Itosts and honey suckles twiue over the porch; and, though there is no garden to peak of, the old road is so overgrown w ith grass and flowers that it U a garden in itself. There is no traffic this way now, ex cepton market days, when the carts from a few scattered farmsteads go past h zerley; so the long, green rib bons ou the road and the wide borders gradually encroach year by year, until in some places they meet in a level stretch of grass. The heather conies down the hillside almost to the wall, and through it, laugbiug and dancing, runs a little beck, which crosses the road a few yards below the cottage. Some ten years ago the place was oc cupied by a you Dg widow and her twin children, a boy aud a girl. She had come there with her habits five years before, on her husband's death, and had earned a scanty living ever siuce ly working for one of the bhops at ia.er- ley. Sue was either too shy or loo proud to make friends easily, aud no one knew whether she bad friends or kindred elsewhere. Oa market days some one of the passing farmers would bring her small purchases up from Fa zerley, or take ber bundle of work down to the shop. The bustling farmer's w ife at the Fellaide farm had always a kiudly word, and sometimes a bun or an apple, lor me twins, wiieu tuey went to fetch the milk two or three times a week. The old ehepherd, when his sheep were on that tide of the fell, liked to have a chat with the little ones in passing, or to have them trot beside him for a mile along the road; but these were the nearest approaches lo intimacy the country folk had with the The chil dren always looked clean and neat and rosy; the cottage was a miracle of or der and trimcess; and no one gueascd till it was too late the terrible poverty that bad been bidden under this cheer ful air of independence. During the winter and spring the mother had been constantly ailing; she had a troublesome cough, and more than once when the farmers passed on market days the twins had taken mes- sat-M from ber iu bed. It was no mat- o ter of surprise to Farmer Bleasdale, therefore, w hen to his usual inquiry one morning ia August, the little girl replied that "Mother was poorly, and a thing was wanted." When he pass- el back in the evening the two chil dren were sitting on the doorsteps con- w Licit was ber formula when she want ed to l kiud. Mairly had l-een taken by the vicar to ber new home. She looked such a ciuaint little figure in her long lilac print gown and white apron, the uniform of the orphanage, that the vi car's daughters called her a "sweet little dear," and gave ber sliver six- petuvs, and the servants kissed her and cried over her. Hhe was some years younger than the usual age of admis sion, aud the girls at the home seemed very big to her. The long rows of lilac priut frocks and white aprons le- wildered her, aud the sameness of voice and expression never cea-scd to perplex and distress her. If there were some who were incliued to tease aud torment her, there were others who would have liked to make a pet of her, but Mairly never distinguished between these; she suffered the caresses ofoue inexactly the same spirit as she endured the petty tyranny of another. The teacher found her good and obe dient, and she went through the daily routine with immovable patience, but without interest. When there was some unusual sound in the house, or a visit from a stranger, Mairly's face sharpened into a look of intense ex pectancy, and then settled back iu awhile to the same dull iiatience.

At Fazerley the por ter remembered that a workman in the early train bad a-ked him to show a little girl the road to Langton; he had put her ou the way when he went to breakfast. The matron drove to Langton; and it was only when she arrived with the vicar at Mrs. Smith's that I Kin's ab sence was discovered. No one Ih . lght of going to the little fellside cottage until the old shepherd came through the village agaiu in the afternoon; and by that time it was early dusk. There was a bitter east wind blowing, and the promise of a hard frost; and the whole village turned out with lanterns and went up the fell. After some hours' fruitless search they were forced to wait for daylight, when they set to work, reinforced by help from the country side. They found the children by the beck, 0 or 500 yards from the cottage, lying in the heather, tightly clasped iu each other's arms. They were both dead; but the brown cloak of the orphanage was around Don, and it seemed as if Mairly had been trying to keep him warm. Ix)udon Speuker. He Didn't Want Much.

