Hoy Watch Cases are Made.
It ii a fai-t not generally known that the
Jamrs !os3' Geld H'ufcA Cases reully con
tain more jmre gold than many "sfdM"
piUrasta The tlumand for these watch
cases has lcl to t!ie manufacture of a very
jiior grade of solid RoU watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 to 10 larats,
and a 5 or G karat case is often foi l fr,r 12
or 14 kariit-;. It is not economy to l:uy a
watch case 50 jioor in quality that it will
soon li'se its colur, or ne so soft that it will
ln'-e its hliape end fill to flint tiht, thus
h-Uin in dust n:id tlar.inin the works, or
one so thin that a slight L!ow v. ill break
the crystal, ami perhaps the movement.

WIIEX I AM iOF
When I'm cone you'll remember
The lov that I gave in the pnst,
S iMiiug in cold, bleak December
Fut moments too happy to last.
When I am cone Into, silence,
Vnnr heart-beats will ttiroi for me then,
Leaiiinii on memory for guidance
A battle with madness and men.
When I am eone "o'er the ranees,"
And rest 'neath the Moaaomine sod,
Tr myelins, li'.ie, sviili its ehanuea,
. Will leave tne with poaca and with God.
When I am cone from the heartless.
And vanish from those who pursue,
The world will not hold me faultless.
Though it could not convict uie with yon.
And when the rude world rebuked me,
And howled like a hound on my track,
Tour love shone a glory around me.
Smi'ert in beauty and beckoned me back.
When I am eons the roueh bleaker
That roared throueh the, storm of lire,
Shall sweep me away to my Maker,
And end all Ibis sardonic strife.
When I am lost in the ocean
j That breaks on eternity's shore.
SiV spirit will sriiiie 111 devotion
And foar with your love evermore.

HIS LIFE'S 0.E HOLIDAY.
Tlantlngdon Wayne was thirty five and
hnr! never yet been in love He had worked
hard and well and had made a fortune which
even he felt would enable him to marry
without being recklessly imprudent, and he
oean to think it was time to decide upon a
wife who should satisfy his ?omewhat fas
tidious requirements. She must he of a
stately and noble prepei.ee Wayne hail
ra'ber an idea of a fine woman; not too
young nor too emotional ; Wayne was a
person who hated scenes in short, she was
to be a un.n made to order, and he found
it mora difficult to discover her than he had
at firt supposed.
It was with a feeling of something as akin
to failure as his well regulated roind ever
indulged iu that he ordered his portmanteau
packed tor a fortnight's visit to Newtorj-on-Sea.
and tore himself away from the fasci
nations of ciuh and office life to pay a lone
promised visit to his old friend. Dr. Mai
shall. He had seen nothing of the Marsh
alls for years past, though there was a tie
cf old association between them, and even
something of sadder interest. Five years
ago, when Wayne's uncle offered him a
Derth in the tea business, of which he was
now the head, lie extended a like offer to
Huntingdon's youneer brother, Jack ; bnt
Jack, always something of a hot headed fel
low, took offense at some word or deed of
his elder's and refused the offer. Soon after
he took some post on the east coast of Afri
ca, and went out with high hopes of the for
tune he was to bring back and lay at Het
ty Marshall's feet.
Huntingdon heard of the engagement
with some contempt for the folly which pos
sessed two young people without a peuny ;
but when, three years later, news came of
poor Jack's death out in Zanzibar, the little
bride that was to have been passed out of
his uiiud, and it was only when an invita
tion catae for hiui from the Marshalls, who
were at Newton-on Sea for Hetty's Leiilh,
that the thought of her existence trosstd
him again.
