TART I.
Beware, nv friends, of fiends 3nd their
prlmaces.
Of little angels' wiles yet more beware
thee.
Just such a one to kiss her diet ensnare me.
Bat coming-, I got 'wounds, and not eui-
h races.
Beware of old black cats vi ith evil faces:
Yet more of kittens white and soft he
m arv.
JIt sweetheart was just s,ueli a little fairy,
And j et she well-nigh scratched my heart to
pieces.
Obhild! 0 sncot love! dear beyond all
measure,
how could those eyes so bright and clear de
ceive me?
That little paw so sore a heart-wound give
me?
Jly kitten's tender paw, thou soft, small
treasure.
Oh: could I to my burning lips but press
thee.
My heart the while might bleed to deathand
bless thee.
I am very sorry to have to say it, yet I
must speak the truth even of her I love
most; and I repeat, what I always have
maintained, not only that she was comrlete
ly in the wrong, but that she ought to con
fess it.
"We had loved each other all our lives.
Our fathers were old brother officers and the
closest of friends; and each being widowed
and the father of an only child, what was
more natural than that when they left the
service and her father settled
on his estate, my father should
take up his quarters in a pretty cottage on
his friend's domains? "What plans the two
old fellows used to make for their children's
future! I, of course, should enter the old
legiment; and she, of course, should marry
me. Alas! I myself w as the cause of the
shattering of the first dream, and subse
quent events very nearly put an end to all
chance of the second's being realized.
When I had reached the age of 17, when
my brain ought to have been on fire for the
sound of the drum, and my sleep dis
turbed bv dreams of the glories of
Har, my dear old father discovered
through" an intolerable odor which
pervaded the house, and was traced to a
mysterions box in my bedroom that my
mind turned toward science, and that a
macerating pot or the dissecting table was
more to me than the extermination of the
entire British army. I often sigh now as I
think of the sad headshakings the poor old
gentlemen must have indulged in as they
discussed my extraordinary fancy over their
wine; and I know that my little playfellow,
Avis, treated me to a good deal of contempt
when it was confessed that I actually turned
Irom "the only profession suitable for a
gentleman," and deliberately chose that of
a mere sawbones.
Poor old father! He loved me too well to
oppose me; and one dnll autumn morning I
lelt the old home to enter upon my studies
at the University of Edinburgh. Why did
I go to Edinburgh, and not Loudon ? Well,
I think it was partly because I had a feeling
that I was breaking with all the old life;
and, therefoic, wanted to put hundreds of
miles between me and the old home, as I
l:ad put hundreds of difficulties between niy
lather and the realization of his old hope.
How well I remember my arrival that
cold, gray morning in the beautiful city! I
lelt my lugsrage at the station, and climbed
up the steep hill that leads from the land of
steam and noise to the most beautiful street
I have yet seen in my wanderings. How
grandly, aivav to my left, rose the magnifi
cent ' Old Town," topped with its castle;
and to my right, the gardens and splendid
buildings of Princes street; while behind
me couched the "Lion," watching over
the safety of the maiden city! How lonely
I felt among it all how utterly lost! I
think that, if all had approved my design
to become a doctor, I should at that mo
ment have turned and gone back to Eng
land, and promised mj-old lather to do
anything he might wish. But the
vision o! a child with long flowing hair, (de
fiant face, and hands clasped behind her,
came across my mental vision. She had re
fused to bid me goodby. How she would
triumph if I came home again, my work un
done! Xo! I must go on. So I plucked up
heart, and wandered on alone in that un
known city, looking for a place wherein to
lay my weary head. Before long I lound
lodgings, and had my things removed to a
little street near the theater. And not
many weeks had passed before I was as
happy as a king, drinking in all the new
mysteries of my chosen profession. Ah!
that first enthusiasm, why doesn't it last?
"Why, a tL.e i cars go on, does there come in
its stead such utter loathing of each
fresh step? I did not in the least
mind the dissecting room; but the operating
theatre the hospital the horror of it all!
"Well, it is over; and to that supercilious
little figure with the flying hair and the
clenched hands do I owe the obstinacy that
carried me through these four years of sun
thine and shadow. Give in, when she had
:id: "I know you will hate it. I hope
you will give it up!" Shall I give it up?
If ever! The thought of the look of triumph
1 should see in the eyes of that youug girl
acted as a spur to me."
I worked on. I hardly ever went home;
for I was ically "keen on" my work, and
Fpent most of my spire time among the
foreign hospitals and schools. Then a
serious nines', coming upon mejustasl
had completed my course, made me decide,
on my recovery, to go as a doctor on board
a great ship sailing to the other ends of the
earth. So thanks to one thing and another,
it was not till the slim, awkward boy ot
eighteen had changed into a great weather
beaten man of four or five and twenty, that
1 once more stood on the old walled "terrace
of the home of my little love. And by niv
tide was the little love herself! And snen
a little love ! At twenty she was no bigger
than she had been at fiitcen; but oh ! so
much prettier. The hair that had then been
often dragged back into a stiff pigtail now
wandered in wondrous waves over her
little head, poised like a flower
on her sweet neck. Xo more
ink-bespattered pinafores and scratched
hands; no more long, thin spindle-shanks
showing underashort and skimpr skirt! io;
she was as dainty as a iairy, and took now
as much pains to adorn her" already perfect
little self as at one time she had seemed to
expend on trying lo personate a scarecrow.
