Thus Runs the World Away.
Like snowy lilies fleet as fine
Whose fragrant course is run,
Like dewdrops on the eglantine,
Like frost-work in the sun;
So vanish youth’s delightful dreams,
80 beauty’s charms decay;
Like Dlossoms strewn on
streams;
Thus runs the world away,
sparkling
Like foam upon the billows bright,
Like sunset’s gorgeous dyes,
Like moonbeams shedding silver light,
Over the jewelled skies;
So swiftly from our vision glide
Hopes, plans and projects gay.
Alone we roam at eveutide;
Thus runs the world away.
Of friends whom ruthless time destroys,
We're, day by day, bereft;
The spectres ot our perished joys,
Are all the comrades left.
Love's chain 18 broken link by link.
We sing the mournful lay,
Forlorn upon life's river brink!
Thus runs the world away.
It was to be served out on the veran-
da, a sort of open air annex to the
sitting-room, which was located in the
second story. The place was perfect,
with 1ts lace-worked drapery of vines—
purple wisteria, roses and clematis—
and there was a festive awning of
Roman stripe unfurled to the south,
subduing the sunshine toa hazy mel-
lowness,
**This is just the place to do the ideal
in,” said Amy Layng, who reveled in
the splendor of her friend’s newly-
acquired fortune, In the midst of
such enchanting circumstances you
sever ought to lose your temper,
Helene,”
Miss Martineau was swinging herself
lazily in a pretty hammock, with a look
on her face that expressed the most
profound indifference, Could it be that
she was already bored by the excessive
elegance of her position?
**If people would only let me alone,”’
she said, with a shrug, *‘I could be-
have like an angel. You never annoy
me, Amy, but,” she added, with a
comical sigh, “*1 feel as though it would
take me a lifetime to recover from those
tete-a-tetes with the dear Count, as
Mrs, Stuyvesant calls him,”
“Well, I don’t wonder at that,” said
Amy, laughing. ‘‘He’s not coming to
brief stare which gave no response to
the amused twinkle in his,
“It 18 just as I feared,” thought
Oscar, with a sinking heart. “They
have spoiled her among them,”
Helene caught a furtive glance at his
face, and thought how well it had ful-
filled its early promise. He was making
proper speeches to her now, She
listened with a conventionalized smile,
and then said sweetly:
“You must take a cup of tea with
me. Sit here, if you please, You will
find this a cozy corner, and I think you
will like my tea.”
**I have no doubt of it,” Oscar re-
plied. ‘‘As /schylus says—’
“Mr, Dwight,” she cried, flippantly,
**don’t begin by quoting Greek at me!
What had /Eschylus to say about tea?’
“Nothing. It was about women,”
“Oh! said Helene, laughing. *“*Like
other men, 1 presume he fancied he
knew a great deal about them.”
“1 don’t think he ever fancied that,”’
sald O:zcar, taking his cup of tea. He
was not such an infatuated fool.”
“Your tone 18 not complimentary,
Mr, Dwight. I fear you are a sad
cynic. You ought not to fill your head
with such heresy. It is not good for
you, pas du tout!”
“Pardon?”
“Why, you understand French—
perfectly, 1 remember.”
“Oh, yes. But my mind never han-
kered after a sandwich of tongues, I
always feel as though I had a slap in
the face when I am getting on smoothly
in one language and some one hurls at
me the fragment of another. 1 will
speak French with you, if you prefer
it,”” he added, more gently.
Helene flushed, How like him that
blunt speech was!
“Oh, nol!” she hastened
“What will you have? Try these com-
fits, You will like them, I am sure.
They taste just llke—--""
A luscious jacqueminot rose fell from
her corsage. He picked it up and
gravely returned it to her without a
thought of appropriating it.

