The hour that followed was one of
the happiest he had ever known. And
the walk book to Mrs. Dolan's in the
cool evening, with the un sending

slender stems of the firs in the planta

II-
During tho weeks which followed
Brian Heuuessy was lorn by eontlic.t
ing emotions. Consumed by u passion
ate love for the girl who was staying
with Mrs. Dolan, and recognizing, as
he did, the utter hopelessness of
fostering suuh an attachment, he was
by turns recklessly gny and deeply
despondent.
A fow of the rougher spirits on tho
estate did not fail to notice thuso fits
of despon2eucy, and the hot blood ran
riot in their veius at the "tyranny" of
the mini who was turning the master
out of house aud home. Dark whisp
erings and muttered threats which
boded no good to Mr. Darliugtou
wero freely indulged in, and llory
Devino polished up his old rillo with
a grim look.
Hut the loss .of his home, which a
fow short weeks ago had soomod to
Brian the worst calamity that could
befall him, had faded iuto utter in
significance beside tho one great ab
sorbing passion of his life.
lie feared with a dread the keen
ness of which struck him liko a dag
ger thrust, the inevitable parting which
lie knew must now bo olosa at hand.
Though poverty scaled his lips with
a seal that love strove in vain to break,
the continued struggle was telling
upon bim, and the hopeless look iu
liia eyes ofteu caused the heart of Mrs.
Dolan's pretty lodger to beat with a
wildness that startled her.
Oue dull, heavy morning, about a
month after their first meeting, Brian
cnino tramping down the moor and
aoross the meadow, a couple of dogs
at his heels, aud a look on his faco
that caused Mrs. Dolan to remark:
"Sure, there's Mister Brain, lookiu'
for all the world as if ho was going to
bo hung!"
A moment later he was in the cool,
stone-Hagged kitohou, . aud gazing
hungrily at the occupaut of the big
arm ohair.
"It has ccmel" he said bitterly.
"Mr. Darlington arrives to-dny by the
10.15 p. in. I shall fetch him iu the
dogoart from Coolardy."
She gazed up at him with a soft lit
tle sigh.
"Ann I am leaving at noon," she ex
oluimed. "I have had letters from
home this morning."
His lips twitched a little, and his
faoo paled beueathed the bronze.
"Then it is indeed the doluge!" was
all he could manage to say.
How he passed the few hours that
remained before her departure he oould
never reoall. The whole world seemed
to slipping away from him; and when
ho drove her to the station aud watched
the forlorn little face fade away as the
train bore her from his sight his heart
sank very low indeed, and ho turned
away with a g;-oan he could not re
press.
Meanwhile Mrs. Dolan had not
been idle. The news of Mr. Dar
lington's expected arrival had spread
far aud near, aud llory Devino, with
two or three others, spoko iu hushed
whispors of tho loneliness of tho roud
from Coolardy.

THE EXPERT WITNESS.
Ill Absurd Tondrnry In l!riig n Qiteatlon
In Technical K.lucl lalloil.
One of the besotting sins of the ex
pert witness is tho habit or tendency
to use a lot of Latin words in describ
ing au injury to the jut-y, Iu some
exceptional cases, doubtless, this if
done without nlTectatiou or for a pur
pose, but wo have no hetit.it ion in
saying that in the majority of instances
it is a vory good index of tho learning
and capacity of tho expert, o:i tho
assumption that tho moro words of
this sort are used, the more probability
there is that they cover a deficiency ol
knowledgo and thorough grounding
on tho part of the user. A really able
man in his profession will always
accommodate himself to circum
stances, and realizing tho capacity ol
the average juror, use very different
forms and methods of expression iu
testifying before court and jury than
if ho were making an address or de
livering a paper ou Homo scientific
subject beforo an audience of his pro
fessional brethren.
A physician, for example, who,
when upon tho stand, is asked to de
scribe something to the jury, uses all
the high-sounding terms and expres
sions ho can muster, deserves to have
very littlo attention paid to his testi
mony and usually gets his deserts.
An amusing example of this truth is
giveu iu tho following account of an
actual happening in an English court.
It is from a little book entitled,
"Hints on Advocacy," published first
iu England:
"I discovered considerable ecchy
mosis under the loft orbit, caused by
ox travat alien of blood beneath tho
cuticle," said a young house surgeon
iu a case of assault at the assizes.
Baron Brarawell "I suppose you
mean the mau had a black eye?"
Scientitlo Witness "Precisely, my
Lord."
Baron Bramwell "Perhaps if you
had said so in plain English, those
gentlemen would better understand
you.
"Precisely, try Lord," answered
the learned surgeon, evidently do
lighted that the Judgo understood
his meaning.
This incident, which might be
paralleled niuny times iu oourt in this
country, carries its own comment.
What the jury wauts is to be en
lightened ou disputed points, and the
way to do this is not to uso purely
technical expressions, but to explain
in pluiu, homely language. There is
no danger that in doing this the ex
pert will bo liable to detract from the
general estimate of his own abilities,
but rather the reverse will bo the
case.

Decorating Sinull Tabled.
A very good opportunity for the dis
play of taste iu the arrangement of a
room is afforded by the use of the
numboiloBs tables that now seem to
be absolutely neoessary. They vary
in size, shape aud material, aud it is
possible to have quite a collection in
one drawing room, provided tho draw
ing room is large enough.
But it is in deciding what shall bo
placod on theso tables that au oppor
tunity is offered for the display of in
dividual taste. Oue table devoted
entirely to silver ornaments is always
an addition to tho drawing room.
Thou there is now iu every well-np-pointed
aitting room, if not library, a
dosk, or rather a writing table, fitted
up with everything that is necessary
and often u great deal that is un
necessary to tho carrying on of
correspondence. Auothor table is
frequently devoted to photographs in
nil kinds and varieties of photograph
frames. Auothcr small table can be
kept for raro pieces of brio-u-bruo; but
the great objection to this last is that
it is apt to give oue the impression of
a bargain sale display. , However, it
may be only au evil mind that would
think of it iu that light.
Ouo very good feature iu tho family
living room is tho large table, no
longer allowed in the centor of the
room, but pushed to onesido, or even
against the wall. On this are piled
the books aud luaguziues; the last so
arranged, one over the other, that the
title and date of each show, so that
ono may pick up tho number wauled
without looking through tho entire
pile. Ou such a table as this there
should be uothiug but tho magazines,
books and a good reading lamp, to
gether with a paper cutter of good
size, an ash receiver and, if possible,
a vase of cut flowers to add the need
ed touch of duiuliuess. Harper's
