but, God help me, my love was stronger

Does May love you?"
II never asked her, uncle"

Tom folded his arms upon tne table
and laid MS head upon them.

Nh, Trevanion went straight to Mays
room and knocked softly.
May. want to speak to you just one
moment, my child"
She came to the door, surprised at
this unusual proceeding, but too wretch
ed TO care much.
May, would you just as soon marry
Tom as your guardian?n
1t was a startling question. May
would have fallen had not Mr.. Ire.
vanlon caught her in his arms.
you see, May, the foolish fellow has
fallen in love with you, and as he is too
honorable to try to steal you away from
me- he is determined to be off to France
again Tom is my only sisters child,
and if you could love him, May"
The old saucy look came back to
Mays eyes.
Il will try, sir.n
Then come with me-"
He led her along the hall, and enter
ing the study, said;
Here, Tom. I'll forego my claim if
you can make it all right with May. L
could not see you 60, nay boy.
He closed the door, and with a rare
delcacy left the lovers alone.
Over that interview we will draw a
veil.
BY mutual consent the knowledge Of
their mutual love was kept from Uncle
lialbert, and he thinks to this day that
May married Tom to please him.
May and Tom have been married FIVE
happy years. May is little like the May
of this story save in form and feature.
She is gentle and quiet, and has given
over all her mad moods, subdued by the
power of love, and Tom likes her best
so, Sometimes, when in the fulness Of
her young life, she would flash out into
some of the old gay moods, Tom would
put his arm tenderly around her and
say:
Don't, May, my darling. love you
best III your new mood. The sauCv, de-

| in her stead hold to my heart my low

The rage for physical development
among young women is increasing.
Glasses are forming in gvmnasiums
where young ladies aud girls arc taught,
and also small clubs which receive in
struction in private houses, One Of
the latest phases of this mania is an in
satable desire 90 the part of many
young ladies to learn fencing. 1t has
become fashionable accomplishment
in Europe, which is quite enough to
make girls here ambitious to acquire it.
Last year there were only few classes,
and they were small This year there
will be scores of young women poking
swords at each other One of the best
known gymnasiums in the city is
within stones throw of the Windsor
Hotel.
The young ladies who go there for
instruction and practice have little re-
firing rooms, similar to bath houses.
When they emerge they have cos
tune consisting of basque or jacket and
trousers, The agility, grace and skill
they show at the various exercises is
astonishing. They are quicker to learn
than boys, am told, and much more
graceful at everything they undertake.
AT first they are made to make certain
movements with their fingers, hands
and arms. Then they are taught 10
swing dumb bells and clubs, keeping
time to music AS the average young
lady does not straighten out her arms
properly when in the first stages of her
training, the wooden dumb bells have
little brass bells on them that Jingle
when the movements are made with
proper forte,
One of the exercises they are put
through is that of marching, with
sticks for guns. They like this very
much, and carry their heads with
iaunty air, What young chap is there
that would not pay good fee at the
door to see them going through evolu-
tionsP But the Professor vigorously
excludes spectators. The advanced
classes are required to practice on tie
horizontal bar. Beginners at this ex-
ercise have great difficulty in swinging
their feet over, but some of the perse.
vering ones go through great variety
Of movements with the grace of an
acrobat. Swinging in rings suspended
on long ropes is favorite exercise.
In one corner Of the room there are
several poles in an upright position,
and others inclining at an angle. 1t is
almost incredible, but nevertheless
fact, that young women will spend
hours climbing those poles. The most
popular exercise is that of mounting
and vaulting over wooden horse.
They make rush at this and spring
into wooden saddle, and after much
practice they go over almost without
touching The private classes usually
meet in garret so many times week
for lessons malpractice, When young
Lady who has the physical develop
ment craze is detained at home by Il
rainy day, she goes up to the garnet and
develops her muscle. -NeW York letter
