And only Alfred soemeJ to.see the pale

hands still grasped the reins, though her
slender wricts were powerless to conlrol

fieient.v to i; put in h. r earrings, fho
b-'ggod" Alfr.- l to take the place beside
her. for sh- did not dare to handle the
reins again that day.
II r. Alton could not find words to ex-pre-s
his grali'u de. II-i Insisted on
hearing Alft ds whole story, and then
it w - wonder u! how many things he
could find for the young man to do.
Finally Alfred" found t,i;.iolf in
stalled an Jlr. Alton'- secretary. The
old gentleman fronted him as a son. de
clared he could tiet get along w thout
him, and wondered how his lite had ever
gone smoothly in tho days before his
arrival.
At first all this se rr.ed divine, and then
Was Alfred un-rateful?
No, Indeed ; he was not th.it. Tut
much agair.Pt !.! will, it was nt Inst
borne in upon Y is mind that, until now,
he had not really known the jtrue mean
ing of misery.
r H3 loved Ueraldlne Alton, and she was
betrotl ed to another man !
Ii -trot .ed! EtiL did she love that
other?
With a wl'd!y-l. eating and tiiumphant
heait. Alfred asked himself '. h t (jiie--tion
; : r bi her eyes he had sometimes
dared to read Something that seemed to
Pry hi" passion was understood and not
resented.
Uii: what of It? Was it not worse,
ten times worse, to know it might have
been and yet could liever be? She was
promised, by her own con-ent, to an
other; and how could he even
dare to look the love he might not
speak?
"Oh, for the days when I carried a
hod on my shoulder, and sh-pt at night
so soundly that a cannon at my ear would
scarce have waked me ' Ihis very day
I will tell Mr. Alton of my presumption
and of my misery, llo will forgive me,
and lot me go. '
Alfred was already on his way to an
interview vith Mr. Alton, when tho
sound of his own name, uttered in a
voice he knew and hated, fell on his
ears. It came from the sitting-room,
the door of which . he was passing,
and at the next words he stood still,
as if his f.-et had been glued to the
l.oor.
"Yes, X own it, I do love him I"
said i.-r a Mine's voice. "And I have
eeen in hia eyes that he loves me not
tho fortune I might bring hliu, as you
do Murray, but myself, and for myself
alono "
' Oh indeed, how disin crested ! But
I doubt it, dear," sneered Muiray.
" However, suppose, you try him, Geral
dine. Give me the fortune and bestow
your own fair self on this hod-carrying
secretary. Never was such a chance for
love in a cottage or shall we say in a
cellar?"
" Take him at his word. Miss Alton !"
cried Alfred. Come to ine penniless, as
you stand, in that plain white gown, anil I
will work for you n& man never worked
before, for I love you as man never
loved before !"
The words were spoken and Alfred
was standing by her side before he had
taken tim "to think; and she hid her
face on his shoulder, blushing and
murin t ing :
' Alfred, Alfred ! I did not mean that
you should hear me. But since you
love me, I don't care, for I mean every
word 1 said."
" Ha, h.i !" answered Murray. "Has
this little sc. no been rehearsed often?
You do it qui e too

i;.:t let mo remind

' Xot so fast,
spoke Mr. Alton.

litering ipnetly from
" ou cannot give
orders in my house Murray. I have,
been a listener to your conversation
with (iiT.ihrne; I have f a rod thai you

And witi out. another word Murray
found himself escorted to the street-door
and politely place i on the outside of it.
Mr. Alton d d not return to his daugh
ter and his seer tary, and as he lound
his way to his own apartments, he said
with a lau-h :
" I won't disturb theni just now, and

