The position I occupied at Morris lla!l i was a unique one —professor of mathe 1 matics in a young ladies' seminary of the I old school, at the age of twenty-two. It was not unalloyed bliss, however. The greatest drawback to the sitcation was my 1 fondness for the society of young ladies. ) The president of the institution was my ' maternal uncle and was fully aware of my weakuess; therefore, with a view to both my own aLd his fair pupils' welfare, he kept me much under his eye. But there were times when my proclivities were by no means frowned down —when a new girl with a wealthy papa missed her home gai eties and hinted at leaving, or a sentiment al miss pined at the breaking off of some forbidi'en correspondence —on such occa sions the healthy tonic of a little delicate attention from the only eligible man in the place was rather encouraged. Then, too, even Uncle Joseph was not quite übiquit ous, and the stairs and halls, the music rooms, the verandahs and the many pretty walks in the really lovely grounds afforded innumerable innocent opportunities for chats with the fifty more or less charming girl? of the seminary. On the whole these | were happy days. I had great chums in every class and almost every set—the gay girl who was used to plenty of admirers at home, and so, naturally, appropriated the only available candidate in that minia ture world; the shj- girl who was not used ' to being noticed and was so grateful and ! ready to be pleased, or the bright girl who helped and rested me in class. In such ; daily intercourse very many and very dif- j ferent reasons were found for friendship, and I think I may say that I numbered among my friends most of the girls at the ( "Ball," who were beyond the ordinary in any respect—pretty, graceful, or bright— j and that is why it has always seemed to j me so strange that I never could discover j "who she was." Bnt so it is; to-day lam | as much puzzled as to her identity as I was j the moment she slipped out of my arms. It was Hallowe'en and I was invited to a little party by a pretty village girl, who was a graduate of the aemii.ary. Some I mishap—Mi.>s Maggie's lover choked him self po! guilty." A contemptuous shrug of the j shoulders answered this argument. Every , one of the pretty girls of tbe school was i flitting through my brain, but somehow none of them would fit. That hair baffled i me. I cautiously tightened my clasp of : her waist, let go her wrist and took np a 1 handful of it. ft seemed alive. So soft I and yet with so much spring, what color ' could it be? Not black, it seemed too soft ' for that—nor blonde, it was too firm and : strong—the only color which seemed to me to suit this wondrous thing was auburn, rich, burning auburn. But no one had auburn hair at Morris Hall, unless it was little Sadie Jones, aud hers would have been a moro brilliant hue had she not per sistently used some sort of pomatum. I laughed to myself at the idea of connecting her with this tall, smooth creature with the wavy mane. Decided on this point, I started on one more investigation. I shut my eyes tight in hopes of iutensying my other senses,and put my hand to her face. At first she moved her head restlessly, so as to prevent my receiving any impression as to her features, but as 1 persisted she drew her self haughtily up an.! st .cd as stili as th> carved from stone Her forehead wa broad and well shaped the hang not too heavy or long, rather conservative in cut mid mentally decided. The eyes were shut so tightly that 1 could not decide or. • thc-ir size; the eyebrows were ruiher heavy: ' cheeks firm, smooth and well round; apparently thin, hut probably tightly closed; chin round and full; ears small and ringle-s throat full, soft and long—but . here my statee came to life again and shrank away from me piteou-dy. 1 felt some slight compunction, got. possession of her bands and let her stand free. "Now, don't be foolish," I whispered, "the housekeeper or Dr. Traynor himself may wake up and appear on the scene with a light at any moment, and then what will you dof" Silence. "Ju.