Cecil ltavmond had fromised to look up his irran.imotl)nr and cousin, nnc cheer and chat with them during thi weary waiting time but they saM nothing of dim, though Geraldine kepi a look out with an eagerness at whicl she was he:-elf surprised. She had seen Cecil only the eveninj oe'Vn-e, an 1 he was coming to Moun' street after their return from tin palace, so why should she care a o J fneetinjf him ajain in the interval? She did not know that she was ex perienfinj, even in the midst of hei splendor, a touch of that forlornne which only thos - can understand who havinsi been brought up in a confine! and litnitel sphere, where eve' y ob.'eo has been Irom childhood lamil ar. ar sud :enlv transported into avast, eetb Ins. restlesi mass of human beinjrs. The past fo tn'ght had almost mad Geraldine imagine that she had out lived the fee.iujr. The first shock hac been ot ovnr: she had leen uo anc dov.i) lion I street und llejrent street and ha I fancied he.se;f at home insun dry retorts of fa-hion but this pageant go completely and entirely unlike any thiu..r sha inid ever bei'ore been a wit ess it"., threw her bacK a?aiu. siuch endless numoers of line folks jne e :ui.aes. rine everything!

It was, it could bj but most foolish o fancies, and she wa.- annoyed with her self that what, must perforce only lx the cold a.-hes of an old as-ociatiot should hai o ha 1 the power to stir thi bloo 1 in her little tin,'-r; bt she coull not help it. she thought she wouli Dave liiced to see him, and would hav iked him to see her - and that was all .s for Ccc.l. he was watched foi more eagerly than ha had ever beei lfote. and even granny was annoyed by the inatten.ion -since it would hav been n'.eaant to have had their mac Ut talk to as other people had. Th carriage in front an l the carriage be hin l had each a little ijroup surround ing its win .ows, and Cecil, who shouk (lave sa.ud his grandmother from thi rnoiuiny of beinjj altogether unsough' aiid unattended, was nowhere to tx 6een. lie had made a mistake, as wai fully and satisfactorily explainai af terwards when the explanation dii no good to any one , but, in the mean .ime. the ladies bad nobody. 4.(nee inside the palace s;ates. how ver, and ru-hin up the broad stair ca.-e and thro iizh the great vacant rooms, cafiny forgot everything- els in the exhilaration o.' discovering ani pointing out to Geral-iine their gooc ;trtune in bein early enough to so cure chairs in the very front row o' the only room in which chairs at al were to be hud. It was t uickly tilled, anil then gran oy bude her young charge mte the crush, the ht-at, and the discomfort o those who, shut buck by the intlexiblt barrier, now poured faster and fastei into the great saloon behind, till ll looked a mere surging mass of head' nd plumes. Furthermore, granny explained th jfie ante chamber in front, at preaenj enty, who e recesses she and Geral Oina could view at their ease, althougt they ii their turn were debarred froa entering therein, would presently b (all of the happy eople who possessed the roveted entree -the rijfht of en trance by a special door, and of priori ty of presentation and that as the assembled, it would bo-an amusing lit tle pantomime to watch them tripping hither and thither, greeting each oth er, and disp aying their finery "And lookicg at us. my dear, as they would it inferior things." proeedea the old ii,v nodding ber head merrily. "Thej .ir not in reality any very great peo ple at J1-principally oTcials and their wiwe althojgh.of course. ther lire a few noteworthy folks amon them, such as the ambassadors anc foreign princes: but they think a great deal ol themselves on these days. Ms Aunt Catherine, your great aunt, had the entrea: and 1 remember so wel' what a point she made of never order ing her carriage on Court days before 2 o'clock. A little piece of bravado, my dear. She liked the neighbo s W jee. that was all." So the old lad. prattled on. liy-and-by she had another pleasure. As the assembled grouns settled them selves down, and had time to looU around and take note of their surronnc ings, one after another came up fronc behind, pleased to recognize an old friend or axjuaintance in the hand K)me, stately form which tat so erect la uont of all, and with whom th lovely ffirl at her side was so evidently associated. -, - Then it would be all joyful greetings, nd renewal of old ties, and eager in auiries. , . What had she been about all thesa ears? Taking charge of her orphan grandchild. What had brought her back into th fforld? Whereupon the orphan grand child would be presented with an ait ; '.mmistakably meant. ' Here if : sufficient ir everything. ' nbaps granny d never oeeu oocp-.er m ner lite tnan aurlng that hour. She was quick enough to note the effect in everv instance, ana to have, moreover, a shrewd suspicion aa to the cause of the various difference In the reception of her intelligence. If it chanced, for instance, that tha recipient were the luckless chape on of half a rio en p ain and portionless damsels, could he forbear to look upon Geraldine. b.-aut if.il, wealthy, fortu Ba:e, without a momentary enyy'.. . again, a troublesome boy, "son, nephew, or thriftless young cousin had to be provided for, would not envy be ex changed for covetness Ana it was only if the stranger were abo e all such considerations, and freed fro n all such encumbering rememb.