Minnie's Mistake, Malcolm Tliorno sat In tho' cars: bound for Malvrrn, a'borli(l In a dee.p' reverie, a,nu a pleasant one It was,,, too. lie was ft lover,, cjimngi'd aNo, and he was soon to. lead lib bride to the .altar. Ho was .now journeying toward tho lionio of her who had filled, and would Oil, ho hoped, In the happy years to cfitne, many of Ills hours with "oilk.cn splendo-." Ij It, then, to bo wondered Hint J1I9 thoughts, his 'day dreams were profoundly delightful? "Malvernl"' cried out tlie conductor. Tho conductor's nnnbunc'iment 6tarT tied hlmi from his reverie. "Ilcionlready," murmured Malcolm. ''Why, the time has passed very.qulck ly." , ' Ho removed his satchel, cane, and umbrella from tho rack; vacated his .seat, and when the train stopped step ped oil on to the platform. A largo crowd w us assembled at tli36tatIou a wait ing tho arrival of tho train, for-Mnlvcrn was .qultc'a flourishing town, and he was inalilng hla way through the con. course ot people as rapidly as ho could, when npalr'of arms 'were clasped a-' round his neck, and a soft voico whis pered: "O, Georgel im B0 glad you've come;" and then almost as suddenly added, "Oil, 1 beg; pardon, sir, I've made a great inMake, but tho icsem blanco Is wonderful." Beforo the astonished Malcolm Thorno co.uld make a reply, tho young female with tho fair, lovely face suf- fused with blushes, had dleappearcd In the crowd, and was quickly beyond his sight, "By Jovel" he thought, "that young woman must have taken me for her lev er, whom, I suppose, sho expected would come with this train. Why, bit 84 me, It's tho funniest ndventuro with which I'vo ever tLet." The whole af fair struck lilm 113 being entirely ludi crous, and hu stood still for a moment 1 and gave vent to ft hearty laugh. , Ho moved on again, got clear of tho crowd, and then gazed a'ong the plat-, form, where a row of varlotu sizes nr.d styles of vehicles were walling J.o convoy tho arrivals to dllferent points In the . town. "Minnie promised to meet n)o hero wllu llio carrltge, but I soo neither her nor It. Probably somethinc haj delav eU her j at any late, I'll sit dowu. and wait a few ininutes longer."; Ten minutes passed away.ibut neith er his lady-Iovo nor the vehicle appear ed, 1 "Sho must bo ill," lie murmured, glancing at his watch; "but It'fstrange she did not order the carriage to ,ci)irie fur me, even It she couldti't coui'o . her self. S" ' He called a cabman to him. "Do you know where Jlfr. Itangton resides?" ho asked. Thu man replied In the aQlr. inntlve, and Mnleoliu ordered him to .drive thero as quickly as ho could., The vehicle stopped lu ftont of a stately, handsome residence, aud M.il colm, Throne sprang out of tho convey ance, walked lapldly up (Ije graveled walk to the door nud rang the bell', which was almost Immediately answer ed by n servant. "Is Miss Itangton Indisposed, or Is thero any sickuess In the famlly?"eried Malcolm. "All ure qulto wcfl, sir,"' replied .the domestic, "and Miss ltangtou cannot, sco you and bade mo give you, this note." She thrust It In his haud, and shut the door, as tho saying ii, In his face. Malcolm, bewildered and nstouUhed, stocd titer, making no mpvem'cnts.buf having the oppearanco of a person who is not really awaro whether ho Is In hla right senses or not. "Cannot seo j?e?" he at last ndrait-" ted. "What havo I done to offend her? What Is the meaning of this strange ac tion of hers?'1. He seemed to have for. gotten the dainty, pink-tinted missive, which tho servant had given him, but suddenly recollecting It, ho tore open tho envelope, and read theso sarcastic lines: Mn. TnonNB Deau Sin: Ml was pot aware, until qulto recently, that your heart was largo enoug'h.lo enter tain an affection for two women tit the same time. Such being the case, I must decline the tharo of lovo you havo been wont to lavish upon mc,, as, In affairs of the heart, I am very selfish, nud not for a moment could I think, of looking to a rival.

"You may remain, for I'll want you to take me back to, tlie station, and I'll pay you .for your time," replied Mal7 colm. - "All right, sir," said tho man, going back to hU vehicle, but-wondering at tho picullar manner In wh'ich' the gen tleman wa3 acting.

"Well," said Mrs. Raugton, "you'd better pay nnd dlsmUs tllo bookman, and then go lu nnd, forgive Mlnnlo for acting so foolishly."