Yes; I stood by her once again, and knew
that I was likely to be near her for the rest
of our lives. For my dear father was get
ting old, and longed to have his only son
beside him. So I was only too delighted
when the offer came of a practice in the
neighborhood. Yes, I had come home "to
live and die," as my aged nurse
cheerfully put it, in the home of mv
childhood; aud I could hardly believe I was
not a child again, as once more I settled
into the well-known routine: dined with the
two old gentlemen; strolled out as of old on
the terrace with my early play mate; climbed
at night once more to the familiar room
under the thatch; and listened as in years
gone by to the murmur of the stream that
.Jaa-Jrom her home to mine. Yes, it was all
the same! The old women seemed not a
day older; the trees very little bigcer; the
river just as it had always been. Only,
how different it all was: how different tne
thoughts that thrilled through my brain
the leelings that throbbed iu my heart!
Well, well, we need not go over all that
strange, miserable, happy time when my
mind was filled with doubt and fear; when
I knew not whether I was to be the most
blessed or the most wretched of men;
whether I was to stay contentedly at home
lor the rest of toy life or start once more on
my travels to heal a broken heart as best I
could among foreign lands and uuknown
faces. I sometimes fancy that if we could
but turn back the "forward-flowing tide of
time," I would live these weeks over again.
But at length they came to an end. One
still June evening, when the moon
was but a crescent in the sky,
aud the nightingales were singing
with all the strength of their tiny throats
and fervor of their great hearts, my little
love laid her golden head somewhere about
the lower edge of my breast-pocket, and
gazing up in my face,' promised to overlook
the fact that I was only a sawbones and no
gallant officer.
"Well, you see," whispered the little
voice, "you are so big and strong and hand
some, it"is no use trying to fight against
you. I love you, I love you! and after all.
you are my own dear old Clinton; and I'd
marry you if you were a sweep, which is
even worse than a doctor." And the brave
blue eves looked up at me so proudly and
so trustingly, that I thought no man had
ever before such loving glances cast upon
him.
Oh, what a happy time we had ! I thought
that trouble could Dever touch me more.
As I strode home through the soft air to tell
my father the glad news, I felt like an
archangel.
Yes, I fancied my troubles were at an end
that I was going to be blessed beyond all
human flesh; but I did not yet realize what
it is to be an engaged man I .No sooner
were we safely-and firmly betrothed, than i
my young lady contracted such a habit of
flirting as made me stand agape. maintain
that sh-j flirted. She insists that she did
not ! She says she was only making herself
agreeable for the sake of my practice.
She repeats that she smiled on the curates,
youths from Oxford, retired military men,
etas not as men at all, but purely as possi
ble future patients! Did I want them
bought with her smiles? Still, such an in
jured saint did she look when I ventured to
expostulate, that I hardly knew how to
bear myself; and I used to wonder whether
I really was the most suspicious brute on
the face of the crccn earth.
At length matters reached a climax, and I
turned at last.
It was in the week of the "Lawn
Tennis Tournament" the oue great
excitement of our little country
side when a young hussar made his
appearance, and "contrived to get himself
drawn as her partner in the doubles! She
declares I am simply talking nonsense when
I assert that he got himself drawn as her
partner; and she says that it is all done by
lots, and that people must play with just
whoever falls to their lot! "Well, that is
neither here nor there. She need not have
behaved as she did. He did not live in
these parts of the world: he could not be
considered as a possible patient; yet the
interest she took in him was most marked.
If it is a fact that she could not help hav
ing him for her partner in the 'doubles'
as they called the thing need she
have stood watching him with all her
eyes in the "singles," clapping her hands
at each stroke he won, or have been the
first to congratulate him the moment he
had put on his abominable loud "blazer"
and marched off the field or court vic
torious? I do not play tennis, having more im
portant matters "to attend to; nor do I dance
particularly well; still at their insufferably
dull "tennis ball she need not have thrown
me over for him in the pronounced way she
choose to do.
"Oh, Clinton, may I give Captain Smyth
one of vour dances? You won't mind, will
you?" "
"Oh, certainly not; give him the lot if
you like," I answered blandly.
I did not know till that moment that the
sweetest of blue eyes can flash sparks of ice;
but I saw them do it then.
"Oh, thank you so much. There, Captain
Smyth; that is delightful; you can have
three more than I promised you at first."
