"I have brought your tea," It was the voice of the dragoon that roused id from my siesta, as he stood by my dwk chair, tea-cup In hand, as wbolu some a ft&evltut-n of young Euglaud (five feet eleven la flannels) as you would meet any day between Port Said and the Gulf of Aden. His face Bhowed that he was brimming over with a matter of weighty Importance, so I gathered my, self together and prepared to listen and advise thereon, for, being an old stager, I was used to the eonflikmee of subalterns. "Pact Is, I'v been hard hit," began the dragoon, sitting down on the deck. "Miss Stanton?" I Inquired, sympa thetically, for that young woman on her way to marry a planter, had worked havoc among the unappro priated masculine hearts. "Miss Stanton! No. I mean the wo man who stts next you at table, the one with the beautiful eyes." "My cabin companion, Mrs. Trlnder! She is probably going out to join her husband," I added wamlngly. "Oh, no. She's a widow. Hunt of the Fourth told me all about It; he bus an uncle who has a place close to old Trlnder's. and be. Hunt, I mean, knew tbeni well by sight. Old Trlnder was old enough to be ber father. He made ti pile In cotton or something of the sort, and died last year." "Well, you know more about her than I do. Though she Is my cabin companion, I have not found her par ticularly sociable" "That Is Just It, one does not get any forarder with her; she won't talk to anybody." "Well, I don't see how I can make her" "But If you were to ask her to tea or something of the sort" "And ask yu to meet her, of course. I don't mind; so be here at four to morrow," and I proceeded to scribble a note to Hunt of the Fouth, In con sideration of hi uncle having known old Trlnder. . Somehow, that' tea was not a suc cess, although the cook surpassed hlm SBlf In tea-cakes, and that subtle C. Ivor of stewed cockroaches that pr vados the ship tea was reduced to a minimum. Hunt contributed many anecdotes of kit uncle (who knew old Trlnder), but Mrs. Triuder would not be drawn Into conversation. The sound of the dressing-bell broke np the party, leaving the dragoon baf fled in his object, but more In love than ever. He was one of those men who take the complaint seldom, but Daury; and Mrs. Trlnder, with her slim figure, big eyes, sweet smile and monosyllables, was In his eyes the perfection of womanhood. "You'll come ashore?" said the dra goon, four hours later, as we steamed slowly Into harbor at Aden, I consented, for a coaling ship Is not a delectable place; but, in spite of all pervading dust, Mrs. Trlnder could not be persuaded to accompany us, and we loft her surrounded by a swarm of native merchants, who, with unerring Instinct, marked ber as an easy prey. The Journey to the empty tanks was as Jolly and dusty as ever. Having In spected the few trees, we commenced our descent, and in so doing came across the Worst-tempered Man. In the coara of an eventful life tt has oM-u my misfortune to foregather witt many bad-temperd mortals, but this one could give points to any two other men of my acquaintance. He was an ill-favored, unwholesome looking individual, with puffy cheeks and watery eyes, betokening a too great altiuity for the Insinuating peg. His carriage had come to grlf on the road, and be was standing among the debris apostrophtelng. From one or two expressions borne after us on the breeze, we learned with sorrow that he was to be a fellow passenger to Bombay. "On our return to the ship a couple, of hours later, I found Mrs. Trlnder sitting In her cabin among her pur chases, wearing a very frightened ex predion; she was a timid little thlwfc', and about as fit to knock about, t'jo world alone as an unfledged rn titty having evldeutly been kept In a band box all her life. "They've put a madmau next door," she began In a low voice. "He's dreadfully violent. Listen." A string of Hindustani iuvectlves, mingled with blows falling on some dull substance, and exclamations of "Sahib! Sahibl" reached our cars through the open grating that headed the partition walls of the two cabins, and I recognized the accents of the Worgt-tetupered Man. "IV t only temper," I said, renasur ingly; "you will get used to that sort of thing. He's beating his servant, and you may bo sure the 'boy' is well paid, or he wouldn't stand It. If the man swears too loudly, 111 speak to the captain." , "Beotl&ff M mi 1 tat 1 How dread ful , Let u to op on deck." Outside we o&mo upon the , white robed "boy" rubbing his shoulders, wlftt a smile oX iattsfactlon upon his fao. . . .. . "Sticks?" I inquired, sympathetically. The "boy" grinned. "Sahib make plenty bobbery," ho replied. That uff ht, leaning over the prow of the vnssel, watching the glimmering, fantastic lights In the phosphorescent