Then tbe other added, hurriedly : "I have not time to talk wiib you now, but can you Dot come to me soon J I want to speak a word with voa."

"Perhaps I remind her of some one who was dear to her, and is now dead, but bow did sbe know tbey called me Brownie !" Then, ia thoughts of ber lover, sbe forgot the fair Miss Herrick and her words. Alice Herrick was engaged to a man she deemed worthy a lifetime of affection. Sbe had known him a long time, and a few evenings before this, be bad been showing her some photo graphs, and accidentally left hispock- es case at tbe bouse, and in tbe morn ing fche found it ia the parlor, and not dreaming there were any be would care to conceal from her, sbe bad looked at them again, and among them discovered one be bad not shown ber, the face of ibis little beau ty from Madame L 'e, and on tbe back, ia ber future husband's writing were the words, "ily Own Little Brownie."

Sbe belonged to bis set, sang, played and danced well, besides being an only child of a father worth something more than two hundred thousand.

On Wednesday Miss Herrick and Bernice were together a long time. Tbey parted firm friend aqd bays remained so ever since. What passed bet weeu. then, only themselves ever knew. Charlie Eaton received from Alice a note releasing bim from the engage ment, and the diamond sbe bad worn to remind ber of his true and lasting love.

Wben Eaton agaiu saw Bernice, sbe was tbe same as of old. only her blushes did not come qake so quickly at bis bidding, bat she laughed and chatted with bim, was just as witty, bright and beautiful as before ; bat wbea be took ber, one starlit night, for another sleigh ride, oat to the Boulevard, and bent agaia tbe hand some bead to (be starry-eyed face be side bim, and said ia bis lowest, sweet est tones "Bernice, I love you.

Tbo Blaeat Death. Tbe black death, which bas again smeared in some Darts of Rni . . r ' has nrnven rsrr rlpatrnftiva an1 caaa. ea tne greatest alarm. This ia tue same disease, wbicb, in tbe fourteenth century, desolated tbe globe, and it gets its name from the black spots, symptomatic of a patrid decomposi tion, that show themselves at one of its sisges oa the slia of the sufferer. It is thought to have bad its origin in China in 1333. some 15 years be fore its outbreak ia Europe, aad it rsged tor 25 years, while droughts, famines, tUods, earthquakes that swallowed towns and mountains, and swarms of Lcusts spread devastation everywhere. During the same peri od Europe bad as many abnormal condi tiuus as the East. The order of nature appeared to be reversed. Tbe seasons were at various times inverted ; thunder storms were fre quent ia mid-winter, and volcanoes, l"Cg considered extinct burst fortb afresh. Tbe theory is that tbe ex traordinary activity cf tbe earth, ac companied by decomposition of vast organic mases myriads of locusts, brutes aod bodies of human beings produced some change io the at mosphere inimical to life. Some writers say that the impure air was actually vicible as it approached with its burden of deatb. Tbe plague owed its extension almost wholly to infection and contagion. Three years passed Ircm tne date er its sp pearance ia Constantinople before it crept by a haze circle to the Russian territories. Statistics were not ob tainable then, but it is estimated that ia China alone 13,000 000 people died, and ia tbe remainder of tbe Eat 21,000,000, while in Europe 25. 000.000 souls peaisbed, making s grand and terrible total of 62,000 000. Although there is little danger of tbe spread cf the pest to western Europe for many generations it bas been confined to the East it is not strange that tbe Russians should be stsrt'ed by tbe ravages tbe black death bas already made. Persons attacked with it are said to die like flies, and tbe ignorant and superstitious peas antry are so terrified by it tbat many are thought to bave perished from pure frighL Fortunate the laws of health and tbe peculiarities of disease are much better understood now than ia eeoturies gone by.
