of union liotxxr-nn hi that 1 had been
charmed to oliserxo. fm who kept be
side hpr. and gumilnl It with Jealous
cire n lolln nice. Mine reposed In
thp rmk.
Suddenly my liiuiiillful vlri-n-vls
dropped hPr book. 1 lastly 1 stoopoct
nnfl pave It to her. anil flu- thanked
me xith a miiIIp that ipvealpd purest
xxhltr. rather lingo teeth. "Shall xxo
foon arilve nt Rile?" she nslted, and I
thought xx hat an PMiUsltP contralto
volet nhe pn(.ps!-ed; "I nm so tliPd."
She pushed lucU the loo.s-p xxnXes of
ruddy Rold'tt hair that fell in pro
fUMn lound her lox'ely face. I think
if xv.ia the litflr. which looked like a
mass of living gold xxhen the June sun
uhlne fell upon it, that had first at
tracted my attention.
"We haxe four boms before xxe reach
Hale,' I anoxveied, detetnilned, now
that the ice xxas bioken, not to let the
floxx- of convctpatlon fieeze into 311
enrp, "You have had a long Journey
already?"
"Yes, and 1 have a weary time be
fore me; I am going on to London."
"So." I said, eagerly, "haxe 1. I am
going to Homo. I -I am a musician a
professional. You play the violin,
too?"
"Yes," sho nnxxxereil; "yes, 1 pay. I
love my instrument."
A strange smile parted the beautiful,
though rather heavily, molded llp., as
sdie looked doxxn nt the violin case. I
wished she xxould smile nt ine In such
a manner, mil I felt Jealous of any
tlimr. exen tn.enntp wood, that took
her attention from me. Iioubtlesp 1 be
t raved In my expression the admiration
that I felt, for she colored faintly he
rn rith my ardent Raze, but. to my te
ller, she did not nppear annoed: in
fact, she muIIpiI almost too broadly to
please me, and I began to fear that
she xx as laughing at me, 1'erhaps I
looked a little hint, for she composed
her futures Instantly; assuming her
former expression of mourning sad
ness, and seemed Inclined to icsuine
her book.
"The scenery Isn't much to boast
about heie," 1 observed iuckl ; "but
that s a lather pietty chalet, isn't it'.'"
"Yes," edie aRieed: "1 should inther
like to llxe In a house of that descrip
tion, So peaceful, so quiet: far rn
moxed from the roar of the xxorld."
She slclied deeply, anil I Instantly fell
to conjecturing' w hat .shadow of sor
row had darkened that young: life. I
noticed that when xxe stopped at a sta
tion she betrnjed some uneasiness, and
seemed Rlad xxhen the train Marted
on e more. I came, theietore. to the
loncluslou that she was afraid of be
ing pursued, and I giexv quite excited,
and determined to defend her at any
cost.
Madame," 1 said, rather losing my
held, "pairlon me If 1 tell you that I
can see you are In trouble that somo
thins is causing you uneasiness. Ho
heve me xxhen 1 my that I only Ioiir
to help you: that you may command
my services in any capacity." 1 spoke
thus, for xxe xx ere sloxxlng down, and 1
saw the beautiful face opposite ine
pale, nnd a restless .-sigh escaped the
rosy lips. Shi? stai'ted nt my xxouls,
and looked at me earnestly.
"Would you really help me?" she
asked in theco low, ilch tones that
acted on my nervous hystem like
music. "Ah, I need a fiiend."
"Then cieoffiey Wilmot Is at your
serxkes," I cried enthusiastically.
"Command mo to do anything nnd it
snail be done."
"Thank you," she said, with a sIrIi,
holding out her hand, which 1 took nnd
kissed, "Wo aie Hearing , aio xxe
n a?"
"Yc." I said, ns the train steamed
lino an ugly llttlo stntlon.
"I wonder," she said, "If you xxould
mind getting mo a glass (if water, I'm
so thlrttj."
IMIfthtol to obey her slightest xMi,
I Ilexx to tln buftet, and was absent
but a shoit time. When I teturned my
companion thanked me vety sxxeetlv,
hut barely touched the xvater. "There's
a commotion heie," l said cheerlully.
"There are pome polliemen looking for
a thief, I hcai, who Is Mipposnl to be
escaping."
At my xxords my companion tank
back against the cushions.
"It Is all over xxlth me," .she mur
mured. "Mr. . Wilmot, you said you
xvould he my ulend. The time has
mnie tor you to prove it. If you meant
xx hat jou said."
"What xvhat do you mean?" 1 asked,
aghast. "Good heavens-, you are not a
thlet?"
' Thief, no," she an.sxvered, rapidly,
"and It Is no thief that is being
searched for. I am a political letugee
I am escaping to Knglnnd, the land
of the free. It I am caught now, death
and xx oi se xx ill be my portion. Oh,
save me from a fate I darp not con
template. Save me noxx, nnd I will
bless you forexermore."
Hpr agonized, dnrk eyps gazed stialght
into mine, her hands clasped mine, ns
Phe poured forth the above confused
tale. I felt r.t that moment that 1 would
have fared a legion of remarks f0r her
sake aje, and fought them, too deem
ing it gain to lose my life lor her nxvect
sake.
I sad something to that effect, and
she smiled.
"Rut xvhat Is It I am to do?" I anker!,
anxiously. "Tell me and 1 will iio It "
"You must only say when tho men
come that 1 nm your sister," shp said,
quickly: "that will disarm nil bus
pluon," It was with feelings of mingled anx.
lety and excitement that I xvalted the
advent of the Rendarins. They came .
an official, awe Inspiring quartette
and thrust In befe.uhered heads, look
ing at us. xvlth severe eyes.
"Your names," culd tho lender, au
thoritatively, "Oeoffrey and Margaret Wilmot,
brother nnd sister," I nnsxvered, read
ily. "Incognltn" glanced at mo grate
fully. She had shaken the floxxlng,
golden locks about her face, nnd they
permitted but a single glimpse of its
beauty.
"We must search the carriage," said
the officials, and", accordingly, they did
so most thoroughly, even going to the
length of insisting on my Gladstone

