CHAPTER I. Terfumcs appeal to the memory in an extraordinary degree. This is sound sclentillc doctrine, nnd it is true, be sides. Take that old glove out of Its casket, my venerable ami lonely friend. You may look upon It with a steady eye, perhups; but If there linger in it the fragrance of the hand.it held no long ago, you dare not raise it to your lips and say you have forgotten. The Bights of spring delight us for their promise, but their scented breeze i blows out of the past, and we turn our face toward it. To Arthur Lymle, rt'.-otched upon his couch by the open window, the bivath of early June came laden with more than a single season's sweetness with the fragrance of blos soms that had grown to fruit, ami ripened, and fallen to the ground. Whether the memories It brought were Joyous, or trival, or sad, he turned to the past willingly, for there was no future. His lite lay all behind him. He could look upon It without shamo or any sharp regret for opportunities neglected. It had hefn a happy lll'e tind a short one. Thirty years meas ured it. Among the scenes that came back to him In the spring morning was one of trilling importance; but It came with singular vividness, and great perlals tance. He was a little boy then, and he hnd been quite ill, so that he lay in bed while the spirit of tho springtinv; .beckoned to him from outside the win dow, and he could not go. It wus hard to wait for returning health, und some times he became desperately impatient taxing the ingenuity of his mother to amuse him, but not her love to bear with him. There was a canary In the cage in his room. His mother had given him the bird, and he felt most tenderly toward It. He had never before thought Its lot hard, but, being then in captivity him self he was moved to pity the little prisoner; so he besought li is mother to open the door of tho cage and give the bird at least- the freedom of the room. She yielded to his entreaties, hut, un happily, neglected to close all the wln 'dows. Thus It chanced that the canary gained its freedom altogether and re turned no more. Arthur grieved ex ceedingly, and unite unselfishly, for he thought less of his own luss than of the fate of the little bird, which, bred In a cage, was unfit for liberty und would almost certainly perish. To console him. his mother said that the canary would realize its danger and would re turn, being provided with an infallible Instinct us a guide. Helievlug Implic itly what his mother said, and observ ing that the bird did not come back. Arthur accepted the logical conclusion that It peifened freedom even at the price. This small tragedy of his childhood was all in the June breeze, as he lay by the opi-n window and inhaled the scent of blossoms. Suddenly there was a sound in the room not dissimilar to the whir of a bird's wing, ami then a voice cried: "Good morning, Arthur, dear; I've come to keep you company." He turned his pale face toward her, and she fluttered down beside the couch and kissed him. She was a pic ture In the Suft tints of the blossoms, with blue and gold added. ' Don't you feel a great deal stronger this morning?" she asked. "Surely you must on such a day as this." "I wish I could say so truly, for your sake," he replied. "Hut I am no better today; and. what is much more to be regretted, I am no worse." "Don't speak like that," she cried. "I had hoped so much that Dr. Marston would help you." "I think the time has come," he said, "to lay such hopes aside. Br. Marston Is older in practice and a more com petent physician than I am. I would nave said a year ago that his opinion In such a case was worth more than that of any other mar. In this part of the world certainly far more than mine. But it Isn't. They are both equally valueless. I do not know what Is the matter with me, anil neither dues he; and thut's all about It. His view of the probabilities of the case Is exactly what mine Is; that I shall lie here for months, perhaps for years, and pass from death-ln-llfe to rest, at my ap pointed hour, which nobody can pre dict." She drew away from him, and snnk Into a great chair, sobbing like a chll 1. "You always make me cry," she said. "If you would only be more cheerful." "As to that," he replied, "I have a plan. It Is Impossible for me to be cheerful, but why should my gloom en velop you? It has done so, for nearly B year, Klnce this Illness came upon me. Kvery day ynu have brought the light of your presence to me, dear little wife, and God knows I am unspeakably grateful. I'.ut I am not so selfish as to tiermlt this to continue. This room hns feeen a prison to you as It has to me. I ftm going to open the door." , She looked at him uneasily. How had (he shown him that she felt herself a prisoner? "You have tried to do too much," he Bald; "and the Inevitable consequence hns come. It Is all my fault. My self ishness waa very short-sighted. If I had been wise enough at first to regu late your self-sacrlllre, I might not now be the burden upon you that I am. You have read to me, talked to me, sung to me, and have been my consola tion by day and by night. Hut what Imve I been to you? A sorrow and n Ssoff's Emulsion is not a secret remedy. It is simply tho purest Norway Cod liver Oil, the finest Ilypophos phitcs, and chemically pure Glyc erine, all combined into a perfect Emulsion so that it will never change or lose its integrity. This is tho secret of Scott's Emulsion's great success. It is tho happy combination of these most valuable ingredients, materially increasing their po tency; henco tho great value of Scott's Emulsion in wasting dis- We think people should w.what they are taking into stomachs. ptnuadtd to acetyl a lubiUtvtt f N, Y.