Aud without waiting to listen to my
angry expostulation, she sailed away on his
arm. 1 Knew 1 had been rude, ana wanted
to apologize; and tried hard to catch her eve
as she swam round with the handsome
Captain, who could dance. But never once
were the long, dark lashes lifted, never once
did the old smile play across the sweet little
face.
I went home utterly wretched. Ah, how
the little paw could wound my big stupid
heart ! I lay awake nearly all night, and
during the long hours I made up my mind
to hasten, the very first thing in the morn
ing, to "make friends" with her. I should
tell her I was sorry I had been rude, but
should also make her understand that I con
sidered 1 had a good deal of cause to feel
injured.
"Clinton,'' she began very quietly the
moment she entered the room, "I am glad
you have come. There are some things I
innst say to you. I consider that the
way in which you have behaved
since our engagement has been most humil
iating to me."
"To you! I do not see what cause you
have to speak," I broke out.
"I am going to speak," her soft, even
voice went on. "I consider your unreason
able jealousy as nothing short ot an insult.
If you cannot trust me, you had better bid
me goodby. There can be no happiness iu a
marriage without absolute trust."
I hardly know what I said then, whether I J
picaaeo. or upDraiaca. J. reraemuer nine ot
what befell till I found myself striding
through the fields, their corn flowers blue
like those angry eyes, and their poppies
bright like her scornful red mouth.
Was it all at an end, then, the dream of
my life? Yes, of course it was over, all
over! I must get away, away back to the
sea and the wild strange lands; away, eome-v-here,
anywhere from all this. But my
poor old father! I could not leave him. I
must not leave my work; some of my cases
w ere in a critical condition. There was no
escape. Here I must stay; meet her con
stantly; shake hands with her; and yet be as
if the world stretched betweeu us. And the
dreadful part of it all was that she
seemed not to care one little bit. She was
the same bright, merry, dainty little creat
ure that she had always been. Why n as
she so cruel? "Why would she not look at
me with a glance of pity, love, remorse?
How gladly, at her smallest overture of
grace, would I have cast myself utterly on
her mercy, and vowed anything she chose
to demand of me. But she gave no sign;
and I was too proud to approacli her unless
she herself seemed to summon me.
"What a wretched time it was. How
fiercely week by week did I try to harden
mv heart acainst her! But everything con-
j spired to make that impossible. Hardly a
cottage did I enter out 1 heard ot her loving
kindness. She seemed to go about like
a sunbeam, smoothing coarse pillows,
comforting sad hearts, calling smiles" to
parched and fevered lips, and looks of love
to heavy tyes.
How "was it that she, who could be so ten ."
der to others, could so hurt the heart tha
loved her? How could she keep up our
quarrel all this time, when she must se .
how it was wounding me, killing(me? I
only she would say she was sorry she had
vexed me, I should not whisper a word of
blame. But say it she would not And
so the summer passed; autumn came with
its storms and decay; and yet we were no
nearer being friends again.
FART IL
Ye who have scorned each other,
Or injured friend or brother,
lu this last-fading year;
Ye who, by word or deed.
Have, made a kind heart bleed,
Come gather here.
Let sinned against and sinning
Forget their strile's beginning,
.And join in friendship now:
Be links nojlongcr broken,
Be sweet forgiveness spoken
Under the holly bough.
So the wretched months passed till mid
winter wai reached. And what a winter!
Long before Christmas the snow lay thicK
on the ground; and ray poor patients learned
full well the joys of a "real old-fashioned
winter." I had enough and more than
enough work to do; but I was thankful for
it. Only in helping and relieving the suf
ferings of others could I succeed in forget
ting my own pain. As the dull days dragged
themselves along, one of my favorite pa
tients began to fade away; and at length I
had to face the painful task of telling her
that, ere the new year came, she would have
to enter on the world of the unknown. She
was a decent woman, the wife of a dissipated
husband, for whom she had toiled till her
poor worn-out body could work no more.
And now she lay apparently dying in her
cold little room, thanking God each day
that none of her children
had been left to
struggle on without her.
"Except my poor big child," she said,
with that spark of pathetic humor oncsees
now and again among our rustics chiefly
among the women. "But I seerti to have
brought him up very badly, doctor. I must
iust hope he may be able to bring himself
home at last."
"Is there anyone vou would care to see,
Mrs. Clerk?" I asked her, late one bitter,
cold afternoon.
"Why do you ask, doctor? Is the end at
hand?"
"I can hardly say that. Yet, if there is
anyone I could send for to come to you, it
might be as well not to put it off."
A light gleamed over the tired, plain fea
tures. "Oh, doctor, if I could see the
little Lady, I think it would make it easier
for me. But " and the weary eyes wan
dered to the uncurtained window "it be
getting dark, and the snow lays thick on
the ground. Her couldn't come, now."
And she sighed that patient sigh that speaks
of a life of renunciation.
"Have you no relation, no sister, you
would care to see?" I asked.