**This is (like the guava preserve I

you know most of the people here, Mr,
Dwight?”
“Too well,” he answered, briefly.
‘‘Barbarian!’’ she cried, ‘*That is
the tea, I suppose?”’
“He is not asked,” Helene replied, |
with a languid motion of a delicate |
feather fan which she held,
“Poor fellow! I will tell Oscar he |
must do his best to replace him.”
A dash of unaccountable color ap- |
peared in Helene’s face, but the parro-
keet feathers screened it.
**Is Oscar coming?” she asked, lan- |
guidly.
**I believe so. It is a tremendous
concession to you, my dear. He hates |
society, you know, and I don’t think |
he took very kindly to your engage- |
ment to Count Wierlawsky,” |
“Don’t he know it is all broken off?”
said Helene hurriedly,
“Yes,” said Amy, “but Oscar is an |
eccentric, you know, though he is one |
of the dearest fellows in the world. |
He was very fond of you, Helene, and |
I think he is rather afraid to meet you
: for fear he will find you changed.”
**What makes you think that?”
i “*He asked me whether you were just
the same as you were when you used to

though I told him the contrary. He

“What?” said Helene, imperiousiy,
a5 Amy paused and went on sorting
her embroidery silks in silence.
“He says,” she continued, with a |
furtive glance at her friend, *‘that if |
you had never gotten rich, he would |
have been quite sure of you; but that |
now he could hardly say how you will |
turn oat,”? {
“Indeed!” cried Helene, with a little
railing lauzh, giving her fan such a
savage flirt that the ivory handle snap-
ped in twain; *‘I am indebted to Mr.
Dwight for his opinion. When a man
takes up preconceived ideas about me,
I never think it worth while to combat
them.”
She got out of the hammock slowly,
and trailed her blue cashmere morning
gown over the veranda.
**I am going to order bisque and car-
atnel ice,” she said, suddenly. *‘It is
the proper thing to have it served in
coffee cups, Amy. Shall I bring out
my Beluk service?” :
Amy adored planning, and the ar- |
rangements for Miss Martineau’s tea |
proved very absorbing. When Saturday
came the veranda looked like an en-
chanted garden. The floor was patched
with Oriental rugs, and plants were
blooming In every corner, while luxu.
rious chairs and divans were scattered
about alongside of oddly-shaped tables
with embroidered cloths and |
laden with dainty china.
As Oscar Dwight stepped through
the curtained window on to the veranda
in the wake of a butler who conveyed
us card to Helene, he realized that he
must be very late, for his fine head and
gray eyes overtopped a crowd of gossip-
ing tea-drinkers, already assembled.
Helene was sitting at the far end of
the veranda. He singled her out at
once, for she was taller than most
women, and her small head had a proud
aise which he could not fail to recog.
ize, She was at her best that afternoon
in a rich gown of crimson plush that
was set off with ivory satin and trim-
mings of duchess lace,
“How beautiful she has grown,”
Oscar murmured, with a sharp pang;
“and yet, if she had not come into her
fortune she would probably have mar-
ried that rascally B LY
This t was in his

held out to him a hand of faaltless

smile—**or ought I to say Mr.

Oscar had a flerce desire to give him
a kick and send him all the way over.
He was bowing so profoundly that it
would have taken very little to do it.
“If Mr. Dwight will excuse mae,”

He left her with a listless handshake, |

generally stayed late, and it was deep |
in the twillght before the last farewell |
was spoken.
There is nothing more forlorn than a
festive scene after the guests have de-
parted. Helene looked around the
veranda with a wretched feeling of
loneliness, and suddenly, with an ir-
repressible sob, she flung herself down
on the couch where Oscar had sat be-
side her.
“Oh, my lovel” she cried, with a
burst of bitter tears. “You do not
care for me at all.”
The moon had risen high and full,
Through the screen of tangled vines the
silvery light fell upon her prostrate |
form, which was shaken with a storm
of grief,
“Helene!”
She sprang up as though some one |
had struck her when she heard Oscar |
Dwight pronounce her name.
“What are you doing here?’’ she
cried, passionately, enraged that he
should have seen her tears,
“Pardon me!” he faltered, *‘I--i

