Ami it may be said rigiit here that Miss Kurtz was a very estimable young lady and not vriihout u lively iippieciiition iif tho hu morous. She had heard from his sister that the squire was a sort of woman hater, and all to h-iself she had deter mined to subdue the enemy.

He paled at the baro thought, for ho prided himself greatly on his honor. i Tho evening came and found the , squire at Mis Kmt.'s home, not very talkative, but very lide-ely; but that young ladv w,:S exceedingly pleasant uml chatty. After several inelle tual at tempts to say something, tho squire blurted out, nervously: 'Miss Kurt, I have something very odd to say to you this evening." Miss Kurtz "blushed and said to her self: "So soon. It can't bo that I ha. e sulnlticii mm Mqnirkly, then alouil, us i the squire still hesitated: "If you nro . pleaded to make mo your confidant, I j shall bo glad to he ir whit you have to' say.-' "Well, you see, Miss Kurt., I've been thinking -that is I was going to say or no I have something to tell you that , I don't understand," continued tho squ'ne.

"I hud feued that you would not utidcistiiiid me that is, that yo i would not accept me my - " blundered tho squiii1, totally oblivious of the construc tion Miss Kurtz was putting on what he saiil, and she, not for u moment think ing that he meant anything other than a formal propositi for her heart and hand, and having decided to accept him, ii.teri itpted h's bashful stammering ut. tins cnlii al jioiiit as she gently touched his mill, saying: "I certainly accent vour uronosal. ibid fiiOi.ti I...... .....1 I L .. a ... .....

' Had1 all tho horrible demons of '. vtholo 'v i laceu inr i10 roulil not liavo move I or uttered a 8und. He was horrified, paral(Y(C'ed ; his jaw dropped, his faco mod a ghastly look. Ho hardly ''ruthed for a few minutes. Miss Kurtz, taking his bonified silence for the depth of n very dillerent emotion, gently raised her hand and patting him softly on the chuck, drew his h'-ad down to her und kisseii him plump on the lips. That kiss broke tho spell. With a yell that might have shamed a maniac the squire tor himself from her cling ing aims and rushed frantically ami hat less into the street, where he continued his wild run, ho knew not where, mut tering a hesp'id along: Ii, heavens! oh, heavens;" It was now Miss Kurt.'s turn to be astonished, ns the frantic squire dashed out; her eyes opened wide with wonder. She stood thus for a moment, and then she did what any oilier woman would have done under the circumstance-, threw herself on the hningo and burst into tears, saving brokenly, as she did so- "1 thought ho was eccentric, but I didn't know he was ii lunatic.'' Still lying there, weeping ns though her heart was broken, squire's cousin Widdy found her when she came to make a call a w hile later. The squire continued his wild run for several blocks, and then slackened his spued. Creiit heavens!" ho thought, as he mopped the cold sweat from his brow and felt blindly on his hea l for his hat, "sho thoii'jht 1 proposed to her and she accepted me. Oh, what will I do, what will 1 do to get out of this No body will believe me, if 1 say that I did not, nnd she and her father will think I've been trMing with her nnd want to kill me; oh dear! oh, dear! these women are awful, I wish I were a thousand miles from here." And tho pojr squire ; groaned in nugiiish. I "At this rate you will soon bo a thou- J sand miles from hero," said a hearty ; voice ut tho squire's elbow, and at the same time he received a vigorous i lap on j tho shoulder. Tho squire turned und saw his brother in-law, John, beside ' him, but uiudo no reply, j "Where's your hatf and" ho con tinued, as ho saw tho squire's white face. I "what has happened! What's tho mat I ter with you, squire, anyway ?" I "oh, I'm done for now," was the squire's mournful reply, "I've made a I fool of myself, nnd am in for it." j John, seeing his perturbed state, just . took hi arm and led him along to his I homo without saying a word. When i iusido and seated ho drew up his chair and said: "Now, Ilillery, wear here alone, tell me all about it, und if I can help you I will." Sqiiiro demurred at first, but finally told him all about the affair, how ho made Miss Kurt.'s acquaintance, his finding her glove in his pocket and of his calling on her (on errands for his sister', how ho chanced to take her to tho theatre, down to (hiding her picture in his pocket, his attempt to return it and explain, and how sho understood his preliminary to tho oxplanat on and tho result. John could scarce keep from roaring as thesquiro told tho story, but he snw that the squire was awfully serious ubout it and was indeed in a very delicate aituutiou. Finally ho usked : "ilillery, what do you candidly think of Miss Kurtz, unyhow?" "I think sho is a very nice young lady," ' ly acknowledged tho sr.utre. , then, why not .traq-htuu this make an excuse for you to Miss Kurt It took some little talk to bring the Squire round to acknowledge this to be the best way, but ns ho really loved Mist Kurt, nnd it was only his stubbornness kept him from saying so, he was con siderably delighted at the solution, yet ho was very much nt sea for n plausible excuse for his outlandish conduct with out giving tho truo reason. To keep on with their plan o" recon struct bn they adjourned to the homo of siiuiio's other brother-in-law, nnd there they met Widdy, who had just returned from her call on Mis Kurt. She was loud in tier denunciation of ths squire, but when John told her the squire's side of the story shn ngiecd to help out tho "loving geese,'' ns "she called them, and her ready tact straightened things out so thnt tho suuirc was the hftliict man in town. A year or more after the hnppy event ' that made J. IlilVry a proud young hus band, he and his pretty wife were chat ting over past events, when tho squire, in a burst of loving confidence, told her : how it was ho prfposed to her. Her I face clouded for an instant only, and i then sho threw both nrms nbouthis neck ; ami kissed him. "Io you know how the glove nnd photograph came to be iu your pocket V ' she aked, ns she hid her blushing faco in his bosom. '"No,"' ho replied, vonih-ringly. 'Howf 'I put them there just to teaso you, you were so bashful. Hut you'll for give me, won't you my own dear Ilil lery C ' 'ertainly. I will, my precious one," he cried, ns ht gave her a hearty cm brace. )iiiL t lUiulf. Tlin Jiinirle Tlrer nt Homo. One very curious point is the method in'w hie h a tigress teaches her cubs to kill. This she does by disabling the iinimal attacked so that it cannot make its es cape from the cub, who then r-orpleto the work. Mr. Iuverarity witnessed a scene of this kind, or at least came on the spot after it had been enacted, and when the marks were so fresh as to a Imit of tho whole story being read at a glance. An old bull nilgai had been tho victim anil the tigress had disabled him by breaking one of his fore leys just below the knees, fslns never touched his throat. t!,0 Uiiial place of seizing, but allowed tho cubs tJ man gle tho disabled brute.

Her father, Sir liicliurd (.Wynne, Hart., i of Hawardeii Castle, was in the habit of saying that even ns a child, this pet daughter evinced a remarkable talent , for leadership; and subsequent events' have proved that the baronet's impies siou was correct. Whilo Mrs. (JlaJstono was in perfect ; sympathy with her husbund and ever ready to be of sorvieo to him, yet sho is more interested in raising the moral and social standard of those urouud her than iu anything else.
