"There's a telegram, Chriss! They will be here by the 0.30. Christina Barrett turned round quickly. 4 'Really and truly?" she cried. 44 You are not chatting?" 44 Honor bright; look! here it is." Christina read the paper eagerly, and J then lairly danced up the steps into the hall, saying: 44 My dear old guardian! j Now, I shall have somebody belonging I to me at last." Janet and May Drayton watched her j half sadly; they had parents, and brothers, and cousins innumerable, but poor little Chriss was alone in the world. Then the excitement of the new arrivals was too much for them, and Janet, full of the subject, went on. "We have not seen Will for five years. llow long is it since you saw Major Wetheral?" 44 Fifteen years!" said Christina, so bering down at once. 44 1 was four years old when I left India, and I bad not seen father for seven years before his death. "Oh! girls, whatever you do, i don't have anything to do with native j regiments." 44 1 would not for anything!" cried ! May. 44 Just look at you ami your peo- | pie. Why, it's worse than exiles." Janet said nothing; somebody was trying for the staff corps, and she thought it advisable to change the subject before j it became personal, so she suggested that j the other two had better take things off, j as it was just tea time, and no one j thought anything more about partings, ! for the meeting absorbed everybody, j Major Wetheral was in n sad mood all i the journey down from town. Christina was the only child of his dearest friend, 1 besides being his playmate and ward; ' and only a year previously Col. Barrett i was preparing to return, when he got j fever and died after two days' illness. | Christina was likely to be a serious 1 charge, for she had lately inherited a largo fortune from the distant relative who had taken tare of her ever sinco her return from India, and the Major would have to attend to all tho business, which had been interrupted by Col. Bar rett's death. Christina always spoke of Major Weth- j eral as her old guardian, and his appear ance rather bore out her words, for his j dark hair was plentifully streaked with j gray, and his face had many anxious 1 lines about it. But it was care that had aged him, and his friendship with young Will Drayton was not quite such a strange affair as Janet and May thought, for he ' was barely forty, and as hale and strong as any officer in her Majesty's service. The drawing room at Drayton Hall ! was brightly lighted, and dazzled the two men's eyes a9 they came out of the November darkness; but it was only for I a moment, and then, while Will was em \ braced by his mother aud sisters, a slen der, golden-haired, black-robed figure j came eagerly up to the Major, two hands grasped his, aud a low, sweet voice j said in his ear; "Oh! guardian, I am so 1 glad to sec you again," and all his dism-il j surmises vanished into thin air in a mo 1 ment. Christina was very pretty, and Major Wetheral, who saw the resemblance to her fair young mother, was very much struck with her; but he felt a little en vious when he saw that Will Drayton admired her immensely. The young man managed to sit next to her at din ner, aud it was very irritating to the Major to hear the two tongues going, and to know that Chriss was askiug all the questions that he ought to have answered, and that Will was drawing all the pic tures of Lucknow and the native lines he had rehearsed in imagination. But af ter dinner the girl came up to him with her pretty, gentle manner, and said; "I want you to tell me so many things," and Major Wetheral was disarmed in a moment, and a long talk followed that was very pleasant to both. 44 Where is Miss Barrett?" asked Will one day. "The ice bears aud I want to give her a lesson." "Y'ou won't get her this morning," answered May. 4 'Major Wetheral has taken it into his head to make her a woman of business, and she is hard at work in the library learning the differ ence between real and personal prop erty." 44 Is she so rich, then?" inquired Will, who had for the last three weeks only regarded her >l9 a pretty girl who was not a poor relation. 44 She will have live thousand a year at least," said May impressively, "be sides a lovely old place in Hereford- ■ shire; but everything is in such a mess j owing to her father's death and the I wording of the will that it will fake the j Major his two years' leave to get it in j order." 44 Why doesn't 110 leave it to the i lawyers?" said Will, carelessly, and then sauntered out into the park. Meantime Christina was giving all possible attention to her guardian's ex planations, and showing so much com prehension and good sense that he was delighted with her. 44 1 am very glad you understand it all," he remarked kindly, 44 for you will have to look after these* things yourself when I go back to India." 4 'Must you go back?" asked Christina. "lam a poor man, dear, and must stay a bit longer. If I get the command I of the regiment another year, I may be able to come home in five or six years." "Or you may get fever, like "daddy did," said the girl, piteously. "Oh! guardian, I wish you would stay aud live with me." 44 1 could not do that, Chriss," was the answer. 