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. Let all, henceforth, that
has passed between us be forgotten. I
" '
leave yon frco to bestow tho whole
wealth of your.elaslls affection .upon
whonleoeverlyou chonso to honor In
i.that way. 'Shoulti 'we cha'tico td ' meet
let It be as strangers, j for my. vocabulary
Contains no word by which l' 'can fully

"Good hcilvens.1 Wliatt .tliii. mean

It Is strange how quickly, when sus

At this juncture tho cabman ap
proached Malcolm, wjio. ws excitedly
pacing up and down tho verandah
which surrounded the house, and said:'
"I'd. Ilko to liavo my "fare, .sir,' for I
must be off. I can't wait hero All day
unless you pay mo for waiting."
"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.
"I will see'herl" cried Malcolm, "and
wring tlie truth from her, The mean.'
I . .... . . ...(....!.

Ho rang the bell, and again the ser
vant made her appearance. '
"Tell''Mlss,Uangton that! musthav.0
a few minutes' conversation with her."
Tho servant departed to deliver tho
message, and quickly camo' back with
an answer t .
"Miss liangton desires mo to Imform
you'that IK is impo'sib'o for her to grant
ycUr request, and wishes you to cease
annoying' her with euch sojlcfta'tlons.ttnd

"But sho shall speak with me,' cried
tho now- Infuriated Malcolm. '
''I una lnstmripil tint t, mlmlf ran."
T ' f- - j--.,,
and with (liat.she.shut the. dqor, lu his
facej and locked It nlso 1 .
'She Is afraid I'll force my way Into

I may learn to forget her,"
IJo wM)ted slowly, tho picture of a
grief stricken inan.jdoiyn'ttiq.'raveled

approached It from tho other side.

"Ani so there has, Mrs. Kangtou.

lug her Minnie's note.
"I c.iu't conjecture what lias caused
her to write you. In this lashlorf," 6ald
Mrs, Itangton, when she had perused
the missive. "This morning," she ad
ded, "Minnie was looking. Joyfully for

'-lnd ypu dou't doubt '(iiat my affec

Mrs.' Itangton?" ho asked Interrupting,
her.
"I have had do causo for doubt,
Malcolm; nor will I tilt. I have full, and
sufficient proof. -I am. convinced there
Is soma great mistake, but what It is, 1
can neither say nor tliitik.'
"I hope It may provo nothing worse,"
he' replied, sadly; "I sought an expla
nation of her strange conduct, but .slio
would not grant me an Interview.
Good-bye, Mcs. Itangton, for I must go

may tell her that I fqr "'
"Malcolm, you shall do nothing of

were a child, and I'm sure you would
.not do anything wrong or unmanly. I

"My pride,, Mrs. IlaDgton, y, not

"I did lidt think 'shoxOUldfact In" such

The stated time had scarcely elapsed

appeared.
"Why Malcolm, she's In her room
