MISS BRETHERTON
By MIS. BUMFElgT WA1D,
AUTHOR Of "ROBIKJ ELSMKKE."
CHAPTER IX.
flie morning of Marie's funeral m tunny,
but bitterly cold; It m oea of then days
when autumn Anally paawi Inte winter and
the last memory of Um summer warmth van
isb from the air. II had been the saddest,
ureariestjaylngterett. The- widowed titter,
of whom Marie had spoken in her last hours,
had been unable te come, and the two men
bad gene through it all nlene, helped only by
the tearful, Impulsive sympathy and the prac
tical energy of tbemald who had been with
.Jlarle ever tinea her marriage, and was as
yet hardly capable of realizing her mistress'
(loath.
It was sbe who, whlle they wereaway, had
done her best te threw a little air of comfort
ever the forsaken salon. She had kindled
the fire, watered the plants and thrown open
tuowludewsto tbe sunsbiue, fading in hertell
snd movement some I ittle relief from her own
heartache and oppression. When Paul came
back, and with numb, trembling lingers had
stripped himself of his scarf aud his great
coat, be stepped ever the threshold into tu
salon and it scouted te him as though the sun
light and the open windows aud tlie crackling
bkue of the Ure dealt him a sudden blew.
Ha walked up te the windows, and shudder
ing, drew them down and closed the blinds,
Felicie watching him anxiously from the
landing through the half open deer. Then
he had thrown himself into a chair; and
Koudel, ceminj softly up stairs after him,
had gently closed the deer from the outside,
said a kind word te Fellcle, and himself
slipped noiselessly down again and out Inte
the Champs Elysecs. There he had paced up
and dewu for an hour or mero under tba
trees, from which a few frosty leaves were
still hanging In the December air.
Ue himself had been se stunned and be
wildered by the less which had fallen upon
him, that, wbcu he found himself alone and
out of doers again, be was for a while
scarcely able te think consecutively about It.
Ue walked along conscious for sotne time of
nothing but a sort of dumb physical con
geniality in the sunshine, in the clear blue
and wui te of the sky, in the cheerful distinct
ness and sharpness of every outline. And
then, little by little, the cheated grief reas
serted Itself, the numbed senses weke Inte
painful life, and he felt into broken musing
en the past, or into a bitter wonder ever the
precarious tenure by which men held theso
geed things whereon, se long as tbey are still
thelr own, they are se quick te rear an edlfice
of optimist philosophy. A week befere, his
sister's affection had been te him the ene suffi
cient screen between his own consciousness
and the desolate threatening Immensities of
thought and of existence, The screen had
fallen, and the darkness seemed te be rush
ing in upon him. And still, Ufa hed te be
lived, work te be get through, duties te be
faced: Hew is it donel he kept vaguely won
dering. Hew Is it that meu llve en te old
age aud see bend after bend broken, and pos
session after possession swept away, and still
And the years tolerable and the sun pleasant,
still cherish In themselves that lnoxbuustible
faith in an ideal something which supplies
from century te century the lnvincible mo
tive power of the race!
I'rescntly-by virtue of long critical and
philosophical habit his mind brought itself
te bear mero and mero steadily upon his own
position ; he stepped back, as It were, from
himself and bocame his own spectater. The
introspective temper was net common with
him; his mind was naturally turned outward
towards ethor people, towards books, to
ward intellectual Interests. But self study
had had 1U charm for him of late, and,
among ether things, it was new plain te him
that up te the moment of his Urst meeting
with Isabel Bretherton his life had been
mostly that of an onlooker a bystander.
Society, old mid new, men and women of the
last and of the present, the speculative
achievements of ether times and of his own
tbese had constituted a sort of vast drama
befere his eyes, which he had watahed and
studied with ail evor living curiosity. But
his interest in his particular rele had been
comparatively weak, and in analyzing ether
individualities he liad run seme risk of losing
his own.
Then leve came by, and tlie half dormant
personality within him had been seized upon
and reused, little by little, Inte a glowing,
although a repressed and hidden energy. He
had learned in his own person what it means
te crave, te thirst, te want. And new, grief
had followed and had pinned him mero
closely than ever te his special little part in
the human spectacle The old loftiness, the
old placidity of mood, were gene. He had
loved, .and lest, aud despaired, lioslde theso
great experiences hew trivial and evanescent
seemed all the Interest of the life that went
befere them I He looked back ever his Inter
course nlth Isabel Bretherton, and the points
upon which it had turned seemed se remete
from him, se inslguificaut, that for the mo
ment he could hardly realize them. The ar
tistic and orthetic questions which had
seemed te him se vital six months be be be
eoeo had faded almost out of view In the
fierce u:ighborheod of sorrow and passion.
