NDOUBTEDLY those who knew Lira brut would never have stilectc(l it. A club man, a bon vivnut, hero of an endless array of more or Icsh exciting love scrapes, gentleman anil all around K'od fellow lie, CharliolDrowD, actually in the inesheH of love, frightfully, teutiuient ully, tlecperately in love. And with whom? A girl ho con fessod did not caro a enap for him Mary Chisholm, rich, cultured, trav eled, cynical ami proud. "Look here, l.rown," said Vnn Tweet, one tiny, in Rrown'a room, throwing onn le;j over tho over and looking liis friend straight in tho eye, 'Vomctliiuh' very serious istho matter. 1 have ijuictly studiotl you for somo time and iluc,'iiosoi your case very carefully. You aro in loic. Come, now, who in she? Out with it." Lrowu tried to look surprised, mi l the.i llippant. "Tut, tut!" said Van Tweet, "yon enn't Mtuulutc any beguiling non chalanco hoforo 1110; you can't tlcceivo Van Tweet. If yon aro in trouble over nu utVair of the heart, uake mo your confidant. I haven't a thing in the world to worry about. I haven't even a thing to think about just now. Let me in on the ground floor. Now, then, it'n love, isn't it?" Lrowu swept his hand over his fore head and titrttchod h'volf. like a man who la undergo'" t "glo with himself, and then ho natted out: "It's love 1 JuNt think of it! I mc falling in love I Don't you think trepanniug would bo good for mo?" And ho jumped to his feet and towHled uis hair liko a tragodian. "Sit down, Urown. It's a michty good thing you rolicved youraelf of this secret. Tho fever has mounted from your heart to your brain. A few months more of this suppressing agony and I don't know but trepanning would have proved tho only remedy. Hit down, 1 say. Now, tell mo all. and after I am iu possession of tlio facts, as wo say in a uewsnnper oflice, I'll heli) you to do somo thinking." It was the saino old hypnetie power which ho exercised over ull men and all women, too, that mado Charlie l'rowu reliu'piihh all resistance to Van Tweet's appeal. "All riht," said Ilrown, after a moment's reflection. "I trust you with my secret on voiir promise of sileuce. I have been, liko Tantalus, tho posses sor of a ravished heart ever sincu I met jMiss'Chisliolm at tho beach lust season. " "Oh, it's Chisholm, is it?" suid Van Tweet, interrupting him. "1 don't kuow what possessed mo to fall in lovo with her," continued llrowu ; "but she provoked mc." "That's right; the woman is always to bluiuc," put in Van Tweet. "Sho provoked mo ly her infernal indifference, Tbero sho was, tho con scious centre of a lot" of follows, all trying to make themselves agreeablo, uud sho only laughed at them laugh iug at" them as a quien might at a roomful of gibbering parrots. ,Sho thought sho was too good for tho lot." "And most likely she was rifiht in her conclusion, " said Van Tweet. "What did that concern you? Did you try to make a parrot of yourself as well?" "Try?" echoed Brown. "Try? Orciit Scott, 1 was tho worst of them all." "You crouched at iier feet nnd twauged your lyre like tho rest you, "i3rown?" Vau Tweet was cvideLtly surprised. "Ob, not like the rest," said LSrown. "Catch rno bearing any woman's train. No, I did worse, as I an about to tell you. First, I studiously avoided hor. Sho must have noticed it, and boforo long she teemed not to see me at all. I knew what that meant She was go ing to punish me by protending that there was no such peram us Charlie Drown on this terrestrial plane. "Ho I laid myself out t be coldly scornful as she. You ought to have tieou us. And bo things went on, un til wo were all in the eirf together, and it fell to my happy lot to rescue Miss Chisholm from drowning. "It was a more serious matter than I had reasoned. Expert swimmer as sho is, she completely lost her senses and she folded her armt around my ueok as impulsively if we had been old acquaintances. All this ooourred under water, or I shouldn't have minded it half as much. "Anyhow, I rescued l,or, together I with about a ton of salt water, bioh ! made me sick for a week,' and after that we were worse enemies than ever. "I ay we," continued Brown, "but that it a little too sweeping. By what process I know not, but from the mo ment I held her in roy arms nnd dragged hor limp and dripping to where her mother and brother could lay hands on her, I felt felt " "You'ro sure she hates you?" ' "'Oh, I havo no doubt of it," said Brown. "I called, and that call com pleted my downfall. I havo never had the same respect for myself since." "And yon think sho hates you?" "By jove, I tell yon sho is getting even with mo for being the instru ment of fate to rescno her from tho waves. That girl would