There is a curious br .kerago business

JOHN SLVS COMMISSION.
lie ns Some rprrlene A a Tetortrre.
John Sly lives in a romantic
village in the State of Ohio. There
is also a great deal of romance
aliout John. That is, he lias lately
had a great ileal of romance knocked
out of him.
John was a hostler at the village
hotel barn, but while he did his work
in a satisfiiotory manner, he was by
no means satisfied. He compared him
self to an eagle chained by the leg
to a hen coop. lie longed to break
his bonds and sour,
lie was undecided whether to join a
circus or hire out on a steam
boat when fortune decided hia
fate.
He received a circular from " The
( Ireat 1 nti l national 1 k-tecti vo Agency "
of Cincinnati, explaining that the
secretary of that organisation had
heard of his natural detective talents,
and was lsirous of giving him au
appointment. The said appoint mc-nt
carried a commission with it, aud
ihis commission would be sent on
as soon as John Sly had forwarded the
sum of S5.
Any one who imagines that the
hostler was over thirty minutes mailing
his money for that commission is
prreatlv mistaken.
In tliirtr minutes more he had
qnit
his job, and his friends conld
see
that a great change had come
over
him. He hail a knowing look,
suddenly became reserved,
bctran to glide about like
He
Ho
a
cat.
In due time the commission ar
rived, and a letter with it, warning
John to be on the watch for coun
terfeiters, horse thieves, bank bur
glars nnd other wicked folks.
They had struck the right man.
Inside of an hour he had a pair of
handcuffs and a revolver strapped
to him and was out on the
watch.
Suspicion soon liegan to thrill his
' soul. lb Mayor of the town had
a w icked. o piaved look; st vend mer
chants seemed to be startled when
suddenly ad dressed; the idage black
smith was-seen hanging around the
bank as if making an examination of
the windows.
Tor two t-r three Jays and nights
John Sly nursed his suspicions and
kept his eyes oj't-n. Then it slrm-k
him that a real d fectivo ought to

The days film- and go, and the
nights show up with great regularity,

tones:

" Never touch a flower with your
nose when you inhale its perfume,
said a gentlewoman the other day
in my hearing to Lcr lit llo
daughter.
This lesson in .the proprieties is one
which all mothers might well impress
upon their children.
Among the ruling classics of China,
I am told, it is considered a gross
breach of etiquette to bury the uo.se
in the buds and blossoms of a
bouquet. Surely, from an restLetie
point of view, such practice is to
be reprobated.
Who has not smiled at tho ap
pearance of those ardent lovers of tho
" stars of earth " who. for example,
thrust their nasal organs deep down
amid the perfume-laden lillies, and
after many long-drawn inhalations
raise their face all golden with the
pollen of the desecrated bloom?
To treat in this way flowers that
are intended for another seems ulmost
a sacrilege.
To say nothing of the injury done
to the petals by such an invasion,
there is sometbiug distasteful to
sensitive persons in having their
bouquets brought into such close
contact with tho " hunmu face,"
no matter how " divine " it
may lie.
Tho enjoyment of tho pr-rfume of
flowers is keener and more refined
when the fragrance is inhaled with
out touching the blossom. Louisville

Salvation Army Clothe.
A certain very stylish young lady,
who drives a good deal, got into a
horse car in the exclusive suburb
where she lives the other day wearing
her new coachman jacket of rather
pay red cloth, trimmed effectively with
brass buttons.
She was going to make ft morning
call on a friend only a few streets
away, and as she wished to show the
yoniig lady her new accoutrements she
wore her gay jacket anil a rather strik
ing hat which goes with it.
Scarcely had she seated herself in the
car when an eager-voiced old woman
sitting near her said sociably:
" Y on lelong to the Salvation Army,
don't vou?''
The swell
voting lady was a litil
startled, but
she said, "Xaow" cold!.
and turned
a little awav from In r
nei;-hbor.
" But you must,'
old ladv. "Them's

Fortunately by this time the car was
at her friend's corner, and stopping it
the jx-rsecnted wearer of Spring fash
ions hurried out nn.l into the house
and iuto her friend's arms, w here, after
a "gfK.d cry," she rose to a stiise of
the essentially funny naturo of the
