808 WHITE.
Bob White from the fence rail is oalling.
The Held for the harvest Is brown.
Cool dews on tho hedgerows are falling
As backward I come from the town.
A yoar 'mid Its din I've been working,
But now, at the border cf night,
I pass where the deer-inlce ure lurking
And hear the shy call of Bob White.
X pause by the wayside uncertain,
A lauo branohos off. and I see
A light and a snowy chintz curtain,
Familiar as daybreak to me;
And memories are rising unbidden,
Of evos that were full of delight,
When 1 by the heJgeroses hidden
Hocked gsyly the call of Bob Whits.
And one in the doorway was listing,
A 'kerchief thrown over her head,
Who came at the sound to our trystlng.
Iler cheeks as the roses were red,
Like gold of the harvest her tresses,
Her step as the thistledown light;
Sweet hour of love's vows and caresses
Foretold by tho call of Bob White.
The tears from my eyes overflowing,
Fall down on the wild roses' bloom;
'Tls manly to weep at the knowing
Life's blossom has lost Its perfume.
A quarrel, cold words, and wo parted;
I noticed her check had grown white,
She left me alone broken-hoartcd,
Alone in the lano with Bob White.
Just onee for the sake of old pleasures,
To-night 1 will play we forget,
And whistle the well-recalled measures
That farmers translato as "More Web."
Tho door Is thrown open. I wonder
If ghosts walk abroad In the night.
No, ihore is hor faoe smiling under
Tho 'kerchief; she's comlDg, Bob White.
But what was the past to the present?
A year has but deepened qur love;
From tbelr hiding plaoe partridge and
pheasant
Peep out as we pass, and above
Tho robins are chirping together.
Oh, everything's bonny and bright,
Our llfo shall be all pleasunt weather;
Cull on, from tho fenco rail, Bob White.

A LITTLE RIFT.
BY T. E. DESCOUK&
"Am I to send Valerie's breakfast up,
Rex, or will she join us this morning?'*
"Yes, sho'll be down directly, Kate;
she's got a new gown or something,
and she is delighted with herself and
everyone else."
Mr. llamblin took up a pile of letters
beside his plate and began examining
their contents; one in a delicate fem
inine handwriting caught his eye; it
had been left by hand at the club, and
sent on immediately by the hall porter.
An exclamation of annoyance escaped
him as he cut open the envelope; his
sister, howover, was busy with the dis
position of the breakfast cups and did
not notice it.
"Was the party a success?" she
asked; "did Valerie enjoy herself?"
"A success? Yes, I suppose so," he
answered without looking up; "there
was a terrible crush, aud the air wan
positively suffocating with the scont
of the flowers, and the hoat of the
lights, so of course, Valerie enjoyed
herself!"
"Of course she did!" said a voice
from the door, and Rex hastily put
down his letter, while Miss llamblin
looked up expectantly.
Valerie came slowly forward, un
willing to lose any of the effect of her
dainty costume even on this family
audience.
"llow lovely!" cried Miss llamblin
with real enthusiasm as hur sister-in
law drew near her.
Tall, dark, with her soft hair fan
tastically caught on the crown of her
head I) 3' a silver dagger, while stray
curls escaped iu all directions, with
her filmy inualiu gown clinging round
her iu its studiously simple elegance,
she looked like some delicate pastel
which had just stepped from its frame.
"Isn't it charming?" bLc said, with a
laugh, as she suddenly dropped into
her chair at the table. "Don't you
like it, Rex?" sho asked coquettishl}'
of her husband; and then, without
waiting for hia answer, she addressed
herself to Miss llamblin: "You should
have come with us, Kate; it was de
lightful! Oh, I did not think 3 r ou Eng
lish could say so many pretty things
as I heard last night."
Miss llamblin laughed.
"I don't suppose many would have
come to my ears, dear, if I had been
there."
Valerie glanced half involuntarily at
her sister-in-law, and oould scarcely
suppress a smile at the notion of those
middle-aged ears being the recipients
of such compliments as had reached
hers last night. Had anybody ever
made love to Kate, sho wondered?