"Ho, sir, no. I'd have liked to
see the dear Lady this very night.
I think if "she had sung
me tosloep , I'd have woke bettor. But it is
no use. She couldn't come out, a night liko
this."
"I'll fetch her in my sledge," I said.
The tired eyes opened with such a glad
light, that, had it been Queen Victoria I had
promised to snatch off her throne and bring
to this poor cottage. I should have had to
try to fulfil mv word.
"Will you, sir oh, will vou?',
"Yes."
And away over the snow I dashed, nor
paused to think till I drew up to the door of
the Manor.
"Is Lady Avis In?" I asked the footman,
and mado my way unannounced to the draw
ing room. The lamp was bnrring, subdued
by Its flower-like shade; the tea table was
drawn up near the fire; an d she, in one of her
soft, silken tea gowns, was standing wann
ing one perfectly shod little foot at the flame
of the blazing logs which roared up the
chimney and danced on tho steel prate.
Close to her sat a young fellow whom I had
never seen. I learned afterward that he was
a cousin, who, duiing the years I had been
away, had been like a brother to her; but I
did not know this then.
Did her face grow pale in the red light as
she saw me enter? It seemed so; yet she
came quietly forward and offeied me tea.
"No, thank you," I said as shortly as I
could; "thero is no time for tea. There is a
woman dying who wonts to see you."
All her face grew soft in a moment, "A
woman dving! Oh, where? What woman?"
"Mrs. Clorlcat the old Farm cottages. Will
yon come? The sledge is here. It will save
time if vou will come in it with me now."
"I will come."
"Nonsense,Avis,"cried the young man. "It
Is sheer nonsense to think of going out in
such an evening in an open sledge. Tho
broucrham can be brought round In 20 min
utes." "Are the horses roughed?" I asked.
"No," said Avis; "ana it would take a long
time to get them ready. I will go with you."
i"And I shall wait outside, as I don't sup
pose the footman relishes holding the horses
in the snow."
"I have no doubt he has sent for a groom,"
said Avis, her blue eyes turned coldly away.
"You had better drink some tea Harold
come witli me for a moment;"and she swept
trom the room, tho young man following.
Drink tea In the room where that fellow has
been! Never! I flung out of the room, and
hastened into the night air. A groom had
relieved John Thomas at the horses' heads:
I had the gratification of observing the
contemptuous looks with which he surveyed
my scratch team ahd make-shift sledge.
A courteous footman in tho hall asked
whether I would not step Into the library,
and threw the door invitingly open, display
ing the wainscoted room, on whose old oak
carvingandbrightly-bound volumes the fire
light danced deliciously. Holly and mistletoe
glinted and twinkled from all corners. It
was Christmas eve.
"No, no; I will wait here," I answered
curtly.
At this moment, her light foot-step
sounded on the stair; and her lady
ship herself tripped into tho lamp
light. And what a ladyship! She had
not even taken time to change her
dainty shoes: but her silken dress was cov
ered over with her great white mantle. On
her soft fair curls rested a little white fur
cap; and about her neck was bound a feath
ery boa like a glorified snow flake. Her
hands were hidden away in a snowy muff.
Haroldwas with her.
"Well, my snow-queen," he was saying,
"you will frighten the country folks it they
meet you like that. You look as if you were
playing at Queen Matilda escaping from Ox
ford Castle."
"Clever boy," laughed Avis, "to remember
his history so well."
"Meantime, history is repeating itself in
the most commonplace lashion in Mrs.
CIerk'9 cottage." I lemarked grimly. "Per
haps you had better not come. You look too
gorgeous for that poor room."
"Ami? I never thought. This was the
warmest, so I put it on," she began, her great
eyes full of distress.
"It's all right, dear," cried Ilarold, "you
know they love you when you look beauti
lul." "They must alwavs love her, then," I
thought within my bitter heart.
In another moment I was seated beside
her; the horses' heads were let go: the bells
jangled out; aud the sledge slid over
tho snow. It was a glorious night.
Above us stretched the sapphire
sky, gemmed with myriads of
flashing stars; while all around us was
silence and the gleaming snow. All the well
known landscape was rendered strange and
unfamiliar under its pure covering as a
dear, dead face is rendered awesome under
the thin sheet we spiead after death.
The bcllsjangled; tho horses' hoofs clinked
against each other now and again as the
sledge sped on; but all else was filent. Xot
a word did we speak. I caught a glimpse of
her face once as she turned it to watch a
great whito owl slowly glide oerour heads.
How white and still the beautiful lace - as!
Was there a tremble about the mouth?
On we sped. When we had started, my
heart had been ablaze with hot anger. Whb
was this youth who had u-urped mv
place? "Why had I been cast out of
my place? Why had we quanelled?
Wliy hud we not made it up again?
It was all her fault all. I had been ready to
make friends, yearning tor the old com
panionship, breaking my heart for her cruel
sake; ana she had never cared in tho least.