Only unhapplnesH. 1 tell you that when nature has determined to sever a tie, it snaps; and those who cling the long est when she bills them part, suffer the most." Her lips quivered, and a tear rolled from each of her eyes. She only half undertsood him; but, misled by con science, she thought he was reproving her. It was true that she had found it very hard to give up so much of the gay life to which she had always been ac customed, yet she hud done it for hla sake. Why should he speak In thla way? She took high ground with him. "It Is a wife's duty" she began. He smiled bitterly. "It is a dead man's duty," he said, "to withdraw himself from the con cerns of living persons. I have failed in that 'particular. Let us think less of your duty and more of mine. 1 um an Utterly helpless creature. I cunnul move either of my leps, und my right hand is just strong enough to hold my left upon my brcust as 1 lie here, hour after hour." "I love you," she sobbed. "You pity me at this moment, but love me you cannot. Jleivafter, when both of us are freed from the limita tions of the llesh, it may be possible. Hut in this world, encumbered by tiles.? mortal bodies; love means ljl'e und health. .It Is reciprocal. It Is sentl tnsnt Inspired by nature for her own purposes, und terminable at her pleas ure. No human will can summon it ' hold It. Am I the same to you as I was? Does your heart leap at the sound of my voice nd tremble at a caress? I would not have U so. It would be un natural, monstrous." She tried very hard to turn him from his gloomy and desperate trend of thought. "1 am waiting," she said, "till you are well again." "Dear little girl." he said gently. "I shall never be well. And now let's see what's to be done about It. 'I have spoken too bitterly, and have fright ened you. And yet it Is my wish to make ynu happy. Listen! I want you to go out into the world, and live your life." "What! Co away from you?" "Now, don't be frightened. Of course you'll live here, and run Into this cage of mine whenever you wish to have a look at me. I'll ulways be glad to see you. Hut don't ever think that you must come. Oo out Into society, and have people come here If they can stand It, knowing that my body's in the house, (let your old friends back again, and make new ones, both men and wo men. Dance, and play tennic, and ride In the park as you used to do. Spend a lot of money. There's plenty of It. I only wish I could help you do all these things, but, as I can't, you must do them twice as hard. And every time a gloomy thousht of me comes over you, say to yourself: 'I'm doing what he wants me to do. I'm doing what will make him the happiest.' And If you fall In love " "Arthur!" "Sow; little girl, let's be reasonable. I've proven to you that you can't love me. And love comes when you least expect It. Suppose, Just for the sake of the contract we're to make, that you really do find some Oiar.d.somo and agreeable fellow who very naturally has forgotten that I am alive, and pro ceeds on the theory that I am not; and suppose, further, that you find yourself thinking of him oftenep than Is really necessary, will you promise to come to me and tell me all about it? That's the vc Slio Fell on Her knees Ilcsldetho Couch. contract I mentioned. It's like tills: You're to be perfectly free, ami abso lute mistress of your own heart and conduct. I renounce all claims. And in consideration of my generosity, you ngrce to tell me when you fall in love with somebody else." Kho fell on her knees beside the courh, and, clasping his hand, shed tears upon It. "I hnv boon crivl to you," she sobbed. I have let you see thut some times I wns restless and Impatient of my duty. And this is my punishment. You have ceused to love me, and you no longer care whHt I do. You wish to drive me away from you." "l'romlse!" "To love you always." "You made thHt promise two years Ogo to love me while I lived. You have kept It. You have loved ma while I lived. Now for tho second promise. You would remember me In my grave If. a new love came to you, and would hesitate for the sake of that memory. Your faith would whisper to you: 'lie knows. Will tie forgive?' I tell you In advunce, I will. Hut, In this living death, I crave the power of the angels. I would know Will you promise?" And, protesting thut it was a sacri lege, she promised. v Then he spoke very calmly and cheer fully to her. "You see I hud to make tt scone of this," he said, "or wo never should have came to any decision about It. I've tried, before, to make you go back Into society, but you would not under stand me. It wan necessary to startle you as I have done. Hut after you think It over you'll see that I huve only considered your health and hnpplness. As to what I've said about love, It's nil true enough and I hold you to your promise. Hut don't make a nightmare of It. You're not obliged to fall In love with somebody else, you know, Just he cause I've suggested the possibility. You're not obliged to do anything, In fact. That's the point; you are fcee. We've discussed the subject, and we've decided that It Is not your duty to give all your waking thoughts to me; that, In abort, you are absolved, by the na ture of the case, from any duty what ever so far as I am concerned. Your own self respect Is quite enough. And now we've settled the whole matter, so ran away and play, little r;!rl, v.l;h a U;:ht fctart." . ilj v.oui.l not pr-inli her to E;:ca'i seriously any more. lie forced her to leave him, and promise that she would go out Into the air. Presently ho saw her in the. gard whence she threw a kiss to him.

He passed on and directly Mrs. l.ynde ran breathlessly into her husband's room. "Arthur," she said, ."if you really mean It " He turned pale and then laughed. "Upon my word, you startled me," he cried. "Walter Is a very fascinating young man, and " "Now, don't be absurd any more. Whnt 1 want to knotv Is whether you were in earnest about not caring to mass?

"Well, I didn't think she'd take this quite so easily," muttered Lynde, "but then I never did undersioicl women." (To He Continued.) FIVE LITTLE TALES. AH Bright and Kpigratninntic, unJ Lice Id cJly to the Point. Judge Jeremiah Black for a long time wore a black wig. On one occasion, having donned a new one, lie met Sena tor liayard, who thus accosted him: "V.'hy, ii'uek, how young you look! You arc not as gray & I am. and you must be twenty years older." "Humph!" replied the Judge: "good reason: your hair comes by descent and 1 got mine by purchase." In a civil action on money matters tho plaintiff hud stated tliHt his financial position was always satisfactory. In ciosu-examlnation he was asked if he had ever been bankrupt. "No," was the answer. "Next question was: "Now, be care ful: did you ever stop payment?" "Yes," was the reply. "Ah," exclnlmrd the counsel, "I thought we should get at It at last. W hen did that happen?" "After I paid ail 1 owed," was the re ply. James T. Hrown, of Indlnna, xtar once engaged in a case in the circuit court of that state, and was laying down the law wilh masterly ability when the judge remarked that he need not argue the law of the case, as the court understood that perfectly. Mr. Hrown replied, with much meekness, that he "merely desired to talk ubout the law as It Is In the books, which would be entirely different law from any his honor was acquainted with." As the train stopped at a small town In Virginia the mail bag was thrown to o. negro boy of perhaps 1" years, who started off at a brisk run to the post Mlicc.