Kate could never have been pretty;
even when she was young, ever so long
ago. Rex was not handsome, either,
and he was fifteen years younger than
his sister, but he had a certain dis
tingue air about him which had fasci
nated her the very first evening she
saw him at tho British Tembassy ball
at Rome. It had soon been all over
and done; in just six weeks from that
first meeting the Signorina Valerie del
Lucia had become plain Mrs. Hambliu.
Valerie's thoughts were apt to run
on by leaps aud bounds, and, while
Miss llamblin poured out her coffee,
she reflected with some complacency
that there were advantages in the mar
ried state, when it implied dainty
morning gowns like this, and dreams
of loveliness from Worth's, in place of
the one party frock per season, to
which all tho ingenuity of a clever
maid could not alwa3's impart a look of
absolute freshness; besides, of course,
there was Rex, who was charming
and— But she had arrived at this
stage of her reflections when she be
came aware that her coffee cup was
being handed to her, and immediately
she returned to the exigencies of the
moment and set about discussing her
breakfast and her party with equal
ze6t.
"Do you know, Rex," she said, "you
hurried me off last uight without giv
ing me time" to say good night to
Guido?"
"Ah, your brother was there?" asked
Miss Hamblin, quickly.
"Yes; he was the life and soul of the
whole party, as usual! Do you know,
Kate, when we were children 1 used to
say that when I grew up I would raar
ry him, because he was handsomer and
cleverer than anyone else I knew?
Dear Guidol What a man he is. There
are not many like him."
Mr. llamblin jerkcil his chair impa
tiently.
"1 always wonder, Rex, why it is that
you do not get on with Guido; he is so
easy to please. Bat somehow you
two—"
Miss llamblin broke in quickly: "Who
else wan at Lady Meredyth's, Valerie?"
"Oh, you'll see the whole list in the
Morning Post, dear. But, as usual, the
one person I wanted to 6ee was not
there."
"And who was that?"
"Mrs. Lascelles."
Both Rex and his sister looked up
sharply.
"Mrs. Lascelles?"
"Yes. Guido introduced ut the other
day in the park! She is perfectly
charming, and a great friend of his."
Miss llamblin fidgeted nervously
with the cups, and llamblin threw
down his serviette so impatiently that
it jerked to the lloor some of his opened
letters; an envelope fluttering to Val
erie's feet, she stooped and picked it up.
"Why, Rex, who is this from?" she
asked, curiously, glancing at the deli
cate feminine writing, under which, in
the club porter's clumsy hand, was tlie
home address.
llamblin frowned angrily.
"It's a business letter," lie answered,
shortly.
"Oh," and Valerie was about to put
it down when her eye caught the gilt
monogram "8. L." "I didn't know
business people wrote on paper like
this, they don't in Italy," she added
quietly, then, turning to Miss llamblin,
but still retaining the envelope, she
continued: " Guido brought me a
message from Mra Lascelles, though;
she wants me to not in some tableaux
vivauts she is getting up on the 12th
of next month; I am to choose iny own
characters and do whatever 1 like;
isn't it delightful?"
"What did you say?"
"My dear Kate, I said I should be
charmed!"
Rex looked up.
"I hope you don't really mean that,
denr?"
"Why?"
"Because I cannbt possibly allow you
to do anything of tho kind."
Valerie stared at him in astonish
ment. "But I tell you I have already
accepted, the Idea pleases me, and I
have no intention of giving it up,"
added Valerie, with decision.
"My dear child, you must let me de
cide that for you. You cannot possi
bly take part in these tableaux of Mrs.
Lascelles."
"And why not?" askod Valerie, petu
lantly, Irritated hy the unwonted con
tradiction.
"Because Mrs. Lascelles Is not a
woman whom I choose to have you
associate with."
Mrs. llamblin's face flushed. "She
is my brother's friend."
"Exactly," replied Rex, lua tone that
spoke volumes.
