criglnal musical Instrument has recent
ly been constructed at Milan, namely,
an organ whose p'pee, instead of being
made of metal, consist of paper-pulp.
Its history, ruys ti e C 1 estr (Eng.)
Vvwier, is quite curious. 1'ather
Giovanni Crispl lti(?ghino having
learned that the parish of the Incora
nata, at Milan, was destitute of mus e
for the iCices, conceived the Idea of Ie
vistng a cheap material that would per
mit of constructing organs uuJer such
loiiditions that the most unpretending
communities could purchase one of
these instruments. This monk, who
hud passed his life In poverty, was
hampered by a lack of money, and not
withstauding his efforts to carry outh s
undertaking was beginning t despair
of success, when he had the fortune to
n.eet an artisau, Luigi Colombo, who
uuilerstood the roustructljn of the in
strument, and was goxl enough to aid
him in carrying out his dt sign. They
both went resolutely to work, and
tinally In June, lScO, finished the in
strument in question. Unfortunately,
by reason of lack of funds, they could
not exceeJ 22 registers, 41 ;eda!s, and
1.-W0 pipes. The final result, however.
Is extremely interesting, since it is gen
erally agreed that the instrument pos
sesses creat power, and a sweetness of
lone not found in organs hitherto con
s'.ructed.

WHAT DREAMS MEAN.
Scienc Explains Sjoie l'uxzling Phe
nomena. r"rom time immemorial dreams have
been t!e womlerUnd of waking hours",
say the Lonton Aroxj. Hope and
fer have wrought fieiu into their own
f.bric. Superstition has seized upon
them and worked up a curious ritual
of "dreams that go by contraries." of
''dreams of the morulna: light," of
dreams with significance, oouie of
which seem natural enough, while to a
few of those apparently most arbitrary,
science herself has offered a certain
amount of explanation.
Dreaming is an experience which
niiy be called common to humanity,
though it varies s.) wiJely in different
individuals that in a few exceptional
cas.s it is abso'utely unknown. Cer
tainly dreams are oiten maje of mate
rials very madt quate to their Cnishe l
results. Abercromlle relates that dur
ing aua'aiui of a French invasion in
K linburtj ll had been arranged that
the first lutiinjtion of the enemy's
approach was to be the Griug of a gun
trom the castle.
A certain gentleman, a xea'ous tjI
unteer, retired to bed, dreamed that he
heard this gun, went out and witnessed
and joined in the proceedings of ths
troops. At this junctu e be was
awakened by his .to in a great fright,
she having had a similar dream, ll
was a'ceiUirir-J that the falling of a
pair of tongs in an upper etia-noer wa
the common origin of th dieain in
two minils aireaJy predi.spised to the
same line of fancy. Anottier instance
s Kiven of a person sleep. ng In a room
where a flatiron was allowed to scorch
a woolen g i merit. The sleeper dreamed
that the l.uuse was burned down hi) J
Lhat shn could not escape because all
her clothes were destrojed.
A geutleman, who, be I ore retiring
to sleep, had been reading a book 01
picturesque travel, dreamed that be
was journeying across the Kocty
Mountains He was attacked by two
Mexicans, and after a gailaut uirht was
taken prisuuer. li s captors believed
him to be the posses-or of secret Ire is-
ure, and In order U make lain reveal
its whereabouts, put hlui to the tor
ture of stripping bis fitt auJ holding
them to a tire.
Waking with a cry of ajony, he
dltcovemd that his hot water bottle
bad esca;ed from its tl tnnel swathinzs
aud that the und ie t e.it of bis toes
hail coujured up all the lost of the
s'.o. v.
A Frenoh plnsij'.oglst caused many
curious experiments to be maoe ou
h.m-H.lf Caring sWp. hese experi
ments took th-; form of trilling physical
sensation', which produced almost in
variably a wonderful exaggerated effect
on the sleein min 1. Thus a feather
tickling the l'P was converted Into
the horrible punishment of a mask of
pitch being applied to the face. A
bottle of eau tie cologne held to the
nose sent lnni into a ureani of a per
fumer's shop In Cairo. A pinck on
the neck rcilll the days of bis boy

