I remembered him well—a Bcoily look¬ ing flguru in o well worn brown over¬ coat, a ruthcr dirty oollur round bis tbtoat, aud an old topper that hail done duty for many n rainy dny, ami was past irouiug. A merry-hearted, good-natnred fellow wag Uudge; ever empty of pocket and open of heart; rather weak-minded, and easily im¬ posed npou.
Ho never kept bis promise of writ¬ ing, and for eight yeara I had beard nothing of him, when, oot Iodk ago, a rap came at my door, and iu oame Charlie Radge, exclaiming:
"Hullo, old chap, how are yon?" "Radge! Why, who on earth would havo thoaght of seeing yoa?"
"Didn't know yoa woro in town, old boy, or I'd have come before. Haw your name in somo paper the other dny and yonr address. Uo here I am." As we talked over old times I ob¬ served him oariously. Just tho trnme old Radge, with the addition of a beavy moustache. His bat was exactly like the same old topper, very napless; bis collar might hare beon the idon- tioal one be had on when I lasi-«iw him, while his shirt front and frock coat were rivaling each other in de¬ crepit old ago. I asked bim to lunch. At flrst he could not stay, havini most important ODgagement in tl city, where ho waa about, it appeared, to preside over a board of direotora Tbe same old liar!

00 Thurs lay I went over to Drixtoo, and after oonaiderable wandering reached a small baok street and knocked at a dingy door, which was openod by a slatternly looking woman, wbo showed mo into a room wbere miuo host awaited me. A curtain hnni; acriHiM tbis room, barely conceal¬ ing a bed and waabatand.
"How ore yon, old chap? Hopo you don't miud small diggings, bnt thoy'ro awfully comfortable. Just one room, you toe; I find it handier than having a fepsrato bedroom—no fng going from one room to tbe otber. We'll bavo supper in a trice. Hope you don't mind a oold collation?"
Tbo "oold ool lation" shortly revealed itself upon a grim; table cloth, aod consisted of amall meager elices of cold beef, a tiotUe ol mixed pickles, some broad and about three ounces ol oheeao.
"Mrs. Wilkins," cried liudge, as that inestimable personage was leaving the room after having laid tbo above banqaet and scattering some knives and forka promiscaonsly npon the table, "we shall waot some cottee, please., Wonld .^oa kindly get u» some. You'll have some, won't you, old chap?"
1 nodded. Mrs. Will^ ntuod with her arms akimbo and scowled.
"Where's the money. Mister Rudge ?"
"Oh, certainly, certainly, Mr.s. Wilkins. Why, dear me, 'pon my soul 1 haven't got anything leas than a sovereign"—Mr.*. WilkiuM fnifT...il. "Eh? Well, if vou don't mind lend¬ ing mo a shilling, old bo;. Thanks awfully."
Radge did tbo honors ol tbe meal in truly aristocratic st;le. Ue became exoeedingl; contliliog:
"Now, old ohsp, I'm going tn tell yon a secret auil put yon ou tu a guod thing in tbe bargain. I've chaiuiue.l up latel; witb a fellow named Mam- worth, wbo'n au awlali; clever chiip and np to all sorts of tips. Well, he's got oue or two of ns to go shares with him in a grand scheme.