Cared! Sho had been filling up her time and
thoughts witli this young Herbert Harold
whatever his name might be, and probably
a dozen more. She was a mere flirt. In her
lieait sho still despised me for being a
doctor "only a sawbono," as she ned to
say. She waR the daughter of the Lord of
the Manor: I well, I was as good as she. I
was a man with a man's heart, head, lianas.
She had no right to play with mc. Had sho
played with me?
At that moment I caught tho pure profile
nsrainst the lamplight. She had leaned sud
denly forward, and was gazing away with a
strange, far-away look in her eyes. She
worthless! She a flirt! How pure and cold
she looked! pure like the snow; yes, and
cold like tho snow. Ah no, not cold.
With those deep dark eyes, those
sensitive nostrils, that exquisite mouth. And
yet why not? It is ever ttie most beautiful
women who are most cruel.
And so w ent on tho foolish, proud, unrea
soning thoughts within my Drain, while my
heart grow wanner in its love for her at
every stride the horso took. How could I
help loving her with her dear presence so
near me. her garments touching me. her
breath rising like incense to heaven through
the clear ail?
Oh, what a long drive! What a sad sore
heart! I lelt as if I could bcarit no longer
when the welcome cottage came in sight.
Silently wo drove up to tho door.
"ir you will go in, I will drive on, and
leave "some medicine for another pationt,
and come back for you," I said, breaking tho
silence for the first time.
Without a word, she left me. j
I drove on about a mile further, and then
returned slowly through the still night. Mrs.
Clerk's dwelliug had once been a fine old
farmhouse in the days when farmers
were opulent and liked their rooms to
be roomy. It had "come down" in tho
world, however; and wns now divided
off .among several families of laborers.,
But outwardly it was still beantiful to the
eye From where I sat alone in the sledge, I
looked througti an archway of dark yews
toward the old rambling building with its
low eaves and mullloncd windows. The
steep tiled roof was corered.with the gleam-
rig snow: the tall irregular chimney stacks
rose black against the deep-bine sky; and
from one uncurtained window the ruddy
light shone out upon the snow-clad lawn.
How still it was! Was the whole world dead?
The bells on tho horses heads sounded pain
fully loud as tho animals moved- restlessly
from time to time. I felt vasruely that I
ought to walk them up and down, but the
spirit of stillness seemed to have got the
better of all my senses. I could not move.
About was tho still, silent sky: around, the
still, silent world: and in my heart a strange
sensation of unfeelingness. The world
wns dead. I was dead; everything
was dead. Nothing mattered any
more. I felt nothing, nothing. Why
trouble whether sho loved me or not. It
would all be the same when I w as dead. My
heart was dead now. The spirit of stillness
had wrapped the world in its cold embrace,
and my soul was at rest within its arms. I
dia Hot mind the delay; I did not feel Impa
tient for her return: only, I wished the
horses would stand still aud the bells not
jangle so.
Then, all at once, through the silence stole
a beautiful sound, falling like golden snow
from somewhere above me. A woman's
voice! Singing softly, tenderly, gloriously!
I held my breath to listen. No
words reached mo only the sweet,
clear notes; and even they seemed
to come from the voice of a singer in a
dream. The voice ceased. A little wind up
rose and swayed the trees, as if protesting
against the cessation of tho wonderful mu
sicthen suddenly there came to me over
the snow the sound of bells.
The time draws near the birth of Christ;
The moon is hid. the night la still:
And Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other through the inUt.
Peace and good-will, goodwill and peace.
Peace and good-will to all mankind.
The door opened gently closed: and, to
the music of the bells, a white figure moved
toward mo through the whiteness. Under
tho arch of black yews she stepped. Did she
do it on purpose? Did she know that the
light of the carriage lamp fell full upon her?
Did she dieamhow beautiful sho was with
tho spirit of her song still on her lips: with
the light of her tender action still in her
eyes? She stopped and listened. How sweet
ly, ghostly, sounded those far-off bells, those
strange dream-bells. Not a sound, but their
thin beauty dying and growing and dying
again! And there she stood and listened
"with the wonder growing in her face."
"Peace and good will peace;" and then
she looked at me, and camcquickly forward
next moment she was beside mo in tho
sledge.
"Sho is asleep," she whispored. "I think
sho will get well."
"Then let us get home," I answered; and
that was all.
Jangle, jangle, jangle, went the sleigh
bolls, and once moie we moved through the
silent world. But we went slowly on. Why?
Was it because of the surrounding stillness,
which one feared to disturb? Or was it be
cause my whole soul was filled and
thrilled with the knowledge of hernearne-s.
with the knowledire that here were she and I
alone in this sleeping this dead woild: the
only living creatures in this great silence?