-ances, that there would follow the impartial and dispassionate avowal, 'She is a great beauty. Do let me congratulate you!' whereat the old lady would bean igain. The time of waiting did not see n to her long at all; while even Ceraldine had so much to see and notice and mark for her own reflection afterwards, that he was quite taken by surprise at last when the stir began within the ante chamber, and ere many minutes had passed it had thinned so fast that their jwn barrier was withdrawn, and she round herself being greatly but irre istib y urged forward. "Keep by me, love; keep by me,'' whispered her grandmother with su per tl nous caution, for the two could hardly have parted company if they would: and in tne excitement of the moment Geraldine had no time to feel t ashful or nervous ere she found her ?elf moving on in single file close be hind granny, and aware that some one else was equally close behind her. Beneath an arched doorway in front, t seemed to her that within every few seconds a halt was made, causing a series of jerks to the fair procession, and the first idea that occurred to her inexperienced mind was that at this point the g eat event of the day took place: but drawing nearer, the notion was dispolled. No; trie gorgeous, peacock-like trains were only being spread beneath that doorway, anu a sea of neads all at once became visible be yon I, while a monotonous voce rose ever and again, as one and another passed in and was lost to view. But what was it, then, that attracted every sye, and turned every head, as 'each air creature sai'.el along over the polished iloor towards that goal be j ond' Alack-adayl it was but a mir ror and the merry-hearted little Jerry of old all at once sprang to life again within the bosom of the elegant de butnate, and she had enough ado no; to laugh o-tright at the canning little trait oi human nature. The laugh, however, had to be post ( oned to a more convenient season, for now granny was making her grand, old-fashioned curtesy, and takiug her lull time over it, ere she was hurried along by the unsympathuing offlcials, who would scarce permit her to make i reverent exit in what she con-idered i seemly manner - and next it was 1 ieraldine's own turn. it was said that the Queen smiled upon her. i'erhaps IlerGracious Maj esty had heard something of the young girl's story and remembered it. for it is well known how conscientiously the presentation lists are scanned and in quired into in tne highest quarter; but, at any rate, many others looked, and noticed, and whispered, to one another that day. Jerry might very well have had hei- young head turned, had she given heed to it all. She did not. She was full of the fun ot the thing whsn she gotho:ne at five o clock, very full of how this one had looked, and how she couid have wished for another view of her Sovereign, and had been so confused and anxious at the supreme moment that, indeed, she could scarcely say she had had a dis tinct view at all: but with the sprightly chatter there was no word that was not CI easant to hearken to -natural, lova le. innocent. The Kaymond girls, the. Ethel and Alicia of old, were in the drawing room, waiting, all impatience to hear how Geraldine had tared, to see how she looked, and next, to tell of their own presentation davs, to compare ex periences, or note alterations. They bad not a word to say against their cousin afterwards. sne naa oeea neither elated nor self-important, nor self-conscious - she had been just her own self, and even her Aunt Charlotte owned that Geraldine was wonderfully little spoilt, all things considered. What Cecil had thought he kept tf himself. He had also been in waiting, full ol explanations and apologies, which, as we have sa'd, fell now somewhat flat. It bad been the new liveries which had upset his calculations. His grand mother had omitted to tell him either about them, or her smartnewcarrlage. and never having seen the full dress livery of the Campbells before, he had forgotten that it would be ture to be ir use on the present occasion. But I heard you had been there ah right," he concluded. 'I met a man who had seen you. Your old friend, Beilen en, Geraldine. Oddly enough. I rtumbled across bim to-day. though we had not met for ages." 'Indeed!" said his grandmother, somewhat coldly. "We did not see him. nor any one we knew while out side, did we, Geraldine?" "Ke saw you, however," replied Ce cil. intercepting his covsin's reply "lie was on horseback, and could not get near enough to catch yoi.r eye; but he had a good look at you, and said be should have known Geraldine any where." "She is a good deal changed, never theless," said Geraldine's grand mother, still reserved ani stately, and the tone in which the remark was made conveyed this: "If any person now thinks to find in my granddaugh ter an unsophisticated, impulsive child, to be safely talked nonsense to and played with, that person is very much mistaken." Meanwhile the subject of discourse had affected in the prettiest manner possible to hear nothing of it. To Cecil s opening sentence she had, indeed, accorded the proper tribute of attention, since he had directly ap pealed to her: but presently she had found herself obliged to turn aside, and found a seat for her Aunt Char lotte and answer her inquiries, and show her the lace upon her train and on her bodice, and neither Cecil nor his grandmother had supposed she bar caugnt a word of their collojuy. Of course she bad, and it bad been nusic in her ears. She now just cared enough about ,he meiory of Beilenden, on e so ieeplv, pasuonately beloved, to re oico that he had witne