HIS CIIAXCE.
RK'HAK1 A- KIXU.
Hhe was for some time as certain
and as wrong about her feelings for
him, as rfie was assured and right in
her assurance of his love for her.
As for herself, she considered herself
merely his friend confidant and adviser
jrent ral utn all sulyeotw, but esjiecial
ly upon the subject of bis neglect of his
profession the law.
Had he not been so desperately in
love with her he might have laughed at
this grandmothering of him, as he
laughed at most things, for, though the
kindest hearted man perhaps in Lon
don, he affected a light, bright, breezy
cynicism.
cially he wad equipped to perfec
tiona brilliant talker, a graceful and
indefatigable dancer and an admirable
player of all games, even of whist in
o young a man so singular a distinc
tion. It was his one recommendation
to her father, the eminent barrister,
Weldon Wraxall, Q. C, who shook
his head over licrtie Iiayburn's frivoli
ties. "He'll end up like old Singleton,"
lie said sometimes of Bertie, to Trix's
intense exasperation; for old Singleton
was a despicable club loafer.
Hut this exasperation of Trix's was
not with her father alone. She was
also annoyed with Beitie, and yet more
with herself, lecause of the depth of
thisan;i"vanee.
Why should she be so interested in
him ? Was she was she
Well, she was as she discovered for
' herself, at I jidy Weevil's balL
In an interval between the dances
she had allowed him to lead her into
the conservatory, off from the ball room,
in order that she might give hiin an un
usually severe lecture.
"Are you going to Ribchester ?" she
ask-d, with abrupt irrelevance.
"liilK-hester? Has an expedition
teen organized to explore Ribchester?"
he asked.
"To the assizes;" she explained, with
out a smile, but with almost petulant
impatience.
"I ? No. It would be no use my go
ing. I've got nothing to do."
"I.ut how can you expect to get any
thing to do if you never go to circuit?"
she a-ked.
"I shall go down to-morrow night,"
he said meekly.
"It does seem such a pity with your
ability and industry when you choose
to le industrious "
Here he shook his head.
44Oh, but I know. Mrs. Meltham
told me how you sat up night after
night doing her husband's press work
when he was ill of typhoid fever. Well,
you see, when you've a motive to
drudge you can drudge,"
"I can not tell you how kind I think
it of you to pitch into me like this," he
said.
"It's not much use."
"Yes, it is; indeed it is. I shall go
down to Hibchester to-morrow night.
and shall go to circuit always in the
future, and I shall drudge like a dray
horse, if drudging can do it. I shall; I
give you my word of honor."
This new expression of earnestness
gave a new beauty to his fine face, and
it was in looking up into it now that
Trix made her discovery.
She blushed, lowered her eyes under
his searching gaze, and said, very
humbly
"I have been very imiertinent."
"Impertinent! You do not know
how much your interest means to me.
I'm always thinking of what you
think f me, and wishing to be what
you wUh me, and I believe I could be
and d it all, if if I had any hope,
Trix," he said, taking her hand, and
locking his "hope" into eyes which
answered to it.
'There's father," she faintly urged,
but they soon forgot everything and
everyone and time and place and cir
vjmstaiHvs, and all but each other and
their love. The last thing she said to
him at parting was :
"Don't go down to Ililichester. I
shall write to-morrow, after I have told
father, and let you know what he says,
and if I can see you."
Next meriting, at breakfat, Trix in
geni;us!y brought the conversation
round to Uertie,
'Kvcryone says he's so clever," she
r plied to a disparaging remark upon
him made by her father.
'K.vryotie ! Did you ever hear i
solicitor say it?'
"Iiut, my dear fat hi r, how can soli
citors know whether he's clever or not
till they try till they give him a brief."'
"Ia hint marry a solicitor's daugh
ter," pronounced her father, senteu-
tinu-.lv.
"Hut he can't."
"He can't? Why can't he. Iam
sure"
"Bi?cause he's engaged to me," she
rvp'.ied, with sublime audacity, rising
at the same time to get liehind her fath
er's chair and hide aud cool her burn
i:ig blushes again-t his parchment
check. He had dropped his knife and
and fork and laid back speechless in
his chair before she got behind it.
"There, you dear old father, don't be
cross. I couldn't help telling you, you
know. I can keep nothing from you,"
hs though the confession were the
olfensc.
"Engaged T' he burst out at last.
"Engaged to a fellow without a penny
or the pKwpect of making a penny. A
mere man about town. An idle fel
low" "There, father, that will do," she
said, putting her hand before his
mouth, "I don't want you to feel mis
erable afterward for saying hasty aud
unkind things."
This delicate aud exclusive conslder-
ion for him was too much even from
his adored Trix.
I'non my word," he cried, as he
managed to unmuzzle himself from her
hand with a jerk of his head, "you are
considerate. "It's a pity you didu't
consider my feelings before you accept
ed a man you know I disapprove of.
"But you don't disapprove of him at
JL father. You said the other night
he was the best young man partner at
whist you ever played with Now,"
he erijd, triumphantly.
"What the There ! I won t say it.
but, you'd make a saint swear. Be
cause I approved of him as a partner at
whist, therefore I must approve of him
as your partner for life ?"
"I didn't disapprove of him as your