He hitd not even seen her since she was a
little child in pinafores, and when he was
brought up, on the evening he arrived, to
the side of a crimson hammock swuug be
tween two tall pine trees, and introduced to
a slight, pale girl, whose great blue ejes
were raised to his with a pathetic gentleness
and sweetness, a feeling such as in all Ids
thirty-five years of sensible life he had cov
er before experienced shot through him with
a thrill of wonder, and almost bewilder
ment. He took in his own the small, frag
ile, white fingers, and then laid them down
almost revently on the soft cushions amid
which she lay,
I suppose if any one had asked him then
and there whether he believed in love at
first sight, he would have atisWered as con
temptuously as ever; and yet, for all that,
he was as deep in love as ever man yet fell
at one blow, ne told himself it was a pity
a pity that only grew as the days passed
by, and he saw how frail and delicate a
creature her great trouble of two years had
left her, it seemed to him it was bii duty to
try and atone to her for all the suffering
aod loss ane had undergone, as if his life
ought to make up to her for Jaek'9 death,
somehow. Strange, that duty had never
had such a zest and a pleasure in it before.
She was a thing so new to bis experience,
with her pleading bine eyes, her soft little
wavs, a'jd tbe pathos that hung about all
that 9he did and said. Wayne use to sit
and watch ber furtively, as if she was a
creature of some unknown race.
Three days after the first evening and the
hammock, the ideal "fine woman" had died
out of his mind, never to return, anJ before
the week was over, he had said to himself
be, the practical, cool-headed. Huntingdon
Wayne that life without little Hetty would
be hardly worth the living, and that he
mast have her for his own, or die. Practi
cal common senslcal men often take the
hardest form of tbe disease called love.
He spoke to Dr. Marshall before tbe mid
dle of the second week, and asked bis con
sent to win Hetty. The doctor listened
with a good deal of surprise, but ao appear
ance of displeasure, and when Wayne bad
finished, he grasped him heartily by the
band.
'My dear fellow, he said witb somethiug
between a emile and a sigh, 'you have my
heartiest consent and my best wishes, if you
can get Hetty to Bay "Yes." You are almost
a part of poor Jack, and there's no one else
I should eo gladly call my son. Of course it
rests with Hetty; but I know she does not
dislike you, and you roust trust to time for
the rest. Love such as she gave poor Jack,
perhaps the same woman never gives twice
over; but there's do reason why she
shouldn't love you well and make a good
wife. The grief of two years back Is pass
ing away It Is more tbe physical state left
by the shock of that time that wears on her
now. Peihaps she will never be very robust
but you will take good care of her, I'm cer
tain.' 'She shall be strong again, please God, if
I can make her so by my devotion.' said
Huntingdon, while a vision of unspeakable
happiness danced before his mind's eyes a
snow-wbite yacht cruising among smiling
islands in a summer sea, seekicg health for
ber own who was its queen.
'I'll leave tbe business to look after itself,'
he thought, with a glow of rapture, "and
travel round tbe world witb her till tbe col
or comes back to her pale face, and the light
to her eyes yes, and the happiness to her
hear..
Su the fnrtnigl't wore away, and another
was well nigh gone, and yet Wayne linger
ed at Newton on-Sea. lie was never away
from Hettv's side; he fetched and carried
for her like a dog, he was a slave to her ev
ery wish.
Dr. and Mrs. Marshall regarded biin with
undisguised favor. Tom, the enfant tvrri.
ble of the family, voted htm 'no end jolly
and Hetty Hetty liked Mm well ; her eyes
brightened when he came, she mUsed him
when he was away; he was so thoughtful.
so kind, so good, no one could help being
fund of him.
One niht there was a storm, and by noon
the next day came the rew9 that a grat ship
from the Cape had gone to pieces on the Ra
zor Rocks, not two miles away. Nothing
wen id do but that Hetty must go and see it.
There were no liyes loaf, they heard, but the
lifeboat people must wait till the tide fell
before they could get off all the crew, and
Hetty was eager to see the rescue. So Hun
tingdon, of course, volunteered to drive her
and Master Tom to the seen-of the disaster
in Hetty's little pony carriage.
What a drive that was I Wayne will never
forget it while he lives. The hedges were
all a.Mow with the June roses and the honey
suckle, and a hreuth of summer floated up
to them fron the narrow winding lanes.
