DESTINY.

HE London sea
son was at its
W height, and the
f l Park and Row
were thronged
ran^,^as * l "
'Mjfp thousands of
P eo P^ e walk*
in K rising and
the fiill-leaved
trees and their flowery surroundings
formed a scene which cau, perhaps,
only be witnessed in London at such a
time.
Sauntering by the side of the Row,
Hon. Bertie Milverton and his Fidus
Achates, Bruce Armitage, were evi
dently enjoying the occasion, for they
were both known to almost everybody;
and as they walked arm-in-arm they
doffed their hats at almost every step
to society's pet dames and maidens, or
now and again stopped for a few min
utes to make observations on the weath
er to some more familiar friends.
Bertie Milverton had been the
"catch" of many seasons, for, as the
eldest son of Lord Somerby lie was heir
to his father's immense wealth and
property, and many a May fair and Bel
gravian mother had sighed when sea
son after season their daughters failed
to make any impression upon such an
eligible parti
lie was above the average height,
about twenty-seven years of age and
well set up, as a guardsman should be.
Moreover, he had inherited the tra
ditional beauty of the Milvertons and
liis features were almost feminine in
their perfection, although his piercing
dark eye and square jaw showed that
he was a man of shrewd observation
and determination of character. A
long drooping mustache neutralized
the effeminate regularity of his classic
face.
In fact, he was about as good a type
of the English aristocracy as society
could boast, and one of the best known
and most admired men about town.
Society wondered at his passing so long
lieartwhole and unscuthed through
such a galaxy of beauty, until it had
almost assured itself that he was either
heartless or simply invulnerable to the
shafts of Cupid.
Bruce Armitage, his friend and fel
low guardsman, was about the same
age as Bertie, a fair specimen of a
modern Anglo-Saxon and the son of Sir
Nigel Armitage, a cavalry oflicer who
had especially distinguished himself in
the Crimea.
They were about to cross tiie Row at
Albert Gate when coming towards
them they saw a middle-aged man ac
companied by two young ladies. As
soon as they passed Bruce exclaimed:
"By Jove, Milverton! Did you notice
that lovely girl? I wonder who she is?"
Milverton said: "Yes, I did notice
her, and she is certainly charming! I
onty glanced at her, but I shall never
forget that beautiful face or those
lovely eyes!"
"Hit hard, old fellow?" said Bruce,
but Milverton replied: "Let us walk
back and see if we can meet them
again!"
However, they were unsuccessful,
and, after an hour spent in fruitless
searching, they left the park.
Milverton went to his club, but the
beautiful face he had seen in the park
still haunted him. Later on, as he
dressed for dinner, ho could think of
nothing else, and, ulthough one of so
ciety's recognized beauties sat beside
him at dinner, he appeared ami felt
distrait, and could scarcely sustain the
conversation, as his mind was dwelling
otherwhere.
He usually slept well, but to-night he
tossed in his bed, and do what he
would he could.not sleep, for that fair
•*I WOIfDRB WHO SHE IS."
face and those lovely eyes w ere ever be
fore him; and although be got up and
paced the room, got into bed again and
tried to read, it was all of no use, for
bis mind would dwell upon the lovely
image, and his heart's desire was that
he might see her again.
Day succeeded day and night suc
ceeded night, with more or less the
same result, until he looked ill and
haggard, and when his friends rallied
him upon his appearance lie invariably
tried to change the subject, and
evasively replied that he was all right,
but a little overdone.
But it seemed as if a demon of unrest
had entered into him, for wherever peo
ple assembled—at dinners, balls, "at
homes," concerts, theaters, the opera,
the park, Ilurlingham, Handown—
there poor Milverton was to be seen—
excited, but not with the excitement
which surrounded him, but rather with
an unappeasable and unrestrained de
sire to see once more the charming girl
. whom ho had only seen for a moment
In passing.
His friend Bruce had divined the
cause of his altered appearance, habits
and manners, and toward the end of the
season had openly taxed him with
being in love, when Milverton said:
•'Well, old boy, It's no use trying to
conceal my passion from you, and I
must tell somebody or I shall go madl
You know I have never felt more than
a passing interest in any of the season's
beauties, or indeed in anybody with the
idea of finding a wife."
"On the contrary," said Bruce, "I
have often wondered why you appeared
so cold and heartless."
4, 1 have not worn my heart on my
sleeve, Bruce, but it is all right and ca
pable of the most intense and vehe
ment passion; but I have long schooled
myself to believe that I should know
in a moment the woman I could love,
for I have formed my ideal, and 1 feel
that my future is in the hands of
destiny, but now that I have seen her,
God help me, I neither know who or
where she is!"
It was easy to see how deeply he was
moved, and as Bruce tried to comfort
him, he bowed his head on his hands
and sobbed like a child.
The season was over, and Milverton
had accepted several shooting engage
ments Scotland, Norfolk and else
where.
These over, he went to Yorkshire for
a ball at the Chester mans', on the oc
casion of the coming of age of their
son. Lord Ilazelmere.
lie arrived in time for dinner, and
Lord and Lady Chesterman, exercising
the privilege of old friends, told him he
was not looking well and said it was
really time he had sown his wild oats
and settled down.
He quite agreed with them, and, as
usual when the subject was mentioned,
he turned the conversation, and talked
of other and less personal matters.
However, he enjoyed his dinner, es
pecially after his long railway journey,
and the party entered the ballroom
about half past ten o'clock.
Milverton watched the guests arrive,
and greeted many old friends. During
a temporary lull he was speaking to
Lady Chesterman, when "Mr. and Mis*
Hillyer" were .announced, and Milver
ton almost fainted when ho recognized
the beautiful girl whom he had seen in
the park during the season.
To beg an introduction was the work
of a moment, and he blushed unac
countably when ho asked her for the
pleasure of the first dance, which sho
gracefully conceded. Their step suited