partner at w hist," Trix saidsodrolly
that it was not possible for her idolizing
father to help laughing.
And I don't and wont give my
consent," lie said, checking his laugh,
aud so to say, retracting It by speaking
very doggedly.
"Oh. yes you will, when the solicit
ors offer him briefs even without their
daughters," she said coaxingly, w hile
she swayed her father backward and
forward in his chair.
There it is ! That's it ! If he only
took his profession seriously, or could
get any one in the profession to take
him seriously ! 1 ou might wait, i nx,
to meet some one with some promise
or prospect of something."
"That's just what I mean to do tatn-
.. , - 1 i T 1 J
er, 1 tola Jienie iasi nigni i womu
marry no man who badn t distinguish
ed himself."
"Oh, well, that settles it," her father
answered dryly.
Trix ha I the tact to press the point
no further for the present.
Her father, like all leading barristers,
undertook more than he could compe
tentlv perform, and at present he was
overwhelmed with work.
After a heavy day at the courts he
returned to a harassed and hurried
dinner.
My dear, I never was so worried in
my life !" he exclaimed to Trix kissing
her. "There's;;McAUister gone ana
got the influenza. He's with me in
two or three Ribchester cases, ana
there's one on to-morrow that 1 ve
been depending upon him to master
and manage almost altogether," point
ing to a brief beside his plate. "I must
tackle it after dinner, with the help of
a strong cup of coffee,"
"But you are due at Euston at 9:30,"
said Trix.
Oh, an hour or so will give me its
sulistance, and I can beat it into shape
in the train."
Having dispatched his dinner he was
proceeding to open the brief, when Mr.
Frederick Flint, senior partner in the
famous firm of solicitors, Hint, Affleck
& Co., was announced.
He had come upon urgent business,
which was found to necessitate an im
mediate consultation with Attorney
General Weevil.
After their departure, Trix sat down
to write her promised letter, which she
had deferred until now, in the hope of
having something more favorable to
record.
As, however, her father had been too
much hurried and worried to be spoken
to upon the subject at dinner, she could
only report the morning's interview.
Having at last finished her letter, she
went into the study to look for a stamp,
aud there lying upon his desk she
found a brief.
Upon going to see Mr. Flint her fath
er must have taken it with him into
the study, laid it on the desk, and then
forgotten it in his absorption in a more
important case.
What now was to be done? Half an
hour since the tram had started from
Euston, and there was probably no
other train that night for Ribchester.
Upon looking into a guidebook, how,
ever, she found that a train left King's
Cross for that town at 4:30 a. m., aud
was due in Ribchester at 6:42, and by
this she could send the brief.
But if the case was to come on to
morrow her father would not have time
to read not to say master the brief.
Whv not send Bertie both as a mes
senger and as a "junior ?"' He'd have
five hours to study the brief before
starting, aud could, as her father in
tendedbeat the case into shape in the
train.
What a chance for him and for her.
She rang the bell, sent for her maid
and bade her get ready at once to ac
company her in a cab to Selden street.
Within three-quarters of an hour they
were there, and strange to say, found
Bertie at home.
When he had hurried down to her to
the cab, she said breathlessly :
'I was afraid you'd be at some par
ty."
'I am due at one, but I waited, ex
pecting a letter," he said, significant
ly. She smiled and blushed and re
warded him with the sweetest of
glances.
Here is something better," she said
handing him a brief, and proceeding
to explain all the circumstances of the
case. "It's a great chance," she wound
up with.
After drawing a long orvuth he an
swered :
Almost too great so much may de
pend upon it." And then he asked
wistfully, "Is there no letter?"
"Nothing but that to-night," she
said decisively. "Rememlier, 4:40,
King's Cross. Telegraph from Rib
chester. Goodbyf And she drove
resolutely away.
Every undistracted minu'e now was
momentous to him and to her. Nev
ertheless many of these precious min
utes had slipped by before Bertie could
force thoughts of her from his mind
and concentrate his entire attention
upon the brief.
This, Low ever, he succeeded at last in
doing, aud lie read and re-read it until
he had thoroughly mastered its bear
ings. Having then marshaled iU strong
points in logical sequence and with
cumulative force, he paced the room to
and fro, addressing not an imaginary
court, judge and jury, but only and al
ways Weldon Wraxall, to whom he
paid the compliment also of an imita
tion of his method and style.
On his arrival in Ribchester he had
a bath and hasty breakfast before hur
rying to the courts, where he soon
found the eminent Q. C.
"Hallo, Rayburn ! Got many cases
on ? he asked rather maliciously.
"One, sir, I hope, with yonr con
sent." "With my consent?"
"Miss Wraxall was so good as to send
me the brief you forgot 'Bangs versus
Haberton, which I've got up fearing
you would not now have time to look
at it."
"The brief I forgot? 'Bangs versus
Jiahertour I have no such case on
my list.
"Nor" exclaimed Bertie in pitiable
dejection.
"No phew ! Of course ! It's that
ease McAlister had to throw up which
Flint brought me last night, but I for
got the brief in my study."
"I do wish, sir, you'd get him to In-