His first relation te her had been that of ene
he knows te ene who Islgneraut; but that
puny link had dropped, and he was going te
meet her new, fresh from the proscuee of
death, loving her as a man loves a woman,
and claiming from her nothing but pity for
his grief, balm for bis wound the answer of
human tenderness te human need.
Hew strange and sad that she should be'
still in Ignerance of his less and hers I In the
early morning after Maria's death, wheu he
weke up from a few heavy hours of sleep, bis
mind had been full of her. Hew was tbe
news te be broken te hsrl He himself did
net feci that he could loave his brother-in-law.
Thcre was n, strong regard and sym
pathy betnecn them; and his presence iu the
hoiue of mourning would undoubtedly be
useful te Paul for a whlle; besides, there
were Marie's words, "Will you stay with him
a few days afterf ' which were biudlug en
him. He must write, then ; buTit was only te
be hoped that ue newspaper would bring her
the news befere his letter could reach.
However, as the day wero en, Paul came
noiselessly out of the quiet room uhere the
white shrouded form scetned still te spread a
tender presence, round It, aud said tolJustace,
with dry, piteous lips:
"I list e remembered Miss Bretherton; you
must go te her te-morrow, utter the
funeral."
"I can't bear the thought of leaving you,"
said Kendal, laying a brotherly baud en bis
shoulder. ,
"Let me write today."
Paul shook his head. "She has been ill.
Any way, it will be a great shock, but tf you
go it will be better."
Kendal resisted a little mere, but It seemed
as if Marie's motherly carefulness ever the
bright creature who hed charmed her had
passed Inte Paul. He was saying w hat Marie
would have said, taking thought as she would
have taken it for one she loved, and it was
settled as ha wished.
When his long pacing iu the Champs
Elysees was ever Kendal went back te find
Paul busy with his wife's letters and trinkets,
turning them ever with a leek of shivering
forlornness, as though the thought of the uti uti
cbmpanlened lifetime te ceme were already
closing upon him like seme deadly chill iu
the air. Beside him lay two miniature ceses
open; ene of tbem was tbecasewhlch Eustace
had received from his sister's hand en the
afternoon befere her death, and both of them
, contained Identical portraits of Marie In her
first brilliant womanhood.
"De you remember tbeinP Paul said in his
husky voice, pointing them out te him.
"They were done when you were at college
and she was S3. Your mother had two taken
one for benxjlf and ene for your old Aunt
Marien. Your mother left me hers when
she died, and your aunt's copy of it came
beck te us last year. Tell Miss Bretherton
iU history. She vill prize it. It is the best
picture still."
Kendal made a sicn of assent and took the
case. l'aul rese and steed beside him, me
chanically spreading out his baid te the
"Te-morrow, as seen as you are cone. I
shall go oil te Italy. There are some little
places in the south near Naples that she was
very fend of. I shall stay about there for a
while. As seen as I feel I can, I shall coma
back te tbe senate and my work. It Is the
only thing left me she was se keen about it."
His voice sunk Inte a whisperiand a long
silence fell upon them. TVetnea te sjetuaat
( sorrow her the wtlat of 'tears and
: merim creat reran k silence : but the
silence may be charged with sympathy and
the comfort of a sliared grief. It was se la
this wee.
The afterneee light was fading, and Ken
del was) about te rise and snake some tooces teoces toeces
aary preparations for his Journey, when Paul
detained him, looking up at him with sunken
yea which seemed te carry In them all the
history of the two nights just past "Will
you ever aek her what Marie wished P The
tone was the even and passionless toae of one
who for the moment feels noneof the ordi
nary embarrassment of Intercourse ; Kendal
met It with the aaae directness.
"Some day I shall ask her, or at least I
shall let her knew; but it will be no use."
l'aul shook his head, but whether In pretest
or agreement Kendal could hardly tell. Then
be went back te his task of sorting tbe letters,
and let tbe matter drop. It seemed as it he
were carcely capable of taking an Interest
in it for its own sake, but simply a a wish, a
charge of Marie.