Slower and slower went the horses; and
yet the road seemed to melt before us; and
ever neai er came "home" and parting. But
yet we did not speak. The sweet precious
moments slipped by; and once more my
heart camo alive, and beat and throbbed and
suffered. I longed to throw myself down in
tho snow before her and humble myself
utterly, if only, by my doing so, we might be
again as once we naa Deen. uut sun l couiu
not do it. Sho had been wrong too. She
must meet me half-way. Oh! she must feel
it. Why would she not confess it? Could
she not see how much braver, nobler,
worthier of herself it would be than this in
different unconcern, this obstinate silence?
"I've dropped my muff," tho clear voice
suddenly said quietly.
I started as if I had been shot, and came
back from my world of thought togazo with
uncomprehending eyes on the sweet face at
my side. How sweet it was, how calm, how
contented ! Why was it not full of shame
and contrition? It ought to have been: but
no, not u bit ot it ! Thetilue eyes were look
ing up at me with the utmost friendliness;
the rosy mouth had a smile on it.
"Please," she cried "please stop the
horses. I've dropped my muff."
I stopped tho horses.
"Will you please get out and find it for
me?" went on tho purring voice, "I will
hold the horses."
"I may not be able to find it in the dark,"
said I, "it is white like the snow."
"It's w niter," she answered, still smiling.
I got out and strode along the way that
we had come. My heart was vexed within
mo; for I knew she had dropped that
wretched muff on purpose that she might
ordor mo to go back and fetch it.
At that moment my foot touched some
thing soft. Tho little white muff! I picked
it up: and something dropped out. I stooped
and lifted it from the snow. A glove! Such a
little glove! Not thinking what I did.I spread
it out ou my broad paliu and laughed a bit
ter laugh as words that I had read some
where came to my mind, "That hand withal
looketh somewhat soft and small for so
largo a will in sooth."
I walked back to the sledge. The lamps
were shining with two golden eyes over tho
snow: tho horses' bells were jangling: but
tho little white lady was sitting very still. I
came to her sido of carriage. What a great
fellow I seemed! for, standing there on the
load, my head wns on a level with hers as
she sat in the slcdsre.
I held out the muff. Sho did not take it.
Her face was turned away. Was she crying?
Was that why sho kept her face hidden?
Was she ashamed at last? This was well,
ah! this was well. I was glad she had como
to see the error of her ways. She had taken
a long time about it, certainly: but still I
would, be generous; I would pardon her at
once.
I still held the muff out. "Avis, this is
your property."
"Which!" and a face, not bathed in tears,
not blushing with shame, but sparkling and
dimpling with laughter, was turned to mine.
"Which?" she repeated, looking at me with
a world of mischief shining in her eyes.
"This," I said severely but my hand
shook.
"Oh! is that all?" sho said, taking the white
fluffy thing in one hand very slowly and
looking in my eyes all tho time: while gradu
ally a warm littlo bare hand stole out from
under the wraps. "I thought )on meant
this" and the warm littlo hand was about
mv neck.
For one wild moment I tried to remember
my anger: but the shining eyes weie still
smiling into mine: and the next moment the
laughing month was warm on my lips.
Ah! well, who could have resisted it? In
nn instant my arms were about her, and I
was saaining her to my heart.
How could two young people who loved
each other have been so foolish? CJtamber's

A DIVORCE JUDGE DENOUNCED.
Serious Charges Itronght by Divines Against
a Dakota Jurist.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 1. Special Min
isters of South Dakota have begun a bitter
war against Judge Frank. Aikens, tho
famous divorce judge of tho West.
Yesterday tho pastors of tho city
addressed a communication to the
Judge. This move was tho result of a dis
cussion concerning tho rumors affecting the
private life of the jurist. There were
present at the meeting Bishop Ilare,
or the Episcopal Church of the
State; Key. Messrs. Ilanscom, of the
Jtethodist; Fuller, of the Baptist: Crusean,
of tho Congiegational: Grant, of tho Uni
tarian; Skillman, or the Reformed; Wallace,
of tho Episcopal, and Hutchinson, of the
Presbyterian. There were also there laymen
from each congregation.
The charges weie that Judge Aikens, a
month or so ago, while In Sioux Falls, stop
ping nt the Cataract House, becamo intoxi
cated, and seized the maid of Baroness da
Stuers. The maid screamed, biinging out a
number of guests, who locked tho Judge in
a room. As soon as the landlord wns made
aware of the circumstance tho Judge
was ejectcu nom tnu noiei. iiar
ones de Stuers has now an applica
tion for a decree of divorce before
Judge Aikens, the trial having bpen set for
the last week in January. The second
rumor, the divine stated, was that three
weeks ago tho Judge, in company with two
divorce clients, became intoxicated and cn
tei cda "hole in the wall" which he had issued
an order to havo closed. Other ministers
recited stories of the antics of the Judge.
Then a letter was written to him requesting
him to resign. Judge Aikens will take no
notice of the communication.

SCIENTIFIC ODDITIES.
China Will Embark in the Manufac
ture of Bessemer Steel.
