But Murk was not nltrnist enough to
care two pins whether he disturbed
his friend in the middle of a uotion or
fried Hole. And yet hi, too, was a
writer.
i He bounded into Ralph's rooms like
a tiprHt.
'I'm under sentence, my dear fel

posed look of roproach that was levied
at him, "and I thought you'd like to

"That's tiresome," exciaimed Ralph,
methodically cloning his fountain pen.
".o, what I want to know is,
proceeded Mark Tarlitton, "where
am I to go? Egad, if only I could
meet with a girl like the future Mrs
Gray at least, if all you say of her is
to be believed.
"A most wise reservation, thnt !"
aid Ralph. "But there, now, why
not gel off to Wales and try your own
luck? People don't value Wales as
they ought. It is a lovely country,
and you will find the people in the
out-of-the-way parts extraordinarily
simple and unspoilt.
"All right. Give me her address, or
at leant tell me her name; and if she
comes up to your own portrait of her,
by Jove, Ralph, 1 11 take the leap, too,
and settle down.
"I'll not give you her address, my
dear fellow, nor tell you her name.
But I'll tell you where I met her, and
I think you'll have no difficulty in
finding others something like her.
You can take a train to Pwllheli nnd
then make your way to Aberenllyn

"Thanks, my dear fellow. Oh, by the
way, just write it down, will you?
Aber something or other is vague,
I hope the grub will be eudurable?"
"Yes, it will be endurable," said
Ralph, and he wrote the name on
lip of paper. "There you are, and
good time to yon."
Slam rarungton waa much more
impulsive than he looked. He was
lorty-oue, stout, rather more red of
face than he liked to be, and with
ears that stuok out from his head as
If they were the split halves of a hoop
with the rounded parts set to his
skull.
The day after his interview with
Ralph Gray he took train for Wales.
It was close upon 4 o'clock when he
reached Abereullyn. An air of sacred
calm was over the village. The very
pigs of the place were penned. Words
cannot say more to' prove the pro
fundity of Aberenllyn'aSunday torpor.
At this stage of his adventures Mark
heard stops behind him, and the door
of a cottage opened. He turned to
look into a pair of sunny gray eyes.
They belonged to a young woman,
whose pretty figure was well declared
by her tight-fitting black dress. There
was either the beginning or the end of
a smile upon her lips. The lips were
mall and shapely, and so were the
teeth they half hid. Mark did not
take iu all at once the fact that this
girl was beautiful, but he felt instinc
tively that she had a human heart un
der her bodice. In reply, therefore,
to her charmingly liaped "Cau we offer
you shelter, sir?" he poured out his
plaint. There waa an elderly, dark
eyed and hard-faced woman in the
gloom of a HMiwge behind, and the
night-cap on her head at onoe made
Mark regard her as an enemy. But as
be sat on a ohair in : the little room,
oumbered with millinery, into which
he had been invited, ami watched the
play of the girl's faoe, Mark knew
that he had gained an ally.
He sat in patience while the girl
opened and carried on a lengthy con
versation with the night-capped lady.
"My aunt says, sir, " observed the
girl at length, "that if you will exouse
me ooniusioa sue, snail give you a
loom."
Another look into the gray eye and
ail mark soruplea Bed.
"I oannot tell yon bow relieved I
feel," he aaid, with genuinely grate'
f ul ring in bis voice, a be followed
the girl into a chamber about nine fevt
square, the prim bone haired furniture

