''Stupendous Y" said our hero,
gradually beginning to c%oprehend :
that he was mistaken for some one
else.
What will Kate say when she
sees you here 2" calculated another
maid, merrily.
"Ah = What indeed 2" said Mr..
Barkdale, wondering in what words
he could best explain matters.
"Of course we shall all look the
other way while you are kissing and
hugging her," said Miss Barbara,
demurely."
VERY considerable of you, I'm
sure,' observed Mr.. Barkdale.
"She's the sweetest girl in New
York." exclaimed the tall damsel
enthusiastically. We work u sew
ing machines side by side. Hasn't
she Eve written to you about Alice
Moore 7"
81 don't just at this moment recall
that she has"
"Oh. well, it dosn't matter, said
Alice. "Just you sit down and be
a good boy, while we fix the tables.
Aren't those roses beautiful ? My
goodness gracious, how astonisbed
Kate will be!o
"She can't be more SO than | am"
said Mr.. Barkdale, sinking into the
Sleepy Hollow chair, aud passing his
handkerchief vaguely across his fore
head. "WeE, it's a mere matter OF
fate; | can't see how / am to explain
myself and yet, perhaps, l ought to
explain. Ladies'
"Hush-sh.sh ,''cried the six pretty
girls, all in a Kissing chorus. Kate
is coming. Bessie has brought her.
Hush-sh-sh ! Don't say a word M.
Greenfield The hand of the gold
en-haired girl was clapped promptly
over his mouth. Alice Moore grasp
ed his arm spasmodically, and the
other four danced a sort of bewitch-
ing little feminine war dance about
him, while a seventh girl entereG-a
pretty Madonna faced little creature
like a dove.
Come and kiss him Kate cried
all the others. "Now, don't be Cjdic-
ulous, for we shan't take any net;ce.
Here he is |"
kiss who 2" cried Kate, stand
ing stih and staring around her.
"Girls, what on earth do you mean"
"You provoking thing /" said
Barbara, stamping her little foot.
do you suppose we are all fools /?
Why, of course you know all about
him I! It's Mr.. Greenfield your
cousin. Kate-the young M. d."
Kate looked around in bewildeg-
ment.
"Where ?"
"Why here |"
"Nothing of the sort :" said Miss
Kate, deRlurely.
Our hero stood up, feeling himself
growing uncomfortably warm and
red.
Ladies' said he, there's some
mistake here. | said at the outset
that my name was not Greenfield"
"There Z" cried the girls all at
once.
"There !" echoed Kate deiantly.
"Didn't we tell you SO ?" cried
the girls.
Didn't ] tell you so 2" retorted
Kate. "Please be kind enough to
let us know what your name is sir. Z"
"Cephas Barkdale," said the vic
tim OF "A misunderstanding.
"But," you said it was Mott
Greenfield
"Of course 1 did !" said the puz-
zled bachelor. ait isn't Greenfield,
and it never with be unless | have
it changed by act of legislature"
"Oh.h I" cried the girls. Dear,
dear, to be surel And we thought
you were Hates lover, and his name
is No double Mott Greenfield"
"Do hold your tongues, you ridic-
ulous things,n said Kate, half vexed
and half laughing. "What must

said CALAMITY.

step across the street and send Mr..
Mott Greenfield over"
Mr.. BarkdRle was not allowed to
depart until he had promised to re-
turn.
Mr.. Mott Greenfield. a good look
ing medical student, who had the
sky parfor' directly opposite, came
promptly on mention of the name of
Kate Kellford, and did the polite
thing in introducing Mr.. Barkdale;
and MIR. Barkdale ate of the sand
witches, and enjoyed the cake and
cream and coaxed Miss Barbara to
pin a little pink rose bud in the but
tonhole of his coat and enjoyed him
self prodigiously.
I'D like to be surprised like this
every night in the year" said he.
"Oh, you greedy creature y said
Miss Barbara.
"But there was one time | serious
ly meditated throwing myself out of
the window" said he, when you
told me | was to kiss Kate"
dear, dear" said Barbara, ironi-
cally, ''that would have been dread
full, wouldn't it ~
"But the awkwardness OF the
thing
Il dare say you never kissed a
pretty girl !" pouted the blonde.
~ never did," said the bachelor,
growing bold; "but l will now, if
you say So"
"But l don't say so," said Barba-
ra, coloring and laughing. BE
have yourself, sir !"
Mr.. Barkdale went home with the
fair Barbara, and they grew to be
very great friends, and-where's the
use trying to conceal how it all end
ed =? They were married at the
years end, with all the surprisers as
bridesmaids, Kate Kellford included.
Mr.. Mott Greenfield proposes to fol-
low the example as soon as he gets
well.

Cincinnati Gazette.l
Mr. Joseph Coppin, an old pioneer of this
Ihlty, who has resided in this city for
Ember Of years, has placed for safe keeping

Australia's Vast Size.

1t is not easy to grasp the enormous bulk
of the Australian continent-the practically
unlimited space within which the colonies
have room TO grow. The colony of Victoria
the smallest and at the same time the most
populous and highly developed of tho con-
tinent group, is about as large as Great
Britain New South Wales has an area five
times that of England, but is not half SO
big as Queensland, and not third the size
of South Australia. Western Australia is
even larger and more empty of population ;
after measuring acres with South Australia,
1t would almost have sufficient land to fur
nish out New Zealand and Tasmania, and
yet New Zealand compares in area with the
