He listened becruSc h liked to study char

find TO say when each fresh screw appeared
on the scene But his silence as to his own
opinion concerning the merits or dement's OF
each animal and the calm Contcmplative
way in which, smoking his cigarette the
while, he watched the horses pass and repass
drove Mr. Barker almost to distraction. That
worthy didn't know whether he had to deal
with a fiat or with wiser man than himself.
All business men are aware that this places
one at terrible disadvantage in "A negotia-
ton. 1t is annoying to find you have treated
clever man like fool; but douhly so to
find you have treated fool like clever
man That is one of the risks Of business.
Mr.. Barker was the more uncertain because
he tried Frank both ways. On each Of the
first fifteen horses he showed him he placed q
ridiculously high price-then resolving that
his customer was n knowing one, he veered
round and asked very low figure for the
next score of animals paraded Yet Franb

He even grew suspicious and glanced at
Franks legs, thinking 1t just possible that

town. who had come dressed like a swell, to
try and take in the redoubtable Barker him
self But Mr.. Carruthers' lower limbs were
as straight and well-formed as if he had never
in his lifetime crossed a horse. So Barker
was beaten, and breathed his equivalent TO
sigh as the last of his tive-and-thirty screws
was led back without having drawn word
of condemnation or commentator from his
visitor
"Well, you're hard one to please, sir"
he said grimly.

lstlessly-nipping the ash from his cigar

Frank stood ON the thick, soft carpet and
looked at Miss Clauson, who had no idea that
her solitary exile was ended.
She was seated on the music bench. Her
hands were on the keys Of the piano, but
making no music. she was gazing with
crave eyes far, far away-looking right
through the center Of the satin-wood Shera-
ton cabinet which, full of choice porcelain,
stood against the opposite wall. Her
THOUGHTS. sad or sweet, were in dreamland.
And Mr.. CmIutherS stood watching her.

Mr. Corruthcrs stood lCotching her.
He knew he was doing wrong-knew he
ought to make her aware Of his presence
but the picture was to him so divinely beau
.iful that lie could not help himself
The girl was perfectly dressed; if fault
could he found with her attire it was that it
Eas a triao too old for Eer age. Her arms
and neck cleaned white and fair from the
black satin of the dress which fitted as a
dress can only tit a form like hers. The rich
brown hair was cunningly and becomingly
coiled, and without jewel or even flower to
ietract from its own native glory. No Won
Ter that Carrrlthers was content to watch her
in admiring silence
And as he watched he saw, or fancied he
saw, tears rising to those gray eyes. This
was more than human nature could bear.
Mr.. Carruthers to this day assures himself
that he entered that drawing-room with no
intention Of p"ecipitating matters. We may
believe him, because, as it was probable that
in few minutes nine respectable middle-aged
gentlemen would troop in, the occasion was
not propitious one SO it is clear that he
acted On the impulse Of the moment.
He never knew how he dared to do it, but
before she looked round he was at her side,
his arm was round her-a music bench offers
dangerous facilities, it has no back-and he
was telling Ler with passionate eloquence that
he loved hcr-be loved her! There was none
of poor Mr. Mordle's hopelessness about this
ardent young Carruthers.
But how did Beatrice take it. With a low
cry as Of fear, perhaps aversion, size sprang
t. her feet and stood for a moment looking
at him with a face as pale as death. Then
without word she turned and went swiftly
towards the door. Frank, with face as pale
rs her own, followed and intercepted her. he
graSped her hand.
Beatrice, have you nothing to say to me!
Nothing"
She breathed quickly. She seemed to set
her teeth. She answered not word.
Beatrice have YOU nothing to tell me!
Cannot you tell me you love me! Answer
me-"
There was no trace of raillery or lightness
in Mr.. Gar1uthel's' manner. 1t was that Of
man playing for life or death stake.
"Answer ne. Say you love me, )" he repeated.
II cannot" said Beatrice, hoarsely. Let
me GO"
Without a word he dropped her hand. He
even held the door open and closed it when
she had passed. Then with stern look on
MS face he stood in the middle of the room,
gazing at the blank door and wondering if he
was dreaming-if he had really, since he en-
erred that room, played his great stake and
ost it.
Could Frank Carruthers have followed
Beatrice to her room he would have seen her
brow herself on her bed and burst into a
oaroxysm of grief. He would have seen the
;ombre Mrs Miller come to her, embrace her.
;oothe her, and entreat her. He would have
seen look of stern resolution settle on the
servants strongly-marked features, look
which contrasted strangely with the affec-
donate solicitude which she displayed towards
aer mistress in her trouble
But Carruthers could not see these things,
and had he seen them would have been no
wiser for the sight.