box. as though they Imagined that the
object of their pursuit xxould take ref
use there.
"Evidently he Is not fide," said one
of the policemen. "Come, we must go
on."
"Plil you hear." I nked, excitedly,
ns the Intruders laboriously descended
to the platform, where an Interested
crowd xxatched their proceedings; "the
man spoke of he?"
"Yes, yes, I heard," my companion
nnsxvereil hastily. "Haxe you any
brandy? I 1 feel ns though I should
faint."
In great nlaini 1 hunted for my flask
and Riixe It to her. I must confess It
was lather a shock to ine xxhen I saxv
the amount she poured out Into the
little cup and drank without demur.
"Theie," she said, xvlth a sigh, "1 feel
better now, and, thank heaven, the

train Is movlnR on. I shall never for
get your kindness, Mr. Wilmot never."
She leaned toward me, so that her
loose IIoxvIiir hair almost blushed my
face. Almost Inxoluntarily I carried n
LUrl to my lips and kissed it.
"Such lovely hair," 1 said In apology,
reddening. "Forgive me, Miss "
"1 will, perhaps send you a little hit
ns a keepsake, us a memento of your
great kindness to me," my companion
said, betxxltchingly. "So, 1 will not
tell you my name noxx-. Give ine your
address in Home, and I will xxrite to
you from London."
1 compiled xvlth her request, Inward
ly resolved that I xxould not allow the
filendshlp thus begun to lapse. "How,"
1 s.Ud to her, xxlth n sigh, as xxe steam
ed Into Hale, "hoxv I xxlsh I xxeie goliiu
to Calais. You will be quite safe, you
think?"
"Quite, now," she nnsweied, brightly.
"Shall 1 ever forget you."
"Shall 1 ever forget you," I retorted,
xxarmly: "never." She xwis in the act
of teiuleily raising her violin case, but
she tin i.i'd and looked ut me xxlth an
odd smile, a smile I could not under
stand, that 1 scarcely liked; It seemed
inclined to tremble into a sneer.
"I don't Mippose," sho said blowiy,
"you ever will,"
She said no more, but descended fnun
the cnnlaRc, I following her, thinking
how wonderfully she carried off her
gieat height.
"We xx III part nnxv," she salil, pans
Ing nt the entrance to the xvalting
room. "Your tialn starts soon. Good
by. Mr Wilmot."
"You will not forget your promise," 1
said, eniieatlngly, "to to xvrlte to mo,
to send me "
I looked nt her beautiful hair; she
laughed and nodded her head.
"You shal. have it," sho said, softly;
"do net tear,'
And thus we parted, and I suddenly
felt that the woild had grown very
dark and diead.
I could scarcely xvnit for that prom
ised letter from my beautiful unknown,
of whose name oven I was Ignorant;
hut one day there came a parcel from
London rather a bulky one ad
dressed in a bold hand. I removed
fold after fold of tissue paper, till at
length the object of such careful pack
ing Iny beforo me, and I started In ut
ter, stupid amazement nnd bewilder
ment at a Rolden xvlg nf tho loveliest
hair Imaginable, and pinned to the
scalp xvns a letter addressed to me. It
rend as follows;
"You see I am keeping my xvnrd ns