Kendal parted from him in the evening
with an aching heart, and was haunted for
hours by the memory of the desolate flgure
returning slowly into the empty house, and
by a sharp prevision of all tbe lonely nights
aud tbe uncomfertcd morrows which lay be
fore the stricken man.
But, as Paris receded further and further
behind him, and the sea draw nearer, and the
shores of the country which held Isabel
Bretherton, it was but natural that even the
grip upon him of this terrible and startling
calamity should relax a little, and that be
should roallze himself as a man seeking the
adored woman, his veins still beating with
tbe currents of youth and the great un guessed
future still before him. He had left Marie in
tbe grave, and his life would bear the scar of
that less forever. But Isabel Bretherton was
still among the living, the worm, the beauti
ful, and every mlle brought him nearer .te
the electric joy of her presence. He took a
sad strange pleasure in making the contrast
between the ene picture and the ether os
vivid as possible, Death and silence en the
ene side eh, hew true and hew irrcporablel
But en the ether, he forced en his Imagina
tion till it drew for him en Image of youth
and beauty soglewing that it almost charmed
the sting out of his grief. The English
paper w hlch he succeeded in getting at Calais
coutained the anneuncement: "Miss Brether
ton has, we are glad te say, completely re
covered from the effects of the fainting fit
which se much alarmed the audlence at the
Calliepe last week. Bhe was able te play
'Elvira' as usual last night, and was greeted
by a large and sympathetic house." Ue read
it and turned the page hastily, as if what the
paragraph suggested was wholly dislfcteful
te him. Ue refused altogether te think of
her as weak or suffering; he shrank from his
own past misgivings, his own prophecies
about her. Tbe world would be a mero dark,
prison heuse it her blight beauty were over
clouded I She was net made for death, and
sbe should stand te him as the image of all
that escapes and resists and defies that tyrant
of our .years, and pain, his instrument and
hrrnld.
He reached Londen In the midst of a rainy
fog. The endless black streets stretched be
fore him in the dreary December morning
like se many reeds into tbe nether rontens:
hhe gas lamps scattered en unseasonable light
through tbe rain and fog. It was tbe aulnt-
fcsscuce of murky, cheerless winter.
lie reached his own rooms, and found his
tmanup and waiting for him. and a meal
ready. It was but three days since he had
been last there; the open telegram was still
lying en the table. One of his first act was
te put it hastily out of sight. Over his break
fast he planned his embassy te Miss Brether
ten. Tbe best time te find her alene, he
imagined, would be about midday, and in
the Interval he would put his books and pa-
sie ngni. iuey lay scattered about
ks. proofs and mauuscriet. As his or.
rly hands went te work upon thorn, he was
nscleus that hehad never been se remete
rem all that they represented. But his na na
ure was faithful and tenacious, and under
he outward sense of detachment there was
en inward premiso of return. "I will ceme
back te you," seemed te be the cry of his
thought. "Yeu shall be my only friends.
But first I must see her, and all my heart Is
hers I"
The morning dragged away, and at half
past 11 be went out, carrying the little case
with him. As be steed eutside the Bays
water house, In which be had settled for tbe
winter, he realized that he bad never yet been
under her reef, never yet seen her at home.
It was bis own fault. 8he bad asked him in
ber gracious way, en tbe first night of "El
vira," te ceme and see her. But instead of
doing se he had buried himself iu his Surrey
lodging, striving te bring tbe sober and aus
tere intluences of the country te bear upon
tbe feverish indecision of bis mood. Per
haps his disappearance and silence bad
wounded her; after all, he knew thut he had
seme place in her thoughts.
The scrvantwhe ojiciied'tliedoor demurred
te his request te see Miss Brothcrteu. "The
doctor says, sir, that at home she must keep
quiet; sbe bes net seen any visitors just,
lately." But Kendal persisted, and bis card
was taken in, w hlle he waited tbe result. The
servant hurried along the ground fleer pas
sage, knocked at tbe deer at tbe further end,
went In for a moment, nnd came out beckon
ing te blm. He obeyed with n beating heart,
and sbe threw open the deer for blm.
Inside steed Isabel Bretherton, with eager
surprise and pleasure lit her whele attitude.