a thonand times rather have died than owo her life to my efforts." Vnn Tweet thought for the briefest of moment1', and then looked up like a physician w ho has reached a con clusion at his patient's bedside. "Urown," he said, "you aro either a fool or else you are perversely en tertaining I will not rven say be guiling your heart with an interest ing illusion. You know that the girl lovts yon, or else you aro to blind that it would be charitable to hold yon tiou compos mentis. Now, don't try to bewilder my judgment with a mass of pretty fancies conjured up just be cause the girl has too much good sense to fling herself into your arms tho first time you knock at l.er door. Your confounded pride does not allow you to sco that she is ju-t as proud as you are; bnt the right is all on her sid.j, and yon aro ncting tho part of a very stupid ass, if you will pardon my plainness, for not stritpiug oil' this unbecoming dignity at ouco and going to her very humbly with u plea for pardon" Pardon?" exclaimed Brown. "I ask pardon I?" Van Tweet's ryes began to flash angrily. ".See, here, old mail," ho said, "this girl is far too good for you, and you know it. Do you stand there and tell mo that you lovo her, love her to distraction, to rashness for you do and yet hold her too cheaply to humiliate vourself bv ask- I iug her what? whether sho loves you?" But Brown insisted that ho kuew what ho knew, smote the side of his chair with his I'.st, and declared that nothing could alter his views. She hated him, and was only waiting for him to humblo himself, liko the rest of her suitors, so that sho could givo him his quietus, and pay him oil for having saved her life. The next morning Miss Chisholm received tho following letter by mail : "My Dear Miss Chisholm Will you pardon me if I avail myself so late of a long standing invitation to call, and may I hop home this evening? Cordially yours, "P. R. Van Tweet. Van Tweet found Miss Chisholm both cordial and radiant. They talked about the latest book of short stories. They they switched off to discuss operas and the visit of a Parisian star, and then Van Tweet brought Brown on tho tapis. "You kuow Charlie Brown, of course?" ho begau. "Oh, very well. Ho favors mo oc casionally with a formal nail," she said. "Well, you ought co know him bet ter," said Van Tweet in his peculiar, mntti r of fact way ; "ho is really a ro markablo character. Of course you re'id in to-day's Beagle how he acquit ted himself iu that row last night?" "A row Mr. Brown?" asked Miss Chisholm, with a manifestation of mild surprise. "Is Mr. Brown in the habit of engaging in rows?" Vau Tent produced a copy of tho Beagle ami rend : "Shortly "past cloven o'clock Inst night Mr. Charles W. Brown, tho well known clubman was going home. Ho heard a woman's voice calling for help near the corner of Waldon street and Verona avenue, which is rather dark nt that hour. Running in tho direc tion nfthe cries ho saw three rulllaus bending over tho postrato body of au old man, ami a young lady a short dis tance away screaming for assistance. "Mr. Brown ran to the assistanco of the postrato man, doalingtho first ruf llan a blow that sent him sprawling in to tho gutter, and giving tho second a lovo tap on tho unglo of tho jaw that ma In him forget tho day of tho week. Tho third man clinched, but in a trico Mr. Brown had thrown tho fellow over his head and was complete master of the situation. As soon as the assail ants could gntht r themselves together they tied, leaving Mr. Brown iu undis puted possession of tho field. "The facts developed by a reporter of tiio Bcaglo show that Mr. R. X. Walter, tho well kuowu wholesale gro cer, had attended one of tho theatres with his daughter, and had left tho cable car about threo blocks from his residonco. Turning tho corner of Wal don street ho was suddenly set upon and knocked down by ouo of tho three assailants, who had evidently planned to rob him. "Mr. Brown, in tho struggle v.ith tho last of tho three men, was wounded by a knife thrust. He was able to walk home, but bled profusoly, and is under tho caro of a surgeon. At the timo of going to press no interview could bo obtained with Mr. Brown, and tho physioian doolines to state whether his injuries are serious." Miss Chisholm had listened to the account with a pale face and trembling lips, and when Van Tweet folded up the paper and tossed it carelessly on tho table, he saw her eyes tilled with tears and her hands clasped. "Oh, the poor fellow I" she ex claimed, in a sympathetic tone ol voice. After all, thought Tan Tweet, she feols only a broad sympathy that would be extended to any other man. Sao doesn't That