of which was disguised under its coat
of dust.
"Thnt is my father, snid the girl,
pointing to tho portrait of a broad
shouldered man in black witha kindly
expression on his somewhat shaggy
face, and with a roll of paper in his
hand, as if it were a truncheon. "And
that," indicating a minister on the
other side of the room, "iss my father e
brother, Uncle Owen."
"What must I call you? asked
Murk, when his pretty deliverer
bronght him his tea and sat down to
see him eat it.
"My name? Oh, it is Clande Row
lands I am generally called Claudia ;
I like it best and Mrs. Griffiths here
iss my nnnt. You see it iss the hiring
time, nnd she iss so busy then thnt one
ol tiss, my sister or me, comes to help
her with tho shop it iss amusing,
tool"
"Very. I should think, Claudia. An
uncommon name, Claudia, and not so
ill-sounding either I Oh, good gra
cious, w n lit s np .'
The girl laughed as Murk righted
himself. His chair had broken through
tho floor.
"It iss too shocking, thins house, to
ask von into. Indeed, I am sorry for
yon Mr."
"Partington, Clandia--Mark Par
tington. And yon mustn't say such
things. I am well content.
They went to chapel together in the
evening Mr. Partington, Mrs. Grit
fiths and Claudia. It was Mark's sug
cextiun, and it deemed to raise him in
the postmistress' regard. After the
service, however, he had compensa-
tiim. The rain had set in again. Mrs.
Griffiths locked the house-door. The
three sat together nutil ten o'clock
The postmistress did not understand
I'.ngliHh. fllark thanked heaven font.
But she kept her eyes on him, and
even when, at Claudia's request, she
sanctioned the cigar for which her
guest was pining, she watched the
smoke of it with an expression that
was notex'ictly comforting.
"You must not mind aunt," whis
nered Claudia at that moment, when
the elder lady had left the ' room and
the girl was kneeling to use the bel
lows to the reluctant fire. Her pretty
head touchod Mark's arm while she
worked it was such a very small
room. ".She iss stricter than nss
younger ones. Aud, besides, I wass
two years with an English school, be
cause my father he wass resolved his
children should know the English and
the Welsh but I speak it badly yet."
"I don t know when 1 ve heard Eng-
lish spoken so sweetly," said Mark;
and be meant it.
His second day in Aberenllyn did
but confirm his earlier impressions
about this Welsh girl. He saw her
now in her role of busy worker, doing
everything that came in her way, and
doing it all with the most winsome
cheerfulness.
The shop was full of customers al
most from daybreak. It was odd where
they came from, and also how they got
their money, nut, as the girl said,
they mostly had six months' wages in
their pockets and they meant to spend
them quickly. Every one wanted
Claudia. It annoyed Mark very
much to see now sue was at the dis
posal of little girls of thirteen or four
teen who wished for ostrich feathers
and sulphur-colored bonnets a foot
high, and sat down to make sure she
did not forget their desires. And it
annoyed him most of all to perceive
the cordial footing she was upon with
all the haudsome young seafaring men
who dallied so long in the shop on
tho pretext of letters, pipes or snuff.
lie dined on tin salmon of nn indif
ferent brand ; but Claudia served it.
and at his request shared it with him.
She was not a bit troubled at being
asked to dine with him, but there was
just a soupcon of deference in her
manner, which made her all the more
charming.
Then she again took np her bonnets
and continned to run between the
shop nnd Mr. Partington's room till
even Mark's obdurate nature yearned
iu pity for her.
"will yon not come out with me?"
he asked. 81ie exoused herself with a
smile. The bonnets and her aunt
wore her plea; but Mark saw it in
her face thnt a sense of propriety also
deterred her. Yet this same sense of
propriety did not prevent her sitting
with him for hour after hour in the
eveuing, while she worked by the
light of one candle, and Mark smoked
cigar after oigar, and studied her face.
Mrs. Griffiths came periodically to
peep at them. She did not seem
pleased by her nieoe's oonduot, but as
there was no relaxation in the bonnet
making she uttered no audible protest.
somehow the talk took a literary
turn. Claudia's father, who was a
tradesman in a town at some distance,
was also a preacher. The roll of paper
in his hands on the wall was one of his
sermons. Claudia climbed the stain
to fetch a manuscript copy of the ser
mon the old gentleman had preached
iu Abereullyn only the last Sunday.
Mark read a little of it, praised its
vigor (which was uu deniable), set it
aside, and again turned bis attention
to the girl's gray eyes, whioh bad al
most a . morbid sparkle of beauty in
them by the oandle light.
"I suppose, Claudia, yon don't real
many uovels?" he asked.
"No, Mr. Partington, and it iss
