"I wonder" said Stella, "whether
you know how feel those kinds words
Ct yours, whom you spoke of my mother.
Shall I tell youa"
She put her arm round his neck and
kissed him. He was man new tolove,
in the nobler sense Of the word. The
exquisite softness in the touch Of her
lips, the delicious fragrance Of her
breath, intoxicated him. Again and
again he returned the kiss. She drew
back; she recovered her self-possession
with suddenness and certainty incom-
prehensible,to to man. From the depths
of tenderness she passed TO the shadows
Of frivolity. In her own defense she
was almost a. superficial as her mother,
in less than moment. l ,l1i,iea
"What would Mr.. Penrose say IL he
saw your" she whispered.
"Why do you speak Of Penrose?
Have you seen him to-nigbty' t
Yes-looking sadly out Of his ele-
ment, poor man. 1 did my best to set
him at his esse-because know you
like him." ,fs.e .a...l
"Dear Stellar
"No, not again I am speaking
seriously, now. Mr.. Penrose looked at
me with a strange kind Of Interest,"
can't describe it. Have you taken him
into our confidence ?" ...r
"He is so devoted-he has such O
true interest in me-" said Romayne-"I
really felt ashamed to treat him like a
stranger. On'our journey to London !
did own that it was your harming let
ter which had decided me on returning.
I did say, I must tell her myself how
we'll she has understood me, and how
deeply I feel her kindness. Penrose
took my hand in his gentle, considerate
way. Il understand you, too he said,
and that was all that passed between
u.s."
"Nothing more since that time p
Nothing" ll r.

Dogs That Are Fashionable.
"The fashion in dogs" said Mr.. Dan
Foster, the fancier, 90 changes from yeai
to year, the same as in women's dresses
l should name as the most fashionable
dogs at this time the rough-coated st
Bernard and the English pug. The st
Bernard dogs are rare, but there is {
demand for them reaching as far a'
Colombo. The pups are worth from S5t
to $1,000 The English pug is dog
that went and came. He has undergone
vicissitudes, he has. Near a hundred
years ago there wasn't fashionabl,
lady's coach in England that didn'
have his singnlarly ugly muzzle poking
ont of it. He had been brought over b,
sailor from Japan. The first strait
imported was very black, and went tc
Lord Willoughby; the second, lighter
was brought over by the same sailor
and went to Mr.. Morrison. BY these
names the two strains of dogs are still
known. Ten years ago they were al
most unknown here; now, fat and sleek
they may be seen by the score walking
with ladies in Broadway and lookml
out Of curtained windows in Fifth avenue
They cost from S25 to 5000 each. Colo
mel Sellers bought one, male, at ths
bench show some years ago and mad'
the mistake of calling it Clytemnesta
The pug has no voice. He is worthy oI
account of his ugliness and affection.
Then, for a scarce and fashionable
dog, 1 should name next the kins
Charles spaniel. He first came to Eng
land as present to Charles III. from
King Charles of Spain. I pretend t.
have a supply of dogs, but own only
single pair OF these, which 1 keep TO
breeding purposes. The male weigh
yepounds and the female seven pounds
The animal is black and tan in color
and is worth from 500 to 5000.
Then comes the small black and tan
common lady's pet, with bark so bi.
that il shakes him all over; he is wort
from S25 to Sl25, according to his siz
and marking. The small bull an
terrier is pet of fashionable men. IL
is pure white, and is worth from $50 t.
$3.50. And the Japanese pug is remark
ably fashionable dog. He rides in car
riages that have coats of arms on thei
panels. He is rough coated, and is blac
and white or yellow and white, and h
costs $3.50 and 500. ..f.l
"Did you ever" continued the fanciel
"see a Scotch colly? He is as soft an
beautiful as dream. He's got eye
like maiden in love. He is very rar
in America. Mr.. Joe jefferson, tn
actor, had one, and presume has hii
now, that was beauty. A colly woul
cost FROM $50 to $500.
"Then shall name, 10 close the lisi
the Italian greyhound, which 1,l,nse% is wort ab
fancier, 81 must say q word about m
two noble dogs, Wallace, an Englis
mastif, and Monk, my st. Bernard, VIII
Is dead. Wallace is a big fellow, who
as well trained as most servants, an
more faithful. He can fetch and carr
as well as anybody. He would do for
bank messenger. He will go shopping
with Q lady, and is trained to keep stran
gers and tramps at bay. Mfr. Samuel J
Tilden is negotiating for his purchase
added the fancier, with pride, sand
am pretty sure he will get him. II h
does it will cost Mr.. Tilden $500.
'Monk," continued the fancier relaps
ing into profound melancholy, "died il
December last. brought him owe
with me the August previous from tn,
monastery of st. Gothard. He was tn
finest dog that ever stepped, and as t,