The pony was fat and Indolent and took its
own time. Wayne would not have hurried
one of Its steps. The sun was setting when
they reached the solitary bay where the
steamer had run ashore, and a golden glory
shone over sky and sea edging the cloud
banks with unearthly splendor, and dyeing
with crimson the shallow pools left by the
retreating tide. The cliff path to the shore
was sleep and narrow. Wayne had to help
Hetty with a tender care. Perhaps life had
never such exquisite pleasure for him before.
Her little ligh: shawl lay over h s arm, her
small hand rested in his clasp. It seemed
to him the world was bounded by Hetty.
Never had his heart beat so high with
hope. Once she stopped to gather a tiny
blue cliff flower, and, after a moment's
pause she shyly gave it to him. Was it only
the sunset glow that mocked his fancv. or
did a delicate color really mount to her cheek
at his low spoken word of thanks?
Out. far out on the low, black ledge of
cruel rocks lay tl:e great shattered ship.
Little boats plied swiftly and safely across
the quiet shallows where the storm waves
had raged not many hours ago. Hetty was
all excitement to aee the rescued people ;
while Tom, with the frankness of his age
and kind, declared aloud th3t this sort of
shipwreck wasn't much good there wasn't
any drowning to tie done !
The thoughful Hunting on had, of course,
brought a telescope, and stood liko the stat
ue of Atlas, while Hetty rested the glass
on his shoulder and watched their boats
land their burdens at the little rishina pier, j
He was in a sort of a rapt dream, hearing j
dimly Hetty a little ejaculations of pittyover '
tne dedraggled aspect of the shipwrecked,
and altogethei ignorant MasterTom's some- ;
what crude chatter, as that youthful tor-'
ment wetted his feet at the margin of the :
tide, and gave his opinion with delightfol
confidence upon matters in general and j
shipwrecks in particular. The sunset glory
grew brighter and more vivid, lighting up i
the sombre cliffs and level waste of water,
and throwing into sharp relief each black
stake of the fishing nets which dotted the ,
bosom of the broad bay. j
It seemed to Wayne that ho would like to
stand just so forever Hetty close to him, '
he her support and comfort, no one to come !
between ; for Tom cettainly did not count
for much. Was it not a type of what all
their life to come was to be ? Crimson glory i
Hetty depending on hfm, his highest hap- j
piness to minister to her. I
Suddenly into his dream rang a shriek, t
wild and terrible. m The telescope rolled j
from his shoulder and splashed into a pool
at his feet, and as he turned to catch Hetty's
fainting figure in hie stalwart arms, with one
lightning flash his eye fell where tier's bad
rested, and saw, in the crowded boat load
just reaching the 9hore, among the bronzed
and bearded faces of the wrecked ship.s
crew, the face of Hetty's lost lover his own
brother Jock ;
Ah! well, well. Wayne behaved capital
ly, every one said. 'Old Don behaved like
the brick that he is after all,' to use Jack's I
own expression, lie took his brother into
partnership, and enabled him to marry net
ty within six weeks Hettv, to whose pale
cheeks the roses had come back, as if by
soma magic spell. He never married.
'Don was an old bachelor before he was in
knickerbockers,' Jack confides sometimes to
his wife
People say he means to leave all his money
to his niece, little netty, who has her moth
er's eyes. And deep In a secret drawer,
carefully treasured from prying e3es. lies a
withered scrap of weed, which was once a
blue cliff flower, and is all that Is lert to

The LimeKils Club. On motion of
Calamity Hastings the mutter of a national
emblem for the colored lace was taken from
the table for discussion. Ha favored a bee
hive himseir, but would not be captious
about it.
Pror. Bannister favored the coon as an
emblem. It represented industry, vigilance
and courage. Colored people were often re
ferred to as coods, anyhow, and the emblem
would cut botn ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the matter
much thought, but his preference was for an
old hen sitting on about thirty-four eggs.
If that didn't represent industty and clear
grit be didn't know what could.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind that
the oi ly emblem he Ttould vote for would be
that of a colored man walking In a shady
lane with a water melon under each arm.
