that moment Le heard a little, lady-like
knock at the door quite unlike the
thundering rap usually bestowed upon
it, by his friends from the neighboring
offices. Of course it was a lady a
yonng, pretty lady.
"I am sorry to titrable yon," she said,
. "but I am directed to this office for a
pocket-book which I lost yesterday.
This I believe is number four," and she
gla'ieed at the door.
Oscar looked amazed, aud the lady,
seeing Lim hesitate, went on.
"The advertisement was in the .Vr

King street, would be fonnd the pocket-
1 book which answered the description
of mine."
j "There must be some mistake,"

the paper, and with that she gave Oscar
as sweet a smile as he had seen for many
a lay, and bade him "Good morning."
That 'a very odd, though of course
; it's a mistake, somehow," said Oscar to
1 himself, as Le turned back into Lin
' dismal office, forgetting, however, to
notice how dismal it had seemed a mo
ment before.
! "Of course it can't lo here," he re
! pented, fumbling over the papers at the
same time. "Sam may, perhaps the
lioy is honest and he would never have
thought of advertising it. Of course
it's a mistake. l!y Jupiter, 6he was

To write the advertisement won Id
certainly appear a very easy thing, only
it occurred to Oscar that Miss Ella

that would cud the affair. To discover
her address, and take it to her himself,
was the thing.
So, after one or two attenips, Le wrote

"Now just hold on a bit. I took it

"Well. I must say !"
"Well, I aay you want a chance to go

The Old Home.
For years I had longed to visit the
home of my childhood ! to - press my
feet once more upon my native turf !
How I envied those of my friends who
were able to return to the old roof-tree
for family reunions. I knew, full well,
the dear, loved ones could not gather
about the old hearth, as in former days
for too well I remembered that terri

we all tried so hard to "lift," ana yet
failed to meet the demands. It was a

and another roof kindly spread its broad
wings over us and gave ns shelter. For
two vears our family all dwelt within
the walls of this adopted home, and
then there was a quiet gathering of
cherished friends, and 1 stood beside
one who promised to love and protect
me, and in the presence of the company
he kissed and called me "my wife ;" and
then I was whirled away to another
home, in a land of strangers.
For a time the months flew by as on
j angels' wings, for I was not only happy
but busy as the swift-winged birds in
arranging and rearranging the bright
new furniture about our oozy cottage :

It was a beautiful morning in the

The woman at my side talked of house ,

a social, gossippy way. and I listened
and commented with her ; but my heart
was living in the "long ago." When I
arose to take my departure, . farewell
dirge swept through the room, not dis-
tinguishable to other ears than mine
and a curtain was drawn across the easi
window, that was invisible to other
eyes.
As I passed into the lane where once
the green boughs waved their heavy
plnmes in seeming acknowledgment of
my presence, and the birds had caroled
sweet anthems, I felt that the soft,
balmy winds where whispering in my
ear : "This ia never more thy Lome.
Only the memory pictures, woven and
painted so long ago, remain to be cher

A California Story.
In the early mining days of California
there stood at the foot of the hill, not
many miles from Nevada, one of those
rough-built gaming houses so common
throughout the mining sections of the
territory. A description of this struc

wuu a large auooo nrepiace on the ,

trance. On the large stone hearth
burned a wood fire, giving to the room j
a cheerful appearance. On the front I

inclined to think that many women
want to shirk unpleasant work and do

without murmur cr complaint, hoping
for the best, and content with the allot