The O. C. looked at him nieaitauve-

put an encouraging hand ou his shoul
der, "Come along, then."
Thev soon found t hnt, whom the .
C. drew aside. Having explained the
circumstances he said what he could
for Bertie. "For a young man, he s
the best partner at whist I ever played
with."
"What the" began Mr. Flint, pre
cisely as her father had begun to an
swer the same recommendation when
urged by Trix.
Mr. Flint also checked himself be
fore uttering the "big swear" on his
lips and gave a rather grudging assent
to the employment of Bertie, who how
ever, surprised him, and still more Mr.
Wraxall, by his really admirable con
duct of the case.
"You'll do !" the Q. C. cried to him
enthusiastically, nd Bertie knew that

A Horse Drinks From a Hose Pipe.
There are some people who will not
believe the following story of a horse
which takes the end of a hose pipe in
his mouth aud holds it there until his
thirst is quenched, but it is said to be a
fact. The horse is owned by F. S.
Brown, of Ansonia, Conn., and the
horse is stabled at Curtiss' livery barn.
It was several days ago that one of the
stable men, while fooling with him,
offered him the end of the hose pipe,
throuch which the w ater was flowing,
aud, to his surprise, the horse took it
in his mouth and held it there until
he had a good drink. The next time
the horse was led to the trough he, of
his own accord, took hold of the pipe
and succeeded in getting the end in
his mouth aud had a good drink, and
continues to do so day after day. Bos