admirablj r , and as Milverton, a capital
dancer, steered her round the room, he
felt in the seventh heaven of delight,
and his eyes sparkled with the rapture
to which he had surrendered himself.
lie could not, however, surrender his
charming partner without an effort,
and so asked her to accompany him to
the conservatory, where the air was
more cool and refreshing.
As he sat beside her he felt that his
destiny had come, and resolved to know
his fate as speedily as possible.
lie, however, succeeded so far in con
trolling himself us to engage in ordi
nary conversation at first, during which
he elicited that her name was Ethel
dreda—that her father was rector of
Wisborough, in the neighborhood, and
took a deep interest in Anglo-Saxon
literature—and that she was not en
gaged.
lie then told her of himself, in which
account he fancied she seemed inter
ested, but it was her turn to wonder
when he added that he know she was
not engaged, as lie had been waiting
for her all his life! He extenuated his
presumption by detailing his theory as
to his destiny, anu when she said that
sho remembered passing liim in the
park during the season, with her uncle
and cousin, he became all the more en
raptured, and assured her that he felt
then as he felt now that in their thus
meeting, it. was the hand of fate that
had brought them face to face, al
though only for a moment.
It only remains to be added that so
ciety was much moved when the an
nouncement of their engagement was
published, that the marriage duly took
place from Norman-Iveep, the residence
of the earl and countess of Chesterman,
that Bruce Armitage was best man and
that lion, and Mrs. Bertie Milverton
lived happily ever afterwards.
much for destiny, and "those
lovely eyes!"

QUEER BOOKKEEPING.
The rrtmltlvu, Rut Accurate, Method ot
u Dakota Landlord.
There are more ways of keeping ac
counts than that which prevails in
business, and whicli needs ledgers,
cash books and single and double en
try.
Sometimes, In little country stores,
the proprietors of which know nothing
about bookkeeping, and probably just
as tnuch about figures, the accounts of
customers are kept as correctly as they
could 1)0 by a graduate of a business
college.
An old resident of Dakota recently
told a story illustrative of this primi
tive, but accurate, method of book
keeping.
"'1 here used," lie said, "to be a man
in Yankton whose system of keeping
accounts was wonderfully efficient,
fie kept u iiotel, and he could neitiier
reaii nor write, lie did not know how
to spell his own name, but he did a
thriving business, and collected every
dollar of his accounts.
"Once, years ago, when I first came
to this country, I went to his hotel
and stopped there two weeks. When
I left he presented me with a state
ment of what I owed him, and it was a
curiosity, lie had copied it from his
"ledger. At the top of the sheet there
was tiie rude picture of a soldier on
the march, and after it three straight
murks. Then there was a scene show
ing a man at table eating. Thou ap
peared a bed with a man in it. In the
amount column there was a picture of
a doll and after it the two letters US.
After the picture of the luau eating
there were forty-two marks. After
the view of the man in bed there were
fourteen marks. I looked at the ac
count, then at the proprietor, and told
him it would take mo a week to an
swer the conundrum. I was complete
ly stumped, and when that hotel man.
deciphered the account for me it was
this:
"The picture of the soldier walking
meant March, and the three marks
supplied the date, March S, when 1 be
gan boarding. The man at the table
with forty-two marks indicated that 1
had eaten forty-two meals. The man
in bed with fourteen marks showed
that I had slept in the house fourteen
nights. The doll with US after it
meant 'dollars,' and in the figure col
umns appeared the figures 14, which
was the amount 1 owed him. And it
was a true bill."
Why lie Was a Chicken.
Eight little boys got on a street-car
In a bunch, and it was soon demon
strated from their talk that they were
choir boys. The ladies in the ear
talked to them, and asked all sorts of
questions, and they responded willing
ly except one little fellow, who seemed
to be the butt of the other seven. "So
you all sing?" asked one of the ladies.
"Yes," answered three of the boys at
the same time. "Then you are regular
little canaries," said the lady. "I'm u
mocking bird," cried one boy. "I'm a
cuekoo," said another, until each boy
told what kind of a bird he was. Tho
eighth boy the butt before mentioned
—said nothing, until the lady laughing
ly inquired what kind of a bird he was.
"I expect, ma'am," he answered, dole
fally, "I must bo a chicken, from tho
way 1 get it in the neck all the time."
Tho Oue Great Drawback.
The author who pleased himself by
printing his third volume of poems
anonymously, and had nine copies of
the book presented to him by differ
ent friends tho next Christmas, would
have been ready to sympathize with a
little boy's remark quoted in Harper's
Magazine:
Willie was observed to be in deep
thought on Christmas afternoon, and
his mother asked him if he wasn't feel
ing well.
4 Oh, I'm all right," he answered, a
little sadly, "but I was thinking there
was one tiling about Christmas that I
didn't like.'•
"What is that?"
Lou've got to be satisfied with what
you get."

