"Nellie, do you mean what you any? do you not think your pride a tritlo over btranicd and far-fetched'.'" "I think Mr. Temple forgets himself," eh" answered, icily. !" have not tho right to question my actions" an 1 she turned and swept majestically from the roo'ii.

Catch me trusUn another one of the hearth as sex !" It was a fearful blow to him. He tried to make himself believe that he did not care, but the 1 eautiful face of Nellie ha intcd him incessantly, an I he oitt-n found himself wondering what he would do with his empty life. Three days later he surprised his friends greatly by leaving the town, bag and baggage. lor parts unknown. Nellie Graverson heard of Louis de parture with a calm, indifferent face, but when she was in the sanctum of her own chamber, the mask fell. Great heart rending sol s shook the regal form. !ho had sent him o'.l with a coldness that even surprised herself;, but was sho happy? would Louis' white reproachful face ever be erased from her memory? Ve-ks and months flew by, and during that time Nellie Graverson changed wonderfully. The proud, haughty ex pression on her beautiful face was giving place to a sad pre-occupied one. The servants who always feared her before, were beginning to fove th-ir youn mis tress: she was to kind to them. M have broken my heart and spoiled my life," she would often say to herself, "and now 1 shall break my pride. Oh, i.ouis, I.ouis.! if I only had" it to do over again." "My dear," her father said to her o.io day, "my dear, I imagine you look palo and thin. Are you not feeling well '.'' "Yes, pnpa, I atn as well as usual," her heart beating quickly. "No, pet, you are not. J Bhall call in a doctor. "Gh, no, no, papa ! I am not ill, indeed I am not : but but " "Rut what, dear'." ''Cannot we go away for awhile 7 I am I would like, a t hange."

"No? ho is here somewhere, oh, there she is, to the right, on ius Burns' arm. How happy sh? looks'. I'o you not th.uk the ui a happy couple?' sweetly. Nellie's fao was indeed illumed to night, but the happy liiriit in the deep 11 uo eyes and the delicate Mush on tho cheeks were not brought there by Gus Rums. She tried to appear interested with the anee.ioi-.' ner companion was relating, but all the time she kept saying to her self : Will he never come? Oh, how I long to see him ! If he only gives me a chance to show him. how I have t hanged." "Happy couple!" exclaimed Louis, making a bad attempt to app.-ar uncon cerned. "Are are ihey engaged V" Then looking at him reproachfully: "Can you ask ?

At last she was startled by a well-known voice exclaiming: ""Gus, I suppose you will except a friend's congratulations!" "( "ongratulations?" bewild-Tingly. "Yes, Gus. upon your approaciiing marriage with Nellie Graverson." "Marriage Nellie Graver.-on ! Upon my work Toui, you take one's breath aw ay. I am not going to lie married." Then going straight up to his friend and looking him in the eyes: The-the fact is, old Itoy, I thought you all solid there. What ever came be tween you two? I thought if ever a fellow idoiizfl a girl, you aid her." "Yes, Gus, I di 1 love that girl, and (I am ashamt-d to confess it; 1 love her still.

An up-town housekeeper was nego tiating with a c'Mjk-lady the other day. "And hive you natural gas "in?"' was o:e question in examination to which the alleged mistress had to submit.
