. A certain March night of this pres-.
nt 'waning age" had settled down
upon the woods and the park and the
parapets of Ambrose Towers. The:
Jmrsh stable clock struck a quarter to.
ten. Thereupon a girl in light evening
attire and wraps came through the en
trance hall, opened the front door and
the small wrought-iron gate beyond it'
which led to the terrace, and stepped
into the moonlight. Such a person,'
such a night and such a place were un
exceptionable materials for a scene in
,that pdetical drama of two which the
iWorld has often beheld; which leads up
Ho a contract that causes a slight sink
ing in; the poetry, and a perceptible
lack of interest in the pluy.
I She moved so quietly that the alert
fbirds resting in the great cedar tree
tnever stirred. Flitting across its funer
eal shadow over many yards of turf, as
tfar as to the Grand Walk, whose peb
Ibles shone like the floor-stones of the
(Apocalyptic city, she paused and looked
back at the old brick walls-red in the
daytime,' sable now at the shrouded
gliUllions, the silhouette of the tower,

though' listening rather than seeing
ttecmcd her object in eomiug to the
pause. The clammy wings of e. bat
lirushed past her face, startling her and
making her shiver a little. The stamp
ing of one or two horses in their stalls
surprised her by its distinctness and
isolation. The servants' offices were on
She other side of the house, and the
ady who, with the exception of the
girl on the terrace, was its sole occu
pant, was resting on a sofa behind one
of the curtained windows. So Kosalys
jwent on her way unseen, trod the mar
gin of the lake, and plunged into the'
distant shrubberies.
; The clock Lad reached ten. As the
llast stroke of the hour rang out a
young man scrambled down the sunk
Ifence bordering the pleasure-ground,
leaped the iron railing within, and
joined the girl who stood awaitiughim.
(in the half light he could not sec how
Iher full underlip trembled or the fire
(of joy that kindled in her eyes. Hut per
haps he guessed from daylight ex
Iperiences, since he passed his arm
jround her shoulders with assurance
,auii kissed her ready mouth many
times. Eer head still resting against
pis arms, they walked towards a bench,
the rough outlines of which weri
touched at one end only by the moon'e
rays,. 'At -the dark end the pair sal
'down.
"I cannot" come again," said the
new. TOiat has happened? I thought
lyou said your mother supposed you to
be working at your Hurmony, and
would never imagine our meeting
there?" The voice sounded just a trifle
hard for a lover's.
"No, she would not. And I still &&
test deceiving her. I would do it for
no one but you, Jim. But what I meant
was this: I feel that it can all lead to
notning. Mother is not a bit more
worldly than most people, but she nat
urally does not want her only child tc
marry a man who has nothing but the
I pay of an officer in the lino to live
i upon. At her death (you know she ha?
only a life interest here) I should have
Ito go away - unless ray uncle, who suc
ceeds, chooses to take me to stay with
Ihiin. I have no fortuno of 'my own be
Irond a mere pittance. Two hundred a

Jim's reply was something like a
jsneer at the absent lady: "You may as
'well add to the practical objection the
(sentimental one, that she wouldn't al
low you to change your fino old crusted
(name for mine, which is merely tho
iolder one of the little freeholder turned
out of this spot bytyour ancestor when
the came."
"Dear, dear Jim, don't say thoso hor-'
irid things! As if I had ever even
thought of that for a moment!"
He shook her hand off impatiently
una walked out into the moonlight.
Certainly as far as physical outline
went he might have been the direct
product of a line of Paladins or hertul
jitary Crusaders. He was tall, straight
of limb, with an aquiline nose, and a
(mouth fitfully scornful. Kosalys But
almost motionless watching him.