Sit Isaac Waipole favored the figure of a
a black bear; Elder Toots declared In favor
of the beaver; Judge Cadaver would have
nothing but the figure of a black man wav
ing a plow In one hand, a threshing machine
In the other and crying 'Yewreka V
The discussion Dromised to bring forth no
fruit, when the President put a stop to it by
saying:
'Gem'len, at a meetin of de Committee on
Harmony, Art at Agriculchur', held In de
library las' night, an emblem was decided
on. It am dat of an eagle seated on de
fence between a co'nfield an' a tater patch,
while his claws hold a banner on which am
inscribed : 'Hard work will bring you plen
ty of both.' "
The question being upon the adoption of
the emblem, the roll was called and It was
adepted by a vote of 174 to 8. These em

OP.HtIN OF THE RAILROAD.
The origin of the railioad is by some
writers believed to be unknown. There Is
in the Itritlsh museum an Egyptian hicro
glyphic which represents slaves drawing
stories over a road like a primitive tra-nway.
One writer would have ns believe that a
similar device was known in China many
years ago. While ir is admitted that print
ing, gunpowder, ai.d many other things
were familiar to the Chinese before they
were known to West.-rn civilization, jet It is
highly Improbable that anything approach
ing a tramway nearer than a palanquin was
known to them. The earliest authentic
mention of a rail way occurs in the life of
Lord Keejier, Roger Forth, eariy In the sev
enteenth century. About lf70 a double par
allel line of wooden beams was laid ut New
castle.-on.Tun .nH. u.
- j , . ii? ,nit, will IUUI
roneis, orawn hy horses, wes nsed to trans
port coal from the mine to the side of the
river. A fnnge placed at the side of the
beam kept the carts from rolling off tbe raiL
So successful was the experiment that oth-
er coal districts in England and Scotland
followf d the example. It was a great labor
saving scheme, for a horse that could with
difficulty draw only 1.700 without the aid of
this smooth road could now with ease draw
4 200 weight. This was the earliest tram
way, the precarsor of the steam railway
The fiist improvement made on this tram
way was the laying of Iron plates on the
wooden beams; this contrivance reduced
the friction and made less wear and tear. In
176S rails marie wholly of iron were used.
and in 1789 when William Yestop built the
first public railway in England, at Lough
borough, he introduced the edge rail ot cast
iron and changed the flnte from the rail to
the wheel. Finally in 18U8, the rails wer,
made of malleable iron.
Up to 1808 the tramway had used horses
for motors, and in some instances stationary
engines; but met.'s minds had been con
stantly exercised to iovent some method of
drawing cars by means of other than cable
or animal power Watt seems to have been
the first to conceive the idea of nronellino
wheeled carriages by steam, but he was so
engaged in perfecting the stationary engine
that he did not attempt to carry out his idea.
William Murdock in 1782, first censtntcUd i
a model locomotive. Though little more j
than a toy it worked successfully, and trav- !
eiea so last that on one occasion its inven
tor in vain tried to keep pace with it. In
1802 Richard Trevethick and Andrew Vivi
an, two Cornwall engineers, took out the
first patent ever issued for a locomotive.
All the steam carriages and appliances, how
ever, amounted to almost nothing so fat aa
the rubhc was concerned, and it w-as not
until 1804 that any really practical locomo
tive was used. Trevethick in this year built
a second locomotive in south Wales which
drew a load of teu tons of iron ore 5 miles
an bout. From ibis date, 1804 to 1811, very
litle, if ar.j thing, was done to advance rail
roads. Time and iugenuify were employed
to invent some means to keep cars from slip
ping when going up an inclined plane. The
first really successful engine was Invented
by George Stephens, in 1814. It ran 6 miles
an hour, drawing thirty tons. Until lK'JO
there was little progress made. Then Rob
ert Stephenson built the Rocket, which at
tained a maximum speed of twenty and one
half miles, with an average of fifteen.

A Case of Sqcelch. A Chicago drum
mer balanced his chin on the edge of the
seat in front of him, and tickled a sandy
haired passecger's ear with tbe remark :
'You've beeu in Chicago, of course?'
