"Now, that doesn't sound n bit like our own grave Vane, who "tudies med icine and cultivates au ico :re.iu cum plexion." "An ico cream complexion?" nshed Vane Wintou, a little mystified."

ITo wa'kcd off, leaving gay Lottie Kojt iVvjjiiiinj iu iii thy. Lottie was tho ward of Vaao Win ton's kind father. Sho liud been or phaned nt a very early age. A maiden aunt had then adopted her. When Lottio was but ten, and lo r education Hot half completed, her kind relative died. l!ut before that she had sent for Mr. Wintou, her girlhood's lover, and made him promise to reivive the little orphan girl. The kind man con sented; and so Lottie became UU in mate of Yuue Wintou's homo. Vane was the onlv child of wealthy parent-, an 1 nt the time when Lottie came to his father's house he was nwny on tho Continent. When he returned three years after wurda he found his "ward si ter," us l.o had called In r in his letters, away ut some school for eirls. S-. it haj pened that ulie and Lottie had never met until six months before. Yuuo was n fine scholar, but he had never studied any profession. Now, at tho ageof twenty-seven, realizing perhaps that "it is never too lute to uicud,"he whs fitting himself for tho medical fro-fessioli. Vane was trying to rtudy at his Lome that summer. Hometimea he found it lmjios-.iliio to do so amid tho tempest aroused by mischievous Lot tio Uexdal. Sho threw open tho un used piuuo, and made tho house ring with her clear, bell-liko notes. Sho filled tho library with Mowers, tossed up Vane's books, and even scribbled on them. She rode every Lorsoon tho place, romped with I'riueo, tho great shaggy dog, torn her dresses, wont bare headed, nnd turned tho wide hull into a bkatiu? rink. Sho win utterly spoiled by both Mr. and Mrs. Wintou. At first Vuno had been shocked, Hut tho ir.oro lie studied her origiuul character, tho inoro ho become reconciled to it. Tol erance gave place to udiufrat ion, and that, iu due time, to love. Ho hn 1 id ways felt a vague longing to discover n woman iu whoso character ho booed to find originality and freedom Irom affectation. If ho could only loach Lottio to lovo him, what a splendid woman she might become! Ho would wait patiently uud hope fully, ho reasoned, as ho walked away. Taking a volumo from his pocket, Lo sat down on a bench under an elru, nud began to peruatt it. Soon a merry laugh caused him to look up, aud Lo saw Lottio riding down the lane on her milk-whito Floss. Very bright and piquant sho looked in her riding habit ait sho drew rein beside him. ".Sir Owl, I'm on my way to meet Miss Alice now ; and while I'm gono I shall oxpect you to comb your hair, part it iu tho middle, put ou a cleau collar, pin a tlower in your buttonhole, and act very ue-thetio and duke-like." And with a merry laugh aha rode away. For week after Alico May's arrival the hoiisj was tilled with company. Vane devoted himself almobt entirely to her, leaving Lottie to amuse herself. At the Ircquout piouic Alico thoue a tho chief btnr of the occasion. Rbe might be gone nil day, but returned with her tdegnnt costumes na perfect ns when sho stnrtcd, while Lottio would lose her paraol and fan, and tear groat holes in her dresses, and came homo with her fnco and hands da black as n gypsy's. When Ynno nnd Alice went riding, Lottio would show oft' Floss nnd jump ho Igcs, thus provoking earnest re monstrance from Yane. Then the brown-eyed witch rodo fnster thnu ever, sending back gay pearls of laugh ter to tho dignified eouplo whom sho left to bring up the rear. Of Into Ynuo thought he detected n certain recklessness in Lottie'c freaks. When going up the mountain, where it was so steep that ho dism united lo lead Alice's horse, sho galloped ou, putting whip to Floss, who rushed up tho rocky ascent, tearing uj pebble and turf, over wide chasms, and along narrow ledges, where a single mistep would h ive hurled pony and girl down