-t promise to tell uie if I'm right and let me guess who you are!" No answer. "Well, promise to tell uie some time, in broad daylight, when you have your pret tiest frock on?'' Not a movement or a sound. I was seiz ed by an inspiration and examined every finger of the two little hunds I held. Their symmetry was not marred by a s ; ngle ring, so tnj quest was vain, but their velvet smoothness so impressed me that 1 made a mental note of it. "I think I'll have to go at ouce to ull the hall preceptresses and have the rooms searched." Absolute silence. It is inexpressibly tantalizing to hold so much sweetness in one's arms and not know whether or not it would be safe to venture the smallest, most self-restrained caress. That instant my resolve was taken. Still holding her hands iu mine, I began sternly: "Now, do you mean over in auy way to disclose to me your identity or am I to believe that you intend this little episode to remain for ever a mystery? If you are positively resolved never by look, word or action to give me the slightest clue by which I may find you—press my hand, my left hand, which holds your right." Whew! What a vicious squeeze! My seal ring made its mark, and I was con vinced that the muscles of that velvety hand were well developed! "0 very good, mademoiselle, very good. We understand each other now. You are not sufficiently my friend t'» confide in uie, that is evident, hut revenge is sweet. As you have sworn never in any way to reveal yourself you cannot of course resent any thing which may occur, and therefore I will make one more experiment ou my own behalf." I wrapped tho helpless mischief tight in j my arms. If she wa (lightened the gave j no sign, save that her breath came in | quick little gu.ip*, wh'ch I felt rather than heard. I drew the daiuty head down to my shoulder and -pre; d the tangled si!k- n net of her hair all over me, then I bei t down aud kissed bur full ou the lips. Wiia' in all the world could compare with those lips? Full, soft, quivering and half apart —her breath went lik. wine to my bead— I shivered and dropped my arm What a brute I'd been—bow *be must despise me! And she was o sweet, I could not let her go thinking so ill of uie. But she was already gone, with a little patter of her bare feet on the bard wood stairs, aud yet I whispered imploringly, "For give me, it you can; I shall never forgive myself." Notwithstanding my contrition, I listen ed painfully for the sound of her footstep in hopes that I might at least discover towards which wing she turned. Of course, the heavy carpet iu the corridor baffled me in this, and when she left the stuirs all was still. I pulled myself together, and all forgetful of my lost match, I groped my way to my own room, where f spent tbe rest of the night in going over my adveu ture and making wild plans for discovering its heroine. Iu the morning it seemed to me, so strong was my memory of tho mysterious she, that I must recognize her immediate ly. I searched each face, I studied every figure, especially I watched for a tawny mane. Alas, how different figures seeni in tight-fitting basques or flannel blouses, and what was there in a monotonous array ol pig taiU and door knobs to recall the subtle, sensuous sweep of that fragrant flossy tangle? 1 felt like giving up, but girls are always more interesting taken individually than collectively, and as I received a smile from one and another iu passing, I caught iny selffitting her into my model. Days pass ed. I cultivated every romp in school. I took to shaking bands at all possible limes, for I felt sure there could not bo another hand of such a perfect texture. I went so far as to make mild lovo to one or two of the "giddy" net in order that I might make the test moro complete, and—l must con fess my perfidy—l oven kissed one little flirt whom I discovered to have a particu larly soft band. It was twilight on tho back veranda. I shut my eyes and 1 was I satisfied. It wus not she. Once or twice I I was on tbe (mint of taking Mis* Coil stance E . my particular frit-ad among the seniors, into my confidence as to the mail, facts of the cpis.«fe. in hopes that she might help me to a notation of the problem. She r.ad character w:th Mich ease and Sad -o much influence on the best girl- of more 1 thau one >-et in the school. I felt sure that I if she would she >.ould lind my witch fur me. But she was so shrewd and in a quiet way had so much influence over me that J felt morally certain she m>uU get all tL>- fads in the case oat <-t pirns little .tailing awl; a- swett as she v. :- - go.-.l So I decided rot to tell her >• iy of onr ' plans, which were a- follow-: Kir-t. to lav in provisions for a feast, which * :ts to In spread in my room; to have appl« s, eg.