Georgy’s
brother, now deceased, and yielding a
yearly income of about 120,000, was
worth having a try for. And as I said,
it might have been much worse. Aunt
Georgy might have insisted on his
actually attaining the married state in
ten days' time. Instead of merely get-
ting engaged, and that I thought
would have been well nigh impossible.
Girls are so queer about that sort or
thing. They must have a trousseau,
and bridesmaids and churches and
fuss and feathers of one kind or an-
other. He would certainly have had
trouble in pulling off the wedding in
such short order. He was inclined to
agree with me. He thought it more
than likely his bride would balk at
such unceremonious haste.
But, by Jove! I know a girl who has
no such foolishness about her —
When I married Dearest
—who had
been the Hon. Agatha Wyckhoff, you
know—she did not make me wait tor
anything. We were married at the
unfashionable hour of seven in the
morning in a certain little well-re-
membered chapel in the village of
Wye, with Mrs. Armlstead, her aunt,
as our only attendant. And then —
but I forgot—l am not telling our
story, but Terhune’s. Poor old chap!
“It you could have seen nlm!" I said
to Dearest, throwing myself on the
terrace at her feet. “Never saw him
in such a state! He was in the wild-
est hurry to begin his record break-
ing campaign for a wife, but didn't
know how to go about It at all. And I
couldn't blame him really. Twenty
thousand dollars a year would make
all the difference In the world to
him!"
CHAPTRR 11.
"And to the cousin In America, with
nine children!" said Agatha.
“Not so very much.” I said. “He’s
very well off, they say. All those
answtaans are. Besides that, Ter*
bane’s really got more right to the
stuff than bo hast A nephew is much
nearer than a third cousin, you
know!" .
.
"Not if he isn't married, apparent
ly," remarked Dearest, but 1 knew she
only said it to tease me.
"O, come, now!” 1 expostulated;
"you know you aren't going to stick
up for a wild westerner from the
American backwoods.”
"Wherever they may be." put in
my wife, who has spent the greater
part of her life in the states and is
fonder of that country than 1 toiuK
she should be.
"From the American backwoods,” I
repeated, “that you've never even
seen, against poor old Terhune! Why,
he probably wears a scalp lock and
brandishes a tomahawk, for all you
know!”
She smiled pityingly at my primitive
notions of American civilization.
"Which?" she said, "Terhune or the
third cousin? You're very ambigu-
ous, Wilfred. Besides, you know lot»
better than that!"
I hung my head in well-affected com
fusion and admitted that I did.
“Don't be a silly!” she admonished,
though I could see she thought my at-
titude a good one, and tapped me on
the head with her thimble. It hurt r
little and I pretended to be very angry
at the liberty.
“Just you stop that!” I cried, sud-
denly flinging my arms around her
and pinning her so tight to her chair
she couldn't speak. “And don’t pre-
tend you’re not going to agree with
me about Terhune! It's a serious mat-
ter, and you know- it! The old boy’s
In a hole and I want to help him out!"
“And you expect me to provide the
method of exit, isn’t that it?” asked
my prisoner as soon as she could get
her breath.
“Exactly!" I said, setting her free
and settling myself in another chair
that was conveniently close to her.
"Pitch in and tell us how to go
about it!” And I leaned back and lit
a favorite pipe of mine for which I
had long ago gained permanent par-
don from Lady Vincent. Which title,
by the way, explains the fact that my
older brother Edmund had died short-
ly after our wedding trip, making me
Lord Vincent instead of Lord Wilfred,
and at the same time my father, the
duke ef Totten’s, heir. At length my
oracle ceased puckering her pretty
brows and spoke. “I think.” she said,
"we might manage it if we gave a
small house party and had two of the
Agathas who stayed with me a year
ago during the time when I was car-
rying out the conditions of my fa-
ther’s will and friend Terhune as the
only guests.”
I withdrew my pipe from my mouth
and my gaze from the broken roof-
line of Wyckhoff castle and the tops
of our famous Wyckhoff oaks, which
was all my lazy line of vision held,
and sat up.
“I know it’s an idea," I remarked,
“but I can’t seem to get the inner
significance of it—a house party for
a week with just two Agathas and
Terhune for guests. How—”
But she Interrupted me. “Yes,” she
said, “so far you’re quite right. But
don’t you see, Freddy, dear, that the
Agathas I meant to invite are Agatha
First and Agatha Sixth. In the first
piece, they are the only Agathas of all
the six yet unmarried, and in the sec-
ond place, they just happen to be the
two girls Archibald showed the most
interest in at the time you two men
were guests at Castle Wyckhoff tor
the first time.”
“Of course,” I cried, “I see it now!
And you think he'll have more of a
chance with them than with strange
gltfls he’s never seen before?”
The secretary, I mean my wife—-
as I say the other name will slip out
occasionally sometimes when I’m
talking of old times —smiled indulgent-
ly. "As I argue it,” she said, "it will
be his only chance. He couldn’t hope
to accomplish anything in ten days,
in regard to a girl he doesn't know,
and if you will remember, Agatha
Sixth showed a marked likingfor him
at that time! A most important point
in favor of his speedy marriage!”
“Then why not ask Just Agatha
Sixth? Why have Agatha First, too?'
I inquired innocently.
Dearest allowed the most delightful
little expression of pity for my lim-
ited masculine intelligence to dim the
brightness of her eyes.