She had just risen from her cluilr, and was
coming forward; a soft white cashmcre
shawl bung around ber; her dress, of seme
dark, rich stuff, fell with the flowing, stately
lines peculiar te It; her face was slightly
Hushed, and the brilliancy of her color, of
her hair,' of her white, outstretched band,
seemed te Kendal totake all tbe chill and
gloom out of the winter air. Bhe held some
proof sheets of a new play lu her hand, and
the rest lay piled beside ber en a little table.
"Hew kind of you, Mr. Kendal," she said,
advancing with ber quick, impulslve step
towards him. "I thought you bad forgotten
us, and I have been wanting your advice se
badly) I have just been complaining of you
a little iu a letter te Mme. de Chateau vivux I
She"
Then she suddenly stepped, checked and
startled by his face. He was always color
less and thin, but tlie two nights be bad just
passed through bad given him an expression
of haggard exhaustion. Ills black eyes
seemed te have lest the keenness which was
se remarkable iu tbem, and his prematurely
gray hair gave blm almost a leek of age in
splte of the lightness aud pliancy of the fig fig
ure. He came forward and took her hand nerv
ously and closely in bis own.
"I have ceme te briug you sad news," be
said, gently, aud socking anxiously word by
word bow ha might soften what, after all,
could net be softened. "M. de Cbateauvleux
scut me te you at once, that you should net
bear in auy ether way. But It must be a
shock te you for you loved her."
"Obi'' she cried, interrupting blm, speak
ing In short, gasping words, und answering
net se much bis words as his leek. "She is
ill she is iu danger something has hap
pened!" "I was summoned en Wednesday," said
Kendal, helpless, after all, Iu the grip of the
truth, which would net be managed or con
trolled. "When I get there she bad been two days
ill, and thcre was no hope."
He paused; ber eyes of agonized question
ing implored him te go en. "I was with ber
six hours-after I came she liad no pain it
was quite .ieaceful, and alie died in tbe even
ing." Bhe bad been watching blm open eyed,
every vestige of color fading from cheek and
lip; when he stepped, sbe gave a little cry.
He let go her baud, and sbe sunk Inte a chair
uear, se white and breathless that ha was
alarmed.
"Shall I get you watcrP be nsled after a
moment or two, bending ever her.
"Ne," she whispered with difficulty; "let
me alene just for a ralnute."
He left her side and steed leaning against
the mantelpiece, waiting anxleuily. Bhe
struggled against the physical oppression
which had suizcd)upeuber,and fought it down
bravely. But be noticed with a pang, new
that the flush was geno, that sbe looked
fragile and worn, and, as bU thought went
back for a moment te the Burrey Sunday
and her young rounded beauty among tbe
spring green, he could have cried out iu use
less rebellion against the unyielding physical
conditions which press upon aud imprison
the Heme of life.
At last the falntness passed off, and sbe sat
up, her hands clasped round her knees, aud
the tears running fast ever ber checks. Her
grief was like lurlf-frank, slmpW, ex
pressive. ."WlUyw WM .ort beuUM Oh, I
asstMem i i a-a a. a.I a-.-. .
. hte a-tra ucri
"Yeu were ene of ber chief thought at
tbe last," said Kendal, much moved. Aud
he went en Je tell ber the story of Marie'
ilylus. hours, describing that gentle with
drawal from llfe with a manly tenderness of
feeling and a quick memory for all that
could soften the impression of it te tbe lis
tener. And then be brought out the minia
ture and gave It te her, and she accepted It
with a fresh burst of sorrow, putting It te
her lips, studying It, and weeping ever it
with an 'abtolute spontaneity and self aban
donment, which was lovely because It was se
true.
"Oh, peer M. de Chateauvieuxl'1 sbe-crled,
after a long pause, looking up te blm. "Hew
will be llve without hcrf He will foul himself
se forsaken I"
"Yes," said Kendal huskily, "he will be
very lonely, but ene must leurn te bear It."