ness of ls influence, upon the lower
Jand weaker side of her nature. It
gratified him as a man to feel it; and
though she was beautiful enough to
satisfy the senses of the critical, there
'was perhaps something of contempt in
terwoven with his love. His victory
,had been too easy, too complete.
' '"Dear Jim, you are not going to be
vexed? It really isn't my fault that I
icun't come out here again! Mother will
"be downstairs to-morrow, and then she
.might take it into her her.d to look at
any time into .the schoolroom and see
how the Harmony gets ou.'r
'. "And you are going off to London
soon?" said Jim, still speaking gloomily.
"I am afraid so. But couldn't you
come there too? I know your leave is
not up for a great many weeks?" '
i He was silent for longer than she had
ever known him at these times. Ro
salys left her seat on tho bench and
threw her arms impulsively round him.
l-I can't go away unless you will
come to London when we do, Jim!"
"I will; but on one condition." ,
' ''What condition! You. frighten mo,Cj
OOIXd TO BK VEXED."
"That yon will marry nie when I do
join you there."
The quick breath that heaved in
Kosalys ebbed silently, and she held
on to the rustic bench with one hand,
a' trembling being apparent in her gar
ments. "You really mean it. Jim, darling?"
Ho swore that he did; that life was
quite unendurable to him as he then
experienced it. When she was once
his wife nothing would come between
them; but of courso the marriage need
not be known for a time indeed must
not He could not take her abroad.
The climate of Hurmah would be too
trying for her; and, besides, they real
ly would not have enough to live upon.
"Couldn't we get on as other people
'do'.'"' said Rosulys, trying not to cry at
these arguments. "I am so tired of
concealment, and I don't like to marry,
privately! It seems to me, much as I
love being with you, that there is a
sort of well vulgarity in our clandes
tine meetings, as we now enjoy them.
Therefore, how should I ever have,
strength enough to hide the fact of my
being your, wife, to face my mother
day after day with tho shadow of this
secret between us?"
For all answer J im kissed her, and
stroked her silky brown curls.
"I suppose I shall end in agreeing
with you I always do!"' she said, her
mouth quivering. "Though I can'
bo very dogged and obstinate, too,
Jim! 3o you know that ull my gov;
ernesses have said I was the most stub
Tjorn child they ever came across? Hut
then, in that case, my temper must be
ircally aroused. You have never seen
me as I am when angry. Terhaps,
Jim, you would get to hate me." .
. She looked at him wistfully with wet
eyes.
,' "I shall never cease to love you des
perately as I do now!" declared the
young man. "How lovely you look,
littles Kosalys, with that one moon
beam making your forehead like pure
white marble. But time is passing.
You must go back, my darling, I'm'
afraid. And you won't fail me in Lon
don? I shall niako all the plans. Good
by good-by!"
One clinging, intermittent kiss, and
then from the shadow in which he
stood Jim watched her light figure
passing the lake, and hurrying along
in the shelter of tho yew hedges to
wards the great house, asleep under
reaching deeps of sky and tho vacant
haze of the round white moon.
CHAPTER II.
When clouds are iron-gray above the
prim drab houses, and a hard cost wind
blows flakes of dust, stable straws,
scraps of soiled newspaper and sharp
pieces of grit into tho eyes of foot pas
sengers, a less inviting and romantic
dwelling spot than Eaton place can
hardly be experienced.
But the prince's daughter of the Can
ticles, emerging from her palace to
see the vino flourish and tho poine
. granates bud forth with her beloved,
could not have looked more uncon
scious of crime than Knsalys Ambrose,
as kho came down the steps of one
of the tall houses of the aforesaid
highly respectable pluee of residence.
Her cheeks were hotly pink, her
eyes shining, , her lips parted: Hay-
iug once uiude ' up her mind,
"qualms of prudence, pride ' and
pelt" had died withiu her passionate
little heart. After to-day she would
belong absolutely to Jim,, be, his .alone,
through all the eternities, as it seemed;
and of what account was anything
else in the. world? The entirely phys
ical character of his affection for her,
AFTER TO-DAY SHE WOULD BELONG TO
' - JTM. j ' .--
and perhaps of hers for him, was an
unconjectured element herein which
might not render less transitory the
most transitory of sweet tilings. Thus
hopefully she stepped out of the com
monplace home that would, in one
sense, be hers no more.
The raw wind whistled up the street,
and deepened tho color on her face.
She was plainly dressed in gray, and
wore a rather thick veil, natural to the
dusty day; it could not, however, con
ceal the sparkle of her eyes; veils,
even thick ones, happily, never do.
Hailing a hansom, she told the driver
to take her to the corner of the Em
bankment. In the midst of her preoccupation
she noticed as the cab turned the cor
ner o"t of Eaton place that the bony
chestnut horso went lame. Rosalys
was superstitious as well as tender
hearted, and she deemed that some
stroke of ill-luck might befall if she
drove to be married behind a suffering
animal. She alighted and paid off the
man, and in her excitement gave him
three times his fare. Hurrying for
ward on foot she heard, her name
called, and received a cordial greeting
from a tall man with gray whiskers, in
whom she recognized Mr. Durrant,
Jim's father. It occurred to her for a
second that he might have discovered
the plot ond have lain in wait to pre
vent it. However, he spoke in his
usual half-respectful, half-friendly
tones, not noticing her frightened
face. Mr. Durrant was a busy man.
Besides holding several very important
land agencies in the county where
Kosalys lived, he had business in the
city to transact at times. He ex
plained to Miss Ambrose that some
urgent affairs he was supervising for a
client of his, Lord Parkhurst, had now
brought him up to London for a few
weeks.
"Lord Parkhurst is away?" she
asked," to say something. "I hear of
him sometimes through his uncle, Col.
Lacy."
"Yes. A thorough sailor. Mostly
afloat," Mr. Durrant replied. "Well
we're rather out of the way in For
chester terrace. Otherwise my wife
would be so pleased if you would come
to tea, Miss Ambrose? My son Jim,
lazy young beggar, is up here now, too
going to plays and parties. Well,
well, it's natural lie should like to
amuse himself before he leaves for
Burmah, poor boy. Are you looking
for a hansom? Yes? Hi!" and he
waved his stick.
"Thank you so much," said Miss Am
brose. "And I will tell mamma Where
you and Mrs. Durrant are staying."
She was surprised at her own com
posure. Her unconscious father-in-law
elect helped her into tho cab,
took off his hat, and walked rapidly
away. Rosalys felt her heart stand
still when she drew up at tho place of
meeting. She saw Jim, very blooming
end very well dressed, awaiting her,
outwardly caira, as any
jumped into her vehicle

