evening. Az the brother of Mrs. Mont
gomery, as reputed millionaire, as one
who had been twelve years in China,
Mr.. Harold Russell was forced to submit
TO being hoaized.
| He was much altered, Efie thought,
Contrasting the dignifed bearing and
grave face with the sunny-faeed, impul-
sive young man who had been her lover
in past years.
Yet, as the hours few by she caught
herself recognizing certain expressions;
and once her heart beat tumultously, as
familiar laugh rang out upon the air.
1t was by her own movements that she
prevented the recognition she dreaded,
while she longed to have itOver.
More than once she had screened her
self from a tall figure approaching the
place where she stood, and more than
once the violet silk had fitted into
another room Just as Harold Russell
thought he could touch it.
There had been much dancing when
a small party collected round the grand
piano, begging Miss Selwyn to sing.
1t was wen-known that she had a
splendid voice carefully educated.
Verv reluctantly the lady drew of her
white gloves, and seated herself before
the piano. >.
The little hands struck two rich, full
chords.
Then, in clear, sweet voice, she sang.
The second verse was sung. when close
beside the singer deep base voice
Joined in the chorus
Quick crimson fushes passed over
Efie's cheeks, but she sang steadily at
every chorus, the voice she knew 20 we'll
joining her own.
Nobody else noticed it, but at each
verse those voices, 90 long estranged,
grew stronger, clearer, more iubilant.
Harold Russell, affecting to turn over
some music, said, in low voice:
"Can we indeed be as in 'Auld Lang
Syne, Efie? Can you forgive me?'
For answer, she slowly turned the ring
upon her finger, until he recognized the
device he had chosen for her twelve years
ago.
Mamma" May Marshall whispered,
edo you see Aunt Effie dancing with Mr..
Russell? / do not see one young couple
SO handsome and MISUNDERSTANDING
as they are"
A sudden memory flashed over Mrs.
Marshall.
"The last time Ef6e wore that violet
silk" he thought, "she danced with
Harold Russell, and the next thing
we heard of him he was on his way to
China. I remember now, Effie soon
after began to withdraw from society. I
wonder"
" Here her meditations were interrupted
by the people in question.
"Mrs. Marshall" the gentleman said,
have you no welcome for me? / ask for
one as man and BROTHER"
"You shall have it, though Efie has
told me nothing in your absence"
"Thefe was nothing to tell. We have
only tonight renewed the-the-"
"The vows" said the gentleman, gayly,
'of Aud Lang Syne."

Apache Wives and Mothers.in.laW.
fSAn Francisco Post


| When 4 brave conludes to marry,
either first or any subsequent wife, the
manner of his courtship il the same. He
makes no effort TO become agreeable 10
his intended bride-indeed, rarely If ever
notices her, or speaks to her, except in
answer to questions she may put to him.
he pays more attention, however, to her
male relations, particularly her brothers,
it she has any. Finally, if he becomes
satisfied that a declaration will not be
rejected, then the whole affair is accom-
plished in few hours, and generally in
this fashion: At night he takes the
presents intended for the girl's parents,
who alone are entitled to receive any,
and place them near the lodgs. in which
she resides If the presents are horses
they have their trappings also, and are
tied with macate near the lodge; if a
COW is to be given, a single straw, or a
cows horn, which signifies the intention,
is tied to the lodge. If the presents are
accepted, which almost always happens,
the girl goes in the morning and builds
new lodge or hut for herself and hus-
band, and puts the straw in it for their
bed. If the man is rich there is some
ceremony about the marriage; if poor,
very little or none.
Before finishing this story ] will speak
OF strange custom among these In
dians, for which they can give no rea-
son. 1t is considered great indecency
for man to look at his mother-in-law's
face, and still more 20 to speak to her. If
by chance they happen to come close TO-
gether, one runs in one direction and the
other in the opposite one, until they are
several yards apart. Sometimes if they
happen to be near Of an age, pretence Of
intending to approach each other is in
dulged in as a joke.
For instance, the son-in-law is in |
hut, and the mother approaches near
enough to be heard. and calls to him
that she is approaching. He replies
"Do you not know I am herew She an
swers: eyes, but l am coming all the
same" He then dares her to come, but
invariably when he perceives she is get
ting nearer than good breeding allows he
takes to his heels, to the great diversion
of the lookers-on. l never heard any
reason given for this custom, but is uni
versal, and never broken over except in
very extreme cases.