The Genial Side Of General Grant
as 1t Appeared In Europe.
London Times.

London Times.
The share taken by this country in
celebrating the obsequies OF General
Grant was the more calIedfor because
it was his first visit to us which
brought into prominence the more
genial side OF his character. He was
Just then released from the trammels
of office; and to the great majority of
his own countrymen a somewhat
IN the position Of the setting sun. No
one in the United States had anything
to hope from his patronage or any
thingto fear from his ~displeasure. 1t
can hardly be doubted that the change
in his position had been forced upon
his notice in ways that were not alto
gether pleasing; and it was ineligible
that he should seek change and diver
sion in foreign travel. In his own
words he expected, on reaching
Liverpool, to walk on shore with
his bag and his umbrella like any
other citizen" Instead of being thus
unoticed he was received with almost
royal honors. The tender which met
the steamer brought a deputation
from the local authorities, IN address
was presented to him and he was eS-
corted to his place of temporary So
l0urn. A special train was prepared
for his journey to London, and the
chairman and general manager of the
company were in charge OF it. The
stations at which the engine stopped
for water We're gay with bunting and
triumphal arches, and the municipal
authorities were in attendance on the
platforms with addresses. The gener-
al made no attempt to restrain, even
duringthe journey itself, the expression
OF the pleasure which he derived from
these manifestations ofrespect; and the
discovery chat they were but the fore
runners of a universal welcome soon
exerted q powerful influence in caus-
ing him to shake off his habitual cloak
Of silence and reserve andtogIve I'M
w0nted utterance to his thoughts and
feelings. 1t was a new experience to
him to enter u society in which he
could talk without restraint and in,
which he, at least, was outside the
circle OF intrigues and OF ammosities,
and had no motive TO exercise the al
ton which they are calculated to pro-
duce. To the English people he came
in all the luster ofhis military TO-
unvarnished. by associations derived
from his political career. The force
OF his character was thoroughly APP
preciated by the majority OF those
who came into contract with him, and
he left behind him many admirers and
some friends, The service in West
minister Abbey was but a fitting recog-
milton of his fame, and OF our own kin
ship to the great Nation which he pre-
served from diaster by his military
genius.

The Grant Trust Fund.

A correspondent OF the New York
World writes; "Mr. Joseph w. Drex-
Ell says that the s250,0oO fund col
lected by George Jones for the Grant
family is not lost, unless the Grant
family are willing so to consider IL.
The laws OF the state OF New York
provide that trust funds shall be In
vested IN sccrtain standard securities.
These securities are named III the stat
ute. Any investment outside OF this
range named in the law * at the risk
OF the trustees. II the fund can not
be collected back out OF the Wabash
property the Grant family can recov-
er the money by suit against Mr..
Jones, the Morgan estate and the
third trustee. There Is no doubt at
all Of their liability for the entire
amount. There is no point in the OBJ
lection to bring suit against one OF the
principals who was Instrumental in
raising the fund. However meritori-
Gus his act was, hecollected the money
OF other people for General Grant, and
the Investment OF that money Is one
for which he should be held strictly
liable"

Melancholy and HypOchondria,

The distinction depends in a great
degree on the different influences of
physical and moral suffering upon the
ervou system, The former, physi-
cal suffering, concentrates the atten-
ton and depraves the reasoning facul-
ty, but 1t also lowers moral courage;
consequently it never provokes its
victim to seek relief from self. murder;
on the contrary, it fortunately au-
guments his pusillanimity until he
trembles at the very thought ofdeath.
The latter-namely, moral suffering
also concentrates the attention, but
il rather tends 20 exalt courage, the
physical suffcrings of the melancholic
mailman are totally absorbed in his
moral Indebtedness; he seeks death,
and reflects only on the relief which it
will afford to the wretchedness oil his
mind. The hypochohdriac never. lis
tens to such arguments as those urged
by despair. With all his weight ofsuf-
fering, his eyes brightens with hope, he
still anticipates a remedy for his all
ments. Although low-spirited andd de-
jected, yet he does not despond. His
feelings are in u very different state
from thosslaboring under melancholy,
or any other form OF insanity.-St.