DASUTO MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Girls Ate Desired 1'n a Family, for
They Mny Be Exchanged for Oxen,
Among the curious customs of the
liasuto customs which never change,
hut are handed down from generation
to generation ai e those connected
xvlth inurluge. Suppose, Rood render,
you xxeie a young Mosuto, nnd had
been smitten by the sight of a pietty
face tthu Mosuto Idea of beauty Is
quantity: the Indy must be fat very
fat or she has no chancti of being
considered beautiful), you woul 1 be ai,
ngRresor against all laxxs of etiquette
were you to speak to her, though you
might look ut her admiringly. Should
the attiactlon prove Irresistible, your
proper couimi of piocedure xxould be
to hunt up .-onio old lady friend If a
mutual ft lend so much the better and
confide to her your xxlsh to settli
doxvn and marry that paitlcula fair
one. I'MtRln-r nt r to arranijf ox-et.x-thliifr
for you as soon as poslbl".
This slie xxould gladly do, taking tho
111. si opportunity to call on the moth'1!'
or ft lends of the xxlshed for bride. The
tx-o ladles xxould then talk It oxer,
discussing ways and means ni.J your
position in H.isuto society. A laige
amount of tact is necessary, -is the
mother of the lady must be co-ivlnced
that the mnrihiRo is In every way de
sirable. If your friend could cor.xlnce
her that such xxas the case you might
tiM-siIrr that Ud'tuue smiled on yo-ir
ti-t relied plant.
To secure to the lady of your -holco
the full rights of a xvlfe you xmiiiIiI pay
over to your futiiit father-ln-l.ixv so
iiiunv head of cattle, according to
ngi cement, xxhleh Is alxvays based on
the supposed value of the bride, her
social position, peisonal appearance,
height, size, beauty, etc. This trans
fer of cattle makes binding the marital
contract, securing the woman from HI
tieatment nt the hands of her hus
band; for, should he 111 use her, sho
may return to her father or guardian,
and so tho man loses both his xvlfe nnd
his oxen. The parents of your xvlfe
xxould argue that the payment of cattle
xxas the very least you could do to
recompense them for all the teirlblo
anxieties nnd expense that they had
gone to In bringing up their daughter
for you. Xor do the Rasuto ever alter
In this respect; even should they he
come f'hrlstlans, thPlr chiefs compel
the payment of cuttle for their wives.
Of cause, herein lies the explanation
of the Joy manifested nt the birth of
a girl In a Hasuto family. She Is taken
up and exhibited by her grandmother,
xv ho first slaps her nnd then kisses her,
saying. "Luck' From this child come
many herds of cattle!" Tho birth of
a boy, on the other hand, Is deplored,
for he is regarded as an expensive nnd
unprofitable trouble.
lint tc resume, Helng now a son-in-law,
you must have a caro how you
deport yourself toward your father-In-Inxv,
as you will he expected to tako

the day or night to do nil kinds of me.
nlal work, and you may refuse only
at your peril. He can require you to
prepare skins: bray, dry nnd clean
them for him; ploxv his fields, sow
seeds nnd attend to his crops; In fart,
you nro virtually his servant. For tho
first year after your marriage you
xvould not tako your wlfo far axxay
from her father's home, but xvould
dwell xvlth her In a kraal quite close to
her parents. On tho birth of the (list
child you xvould perform the ceremony
of mokadee, xvhlch consists in present
ing your mother-ln-laxv xvlth a certain
number of cattle. Until this time you

3ty
cr-ln-laxv, or even to look at her;
should you meet her unexpectedly, po
liteness nnd custom mako It necessary
that you should hide your head.
As u Mosuto you need not limit your
attentions to one wife, although you
would lilstltiguMi your fnvoiltu lady as
your "chief" wife, nnd It Is her chll