Ho was smartly dressed and to'd mo that Marsworth had given him the money, and also that he bad sold some of hi.s shareii for £00 that morning, "as a fsvor to a pal of mine, old chap." Tben about a week after¬ ward 1 had n letter from him sayiug be bud taken a bouse and Hied tbe day of Ibc wedding.
Home few ilnys had elnpseil. It waa past midnight, sud I wai ju»t tbiuk- ing of retiriue, bein,; Ihu onl; one up in tbe houne, when n knock came to tbe iloor. I curufnil; witUilrew tbe bolt and latob. .K man with his coat collar turned up, a raulller over bis fuce, nnl a hat sloucbeil down over his e;e3 dashed iu, almo.st knocking me down. For B monient I was staggered, aod then made a ruth for tbe in¬ truder.
"Hush! For heaven's snko shut tbo door!"
ItwaHRudgo! I sbat and bolted thc dour.
"Wbat do ;ou want?" "Let   m«   come   into ;our   study, please."
I took bim there, and bo throw him- solf into a ohiiir, exclaiming:
"I'm a bunted insn. For the sake of our friendship, don't botray mo. I swear I'm innocent."
"What's thc mattor, Riulge?" "Maiswortbl Forgery  and cmbez- zlement!"
I beau to see daylight. "Wbat, bus he turned ont a fraud?" "Yes; and worse than that.    I'm in it, too.   There's a warrant ont againut ma,"
Tho poor follow began to sob bit¬ terly, and by degrees it all came out. Marswortb bad used him and tha other mau as tools, neither of them having tho slightest idea wbat was really hap¬ pening. Marswortb had known that tbe crash must oome, and bad pro¬ vided for it. He was nowhere to be found. Thc otber man had been ar¬ rested, and Railge hsd escaped by the skin of bis teetb and come to me. I saw he was more sinned against than sinning, and I gave bim my solemn promise that I wonld assist bim in es¬ caping out of tbe conntry. The poor fellow bad been honest abont it, and bad aotnaliv sent tbe hundred pounds to tbo I'ubliu Prosecutor, having, be told mo, some tM left out of the £00 0 bad received for tbe now worthless shares, and witb which he determined to get to America, feeling sure tbe friend who had bought tbem would not grudge the money.
"Bat," said I, "you'll never get abroad, "They'll look for you at the docks sooner than anywhere. Be¬ sides, you're not easily disguised."
"That'H true,"heBaid; "and they've got m; photo, I'm afraid."
Ruiigo bad a very striking profile, bis nose boing a most prominent fea¬ ture.
"Look hero," I exclaimed; "your best ))laa is to make for the Conti¬ nent. How abotit going to Antwerp or Holland, and getting a pawage to Amerida on a North Oerman Lloyd?" "Ab, that's a good thought. We'll decide lo morrow."
I gave bim a shake-down for Ibe nigbt sod kept him concealed in my study uext day, taking iu bis meals myself. He wrote a letter to his next tbst he p. m. trsin from Iiiverpool street to Harwich, He shaved olT his mustache and stained his eyebrows, and 1 managed to get bim a blaok wig. But nothing sufliced for tbat profile of his, and I warned, bim to boware of dxposiog his face loo mucb. I also managed to rig bim out in somo otber clothes, and I gave him u bag nnd sundry requisites,
"Now," 1 said, "1 shall oome down and SCO yon off, so that I oaii go aod tell Miss Saunders you aro sAfe. But as soon as wo get to Liverpool street we'll separate. Do not take any further notice of me. Oo lirst class — it's only a few shillings more; get in tbe carriage at ouee and sit ou the further side, reading a newspaper un¬ til tbe train starts."
He promised to observe all tbose procantionscarefully, and indue time I loand myself banging about tbe platform at Liverpool street, appar¬ ently studying tbo boat train, but reall; keeping my eyes nxed on a par¬ ticular compartment whereiu nat ItnJge. As luck would bavo it there were few passengers tbat evening and he had the cnniparlment to himself. Tho whistle sounded, tbo train began to move out of the station, and I waa congratulating myself that all bad gone well, when 1 saw Radge deliber¬ ately change bis sent'for tbe one nearest tbe platform, exposing his profile as be did so. At the samo in- slant a tall, well dressed individual, wbo bad been lounging about thu |ilatforiu, made a rush for tho car risge. Itudge, catchiig sight of bim, darted back.
".Stond away there!" shouted a porter, cntebiug a man by tbo arm, juht K8 be was about to bo|pil the train.
"You fool I" cried the man, "I'm a police oflicer. 1 ahould have uabbe.l hiin if it hadn't lieen for yon."
"Very sorry, sir," said tho porter. "Hut you oau telegraph."
"Thank yuu for nothing,' said tbe iletcetive, aa he tarned sud rushed to tho telegraph ot&efi'
"Where will tbey catch him?" 1 iiske.l the porter.

To suit n long, narrow face, the hair sbonld bo dressed round, and it is al¬ ways best to show a ooil or so from the side behind tbo ears; also endeavor to fill up the nape of tbe neck as much as possible.
For a sharp featured face, always avoid dressing tho hair right at tbo top of the back of tbo crown iu a liue with tbe nose, as tbis so aceontuates tbo severe outlines. Press tbe bair low down or also quite on tbo crowu top to meet tbo fringe.
For a ronnd face, narrow dressings are becoming, and can bo taken well down tbo neck.
For a bro'Sd face, narrow dreesings nro preferable, bnt thoy should bo kept somewhat bigh.
Exceedingly tall people should keep tho bair dressed ratber low and de¬ cidedly ronnd.
Very short ladiescau have their hair dressed high, as it gives addition to their stature.
It is veryj-aroly wo find purely white hair; it is moro gcuerall; grn;- white, or greeuisb-gray, and with Ihis latter no colors are so suitable asdark- greous, browns, ambers, pnrple tints, deep cream, dark rods and warm shades of dark-blue. —Chicago Record.

Washiuglon received from H lo 10 ou Friday oveningc, tbe alTuirs being modelled on tbo drawing rooms then known to tbe conrt of France. None was permitted to attend, says an old chronicle, except thoso wbo bad high social ami diplomatic rank, and "(ull dross was required of all wbo passed the ordeal of social inspection."
When Dolly Madison was wife of a President, in I'HIS, she was described OS iu tbo meridian of her life and beauty. Radiant and vivacious, she dispensed hospitality and exchanged courtesies with nurivallcd grace, Sbo looked and moved a Queen. Her dress ou one oocasion is described ns of yel¬ low volvet,witb garniture of pearls,and she wore an elaborate head dross uf feathers, "a Paris turban, wilh a bird of paradise plume." Oneof ber char¬ acteristics was tbat she nover forgot a face. It was the custom of thc day to take snuff, and tbo beautiful Mrs, Madison acquired tbe hubit by boing too polito to refuse tbe froquenti; offero'l box. When sbe was given a jewelled snuff-box for her own use sbo was diplomutioall; familiar witb its service. Tboro was no lack of social splemlor, and six horses woro not con sidcrod too man; in those days to convoy a President aul his family from ono sceue of fostivit; to another. There was a mncb closer lino drawn in regard to rank than tbere is nt present. Tbe effect uf a social gathering was made more brilliant than it is by Ihe dress of tbo meu, who followed the slyle of tho court of Frauce.