Finally Li- ouel O. Robertson heard her while pass ing the house. He went to the rescue, but could not turn the machine to re lease tbe unfortunate young woman. A machinist and a physician were sent for. On the arrival of the machinist he was compelled to take tbe machine ipart before Miss Polder could be re leased. The physician then extracted the needle, and tbe wound will soon heat, but the experience is one which will doubtless be reoiembered by the victim for a long time. In the life of Henry Bradley Plant is a story which shows that mercy may sometimes temper justice to good effect, by awakening in an offender a loyalty which he has never before shown. Mr. Plant was one day traveling in a baggage car, when he saw an express man, in handling a box marked 'Olass,' turn it wrong side up. "Here!" he called to the man. "That Ikx is market! 'Glass,' and should he kept glas side up, as indicated." ' Oh, I kuow it's marked lass,'" said Uie expressman, "but I never pay any attention to that." Mr. Plant said no more, but later, when tbe superintendent of the office was alone with the man, be asked him: "Do you kuow w ho that gentleman was who spoke to you about the box marked 'Glass'?" "No, sir." "Well, tliat was Mr. Plant" "Then that means my dismissal." "I think it does. I shall have to dis- mH yon. Later the superintendent said to Jxr. Plant: "I shall dismiss that man, oi course." "No," eaiJ the president, "don't dis charge him.

Ineffective Proselyting. the past, but of recent years the Senate has retused to admit by appointuiect when tbe Legislature has adjourned with out making a choice. There are prece dents on both sides, although the recent precedents are opposed to Senator li'iay. There are those who argue that the State Constitution U a stumblinu-block in Quay's pathway. These persons point t a clause which provides that in case of a vacancy in a recess between sessions the Governor shall convene the two It oust by proclamation or uot ice, not exorediug sixty days, to fill the same. f course no provision that a State Constitution could make could overrule the prov isions of tho Constitution of the Foiled States. Under the Constitution Seuator. must e elected t,y the IKisUlureri except under certain conditions when Governors may appoiDt. The States are given power to fi the time, tace and manner of electing Senators but Congress is given the higher author ity to change all State laws, with the ain .a av.-eotion of the place here the elec- tiou is to lie held. Congress, has assumed this authority, aud b decreed that bal loting shall begin two weeks alXer the or ganization of the legislature. It makes no provisions whatever foi recalling Leg islatures as the State Constitution of Penn sylvania does, but it does declare deli nitely that when a vacancy happen, du ring a recess the Governor shall ar-phit-It w ill be uoliced that the Constitution of the United Sutes vests the power of ap poiutmeut iu the Governor, while the SUte Constitution of Pennsylvania un dertakes to nullify this power by recall ing the legislature a thing which is ab surd. This section of the Stale Constitu tion is of no avail whatever. Suppose. for instance, that a constitutional amend ment Khould be added providing for the election rf Senators ty the vote of the people. Is any one foo!i--.h enough to con tend that the provision in the St:U Con stitution wool. I not I-m null asid vi'td? Thai feature f I iio ".s i not worth while considering :U length. The only posxiMe ioiiit is whether u inter the pro visions of the United sutes Constitution giving a Governor the right to appoint, this right iu Senator ipiay's case will le upheld by the Senate it--elf. As we have already ctid, decisions have been made Uilti wys, aud decisions iu all probability will tie made both ways again. There is and can ie no tised rule except under a constitutional provision, for the Senate is always the final arbiter in such matters, and such matters w ill al ways be settled by a majority vote of tuat body. There are now four vacancies ex isting, and the States involved are Penn sylvania, Peiaware, Utah and California. This holding np of Legislatures is bei-om-ing altogether too common, ami some thing must be done to break up the prac tice. There are three ways to do it. oe is by a constitutional amendment provid ing for a popular vote. Another ia he abandonment of the present requirement that a majority of the legislators shall be required to elect and acceptiug as a Sena tor the candidate w ho receives the high est number of votes in the Legislature. This alternative, we understand, is being very seriously consiilered. and il is not unlikely that definite action in this direc tion may be taken when Congress again eonveues. 1 lie oluer way to secure a iu.i representation is to accept the appoint ment of a Governor w hen a Legislature shall fail to elect. Governor Stor.e has done tbe proper thing, for in appointing Senator 2uay he has but voii-ed the popular will. Wheth er Senator luay shall lie admitted or n"t will depend entirely upon the individual views of the Senators who will sit at the next session. It is useless to talk a boot constitutional points. ftr thero are no con stitutional points. It is a pure question of the common sense of the Senate itself. Xr. Durham' Comment on the Senstorship.
