1t was late sunset when reached the
inn. The last rosy light was flushing
the distant mountain peaks with that
marvellous beauty which is one of the
wondrous charms of Swiss scenery. l
made my way without pause to Mabel's
parlor, led there by a force that seemed
to draw me by a power beyond my con-
troll. The room was quite dusk and
she was alone. AS entered she came
toward me with quantity of letters
and papers in her hands.
'.These came while you were away"
she said.
Mechanically I took the papers.
Among them there was a large package
on which 1 dimly discerned the word
''Due," followed by an illegible stamp.
''You have paid something on this,
I said; show much was it?" and looked
up
Postage not stated" replied Mabel.
Promptly, smilingly, she uttered the
words. Then her dark eyes softened
and faltered. The papers and letters
were scattered over the floor. 1 had
caught her in my arms with all the au-
dacity that had been once before mine
in my boyish days.
Only now, as I pressed passionate
kisses on her brow and lips, l found
voice at last to utter the yearning that
was consuming my heart. -Dio Lea0is'

POSTAGE NOT STATED.


was tall, overgrown, awkward and
sixteen, with a pervading consciousness
that my hands and feet were very large,
and the added misery, in the case of the
former members, that they were always
red, and I never knew what to do with
them when in company. was max
ing a visiting at grandmother's delight
full, old-fashioned country home, when
one morning the dear old lady called
me to her.
"Here is something for you, JIM
she said, ''an invitation to a .children's
party at Mrs. Edwards
'Children's party" repeated, prob
ably, with shade of scorn in my voice,
as Indicating that I was no longer
to be placed in that juvenile category.
Not children exactly corrected

dignity. * oung people, / should have

had sundry misgivings that I should
not enjoy the party at all, being as yet
very much afraid Of girls, though be-
ginning to admire them as mysterious
and fascinating beings. However, /
accepted the invitation, as found that
all the boys I knew were going, and
the party was to be quite ssswell' af-
fair for the village.
When the evening came it found me
with the rest. seated in a large parlor,
very unhappy because of my arms and
hands, which would by no means ar
range themselves in any graceful or
becoming manner, and extremely bash
full, but full Of admiration for a lovely
black-eyed girl about a year younger
than myself, whom knew to be Tom
Bvrne's sister.
She sat some distance from me, but
she had given me a sweet smile when I
first came in, and now from time to
time cast chances st me which in
creased at once my bliss and my con-
fusion.
Various games were suggested and
played, but they were Of quiet char
acter. such as Twenty Questions,
9 Proverbs, ETC., SO that had no OPP
portunity OF approaching any nearer to
Mabel, who showed herself very brill
iant in her questions and answers dur
ing the progress of these intellectual
;amusements.
Then somebody suggested that we
should play post-offfce.
Post-office! what is thatp how do
you play it2'' whispered to Tom
Byrne my next neighbor.
Don't you know how to play post
Officer he asked, with a scorn of my
Ignorance. ..Oh, we'll I suppose you
city fellows don't know anything. "
II never heard Of this" assented,
meekly.

asks for letter for some boy, and then
YOU have to ask her how much postage.

THE DANIsH BOY's WHISTLE. -
"oh, whistle an I'll come to you"

''Oh, whistle an Eli come to YOU"
Nearly every engineer on the New York
.or wife in New Britain Conn. Every train
would whistle salute to some fair dame, and
the din grew SO fearfully ear-splitting that
the authorities have had it stopped.-Daity
..Paper.l
ITS noon when Thirty five" is due,
An she comes on time, like a hash'o light,
An you hear her whistle, ''TOe-tee-too!
Long fore the pilot swings in sight
Bill Maddon's drivin' her in to-day
An he's calm his sweetheart far away
Gertrude Hurd-ives down by the mill
You might see her blushin; she knows it's Bill.
''Tu-die! Ioot-ee! Tu-die! Tu!'
sSix-five a. M. there's local comes
Makes up at Bristol, runnin' east;
An the way her whistle sings an HUNS
Is Twin caution to man an beast.
Every one knows who Jack White calls
Little Lou Woodbury., down by the Falls;
summer or winter, always the same,
She hears her lover calm her name
Louie! Louie! LOu-iee!
nGo thunderin' west, and Of all the screams
That ever startled the rising sun,
Jehu Davis sends into your dreams;
But don't mind it; it makes me grim
For just down here where the creek lets in,
His wife, Jerusha can hear him call,
Loud as a throat or brass can paw
ssJeee-rooO Shee! Je-noO!''
But at one-fifty one old "Sixty-four''-
Boston Express runs east clear through
browns her rattle and rumble and roar
With the softest whistle that ever blew;
An away on the furtherest edge of the town,
Sweet Sue Winthrop'S eyes of brown
Shine like the starlight, bright an clear,
When she hears the whistle of Abel Gear,
'You-ou-ou, Su-u-u-u-e!'
An long at midnight freight comes in,
Leaves Berlin sometime-l don't know
when
But it rumbles along with a fearful din,
Till it reaches the Y-Switch there and then
The clearest notes of the softest bell
That out of brazen goblet fell,
Wake Nellie Minton out of her Dreams
To her ike wedding bell 1t seems
Nell, Nell, Nell! Neil, Nell, Nell!''
An somewhere late in the afternoon,
Youl see sThirty-seven" go streakin' west;
Its local, from Hartford: same old tune
Tom Wilson rides on the right hand side,
sGivin her steam at every stride;
An he touches the whistle, low an clear,
For Lulu Gray; on the hill, to hear
Soft goes on all day an all night.
Till.the old folk have voted the thing bore;
Old maids and bachelors say it amt right
For folks to do courtin' with such roar.
But the engineers their kisses will blow
From whstle-valve, to the girls they know,
An the stokers the name of their sweethearts
with the Belle! Nell! Dell! Of the swaying
bell.

Firel Firel

Westminster, Md. was visited on
the night of the 9th instant by a large
fire, in which two men, two cows and
twenty-thrce horses were burned to
death, and property to the amount of
of about So, 600, on which there were
assurances to the amount of S34 900.
That the fire was so destructive is said
to be due to the fact that the water
supply was insufficient. Would it
not be well for our city authorities,
and citizens in general. to take warm
ing from the misfortunes of West
minister. It is true that our town has
been fortunately free from contiagra-
lions, but have we any assurance that
it will continue so? Are we not Just
as liable to be visited by the flames as
was Westminster And are we any
better prepared to contend with them
than they wercE Our council was
elected for the purpose of careing for
the public welfare, and / think its
charter says it shall be their duty to
provide for fire department, if it
don't say so it was so intended. We
have been provided with light, but
street humps would lie 4 mockery in
the midst of a So, 900 fire. Their
beauty and comfort would suddenly
disappear. and only serve to make
more visible the tear-staincd features
OF homeless women and children,
weeping over the embcrs of what was
once their happy homes. or moisten-
ing the clods of the valley as they fall