ORIGIN OF Till- INCOME TAX.
Some Interesting History Concerning the
Tax on Thrift. I
The origin of the income tax is inter
esting. In England In i;i"7 u "tax un
heard of before" was imposed by par
liament, which took the form of u poll
tax, graduated chlelly according to
rank, though partly uccording to prop
erty. Dukes hud to pay i'ti l!is. dd.;
eurls, 4; barouu, :'; knights, 1; squires,
6s. 8d., or, If they had no land, 3s; 4d.
lieggars were exempt. The lord muyor
of London wus rated as an earl, ulder
men of London and mayors of other
towns us burons.. Yet the whole amount
collected wus under i'i.l.MO. ( ,' j
The poll tax having fui)e,d. thd coun
try reverted to the previous Sysrtem of
granting fifteenths and tenths. The
first indication of an income tax occurs
In 14:15, when an uct was passed im
posing a tax on every person "seized
of manors, lands, tenements, rents, an
nuities, ottlces, or any other posses
sions." Hut, although we have hero the
idea of income tax, yet this mode of
raising revenue Is generally considered
to have been introduced by Pitt In 17H9.
Tho rate was 10 per cent., and It pro
duced about 0,000,000. After tho, pence
of Amiens, Addlngton repeuled it on the
ground that it ought to be exclusively
reserved for times of war, but re-imposed
it for the same reason, when the
war broke out again in the following
year.
It was very unpopulur1 and was
repealed in 1S06, as Boon as
possible after the close of the
great war. The tax was re-imposed
by Peel In 1842 for four years, his
object being "to relievo trade und com
merce from the trammels by which they
were bound", by repealing other tuxes
in his opinion more injurious.

