Another Love Match;
"So tins in your holo business with

lmiitpr, iu n not very iiromisina toiio.
Surely that jpuiiR bnmstoi' hnil boon
wildly iresumituo.u when he. with his
moilernto income. Ins trilling iinietice,
had come, to uslt the banker for tho hand
of his only daughter.
Tlio young man's fnoj (lushed hotly,
but ho kept his, Be'.f-coinmtiuil, replying
with ndmirnblo eoolncn,
"Thia is my solo business with you
to-day, Sir. Forrester. I havo coiuo to
j-ou, hoping for tho eomidcraliou which
man should show to man, independent
of position, social dilTerenee, tho world's
opinion, or anything outsido this ono
fact. I, with all tho forco of my man
hood, lovo your daughter, and ask your
perims.nou to go to her and tell, her of
it. You havo not auaweiod mo yet, sir."
'Oh, it won't take mo long to do
that," tho banker's toiio was rather
ironical. "I havo but ono daughter,
and I havo very illfteront plans for her
future. You understand mo?"
i'i cannot fail to do so." Tho young
mail's faco was white now, and had a
littlo Btcmnoss in it. "May I ask
whether you speak in this manner solely
becauso you know I am not wealthy?
Would you speak differently were I
xroll, not a struggling barrister I"
"Oh, I havo no personal objection to
yon, enul Mr. rorrebtor, carelessly,
playing with n paper kuifo on t,ho fable
bosido him ; a costly toy of ivory and
gold, ono of Iho curiosities brought' by
him from Egypt some yo.iw before.
'You do mo no justice, I nm con-
lldeut," Dick Alvon pursued, a sort of
dignity on . his flno, bloudo f.ios. "You
understand fully that Jhss iorrostor's
position, j-our own reputed wealth,
havo had nothing to do with this inter
view. I havo hesitated to speak beoauso
of them ; but I fancied that even I,
poor mid pbscure as I am, had tho
right'to mako'a trial fur tho happiness I
craved. I havo comu to you solely as a
man, Sir. "Forroster, hoping to ilnd iu
yoiij iko, sympathy ol ,,. man for man,
castitlgJaido Jor tho moment nil other
mnsideralion!''' h,
"That, is quite, suflicieut, sir." Tho
banker spoko 'indifferently, still playing
with th'o pretty toy. "It is of no con-
sequonco what you fancied. Yon will
understand that' henceforth Miss Forres
ter is, n strangar'to'yoii,"
'11 it is Her ilesire, sir.
'Showill havo nothing to do with it;
sho will ui)t qven knuv of your your
prosumption. X am fully oapablo of
judging for my daughtor."
Ho was no(. quito so indiliereut now,
and tho youug lawyer arcsj from his
seat.
'And I for mysolf, Jlr. Forrester,
having.reoohod-tho-iigo of disoernmont.
I will havo no iuleiview with Jlisa
Forronterr with your lirrmUsIon, should
you kiurfly givp it"'
r "Anil siiouiii j witiinoiii my per
mission?"
Tho banker was becoming angry, and
Ills tyes' werol iiyi cold as ho surveyed
his visitor. Tlio young man bowed.
'You will not do so, lest I Hud my
self. 'coWrainedt to iesort to means of
means of having ono without," ho said
quietly. "I am still under tho im
pression that a man should allow no
other to (-peak for tho woman ho loves j
tliat lio would try to win, let wnat may
stand iu tho way and 1 tako my llnal
dismissal from Tier alone."
Tho banker pitchod asido tho toy, nnd
rising, motioned tho young man baok to
ins belli, wiiuu uu juu uiu ueu.
j;Thi3 is quite, .rufrobliin," ho said
ironically; being entiruly uulooked
for and unusual ;butyo'ii 'shaU: bo

summons. 14'JMl JlissFormster fwish
to beo her at ouco if sho is disengaged."
Tho Bcrvaut vanished, and tho two
rden stooil facing each other in perfect
silence.
Fivo minutes, ton, llftoeu, went by4;
then thero wasantstlbof silken drapery,
tho door opened, and a beautiful girl
entered tho room. IJo.iutful? Well,
uot , perhaps with tint simple beauty of
chikellod featuros but a girl, beautiful
with tho beauty' 'of it true woiiuinhood ;

will Bhbwing lu chin and eyes' to mako
ono fully understand that fiho would
hold her own iu a Btruggle.
Sho had known tho young lawyer for
six mouths, lia 1 met him hero nnd there
for ho was received iu tho best society ;
sho had danced with him uud found him
it good, 'dancer rpio had talked with him
aniWound-lum, 'perhaps, n trillo more

flatey tnahoj llid Wuhl her ;more thau
'others, nnd 'with' the tlawuiiig of tho
kuowlodga had como n now pleasure to
her. Unliko most young ladios of tho
present day, IjcoU Furrgstcr did not