waters, Mrs. Trlnder waxed confiden tial, and I teamed the reason of her journey. She was unused to traveling, hav ing never been fifty miles away from home before. Ten years ago she had loved and ben beloved; but the lovod on was Ineligible, and her par ents, fully alive to the advantage of wool, bad persuaded her to marry old Triuder; but now that she was on her way to India to seek out her early love. They had always been faithful, though they had not corresponded (that would have been wrong) but she had frequent news of him from a mutual friend. That he sttll eared for her sepmed cer tain, for he had i.ever married, al though he had aiuuued a good posi tion. There was something touchlug In her simplicity, and I felt a greater Inter est than hitherto In the little woman, and a decree of iwpect for her child like fidelity. "You have written to say you are comiug?" I Inquired. "Oh, no! I could not do that; It would saeni like asking hi m to marry me. But I know he is In Bombay; I shall see him, and then" She broke off with a happy sjitle; then, after a pause, continued: "You must have thought me stupid and unsociable; but every moment of the day I am think ing of our meeting and looking for ward to It. If the days would only pass quicker. They are so terribly long." Later In thu evening I reported our conversation to the dragoon, and he took it distinctly bad, for the little wo man exercised a strange fascination over him. The Worst-tempered Man was a source of much annoyance to the pas sengers generally, and especially to my cabin passenger, who Bed from his presence. His laajniage, too, was not always confined to Hindustani, and al though one could uot help admiring the breadth of his vocabulary, I felt It my bounden duty to report him to the captain, who moved him to the port side of the ship, which caused fur ther deterioration In his temper. One morning we were awakened with the glad tidings that Bombay was In sight. It took Mrs. Trlnder lit tle time to dress aud collect her Im pedimenta; before I was up she was on the deck, where I Joined her later. The passengers' luggage was being drawn up from the hold, and near the saloon cwmponion way sat the Worst tempered Man's servant upon two portmautaux, bruised but cheerful, counting rupees Into a small canvas bag. There were a goodly number, the price of many beatings. "So we are really, there at last," be gan Mrs. Trlnder. Then she suddenly stopped and stared at something In front of her. Following the direction of her eyes, I encountered a portman teau', and read the .ascription In white letters, "Pentium B. Da vena nt." Then I understood. At that Instant the Worst-tempered Man appeared. He looked at Mrs. Trlnder, aud for the first time their eyes met; a dawu of recognition broke over him. "Is It possible?" he began. j Mrs. Trlnder bowed. "You have a tlae-table," I Inter rupted, quickly; "kindly tell me what time the evening train starts for Poo nah." Before he had answered my ques tion Mrs. Trlnder was half way down the companion, ntiil when I went into the cabin a few minutes Inter she was sitting forlorn on her cabin box, the picture of disappointed hopes. The blow had been a hard one. "Everything seems to have come to nn end," she said mournfully. "I dont know what to do or where to go." "But I do. You will come with me to Poomih, aud stay there until you have decided on your future." Then 1 returned to the deck,' where I found the dragoon standing by his guncnse, his face gloomy and clouded. "My leave Isn't up for a week yet," he remarked, "so I'm going up coun try for a big shoot." "You won't do auythiug of the sort. Mrs. Triuder is coming to slay with me." "And her friend too?" I pointed to the deckhouse, where stood the Worst-teiupered Man, peg gloss In hand and profanity on his Hps. "That Is he," I Maid. Thp clouds cleated from the dra goon's face Instants neously.

It was shortly after the battle of the Thames, and General Harrison, the hero of Tippecanoe, was the most talked of man In Washington. A lady of great beauty and high connections said to the President: "General Harrison has received my commands to meet roe here this even ing." "But that he cannot do," said the President, "because he left Washing ton this morning, starting from this very house with bis horse and attend ants, and must now be some forty miles on his way to the West." "Still, I laid my commands upon him," said the lady, "aud he Is too gal lant a man to disobey me." Somewhat nettled, Madison replied: "We shall see, madajiie, whose com mands he obeys." The words had scarcely left his lips when the door opened and In walked General Harrison and his staff. Mad ison frowned and turaed away, while her ladyship laughed la triumph. New York Press.