8be gazed at him with quick, startled sym
pathy, and nil her womanly nature seemed
te rise into her upturned face and yearniug
eyes. It was as though her attention had
been specially recalled te him; as though his
particular less nnd sorrow were brusquely
brought borne te ber. Aud tlicu she was
struck by the strangeness and unexpected
ucss of such a meeting botween tbem. He
bad lieen te ber a Judge, an authority, nn
embodied standard. His high mlndeduess
bad wen her confidence; his affection for his
sister had touched and charmed her. But
she had never been conscious of any Intimacy
with him. Still less bad she ever dreamed of
shoring a common grief with him, of weep
ing at bis side. And the contrast between
her old relation with him and this new sol
emn oxpcrieuco rushing In upon ber filled her
with emotion. Tbe memory of the Nunebjun
day weke again in her of the shock between
her uature and his, of her overwhelming
sense of the intellectual difference between
them, and then of the thrill which his ver
dict upon "Elvira" had stirred in her. The
relation which she had regarded as a mero
intellectual and friendly one, but which had
- been far mero real and important te ber than
even she herself had ever guessed, seemed te
have transformed itself slnce hi had entered
the room into something close and personal,
ills last words had called up lu ber a sharp
impression of tbe man's inmost nature as It
was, beneath the polished scholarly surface.
Tbey had appealed te her en the simplest,
commonest human ground; sbe felt them im
pulsively as a call from him te her, and her
own heart overflowed.
Bhe rose, and went near te him, bending
towards him like a spirit of healing, her
whele soul in her eyes. "Ob, I am se sorry
for yeul" sbe exclaimed, and again the quick
tears dropped. "I knew it is no common
less te you. Yeu were se much mero te each
ether than brether and sister of ten ar. It is
tcrrible for you."
His whele man was stirred by her pity, by
tbe eager expanslvenes of her sympathy.
"Say it again!" he murmured, as thelr eyes
met; "say It again I It Is se sweet from
yeul"
Thcre was a long pause: she steed as If
fascinated, her hands falling slowly beside
her. Her gaze wavered till tboeyelids fell
and she stoednbsolutely motienloss, the tear-
Eiiuonuercneoic. The strange Intoxicating
ferce of feeling, set In motion by sorrow and
pity and the unsuspected influence of his
leve, was sweeping them out into deep
waters. Sbe could hardly breathe, but as be
watched her all tbe manhood in him rose,
and from tbe midst of grief put forward an
imperious claim te the beloved and beautiful
woman befere blm. He came forward a
step, took tbe cold, unresisting hands, and
bending befere her pressed them te bis lips,
whlle ber bewildered eyes looked down upon
him.
"Your pity is heavenly," he said, brokenly,
"but glve mu mero, give me mero I I want
your leve I"
Bhe gave a little start aud cry, and, draw
ing away her hands from blm, sank back en
her chair. Her thoughts went flying back te
the past te the stretches of Surrey common,
te the Nuneham weeds, and all she had ever
seen or Imagined of bis feelings toward her.
She bad never, never suspected him of loving
her. She had bent him her friendly messages
from Venice in the simplest geed faith; she
had joined in his sister's praises of him with
out a moment's self consciousness. Ills ap
proval of her play in "Elvira" bad given ber
the saroe frank pleasure that a master's geed
word gives te a pupil and all tbe time he
bad loved her loved herl Hew strange I
hew incredlblel
Kendal followed, bent ever ber, listened,
but no word came. She was, Indeed, tee be
wildered and overwhelmed te speak. Tbe
old bitter fear and certainty began te assert
itself against the overmastering impuUe
which had led him en.
"I hae startled you bliecked you," he
cried. "I ought net te have spoken and at
such a time. It was your pity overcame me
your sweet womanly kindness. J have
loved you, I think, ever since that first even
ing after the 'White Lady.' At least, wheu
I leek back upon my feeling, I see that it was
leve from the beginning. After that day at
Kuneham I kiuw it was lete; but I would
net acknowledge it; I fought against it. It
seemed te me that you would never forget
that I bad been harsh, that I had bebaved
rather like an cnemy than a friend. But you
did forget you showed me howneblo a wo
man could be, aud evcry day after we parted
iu July I loved you mere. I thought of you
all the summer when I was burled iu the
country my days aud nights were full of
you. Then when your great success came
it was base of me but all the time whlle I
was sending my congratulations te you
through my sister at Venice, I was really
feeling that there was no mero hepe for me,
nnd that some cruel ferce was carrying you
away from me. Then came 'Elvira' and I
seemed te give you up forever."
Her bauds dropped from her face, aud ber
great hazel eyes were ilxed upeu him with
that intent leek he remembered long age
when she liad asked him for the "truth"
about herself sud !er position. But thcre
was ue pain in it new; nothing but wonder
and a sweet moved questioning.
"WhyP Tlie word was just breathed
through her parted lips.
Kendal heard It with a start the little
sound loosed his speech and made him elo
quent. "Wuyl Because I thought you must In
evitably be absorbed, swallow bd up by the
great new future befere you; because my
own llfe looked se gray and dull beside yours.