--. t salt, l.Ht' 1 - of twine and all the other paia phernelia for trying our fortunes ready t<- ] hand, and to bribe Becky, the house nis 1. j to put out the light ill the lower hail which u-nallv burned all night. Ah • t-> borrow Mi-s Farron's alarm clock, to wake • iny room-mate early for an extra hour ot 1 practice, and set it for twenty minutes to twelve. Then our light-- went out a- u-r a) at ten o'clock, and we all went to sleep 1 slept so soundly that the borrowed alarm j was wasted on me. and ilie first thing I knew my room mate was shaking me vig orously. The lamps were lighted and lfie door stealthily opened to admit a mothley crowd of girls in bed room slippers, night wrappers and shawls. We set to work at once and the goodies soon disappeared. Anrelia Lane had a copy of Burns' poems, with notes, which contained a full description of all the Scotch Hallowe'en ceremonies, and we followed these us closely as we could. The three dishes, one with clean, one with murky water and the third empty, were consulted, and I remember well ho* 1 laughed to find I hail three times chosen the empty dish which signified old maid dood. It seemed so very funny, as I was the only girl the crowd who was engaged. The bull of yarn was thrown from the window, where it was cuught either by in visible hands or by the rosebush below; at any rate it stuck. Apples were pared in front of the mir ror, salt cakes were baked and eaten and leud was melted and poured into a pail of water very successfully, as all the figures looked remarkably alike and so could be imagined whatever each girl chose—a sur geon's lancet, a soldier's sword, a journal ist's pen, etc. At last their remained only one spell to try, and no one seemed very anxious to try it. I finally volunteered, thinking meanwhile how horrified Louise would be if she could know. Amelia gate me minute instructions. "Take the yolk out of t his hard boiled egg and till it up with suit, then you must go d• *u :»i.s backwards, slowly, eating the egg as n u go and thinking of the one you love best. Then you mu.-t turn and come upstairs backwards. After you get back to your room you must not speak a word to any iiody, but go straight to bed, when if tbe ■ne you love it to be your fate, jon will dream of him helping you overa stream, or filling your pitcher at a well, or rescuing me from drowning, or some such thing." "No wonder," 1 remarked, "after -•wa'.- lowing all that, salt !" "But don't you dread Ihe corridor and the long flight of stairs?" asked my roommate. '•No, if Becky kept her promise, it's a'l dark, and I'm not afraid of the d. rk." Ah. but Connie, take off' tint ruglan and those slippers; it says 'in her bed gown, bare feet and flowing hair,' " ejac ulated Aurclia, as 1 took up my egg and started for the door. 1 waft rather loalli to do this, but did not like to spoil my reputation for daring, so arrayed solely .n my "Mother Hubbard," night wrapper and my long hair, which 1 shook out around me, I bade the girls a tragical adieu and sallied forth. Becky had been good as her word, everything was dark as Krebn-. By the sense of touch alone I made my way down my I.all into the corridor ami to the staircase. Grasping the banister-rail with one hand I turned and began my de scent. L'gh ! ihe bare hardwood sieps were cold ! And surely 1 heard a noise in the lower hall. "Nonsense," thought I, "there is not a soul brave enough to ven ture down here in the dark but myself, and I am half afraid!" So on I went slowly. I had made both curves in safety and that horrible egg was iilmont gone. I felt sure I was very near the foot of the stairs, horror of horrors, my foot came softly down upon—not the smooth, hard step—but something alive. The first maddening thought which took possession of me was that it must be a a mouse. This turned me to stone and froze the cry on my lips. It was always so with n.e. For a trifle I could scream like any other woman, but when anything really serious happened I was cold and still. My worst fears were instantly dis pelled, for the object of them was evident ly attached to something masculine. A moment later, having lost my balance, 1 came into violent contact with the said something—in fact it was a man and I fell into his arms. Tec, it was very dreadful, but when ottv's fears havo so far overshot the mark, one more easily becomes recon eoncilod to the lesser evil. While wild thoughts of burglars and kidnapers were chasing through my brain a most familiar voice murmured in my car: "Don't bo frightened, pray. It is oulj Piof.>s,.i B jroo rarely recognize my voice. Are Jt< quite awake no* T" Ah, then my heart stool -till. Profe*- •w B—. who thought me such a model eirl. ant) told me ail I,is hope* and a*pira tions and confided to me all his incipient j line affair*, a.