"Rex, how dare you insinuate such
things? Guido would not wish me to
know anyone who was not nice. He
particularly asked me to be friends
with Mrs. Lascelles, and I will do all I
can to please him."
"My dear Valerie," began Rex, but
slie interrupted quickly:
"You are Jealous of Guido! jealous
because he is so much better looking
and more popular than you! I have
noticed it ever since he has been in
London. I will not have my brother
slighted, nor his friends, and I shall
go and call on Mra Lascelles this very
afternoon."
"You will do nothing of the kind,
Valerie," said Rex, in a tone which
was new to his wife. "The woman is
the talk of the town, and I won't have
you mixed up with her. Stella Las
celles' name is in every man's mouth."
"Stella Lascelles!—S. L!"—exclaimed
Valerie, whose eyes had wandered to
tho envelope, "and her letters are
in every man's pocket, too, I suppose.
I understand now why you do not wish
me to meet her."
"Valerie!" cried Kato, putting her
hand on the girl's arm.
"Leave me alone, Kate!" she said,
impatiently, her face white and her
eyes lowering. "Do you suppose lam
such a ohild as not to see through
this?"
"You are talking such abject non
sense that it is not worth contradict
ing," said Rex, rising from the table
and unfolding a newspaper.
"Nonsense? Then show me the letter
that envelope contained."
"1 shall do nothing of the sort."
"Of course not; I can quite under
stand that. A business letter."
"If you believe—"
"Will you tell me it is not from Mrs.
Lascelles?"
"1 will tell you nothing at all!" he
exelaimed, striding towards tho door.
"As you please."
Kate watched them a moment—he,
standing by the open door of the tiny
greenhouse which led from the dining
room, a look of pain and trouble on
liis face; she, her chair pushed back
from the table, her whole bearing
sullen and'doflant; Miss llamblin had a
shrewd idea that she ,held the key of
the situation, which her brother was
trying to hide from his wife. What was
sho to do?
Kate Hamblin had been" mother and
sister and friend to her only brother
too long not to understand him
thoroughly. She loved him too well
to have harbored any small jealousy
towards the wife ho had chosen; and,
thanks to hor tact, the menage a
trois had always till now rolled on
oiled wheels. But Kate had not spent
six months in her sister-in-law's so*
ciety without gaining some insight
into her character. She knew that
Valerie was fonder of her husband
than she herself realized, but that
hers was not a nature which easily
forgave, and she felt that if this
grievance were allowed to take root In
the girl's mind it might be productive
of serious trouble hereafter. After
a second's hesitation, Miss Hamblin
followed her brother into the green
house.
When, after a few minutes, she re
turned, Valerie was still in the same
position, only her face was a little
harder, her lips a little more set.
"My dear Valerie," she said, putting
a hand on her shoulder, "will you
listen to me?"
"Excuse me, Kate," replied Mrs.
llamblin; "you are very kind, out this
is a matter between Rex and me, and
no one else has anything to do with
It"
"Oh, yes, they have. And I'm going
to t£ll you how. Now, my dear little
sister, I am such a very old woman
next to you, that you must listen to
me. I have wanted Rex to tell you
about it long ago, but ho was afraid of
hurting you, and—"
"Oh, I know, we are not supposed to
concern ourselves about our husband's
past; but to think, Kate, that we have
Dot been married a year, and she writes
to him!"
There was a tremble in the voice
which touched Kate.
"Mrs. Lascelles? Oh, but .she hasn't
much to do with the matter."
The tears which had been gathering
in Valerie's eyes dried suddenly as she
gave an ugly little laugh.
"Of course not! That's why Rex
wouldn't show me the letter!"
"Would you like to see it?" asked
Miss llamblin, quietly, holding out the
scented paper. Valerie put out her
hand eagerly.
"Let me tell you something first,"
urged Kate, but the girl had alroady
seized it and was reading it.