44 Some one else will want you one of these days." 44 1 don't want any one else," cried Chriss. 44 Why can't you live with me ?" The major blushed. "1 don't think Mrs. Grundy would allow it, dear, though 1 am twenty years older than you. You must marry some 011c —there will be plenty of people asking for you and then I shall go back to my work with my mind at ease." Christina said no more, but she thought to herself that she should never care for a young man us she did fur her old guardian, and then, girl-like, she let the future be, and devoted herself to enjoying the present. Tiny had a gay' Christmas at Drayton Hall, and the young people made the most of it they skated, they rode, they snowballed, according to the weather, with almost equal zest, and wherever Christina was Will was sure to bo close by. 44 What is the matter, Major?" The aecond post was iu, and Major Wetheral had sat for quite five minutes with an open letter on his knee. "Bad news, Chriss!" he said cheerily. "They are going to send a force to Su ! akim, and my regiment has orders." "Going to send Indian troops to Su akim? Nonsense!" cried Will; "they'll never do that." "They arc going to do it," answered the Major, "and my leave is cancelled in consequence—don't cry, Chriss; be brave, like a soldier's daughter." Hut Christina was past being brave. She clung to him and sobbed, and begged him not to go, till he had to grow stern, and tell her not to be silly, and even then it was all they could do to sooth and quiet her again. Major Wetheral was to join his regi ment at Suakim, and found that if he went by Hrindisi he should have a fort night for preparations; and a very busy fortnight it was. Not only did he have to see to his own affairs, but as he did not shut his eyes to the probability of meeting his death in the war, he had to j make arrangements for his ward's fu ; turc. | "If anything happens to me, Chriss, I you will be made a ward in Chancery, ' !he said to her one day. "But for the present Mrs. Drayton will keep you with licr." "I seem always to bo a trouble," sighed Chriss. "Shan't Ibe dreadfully in Mrs. Drayton's way?" "Not a bit. On the contrary, they would be only too glad to keep you alto gether. How would you like it, dear?" "Like staying here?" answered the girl unsuspiciously. "Oh! they're very kind, and I am very fond of Janet and i May; but I think I would rather be some where with you, guardiau." "I did not mean the girls, dear," said I the Major kindly. "Some one else wants you." And then, as Christina looked up | surprised, he added, "Will Drayton has I been asking my leave to ask you to marry i him, little girl. What do you say to j that?" I Christina blushed. "I don't know," I she said doubtfully. "I never thought about being married." I "I don't want you to marry unless you i wish it," said the Major gravely. " But | Will Drayton is a tine young fellow, and would make a good husband. You had : better think about it." | " Would you like me to marry him?" asked the girl, with a look of decision ! which was new to her. | "I should be glad to think that you had some one to care for you in case of | my death; but, as I said before, it is a matter for you to decide. So don't i worry, little girl; some one else will turn up one of these days." But though Major Wctlieral tried to be cheerful, he felt anxious, for Cliris j tina's simplicity and gentleness had won i 1 her a very warm place in his heart, and | ! it was hard to leave her without any one j to take caro of her. But Chriss had ; made up her mind while he talked to ■ I her, and that evening, when Will Dray tan took her into the conservatory, she knew what was coming, aud prepared to please her godfather. j "I will marry you if you like," was i her answer to his appeal. "The Major says I must marry somebody. But you j won't marry me just yet, will you?" and there was a Lightened look in her blue eyes which made Will promise to give I her as much time as she liked. So Major Wetheral started, and Chris i tina was left alone, and, strange to say, felt far more lonely now, in spite of her handsome lover, than sho had done in j the old days, when her guardian was still an abstraction and lovers were un known. * * * * * March had come in, and the Draytons were in town, and had taken Christina with them. She was looking forward eagerly to the gayeties which would fall to her lot after Easter, and was enjoying various concerts and exhibitions all tbe more because Will's leave had come to an end, and he was with h'l9 regiment at I Colchester. ! They were an odd pair of lovers; at first he had looked forward to having a nice little wife, whose pretty face was made more charming by the addition of a large fortune; but since his engage ment he had been falling deeper and deeper in love, and now wrote letters, and grudged every moment that he had to spend on his duties, and not in rush ing up to town to sec her. As to Chris tina, she had developed far more char acter than any one would ever have sus pected of her—she was quieter, and her merry, childish ways had given place to