I'll be your best man. Not that I wouldn’t like to get out of it,” I went on; ‘‘but you tnsist, and I suppose that—" “Oh, come now,’ said Tom, go in for cynicism; that’s cheap. Of course, I'm willing to admit that from your point of view, perhaps, Dor- othy Melton may have treated you badly enough, but I wouldn’t curse the whole sex and rail at matrimony and all that. You'll get over it in time, you know.” Tom is an oll friend, and allows himself liberties. 1 kept my head,and replied calmly: “I am not cynical, I'm not ‘railing’ at matrimony. Moreover, that little affair with the young woman you mention, w.ich I have quite for- gotten —’ Tom smiled in a peculiarly trying manne: “Which I have entirely forgotten——" I repeated. “And will forget anew every day you live,” said Tom. “Has had nothing whatever to do with my dermination to devote myself autirely to my profession. I have al- ready fritteredaway entirely too much of my life on what we are pleased to call ‘society.’ But of course I'll keep my promise to you. “Now look here, old man,” Tom began; but he saw, I suppose, some- thing in my face which warned him that I was not to be moved. At any rate he laughed and shrugged his shoulders, and then said: “Well, I'll count on you for best man. June seventh is the day, and I | hope you won't find it such an awful | bore as youn seem to expect.” The marriage was to come off at Riverton, and I congratulated myself that the guests, with few exceptions, be Riverton folk whom I did not know, I could do my duty by Tom, take a last farewell of butterfly society, and then settle down for good upon the career which I fondly hoped would end upon the supreme bench. [ would work,and work hard. Dorothy Melton, witht whom I quarreled six months ago, should never think that she had broken my heart, or shattered my life, or anything of that sort, for she hadn’t. She simply had revealed | to me the fickleness of her sex and brought me to the realization that a career, after all, is the only thing that can really satisfy a man worth any- thing. As the time of Tom's wedding ap- | proached I wrote him that I should | cun down to Riverton 24 hours in ad- vance in order to attend to all the thousand and one duties which de- volve upon the best man; but at the last moment my one realiy good client, a man rich and cranky, succeeded in getting so hopelessly involved in an injunction suit that nothing but im- mediate and earnest personal attention could keep him from going to jail for contampt of court. I saved him from | that ignominy, but only after spending the entire morning of the wedding court, and barely caught the *‘don’t and | fast train by which I could reach Riv- orton in time for the ceremony. Tom and his friends would have to look after the details of the wedding which [ was compelled to neglect. T had forgotten that Uncle William Clarkson lived at Riverton, or I might have bzen prey rared for him; but Te fore the train had fairly stopped at the station Uncle William was at my side, grasping my hand and reaching for my bag. “Here you ave at last,” he was saying. ‘I've been at every train that came in today. You've got to go up to the house with me and get a little snack of something to eat be- fore the wedding.” “But Tom—" T interposed. “Oh, that's all right,” said Uncle William. ‘‘I've arranged it all with your friend Tom, and V’il have you at Christ church in pienty of time for the wedding. So come along; your aunt’s waiting for you. Really, w hat could I do? T looked about helplessly, hoping that Tom or some of his friends would appear and lay claim to me, but Uncle William had evidently impressed upon them that he was going to have his own way with me, and they came not.

