He was tOo. handsome. His_ face was

that Winnie Was preludiced against him,,
She did .not- believe Mr. Florian exactly.

. • He had bi•ought Bess a set of dominoes,
:and that tirSt,evening taught her how to

were assembled in the great sitting-room'

over the host of happy faces: Winnie sat
upon a cricket on the warm hearth, 'with

table. There were a host'or other little
heads around—Narinie„ and Lu, and Kiss
were all'eager to find the meaning of fhe

how kindly tolerant' Mr. Florian. was of
,their multitnde of questions,. and little,
meddling fingers, and how Bess, with her
flashing fade Understood his explanations . .
How suggestive the sympathy and confi- .
.deuce between him and... the handsome
child! . Winnie thought if she was able to
write' stories she could'plan a fineromance
from the sight of those two faces. ;How
handsome.he was! She didn't like him,

Mr. FlOrian was drawing
,to match a
three .or blank ; and Bessl was laughing
at his,; pont.. success. Ile did not appear
to be hee4inganything but, his game, and
the subjea was dropped. That eVening
passed, and two more days and evenings.
Mr. FlCrian had been inclined tt . i ctilti

it ;for seeking hersoeiety-for its own sake,
or for. his Sake, or for any reason only to
give her an opportunity of knowing
that she relight admire him as did the rest.
In tr,ntli, Winnie had taken 'a very unrea
sonable antipathy to Mr. Florian._ By,
way of eiplanation Teem only offer the
suggestive fact that she was'a woman.
•-. Thanksgiving came—the• great dinner
was eaten'—and the neat morning Winuie
went hone. _ .
Christnias drew - near. Winnie receiv-.

saying that she- must come and spend

going tel•bavea Christmas - tree, aud.Cele

Again Winuie Waldron was at her ma.'

had pulled off her ivrapping6 and kissed
her breathless,' and admired, her ( new son-

to see a,little company of friends=among
them Mr.lFlorian. She returned his greet,
•ing so coolly that Percy told her- after. :
wards that . he - Was proud of her.. He was
glad there :was one girl who wasn't in
love with Flori Sn. This commeridatien
Winnie received in ailtsce.
r She' had arrived - , cif the clay before
VbriatmaS.. That evening was a merry
one., The tree, with its myriads of tiny

"Oh; dear, Mr. Florian," tried Bess,
" it - dbesn't look like you I"
"'Doesn't it?" replied Mr. Florian oleas

"N o. I don't like it half as well as--I

Why, Bess Pr said her mother.
‘J'd make you another present'if I was

You shall have another one, Bess,"
maid Mr. Florian. -" Your royal highness
Shall be suited; my queen." •
°- -- ,Qlleen Bess. was his name for the child.
"Then - who wants this?" she ,cried,
holding aloft the picture.: -
11 wanted it. -Winnie Waldron put
out her hand. • 7
" Give it tome, Bess," she Said: •
Bess gave it to her. Winnie glanced
alit,' then looked up at Mr, FlOrian;wiio
Was regarding her attentively.
"I don't want it,b.ecauseLcare for the

and Will look

-The people around laughed. • Mr. Fitir
le.iinodded gaily, bnt as, he turned away,
vowed a vow.. And Winnie retained the
picture.
Winnie had intended to gpend only two
days at Barford, but the family - insisted
that she 'should stay- until after New
:Year's - day, for they Were to have an. eve
ulna.. So- Winnie settled- down for a
.week at the comfortable old country
house of the Bnilonshaws, wishing her

Winnie was very silent.
New. Year's day came. Winnie . kissed
, back kisses and wished back wishes, Until
she was actually tired. She had her gifti
to give and her gifts to receive; and after
ter the: highest exhuberance of spirits
among the young tblks. had worked-off,
the family sat down to a late breakfast.
After breakfast Bess came and begged.
Winnie to +ride with her. • The •dav'was
clear and cold—the-roads frozen. hard, for
a rain had worn oft the snow.
" should like: nothing so well!" said
Winnie, and flew up stairs for a habit..
There were three horses at the door
when Whinie came down:
"Who rides with tis, Bess ?" she asked.
"Mr. Florian. Didn't.yo4 know that
- .
be was here ?"
"No," said Winnie Waldron., very-'de
cidedly.

"He always rides with me when he
- can," said Bess, vaulting into the saddle;
She rode like a t ounirlndian...`Mr. Flori
an Nvas - trying to teach her to ride. like.-..a
lady.
He - came out - ati. the moment. There
was no drawing back then, and Winnie
allowed him to. put her np.- - He sprang

the bridle of tkoprostrato inare,trid

the frozen ground.

She put back, the rich, fair hair, and
peered into his face. It was still; and.
cold, and:pale. as marble. She could not
see him breathe—she .could not feel his

corpse. •
-"Bess, ride home and - tell them," she
said, faintly. . •

:The child -was gonO in a flash. Winnie
was alone on the desolate - road,• with the

upon it rendered it doubly beautiful. She

. Some months.ago -a brief nO f tice was.
given of an ittinerican nanaed Frederick
Ward, whO, by his,daring, added to a
stroke of good luck, had tanked - himself
high in the list of Chinese Mandarins.
A Sliangliae letter in the New York
Herald gives a fultand intetestbil account
of his 'character, and of themean through
which he obtained his dignity a d his for
-1
tune—estimated to be imuletisel large—
from which we take a few extracts :
• Two or three years ago the- Mate of a
.coasting vessel came to Shanghae. He
wavneither better nor worse than mates
usually are. He was a grOn boyish look
ing tellow with a fair skini and long black
hair which fell in glossy{' waves to his
'shoulders. 1
'shoulders.'
"There
.
"There was no great pee ) illiarity
_about ,
him, except that his eye showed a Vigor-
ouseconstitution and a, most ,iadcinitable
pluck.: He was Pretty /1.344 41 s!nd was.
unknown.. He appeared? hardly old e
nough to have been much of aniadventur
et, yet his life had been ajromanCe from
the first. He had been with Walker .in
his earlier expeditions, and had had a taste
of civil War f are in 'the Shuthl.American
States. But it was not in the petty strug
gles of such marauders alone that he bad
been. schooled. He had been in the Cri
mea during the terrible ?war Which was
enactathers., He had seen all 'the world
in fact: He hadoccupied almost every
position in the social scale, and' at last
same to Shanghae the mate of a -coasting
vessel, sound in health; and the owner. of
a great deal more brains than the people
gay.O him credit for. His name on the
ship's articles was then plain 'Frederick
Ward. - - 1 -
Soon after his arrival, the city, of Shang-,
'hae being threatened and pinched by .the
native rebels; neither the' imperialists nor
their allies; the English,, Icould defend it.
In this strait Admiral Hope,. N., pro
posed and perfected with bin a plan by
11,
which - Mr. Ward might Strike a blow at
the rebel headquarters at'Soonliong, a ve-'
ry well fortified city on the WOosung riv
er. Ward 'organized a band of eight Ma
nilla men; ran up the rivet, took the place
by storm, for which serv,icel, was paiC
the sum of forty, thousand sils er tads.—
His blood was up, and, he, wanted to take
another city, some thirty miles beyond
Soonkong, where the rebels had retired
and entrenched themselves more strongly
than before. - The Toutieh chinned him