a gravity which added womanliness to her gentle manner. But if Will had grown warmer, she was certainly colder; discouraged his vehement love making, absolutely refusing to9pend the evenings tctc-a-tete with him when he came up for a night: and answered his long let ters with short notes once or twice a week. "I can't help it,"she said, when j lie reproached her. "I can't make bc , lievc, and I hate spooning. If you be have yourself I will marry you some day, but if you want what I can't give you, we had better make an end of it." The threat startled Will, who was far too much in love to risk tlie future, and lie put his feelings so far aside as to be j have what his fiancee called "quite I nicely" from Saturday till Monday, when ! ) he had to return to Colchester. I ( 'hrisg had taken to reading the papers, : and between careful study of the news j from the Suakim field-force and Major I Wetheral's letters, had grown to be quite an authority about the war; but no one was prepared for the state of restless misery that came over her when the bat tle of Hasheen was telegraphed. No list of killed and wounded came with the first news, and she had to wait what seemed to her endless hours before the special editions of the evening papers brought her what she had dreaded. "Bombay Cavalry: Major Alfred Wetheral severely wounded." Christian read, and then, to the horror of Janet Drayton, who was with her, collapsed onto the floor in a dead faint, from which she revived only to weep in the piteous childish fashion in which she had grieved over his departure. Particulars arrived in a few days. Major Wetheral had been wounded in the arm by an Aral) sword, but had retained command of his men till a bullet in the thigh caused him to succumb. He was doing well, but there were grave fears for his arm, which would probably have to be amputated. Christina heard it all drearily; he was injured, that was enough for her, and she grew wan and white, and looked so unlike herself that Mrs. Drayton got seriously anxious, and wrote to Will im ploring him to get a couple of days' leave, and see what he could do to cheer the girl up. Will fame, and found Christina lying on the sofa, looking so delicate that he was frightened, and sat down by her tenderly. "My poor darling," he said, taking her hand, "you have been very anxious this week?" "He is not out of danger yet," sighed ' she, as if nothing else in the world mut tered. "No; but ho will be. Cheer up, Chriss; he will soon come homo, and you must be ready to nurse him instead of having to be nursed." "I suppose I ought," said Chriss, brightening. "Thank you, Will; Pll try aud not be silly." She certainly was the better for the young man's visit; though, as he re flected on his way back, she had not once kissed liiiu or spoken to him about anything but her guardian's condition, and he could not help thinking that there was something wrong about their relation to each other. Time passed on and Major Wetheral was well enough to be moved, and at length lie arrived at Portsmouth and was brought to London, where the Dray tons received him with the warmest of welcomes. His arm had not been amputated, af ter all, but was in a sling, and he was lame enough to require a good deal of waiting on, but as Christina seemed to think that to run errands for him was the height of human happiness, no one complained of that. "It is very good of you to take such care of me, little girl," he said, one after noon when she had been reading to him, "but I don't want to be selfish, and I must not keep you from Will." "I would rather stay here, thank you," answered Christina, decidcdlv. "Janet and May are going out with Will." "But doesn't he want you?" "I don't know," with a little pout. "I did not ask him." Major Wetheral was puzzled. Two or three things had struck him about tho young couple, and there was something very marked about his ward's complete indifference to her lover's visits, so that he was hardly surprised when Will came up to him that evening for a talk. "I am very sorry to have kept Chris tina from you all the afternoon," began | the Major apologetically, byway of in troducing the subject. "Pray don't apologize," answered the young man grimly. "Christina seldom honors me with her company." ■ "I am sorry began the Major, but Will stopped him. "I want, to speak to you," he said quietly. "Christina does not care for me, and I don't think our engagement ought to continue. I should havo spoken before this, only as you were away, and she was with my people, 1 thought it might be unpleasant for hor." "What do you mean?" cried the Major. "She accepted you of her own I free will!" 4 'She accepted me because she thought you wished it," proceeded Will. "And in the innocence of her heart she thought it would be all right. Iu the last six months she has grown into a woman; she has a woman's capacity for loving, and she does not love me." "But who in the world does she love?" was the perplexed inquiry. "She has hardly seen any other young men." "She lias not fallen in love with a i young man," said Will, shortly. "Look i here, Major Wetheral, last Christmas I knew nothing about the affair. Since | we have been engaged I have grown to love her very dearly, and now I cau un derstand it all. Do you suppose pretty girls give up all their time to guardians simply because they are ill?" At last the Major grasped the situa tion. 4 'You are talking nonsense!" he cried. "Why, I am an old man, and her guardian." 