I felt it impessible you should steep from
your helght te leve me, te yield your bright
self te me, te glve me heart for heart Be I
went away that I might net trouble you.
Aud then" his voice sunk lower still "came
the summons te Paris, aud Murle en ber
deathbed tried te make me hope. And just
new your pity drew the heart out of my lips.
Let me hear you fergive ma."
Every word liad reached its mark. She
had realized at lest something of the deptb,
tbe tenacity, the rich, illiml table premiso of
the passion which sbe had reused. The ten
derness of Marie seemed te encompass tbetu,
aud a sacred, pathetic sense of her death and
less drew tbem together. Her respect, her
reverencc, her interest bad been yielded long

and time were suspended, a If he and she
were standing wlthla the "wind warm space"
of love, while death and sorrow and parting

BAD FOR BLONDE HAIR.
The F.BVct of Natural Gas an OeliWn
Tresies Dees It Cause UcaftaessT
Natural pis liaa inadn encmle among
Indies, lllonde hulr has had much te de
with it. When burning gaa is introduced
into tbe Nitue apartment with blonde
hair nud allowed te remain thcre, the
peculiar action of one upon the ether
will develop. Some Indies are net at
tached te their hnli ; this Is unnatural.
Most of the fair box glory in their hair;
that is nnttirnl. Hut, whither natural or
net, in cither case, hair of golden line
always suITem from association with
natural gns.
Notwithstanding IhhtclTvct, Ihcre Isnti
affinity which drawn thu two together,
and lilonde hair cannot csoape the inllu inllu
ence of IU nrdent pl.igue when the two
ceme into intimate relations. The elTcct
is itnpcrccplible at first, and it is only
after a certain cried of clese association
that the pernicious und utterly demoral
izing iulhtcnce upon bletutu hair it ap
parent and the hitherto unknown char
acter of the deceptive gas U discovered.
The insidious inlliiciice seems te be cx
ertlve at .first cenlnct of gaa with blomle
hair, although net immediately notice netice netice
able upon the latter, nnd lays held upon
every filwr of its nature, growing tnore
powerful and nsscrtive until the victim
imperceptibly given way and the work
of ruin has be far progressed that any
effort te frce blende hair is futile, and
the end is accomplished in the utterly
blackened character of the beautiful
victim.
Te be mero specific, the vapor, Imper
ceptible te the naked eye, generated by
the gas, attacks the golden tresses,
wTiether wig or in n Btate of luxuriant
growth, nml gradually darkens the into
of blende hair as long as the inllucnce
continues. The aper is ammonia, which
can be Been en the glass iu a room wheru
it rises. It combines with the sulphur iu
the hair chemically, which produces a
Bulphuretef ammonia. Whcre the chemi
cal nctien is strong enough, the lialr
would beconie black. This is plausible
A Penn nvcnue physician, in speaking
of Bonie of the effects of heat from natural
gas, yesterday said:
"The use of natural gas has been a gen
eral tople of complaint with a large num
ber of my patients. I am net prepared
te say that deafness is en the increase,
hut natural gas, ns it is new used iu
dwellings, has n decided tendency in
that direction. The great treuhlu is thin:
The gas id turned en te such an extent
that n very high Icmpcrature is ebtained
and maintained throughout the day nnd
night. Tills at all times is unhealthy.
The heat is entirely without inoisture,
that will naturally dry up the del lea te
membranes, preduce n dry catarrhal dis dis
ease which very materially affects the
ear nnd threat, producing both hoarso hearso hoarse
tipss and deafness.

KuKleeu Memery.
A gentleman ence said, in Welling
ton's presence, that great memories are
generally the sign of great talents, and
instanced Napeleon, who could single
out soldiers iu reviews und call them by
name te step out of tlie ranks.
"That la a great mistake," replied the
duke. "I'll tell you hew he managed it.
One of his gcncrulti, Lebau, used te get
ready for him a list of soldiers te be
called out from each regiment. When
Napeleon rede up opjtebito te a regiment
he would call out the nanioef the soldier
te 1m) honored, aud the man would etcp
forward that wan nil.