laughing at him.
"It’s no laughing matter!” he growl
ed. "She means every word of it.
She’s gone and notified the third
cousin in America about it. so there II
be no possibility of changing her
mind!”
"is he married?” I asked.
"Nine children," returned my friend
gloomily. "And she’s even Instructed
her solicitor,” he added, “Old Barnes

upon me and be with me at one
o’clock ten days from now, when the
period expires, to see that every-
thing's fair and square about the pro-
ceedings and that I do not overstep
the prescribed time by so much as a
minute!"
“Capital!" I cried unguardedly, full
of an ill-timed, I fear, enthusiasm for
the business-like methods of Mrs.
James.
"You’llhave to Invite him to lunch!
Why, it’s as good as a play! What
an old sport your Aunt Georgy must

“O, hang my Aunt Georgy!” ex-
claimed Arch peevishly, not appre-
ciating my point of view. "Meddle-
some old busybody!”
"And that reminds me,” I said alert-
ly, “how old is she, anyway, Arch?"
“Eighty-two,” he snapped; "old
enough to know better!”
“Old enough to be thinking about
making her will, at any rate,” I said
meaningly. And of course Arch had
in reality too keen an Interest in his
own welfare not to appreciate that
fact without needing me to emphasize
It. He was not the boy—l thought—if
I knew him at all, to sit sulking in a
corner when there was only a little
thing like getting a wife in ten days
between him and a chance at a for-
tune! If he did, he could not certain-
ly be the same Terhune that had
proved so earnest an aspirant for the
millions of the Hon. Agatha, a sum-
mer ago. And I was right. It was not
long before he'd forgotten his disap-
proval of Aunt Georgy’s methods and
was excitedly discussing ways and
means of obeying her behest I
I bought myself the thing didn’t sound
so hard. I thought at any rate that it
would be a regular lark to have a try
at it. But he was much less optimis-
tic, much more downhearted. Not be-
cause he doubted his ability to get
some girl to marry him, for he felt
quite sure on the contrary that his
only trouble would be in making a se-
ONE OF THE “OLD GUARD”

_____
"I One of the surprises of the recent primary
election in Michigan was the defeat of Julius Cao-

Bar Burrows for renomlnatiou to the United

I time in politics and was one of the “old guard,”
VA- being; associated with Aldrich, Hale and the Sena-
TU-I tor Allison tn running the upper branch of con-
,<| l Kress. He entered congress in 1873 and has been
jAjMjX 7 a member of the senate since 1895.
! i /l Senator Burrows was born in Erie county,
’
w J Pa., In 1837. He went west at an early age and

r - $ . jßk Ohio. In his early twenties he removed to Kala-
y . jKgfygp. mazoo and has since been a resident of Michigan.
¦'»/>//jyWVT/V has practised little at the bar. having been in
politics ever since he returned home from two
years of service in the civil war, with (he First
Michigan regiment. It Is recalled by the old inhabitants of Kalamazoo that
Mr. Burrows made a successful prosecuting attorney in the two years he held
the office immediately after the war.
As his reputation as a debater and speechmaker grew, Mr. Burrows
gained political power, and at the close of his term as prosecuting attorney
was appointed supervisor of internal revenue for Michigan and Wisconsin,
but declined the office. In 1873 the opportunity came that he wanted in the
form of his first nomination to congress. *——• J
In the house of representatives Mr. Burrows rose slowly. He was not a
loader and he was not given membership in the most important committees
until late in his career, but he early attained a reputation for being an excel-
lent parliamentarian ami good presiding officer.
As a senator Mr. Burrows has been conspicuous chiefly as an opponent
to Reed Smoot, the Utah senator accused of Mormonism, and as an opponent
to tariff changes that were said to be against the interest of the Michigan
beet sugar growers. Senator Burrows was temporary chairman of the Re-
publican National convention at Chicago and delivered the keynote speech of
the campaign which followed and which placed President Taft in the White
House. The defeat of Burrows by the insurgents is thus an event of na-
tional importance. '
Senator Burrowt is chairman of the senate committee appointed to inves-
tigate the charges against Senator Lorimer.
‘BUTCHER’ WRITES A BOOK
With an unpardonable lack of tact or a slnis
ter sense of humor Gen. Valeriano Weyler has al
lowed the publisher to print the title of his sen
sational book “Mi Mando in Cuba" (“My Com-
mand in Cuba") in letters of gory scarlet on a
paper cover of livid gray.
Whatever the motive
may have been that
prompted such a choice, that bloody “eye catcher"
of a line fitly symbolizes the man and his work.
Weyler has been on trial before public opinion
for butchering his enemies instead of fighting
them; and he flaunts in our faces the ugly stains
that show where he wiped off his knife.
C aptain general of the most fertile province
of Spain (and a province which more than once
manifested her Intention to throw off the Bour-
bon yoke), he makes such a case against the
country that buys his services as no citizen of the United States could have
ever made to justify America’s attitude in the Cuban mix-up.
Weyler was the best hated man in Cuba when the government of this
nation finally recalled him. This book will cause him to bo cursed the length
and breadth of the peninsula.
I wrote It, he says, "to give all the facts about my conduct as general-
In-chlef, a conduct admired not only by army officers, high and low, who wrote
me innumerable letters, but by privates, who, on their return to the penin-
sula, spoke of me with a enthusiastic fervor for which I can never thank
them enough. \ arlous reasons prevented me from doing years ago (when
I could not have freed my mind from a certain bias > a work which I can
now do In perfect peace of mind, thanks to the time that has passed and
which has soothed the irritation due to the injustice I suffered at the hands
3f some men.
"Furthermore, I did not wish to sadden Senor Sagasta by retelling the
story of our colonial disasters; neither did I feel any pleasure In censuring
the illustrious General Martinez Campos, my predecessor in Cuba, however
uncharitably he acted toward me after his return to the capital ’’
