The days pass by, and slowly the con.
viction dawns upon him that he is fall

again. Yet, is it over again? Is it not
the old love that he believed dead rising
like phoenix from the ashes? He can
not tell; he only knows that she has
grown very dear to him, dearer than
the maiden Grace Ellsworth had been.
AT last he determines to know his
fate, and, without revealing his identity,
he asks her to be his bride, Grace's

"And if this Kenneth Carle should

you do so :" her companion asks.
"No, no." replies Grace, sadly; "that
is impossible"
"It is not impossible" Kenneth says,
passicnately. "Don't you know me,

Grace looks up into his face with a
dazed expression. The resemblance has

The Baroness COuttS as an Entertainer


The Baroness Burdett- Coutts has got
quite over her virgin bushes, and, hay
ing at the ripe age of sixty summers
tasted the sweetness of loves young
dream, she and her juvenile husband
have embarked on long course of par
ties. She gives a fashionable dinner
every other day, and people of title are
as numerous on her visiting list as cent
pieces on a collection plate when an ap-
peal is made for the distressed heather.
One thing, however, is remarkable about
these dinners. No young women go to
them. Boyish Mr.. Burdett- Coutts is
not nearly thirty yet, SO the Baroness
wisely keeps temptation out of his way.
For all his sickness the poor fellow be-
gins to wear jaded, tired, worn and
weary look, which seems to hint of the
possibility of his golden world palling
upon him. Whatever he thought before
he mated with fortune, part of bank
and half a county of acres, there can be
no doubt that to-day Mr.. Burdett- Coutts
Bartlett is convinced of the kindness,
as well as the wisdom, of the barriers in
the tables Of consanguinity, that a man
shall not be allowed to marry his grand
mother A few days ago the Baroness
went to court, husband and all, but the
Queen snubbed her terrifcally, and the
venerable lady went home again in very
bad temper. In her agitation she lost
valuable sapphire brooch, which slipped
off her dress, and was brushed by the
trains of some ladies under piece of
piping in one of the passages of Buck
lngham Palace. This musty but mod
ern palatial pilo is, however, busted
once a week, and so it CHANGED that one
Jemima Ann of the royal kitchen swept
the valuables out of their hiding place
exactly five days after they had been
lost. Still the Baroness has not quite
recovered from the cold shouldering she
received at the hands of the CROWN
London Globe.

Flower of the IIassia Tree.

The flower OF the bassia tree, which
grows in India, has curious properties.
1t presents no remarkable features at
the time Of its opening, but after few
days, when the qualification has been
accomplished, the petals begin to swell
and become heshy. After a while the
carolla falls to the ground, charged with
saccharine matter, leaving the pistil on
the tree to grow into on excellent fruit.
The corocla itself has also acquired the
properties Of an edible fruit, and is at
tractive to insects, beasts and men.
Numbers of people come from consider
able distances to gather the fallen
flowers They dry them and eat them,
either in the natural state or cooked,
and make Of them a regular article Of
merchandise. Aliquor is distilled from
them which has q dreadful odor, and
produces worse effects than other alco-
holic drinks.

A Tortoise with a Supply of Water.

At meeting of the California Academy
of Sciences, very fine specimen Of the
desert land tortoise, from Caion Pass,
San Bornardino county, in that State,
was received. The specimen had been
carefully prepared, and was as large as
an ordinary bucket. The tortoise is q
native of the arid regions of California
and Arizona, and Professor u, I. Cox
who was present, related a curious cir
cumstance connected withit. He found,
on dissecting one of them, that it carried
on each side O membrane, attached to
the inner portion Of the shell, in which
was about a pint Of clear water, the
whole amount being about quart, He
was of the opinion that this water was
derived from thesecretions Of the giant
barrel cactus, on which the tortoise
feeds. This cactus contains great deal
of water. The tortoise is found in Sec
tions OF the country where there is no
water, and where there is no vegetation
but the cactus. A traveller suffering
from thirst could, inan emergency, sup
ply himself with water by killing n
tortoise.

A Bows Goodness and COurage.

An instance of GOODNESS and courage
in boy is reported in letter from
Wakkerstroom, in South Africa. The
garrison made a raid for the purpose Of
capturing some cattle, but was COM
PEELED to retreat into camp. While fall"
ing back a youngster about fifteen years
old was thrown from his horse, which
ran off and left him. Finding he could
not escape from the Beers, who were in
close pursuit, he lay down behind some
stones on the slope Of the hill. A few
minutes afterward, four of the enemy
came galloping up, when the boy let fly,
knocking one out of his saddle. The
three men who we're with him, thinking
in all probability, they were running
into an ambuscade, wheeled and bolted
for their lives. The boy than crept on
his hands and feet to the top Of the hill,
took to his heels and escaped.