-kii g my advice thereon ! I What would be the result of such a di j covery on his part f Ti> find me guilty oi , such a pie* e or giddiness, cay worse, reck lessness, would he not lom- all confidence ;inme T I should probably lose his com panionship. or worse, he wonld pat mo down upon a level with the girls whom we had so often analyzed together and per- I haps even—perish the thought— try to tlirt | with me! Then came the determination that he should never know my identity. 1 had from sheer fright made no sound, and I would continue to hold my peace. 1 was rather surprised to find that my efforts to free myself by force were unavailing. Pro fessor B was so slight, and not over tall, I could not have lielieved him so strong, and my admiratiou for him. which, up that time had all been bestowed upon his brain, and—well perhaps bis eyes—be gan to expand. It is curious bow women worship strength. Then how determined he was to find me ont, how he coaxed and threatened and made promises! And at last—how can I ever write it down f..r my own satisfaction—Oh. dear nic! he to investigate on hi« own account' I scarcely broatbed. It seemed to me he must recognire my Roman nose, if nouo ot my other features were sufficiently sinking, bet eoinehow be iid not, although he per severed long enough in his eff.nL Aad what a light touch he had; what a G.ir., soft baud! And 1 ne\er before Lad rca' ized what pleasant t.nes bis voice capable or Sivinetiiues T t,,,, i<-ro|>ted to give up, partly V> \»iine-«-, ids auiszemeut and partly because it w«* always bar. work for me to ref use Professor B any thing under a;ij circumstances, and wit! the magic of his touch added to that of hi voice it vas dould\ m> now. I w.is ovei whelmed with shame when I realized tba this was true, aud realized that his eiu brace, which should have been a sickening horror, tilled me with far other seus.itior.r' With a hot flush of indignation al myself I recognized the fact that Charley'* ;ael em brace aud good-bye kisses had not thriifn) me i's did the masterful ciu»p with whicl this young < his miserliness, oi ee ;«.«»: he doubtless gave his nephew neit to uo sal ary. I worked myself up to a line pitch and ju.-t ihcn Professor 1!— — asked uie in the most aggravating manner vthelher I was in earnt r t about lelusing to reveal :ny identity, and whether nothing cul.' change my determination, adding that it this was my decision 1 should indicate it 'v a pleasure of' his left hand. Like a flash 1 remembered his huge seal ring, the bead of Ajax, ana gave bis lingers a quick, sharp squeeze. 1 was rewarded, for he winced involuntarily—but his turn came next! 1 couid not attempt to excuse him to an\ one else, and I suppose it was dreadful, scandalous, ungenerous, but I would not have it undone, after all is said. It open ed to my eyes volumes of revelation* about myself and about, main things. He held me close aud kissed me on my mouth. Oh, such a kiss! Long and tender and firm. I had not ever known what a kiss could mean before. lie dropped his arms aud I flew upstairs, every nerve tiugliug with terror and delight. Hut bis noble heart *umte hiiu for the pain he doubtless thought he had inflicted, and he called in that wistful voiee, "For give me il you can." I turned th« coruer and lost the rest. I was very thankful that the suell required iu« to keep silunce when I reached my room. Sleep was out of the 'lueatioij. and I did aome hard think ing between that and morning, aud lose at dawn to write a letter to Charley. All that, of course, ba-s nothing to do with this adventure. l>ut t will just nay that 1 broke our engagement then and there, u. 'l never regretted it.

Tbe niont extra ordinary feature of the storm was the over turning of au entire r .ilroad train. con»ist ng of three baggage ears and nine heavy sleeping coaches. The locomotive and tender alone remained on the track. The through panaeuger train arrived at the town ot Fargo ut the same time as the tornado As the rools of the railroad machine shop and freight house were carried away, the engineer thought it safer to move out ot the station, but was compelled to stop at the crossing of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul It.

The part of the interview referring to the kill ; ing is a- follows: "What did you hear about Barttelot's death V I have heard that be had been shot on July 11*. He was simply shot; not cat or mutilated. I did not see bim, a.i I did not arrive at the camp until Augnst 17th, 23 da> s afterward." hat was the cause or causes of his being killed f" ' The causes were his violent temper and constant inclination to qnarrel. He had been away from the camp of the rearguard lor sometime. At tbe time of the Wiling he had just returned from Stanley camp and his presence seemed to destroy the harmony that had prevailed during his absence.