Where?'
Chicago.'
An uncertain look ?ame into the sandy
haired man's eyes.
'Let me see,' he mused retrospectively ;
'pears to me I must have passed through
there. I've traveled a good deal. I know
I've heard ihe name before. What line or
road is it on ?'
'Forty lines of road. It's ths biggest rail
road centre on earth.'
'Not bigger than Cresline, Ohio, is it?"
asked the passenger with an amazed expres
sion. -I've seen four trains at once at Crest
line waitin' to start off. Talk about noise
and confusion !
The Chicago man's teeth began to chat
ter. 1 Chicago a place where the train stops
for dinner ?"
'Naw, said the disgusted drummer.
'Chicago is not a place where the passengers
stop for dinner.'
Of course, that's what I meant,' explained
the red-haired man gently. 'Fact is.' be
went on with confidential frankness, 'I've
traveled so much and been in so many dif
ferent places In my lifetime thtt I don't
portend to remember more'n a quarter of
'em. What's tne name of the hotel in Chica
go?' 'There ain't any, said the drummer,
gloomily.
Then he walked forward to the filter, filled
his mouth foil of water, gargled his throat,
whooshed the liquid on the floor, and hung
his leg over the corcer of the box.
'Who is that evil-eyed, p;nk-haired, lumpy-legged,
prairie-eared microbe at the other
end of the car?' be asked of tbe conductor,
who was passing through tbe train.

Statesmen is Bad Hats. Most of the
Washington "statesmen" wear very bad
hats. Randall's is particularly bad, and
that of Gen.- Logan particularly offensive.
The former rambles through the corridors in
an ancient "plug" that looks as if it had
been battered all the way from Philadelphia
aod the latter In a cavalry "slouch" which
seems to give pretty good evidence of hav
ing been used at a target excursion. Brew
ster, attorney general, Is the most particular
man in town about his hats. He bas them
mado to order In Philadelphia, and uses
about half a dozen during the season. They
are built very high with a bu'ging crown and
a broad brim, and possess tbe advantage of
being equally attratiyo, no matter which
way brushed.
Blaine generally strolls along in a Slouch
hat, pulled well over his eyes; Chandler al
ways in a derby, while the sprightly lugalls,
of Kansas, carries an opera hat, which he
can flop up and down tosuit his convenience.
President Arthur's hats are models. They
are tail silk head coverings, nearly straight,
witb broad brim and a slight cuive near the
crown. Mr. Aithur has them made In New
York. William Walter Phelps, notwith
standing the elegant cut of his clothes, does
not pay much attention to his hats. Some
of them could be appropriately worn by th")
end man at negro-miustrel shows. -Veto

DLAl AMI DL'MR.
It was mid summer on the mountains,
and Lilian Ferguson had never seen a fairer
scene than the oiiiows of the blue hills that
lay stretched out below her, with here and
there the flah of halt hidrieu lake or the rib
bon like glitter of a tiny river.
She stood leaping against the rustic ce
dar tbat formed the support ot th b..ti
, piazza, while the modest iiuie trunk aod
traveling baas were piled up at the reir.
"Don't fret, Miss" said the land lady, who
, was bu.ttling in and out. "The stage will be
' along soon,"
j "Ob, I am in no hurry for the stage," said
Lilian, pleasantly. I could stand and look
. at this beautiful landscape all day."
; "Ain't that strange, uow?' reflectively ut
I tered Mrs. Pecs, the landlady. "Me and
, Teck, we never think about It at all."
j "Is the sta-e often so late?" said Lillian
! ian, glancing at her neat little silver watch.
"Not generally, " said Mrs- Teck. "But
i to-day they're waiting at Well's Station for
i the deaf ami duruh gentleman. "
"For whom?" said Lilian, in amazement.
"For the deaf and dumb gentleman. Miss,"
j explained Mrs. Peck. "A cousin of our min
! ister's up at Crest Hill. He's been down to
New York for treatment: but, aeary me,
: there ain't no treatment can do him anj' good,
i As deaf as a stone, Miss, and never spoke an
. intelligible wind since he was born. But
! they do say he's a very learned man, in
! spite of all his drawbacks."