sed her hour of tri linph. and had not shared it. She wanted no more of him. He had seen her, and seen her as she .ould not help knowing, at her radiant lest, and had been compelled to be lold only fro-n afar, unable even to :1a im recognition. What booted it to reason out the natter? She would not stop to beth nk jerse'.fthat this view of it was scarcely t plain and matter-of-fact one, that there had in reality been no possible reason why Beilenden should not have made his way to her side had he taken the pains to do so. No, no, no: it had been the omen of the fut re in store tor both. She should be seated aloft on hei ;hrone of youth and beauty, with all the world at her feet and he - he whe bad despised and deserted her should 'e the outcast who could not even draw near to bask in the sunlight ol her presence. It was a prc:ty little vista, was it not? CHAPTER X. CERALD1XE BEGINS TO PAT BACK. In London how esy we visit, and meet, ay pleasure's the theme, and sweet smiles are our treat; )ur morning's a round of good-humored de light. knd we rattle. In comfort, to pleasure al niulit.' The presentation day bad been a Thursday. Cecil ltavmond declined to lunch ic Mount street on the following Sunday is he hai done on the two previous ones, alleging an engagement; and it presently transpired that the engage ment was to breakfast with Sir Fred erick at his club, alter which he pro posed bringing Beilenden to call or bis grandmother and cousin. From the speaker's manner it wai jvident that a few civil words from a man with whom it was creditable to be tm good terms, had undone all the past: and the way in which he Referred to Beilenden and quoted Beilenden dur ing the next five mi nates recalled the Did time when no one had stood on a higher pinnacle in his good graces. Tne very air with which he made his lurther proposition showed that he felt tecure of its being accepted. Now, poor old granny did not alto gether like this: and for two reasons would fain that nothing ot the kind bad been suggested. She wished to aave nothing further to do with the fue.-t who she could but feel had been mgrateful and neglectful, and she Had old-fashioned views on tbe eub ect of Sunday afternoon calls. Cecil was himself of course welcome; jut she would have preferred his not beginning to bring friends with him. As for Geraldine. the word "bring ing" was enough for her. A man that required to be "brought." A man, who, even after knowing that his former friends and hostesses were pvithin a few streets of him, could not f himself step across the way, as it rere, but required to be "brought!" An indignant sense of this was on ;he verge of escaping, when she, how jver, recollected herself: and recol lecled as Cecil's face told her, only just n time. Ves, her cousin was certainly on the ratch actually looking out to see whether any traces of the old Same remained, t'o lish, absurd boy. tiid he not know her better than that? Did he imagine that because he could be won over by the first soft sentence the was to be equally poor-spirited? She burned with eharao for him How easily he had pardoned every thing: how pleased he now looked to lit and chatter there about bis friend, ind his friend's club, at 4 his Sunday breakfast! Granny was gently demur ring to the Sunday breakfast, well knowing what it meant; and Cecil, ever ready to conciliate, wss expl":nint' ind excuainjr, and, aorauver, aosurMr ibe old lady that it was net bis halt 10 accept such Invitations, that he did K, in fact, very seldom indeed, but ihat he had not liked to refr.se on the present occasion, in case it might have looked as if - she would understani as i some resentment were still harbored irhich should be alike beneath a Ray nond and a Campbell. "We must take the world as we End It," the young man was philosophically Brguing. "we should simply make our selves ridiculous if we appeared to have thought so much of a trifle. Bei lenden is a careless fellow, and after be had left us he had so much to do ana to think ol that we passed out of his memory, tfut he meant no harm, and he was' as friendly as possible to 11 e to-day. You would not have me bppear uncharitable as well as unso phisticated?" he wound up. TO BE CONTINUED. American Stories. Robert Barr, the "Luke Sharp" oi Th Detroit Free Press, and the digni tie 1 associate editor of a London maga zine, says that Americans have all the Ideas, but Englishmen have all the Clnista. He says that the Americac vho goes to London must guard hit ttories, if he ever expects to use them, as they will be taken out of his mouth and made into copy before he knows it Over here a literary man tries all of lis ideas upon his friends before he thinks of printing them on paper. They are polished by being knocked about. Hopkinson Smith made up "Col Carter of Cartersville" out of stories hi had been telling for ten years. At American would as soon have thought of stealing his spoons as his stories tc make money out of. But in England Uiey are not so squeamish. Mr. Barr says that an American au thor came to him one day and said Well, Barr, I've told you that yarn'ol mine that I meant to work into a novel once too often. One of the men you introduced me to has just brought it out In a magazine." Philadelphia Press. Perfectly Fresb. Milk frozen solid in cans is now solo m France. It has been discovered that milk can be kept perfectly fresh in a frozen condition for more than a month. It is frozen by means of an ordinary ice-making machine, and dis patched by road, rail, or steamer to its destination. The customer who pur chases the frozen milk has simply to thaw it when it is required lor um. Some men are born grjat, some achieve greatness an i som ) stand well with both ft-ot ions. There are plenty of people who are very pleasant while they can have their own way. A Christian is in a dangerous place when be does not feel that he needs the help of God. This is the age when women are making everj effort to do what men bave done. One of the snprising things of this world is the respect a worthless man has for timself. A business seldom amounts to enongh to give all the employes the credit they claim. The people who have the soft?tt carpet to kneel on often do the least praying.