"The czar is dead, long live the czar!"
After the most intense suffering we
learn that Alexander 111, one of the
strongest and strangest men of the
nineteenth century a man who could
tear a puck of cards in two and bend a
rouble .with his lingers died wrecked
In body though strong In mind. What
Americans and Britishers alike will
most admire ubout the man is the
marvelous pluck he showed. He was
In danger of his life during the whole
of his existence and when dying looked
through Important dispatches and
documents. We all die in the same
way. Kings and beggars, emperors and
serfs. We read that the mighty c2ar
of all the Russluns sighed away his
breath in his wife's arms with his fam
ily around him. The eyes of the world
are on Russia and Its new emperor and
If he proves the man that his august
father was, Europe will rest in peace.
As fur as polities go Ireland still oc
cupies by fur the most attention, and
Klin's agitators and "patriots" are
making matters exceedingly lively.
Last Monday a deputation represent
ing the Dublin corporation, in accord
ance with a resolution recently passed
by that body, visited John Moiiey with
a view to urging him to bring his Influ
ence to bear upon the government for
the amnesty of the Irish "political"
prisoners. Amongst others the mayor,
the city high sheriff and the town clerk
of Dublin attended to "persuade" hon
est John. Mr. Morley'M reply was
straightforward and to the point; he
pointed out that not only he himself,
but the whole of the existing cabinet
had determined not to Bet these mur
derers and maimers at liberty. He
recognized no clulm on their part to
special clemency, but he promised to
faithfully report what they had put
forward, and added: "If it should ap
pear when the time comes that the re
lease of these men is a condition of a
full satisfaction of Irish feeling then,
und not befor.e as I said in 1, for
one, shall be reudy to consider the riues
tlon which you have now brought be
fore me, with every desire to make con
cessions to a current of popular senti
ment in Ireland." Then Mr. Redmond
has been asking in the nineteenth cen
tury, "What has become of home rule?"
Then again Mr. llealy roundly abuses
everyone and finishes up by asking for
unity, whilst Mr. Dillon is for doing
away with the peers piecemeal and
crushing the power of "the bitterest
enemy of the Irish people." No, no,
Mr. Healy's notion Is the correct one,
but he hus a peculiar way of putting it
into force. I'nity is what the patriots
require and until they do act together
well, God help Ireland!.
The premier has spoken, and has
spoken pretty freely, too. It was at
Bradford, In Yorkshire, that Lord Kose
bery delivered a vigorous speech before
a large and unusually enthusiastic au
dience. The whole of the peroration
was directed against the house of lords.
He hinted strongly at an early dissolu
tion. "What?" he asked. "What will
be the question at issue next election.
The liquor bill? I think not. Home
rule? 1 think not. No, I think the
question that will decide whether the
other questions will come through their
ordeals successfully or not will be
whether the lords are to retain their
present power, or whether that power
shall be crushed. Liberal governments
have no chance as long as an irre
sponsible house of peers remains to mu
tilate every bill they send up," said the
premier. "The result of this Is that
the people of England cry 'Oh, these
people are no good, turn them out,' and
'out' goes the Liberal government In
consequence. In any case," concluded
his lordship, "the house of commous
must possess alone the means of passing
any bill relating to flnunce."

there Is a tumulus, und for years untl
quaiians have been Itching to get to
the bottom of it. Mr. Read, of the
British museum, hus at length obtained
permission to excavate and the work Is
now going on. Vp to the present the
warrior queen's shin and other bones
have not been found, and Mr. Read is
unkind enough to say that he does'nt
believe Uoadey was buried there at ull!
Although he Is inclined to think some
"other fellers" may be.
While on the subject of excavations.
A remarkable discovery hus been made
at Lough Neagh, where un ancient boat
embedded under tlve feet of dense black
bog, and measuring !!:t ft. long, 4 ft.
wide in the center and tapering to '1 ft.
9 In. at each end, has been dug up. The
boat Is cut out of solid bluck oak with
inclined foot ' rests for the oarsmen,
grooves for the seats, etc., etc. The re
mulns of a pair rf oars were also found.
The boat was evidently used at a very
remote period In traversing In all direc
tions this extensive and oft-times
stormy inland sea. The bont will be
presented to the museum.
To what extent will credulity go?
Well, It is a hard question to answer.
An extraordinary case came before the
j court this week where a servant girl
i of smart nppeurnace nppeuled for an
I amllutlou order against a Mr. Howarrh.
There was some lovely lying in the case
and Mr. Howarth underwent a very se
vere cross-examination. He denied
writing the girl letters, he denied that
Mrs. H. was a fortune teller, denied an
swering the door to admit carriage
folk, in fact, ho gave an angry No! to
everything.' But, alas, Mrs. H. was out
of court, and when she appeared coun
sel elicited the facts that letters had
passed. Bho did tell fortunes and prac
tice clairvoyance and that many car
riages did stop at the door. In spite of
this, she described herself as a "copy
ist and corrector for the press." Bhe
also proved a perfectly beautiful llnr,
and between the two of them there Is
troublo-aheiid.' The names of many
fashionable callers are .likely to come
out and their Ignorance will be exposed,
It Is said that a groat number of car
riages have deposited -their occupants
into Mrs. Howarth's dwelling, nnd
there Is "going to be some fun, sure."
There is. an Did lady In Lpndon,' Mrs.
Cathcarl by:name, who spends all of
her time and most of, her money In the
law courts. She has never done any
sTOOd for herself yet und now attends
to bother the im fort unate justices as
much as possible. She prepureil an