"I also doubt the goodness of his mem
ory," continued the duke, "from the
looseness and inaccuracy of his state
ments. Iu hid works I mean all that
he lias ever written you never find a
thing related precisely as it happened,
lie seems te have no clear nor distinct
recollection; scarcely ence has he ever
tripped into truth I"
In another conversation Wellington
said that Napeleon's genius made him se
pre-eminent that all of his niarsliais
bccmcd inferior te him. "Ue suited u
French army exactly, and at their head
there never was unything like him. I
used te say of him that his presence en
'the field made the difference of forty
thousand men."
Tlie devotion of the French nrmy te
Napeleon is illustrnted by tbe fact that
several of the French prisoners wound

With regard, writes a well informed
correspondent, te a paragraph in your
"Literary Notes" of Saturday, en the
Eubject of tlie ga'rm of novelists, I bo be bo
lievo you are right iu stating tliat the
highcbt price ever paid for an English
work of fiction was the 12,000
which Ird Ileaeeusficld received
from Messrs. Longman for "Kndy "Kndy
inien," and, by the way, they made
a very bad largain. He al&e ob
tained from the tame (Inn nearly ns big
a price for "Lethalr." Qeorge Eliet,
who received 17,000 for "Itomela,"
made, from first te last, cjuite10,000 by
nt least ene of her novels, in which the
retained a large nhare of tlie copyright.
Including American and foreign rights,
Dickens was te have received '0,000 for
"Edwin Drood." Wilkle Cellins received
5,250 for "Armadale."
Of Sir Walter Scott's neveh, "Wood "Weed
stock" produced about 8,200, and ns he
was writing at the bame time tlie "Life
of Najwleen," the first and Mcend edi
tions of which realized 18,000, he made
(including sums received for reviews nnd
ether miner works) 28,000 in the couree
of eighteen months! Thackeray was te
have i received a ery high price for
"Denis Duval," the story he was writing
when lie died; but the largest bum lie
ever was laid was, I believe, a trlile un
der 5,000, which he obtained for "The
Nowcemes." Going back a hundred
years, we find Mim Hurney obtaining
2,000 guineas for "Cecilia," her becend
work, and this was probably the highest
price paid until tbe Wuverley era. St.

anything, and, being a man, could et course
put In a window pane. Pilled with our new

stere we paid eight cents for a pane of glass
aud a generous plece of putty. It was bit
terly Celd new, aud we were obliged te keep
our fingers out et our muffs and take turns
In carrying the precious burden. It was im

"'By jeve, you are methodical,' he said,
'but where is your chisel!'
"Alas, alack! a carpenter bad borrowed It
long before, aud It had net beeu returned,"
"'Yeu see,' said our tall relative, with
considerable masculiue contempt in his tone,
you women always expect a man te work

"Esther and I were silenced for a time.
After dinner our six feet of relative left us,

An Elephant's Memery,
A clieus traveling through the country
parts of Knglnnd stepped ene day at a
little town called Hythe. That night
when everything waa quiet in the tent,
nnltnaU and empleyes all being Bound
asleep, Clytie, ene of the ctlphantfl, de
liberately nnd without any uproar, breke
the chain that fastened, her feet, nnd
leaving the tent started tewnrd the center
of the town. Nobody wen astir, and he
alie had the way all te herself.
She proceeded without delay or hesi
tation te a little shop thnt Meed en the
main street of the village, nud finding it
closed, et ceurse, she immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was seen nil busy mi
elephant as you ever saw cramming
candy and cakes down her enpacietu
threat. The man who owned the elmp
canto running in from the back room,
hut Clytie did net pause in her lunch en
that account, nor did nhe pay nny mero
attention when he run out again crying,
"Owl Owl" In fact, Bhe totally disru
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took tip that cry of "Owl Owl"
Hut pretty seen n little man came up,
who cried out in n Hlmrp voice;
"III, there, Clyllel What d'ye mean?
Come out e' that new, d'ye hearl"
And Clytie did ceme out, and iu n
great hurry, tee, for the little mini wni
her keeper, nnd she net only had a great
deal of respect ferilm, hut she was
nfraldef him, ns well. Hut, uftcrnll,
she didn't care much about It, for she
hud filled herself with candy nud cukes,
and that was nil bhe was after,
The most puzzling question was how hew
did she distinguish n candy fliep from
any ether shop' in the village? The bliop bliep
luan gave the answer te this himself he
had fed an chphant enndy nt thut very
shop twolve years Ufore, nud inquiry
developed the fact that Clytie wan that
