Tillie met the po.st'uau on the htepa bh alio was KnK '"t of the hotiso that lnol'iilli, aud lie handed her a bundle of lettera, She iia I no time to rea 1 them theu, nor in the cab, for there waa barely time to roach the Htatiou, wheru huo fouuil Mr. Webley imptiti ently awaiting her. He had Htronly adviaed her to bring nothing with her. Whatever was reipiired could be bought at Liverpool, he mud. "1 waa very much afraul we -vould tuiaa the train," he aaid, as he h irriel hur out of the cab. "1 have reserved h compartmeut." "There' nuothor train, if n't there?" ahu aaked. "Oh, certaiuly, but a railway station isn't tho pleaaauteat place in the world to wait, and aiuce I left my hotel I neeni to have met ttvery friend I havo iu London, aud all wauting to know where I am going." "And, of course, you told thorn," said Tillie. Tho young mini laughed aa he held open the door of the railway carriage for her to outer. He quickly followed her, aud a moment after the 10.10 a. iu. train slid out of the great Htatiou ami begau its northern journey. Tilly at in her comer by the window and carelessly turned over tho lettera in her hand. Most of them were from girl friends, but on tho envelopo of one of them sho recognized the tine, bold handwriting of Tom Mantry. She Mole a furtive glance ut VVebley as alio tore open tho envelope, but he was ab milted iu Ins moruiug paper, now that hia, mind was at rest aud they were fairly otl. "lear Mias Markham," tlio letter bpgau. "1 was unexpectedly called away from London more than a wook ago by the midden illness of iny uuele, Sir John Trdlyiiu. lieforu departing for Trell van Hall I wroto a letter to you i tpl.uuiug why I could not bo at tho picnic up the river. Through my own stupidity and tho hurry of get ting away, I find I left your' letter on my tablo iu my rooms iu the Temple. 1 had expected a letter from you while at Trellvan Hall, and when it did uot come I was greatly disappointed, 1 found on my return this moruiug, as I said, my owu letter which was uot posted, km, of course, you did not re ceive it. Will you forgive me, there fore, for breakmg an ougageiuent with you ami your friouda without exulaua- tiou? Aud may 1 call thiaevouuig, as I have something of importance (to luyaelf, at leant) to aay to you I will 1 K remain all day In my chambers at the Tetnplo awaiting your a newer with aome anxiety." He aigneil himself, "Youra very Irnly, Tom Iiantry," and then added in a postscript, aa if an afterthought, "I nlionld have told yon that my nncle died two days ago, which makes a great deal of difference in my plan of life, aa perhaps you are aware.' Tillie Markham waaa cautious young woman, and always considered that a bird iu the hand was worth two in the bush. She looked at (Jeorge Webley, and he smiled across at her. "Whcro do we atop tlrrt?" ahe asked. "Villetdcn Junction, I believe, and we ought to bo there now." "How lor," do we stop?" "Only n few minutes." "Io you think you ronld get me half n dozen telegraph blanks while we are stopping there?" "Oh, I don't need to go out for them," said Webley, 'I always carry plenty of them with me and sixpenny stamps also." As ho said this ho reached down a bag from the rack over his head, opened it and handed Tillio a number of already stamped telegraph j forms. hen the train slowed up at i Willi sdeli she said : j "D get out, Oeorge, and find me n time book, for I want to know how many tunes this tram stops before we ! reach Liverpool. " I Webley had no sooner disappeared i than the young l i ly called the guard , to her. . "Whore is the nest st3p, guard?" 1 hIio Hsked. "At l'.letclilcy. inirts." "How long beforo we reach there?" "We are timed for DIctchlcy at 11. H." Sue had alrjudy written her tele gram, all but the iuslriu'tijus where to reach her. It ran : "Tom P.intry. foLe-'.ipon-Llttleton Chnm tier'.

