LCVE AND A DUCKING.
•This is my daughter, Caroline.
Carrie, Mr. Sloane."
Harry Sloane bowed, and pretty,
winsome Carrie Hervey Imwed in re
turn.
Harry had picked out the farm as
a residing place during a business
trip.
After Carrie's father had intro
duced the young people lie went to
theliarn. leaving the pair seated upon
the porch.
"A pleasant spot this," said Harry,
after he had finished admiring the
pretty, dimpled hands which the girl
had carelessly laid upon the I'ght blue
serge dress.
"You like it?" she asked.
"Like does but half express my ad
miration. It seems as though I should
la- perfectly satisfied to linger here
forever," rescinded Harry.
"Hut surely, Mr. Sloane, the attrac
tions of eitv life must surpass those
of such a humdrum locality as this."
"On the contrary, I prefer what you
call the humdrum locality."
"And why,may I ask?"
"Because, l>ecause well, I cannot
fully explain my reason. I supjM.se it
is because 1 am heartily sick of city
ways."
"And so you come here for a
change?"
"Yi-s, I tielieve that is the reason."
The jiair sat there upon the por< h.
talking iijM.n one surqo-t and the
other, until the evening shadows fast
deepened into darkness.
Finally Harry arose, and said,—
"As I am somewhat tired with my
journey I w ill retire."
The girl called her father, and the
latter taking a lamp led the way to the
front chamber on the upper tl<M>r.
Harry took up his travelling-bag. and
after a "good-night" to Carrie, he fol
lowed the old gentleman up the stairs,
and shortly afterwards was soundly
sleeping.
"He is handsome, and so is J ark. He
is gentlemanly, and Jack is not quite
so easy. He talks and acts like a real
gentleman, and Jack ran hardly ever
find the right word to say w hen it is
needed. Jack loves me, and I I won
der do I really and truly love Jack"'"
%u* Carrie musts] after she had dis
?ol>etl herself for the night, and sat by
the window.
Strange, she had never questioned
the fact as to whether or not. she loved
lack. She had always taken it" for
granted that she did love the handsome,
brown-faced farmer-hoy, who hail ac
companied her home from singing in
the jiarish room on practising nights in
the winter, and taken her to picnics
ami on excursions in summer.
Xhcirs had been on affection without
tny question, any doubt or mistrust to
mar the serenity of its flow.
Two, three weeks pass rapidly, and
Harry Sloane finds himself musing
over the jwtssibilitv of his being able to
provide f r a wife, Carrie's lovely
face, her jiretty figure and her grace
have L<een the whole cause of his JMT
plcxity. Before he inet her he never
bad a thought of ever marrying.
He had espied a fine young fanner
•n several occasions talking with Car
rie at the gate, but she bad told him
jfhatit was Jack, a schoolmate, ami a
tifclong friend.
On® evening Harry was seated in
the parlor talking with Carrie, w hen a
* irnp halted at the door, and Jack asked
ler to take a ride. Again, w hen Harry
requested her to take a row on the
ake, she said she was very sorry, but
ihe hail an engagement with—Jack.
"Miss Hervey, that Jack seems to
lake up all of your spare time," cx
ilciined Harry.
•tKxouoo me, Mr. Sloane. not quite
I " I
all, I believe I am at your service
when not otherwise engaged most of
the time."
And turning on his heel Harry would
leave Carrie. This soon became com
mon, and finally Harry was determined
to end all by asking Carrie for her
hand.
"Miss Ilcrvey, will you walk with
me along the riverside this evening?"
asked Harry one evening after tea.
"1 I don't know."
"(if course; it's another engagement.
Xo matter, 1 return to the city in the
morning," interrupted Harry.
"You are wrong, Mr. Sloiuie; I have
no other engagement. To prove it, I
will go tothe riser with you."
She put on her pretty,widc-hrimmod
Hainshorough ami walked by his side
to the river.
"It is pretty," she said, gazing out
Upon the lake which reflected each
shining star and fleecy, floating cloud
upon its mirror-like surface.
"I'rettylyes, beyond all others I have
ever looked upon." Something in his
tlines caused Carrie to look up ipiiekly,
and she blushtsl as she found his eyes
gazing straight into hers. "Carrie 1
I love you."
There, it was said. The die was
east, and Harry's heart jumped up into
his throat.
"Mr. Sloanc- "
"There now. Carrie, don't Mr.Sloane
me. Can you nut call me Harry?"
"I might that i-, if I had known
you longer."
"You call that farmer .lack."
"tilt, .lack and I Were children |o
g 'ln r. That makes a difTerenec. you
"I suppoM'so. Hut, Carrie, tell mo,
do you love me?" a-ked ll.irry, trying
to take her hand in his, a lib, rtv w huh
she did not seem di*q* •-•-! to permit.
"I I let us go lai k now, Mr.
Harry," said Carre
"1 love you, Carrie, Will yai not
give me just one small ray < f !. ■; •• ?"
"I 1 don't know," responded -he.
Harry >renied very mm h in rarm->t.
Ja< k had never, during all the years
of their association. >|ik'!i of 1<•
She, like other girls in common, had a
di al of admiration for a brave man.
And Harry >l* .me -eene d a \ ihant
personage to Carrie, since he had dared
to tell her that lie loved her.
"Who does know then?" asked
II irrv.
- I cannot; I please Jet's go ba k
home now." utter.*! Carrie.
">ball we row the l*oat, the 11**1©
boat down ttieri', up to the stream
which flows by the house?" -aid Harry
point i gto a small lioat tear them.
"If you wish," -aid Carrie.
They got into ttie l*>at, and pushing
it from the shore, Harry pin-d the
oars. A silence fell upon them after
the lioat had gone a short distance.
They reached the turn of the water,
where the small stream j>i red its crys
tal waters into a lake, ilarry turned
the ls>at around horror! the frail
affair struck against a rock, and in
another instant they were both j>n
eipitated into the water. Harry, as he
went over, managed to grasp hold of
the ls>at, and Carrie, as gf*>d luck
would hauc it, found herself scabs!
securely upon the rock.
"Miss Hervey," said Harry, "we are
in a nice prislieament."
"I'm wet through and through,"
cried Carrie.
Strangely enough, the thorough wet
ting -ee nits I totake all ttie romance out
of l.oth. Here in the water, up to
their waists, Harry hanging on tothe
shaft* red lMiat for tlear life, and Carrie
seated upon the rock, some ten or more
yards from shore, all all affairs con
nected with love were utterly vague to
them.
"What shall we do?" said Carrie.
Harry did not reply. Swim he could
not. and he knew* if he once lost his
hold he would go down, flown to a
watery grave.
"I l'in sorry we started. I I
Miss. Miss Her Hervey, we shall lx>th
1m- at the lsittom by morning," stut
tered Harry.
"Humph! 1 shouldn't wonder abit,
jMor Mr. Sloane?"
"\Yh—what do •• u—yjit mean?"
"Why don't v a do something, Mr.
Sloane? Swim lo shore for another
)>ont. Do any thin* log si me off this
horrid rock!"
"I—l can't s\. i;n!"
"Jack c"li!"
"I'mglad to—to hear it. I—l wish
.lack was here."
Carrie tnen seemed to lie possessed
of an idea which she suddenly put into
effect, for raising her . oiceto its high
est pitch, she cried "Jack! Jack!
Jack!"
"Hallo!" a voice in the distance re
, sponded
"tjuick, Jack. Out here in the river
where the si cam flows in," cried Car
rie, as siic espied Jack's form upon the
shore.
And then Jack dashed into the
water and walked as quickly as possi
ble to Carrie, took her in his arms, and
walked back to shore.
I
i "Help? How am Ito got ashore?*
yelled Harry.
"Walk ashore! The water is abbot
waist-deep. You don't want ine to
carry yon, do you?" exclaimed .lack,
as he walked oil towards the house,
Carrie, very limp and dripping walk*
\ ing by lift side.
Harry walked toshore. What a fool
be bad been. If lie had only known
the depth of the water, perhaps he
would not have lost Carrie.
Anyhow, he returned to the city in
the morning; and I can assure you he
never mentioned the little circum
stance.
Carrie and Jack were married short
ly afterwards. She said that the sight
of Harry in the water had clcansl away
all doubt, and she straightway knew
that she did indeed love .lackl