Her father frowned haughtily n$ ho
stopped fovwni'.l In ll.uo tj proveut tho
young man touching tho oliered hand.
"LeoLi,"ho eaid. lin f jitcrnly, ','1 Kent
for you that you might- assist mo to
convince this this geiltlomau tlut.you
still olwy mo."
Sho looked front oao to tho other' with
open, wondering eyes; tho yoiulg man
was deadly rule mid his lips weio
firmly set; indood, ho looked very un
liko a lover, but very h.inds'ime.
"You will kindly cling to foots, Mr.
Forrester," ho said quietly, nnd tho
banker flushed angrily.
"What do you intend to imply?
Havo yon more insolence to oiler ?" ho
asked.
"I offer no iusoleujo,'1 Diok uiiBwcrod

thanked him. "I simply nskeil your"
"My permission to make tuyU.iughtor
nn offer of yourlinud -mid fortune, was
it not?" the old man broka in woitfie?:
ingly, "and I decline tho offer, in her
namo. Doubtless you would ltko very
well to woo and win an hoiross, Mr.
Alvon, but, as I told you, I havo other
views for my daughter."
"Papa " Leola had not taken tho
chair Dick offered her, but stood near
it, ono hand resting on the back "for
sliamo, papal Is it ncajsi-ary to insult n
gentleman who pays your daughter so
great a compliment? Since you havo
spokon so rudely to Mr. Alvoa, perhaps
it would bo as woll for him to apeak to
mo on tho subject. 1 will answer him
as a woman can answer such things,
papa ; I"
"You will tell him that his pro-
sumption is iusufferablo, ' her father
said, still angrily. "You will tell him
tliatyou and I can manage to exist with
out counting a boggarly lawyer nraong
our acquaintances."
"I do not think I will quito say that,
papa," tho girl said, her ckeoks flushed,
her eyes glowing. " I will say solely
what my heart prompts. I nm listening,
Mr. Alvon," turning to him, a slight
tremor in her voice.
Dick had been verypatient, considor-
ingthat ho was not usualoy slow to auger.
He was rathor p.ilo still, as ho lifted
his head and addressed Leola.
"I nm what I havo just been called,
Miss IForrester-a beggarly lawyer; but
I am a man for nil that. It may scorn
as strnngo to you as it does to your
father that ono iu my circumstances
should think of lore or a chauco of
happiness boing unablo to purchase it ;
and yet I wrong you I you will listen
patiently while I tell you that I liavo
grown to lovo you with a man's best
love, nnd ask if there bo not a chauco of
my winning you. ot now, whllo 1 can
offer you but my empty lmud and honest
lovo ; but somo timo when I havo won
n way and drawn Biieeois to mo by tho
efforts I can and will niako with .such a
hope before me. If thero is a voice in
your heart that would speak for mo do
notBilenco it. I am saying this to tho
woman I love, not to Mibs Forrester, tho
bcllo and Jhciross. Will you answer mo
hero iu your father's pioienco? I would
take no answer from him ; I would tako
an answer only from your own lips.
What will itbo?"
His 'words, which had mado tho veins
on tho banker's forehead swell with
indignation, moved Looln strangely;
she flushed and paled, nnd thojiand on
tho chair began to tremble.
"And I havo told you sho wants nono
of your love," Mr. Forrester broke out,
impatiently. But his daughter turned
to lum with u sudden gesture which
bilenced him.
-tj'How much yon are mistaken, papa,"
sho said clearly; "for I do want it all

expiation would purge it nway. Thero
aro 20,000 penitents and as thoy aro

it will readily be seen what u formidablo
hydra tho Now Moxiciu Judges havo to
deal with. It is only the powerful
influence of their priests that keeps thorn
at all within bounds. The public sorvioos
of expiation nro held onco a year, in
Holy Week. There is nover any lack of
expiauts. An imago of tho Virgin is
placed in the centre of thu church, or in

bed of living thorns the penitents march
with naked feet or crawl along on bare
knees, calling piteously tho whilo to the
Virgin for forgiveness of their Bins. As
if this wero uot sufficient, they acourgo
themselves with great bundles of
cactus tiod together on a thong, and
slash themselves with knives. The
natural result of theso horrible exorcises
is n death now and then, mid many

Thoactivo principle of tea is a "crystal-
lino alkaloid, tho Uicinc, a compound
bolouging to tho sumo class as strych
nine, and a number of similai vegetublo
poisons." This is tho character of the
drink which is ser od nt least once a day
on every table in civilization. That
which dolinato women by the million sip
is o deadly alkaloid, of tho Bamo class
as strychnine, a drug so deadly that
the mcro mention of its name scuds a

is to wasto tlio system, or consnmo food

fact that whilo nrsenic, n deadly poison,
will produce tho same effect on tho
human system as tea tliat is, it, like tea,
checks tho wasto of tissue, and lias the
effect to make food appear to go further."
Tho writer takes up tho matter of tea

produces tof exaltation, all of which Mr.
Williams lumps together umler tho head