"Can you scud this oil for iuh nt once?" she askel the, guard, slipping it with a sovereign into his hand. "Certainly, mis," and he was mov ing away when Tillie said: "I may h ive an answer to this when we r.vich lilotehley stitiou. Will you bee that I get it quickly?" "Certainly, certainly, miss." Just as tho train was leaving Oeorge Webley sprang iuto the compartment with tho train book in his hand. Tillie opened it and found thj number of stops the tr.iiu made between Lon don and Liverpool. When they reached the station she said : "Ob, (teorge, I wish you would get me i'. cup of tea." "I don't think there is a refresh ment room here," he snid dubiously, "but I'll en and see." "Do, please." The next moment the guard oimo up. "Here'i your telegram, miss," he said. SI19 rapidly tore open the envelope and read: ''Ths matter on which I wish topeak to you is impossible to explain in a telegram. uen Uo yon retnu? '.'e took unuther of the telegraph forms aud rapidly wrote: y' "If yon have anything to tell file, now is the Wiuo to tell it. -1 do not kuow when I nlnill return to London. " Then turuiht," to tho guard she asked : "Where do we slop next?" "At Kugby, miss; 11. .7.1." She quickly wrote where to tele graph her as she saw Oeorge approach ing. She aided hurriedly to the uuard as she thrust her message into his hand : "liriug me the answer when wo get to Lugby." Oeorge swung himself into the com partmeut, saying: "Just as I thought ; uot a blessed thing to eat here, but we wait ten minutes at the next stop and I may be able to get you anything you wish. I say," he added," you're not telegraphing to your friends ubout this, are you?" "Oh, not about this," she replied quietly, "I am only sending some uecessary telegrams, that is all." "You know if you ore in a hurry," he said, "we can send all thu tele grams you want from Queenstown just as well as from here or Liverpool." "Oh, I know that," auswered Tillie, demurely. "I hope I know enough to send messages only where they ought to go, bo don't be afraid." Oeorgo laughed, for he was a gooJ nntured fellow, aud the train aped on toward Liverpool. When it slowed up at llugby station Tillie leaned af fectionately over toward tho young man aud said : "Now, Oeorge, you go over to the refreshment room aud eat all you have an appetite for. I dcu't think I care for anything until we reach Liver pool." "May I not bring you a cup of tea?'' asked Oeorge, anxiously. "Oh, certainly, certainly, if you bring it two minutes before the train is otr." Another man might have thought this request a rather singular one, but Oeorgo had uo brains to spare, else he would not have been on this silly eloping expedition, so he thought nothing of it, but jumpel out us soon as the train came to a standstill. Tho guard soon came to the com partment with a telegram in his hand. Tillie tore it open and read: "Utterly impossible to telegraph what I wish to day to you. Tell me where you are stsyiug at Liverpool, aud I will leave by lirst traiu and moot you there." Tillio, with a sniff of impatienoe, seized another of the stamped forms aud rapidly wrote : "1 may sail to-morrow with some menus tor America. there u no chance of your seoiug me if you do - . A. t . cuiue ; mereiore, wnatever you may uuve 10 say io me say it now ; it is yont last chanc. Telegraph me at " She looked inquiringly at the guard, who promptly answered: "Next stop Creve. We reach there at 1.35." Hbe gave the guard a handful of money to pay for the extra wording of this dispatch. That good man was rapidly becoming rich. He sighed as he remembered that the next stop was tho last before reaching LiverKol. He wished that he was on a traiu for Scotland with such a passenger aboard. "Hero is your tea, my dear," said Oeorge, as he came gingerly along with it iu his hand. The girl drauk it with many expressions of gratitude toward her lover. "Well, the next stop is Creve, and after that Liverpool," he said, as he handed back the empty cup to a news paper boy to take back to tho refresh ment room. "Ao the guard tells me," replied Tillie, sweetly. At t'teve the gusrd came to her with tho final telegram. It wording was terse un I to the point. It ran: "I love you. Will you be my wife?" "Lend me another of those blank," she said to Ojorge. "I haven't another, but you can get oim nt the telegraph ollice." The traiu was moving o!T, so she said : "Never min 1. I can nend the tele gram from Liverpool." They reached the terminus in an hour. Turuiug to the guard, Tillie said : "Would you min 1 taking my things to the telegraph ntlicj for me?" Aud to Oeorge she a bled : "You wait here until 1 send for you." When they reached the telegraph ofiice Tillie turned and said quickly to the guard : "When is the next train back to London ?" "On this line th-re is not one un til I.TtO, but vou cau get one on the Midland at :V' Tillie took a lust telegraph blank and wrote : "Certainly. Why couldn't you have said so at lirst aud saved me all this telegraphing? 1 return to Lon don immediately. Call and see mo to-morrow." This being sent off she turned tjthe man who hail becu her friend all th ) way through. "Now," she sail!, take me to the Midland train." As the guard hesi tated, she a bled : "I um going to give you tell pounds." The guard personally conducted her to an empty compar,nient of th' Lou don train. Sho scribbled a note to Webley on tho back of u telegraph form. Tho note rea l : "IIkar (If Riik I hav conclude 1 uot to Co to .Vimreu lli.s trip. Our r-pon I elopement was a v-ry tuolls'i aXor, mill Iioiii you never tkoug'it I wis In enru''t aWit it.