Getting Vrry Much Mind.
One curious symptom of the over
throw of common sense by science in
such a study as domestic economy is tho
fact that tho papers are frequently
marked by grotosque misspellings, not
merely of scientific terms, but even
more especially of common words which
in other papers would present no diffi
culty whatever. This is a mark of the
papers of senior schoolgirl, who study
the subject of domestic economy as wen
as of older students, and to Huch an ex
tent that an examiner is forced to the
conclusion that this study is in some
occult way a dangvr to orthography.
To invest in "cousins." to have the
finger nails nearly "paired," "poodles
of water, "minch meat," ."roasted

with water and to break a clatss up into

amples of this tendency. But scientific

evening's intellectual enjoyment, and
before he retired he had the contents
fully impressed upon his marvelous
mind.
Dickens was another of the remarka
bly rapid readers. George Eliot's "Adam
Bede" came to him one day. Before his
ordinary bedtime he had read it aud
pronounced this remarkable dictum,
"That book was written by a woman."
Others required days of leisure to read
it aud the question of authorship was
the question of tho time in lite-nay cir
cles. Of a well known lawyer it was once
said that he was able to read a newspa
per article or a page of a book at what
seemed to the observer to be but a glance.
Endowed at the same time with a pow
erful memory, he was enabled to digest
at leisure what he had absorbed in haste.
Very much the same was said of Dan
iel Webster, who read "Don Quixote"
in a 6ingle night Strand Magazine.
Just at Coincidence
"What curious coincidences will some
times occur," remarked Police Judgo
Low the other evening. "I was walking
along Post street near Union square,
one night recently, when suddenly the
bewhiskcred face of Judge Campbell
came before my mind's eye. I don't
know what could have called him to
mind, but I was still thinking of him
when I saw a parcel on the sidewalk. I
picked it up and found it was a sheet of
mu-sic that some one had dropped. I un
rolled it and was confronted with the
title, 'And Still His Whiskers Grew.'
It struck me as being so ridiculous that
I sat on a bench in the square and laugh
ed for hlf an hour." San Francisco

Violence ever defeats its own ends,
Where you cannot drive you can always

THE PLANET MARS.
Both Chemically sad Physically It Is Tery
Like the Earth.
Year after year when politics cease
from troubling there recurs the question
as to the existence of intelligent sen
tient life on the planet Mara, The last
outcrop of speculation grew from the
discovery by M. Javelle of a luminous
projection on tho southern edge of the
planet The light was peculiar in sev
eral respects, and among other interpre
tations it was suggested that the inhab
itants of Mars were flashing messages
to tho conjectured inhabitants of the
sister planet Earth. No attempt at re
ply was made. Indeed supposing our as
trononif r royal, with our best telescope,
transported to Mars, a red riot of, fire
running athwart the whole of London
would scarce be visible to him. The
question remains unanswered, probably
on answerable.
There is no doubt that Mars is very
like the earth. Its days and nights, its
summers and winters differ only ia
their relative lengths from ours. It has
land and oceans, continents and islands,
mountain ranges and inland seas. Its
polar regions are covered with snow,
and it ha9 an atmosphere and clouds,
warm sunshine and gentle rains. The
spectroscope, that subtle analyst of the
most distant stars, gives us reason to
believe that tlie che mical elements fa
miliar to us here exist on Mars. The
planet chemically aud physically, is so
like the earth that as protoplasm, the
only living material we know, came
into existence on tho earth, there is no
great difficulty in supposing that it
came into existence on Mara, If reason
be ahlo to guide us, we know that pro
toplasm, at first amorphous and nnin
tegrated, has been guided on this earth
by natural forces into that marvelous
series of forms and integrations we call
the animal and vegetable kingdoms.
Why, under the similar guiding forces
on Mars, should not protoplasm be tho
root of as fair a branching tree of living
beings and bear as fair a fruit of intel
ligent, sentient creatures? London

Lannea' Dying Rebate to Napoleon,
On the 23d Napoleon again visit d
Lanues, who was now fully conscious
and aware that he was doomed. He was
as fearless as ever, and with the stern
candor of an old republican poured out
to the emperor all that he felt The
army, he said, was weary of blooelshcd.