plyln a blister to that region.
One authoiity declares that in a
dream he made a voyage to India,
spending several days in Calcutta, con
tinued his journey in Egypt. Tlsited
the cataracts and pyr tniids, and held
confidential iutervies w.th Mahomet
All, Cleopatra and aUdin, the whole
journey appareully occui'ying several
mouths, but he had slept only an hour.
Scientific writers admit that there Is
a type of dream in which coming
physical d.seas9 or disaster is shad
owed forth some bodily sensation,
perhaps too slight to be noticed by the
subject when awake, yet contriving to
impress itselt iusom symbolic fjrru 011
the sleeping mind. The more striking
Instances of this sort may serve to ex
plain how, in some les-ier degree cer
tain symbols are likely to attach them
selves to certain painful seusatious or
conditions, until at last they are fin
ally accepted lis mysterious pas?a;es of
evlL
Conrad Gesner, the eminent natural
ist, dreamed that be was bitten ou the
left side by a venomous serpent. In a
short time a s-vere carbuncle appeared
on the very sHt, terminating bis life
in the spa?e of three days. Another
scientific man, who dreamed of being
bitten by a biajk cat, also suffered lu
the same way.
A learued Jesuit, author of many
erudite theological works saw one night
In his sleep a man laying his hand upon
his chest, who announced to him that
he would soon die. lie was then in
perfect health, but was shortly atter
carried off by a pulmonary disorder.
A lady w ho bad a dream in which
she saw all ot jects dim aud obscured
by a mist was soon after attacked by a
disease of the eye, or which that was a
symptom.
A. dream of a great ere, in which the
sleeper himself seemed to be consumed,
was followed soon after by an attack ot
lutlammation or the brain. Apoplexy,
epilepsy anil stmll.tr diseases are oileii
preceded by frightful dream.--, in which
the sleeper feels Limseir sca ped by In

So f ull of limrful drenns, of iljr !8UtaI
should be treated as "warnings" m the
truest seuse of the word as sent by
Nature to foretell impending eviis
wnich skill and wisdom may be able to
avert. .
Thus, ir science has dispelled such
old wives' fables as that to dream of a
marriage signltied a death, or to dream
or a cat meant to meet a foe, she has
certainly added mysteries and terrors of
ber own to the subject. One learned
man has actually tried to systematize
these subtle premonitions to mace
them more available for use and guid
ance. In his opinion
-"Lively dreams are in general a sign
of the excitement of nervous action.
"Solt dreams are a sign of a hlight
irritation of the head; otlen in nervous
fevers announcing the approach of a
favorable crisis.
"Frightful dreams are a sign of a
il.tarniinatlon Of blood to the head.
"Dreams about blood and red objects

Dreams of distorted forms are fre
quently a sign of obstructions and dis
eases of the liver. .
"Dreams in wh'.oli the patient im

indicate disease in that limb.
Dreams about death often precede
apoplexy, which is connected with de