"There," said Tillie, giviugthe nole to the. guard with the parting tip, "take 'that to the rvs" nt a wWi guarding his liiggajg'e. t tell him where 1 have .gotie, nor give him any iuforinjiffo'ii. Ho will otler yon much tuuifev, of course, because he has plen ty.- Take the money, and tell him I have gone to the country. Tell him anything you like, oniy not where I have really gone. " All of which went to show that Til lio had no conscience. Tho guard touched hia cap nnd de parted. After the Loudon train had steamed away from its station the guard handed Oeorge tho note. He did not get tho money ho expected. A look of relief passed over theyouug fellow's face. Then ho whistled, uud said to himself more than to the ex pectant guard : ".Selisiblj girl; I was getting a little tired of it myself." Detroit Free Press. Wliiski'M. Concerning beards as now worn, it is obvious there has been a great chauge latterly. Every one is now wearing a pointed -shaped andyke beard, while a few years ago the Van dyke beard was uukuowu, and tho popular beard followed very much the shape of tho face. And they say the' chauge is all due to tho I'rincd of Wales. It rose in this way: The I'rince has a barber who sees to his hair. The barber noticed that latterly his Royal Highness was growing a lit tlo stouter, aud he thought a change iu the shape of tho beard would bo more becoming. This view he communicate ! to tho I'rince, who thoroughly acquiesced. Tho die was cast and tho deed was done. That day the I'rince had and has ever since retained a Vandyke beard. lint that day was three years ago. . In tho interval fashionable men with circular faces discovered that the rounded beard added to the appear aiico of breadth, and the pointed beard reduced it. So they took the I'riuco's hint and followed it. Orad ually thiuuer men, who were also fashionable, followed their leader, ii nd one saw the pointed beard every where. Theu it became a matter of fashion, and now, of course, every one is adopting it. It was very much the same tweuty years ago about that lock of hair ou the forehead. Cspoul made a de but iu l'aul aud Virginia, and looked peculiarly fascinating with tho lock ou the forehead. Other young men, who thought themselves good-looking, followed tho example, and the coiffure a la Cupoiil ran all through I'aris, and got specially iu voguo with garcons iu restaurants, who annexed it as a body. Men's fashions are a little more stable thau women's. The hair a la Cupoul is still worn. Who shall say how long we shall have tho Vandyke beard' Possibly thirty years heuou it may still be worn, when the cause of its in troduction may be quite forgotteu. Westminster Ouzette.

There is ne remarkable point of similarity which almost instantly im presses every visitor -the populous lies of tho country. Corea has alsiut so.isni square miles of area, a little larger thun Missouri, but iu that ter ritory i.ver IJ.iMHi.i'CO of aluumd-ejoJ seml-t 'olestlals manage to squeeze themselves and nfior a fashion seem to en oy life iu their own peculiar way, w ithout either apK'uring to know or to care what goo ou outside of tnoir littlo i uii(is;:!u, which projects from the Chiioso I' in pile like a wart. Wherever one goes iu Corea there uro C'oreans big uiul little lu immense homls'is, so that to travelers who wit nes tho poverty of tbo country It is a constant source of wonder how tho peo ple live. Tho answer to this conun drum is ousv: they do not live tney exist. A handful of rlen and a mouth ful of tea or water constitute tho day's rations for the average Corean, and If to this bo addeil a few persimmons or an egg, he Is in clover, end for das will re mom bur tho auspicious occasion on which his iiisido was com'.ortably filled. Corea Is full of cities. If the expres sion Is allowed to bo used with rei ard to an aggregation of huts on the banks of a stream, and the cities are full of people who make a living, though no body knows how. In dress they are very similar to the Chinese, save in the matter of hat. They have the same buggy breeches, the fame pleni tude of shirts worn outside, and on state occasions they are arrayed In robes that would put Solomon in all hli glory tothe blush: but nowhere outside of Corea can such hats be seen as are sported by tlio Coreans on every-day occasions. They are like a combina tion of u Mexican sombrero and s Welsh stove-pipe, with appurtenances and ttolonglng peculiarly their own. The foundation conrists ot1 a truncated A COIIKAN SOMllSH, rone and a base piece about as wldo and as graceful as the rim of the straw hat that decorates the fashionable young man during the p esont season, but, in addition, there are Daps and ear pieces, and thiugs like tho wing of a Komun helmet; thore are bands and straps and other matters, the com plication of which ktrlkes the beholder dumb with amazement. These are the every-day hats, for on Corean Sundays an aitalreveu more imposing Is mount ed, in le and shape c'otely resem bling an umbrella. Of wicker or bam boo Tt Is equally adapted to keep otl the rain and keep out the sun, and with this portentous head pleoo tho (til Corean trots alxint greatly Impressed with an Idea of bis own good looks and importance. But this is not the only use he makes ot bamboo In the matter of dress, for during the summer season he has a bamboo frame fitted rather closely to the body, and over this he puts his clothes. Thu4 he