Cecil ltavmond had fromised to look

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

street after their return from tin

She did not know that she was ex

This happened more than on.-e. It

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

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

assembled, it would bo-an amusing lit

hither and thither, greeting each oth

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?

our treat;

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.

How Time Tables Are Distributed.
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.

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

nd industrial life.

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

which was wrecked off the Bahamas.
He succeeded in obtaining the treas

he raptured Tort Itoyal, N. S., and em
boldened by success attacked Quebec,
lie was defeated, however, and after
displaying himself, with Cotton Ma

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

MAKING HIM USEFUL.
The Indoor Cycllet Ia No Longer Sim'
ply an Ornament.
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.

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

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.

of ringers might be expected to entail
One of thedaughters,aged20,can write

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."