A few weeks ago, after I havi preached In ana of tha ebnrenea in this city, a man ataggered up on the pulpit stairs, maudlin drunk, saying, "I am one of the reformers that were elected to high offl ie at tho last lection." I got rid of that '-great reformer" as aoon as I could, but I did not get rid of the impression that a man like that would cure the abominations ot New York about a soon as smallpox would cure typhoid fuver or a buzzsnw render Haydn's "Creation."

Many people most have noticed a big wagon, built after the fashion of a Doited States mail wagon, onlj the front and rear being wide open, the outside covered with time tables and the inside fall of pigeonholes contain ing the same character of literature. This outfit is seen going from one hotel and railroad station and ferry house to another daily. One of the agile young men jumped out and dis appeared within the place. He darts to the rack containing time tables, and tnakes a hasty investigation. Having ascertained just what cases ar ex hausted, he returns and gets a fresh supply from the wagon and dis tributes them in the rack. The wagon then goes on to the next place. This work nsed to be done by spe iial men of the companies interested, and kept upward of sixty men con stantly busy. Now the thing is so systematized that three men cover over one hundred railway and steam ship lines. There are a good many Dlaces where these time tables are to Ee found, though possibly few people know of this scheme of distribution. It is the enterprise of a Pittsburg man. He also has foreign railways on his list. 2fow York Herald. The total mileage of electrical roads in operation in Europe at the end of 1893 was 18S, of which a third was in Germany.

A CITY OP INTEREST. QUEBEC, ITS HISTORY AND AS SOCIATIONS. inco tne Bulwark of French Power, It Paaaed After Memorable Siegea Under Enajliahi Domination Some of Its Scenery. The City To-day. There are few cities In North Amer ica the history of which is more Inter esting than that of Quebec, and per haps none which are provided by na ture with such a line and spacious har bor. Originally intended and still maintained as a fortress, it has played an Important part In the military an nals of North America. For more tnan a century It was the bulwark of French power on the continent, and then it passed Into English hands to become the Gibraltar of Great Brit ain's ascendancy. It has stood many memorable sieges, nnd against Its walls have broken tho tides of French, Eng lish, Indian and American invasion. Before it, in 1750, the victorious Wolfe and the defeated Montcalam fell, and before It, too, the brave Montgomery, leading his scanty band of Americans, was instantly killed. The scars of war still remain, but tbe flourishing city of the St Lawrence Is unmindful of them In Its busy and extensive commercial nd industrial life. Quebec was founded In 1G0S by Sam jel de Champlaln, tho celebrated French geographer and navigator, and ho gnve to the beautiful sheet of wa- 5 -v m5- " FALLS OP StOXTMOHEXCr. ter Lake Champlaln the name it still bears. The early htatory of the settle ment Is tho struggle waged for exis tence. In a new and unsettled land, against the Inrontls of the savaso Iro quois, the Indian allies of the English colonists In what Is now tho United States, and the hereditary enemies of the Algonqulns, the friends and allies Df tho French. In those long nnd dis astrous wars England and France exchanged many cruel blows, the scars from which may never be wholly healed. In 1C29 Quebec fell Into the hands of the English, but three years later it was restored to the French by the treaty of St Gerniaiu-en-Laye, to Kether with the Ill-fated Acadian Te ainsula and Cape Breton. In 1000 It stood a memorable siege by Sir William Phlps, royal Governor of Massachu setts. Fhips was one of a family of 28 children and in JSS4. while In Eng land, was enabled to fit out an expedi tion in quest of a Spanish plate vessel, which was wrecked off the Bahamas. He succeeded in obtaining the treas ure in 10S7 and on his delivery of It $3,000,000 worth to the English treas ury he was knighted and made Gover nor of Massachusetts. Soon afterward he raptured Tort Itoyal, N. S., and em boldened by success attacked Quebec, lie was defeated, however, and after displaying himself, with Cotton Ma ther, lu the witchcraft trials was sum moned to England, where he died in lffito. Again In 1711 Quebec had nn almost providential deliverance from the fleet of Sir Horenden Walker, an English admiral. He set sail from Bos ton with a powerful force to capture Quebec nnd bring the providence into subjection to England. But eight transports, containing nearly l.otio men, were wrecked and lost on Eg; UOXUSIEST ERECTED TO WOLFE AND MONTCALM.