'1 iu afraid he won't he a very lively trav
eling companion,' said Lilian, smiling,
'No, I calculate not, said Mrs. Peck in a
matter of-faet sort of way.
Just at that moment a box-wagon drove
up, the charioteer handed out a valise and
assisted a youug lady to alight.
'Has the stage gone ?' she cried, flinging
aside her veil and revealing a very pretty
brunette face shaded by jetty fringes of hair j
and flushed with excitement.
'You are just in time, Miss,' said Mrs. '
Peck, peering down the winding road, which 1
her experienced eye could trace when no
one else's was of any avail. 'It's a-comin' j
now !' j
But Lilian Ferguson, who had been gazing
at the newcomer earnestly, now came for
ward with an eager smile and an outstretch
ed hand.
'Surely I am not mistaken,' said she, 'and
this is Eulalie Morton ?"
'Lilian Ferguson ! Oh, you darling, I am
so glad to see you !' cried the stranger.
'But where on earth did you come from?
And thus met the two lovely girls who had
graduated just a year ago from Madame De
Tournaire's fashionable boarding school in
New York and who dad not seen each other
since.
Just at this moment, however, there was
no limp for s-v n lanat inna TfiA nnnilMrniia
stage, relic of a forgotten generation, rolled j
up, with creak of leathern. curtains, tramp
of h.ilses and a general confusion of airival,
to the broad wooden steps of the hotel.
Tbe sun was already down. Iu the twi
light, Eulalie and Lilian could only discover
that the stage contained but oue other occu
pant, a man who leaned back in tbe far cor
ner, with the top of bis face partially hidden
by a large, wide-brimmed hat, and its lower
part wrapped in the folds of a Persian silk
pocket handkerchief.
He inclined bis head courteously as they
entered, aod moved a baudsouae traveling
case which lay on the middle seat, as if to
make room for them.
'Is there another pajsenger?' said Miss
Morton, witb a little, precious start.
'It's ony a deaf and dumb gentleman,'
Lilian explained, her eyes full of soft pity.
'The landlady told me all about him.
What a nuisance 1' cried Eulalie. 'I had
hoped we should have tne stage to ourselves.
But now, dear,' as she settled herself in the
most comfortable corner, 'tell me what this
unexpected encounter means.'
'It means,' said Lilian, with a shy smile,
'that I am going to be nursery governess at
Chessington Hall, up among the Adiron
dacks that is, if I give satisfaction. 1 was
engaged by letter from the Educational Bu
reau a week ago.'
'What a very singular coincidence !' said
Miss Morton, shaking her cherry colored
bonnet strings. 'And 1 am going to be com
panion to old Mrs. Grove, of Grove Rookery,
the yery next place to Chessington Hall.
How I do envy you, Lilian I'
Envy me, Eulalie?'
'Yes. Haven't you heard about it?' said
tbe brunette. 'The Chessington children,
your future charges, are motherless, don't
you know ? They are uuder tbe care of an
aunt, so Mrs. Grove told me ; and there is a
handsome widower and interesting young
bachelor at Chessington Hall.'
Lilian colored, hotly
Neither of whom 1 ever expect to meet,"
saiJ s..e.
'It will be your own fault if you dou't,'
obsetwd Miss Morton. 'Why, my dear,
here is your career ail chalked out for you.
Sentimental widower, with lots of money

presto, your fortune is made !'
'Eulalie, how can you talk so?' cried j
Lilian, flushed and indignant- 'I am not on I
a husband-hunting expedition ; 1 am simply
trying to earn my own living.
'The more goose you, to neglect such an
opportunity as this.' said Eulalie, laughing.
Tf you don't try for the widower I shall.
Grove Rookery Is only half a mile from
Chessington Hat), after all ; and a rich bus
band wonld solve the problem of my life at
once.'
This is too ridiculous, Eulalie,' said Lil
ian. 'I could not respect myself if 1 weie to
plot and plan like this. I know it is unjust,
but you have made me dislike Mr. Chessing.

