considered this an intimation that I
was not expected to intrude upon his
quarters, and I scrupulously avoided
every approach to them. I know from
tho iirst that all attempts to win him
would bo useless, and indeed I felt too
sorrowful and humiliated to try. Dur
ing the fow weeks that wo rcm-iincd
under tlio samo roof we seldom met,
and I am afraid I did not mako theso
rare interviews at all pleasant. I felt
wronged and miserable, and my wan
face and heavy eves were onlv" a re
proach to him."
"Oh, what a monster, Kale 1"
"Not quite that, Selina. There were
many excuses for him. One day I
saw a paragraph in tho Times saying
that Lord Itichard Talbot intended to
accompany a seientifio exploring party
whoso destination was Central Asia.
I instantly sent and asked my husband
for an interview. I had tiitnni1r.il
dressing myscit with care for tho
meeting and making ono last effort to
win tho kindly regard, at least, of nun
wnom i could not help Iovintr. But
some untoitunate fatality always at
tended our meeting, and I never could
do mysell justice in' his presnce. Ho
answered my request at once. I sun
poso lie did so out of respect and kind
ness; nut, tno consequence was ho found

"Now, Kate, do tll mo all, dear,

"You were never moro mistaken,
Selina. Tliero is no lovo at all in tho
affair. That is tlio secret of tho whole
position. I thought that as vou worn
staying hero this week, and might
probably seo or meet my lord, it was
better to make all cle ar tn vnn. Pim.

"To bo sure. dear. i Hiinnnan T.nr.l

anything toward a reconciliation. I
should bo so happy, you know."

"It might easi v have linen munli
sadder. I am going to tell you the
exact truth, and I rely upon your lion

"My dear Kate. I would not timiin it
for the world."
"Listen, then. One night when I

for months that ho was dvinn-' If,.

the present Lord, my husband. I was
a shy, Bhrinking ghl, without any

very timid nnd embarrassed in my

that it was necessary for tho good of
both houses that Itichard nnd I should
omiit to sit down beside mo or tn (mm.

" 'Yes, Lady Talbot,' ho said, a little
sauiy and proudly ; '1 shall relieve you

"1 could mako no answer. I had
thought of a good mauy things to say,

ho was soon promoted to a position cf

and so naturally apt was ho in master
ing tho intricacies of Blackstonc, that
in n iow years, he was admitted to the

won a standing on tho tidal wave of
puunu puijuiariiy mat would elect Dim
to Congress as a democrat in tho 15th
District, which in the previous Congres
sional election had given a republican
majority of 4,021. Consequently ho was
placed in nomination last fall by the
democrats, and elected by a plurality of
2,454 votes over tho Hon. C. C. .Tad-
win (Ind. Rep.), whoso term expired
witli tho Forty-Seventh Congress. This
great victory by a young man of only
twenty-nino years of ago over a gen
tleman who had served acceptably in
Congress, and who in age is many
years his senior, is the greatest encon
ium that an appreciative constituency
could bestow on the character and abil

The Meal Beefsteak,
t Any ono can cook n beefsteak in
his mind. As a matter of fact, it re
quires nn nrtist to do it, nnd this view
is slinred by n correspondent who
writes: "A member of mv family has
brought tho cooking of this nrticlo of
food to perfection. Tho first require
ment is not so much n tender nnd juicy
steak, but n glowing bod of coals, n
wire gridiron a doublo ono bo that
vou can turn tho steak without touch
ing it. Tho steak' should bo pounded
only In extreme cases, when it is too
thick. Attempt nothing elso when you
are cooking steak, and have everything
ready for the table, tho roasted pota
toes and vegetables all being in their
respective dishes in thooven, withdoors
left open a littlo way. Prom ten inin-
tucB upwards is needed to cook Bteak.
Tho timo must depend upon tho size,
and you can easily tell by tho color of
tho gravy, which runs from tho steak
when gently pressed with n knife, ns to
its condition, If tho master of tho
house likes it 'rare done,' when
there is a suspicious brown grnvv with
the red, it will bo safo to infer that it
is done enough for him. If tlio next
stage is tlio favorite one remove tlio
steak tho instant tho Bteak is of a light
brown. Removo it to a platter, pep
per and salt it to your taste, nut on
small lumps of butter and then for two
brief moments cover it with n hot plate,
the two moments being sufficient to
carry it to tho tible. Ono absolutely
essential factor in tlio preparation o'f
good beefsteak is that it must bo serv
ed at once. If you can impress it on
your cook that he is not to let tho
steak stand nnd steam whllo ho is do-
iug other things, you will bo likely to
receive your reward for so doing."