44 You are only twenty years her senior, and that goes for nothing nowadays," answered the younger man. "And you watch her as she moves about the room in away that is not at all paternal. Why can't you make each other happy, and have clone with it?" Why not, indeed? Major Wetheral saw an utterly unexpected dream of hap piness unfolding before him, and then, like the gentleman he was, he turned to Will. 44 And you?" he asked simply. 44 1 shall get over it," was the answer. "And, at all events, I will not make her unhappy and the two men shook hands warmly. Some time later, when Will had care fully smoothed over matters with his mother, so that Christina should not lind herself less welcome in the Drayton household, and had then taken a quiet, friendly farewell of her, she came back to her guardian's room and offered to read to him. 44 1 don't think I want to be read to," he answered. 4 'Are you inclined to talk to me, little one?" "If you like." The girls eyes had a suspicious brightness in them, but ther* was nothing heartbroken about her ap pearance. " 44 Do you know that Mr. Drayton has gone away?" she iurpiired, taking up her work. 44 1 am not surprised to hear it? Did he say anything to you before ho went?" Christina's fingers stitched busily as she answered. 41 lie told me that he had been talking to you, and that you and he both thought our engagement had better come to an end." " Well done, Drayton!" thought the Major; but he said, "And did you ob ject?" "Oh, no! 1 was vcrY glad! I don't think I should have liked marrying him, guardian." Major Wetheral made a movement of impatience. " You will have to give up calling me guardian, Chriss. It makes me feel so old." [ "I am sorry!" The girl looked up eagerly. 44 You are not a bit old," she cried. You are young enough for any thing." "Am I young enough to marry? Chriss! my darling, could you put up with a broken-down old soldier?" Christina was on her knees by his sofa. "Not old nor broken down," she exclaimed. 44 Oh! guardian, you have made me so happy!" And the Major showed no objection to being called guardian this time.— [Cassel's Family Magazine. Frogs' Legs and Frenchmen. People are usually inclined to regard that toothsome viand known as frogs' legs as a dish peculiar to the French, and more than once unfriendly individu als have alluded to that country as a nation of frog-caters. For this reason I was surprised the other day while dining at a modest little Parisian restaurant in the French quarter of this city to find that out of a party of four French people, two ladies aud two gentlemen, there were two who had never tasted the succulent white meat peculiar to the bind legs of the gentle bullfrog. More than that, i either could be pcr suaded to taste the dish at all, although it was served a la poulette and cooked to perfection.—[New York Herald. Japan's Dwarf Trees.

WONDERFUL THINGS DONE BY AUTOMATIC CONTRIVANCES. Supplying People with Hot Water, Illuminating Fluid, Eatables and Drinkables—Their Photographs, Etc.—Antiquity of Slot Machines. The uses to which slot machines are put nowadays may well excite astonish ment. In Paris they are scattered all through the poorer quarters of the city to supply the people with hot water. Fuel is very dear there, and it is a great saving to lie able to get a bucket of really boiling water by going to the next corner and dropping one sou. The same method is made for provid ing the poor of Birmingham, Eng land, with gas. A penny dropped into the meter turns on the illuminating fluid for half an hour and when that time has expired the consumer can drop in another penny in case he wants to use light longer, and so on. The plan hoi two advantages for the company—it makes the payment for gas sure and the rate is a little higher by this retail method. As is the case with everything, tlio poor must pay the biggest price. There is nothing so expensive as poverty. A new slot machine in London has a phonograph attachment and tells your weight. "You weigh two hundred I pounds," it will shout, in case you tip I the scales at that figure. Another En glish contrivance is a small shop in it self and sells you automatically sixteen different articles, including hot drinks cokl drinks, biscuits, lead pencils and postage stamps. An interesting device of the sort gives you a cup of coffee in response to a nickel. To get a mug you must drop another nickel iuto a separate slot, whereupon the receptacle becomes available. Having drunk your coffee, you put the mug back in its place and the money you have deposited for its use is given back to you without the inter vention of hands. Still other machines sells you newspapers, books and cologne, afford the spectacle of an imitation cock fight, on which you can gamble by bet ting on