"Dbar Mr llamblin: I have to consult you
on a very dol'.cato mattor. Your brother-in
law has latoly boon a constant visitor at ray
hoaso: we are fond of a little baccarat. In
which he often Joins us: last night ho was un
lucky and lost olght hundred pounds to mo;

puz/.led by the ono on tho cheque In quostlon,
which seems to mo curiously unlike tho others
—will you como and r. ce mo about it as soon as
you caa Yours sincerely,
"Stella Lascelles "
Valerie read tho letter through twice
and then turned a bewildered face to
her companion.
"I don't understand it; what does it
all mean?"
"My poor child, it means a very seri
ous thing—"
"But what lias Guido to do with it?"
"My dear, Guido has got into a bad
set in London; ho knows too many
women like Mrs. Lascelles; he has lost
terrible sums at cards since ho has
been here."
"But how could he? Guido is poor—"
"Yes, but Rex is rich; he has helped
him. You see what that woman says:
my brother has paid debt after debt
for Guido until, at last, the other day,
he said he would pay no more."
"But tills cheque of eight hundred
pounds then?"
"That cheque was not signed by
Rex; Guido must have tried to imi
tate—"
"Kate!" cried Valerie, understand
ing at last, and starting to her feet.
"Guido has done that! Oh, how terri
ble. What will happen to him?"
"Nothing! You don't suppose that
Rex would allow anything to happen
to anyone you caro for? Valerie, don't
you understand that my brother loves
you?"
But Valerie had left her side; she
was hurrying towards the greeuhousc,

doors.—Black and Wliito.
CARRIER PIGEONS.
How the Messages Are Attached to the
Swift Birds.
Do Witt C. Loekwood writes for St.
Nicholas an article describing the mail
service by carrier pigeens established
between Los Angeles and Suuta Cata
lina, Cal. Ho says:
The message, when sent by the
Catalina carriers, is always written on
sheets of tissue paper four inches wide
and ten inches long. Four of these
slips will contain enough written mat
tor to fill a columu or more of an ordi
nary daily paper, by which it will bo
seen 1 hat the birds can carry a very
considerable amount of correspondence.
It may be interesting to know that dur
ing the Franco-German war, when
large numbers of carrier-pigeons were
employed with great success, tho mes
sages were printed by microphotog
rapy on fine waterproof films, by which
method an almost incredible amount of
correspondence could bo forwarded by
a single bird. According to a French
newspaper, nearly two million dis
patches were carried by pigeons during
the siege. The birds were taken ouj. of
Paris in balloons.
There are various methods of at
taching the message. After folding
the written slips together length wise
in the middle, then over and over
three or four times, the whole may be
rolled up tightly into a drum-shaped
pellet, secured with a bit of twine, and
then tied to the bird's leg; or else the
narrow folded slips iaay be wound
round and round the leg, exactly as
you would apply a bandage to a sore
finger. Sometimes the message is at
tached to the wing or tail feathers, or
fastened about the body of the bird,
but not always with the best results.
The wcll-knowrt figure, on certain
valentines, of a huge envelope with
"Love to Thee" inscribed thereon, the
v/liole tied about the neelc of a dove
with a yard or more, apparently, ol
pale blue ribbon, is undoubtedly re
sponsible for the prevailing belief
that this method is the one generally
employed. It was no uncommon thing
to have a man rush into the oilicc with
a yellow envelope, duly sealed and ad
dressed, almost as large as the pigeon
itself, expecting the bird to carry it (in
his beak, probably) across the channel.
After a few experiences of this kind
the boys were not at all surprised when
somebody wanted to know if he could
get a bird to take over an umbrella for
him.

Bavaria's Oculist Duka and His
Beautiful Wife.
Three Eye Hospitals Are Now Maintained
l>y the Koyal Couple-—SchloM Te
gernsee, the Favorite Retreat
of Curl Tlieodor.
The third of six beautiful and tal
ented sisters. Princess Maria Josepha
of Braganza, became the second wife
of the celebrated ro3*al oculist, Duke
Carl Tlieodor of Bavaria, on April 21),
18*74.