strauge yet that I should not though
I oannot tell you altogether v. by. But
when J wass a very HtUe girl my Uncle
Owen there took me upon hiss knees
and said J wass never to read those
books, aud I said I would not. They
are wioked things, novels, Mr. Par
liugtou, and put idle and vain thoughts
into girl minds. .
"I myself am a writer of novels,
Claudia," aaid Mark, stooping to see
what effect his words would have upon
the girl's faoe. -
But they seemed to have hardly
any. She colored slightly, and ber
res took an earnest expression.
'Indeed, I am sorry I said that,"
the whispered. 'They nay hot be so
bad as tnelo Owen thinks, and 1 sup
pose some people must write them, as
there are poople who read them. "
"She puts me down as a sort of
scavenger," thought Mark, with much
mental disaffection.
"Claudia I Claudia !" called tho annt,
nnd, laying aside her work, tho girl
excused herself, and left the room.
When an hour hnd passed nnd she had
not returned Mark went to bod. He
shuddered to think what Aberenllyn
would be for him if she were uot in it.
Tho next morning sho snid to him:
"I have a letter from my father this
day, nnd I nm to return to him tho
day nfter to-morrow. They miss me
so mnch at homo."
"The day nfter to-morrow !" echoed
Mark. It was ns if a veil hnd suddenly
been drawn between him and the sun
light. Yess. I Bhall be sorry, ana i shnu
be glad, too. I nm happy nt home nnd
I am happy here : but I do not sleep
so well at Aberenllyn, though I do not
tell nnntie."
' Mark put his hand to the girl's
brow. It was much too warm. He
fancied tho pretty forehead clung to
his palm, nnd the fancy made his heart
bent.
'Yon are the goddess of self-sacri
fice, Clnndin,"he exclaimed, "and your
aunt is a
But the girl's little white hand was
to bis lips in a moment. "You must
not say anything against my aunt
love her very much. She is lonely
nnd does not thiuk people tire them
selves."
Mark kissed the fingers that had
thus assumed to bar his speech and
gallantly returned the baud to its
owner.
"You should not have done that,
Mr. Farlington," she murmnred. "It
iss not a very clean hand just now,
nm afraid; indeed, it iss not."
"It is a good one, and that is enoigh
for me, said Mark. Her blush nfter
the kiss had cheered him like an elixir
in his veins.
The next day was misty nnd cold,
nnd the southwest wind drove tho sea
hard into Aberenllvu's little bay.
"Our last day," said Mark, when
Claudia greeted him with her usual
gladsome "good morning. Her eyes
were very dark underneath.
"Y'ess, and it will be a bad one, too,
Mr. Partington. I am so sorry for
yon. But why will you leave
Aberenllyn ns well as me?"
"Do you think I could tolerate it
without yon?" retorted Mark.
Claudia laughed with a certain con
straint.
"Yon would soon forget me," she
said, "and will you please to like your
eggs with the bacon or done simply in
tho-put?"
"Anyhow, Claudia, so your pretty
hands bring them to me.
It was really a melancholy day out
side. The weather, of course, too, af
fected the attondance in the Bhop.
But Mark was concerned to hear the
deep voices of mankind nearly always
when Claudia left him, and ber clear
laughter never failed to encourage
them in their guffaws.
Still, there were bonnets enough or
dered to keep Claudia's lissome fingers
in motion whenever she was not re
quired in the shop ; and she did most
of this work in the little room with
the broken floor and the photographs
on the wall. Mark sat at one side of
the table watching her. It seemed to
him he had been doing this off nnd on
for years. He knew each of her
Angers by heart, and where her hair
was thickest over that sensible littlo
forehead of hers.
"Are you, Mr. Partington, always
so idle? No, no, I do not mean tbnt,
pleaie forgive me. But when you nre
not here do you not work like other
people?" asked Claudia at one time.
"Yes, I. work, my Claudia, and i
"But you mean at the writing, do
you not? Is that real work, Mr. Par
tington ?"
"Faith, I think so, child."
. The girl dropped her needle and a
hazy expression of far-awayness stole
into her gray eyes. "I do not know
if I shall ever be very wise, but I do
feel so curious about London at times.
It iss chiefly when I lie awake in the
night."
"Coughing?"
"Well, yess, perhaps I am coughing
though you must not think me weak
aud good for nothing. MyUnoleOwen
says I have silly little ears, but that I
should be more foolish if they were
larger. "
"I don't quite know, Claudia, what
your Uncle Owen meant by that, bat
I think your ears, like every other
part of you, are perfect."
The girl's cheek crimsoned and she
looked up. "Ah," she said, "but
that iss only a compliment 1 My sister
Grace the is older than me has
had many things like that aaid to
ber."
"Your sister Oraoe, Claudia, what
is she like?"
"If yon will excuse me, I shall show
you.