one bird or the other, and sharpen your knife if it is dull. This last works a little whetstone back mid forth while you hold the blade. For five cents in like manner you can procure a cigar, with a match to light it. The Union line of street cars in Baltimore has recently employed a kind of slot device very profitably. It sells instead of ticK cts, six tokens somewhat resembling five cent pieces, at six for a quarter. The passengers drop these into slots provided for the purpose all along the inside of the cars, which are bobtail, and they roll along to the driver's box. Since adopt ing this plan the company has found its profits much greater. There is hardly anything that you can not do nowadays by dropping a nickel in the slot. You can try your weight or your grip, start the horses racing, have the dice thrown, learn your fortune, play a game of freeze out, bet on the spinning roulette wheel, peep through a kaleidoscope, purchase cigarettes or chewing tobacco,buy needles and thread, collar buttons, shoe laces or what you will. The patent office has already granted 822 patents for slot ma chines and more than a thousand addi tional ones have been taken out in Eu rope and elsewhere abroad. A firm has recently been established in Washing ton, under the name of the "Automatic Machine Company," to be incorporated with a capital of $1,000,000, which is to manufacture such apparatus on an enor mous scale with branches all over the United States. The dovice iu which it is most interested sells a drink of rock and rye to any one who drops two nickels in. This two-nickel business is a new idea, and it is adopted because so small a coin as a dime requires much more delicate machinery, and, furthermore, a machine that can be worked by a dime will respond equally well to a 3-cent piece. When the two nickels have been dropped in you pull out a handle and the liquid potation appears in a small glass cylinder with a nickel-plated screw top. You unscrew it and imbibe. Much em phasis is laid upon the fact that the stuff is strictly medicinal. An equally ingenious slot machine supplies the customer with a hot sausage, frcsn cooked. When a nickel is dropped in out pops a fat Frankfurter from a box and drops into boiling water. At the same moment a sign appears, which says: "When the sausage is done it will be given to you. Take it with a fork and put it in the hot roll, which you will find now in the little compart ment to the left." At the end of three minutes precisely a sausage makes its ap pearance on a piece of perforated tin, for draining off the water, and you cat it with the roll, the fork, as well as mus tard, salt and pepper, being obtainable from a small cupboard. A similar con trivance that supplies beer aud sand wiches is popular at railway stations in England. For five cents also you can have your photograph taken. You sit on a chair in front ol" the apparatus and gaze at a point in the glass front. Presently there is a brilliant flash and a moment later a tin type drops out. The slot machine is no new invention. Such contrivances were known thousands of years ago. The first one of the sort that there is record of was worked in Greece four centuries before Christ. It was employed for selling sacred water iu the temples. Any one who wished to get n small supply of the precious fluid dropped silver coins through a slot into the receptacle, which contained a small jar tilled with the water. The coins fell upon one end of a sort of balance, and it required about 75 cents' worth of sil ver to tip it This weight, however, would cause one extremity of the balance to be lowered, the other extrem ity rising and opening a valve at the bottom of the jar. Thus a small amount of the water was permitted to escape, but only a little, because the coins at once fell off the end of the balance, and, equilibrium being restored, the valve clo=ed again. From the time of this ancient slot machine up to comparatively recent times history makes no record of any contrivance of the sort. About seventy years ago a philanthropist in England had constructed on his premises a device with a crank attachment and a hole at the toj) big enough to drop a copper penny into. AVhencvcr a beggar came along and asked for something to cat the good man put a penny into the affair, upon which, if the tramp turned the crank for twenty minutes, a loaf of bread was thrust out. This was an ingenious scheme for making flic applicant for alms work for his dinner, but probably it was no more popular with mendicants then than it would be to-day. About twenty years ago the first modern slot machines made their appearance in Ger many, where they arc very widely used at present, the French next took them up, and since then they have spread all over the world.—| Washington Star.

THE business ot wotting a state out of money has been reducod to a science in Minnesota. It having cost the State, last year, twenty-five thousand dollars for wolf bounties, an investiga tion disclosed the fact that, in the northern part of the State, wolf-farms existed, where wolves were bred for the bounty of five dollars a head on each.