to instant destruction. Vane tremble 1; but to hide his fears, hi gave Alico his full attention. One day ho went into tho library, nnd found Lottio seated on the win dow sill. She was unusually quiet. She had been wutchin Alice, who, with book in hand, was promenading on tho lawn below, under the shady trees. "Sho is very beautiful," said Yane, looking townrds tho graceful figure. "I wonder if sho would marry mo?" "Vuno Wintou, haven't voti asked her vet?" "Not yet. Perhaps I shall to-day. Do yon think I had better do so?" "Most certainly." Aud eho run otT, Ringing merrily. In ii short time sho was tearing down the road ou Floss at breakneck speed. After sho had pone, Yane wont out to Alice. "What ails Lottio?" tho lady in quired. "Lottie? I do not understand." "As she passed mo just n few mo rueiiU ago to mount her pony, I rpoko to hef, 'Let inn go, Alico May I' she snapped, ts ! tJ.vrt in'hy eyes. And then nho rode oITbo reck lessly that I am fearful sho will pat Floss in a bad tomper." Alico spoko lightly, but Vane's fa5& paled as ho walked back to tho house, and waited anxiously for Lottio'a re turn. l'rcpently he caught sight of FIos being led slowly by a stran.'o man. The u followed a cirritige with two men, one of whom held ti girlish tig iir in his arms. "It took place down on tho river road," explained one of the men to Vane. " i'ho girl was riding like tho wind when nil nt once tho jiotiy made a pluiigc, aud the girl lauded among the rock-." Mr. and Mr. Wiuton came hurry ing out, and tho greatest excitement prevailed. They took Lottie into tho house, where it was ascertained that one arm was broken, uud several ugly cuts and bruises had been received. When Lotticvjieuod her eyes, Vuno was at her side. "(5o awav !" sho cried. "Never, darling, for I lovo you !" "How can you lovo mo and marry Alico?" sho pouted. "I am not going to marry Alice. "Why, Lottie, can it bo that vou arc jealous?" said Alice, taking her hand. "Vuno and I do not want each other." "I was very jealous," confessed Lot tie, "hut pleuso don't go away." And ho did not. "n hen you apoke of mar rying Alice, I did not euro what hap pened to me. "JJut you refused mo. ' "I know it, but only to tease you." Just as soon as Lottio recovered there was a quiet woddiug, uud Alice was bridesmaid. A New Hell. Many seusitivo persons ore startled by tho abrupt incisive sound given out by tho ordinary electric boll. M. (iucrre, a I'ans electrician, who has been working ou tho idea that this churue.tcrir.tio of tho electric bell wat not irremediable, has produced a boll which gives a continuous musical sound. Tho note is very soft, aud sweet, although pcuetrating, und it suid to bo an exaggeration of that ob tained by rubbing tho edgo of a glasi with tho finger. Instead of a boll with a hammer aud a Hpriug interrupter, & steel bell is used, which is its own in terrupter. Wheu tho circuit is closed by tho pressure of tho button at tho other end of tho line, it roloasod from the electro-mugnet forced for ward aud released again for a number of times with groat rapidity. The vibration set up produces the pleating humming instead of the familiar sound so irritating to lArvouw people. The pitch of tho no to can at any timo be changed. For instance, should there bo sickness iu a houso aud it is dosirod to reduce the carrying quality of tee note, it can bo low ered uutil it is audi ble only to servants, or others whom it is intended to nunimoc, cr.cKsn AtiK rjEAtiTtlFrrj. .

Whether they are of tho kind that in cooked liko iando lion nil beets, or tha sort thnt in ferved fresh nnd cool, like lettuce and water crepe, they are among tho most healthful of foods. From timo im memorial "greens" of all sort hnv been held iu tigli esteem for purging tho blood of humors engendered by a winter's bet of fatty foods. Another point in their favor is tho cheajncss with which they can bo foenred.