j 'The more the better,' Siid Miss Morton,
j 'Tht re will be all the better chance for me.
They say he Is very handsome, and one
j cou'd easily send the two children' away to

; no old maids, aunts and Inteiferlng unoUa
j about the premises."
'Eulalie, let us talk of something else,'
. said Lilian, resolutely. 'Tell roe all that
j has happened to you since graduation day.
j Hnla'ie laughed out a merry, ringing
! laugh.
J 'Well, if you roust know she said, Tts
, been trying my best to get a nice husband.
but without any success."
'Is matrimony, then, the end and aim ot
all the world?' said Lilian, with queenly
disdain.
As far as I am concernel yes,' acknowl
1 edged Miss Morton, with charming fiank
nevs. i 'Pat-Jon me, Eulalie,' said Lilian, 'but tt
, seems to me that you have degenerated
; frightfully since tho?e dear old days of Ml
i dame de Tournaire's.
j Miss Morton yawned.
How tedious all this is !' a?.id she. 'Miss,
i Ferguson turned lecturer, eh? How I wish
j that poor fellow in the corner wasn't deaf
and dumb! I'd flirt with him, just to aggta
' vate you, fuiiy !'
Lilian made no answer. She leaned her
hran out of the stage window, and watched
tne purple dusk creep rip the mountain.
siJes. counting the stars as one by one they
shone out. Anj thing was Uettt i than Eula
lie's shallow clatter.
Grove Rookery was twioo reached, and1
Miss Motion bade her old school-mate au ef
fusive farewell.
M see that the old lady has sent the car
nage to meet me," said she. 'Good-bye,
Lily I You must be sure to introduce me to
the charming widower when I cone over,
ail rrt ot'r, darling atr reroir ."
The dear and dumb gentleman left tLe
stage vtry soon. Mhs Ferguson watched
with some interest, but no carriage or any
description seemed to be waiting for him.
He disappeared into the woods like a
shadow, and vanished from her sight.
I suppose, roor fellow, that he lives near
here," thought she. 'How dreadful it most
he thus to be cut off from all companionship
with one's fellow being '.'
But even while thee rfl?ctions passed
through her mind, the stage stopped again
before a ghtte ring facade of lights half veil
ed in summer foliage Chessington Hall!
'Here you are, Miss," said the man who
wa driving.
Turouph the summer evening dusk, Lilian
could see the marble-railed terrace and the
broad carriage drive, while two childish fig
ures danced up and down, and uttered joy
foi exclamations of welcome little Blanche
and Alice Chessington I
Are you the new governess? said tbey .
'Are you Miss Ferguson ? Welcome wel
come to the Adiroudecks ! We are so glad
that you have come 1"
And in an instant their arms were twined,
around Lilian's neck.
At the end of a month Lilian Fergnson
felt completely and thoroughly at home with
her new pupils.
They had ranged the woods, and visited
ail the grottoes and cascades; they had sur
rounded her witb an atmosphere of tbe
sweetest affection.
Mrs. liaitieigh, their aunt, was equally
kind; and Alfred Hartlelgh, the interesting
young uncle, had already taken htr into his
confidence as to the beautiful biide he wa&
going to bring home soon.
But it certainly was very strange that she
had nevei seen Adrian Chessington himself,
the father of her lovely little pupils.
Until one pleasant morning, when, just as
she had come out to receive Miss Eulalie
Morton, who had driven over in the Grove
Rookery carriago to call, a tall, handsome
gentleman entered the room, with Mrs.
llarlleiRn on bis rra
"The deaf and dumb gentleman !" Lilian
involuntarily exclaimed.
Poor fellow, so it is " said Miss Morton,
wbo advanced airily, shaking out the light
muslin flounces of her dress. 'How e does
haunt us, to be sure !'
'Ladies,' said tbo deaf and-dumb gentle
man, 'you are mistaken. 1 can hear and
speak to day as well as anybody. I should
have spoken to you a month ago in the