Is Inside ot a cave, which prevents hi clothe from stick ing to him, and In the hottest weather he remains cool and comfortable for, in s pi to of his odd headgear, he has a Ion head and knows how to ure It. His clothes do not cost him much money, for the simple reason that he has not much to spend, so he makes that little go a great way. and ha learnod to utilize materials that In other countries are almost unknown. There Is paper, for Instance. The Coreans possess some secrets with re gard to paper marlng that aro un known even to their ingenious neigh bors, the Chinese. They can make paper of such tcuhnoss' that It will resist many months ot wear, ana oy a process of oiling it they render it im jervlous to water, and s) make over coats that v 11 stand any amount of ra n, True, thny cannot be mended, for when thoy I egln to go they go all over and all at nco. but as they only cost almut a ouarter they are easily replaced if tho Corean hapiiens to have the qua ter. His othr clothes are mostly cotton, nnd the chief tfeeullai Ity nlto'ut them Is tho fact that they are always lieing washed. The Coreans have uo soup, and yet they exrect tho women to keep the cli thing in coed co; dition. and tho toiling creatures munago to accom plish this herculean tusk by washing tho clothes four or tlvo times and thou tounding them with n mallet male l ecially tor tho purpose. This takes timo as well as labor, and the monoto nous tupping that gees on forever lu a city coiiims to 1mi regarded by the t 'orean visitor ui one of tho indispcnsr.bilitic, without which u Corean community would seem unnatural. When tho women are not engaged in beating tho cl the they are Imsy at some other household employ-men?, but save wh-n purchasing tiecos-ury articles .r food, aro soldoui seen abroad. They do not always stay in tho house., however, for In Co: can cities certain hours after dark ar t t apart for tho women to take their exorebe, and during that timo all men are forbidden to appear on the street under penalty of arrest. This police regulation i very s:rlet'y ob -yod, too, for In Corea thore 1 no sueli thing us a jury sys em. tho rights of tho individual uro very lightly re garded, and justice is meted out iu tho most summary fashion. An offender iu the manner just indicat hI, for In stance, is taken ut once to th sta'lon house, and theotllier In command de cides that a man out of doors when the women are talcing their walks de ter ves a thrashing, u i matter whether ho whs didng anything or not, so the thrashing is promptly a luiiiiis.erd, tho offender Is detained until the women's hour is past, then ordered about his business, and thus are th'. demands of the law fulfilled. Farming in Coioa is of tho most primitive description. The multiti.de of )m;oi'o forbids the employment of labor-raving machinery, and all opera tions, of whatever n itiire, aro i arrio.l on by ha.d. Kcn the Irrigation of crops, a process so purely mechanical that it might lie supposed some soi t of simple device would te constructed to ubvlat) tho necessity of hand labor, is j i)n6 by lilting the wator from ore pcol to another by means of a largo tcoop, a succession of able-bodied Co ms COHKAN KMBASSAIIOII AT WASH INOTo.N. roans shoveling the water as ebewhere and is shoveled. After the crops aro planted they 4re watched, a small tower being constructed to overlook the fields of a wholo neighborhood, and tho farmers tako turns in guard ing their property from the depreda tions of thieves and hungry animals. In the ca-e of fruit farm, this precau tion Is very necessary, as fruit Is one of the great staples of Corea, and al most any kind generally finds ready sain at good prices. Tho list of fruits is long. On the southern side of the JM-niiiiula there is a wonderful abtiu lance of gru; es, apples and ) ears, and everywhere In Corea tho persimmon flourishes and forms one if the staple articles of diet. I-urgo luscious and of several varitles. not all need the advent of frost to render them eatable, Home kinds being ripened by the sun. like apples or pouches Tho crops of nuts also form an article ot export; walnuts, chestnuts, pine nuts and many kinds of small tceds lielng carefully picked ana preserved in various wavs to be sent across the line to the Chi nese. Of the field crops, beans and rice are the most impor.ant, the former Itelng used not only as food for man, but also lor the small, hardy ponies which are employed by the rich and official classes as a means of transpor tation. Not always, however. A Co rean ottlcial has a large stock of dignity, and among the various devices by which this Is upheld is the idea that It Is degrading to walk anywhere. So every ottlcial is provided with a litter and a number of bearers in proitortiou to the weight of his dignity. He may walk about his house without sacritice of personal self-respect, or even, on cer ts In occasions, when he is, so to speak off duty, he may walk through the courtyard, but every public appear ance must bo in his litter. The up itointineuta of this apparatus for the conservation of dignity are xery care fully fixed, as also the length ot the oles and tho uumber of carriers, and au official of tho highest rank, a minister ot tho kingdom, has the right to hate, under his Utter, a single wheel, which doe not rest on the ground, which takes no part of the woUht from the bearers, but 1 sltuuly a marled rantt. Whatever th .