I couldn’t say exactly what I wanted to say,so I contented myself by giving the cravat a vicious twist. Three minutes later I dashed down the hall, threw a good-by at Aunt Margaret and hurried into the yard. The coachman was driving away. “Hi, there.” shouted Uncle Wiiliam from the front steps. ‘‘Hold on there, driver! Wilson, stop that hack!” Wilson was evidently Uncle Wil- liam’s next-door neighltor. He was leisurely proceeding from his frout gate to his own domicile. He turned around slowly and looked at the car- riage and then at Uncle William. “What for?” he asked. ‘‘What’s the matter with it?” “Hi, there, driver!” shouted Uncle William again, as I tore down the path. The coachman drew in his horses with an air of impatient expectancy. “What in the world do you mean?” cried Uncle William, puffing in anger, behind me. ‘Yes, what do you mean,” I echoed, ‘‘driving off without me?”’ “Why, sir,” said the evidently greatly puzzied coachman, with a nod of his head toward Mr, Wilson, ‘he said for—-"’ “Well, well, well!” cried Mr. Wil- son, joining us on the sidewalk. “What does all this mean, anyway? What are you holding this carriage here for?” Uncle William bagan saying some- thing under his but breath, was checked by a feminine voice from the carriage. “Driver,” it asked, ‘‘what’s the matter?” “Oh!” exclaimel Uncle William, a light breaking in upon him, ‘‘you’ve made a mistake here, Wilson. This is a carriage I ordered to take my nephew to the wedding.” “Oh, I guess not,” said Mr, Wilson, bristling up more than ever. ‘‘This is a carriage I ordered to take my niec: to the commencement.” The two men glarel at each other like wild animals, and I turned from one to the othe in hopeless perplex- ity. “Drive on!” cried Mr. Wilson, and the driver drew up the reins, “Hold on!” cried Uncle William, and the driver loosened the reins, He evidently enjoyed the situation. The two men moved toward each other, and then Aunt Margaret came down the path, hastening to the un- tangling of Uncle William’s mistakes, she had been life. v muddle,” she said to Mr. Wilson in her sweetest tones, ‘The stablemen have probably got the two orders confused.” “I don’t know about that,” said Mr. w ilson, “but I've got the car- riage.’ “But see here,” put in Uncle Wil- liam, ‘““Dick’s best man,aud he mustn’t Le late at the wedding.” “I can't help that,” retorted Mr. Wilson, ‘Jy niece mustn’t be late at the commencement, either.” “1’1l tell you,” cried Aunt Margaret, with sudden inspiration, ‘‘why can’t doing thronghout they go together?

In the next few seconds I heard Aunt Margaret making a hurried ex- planation whic h concluded with ‘“‘Aw- fully good o! you, I'm sure, but I knew you ’d consent under the cir- cumstances;’’ then the door was flung open, Uncle William gave me a push irom behind, while Aunt Margaret murmured introductions, and I found myself stepping into a carriage which seemed filled with flowers and fluffy white stuff, from the midst of which peered the face of —Dorothy Melton! “Why kK — My.—" she cried, half vising from her seat.

These ponies resemble the horses of the sculptures of Ninevel, and approach the beholder seemingly out of the framework of antiquity. | They are stocky and remarkable fos their long manes, which in instances have been known to grow to the length of three yards. The ponies are the remnant of a stock thought to have been left by some Portuguese fishermen—‘Portingalls’ the old rec. ords quaintly call them —who touched at the island on their fishing expedi- tions at even an earlier date than the Marquis de la Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the island, but their number has been decreased by exportation, the severity of the winters, and, some people think, by the importation of improved, domesticated stallions, which have made the stock less hardy, and consequently more susceptible to death from exposure. There are now between 80 and 100 wild ponies and about 30 for domestic use. Mounted on ponies, the life-savers gallop over the dunes and among the hillocks on their long patrols, and the lifeboats are drawn to the scenes of shipwreck by teams of five ponies, three at the shaft and two leaders. Some of the wild ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two, and are sold at auction at an average price of from $15 to $18, ‘‘The Portingalls also stocked the island with cattle, which increased so rapidly that people from the mainland made expeditions to the island and re- turned with enough live stock to make their trips most profitable. At one tims the island was quite overrun with rabbits. Then two rat-infested Nor- wegian vessels were wrecked there and the rats, swimming ashore, began to exterminate the rabbits and to at- tack the government stores. Cats were then imported from Halifax to kill the rats, and alter a while the cats increased so in number that dogs weve imported to kill the cats. Latterly the island was again overrun with rats from wrecked vessels, and another cargo of cats was imported from Hali- fax.

The town was Stow Market, a place | of about 5,000 inhabitants, in Suffolk county. The district council of the town met to decide upon what parts of the burying ground should be consecrated, and, as no agreement could be reached, W. C. Ransom, one of the councilors, met the chairman at the cemetery and with him flipped a penny. Ransom won and chose a strip at the left side | of the ground to be consecrated. The two parties to the flip reported the re- sult of the choice to the council, but the rest of that honorable body re- fused to accept this means of arriving at a decision.
