glanced at the billet and laughed; then
paused and said:
''Ne use of my trip up five pair of
stairs. Mr.. Robert Watson has the free
dom of this house for the next five sea-
sons"
And down stairs he went again, while
the open cared maid, having lost not a
word, returned to her mistress to find
her absorbed in penning another note.
This was written with great care, and
many pauses. 1t was finally finished,
and read as follows;
''Mr. Watson will please excuse the
boldness of this note; but having been a
witness to the meeting between yourself

clined TO go direct to such trees without
clustering, and in such cases their flight

Bees generally remain in the cluster
from one to twenty-four hours. Indeed,
if not hived, they will sometimes remain
and die where they cluster, dwindling
away by degrees; consequently it is best
to have hives ready and hive them as
soon after swarming as possible, and
they may be carried Immediately to the
stand where they are to remain for the
season, or they may be left till evening,
and then removed. 1t does not make
much or any difference which way is
adopted.

On that third evening of his changed
fortunes, when the Sappho of the Cas-
cades snnihilated him, greatly to the
pleasures Of the young "bloods" around
her, Watson wandered away at length
upon the piazza, then up through the
long, deserted halls, restless, thought
full, digesting the notes which he had
been taking Of human nature and trying
to fix the relative value OF a man with
out money. 1t was the crystalline truth
he was Iearning-not the truth in mere
solution. sometimes clear, sometimes
Opaque, but always thin, but the pre-
cipitated, hard singular, clear cut crys-
tails Of experience, mined in unexpsct-
cd places. Had he remained upon the
second floor, never would he have OBJ
tanned the goms; the mere solution only
would have repaid his keenest Search
But that migration to the upper spaces
bad given him a wondeous lens; his
horizon was SO immeasurably extended
that barring the fact that his bill was un-
paid, he was the happier, because wiser,
Tor the upward reverse.
Suddenly, in his solitary promenade,
he confronted the heiress. She was
walking arm in arm with young Evans,
of her "set," in confidential communica-
ton 1t would appear. else why should
they have been in that long hall alonef
asked Watson, as, with glance, he took
In the situation. This meeting was a
surprise to both parties, and theinclina-
tion Of both men was to pass without re-
cognition. Evans, indeed, frowned;
Watson flush in anger, and with head
erect bore down and passed his enemies,
like suspended or cashiered officer OF
the line, conscious Of his soldierly quail
tiles, but equally conscious of his "al-
tered circumstances"
Too high he hold hir head, in fact, for
he caught no soft glance from the lady's
eye, and trod SO firmly upon the trail OF
her elegant evening dress as to cause 8
perceptible cracking of seams at the skirt
pleats. Evans turned with a sudden
anger.
"Doltr' he Missed.
Watson passed on, staying to make nc
apology, but he heyrd the lady say:
"Fie, it is nothing;' and he was con-
scious, too, that she was locking at him
wonderingly.

on the second floor to little seven by
fourteen room on the fifth floor.
How quickly it became known that
that change had been made. Every
servant in the house betrayed the
knowledge in the absence of the usual
difference paid the possessors of SPAR
lors." Attsinner, the "boy" who had
been only too eager to anticipate Mr..
Watson's wants, suddenly became OBJ
livious to those wants, and only an@
swered them after fppeatod orders. The
cashier and register clerk, always SO OBJ
sequious, grew dignifed and Indifferent.
Only the -urbane naajor preserved
kindly greeting for the guest too poor
to pay his bill, and remaining by suffer

"Queer," thought the hotel proprietor.
"He certainly had money enough when
he came, for he deposited cool 81, 900
in the safe. He hasn't been fast, am
certain, and his habits have been 80
good that the young bloods have rather
played off from hipa.-s But he has been
a favorite. Not sIbslle-in the room but

Watson, hailing from Baltimore, had
been season guest at the Cascade
Friends he had in plenty. He was
courteous, well bred, good looking, in
telligent, and, apparently, rich-what
more could be asked? Among the la
dies, he had moved quite a prince; and
many were the gossamer webs woven as
tolls to capture him, but to all he prov
ed very iucorrigible recusant--he
would not be any ones prize. The ex-

ferent. He still frequented the piazzai
and parlors, giving every friend, NAL,
or female, ample opportunity to "cut
his acquaintance" or otherwise TO
express themselves. 1t was somewhat
curious to note the progress of his de.
cline, not his fall, for Watson had that
in his character construction which.
even in poverty and trial would pre
serve him from sacrifice of personal
dignity and self reliance. But that he
was on the decline, became to him a
sorrowful fact.

to behold your position in society grad
ully slipping away, to realize that no
longer you are held In coveted consider
alton by a chosen few, is, ordinarily,
source of sorrow. But, in Watson's
case, 1t was dificult to determine how
keenly the knife cut to the quick of his
sensibilities, for, while every acquaint-
ance was given full facilities for doing
the disagreeable office of giving the
"cold shoulder" the Baltimorean an

was as unmoved, when passed by asup-

Into the parlors, during the evening
he particularly pressed his way. If
bevy of gay fellows surrounded Miss
Mountjoy, he worked his way to the
circle, and, at last, received from that
lady with Sappho-like lips his discharge.
She did most gracefully and crushingly
turn her back upon him not three days |
after his removal from the second floor. |
Miss Dumain he sought, confident
that one SO artless certainly would be

were fixed fully on his face, and plainly
said, "Sir, we are strangers"

Strangely enough, the proud and ex-

"a fear, apparently, which made Miss
Percy shy, rather than naughty; and
Watson, began to catch glimpses of

OF course the wealthy Miss Oromanes
would scorn his further friendly reIa- o
ions. Her rooms were near his own

We have hitherto supposed you to be q

half in scorn and half in humor of the
fact so opportunely given him to crush
another.
The hot blood flew to Watson's face {:
his hands were clenched as If to strike !;
but by strong effort, he mastered his
passion.
"Evars, no gentleman, ever would
have uttered that sentence. Only a cow
ard would fling another's poverty in his
face. Miss Oromanes, educated as she
has been to give a virtue to wealth,
might find in my inability to pay my

his way to his attic room.
This scene, overheard by several gem
