The first tears had just splashed
down when the door opened and

and calm as May morning; but

"You are not good at telling sto-

"You are pale and thin Clifford"

makes me look pale. Ihave splen'

"Indeed!'
"Yes, Mr.. James is SO kind and

TWILL" said slowly, and then he
drew me to him, and kissed me, to
the horror of old Miss Peters, who
happened to come in.
So we were married, and went on
a modest little trip to the seaside
One evening as our little boat drifted
idly over the smooth, shimmering
waters of the bay, my husband pro

"You said your property was all

"No, 1 told you the bank was broke,
but I din't say my money was in it,"
he said smiling, Then he bent, and
tenderly said:
"My darling, | love you so truly l
could not let pride part us-besides,

TIE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY.
The Pride of Cnpitol IiIIl,

The progress Of Improvements iu East Wush-
incton Is not only enhancing the value Of real
estate in that section, but drawing on the resi-
dent population from other localities Of the
city to make homes there. While many at
tractiyc residences have sprung up ON Capitol
Hill and east Of Il recently, still, without
doubt, the most handsome square to hc found
In that part oi the District is the the we'll
known Grant block, on East Capitol street,
between Second aud Third streets. ItcInssts
of O row Of fourteen prtssCd.brick fronts, three
story aud basement, with bay windows. At
taChud to each house Is u fine lawn, front aud
rear-the former being Gmbellished with fouu-
tains. shubbery, and beds studded with bcauti-
ful flowers, while buttng the latter Is pressed
brick front stables, two stUIies in height, and
provided with every convenience that can be
suggested for the comfort Of animals and pro-
lection of property. General A. Grant, having
by u recent decision of the supreme Court Of
the District regained control Of his property, is
now putting it in thorough repair and has
already expended several thousand dollars in
that direction, as the row was IN wrctChed
state when returned TO his possession. The
stables destroyed by fire will also be rebuilt
Immediately.
Each Of these noble residences contains fiji.
tccn rooms and three bath rooms, and they
having been supplied with all the modern
improvements, are thereby made the most
desirable of homes. In the erection and
completion Of this block fully 100000 has been
expended, and 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that the dwellings are in every way superior
to majority OF those erected in this city,
Another advantage to this location for tenant
is the fact that tho old wood pavement is being
removed from that popular thOrOughfare, East
Capitol street, and one Of asphalt being sub,
stitutcd therefor. As General Grant desires to
have tenants ia his houses that will do them
honor, he is cautious that only proper and re.
spunsiblc pcrsOus secure them. Incidental
to that matter, II may he stated that General
Williamson, Of the Land. Office, aud Major
Powell, with the principal members Of his
surveying prtv, occupy residences in the row.
The block Is both handsome in appearance aud
inviting and ere many days the General will
enjoy the satisfaction Of knowing that he has
not q vacant house ia the block