An educated and tery sensible laly
hml been through a rather fatlttuing
social day. On retiring to bed she soon
fell asleep and presently dreaa.ed that
an old man, clothed In black, ap-nrmu-hed
her. holding out an Iron
rr,in apparently of enormous weight.
At he draw near she recognized the
MIFFLINTOWN,
features of her father, who tad been
dead for many years. He addressed
her thus My daughter, during my
lifetime I was forced to wear th.s
crown. Death relieved me of the bur
den, but it now descends to yon" He
placed it on her bead and gradually
disappeared. Immediately she Telt a
weietit and tightness about ber trow.
Further, to add to her torture, the rim
of the crown was studded on the inside
with sharp points, which wounded ber
forehead so tint blood ran down her
face. She awoke az'tatel and excited,
but-otherwise quite well, and fount
she bad been asleep little more tTmn
half an hour. On tailing asleep again
the dream was repeated, with the ad
ditional circumstance that the appari
tion of her father now reproached hr
for unwillingness to wear the crown.
When she awoke azaln she found she
had been asleep for three hours. Again
she returned to bed, and the dream was
repeated In broad day light.
Me now rose and made her toilet.
Going over the circumstances of ber
dream, she recollected baring heard
ber father say fiat during his youth,
sp--nt in a d stunt land, be bad been
sabject to epileptic convulsions conse
quent on ai accident, and that he had
bi-en cured by an operation ot trephin
ing. On a sister entering her room she
proceeded to narrate the plcture;qm
vision which ha 1 naturally made such
an impression on her memory.
While thus engaei she suddenly
ave a shriek, became unconscious and

Chri-teiiins Arnettiyst Mountain.
Amethyst Mountain Is situated upon
the Ea-it Fork of the Yellowstone, In
trie National 1'ark, and was so named
by the late Trofessor F. V. Hayden in
1ST2, uudr the following circum
stances: The mean party of H.iydeu's
Geotogtral .Survey were camped in
Cache Vailey, while l'rofessor Iltyiien,
r l.liam l.lacKoiore, cur English
guet, and a few otheis. male a bur
redtiip to tl e headwaters of Clark's
ForJ and Shield's Kiver. Daring their
absence, the remainder of the party
weie emploed In exploring the vicinity
of our camp. In company with Dr.
1'Iatt, we went up the East Fork some
six or e.clit miles, and. as was our
usual custom, climbel a rather huh
mountain, south ot the river a couple
of miles perhap. Here we found the
summit covered with petrilied trees,
some thirty or forty feet long. Upou
another portion of the summit were
many othed petrilied trees slid stand
ing upright where thi-y grew; some
were found to be, by actual measure
ment, teu feet In diameter. The next
day. In company with Professor Wake
del" J, 1 returned to this same peak, and
coutiuued my explorations. It was
during this day's search that I turned
'ver a large se di'in of a petrilied tree
.vhich had beeu hoilotr, but now was
tilled with beautif ul crystal of ame
thyst! It was a beautiful s1it, and
one long to be remembered. We Oiled
our sjddle-bacs and pouches with these
crystals, aud started for camp. It was
a Mr. loane who first met us, and
seizing a god sized specimen, went
shouting through cimp, 'Amethyst!
Amethyst! Tne entire camp g ithered
arjund us in admiration of tne crys
tals, and each secured a goodly number
for hi nut If. From this time forth.

The Minnesota Jotf.
Few people who consult the map of
the Uuited Slates have failed to notice
the tiiaugular strip of laud extending
some distance North of the parallel
which constitutes the boundary line
bHween tlu West central parts of
Canada and the United States. This
territory is, tor the greater part, situa
ted in Eake of the Woods, but it In
cludes also a small strip of land. The
area in question is called the 'Minne
sota Jog," aud its histoiy is an inter
esting one.
That part of the boundary line
situated between the Great Lakes and
Lake of the Woods lies along a chain
of small lakes aud portages, and, by
the terms of a former agreement, ex
tended from the mou'.h of Kainy Like
Kiver to the Northwest corner of Lake
or the Woods, which was, at the time
of the agreement, thought to be on the
forty-ninth parallel. V hen, bowever,
the treaty of 1813 was completed, the
tHHindary West of the Lake of the
Woods was decided upon in the follow
ing terms: 'lt is agreed that the line
drawn from the most Northwestern
point of Lake of the Woods along the
forty-ulutti parallel 01 lauiuae, or. 11
the said point shall not be In the forty -ninth
parallel, then from a point on a
line drawn due North or South until
said line shall Intersect the forty-ninth
parallel, and from the point of Inter
section V estward m w w to the ctony
(Kocky) Mountains."
Uut the jsoita western point or xaae
of the Woiids proved to be twenty-six
miles North of the forty-niutn parallel,
so a beginning point was made twenty
six miles South of the Northwestern
poiut or the lake, leaving the triangular
si rip which, except Alaska, is the most
Northerly part of the Uuited States.
A Itcn-arkable Woman.
Captain Davis, if the Eve masted
schooner Governor Ames, recently
built at Waldborough, Me., had a re
markab'e mother, says the Leicittown
Me.) Journal. She was not content
with bringing n? her own eleven sons
and daughters la the way they should
go, but adopted two or three otbei
children. She was tne doctor of the
whole neighborhood. Fhyslctans were
few and inexperienced, as Is usual it
small country places, and Mrs. Davu
was always sent for in a hurry whec
auyone was sick. Many were th
men she saved from death. Ojo man,
given up for dead by everybody else, it
now a very wealthy citizen of a West
ern St ite. In one case a couple of met
carried ber a half mile through snow
waist deep to the sick-bed ot a friend.
Not every sort of industry tends U