both were alike aware that they suffered
and bled no longer for a principle, but
for the boundless ambition of one man.
The veteran marshal refused all sympa
thy tr consolation and turned his face
to the walL Both Marbot and Pelet de
clare that this story of Cadet de Gassi
court is an invention. If so, it u a clev
er one, for we know from other sources
that as far as the army was concerned
the statement attributed to Launes was
correct As there was little chance for
booty in such rapid marching and con
stant fighting, the youth and the poor
were disheartened. The great fortunes
wou by the officers were cf little use
while peace was denied for their er.jcy
nient The millions of Massena did not
save him from the exposures and hard
ships of the battlefield, and he confessed
that he loved luxury and immoral self
indulgence. Such voices had created an
undercurrent of discontent "Lile of
Napoleon, " by Professor Sloane, in Cen
tury. Roman Theaters, I860.
The theatrical entertainments were
very good, and the cost of attending
them was exceedingly smalL While in
the leading theaters of London tr Paris
there is usually one great actor er singer
who overshadows the rest of tho compa
ny, in Italy all the actors were nitre
nearly on the same level. Many an even
ing we have enjoyed an Italian play oi
opera at the modest cost of a lira (niu
pence halfpenny). In the summer time,
when the Apollo and tho Valle were
closed, the Correawas opened in the
mausoleum of Augustus. There was no
roof to it but the sky. The performance
began at 6 aud endel at 8 or half past
The price of a chair in the pit was a
lira, and there was no objection to a ci
gar. The last time we were there the
play was Shakespeare's" Romeo and Ju
liet" The acting was excellent, and
the text of Shakespeare translated into
Italian was closely followed. In the
Italian theaters then you could for a
lira have seen Ristori and Salviui in tho
same plays as they performed in Lon
don, where gold had to be paid for en

There was a time when foreign made
shotguns English especially -could
outshoot, outkill and outlast anything
that American gunmakcra put together,
but now the Yankees are making us
good guns and as cheap as anybody in
tho world, aud they are improving their
opportunities in a way that makes for
eigners do anything but smile.
An American Field correspondent
says: "If yon waut a gun, buy an
American niudo cue, and yon will get a
good shooting gun, and a gun just as
good in material and finish. Every botly
talked foreign made puns to me, and I
got one. I sold it and had a 'pump' gun
made by a big American firm, and I can
do just as good shooting with it as with
any gun in Europe. "
That is about the way mt of the
writers tn shotguns write to American
sportsmen's papers, aud it is noticeable
that American made gucs are often
mentioned in tales of Lird shooting ap
pearing in European papers for spcrts
men. ypoleon's Ink Wiper.
Napoleon was a hero to his valet,
Constant, though he sadly marred the
servant's effort to dress him neatly.
Suys the valet :
His breeches were always of white
cashmere. But two hours after leaving
his chamber it often happened that they
were all spotted with ink, thanks to bis
uibit of wiping his pen on them and
shaking ink all around him by striking
his pe n against the table.
Howe ver, as he dressed in the morn
ing for the whole day he did not change
his toilet on that account, but remained
iu this state until night
The whole inside cf his boots was
lined with white fustian. Whenever one
of his legs itched, he rubbed it with the
heel of the boot or shoe with which the
other leg was shod, thus heightening
the effect of the spilled ink.
Ticer antl Lion.
"One time, in order to test the cour
ago of a Bengal tiger and a lion," said
a well known showman, "we placed a
Chinese cracker in the respective cages
and fired the fuses. As soon as the fuses
began to burn they attracted the atten
tion of both animals, but in a widely
different manner.
"Tho lion drew into a corner and
watched the proceedings with a dis
trustful and uneasy eye. Tho tiger, ou
the contrary, advanced to the burning
fuse with a firm step and unflinching
gaze.
"On reaching the cracker he began to
roll it over the floor with his paw, and
when it exploded beneath his nose he
did not flinch, but continued hut exami
nation until perfectly satisfied. The
lion betrayed great fear when he heard
! the report of the explosion and for quite
a time could not be coaxed out of his
den. ' ' Loudon Tit-Bits.
