II was in summer that Gwendolen Mahaffy
spoke those works to Ethelbert Quirkson as
they sauntered back from the oroquet
ground to the house. Gwendolen had hit
her corn instead of a croquet ball, and as
The blow fell there came to her such feel
ing of desolate loneliness, such wistful
yearning to howl and swear, that she had
looked into Ethelberts eyes with her own
dark orbs and said, in the low, musical voice
whose very tone thrilled Ethelbert with a
sweet, rapturous, three-for-ffty cents thrill,
that she really must go and help her dear
mamma get supper-she loved so dearly to
help in all household matters that mamma
had often said that whoever got her for
wife would never need to hire girl--and
merry laugh was thrilled forth from between
the wine-red lips that Ethelbert had 80 often
made up his mind to kiss and then awaken
ed when the time came. He bent tenderly
and lovingly over her now, listening to
every word she said and believing 1t all.
Nothing could have shaken his faith In tho
girlish innocence of Gwendolen, and he loved
her with passionate alteration that knew
no bounds. To him she was perfection
whatever she did was right and whatever
said was gospel. 1t is even betting that her
front hair was bang. Reared among the
solitudes of st. Louis and having only nature
for companion and teacher, bis childlike
faith was not to be wondered at
Yes, Gwennie, DEAR" he said, 81 am
very fond of pie" ..ef...
"And do you love me as much to-day as
you did last Tuesday 2~ she asked, changing
the subject in her impulsive, north side
way.
Better, fur better, my darling" Ethel
bert replied, in tones that were tremulous
with tenderness. My love for you shall
never falter, never fade, but always be great
er, stronger and more beautiful than before.
Into that love have woven the best efforts
of my life, and she to whom it lie devoted
shall ever be the shrine at which my soul
shall worship" Unfortunately there was no
one with club in the Immediate vicinity.
81 can make pies, said Gwendolen, smiL
ing archly as she spoke
Scan you, darling ?" This in low, earnest
tones.
"Why, of course" responded the girl.
Then" said Ethelbert, calmly but firm

TALL MEN.

The New York doctors having had the
question put TO them whether man can add
cubit to his stature, agree that there are ways
by which stature can be affected. People
who drink limestone water like the Kentuck-
ians and Tennesseeans, who are famous for
being tall, owe it perhaps to the fact that
they absorb so much lime which goes to the
making of their bones. So oatmeal builds
up the bone and muscle Of the Scotch, and
makes them tall. DR.. Mott said "Folks
who feedupon good, healthy and simple food
have the best chance for growing to be tall
Tallness seems sometimes to be o family
trait, and runs along through generation af-
ter generation; but, on the other hanG, all
children very often grow from short parents
and vice versa. There doesn't seem to be
any positive rule about IT, and I don't know
that there is any mode of determining from
tho height of child at any given age what
it will grow to at maturity" There is a be-
lief, however we'll or III founded, that the
height of the child at the age Of two years is
Just half the height to which il viii attain at
maturity. Detroit Press.

SUNDAY WITH LONDON moRmoNs.

In dirty, dismal, Unconditional street in
Pentonville there is tall, old house which
makes public announcement of itself as n
dancing academy and which has painted
up over one of its interior doors, "Latter
Day Saints Meeting Room" Here, every
Sunday, and one night during the week as
sembles the Mormon population of London
AS may be guessed, the Saints are not a
numerous body. On Sunday night, when
they were apparently in full force, the
congregation numbered about 100, among
whom females greatly preponderated, about
one-third being girls whose ages ranged
from ten years to eighteen. There were,
perhaps, about two dozen men present. Six
of these, being elders or office-bearers, were
seated around table, which does duty fora
pulpit, at the head of the room. The
"Saints," both male aud female, seemed to
belong to the lower working Glass; and to be
such persons as would be likely to find a
strong argument for the Mormon religion in
the fact that it has an earthly Zion. There
was little show of reverential feeling before
the commencement Of the service. Those
who were present laughed and talked with
as much ease and freedom as If they wero
out of doors. There is, however, very little
about Mormon religious service that en-
courages solemnity of feeling or conveys the
idea OF worship.