JUNIATA COUNTY.
A STORI OP HEXItlC CUYY.
flow a Little Girl Was Made to
mire a Great Statesman.
Ad.
A lady whose father was a United
States Senator in the time of Henry
Clav, tells a pleasing incident of tbat
great statesman's heart, and of the
winn ng way ho had with children,
wuo felt themselves irresistibly drawn
toward bm.
The la ly was then a girl of about 13
years and was staying at the hotel In
which Mr. Clay bad rooms In Wash
ington. Her father and Mr. Clay were
opposed to each other politically, and
the lit le girl supposed tbat they must
naturally despite each other personally.
Accordingly, she took a delight in say
ing childish unkind things about Mr.
Clay.
She learned many of the doggered
rhymes of which every political cam
paizn is prolific, rhymes in which can
didates for oaice are held up to ridicule.
These souts she sang spitefully in the
presence of her young associates who
were lrlendly to Mr. Clay. What was,
there ore. ber amazement when her
father cams walking into their little
hotel parlor one evening arm in arm
with Mr. Clay!
My dear," he said to her. "this Is
Mr. Clay."
I am always glad to make friends
with the children," said Mr. Clay, as
be took bis unknown enemy by the
bands and sat down by her side.
Her father was called from the room
for a few minutes, and during tbat
time Mr. Clav completely won bis
enemy over by his kindness and charm
of manner, and when he left her to
talk with her father she watched bim
with adoring eyes.
Then her conscience suddenly smote
lur.as she recalled all tbe unkind things
she had sail about Mr. Clay, who wai
uow to Ler the personiiication of all
that was good and great.
She recalled those doggered lines
with shame and regiet. lie lug a very
conscientious little girl, she leit that
she must make all the reparation
wiihiu ber power for what she felt was
a great wrong. &he therefore followed
bim into the ball when he went away,
and, going shyly and tearfully foi ward,
said:
"Mr. Clay I I"
He turned around and said kindly,
"Well, my dear, what is ltV
Wny I I've been a very very
naughty girl, indeed. I I've said
said awful th'ugs about about you,
but I'll never, never say them a?aiu!"
and she began to weep, while Mr. Ciay
said:
And what have you said?"
On I've sung dreadful songs about
you that awful oue that says:
O'l. If.-nrj- Clue.
You'd belter eo home,
An.l tiiTe you'd t-citrr may,
"And"
Tears choked her utterances, and, to
her surprise, Mr Clay, instead of aniit
lng ber to the ground, burst Into
laughter. From tbat day t the end
of his life, the penitent offender aurt
Mr. Clay weie tLe warmest Iriendiv. ,
AMONG THE TARTARS.
(low Tbey Enjoyed the Sisht of an
American Artist's Artificial Teetb.
The artist who accompanied Mr.
Georpe Keunan on bis trip through
Siteiia has been In Boston lately, aud
be tells many interesting stories of his
eyperiei.ee, and among them one which
lii effected a lodgment In the Lis
tener's slippery memory. The artist
was engaged one bilate.ing day, some
where on the outskirts ot Turbary, in
niak ng a sketch of a group of pictures
que Tartar. SUU other Tartars ami
ably gathered around bim as be was at
work. Inspecting bis umbrella. Racing
curiously at the sketch and walking
about. As the Tartars are armed to
the teeth tbe artist thought it best to
be auiiab'e, and smiled a broad and
propitiatory smile upon the party.
Whereupon the entire party smiled
broadly in return, aud snowed gieat
inteie-t in him. lie rtmled again,
more broadly still. Whereupon the
Tartars came around In front of bim
and began to go through the moat ex
traordinary autici. laughing still. The
artist gathered somehow that be was
expected to laugh too. and proceeded
to gratify their evident wish. The
more be laughed the moie they
laughed, and several big Tartars came
around in front of him and lay down
on the ground, ro ling and tumbliu;.
Tbe artut laughed nutil his twj al
most cracked. The thing filially be
came a little alarming, aud call.ng bis
factotum - and interpieter the artist
bade him Mud out of the bead mau of
the Taitar party what these extraordi
nary autics were all about.
His Excellency," said the Tartai
in explanation, "smiled upon us, and
showed us something which we nevet
s iw before teeth made partly of gold.
And as the men of my tribe saw that
bis goldeu teeth were only to be seen
w Leu be laughed, they took all possible
ways to make bim laugh, and when
they roiled on the ground before hi-o.
it was only the belter to see into hit
mouth, aud behold the golden teeth.'
Don't Know Public Men.
The London populace Is slow to
recogn ze the features of a public man.
no matter bow fatuous be may be. I
met Mr. I'arnell one day coming out ol
the House of Parliament, and w
walked tor an hour or more through
the prlncipd streets of London talking
about Irish at" airs. I was amazed to
see lhat Irish leader was absolutely un
recognized, except by an occasional
personal friend.
We went through Fall MalL St.
James street, Piccadilly, aud many of
the other prominent streets, but no
where was the face of oue of tbe most
distinguished and notable politicians li
the empire recognized.
Lord Randolph Churchill and Lord
Eeresford, two of the most populai
young men in British politics eithei
of whom Is nearly fifty by this time, 1
should judge met in front of th
Garden Club one afternoon and walkec
fur some distance toward Marlborougi
street through a crowd of euoi mou
proportions tbat was waiting to ret
the Frince of Wales start out in f ul
regalia to bold a drawing room for hi
royal mother.
Tbe crowd was quite ignorant of tbt
existence of either of the famous mei
who walkel along side by side, chat
ting in apparent confidence.
Gradual gtici are the only natural

