that some things were only make believe
with this wonderful new doctor. But If
Allie thought so, Allie was right. Her
hope and courage grew with Increasing
strength from that date. Her eyes refused
to weep even when she child them, and
though she willed the tears to fall never so
much. Her voice had found n quaver of
fresh happiness running side by side with
its most touching pathos. She did not
trouble herself any longer TO make believe
when she and Allie were alone.
One evening, some ladies calling, she had
taken them into another room. In the
meantime DIR. Spencer, sauntering leisure
ly up to the door, seated himself at Allies
feet. The child, without needing him. con-
unued her imagined conversation. "The
new doctor wouldn't let Mrs. Windslip
kiss me to-day, Nab, when she offered.
That saved me one wasp-sting. l think,
Mabby, the doctor is going TO ask mamma
TO let him come here and live with us all
the time"
The tall, bearded Doctors face grew pale
and red by turns as he listened. Strongly
excited, he leaned over breathlessly toward
the little oracle. "would mamma let me
come here and live? ?" he whispered.
Allies sghtless eyes turned toward him
wonderingly. Her breath came and went
as though she had been awakened by sud
den pain. At the moment Mrs. Dandy
came into the room, and stood looking
from one TO the other, startled and troub-
led.

er or not you will let me come and live
here. May come, Mary ?" asked the
doctor, rising to his feet.
"Mamma will say yes Mabby. Listen -
murmured the child with a pleased sigh.
eve shall all be so happy"
When the mother heard this she said
Eyes" without delay. The doctor strobe
over toward her well pleased. Allie bab-
bled on softly to the unseen confidante, and
the other pair went on cooling even more
deliciously on the other side of the room.
In another month the new doctor had
come to live here always, only going away
to lool, after such patients rs lCoUid get sick
in the plcasantest village in the valley, and
along the greenest hill-sides in the world.
Allie gene rally rode with him in all wealth
er, and al ways with the keenest enjoyment.
She soon found the lost roses for her
checks; and with them slowly came back
again the mental powers which had been
so long astrdy.
The next year, when baby brother came
to gladden. the household, Allie held him
in her arms at sunset, singing pleasant
lullaby. She could never look upon his
beloved face, and she knew now that Nab
had gone, and yet her heart was full OF hap
| pincss and gratitude. There in the old
stone house Of yore there was a new happy
family; and the dear little mother had be-
come wiser and better woman, but she
was almost as light hearted as ever.

Through the windows many tinted
Crept the crimson evening light
wreathing round the white haired bridegroom
And tho bride arrayed in white.
Standing still before the altar,
While tho priest with reverent air,
Unto each proclaimed his "wilt thou7"
Over both pronounce his prayer.
Faltered somehow in the saying,
That low eyes" which bound her life;
Fettered fast to his beside her,
Chained her there his welded wife.
From the fair cathedral windows,
Ere the solemn rite was done,
Faded all the royal beauty
OF the crimson setting sun.
As though only shade and darkness
Cared upon the scene to gaze,
While the DEVILS work was doing
In the courts Of sacred praise.

Ono had loved her passing well
Lovel this man, old man, her husband,
Viewed II as a bagateile.
He, with all the world behind him,
Sated with its vice and sin;
She, novice on the threshold,
Angel, kept from entering in.
She, with only sweet.girl memories,
Written on her flower like face;
lie, with years Of mammon service,
Soaring every mimic grace.
lie, whose very dreams afrrighted,
Shuddered at his youths desert;
She, whose lily hand, back reaching,
Clasped her childhood's fleeting skirt!
Marry those Wed truth and falsehood?
Bind the living and the dead?
Tie the white dove to the vulture,
With prayer above them said?
Where, o parents! was your tender
Love that uttered no protest?
While like some poor slave you sold her,
Sweetest birding in your nest.
How you1l listen for her singing
when her voice Of song s fled
How youll miss her ringing laughter
When her soul of mirth is dead
She will be stately lady
Gems will deck that lily hand;
Will she be happy woman?
Nay! Not all her splendor grand
Can shut out one thought Of heart break
Can keep out one youthful face;
Haunting with its youthful memory,
Every year and every place.

The CELEBRATED ELEPHANT ROMEO,
which died at Chicago last week, has an
eventful history, having killed five keep
ers since his advent in America, besides
destroying any number of fences, barns,
garden patches, corn fields, orchards, etc.
He was purchased by an agent of j. Mahie
in Calcutta, about 25 years ago, having been
taken from brick yard, where he was be-
ing used in grinding clay. The price paid
for him was $4,000 in gold, and he was
brought to America along with nine others.
In 1852, while south of New Orleans, he
killed his keeper, known as "Long john"
whose successor, "Frenchy" Williams,
shared the same fate near Houston, Texas,
in 1855 a third, Stewart Craven, was killed
in lSG0 near Cedar Rapids, Iowa; the
fourth, Bill Williams, was sent to his last
account in Philadelphia in 1867 and the
fifth, named McDevtt, in Ohio in 1869 COM
pleted the list of Romeo's victims. In the
winter of 1868 he made himself disagreea-
bly, conspicuous in Chicago, by tearing to
pieces the building in which he was con-
fined, on the site of the present city hall,
and rushing out on the street in reckless
manner, greatly to the alarm Of the inhab-
itants who brought out cannon to cope
with the formidable monster, but he was
recaptured before further damage was done.
Similar depredations have been committed
by him in various places, and his grim
hide now bears the scars of numerous bull
lets and red hot irons used to subdue him.
His LEFT eye was shot out in 1865, near Phil
adelphia. He was bought in 1868 by Ad-
am Forepaugh at an auction sale of Mabie's
menagerie, $4,000 being the price paid.
He as held to be worth at least twice that
sum, Mr.. Forepaugh having been offered
$4,000 year for the use of him five years.
His weight, when in full flesh, was TO- 1853
pounds, and he stood IL feet p inches high.
He was supposed to be about one hundred
years old.