No married life could be more simple
or linppy than that led by Duke
and Duchess Carl Tlieodor, surrounded
by their five children, three daughters
and two sons—Princess Sophie, born in
1875; Princess Elizabeth, 1870; Princess
Marie, 1878; Prince Ludwig Willielm,
in 1884, and Prince Franz Joseph, the
godson of the emperor of Austria, on
March 23, 1888.
The duke and duchess, says the
Gentlewoman, lead a very busy, useful
life, for the duke has no less than three
eye hospitals under his charge, which
he has himself founded, the principal
and favorite of which is at the royal
schloss at Tegernsee, in Bavaria. The
others are at Muni ah and Meran, at all
of which places he spends a part of
tlie year with his family. His royal
highness performs the operations very
early in the morning (in summer at
half-past six), aud lie is almost always
assisted by the duchess, who takes the
greatest interest in her husband's work,
and who is herself a very skillful
trained nurse. lie also sees all patients
early in the morning, and, as may be
imagined, tlie poor look upon him al
most with worship, and have an equal
adoration for the beautiful duchess.
The hospital of Tegernsee, which is
in the old royal schloss, now the prop
erty of the duke, can accomodate sixty
patients, each ward containing from
four to six beds. No fees are taken at
any of the three hospitals, but there
are boxes in which richer patients are
expected to place a contribution, the
money being devoted to the deserving

poor of the place. Duke Carl Tlieodor
is the only royal oculist who exists, and
when first he announced his intention
of studying medicine, in order that he
might spend his life and talents in the
service of the sick and suffering, every
one declared that it was an unheard of
thing for a prince of royal blood to
adopt any profession but that of arms.
The duke, however, was wiser than
his generation, and preferred to heal
tlio sick rather than to infiict wounds,
and his name will live longer and be
more loved by generations to come than
that of any soldier, however brave and
noble his life may have been. The
duke could nowhere have found a
nobler and more unselfish wife than
the duchess, for she enters heart and
soul into his philanthropic work, and
so thoroughly understands the great
nature of her husband.
It often happens that a clever woman
is domineering and unainiablc, but this
is not the case with her, for she has the
sweetest and most unselfish nature,
and is always thoughtful and consider
ate to her attendants, who are one and
nil devoted to her. Her tact in dealing
both with high and low is unfailing,
and she is as great a favorite with all
the relations of her husband as with
her own family.
The duchess has many interests in
life, and one of her chief hobbies "is en
gineering; she takes an immense in
terest in machinery of all descriptions,
and, what is very rare in a woman,
thoroughly understands tlie subject.
In appearance she is vervqucenl3\ with
a perfectly beautiful face, and lovely
eyes, full of expression, tho greatness
of her soul showing plainly when she
speaks, but perhaps her greatest
charms are her womanliness and the
tenderness that she shows to tho poor
patients when she is assisting her hus
band in a painful and difficult opera
tion.
Schloss Tegernsee is beautifully sit
uated on tho Lake of Tegernsee, al
most on the edge of the water. Tegern
see is a very ancient town, founded by
two brothers, Count Ottokar and Count
Adalbert, in the year 740. It is now a
very pretty, quiet place, greatly fre
quented by the inhabitants of Munich,
who came there on account of the pure
nesa of the air and the beauty of tho
scenery.
The ancient schloss, which was for
merly a monastery, became a private
residence in the year 1808, and in 1817
became the property of King Maxi
milian I. of Bavaria. The king made
it his summer residence, and generally
spent several months there every year.
Now it is the property of Duke Carl
Theodor who has put it to a .noble
use, and has made Tegernsee the center
of charitable work among the poor.
The hospital is situated in one wing
of the schloss, as the duke finds it most
convenient to have his patients under
his own rooC No royal duke and
duchess in all Europe lead such truly
unselfish lives as the Duke and Duchess
Carl Theodor of Bavaria, and if only
his example will be followed by those
who are talented among the royal and
noblo families of Germany, only good
would come to the JT&theriand.