'that only a bad little girl would be

Well, I plead guilty to the crime, espe

shaking out her draperies, are Farmer

At your service, answered Jack,
brilliantly, although, as you seem to

That is pardonable. I'm sure.' she
replies, putting on ber bat. My name

with a little nod; 'but my cousin Btill

a low bow, 'most happy to form a new

A formal Introduction would t rather

Indeed it was most becoming in

Oa. ves. indeed you are. contra
dicts jack eagerly.
Lead oa. tl eul' she cries gayly.
Indeed, she is looking very pretty
and she kuows it roue belter with
her golden hair slightly dishevelled,
and her cheeks flushed to a becoming
pink. So they walk along a path at
the edge of the field, and passing
through a little gate, they enter a
smootn green lane, from which they
emerge directly on to a velvety lawn
behind a quaint old house. Turning
43 the left, they come upon what this
eccentric young woman pronounces a
perfect paradise.
Mr. Kowden walks aoont ruthlessly
breaking off great spikes of tuberoses,
tall Ull lea. and clusters of dewy helio
trope, until she protests
Do not pluck yonr Cowers with
such a wasteful hand,' she cries, and
be, having gathered all he can well
carry, turns and speaks to a gardener,
who walks away, returning with a
basket in which Mr. Kowden tastefully
arranges tbe flowers and fruit.
You are an artist,' she says appreci
atively, 'but I must leave this Eden.
Indeed. If Madam utundy exists in so
lovely a place, I fear she is already busy
with my name even now.'
Since you will not enter my bouse.
you will, at least, let me return with
you and carry this basket witb you?'
Very welL, she says shyly, at the