BABY IN WINTER.
How tut Little ni'iaurch Should Bo
Treated la Cold Weatli -p.
The baby's daily airing should be as
much a part of the winter as of I he sum
mer routine. From itscarliest infancy it
should he, not exposed to cold, of
course, allowed its full quota of nir
and sunshine. No child can possibly
thrive who breathes only the air of
furnace-warmed rooms uml sees the
sunshine only through the window
panes.
Of course. It should be warmly clad
to go out into the air. Over the white
house-slip a short jacket should be
worn and over that a long woolen
cloak. The hood should be of fine
wool, au l a line white veil should pro
tect the tender skin. As often as
possible the baby should bo carried in
the nurse's arms rather than rolled iu
the carriage, for except on unusually
bright and warm days the latter meth
od of taking exercise is too ehilliu".

well as of heating, and tlio air and

his little brothers and sisters, too, who
give us the same anxiety, night after

if small, bare legs do come uppermost
in our dreams. Mothers have tried so
many ways out of the difficulty, and
there are so many mothers, that
doubtless my own little plan is not at
all original, but it is good, and that is
better than originality. It is an im
provement on the old way of running
a string through the hem of the night
dress and drawing it up, because that
method cramps the feet somewhat and
makes them rebellious and uneasy.
For a bit of a two-year-old, five yards
of outing will make two gowns, aud six
yards will make two for the little four
year-old next in oyder. There are.
grades of outing flannel, but the soft
est, fufcziest is what is needed here',
and can be obtained at V2}-4 cents a
yard. First cut off sleeve lengths for
both little nighties, then halve the
goods left and lay aside one-half. Take
the other piece and fold it in the mid
dle, and proceed to shape the ends.
I'he shoulders and arm sizes may be
formed with the two ends together, as
they are the same for front and back,
and then the neck maybe cut iua shal
low slope behind and a deeper curve in
the front. Now you are ready to sew up
the sides "over and over," stitch the
shoulder seams and gather the neck
into a little, flat binding. Then cut
the sleeves, rounded a little at the top
and with only one perfectly straight
seam inside. The superfluous fullness
is gathered into a ruffle at the wrist,
with an elastic run into the top of the
hem so that it may sot very close to
tlio wrists and keep them warm. The
mittens are basted into the sleeves at
the wrists, aud if they are to he made
of outing to match the dress you will
need to get a little more goods, as the
live or six yards does not allow much
margin even for wee mittens. The
night dress opens behind, and the
opening should extend a long way
down as a needful convenience, and
be closed with five perfectly flat, small
buttons.
When the little gown is complete,
mittens and all, there is one defense
up against Jack Frost, anyway, and
other defenses are more easily erected
with its aid.
If desired, the sides of the gown may
bo gored a little, but the fuller the
folds at the throat the warmer it will
'make the dress.
Of course woolen goods may be sub
stituted for the outing, or any other
changes made, provided the bag is left!
And the bag must bo long, way below
the ten tittle toes, or else the ten little
toes will make strenuous objection.
As it is, there may be a little objection
at first, but when you have instituted
a jolly little "sack-race" to bed, I think
the little folks will come over to your
side in a majority.—Annie Hamilton
Donnell, in Country Gentleman.
