Uaking Up a Stranger.

The other day q gigantic strang-
or, with fists like footballs and
muscle of about four.horsc power,
entered the gcntlemen's waiting
room at the Union depot, flung
down his hat, and falling back on
one Of the benches, roared out:
"f'm halehyona and half-ugcr,
and ! banker for bloodl I'm go
ing to sleep, and tho man who even
moves his foot to wake me up will
fool with q cyolono!"
There were ten or twelve men in
there, and they sat very erect and
hardly darod to breathe for the
next ton minutes. Then one of
them got chance 10 whisper to n
policeman through an open WIN
dow, When the officer came in
tho crowd rushed cut, believing
that he would be eaten up in two
minutes. The officer didn't aoom
to have any fear, however, hut his
faco wore smile as ho walked ov-
or to the sleeper, tapped him on
the shoulder with his baton and
suid:
"Come, captain, get up"
Tho stranger opened one eye, but
did not move,
"Come. major" continued the
officer.
That man shut that eye and OPP
ened the other, but yet did not
arise.
"Como, colonel, you'll he late for
the train," said tho officer.
Spid any ono oall .mc?" asked
tho man, rs he sat up and looked
around.
"ies, general, was saying that
You had botter wake up or some
one might steal your valuahlos."
"YeS-an--tlat is-of course I'll
wake up. YOU are Il No. ono po.
liccman, sir-the finest officer l
ever met. Lets shake! I'll 60
right out with yuu-of course I'll
go" -.

strange language for you to use to
me-"
"Bcrtic BERTHE! Don't you know
l love you?"
"Arc you not engaged 10 Eta? |
was under that impression"
"Thcn let INC say it was false
one. Miss Eta is not lady |
would chose for q wife; but you
arc my ideal of what 4 woman
should be, darling, and if you will
be my wife l am sure you will never
have cause to regret it. Will you,
Bcrtic?"
She did not answer him in
words, but he read 4 favorable an
swer in her downcast face, and
sealed their bctrothal with kiss.
At that moment Eta stood in
the doorway; she turned very pale,
and then went away as silently as
she came.
The next morning she received 4
telegram to the effect that her
father was not expected to live, and
he desired her presence Immediate
ly. Of course every one was very
sorry for her, but they were in their
hearts glad that something called
her away,
When summer had heightened
into autumn, and the leaves were
gold and brown, there was a double
wedding in the pleasant little
church. Horace and Albert were
the grooms,and Berthe and May The
brides. BERTHE never knew, until
hor wedding day, that she was CO.
ing to marry n rich man.
In after years, when Horace and
Bertie had grown gray in lovo and
harmony, they received letter
from Eta, asking for charity. Her
father, on his doath-bcd, had OK
acted n promise that sho would
marry a friend Of his who was very
wealthy, which ;sho did; and he,
specializing largely both with her
wealth and his own, had lost all,
and then died leaving her ponniless
and friendlcss. Horace brought
her to:thcir homo, and both he and
BERTHE treated her as q sister until
the end or her. days, which indeed
were not many.

"Albcrt is his own master yot

Mr.. Lester here approached, ant
desired the pleasure OF that walt
with Miss Mayfair; and BERTHE:
partner coming at that moment
they were both whirled away.
As Horace and Eta noated
through the room, people were
heard to remark what u very hand
some couple they were.
"By the way, wish you would
warn that cousin of yours against
Eta, said Albert, as he and May
were strolling through the conser-
vatory after the waltz.
Gle does not need any warning
as he understands her perfectly"
The next morning as Bertic, and
Eta were slipping their chocolate
at o very late breakfast BERTHE in
quired-
swell, Eta, what is your opinion
of Mr.. Lester7"
"Oh, ho will do," replied she.
"If he were only rich, I think l
would do my utmost to win
his love; but as it is, he will
make very pleasant companion

have to say for such 4 man2 You
had better think twice before you
try to ilirt with him."
"Indeed, my mind is quito made
up, and I intend to make him pro-
pose before Ireturn home."
Time rolled on. Dame Rumor
had it that Horace Lester and Eta
Mayfair were, surely engaged; but
Horace also paid attention to Ber-
tic, and continued to divide his
time equally between the two.
While with Eta he was very gay,
and sometimes little sentimental !;
and she used to wonder why he
did not:proposc. Instead of the
Irritation she at first intended, she
had given him the warmcst love Of
which her shallow nature was cap
able. With Bertie ho was always