IRON MAKING IX SOUTH AMERICA.
Electricity Plays an Important Tart in
Medical Treatment.
CHIPS FKOM TUB WORLD'S LABORATORY
A large steel producing plant for the
Celestial empire is at the present moment
ou its way to China, after being constructed
at the Tees Side Iron and Engine Works
Company, Limited, of Jliddlesborongh, It
is a complete Bessemer plant, including
two five-ton converters, with cupolas, to
gether with blowing engines, cranes and
other pieces of machinery. There is like
wise the entire machinery for a large rail
mill, as well as for a plate aud bar mill,
together with about 20 puddling furnaces.
Two large blast furnaces of the Cleveland
type, capable of producing 100 tons of pig
iron daily, with all the necessary ap
pliances, are in course of construction on
the slope of the Hamyang Hills, opposite
the city of Hankow.
A foreign technical staff has been secured,
and in the course of a few months it is an
ticipated that there will be produced in
China plates and bars, steel rails, soft steel
for ship plates, special metal lor small arms,
and other classes of steel and iron. Cer
tainly this may fairly be termed "one more
instance of the slow but sure progress of
the intelligent Mongolian to bring the latest
scientific improvements to bear upon the
varied industries of that immense empire."
The works will cover some 20 acres, and the
execution of the whole undertaking in all
its details has been iutrusted to the above
named Middlesborough firm. An order for
2,000 tons of rails and sleepers was obtained
in England some time back, and this is now
stated to have been lately increased to 12,
000 tons.
Iron Manufacture in Brazil.
A bulletin issued by the Bureau of Amer
ican Kepublics states that the State of M,inas
Geraes, in Brazil, abounds with iron ore. It
is not found in veins or strata, buried deep
in the earth, but in enormous beds, often
lying at the surface, or in mountain masses.
These vast deposits are worked only by
small scattered furnaces, charcoal being
used in the reduction of the ore. Of these
small furnaces there are five groups, pro
ducing about 3.000 tons annually, the pro
duct being used in the surrounding dis
tricts in the manufacture of article of home
consumption, such as hoes, shovels, picks,
drills, nails, horseshoes, etc
In the State of Sao Paulo are found de
posits similar to the best Norwegian ore,
and one of the mines is worked by the Gov
ernment establishment, near the village of
Sorocaba. This establishment has two fur
naces, and produced in 1887 790 tons of pig
iron. The ore has about 67 per cent of iron.
In Santa, Catharina, not far from a harbor
which is accessible to the largest vessels,
are vast deposits of hematite, containing 30
per cent of manganese and 25 to 30 per cent
of iron.
Electricity Used by Medical Men.
Electricity is one of the most powerful
agents affecting the human body, and yet
our knowledge of it, both professional and
lay, is very vague. Large numbers of peo
ple actually content themselves with tying
the battery round their waist, and allowing
the current to run in the battery itself,
their bodies forming no part of the circuit.
This is done in some of the galvanic belts.
One might just as well tie the electrodes or
poles together round the bedpost, and save
he discomfort of carrying this apparatus.
Others carry magnets in their pockets, or
in bags somewhere on their bodies, the
electric current circulating in or round the
poles of the magnets, and not in the bodies
of the wearer or, at most, the magnetic
field affecting only a superficial area of skin.
But, in spite of all this inaccuracy and hap
hazard application, we shall one day get
orderly and scientific in our knowledge of
medical electricity, as our medical elec
tricians of to-day are men who are appointed
as electricians on the staffs of our hospitals,
or who give special study to the subject in
their daily work not men who are simply
the agents of battery manufacturers.
A Bleb bnt Unapproachable Country.
There are said to be five counties in Mis
souri and eleven in Arkansas, comprising a
strip of country 125 miles square, that have
no railroad communication with the outside
world, and are yet wonderfully rich in zinc
ore. This section of the country lies south
and west of the Memphis Railroad, north
and west of the Iron Mountain, south and
east ot the St. Louis and San Francisco,
and north of the Arkansas river. The zinc
carbonates of this region yield 83 per cent
and the "jack" GO per cent of pure zinc
ore.
A traveler, Mr. "V. E. "Winner, of Kan
sas City, says that he found in the mountain
a cave "even larger than the Mammoth Cave.
The manner of life of the people is ex
tremely primitive. They live in loghouses
without windows. Bacon is their main sta
ple of diet, and tobacco their only solace,
for saloons are unknown. They seldom
work as long as they have food and tobacco
in the house. But they are virtuoux, peace
able and kindly disposed to the stranger.
Uso of Explosives in Mines.