Henry Clay's Wager.
New Orleans Democrat

In 1914, when the Peace Commission,
composed Of Henry Clay, John Quincy
Adams, James A. Bayard and Albert
Gallatin, on the part of the United States,
and Lord Gambler. and Mr.. Goulbourn
on the part Of Great Britain, were en-
deavoring to come to an understanding
on the important questions of the navi.
cation Of the Mississippi River and the
fishery privileges, the British plenipo.
tentiaries sought to alarm the Americans
by informing them Of the invincible
army which was moving on New Orleans,
supported by powerful fleet. They
dwelt on the gallantry and daring Of
Packenham, laid much stress upon the
superb character of his troops, which
they truthfully declared were the flower
Of the British army, veterans of the
victorious Peninsular campaign, and
Lord Gambler gleefully remarked, "New
Orleans will soon be in our possession,
and the free navigation Of the Mississippi
assured to u.s."
This greatly nettled Mr.. Clay, who
had determined never to cc,,,;;, the
point as to the great river, which, with
prophetic eye, he saw must one day be-
come the grandest commercial highway
on the globe, and 30, with the instinct Of
the true Kentuckian, he at once offered
to wager Lord Gambler that the British
army would never capture New Orleans,
and that Packenham would be disas-
trously defeated. "For," said he, 81 am
informed that General Andrew Jackson,
from Tennessee, has gone to New Or
leans, and l have the most implicit
faith in his ability to cope with your
army" Lord Gambler joyfully accepted
tAe wager, which he fixed at a hundred
guineas When the news Of the rout Of
the British army at Chalmette and Of the
death of Packenham was received in Eu-
rope, Lord Gambler approached Mr..
Clay at grand ball-given, we believe,
in honor Of the success of the negotiations
at Ghent-and handing him the hun
dred guineas, said: "Mr. Clay, believe
there are three kinds of beings under the
special care and protection Of Divine
Providence-lunatics, drunkards and the
American people,"

some other William the Fourth whose
descendants are entitled to the millions;
and If 30, there is no harm In wishing
that their fondest pecuniary dreams
may be realized. This goodsnatured
wish, however, is not likely to do much

Wordsworth.

[c. p Cranch in February Atlantc.]
Making all allowance for his defects
and shortcomings, there can be no ques-
tion that we must accept the almost
unanimous vote of our time, that he was
great and an original poet. This great
ness and originally are chiefly noticeable
in the wise and deeply reflective charac-
ter of his poems, in their high moral and
religious tone, in his faith in the minis
try of nature to the soul, and in his ex-
preston of the religion of humanity.
Nature and man form the substance
Of the themes he seeks to illustrate.
Other poets, before him, have touched
these chords, and their immortal music
he listens to and loves. But from them
he hears it come in fitful strains, often in
a careless or expressionless rendering.
Like great musician he would use all
the stops of his organ. In his inspired
moments he uttered lines of wisdom and
beauty memorable for all time,-second
only to Shakespeare and Milton.
But Wordsworth has his prosaic side;
and the truth must be spoken in making
up a fair estimate of him. Perhaps
there never lived more unequal poet.
With all his genius, the judgment Of
the posterity to which he appealed has
by this time pretty clearly settled it as
fact that as poet he is truly great
only at wide intervals. His verses have
good health and strong limbs, but they
Too often lack wings. His muse ranges
from the highest flights of thought and
emotions down to common and prosaic
themes, treated in dry and didactic
way; and he often disappoints us in his
treatment of even his noblest subjects.
We are not lifted, not fascinated, as we
hoped. Why he should not have felt
this deficiency in his cooler self-criticism,
and shown at least a more decided pref
erence of his best to his worst, might
seem strange, but Chat such instances of
lack Of true judgment of their own
works have been no uncommon cases,
even with men of genius. Perhaps it is
their very genius that bids them.