Justice must find himself In as being a
brothetn-law e- Mr. i,eale, who was a
frierta of her own trustee. It would
make it difficult for him to decide
against his own friend, she pointed out,
and suggested that the case should be
sent to another court. Mr. Justice
laughed aye! laughed! "I am not a
brother-in-law of Mr. Leale and never
neurd of him," he said. "Then your
pedigree Is all wrong," said Mrs. Oath
Cart, "for 1 looked It all up; I must look
Into this.", Mr. Llndley said he was
sorry, and to give her plenty of time he
dismissed her application.
There have been two marriuges In
"susslety." The one accounted for the
youngest son of Sir John Mlllais, tho
painter; the other Joined together the
Marquis of Hamilton, eldest son of the
Duke of Abercorn and godson of Ted
dy'sI beg pardon I mean the Prince
of Wales and Lady Rosalind Cecilia
Caroline Bingham, the Earl of Lucan's
only daughter. It required three clergy
men to unite so muny names and the
bride it Is instructive to note Wore
the same Brussels" lace that her ma
wore when she- was married. The so
ciety papers get about six columns out
of her dress, but the following about
describes it: It was of rich white satin
and was covered with orange blossoms,
there was a long court train which
swept quite a large portion of the aisle,
and at' rapid calculation nossessed
about ninety-eight folds. There, now!
The bridesmaids were all Indies and
honorable somebody-or-others, and all
wore oh, bother! The Prince and
Princess of Wales would have been
present but for their sudden departure
for Livadia.
"Sensational exposures" are the or
der of the day and Annie Besant is the
central ilgtire in the most recent show
up. A series of articles are appearing
nightly entitled "Isis Very Much Un
veiled," the subject matter being "the
osophy" of course, Madame Blavat
sky gets very hard hit and the magic
Mahatmas get shown up (although they
have never shown up yet!) Several
chapters and a number or long words
are devoted to the versatile Annie, and
unless tho articles are substantially
true they are certainly very warm!
there will be a libel action sure.
W. S. Gilbert is very much before the
public Just now. A new piece from his
pen, with lyrics by Dr. Carr, has been
produced with instantaneous success.
The book is as good ns any this clever
wit has written, which Is saying a great
deal. It Is full of quaint Gilbertlsms
and hits ut present day society, all In
good taste, but none the less biting.
The play turns on practical Jokes, the
Joker of course being badly left in the
last act. The composer suffers very
unfairly by being compared with the
work of the master Sullivan, but It Is
clever and original and decidedly tune
ful. Among the actors and actresses
are many old favorites, Urossmlth mak
ing a most welcome reappearance on
the scene of old triumphs. Jessie Bond,
ton, comes back to Gilbert, as do Nancy
MclntoSh, John C. Hay and last, but
certainly not least, Rutland Harring
ton and that tremendous woman, Alice
Barnett. Americans will take to this
opera more readily than they did to
"Utopia," and It will be over the pond
before very long. How is this for a
suniple? It is a verse from the song of
the practical Joker:
"No fun compare with easy chairs whoso
. seats are stuffed with needles:
Live shrimps their patience tux, when put
down people's backs.
Surprising, too. what one can do with a
pint of fat black beetles;
And treakle on a chair will makt a
Quaker swear!
Then sharp tin tacks, and pocket squirts,
And cobbler's wax for ladles' skirts,
And slimy slugs on bed room floors,
And bed room jugs on open doors.
Then the pleasure Is so cheap
If you commence with eighteen pence, It's
ull you have to pay:
You may command a pleasant and a most
Instructive day."
Football is 'going very strongly, and,
already, the coming struggles between
the rival 'varsities are causing specu
lation and attention. A fur as paper

man, who competed against Yale C. B.
Fry who has won his "blue" at ath
letics, cricket and association football,
has turned his attention to the Rugby
game this season, and proves himself
a dashing player. If his ankle does not
play him any tricks, he will assuredly
gain his fourth "blue" this year, and
also a record. The Rugby union is
making vigorous efforts to free ama
teurs ranks of the many pseudo-professionals
It undoubtedly contains.
Prompt and harsh measures will have
to be taken and trouble is sure to ensue.
Fox and other hunting is in full swing,
there being 15C packs of fox-hounds, 114
harriers, und 17 of staghounds running
in England alone. Ireland number re
spectively 20, 28 and 0, and Scotland, 10,

populur hunting Is In our little empire.

Where others come to woep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