A foreign paper says : The empress
af Austria, even putting aside the fact
that she is a grandmother, is a most
marvelous woman, and has recently

severe course of training for the hunt

tho time that her majesty was at her
simmer residence at Ischl, in I'ppcr
Austria, she generally rose at fi o'clock
in the morning and devoted a couple
if hours to gymnastics and fencing,
after which the morning bath and a !
plain but hearty breakfast were oup
plemented by a walk or ride of sottric
hours.
Lately the empress has actually lieen
running for two hours a day, and to
encourage her in the exertion a pack
of Wautiful foot 1 eagles have recently

over, the ears of the Harvest mouse art
shorter in proportion than those of tln
ordinary mouse, the head is larger and

Shopping.
To woman there is a
tion in shopping that no man's imlflPt
nation can comprehend. Take the
concent rated essence of enjoyment a
man gets out of smoking, chewing,
ban-ball, pool, poker ami church so
cials, and you don't legin to aixe up
the unction of a healthy young wife
turmsl loose with a fifty dollar note in
her pocket. She's in for a regular len
der a wild dissipation of ruffles, laces
and things—and she flutters around
from counter to counter in a thrilling
eostacy of pricing cottons and match
ing colors. The blissful dream is over g
some time. Then with a sigh, she re
leases her last nickle, which she has 9
tied up in the corner of her pocket
handkerchief to pay for her car fare,
and she hurries home, her head aching
fit to split, her swolen feet bursting the
narrow bounds of her nunilier four
Italbrigans, and her heart cold with a
racking fear that Jones' young man
will change those checked hose for
some of inferior quality, or that the
sweet thing in fall prints won't wash
after all.
It costs#l,9oo,ooo to light the streets