bis honest heart beat a little faster.

half way down the steps, and assum

Jack, shaking bands with her. 'Miss

Cousin Kate runs to gat Jack the most

in a loose Greek knot- men tne

until be thinks ot tis lonely home with
a shudder and dread to go back to its

Fairy.' said Kate, after be bad re
luctantly taken bis leave, 1 know it is
rather a necessity with you to flirt
with every man you meet, but go

call yon Mist Ellewayne, from which 1
infer that you forgot to meniicn tne
fact tbat your husband is in Europe.'
It is easier to forget tht, says
Fairy, with a wicked little laugh, 'than
tbe fact that be will be horns in a month
or so.'
It will be seen that Mrs. Ellewayne
was not madly in love wun ner nus
band. She bad married liim for bis
money, vaguely trusting to bis advanced
age to leave her a widow; but be bad

Why. dear Kate, exclaims Fairy,
sharply, 'I have bo serious designs ou

avoid me, as 1 am considered danger

The golden summer days sup gently

flows through the village; and it be
comes quite the regular thing for him
to spend some part of tbe day at Airs.
Jackson's.
So time glides on, until Fairy thinks.
with a little sickening fear, tbat ber
husband will soon return, and she
determines tbat Jack must be told the
truth of ber position, for be is becom
ing a trifle awkward even for ber to
manage.
One day in early autnm a fishing ex
cursion is arranged, not by Jack, but
by Fairy, to which she has invited two
lady friends. Fairy thinking tbat in tne
presence ot others she can more enect
ively break tbe truth to Jack.
Fairy looks Innocently lovely In a
gray dress, with a Quaker-like fichu
crossed over her breast. A knot of
goldenrod and scarlet woodbine lends a
little color and ber big bat, with lu
nodding plumes, makes her irreslstably
lovely to poor Jack.
Tbey float gently down the stream.
Fairy sits with one band idly trailing
In tbe water; occasionally she glances
furtively at Jack, who Is looking very
big and handsome, and, out of bis
great love ror ber. he says nothing.
To tell tbe truth. Fairy is worr.ed as
to tbe result of her urtation, and way
down In tbe deaths ot her airy little
heart tbera is an atom of regret min
gied with tbe fear, for the hat learned
to care for Jack as much as It it possi
ble for ber to care for any one.
In the midst of ber reflections a big
wasp settles on ber wrist, and she.
woman-like, with a little cry, brushes
it awav. whereupon it stings her by way
of pro est, and she, with a moan of
anguish, holds out tbe injured aim to
Jack, who la on bit kneet beside ber lu
an instant, examining tbe absurd little
spot with an air ot proround aympatny.
Tbe band it to aott and warm that
before be knows what be it about, he
it kissing It 1 assionately. hit diaen
aged arm steals round her waist, and
be it madly pouring out hit love for
ner.
For an Instant or to tht feels www
less; she bat trusted to her cleverness
to avoid such a climax, but how was
she to know a homd wasp would sting
her.
Tremblingly she re 'eases herself.
Do not address such words to me.
Mr. Kowden,' she says, as severely as
she can, from fright.
W hy may I not tell you how I love
you? And you yon will love me just
little, wdl you not. darling?' he
whispers.
No, nor she says, turning pale, for
she has burned ber own fingers In the
blaze she has kindled, 'lio. Jack, I
I cannot love you.'
Wby? cries Jack, excitedly; and
she, feeling that tbe hour baa come,
murmurs faintly:
Because 1 1 am already married 1'
Married !' gasps Jack. 'Are you mad?
Are you joking? Married I Good God!
Is It true?'
There is such a ring of anguish Is bis