night Brown was much Im proved, and Van Tweet was admitted to his room. Mingling with the odor of iodoform and carbolio acid Van Tweet's olfactories were able to distin guish tho scent of roses that came from an enormous bouquet on a small table near the invalid's bodsMc. Brown himself was in bright spirits. He held out his hand with a happy smile. "Phlebotomy seems to havo done yon some good. I haven't seen you ia such a lively state of mind sinco you fell in lovo with Miss Chisholm," said Van Tweet, slyly. "Yes," said Brown, with a smile, "tho operation on my heart has done me much good in that connection." "You'll got over your wound, tho same as you'll get over your love for Miss Chisholm," gravely remarked Van Tweet. "When a man of sense comes to tho conclusion that a woman doesn't love him tho recovery is rapid." "Yes," slid Brown, with a concealed smile of supremo happiness. "She isn't worthy of you." "You thought fiho was too good for mc," said Brown, in a tono of resent ment. V?o I did," said Van Tweet, "but then I've sounded her and found she doesn't lovo you. On tho wholo, you'd better give her up and let mo try my luck. I've taken rather a fancy to her myself, and I think I'm not altogether indifferent to her." "Jo, if you waut to bo laughed at, like the rest of tho fellows," replied Brown. Ho pointed to tho flowers, "Aren't they refieshing?" ho asked. "Very biautiful," said Van Tweet, hardly noticing them. "From your landlady, I stlpposu?" 1 "No 1" said Itrowu, "from Miss Chis holm." "tut out !" he exclaimed. "The ago 1 of miracles is over." I "Van," said Br.nni, "if this infer- I linl i.i.l .tniu'l .-.it Inn tlrt.d lAi.nm. it. .i .jiiiMi uui.,.l b pc lw liuin UU will bat I'll marry Miss Chisholm in sis months, dust real this-." "My Own I have learned of your injury, an 1 my heart i.i pressed with iiamclciM agony led something serious should ensue. It has prompted mo to a quick decision, a decision I could have given; you many mouths ago if you h'ld but spoken. For my aki get well, my hero uud deliverer I I shall await with trembliug and fear news from your bedside, news that you nro out of danger, and shall pray for you night and day." Vau Tweet glanced at the signature aud folded up tho letter without a truce of emotion. "Woman," he said, solemnly, "thy uarao is mystery. How did it happen?" Browu smiled as ho had not smiled in months. "I had left her house but 0 '"vi moments before tho scrimmage 0 rred in Waldon stroet," he begor " '.to ry fcrraaL Sotur '.vords kept ding-donging throu y head. I eaid to myself to bo 1 ral coward aud tremble be cause a woman may turn you down is almost as bad as to run when your manhood is assaulted. It was a hard light, but I mado it. And" "Sho accepted yon?" asked Van Tweet. "No; she was not to htt had so cheaply ; but I loft her with a strong impression that I had won a viotory. 1 left her with her decision in abey ance. Tho letter tells the rest." Van Tweet congratulated Brown, but there was a ciotid on his brow as he took his departure. "I thought 1 knew something obout human nature," h.i muttered, "but when it comes to telling what a woman menus I'm fet ill in my swaddling clothes." Isn't thnt the way tho world wags?

Chicago is composed of 0110 largo aggregation of buildiugs aud of num berless smaller collections, which be fore annexation were denominated in dependent cities or villa-jes. Homo of these were manufacturing places only, while others wero merely lodging places for workers in tho groater city. Oueof these, Cunimiugs, va-,six year ago, a most thriving iron manufactur ing town. Nails, espeoially, wcro turned out galore. Then ihero arose trouble botweon tho employers and tho cmployod. A general strike enme on, but tho fac tories continued to run, although there were lights of almost daily oe curreujo between tho strikers aud those who took their places. Many wero frightened by the constant menace to their police, aud departed for other placos. Soon tho employers grow weary of the strife perhaps low prices had somewhat to do with it aud closod up their shops. Five years have since passod, and in all this time the place has been dead as the ruins of Ephesus. No souud of hammer has been beard, no lire of forge has beeu kindled.

As there has been moro or less dis cussion about the ages of trees, it will be gratifying to know that a Gorman forester, who is considered as author ity, says that the oldest trees ia Uer many are known to havo lived nearly GOO years. Tho silver fir has flour ished for upward of 400 year3, and the evergreen oak has been known to live 410 years, while other varieties of oak are from 315 to 820 yean old.