**1 will call a servant to get a light,’’
‘“Helene,” he said, taking a step to-
word her,
“Well?”
“Have you qgaite forgotten the old
days that you treat me so coldly?” he
asked, in a gentle voice.
“It 18s you who have chosen to ignore
the past,”’ she replied, locking her
hands so that he might not see how
they trembled.
“You left me no other alternative.
Helene, speak to me! My heart tolls
me you have not grown so cold and
indifferent as you seem. There was a
time when you prized the love I gave
you. Is it utterly valueless now.?”’
“You do not care for me so much as
you used to,” she said, with averted
face,
“I love you, Helene. It is yours to
say whether it shall be more or less.”

with me. How was I to know that

“1 told you once.”
“Yes; but that was long, long ago.”
“Had you ceased to love me?”
“No; but—w?’
“Why should your love be stronger
tha®mine?”
“I don’t know,” she sighed; *‘only I
did not think you cared.”
He bent over and kissed her.
“Never doubt me agaln, dear,” he
said. *‘Think how nearly I lost youl
If I had not coms back and found you
here weeping, I should have gone away
and never seen you again.”
Helene bowed her head with due
penitence, As she did so a bright flash
of light from the floor made her cry:
**Oh, Oscar! There is your diamond!”
She stooped and picked up the jewel
from the floor. It was a superb white
stone, which was seen to sparkle after-
ward on the third finger of her left
hand, for Oscar had it set as an engage-
ment ring.
Maine's First Locomotive.
An Auburn veteran, who saw Maine's
first locomotive and her first: train of
cars as they moved for the first time
over a Maine rallroad track, tells of
that great event in the history of the
Pine Tree State as he lingered at the
tea table nonchalently sipping his third
cup of tea one evening recently,
“The first railroad ever built in
Malne,”’ said oar friend, “‘was between
Bangor and Oldtown. T'was about
the time of the Aroostook war, in 1839,
when the first train of cars that ever
sped over this State started early one
morning from Bangor to Oldtown, a
run of about twelve miles. It was a
red letter day for Bangor and not far
short of your modern Fourth of July
celebration.
“I shall never forget with what pride

A writer on fashions in a London
contemporary says: ‘‘Standing the
other evening behind a gorgeously-
dressed woman, I was almost startled
out of well-bred indifference by the
sight of an insect clinging to the boun-
dary line of her low-necked biiice, Its
head was bent betwean its fore-feet, its
dart seemcd buried in the pearly white
of her rounded shoulder. Of course, it
hardly needed a second glance to assure
me that the creature was not real; the
body was in Labrador stone, yellow
siriped with brown, the head a deep-
ened sapphire, the legs golden, and the
whole made up a very capital imitation
of a hornet-the cloge proximity of which
to human flesh suggested horrible pro-
babilities, The taste for insects and
animals is all very well, so long as it 1s

QUININE CHEAPER THAN EVER,
What Causes This---Profits made by
Retailers,
It may be some consolation to suffer -
ers from malaria to know that there is
little if any impure quinine in the mar-
ket at present. This desirable state of
things is not due to any sudden spasm
of virtue on the part of druggists, but
arises from causes that are purely
economical, Quinine is lower In price
now than it has ever been; it is selling
wholesale at 55 cents an ounce, and is
s0 much cheaper proportionately than
its usual adulterants that a loss rather
than a profit would result from mixing
these with it.
“People are almost certain to get
quinine pure this season, no matter
where they buy it,” said the proprietor
of one of the large drug stores near the
Post-Office. ‘The most unscrupulous
druggist has no incentive to adulterate
it now as he did when he used to pay
$3 and §4 an ounce for it. Then
it paid to mix it with cinchonla, which
sold for $1 or so an ounce. Yes, that

it has the properties, though not the

fault found with a compound of this
kind was that it lacked power. Noth-

nor, in fact, do I know of any sub-
stance that would probably be mixed
with quinine, which might harm the

of fraud practised with this drug is the
short-weight dodge. This is worked

or brown, or green and while, were

plain, yet artistic, these suits commend
themselves at once as really stylish