returned with two photographs.
"That is Graoe 1 she not sweet?
and yet there are many who tay we
are muoh alike. And this iss the

Claudia's hand.
"Child," be exclaimed "will you

as she gazed earnestly at him, "you

"Oh, dear, oh, dear only think of

This Inst was in answer to a querulous
cry for her from the othor sido of tho
door, which Mark had shrewdly
blocked.
Five minutes passed ere Claudia re
turned. Sho appeared in a pretty

the railings.
"I will toll yon why I asked you to

"Oh, but yon do, my sweetheart,"
retorted Mark, eagerly. "A year ii

yon will be mine, my darling, for

Mark Parlington had told him the
story of his adventure nt Aberenllyn.
Just ft week hnd sped sinca his abrupt
inrush nfter senteuoe by Dr. Gibney.
"You ought to consider yourself a

He said it with a shadow of dissatis

wholly pleased with the turn of events.
"I do, Ralph upon my honor 1

"Then I take it for granted that yon
will keep to your word and claim

"Was!"
"Don't be so confoundedly sharp

Ralph smilod rather bitterly.
As for Mark, no sooner was he in
the street than he clapped his hands
to his side.

When an Elephant Is Crazy.
When we present tho elephant in
possession of such intitleotusl gifts ns
may be his, there has to be considered
the case of the elephant that, beiug
"must," is for a time barsft of it
sensos. It is only the male that suf
fers from this alUiction of insanity ;
but every male is liable to it some
time or other, and, unfortiiuately,
may be attacked by it without warning
of auy kind.
Some men of long experience of ele
phant keeping say that the "must"
condition is pruceded by premonitory
symptoms, and if taken in' time may,
by diet and treatment, be averted ,
but, without presuming to contradict
those better-informed people, I cau
aver that I have known some of them
to be taken by surprise by the sudden
'musting of olepuant under tueir
own immediate supervision.
Some elephants become demons ol
cruelty when "must," as, for example,
a oommissariat elephant that, during
my time in Oudh, broke away from
the Lucknow liues and went over a
considerable tract of country, killing
men, women and children wherever it
found an opportunity of doing so.
I do not remember the total numbei
killed by that beast, but it was sadly
large. And, of course, valuable as the
animal was to the Government, only
one course oould be pursued in regard
to it. The sentence passed upon it
was that of death, and the execution
was carried out, not without difficulty
and danger to the exeoutioners, by
several Europeans, who followed and
shot it down. Blackwood a Magazine.

wonderful swimming powers. She
says: "All tho kings and chiefs have
been special adepts in tho invigorat

the present king's sisters sro consid

Pacific rollers, pushing their surf
boards flat pieces of wood about four
feet long by two feet wido, pointed at
each end edgewise before them. For
the return journey they select a largo