The following day the gallant French general died, rejoicing that he should not live to see the surrender of Que bec. Again in 1775 Quebec waa men aced by the Americana.

An ancient proverb very wisely rec ommends us to combine the useful with tho agreeable. The Invention of Indoor training machines for cyclists permits of putting this proposition In practice In tho happiest manner. For some time the question has been put whether In-door bicycle training can be made of benefit to anybody? This Is evidently what was asked by the au thor of the device shown in our engrav ing, and who, with much intelligence. and very oppositely, has discovered a practical process of preventing a very appreciable source of energy from remaining unemployed. In I1I3 system, the driving wheel, In stead of revolving Idly, is connected by an endless cord with the flywheel of a sewing machine or any other UTTIXO the bicycle to puactical use. small apparatus that requires a mod erate force to set It In motion. Owing to this arrangement each kick of the pedal Is utilized, ond the cyclist experiences the sweet satisfac tion of knowing that wbJo training himself In view of a coming race, he is also doing something useful. As may be seen, nothing could be better. But who would ever have expected to see the bicycle thus converted Into an np-j paratus of domestic and practical util ity? Scientific American. A FingerlPKS Family. In a Lincolnshire family in England, lives a family who suffer under the cu rious deformity of being lingeries. This peculiarity does not appear to be one of those freaks of nature wUlcii may appear In one individual, and not bo transmitted to the next generation. From what can be learned, the singu larity has existed in the family so fat as history or tradition extends, and there seems at present no signs of Its lying out. as the grandchildren are as devoid of fingers as their grandslre. The hands of this remarkable famllj present the appearance of having had the fingers amputated, or chopped oft roughly and unevenly below the second Joint, leaving a short stump. There Is no nnll or hard substnnce, and were tt not for the absents- of anything like a cicatrice a ciisual observer would con clude that the defect was due to an ac cident; but, as though nature had at tempted to compensate for the absence of fingers, the thumbs are abnormally large and strong. 1 ne family are lu other respects f ullj. endowed by nature, and do not appeal to suffer tbe disadvantages the absencd of ringers might be expected to entail One of thedaughters,aged20,can write sew, knit and is in every way ns dex terous and accomplished as other glrK of her age and station. When asked il she "did not find It awkward to be fin. gerless," she replied: "No! If you had never had fingers you would not know you tieede' them." The only drawback that seems to hi occasioned Is the curiosity the absene of fingers evokes from strangers. Good Horses Still Valuable. Horses by the million, but of smat) value, are to be found in the United States. Many believe that the days of equine usefulness are about numbered, except in a limited way, owing to tho wide use of electricity as a motivo power, and to the bicycle as a "road ster." As a result of present conditions, horseflesh In most parts of tbe country Is very cheap, and many farmers and breeders take a gloomy view of the situation. It Is possible, however, thai the horse market like the fruit market is overburdened with common stuffj and that really good stock will stiil bring a fair price. Apropos of this view of the case, the Horseman, a Jour nal able to speak with some authority says: "Dealers In fine carriage and draft horses report a great scarcity of really desirable Individuals; in fact many complain that they experience much difficulty In filling orders. At the great marts a superabundant supply of com mon stock may be found any day of the year, but good carriage or coach horses, fine gentlemen's roadsters or heavy draft teams are scarce and briny fairly remunerative prices." - -m Bow tbe Fnss Started, Banks By the way, Rivers, how do 1 you spell "dilemna?"
