thirty years."
A moment after, three notes, clear as a
BIRDS call sounded from the direction with
er shes had vanished land Miss Rood's compan-
ion breaking Off short remark on the exces
sive dryness of the weather, bowed awkWardly
and disappeared among the shadows.
When Miss Rood laid her hand On Mr.,
Morgan's arm to recall him to the fact that
they were alone together, he turned quickly,
and his eyes swept her from head to foot and
then rested on her face with an expression of
intense curiosity and a wholly new interest,
as If he were tracing out suddenly sug-
gested resemblance which overwhelmed him
with emotion. And as he gazed, his eyes be-
gan to take fire from the faded features on
which they had rested so many years in mere
complacent friendliness, and she instinctiyey
averled her face. Long intimacy had made
her delicately sensitive to his moods, and
when he drew her arm in his and turned
to walk, although he had not uttered a word
she trembled with agitation.
MARY, we have had an extraordinary ex-
perience tonight" he said. The old dreami-
ness in his voice, as of one narcotized or in
trance, sometimes little forced, as of one
trying to dream, to which she had become
accustomed, and of which in her heart of
hearts she was very weary. was gone. In
Its place she recognized a resonance which
still further confused her with sense of
altered relations. His polarity had changed
his electricity was no longer negative, but
positive.
Her feminine instinct vaguely alarmed, she
replied: Eyes, indeed, but it is getting late.
Hadn't we better go in?' What lent the
unusual information of timidity to her voice +?
Certainly nothing that she could have ex-
planned.
''Not quite YET, Mary" he answered, turn
inghis ga le once more fully upon her.
Her eyes dropped before his, and mo.
ment after futtered up to find an explana.
ton for their behaviour, only to fall again in
DINO panic. For, mingling Enthusiastically
with the curiosity with which he was study
ing her features, was new born expression
OF appropriation and passionate complacency.
Her senses whlrled in bewilderment that
had a suttocating sweetness about it.
Though she now kept her eyes on the ground
she felt his constant sidewlse glances, and.
desperately seeking relief from the conscious
silence that enveloped them like vapor OF
intoxicating fumes, she forced herself to
utter the merest triviality she could summon
to her lips: 'See that house" The husky
tones betraying more agitation than the ruse
concealed.
lie answered as irreevantly as she had
spoken. Yes, indeed, so it is" That was
tnelr only attempt at conversation.
For halt-hour-it might have been much
more or much less-they walked in this way,
thrilling with the new magnetism that at
once attracted and estranged them with an
extraordinary sense of strangeness and fami-
iarity. At length they paused under the lii
Tile porch of Miss Rood's cottage, where he
commonly babe her good evening after their
walks. The timidity and vague alarms that
had paralyzed her while they were walking

disappeared as he was about to leave her, and
she involuntarily returned his unusual press
ure of her hand.
A long time after behold her still encircled
in his arms. not blushing, but pale, and her
eyes full OF a soft, astonished glow! ooh,
Robert!' was all she had said after one first
little gasp.
They never met George or Mabel again.
Mrs. Morgan learned subsequently, that two
young people from the city answering their
description had been guests at the opposite
house, and had left Plainfield the morning
after the events hereinbefore set forth, and
drew her conclusions accordingly. But her
husband preferred TO cherish the secret be-
lief that his theory that memories might be-
come visible had proved true in one instance
at least.

Our Sunday Schools.

Our city sabbath schools are ilourshing
finely. Our opinion Is that there is not city
in the State that can boast offs large alten.
dances, according to the number of inhabi-
tants, as Wichita. Last Sabbath there were
present at The Methodist Sabbath schoo
three hundred and thlrly-ssix. In W L.
SANKEY'S class the infant department., there
were Just one hundred aud foriy-one, the
largest infant class, we will venture to say, in
the State. AT the Presby terrain we find one
hundred and seyeHty-ons engaged ia their
scripturll lessons. The Episcopal school
held Its second session last Sabbath since
its organization with the fattering number
OF eighty-siX. The Baptist school numbered
seventy. The German Methodsts, one hun
bred and twenty-five. The coored Metho.
dsss. eighteen. The Catholics have large
school also, swelling The number more than a
hundred more. The United Presbyterian,
also have school, but we were unable to get
the number in attendance. Almost if mo-
quite thousand Sunday school children AMI
workers in 4 city with but about four thou
sand five hundred inhabitants. Almost one
fourth OF the people living in the city attend

The afternoon session was particularly en-
jpyable being full OF good thoughts and good
feeling. The question drawer was fully sup
piled with questions which were neither ster :
eotyped ncr visionary, but evidently repre-
scented actual needs, and as such were credit
able to the questioners.
Fully two-thirds ofthe workers present too k
part in the discussions, and this, together
with the singing and lunch, did much to make
the Convention wha. it was-a decided sue :
cess.