voice that she turns away; she cannot
raeet his honest eyes.
' 1 es.' she whispers. 'It is tbe truth.
I thought you knew at first; then, wheu
touud you did not, 1 thought you
bad learned to care for me a little, and
was afraid to tell you, and so so '
And so.' says Jack, through his
teeth, 'and to you have made a fool of
me.'
The other two ladies were tilsnt
throughout this discussion. They had
anchored the boat near the bank of tbe
stream, where Jack had thought to find
a good fishing ground. One of the ladles
bad left the boat to relieve herseir ot
the cramped position occasioned by the
long ride, and was quietly seated on the
bank.
Fishing had do longer a charm for
Jack Kowden. Without another word
lie pulls tbe party with vigorous strokes
back to the landlug, where the other
two ladies leave them. lu utter silence.
Jack walks to the house with ber,
where, with a profound bow, be turns
to leave.
O Jack!' she walls 'You don't
know bow I Buffer; won't you forgive
me?'
I have nothing to forgive,' returns
Jack, lightly, although the lines in his
forehead belta his words. A little flir
tation is always more or less interest
ing, especially in the country.
Just bere a carriage drives hastily
up tbe walk, from which Mrs. Jackson
alights. She is pale and agitated, and
as she sees Fairy she exclaims:
My dear. 1 have bad news for you,
but it may not be true; the Columbia,
on which Mr. Ellewayne sailed, is re
ported as lost, not a soul on board was
saved.'
With a cry of horror Fairy throws up
both hands and falls to the ground
Jack does not die. For awhile bis
appetite fails, aud he thinks very bit
terly of womankind in general. But
after some months bis mind recovers
its normal tone and be goes to pay a
visit to tome distant relativea, wuere
be is much soothed by tbe friendship 01
a dark-eyed, gentle girl; and, as hearts
are lightly caught in tbe rebound, with
the return of autumn be finds himself
repeating tbe old story, aud as Gracie
bides ber blushing face on his breast.
he thanks God that his life baa not
been wiecked by passion exe he
learned the meaning of true love.
He bas never seen Fairy since
has
her
husband's death ror tbe rumor
was
correct but sbs has not rorgttten him;
and now that ber term ot mourning
bas expired, she sends bim a Utile note,
bidding bim, should be be in town, to
call on bit true-hearted Fairy.'
Sue hat not forgotten ber old lover
nor bis large bans account; and then
she really does like him better than
any one else.
Jack laughs as be reads ber note.
Soon after he goes to tbe city aud drives
to Fairy's bouse. She comes forward
to meet bim in the prettiest way, both
bands outstretched, and tbe sweetest of
lavender robes floating about ber.
I knew you would not forget me.
Jack, dearl' she cries, sweetly.
Once having seen you, it would be
impoaible to forget.' said Jack, with a
tender glance.
But, come, sit down, wheeling an
easy-chair toward bim. 'Tell me what
you have been doing all these months.
That Is a long story. I shall have
to reserve It for some future time.'
Fairy sighs and pensively toys with
tbe ribbons of ber dress.
Besides.' adds Jack, 'if you will ex
cuse my abruptness, I have a favor to
ask ot you.'
Anything for you, Jack' dear.' with
a melting glance.

An ashen pallor settles over Fairy's
face; she tries to smile, but there is a
drawn, tense look about the muscles ot
ber mouth and a baffled expression
creeps into ber eyes; nevertheless, she
bears up bravely
I am so sorry. Jack, but a horrid
engagement keeps me in all tbe morn

After some further conversation Jack
takes bit leave. At be steps in tbe