It has often been complained that the use
of modern explosives in mines leads to the
production of such poisonous fumes that a
grave danger to the workmen is thus in
curred. A short time ago a committee was
appointed by the Durham Coal Owners'
Association, consisting of representatives
of both masters and men, to consider this
important question. Careful experiments
having been made, the committee came to
the conclusion that the fumes produced are
not more dangerous than those from gun
powder; that carbon monoxide the irres
pirable gas which is produced by the com
bustion of charcoal, and which has led to so
many deaths is present only in traces; that
an interval of five minutes should be al
lowed to elapse before the men re-enter the
gallery in which the charge has been fired;
and that as they find a portion of the dele
terious gases are due to the fuse employed,
the charges should be invariably fired by
electricity.
Carp for Destroying Mosqaltoss.
A correspondent of Kalure describes a
method for the destruction of mosquitoes
which wc believe is not commonly kuown;
and he tells us of an English resident on
the Itiviera who had freed his property
from this pest. Fresh wateron the Kiviera,
as many of our readers well know, is scarce,
and therefore it is treasured accordingly.
The inhabitants store it for use in tanks and
other receptacles. Now, the larvx of the
mosquito, ii is asserted, can live only in
fresh water, and the carp happens to be a
iish which is particularly foud of that larva;
as an article of diet. The gentleman re
ferred to exterminated the insects by the
simple device of placing a pair of carp in
each tank attached to his premises. "We feci
certain that there are many places abroad
wbcre the conditions are similar and where
this experiment might be tried with advan
tage. Calculating the Distance Trareled.
It is often desirable to relieve the tedium
of travel by rail by testing the speed at
which the train is running along, and many
persons amuse themselves by timing this
speed by noting, watch in hand, the time at
which the various mile .posts are passed.
There is a rule, however, which gives ap
proximately correct results, which any one
may practice without reference to a time
keeper. The rails average about 30 feet in
length; and the number passed over in 20
seconds equals, roughly, the number of
miles per hour at which the train is travel
ing. Unless the train is running at a very
high speed, say over CO miles per hour,
there is no difficulty in counting the num
ber of rails passed over, as there .is a dis
tinct click a the joint between each pair of
rails is covered by the wheeL
Recipe for Slaking Ivory.
. Natural ivory is composed of tribasie
phosphate of lime, magnesia, alumina,
gelatine, albumen and calcium carbonate.
Many attempts have been made to make an
artificial substitute, but until recently they
have proved unsuccessful. The process is,
briefly, to treat quicklime with sufficient
water to convert it to a hydrate, adding to it,
however, just before it becomes completely
hydrated, an aqueous solution of phosporic
acid, and while thoroughly stirring incor
porating small quantities" of calcium car
bonate, magnesia and alumina, and finally
the gelatine and albumen dissolved in
water.
Thus is obtained a plastic, intimately
mixed mass, which is set aside to allow com
pletion of the action of the phosphoric acid
upon the chalk. A day later, while the
mixture is still plastic, it is pressed into the
desired form and dried in a current of air
about 150 C, and after being kept for
three or four weeks becomes perfectly hard.
The proportions, which can be colored by
the addition of suitable substances, are
quicklime, 100 parts; water, 300 parts; phos
phoric acid solution (1.05 specific gravity),
75 parts; calcium carbonate, 10 parts; mag
nesia, 1 to 2 parts; alumina precipitated, 5
parts; gelatine, 15 parts.
Wood Fibre Csed tor Bath Tubs.
"Wood fibre or pulp is now employed in
the manufacture of bath-tubs, the material
being-subjected to powerful hydraulic pres
sure. The pores are filled with a harden
ing material and subjected to a high heat to
make the tub impervious to water. As the
articles so made are- in one piece there are
no joints or cracks in which dirt can col
lect. Owing to the fact that wood is a non
conductor of heat and cold, tubs made. of
this material possess some advantages over
those made of metal.
Prodnction of Steel Bails.
The production of steel rails this year
will amount to 1,000,000 or 1,100,000 tons.
The output was considerably cut down dur
ing the summer by a strike of the coke
workers. Judging from the present pros
pect, 1892 will show a large gain over 1891
in rail production; it is estimated that at
least 500,000 tons more Bessemer iron will
go into rails next year than during the
present year. "We see no reason why the
iron and steel makers of this country may
not breathe more more freely and look for
ward to a largely expanded market and
better prices for their products.
Kolndeer Hals in I.lfe Belts.
A new life belt, lately invented at Stet
tin, is composed of reindeer hair, confined
in at canvas covering. It is in the ordinary
shape of a life belt, but is very much lighter
than those of cork, weighing only two
pounds, and will support 22 pounds of iron
in the water. Beiudeer hair is hollow, and
contains air, being also imperviovs to
water.
Thus the life belt may be immersed for
any length of time, but is still as buoyant
as when put in. The hair, being extremely
soft, may be used for ship's mattresses or
the seats of chaiis, sofas, etc; also coats,
waistcoats or traveling rugs may be formed
from it. The inventor obtains the hair
from the tanners at Leipsic", to which place
the largest number of reindeer skins are
exported from Xorway, Sweden and Fin
land. HTJMOK by tho jrrent master of It, Bob
