well, I never saw the like. "

"Well, never saw the like"
Such was the exclamation I heard
while whizzing along in an express
train of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad the other day. Ihad
been deeply immersed in ovel and
had not noticed that the weather had
changed and that it was ra ining "Oh,
that's nothing; we see it every spring
and fall" The speaker was brakeman
and his remark was addressed to the
man who had never seen the like. The
latter had arisen from the seat In front
of mine to get drink of water and had
halted to gaze out of the opposite win
dow. The brakeman stood by his side
and continued: "That's nothing; this
is the dividing line between rain and
snow at this season."
CHANGING from my window on tho
south side of the car l saw the pane
notified with raindrops and board
fence running parallel to the track black
with wet. Then peeping out of win
dow on the north side understood the
strangers surprise. The ground on
that side of the track was gray with
snowfakes and they were still falling.
."The dividing line-how?" stammer-
ed the man addressed by the brakeman.
"Why, this is the point where the d.
viding line between rain storms and
snow storms crosses this road" said the
brakeman. "Of course 1 don't mean
that every storm here is snow to the
north of us and rain to the south of us,
but at just this season of the year a
storm is sure to be divided within
quarter of a mile of this spot, not far
from Allendale."
"How do you explain it?" I asked.
Explain it," said the brakeman. AZ
don't pretend to. I only know our
trainmen have noticed it for years every
spring and fall in this neighborhood if
q storm came up at the right season.
Some folks as is wiser than say that
the air from the sea impregnates the
other air as far inland as this warns it,
while beyond this belt of country the
breath of the Gulf Stream, as you might
call it has no effect. But don't know
Il can't tell. just know it's this way
onst q year, as you can see for your
self" and he vanished in the direction
Of the baggage car.

A WISH.

Nine be q cot beside the hill;
A beehive's hum shall soothe my ear,
A willowy brook that turns mill
With many fall shall linger near.
The swallow oft beneath my thatch
Shall twitter from her clsy-built nest;
Oft shall the pilgrim lift the latch,
And share my meal, welcome guest
Around my ivied porch shall spring
Each fragrant flower that drinks the dow
And Lucy, at her wheel shall sing
In russell gown and apron blue.
Tho village church among the trees,
Whore first our marriage VOWS were given,
With many peals shall swell the breeze,
And point with taper spire to heaven

must be given to your wife,"
Sir Lennox released her as though
she had stung him. His lips were
white, and his eyes glittered with q
strange, dull light.
The rush of the river filed up the
silence, and the sunbeams glistening
through the leaves threw golden radi-
ance over Clytie's white dress. But to
Sir Lennox the world had grown sud-
denly dark and void of every sound of
life. He took a few hurried steps
backwards and forwards, then paused
again in front Of Clytie.
"Will you say goodbye, Clytie?" he
said, huskily. "Will you give me your
hand in forgiveness?"
Something in his changed voice-in
his aching eyes, startled her. A wild
fear bounded into her heart. Without
a word she tore off her glove and held
her left hand towards him the hand
which only once before had been barred
in his presence.
He recoiled from the touch almost
with loathing. A wedding-rin circles
the marriage-fngerl
"You have deceived mel" he exclaims,
looking from the little, trembling hand
to the sweet face bent over it. Heaven
forgive you! Mine is not the only heart
you have broken!"
He turned and would have left her
perhaps for ever; but with q quick
Clytie threw herself before
him, her face winter than his, her eyes
full of frightened pain.
"Lennox-Lennoxi won't you listen
won't you take your wife's hand
now?"
He put his hand to his brow and
her wildly, wondering wheth-
or he or she were mad. "My wife's
1and? he muttered.
She chung ferverlshly to his arm,
md laid her face against his breast.
Cannot you understand, Lennox"
he cried, piteously. "You met me and
lid not know me, and wanted you to
owe me, for 1 was so lonely, Lennon.
Will you forgive me for letting you
all in love with the wife you hated ?"
He seized her hand and looked hard
t the ring. Then with few broken
lords of thanksgiving, he drew her to
is heart and covered her face with
assionate kisses.

weet pause: you might have spared

She gave a shy, happy smile.

| WAS breaking.
Clytie knew the misery she had
wrought in him, and as she looked into
his haggard eyes forgot all else save
the love that was wrecking his life, save
that now he was patient.
With sudden impulse she nestled
closer in his arms, and, lifting her face,
pressed her hot brow against his cheek.
The lips, so dangerously near, met, and
Clytie trembled and chung to him with
half-shrinking passion, while the
warmth of his kisses fingered on her
face.

claimed, his face lit up with wild rap
ture. "Do you mean this for farewell
Is this parting? Even parting is sweet
Clytie, if it is this"
HIS voice was broken in its impassion-
ed tenderness, and he crushed her closer
to him, as though he would draw her
right into his soul. Clytie hid her face
on his breast. She was quivering from
head to foot, and a hot mist had gath
cred in her violet eyes. After little
while she let him lift her head.
"You have not answered me yet,
Clytie," he said, his hand trembling as
it rested on her bright hair. us this
farewell ?"
This time there was no shrinking in
the gaze that met his, and she tried to
draw herself away from him.
IF have strength to send you, have
you not strength to go, to keep faith
with your wife ?" she asked softly.
A dark frown crept over his brow.

tween us?" he muttered fercely. my

side and commenced his aimless pacing
up and down.
Clytie watched him wistfully, her
large, innocent eyes more pitiful than
they had been before, the soft bloom
On her cheeks losing its richness.
II am glad you have told me your
story" she murmured, after long
pause, unable to endure the silence any
Longer; 81 may be able to help you"
He Interrupted her with an impatient
gesture.
What help is there for me?" he de-
manded, Aarshly, ''my fate is sealed
with curse. A home, wife, the love

And yet You hive wealth ?"
Wealth that I loathe, since it is the
chain which holds ma beyond the reach
of happiness" "
"You arc very bitter"
very" he responded, with short,
aching laugh. "The greatness of my
love for you makes me So"
She did not heed his words. Her fair
head was bent, so that he could not
look into her eyes, or be certain whether
the sigh he heard came from her sweet
lips or from the huttering rose- leaves
dropping close against her face.
'Do you ever think of the poor lone
~ hand that felt like the touch of death
in your clasp" she asked, abruptly, as
though she feared to let his thoughts
dwell too long upon herself-"the hand
on which you placed wedding ring!"

commanded ten men. They said in answer

She Was Il baroness.


The death of the Baroness de Fannem-
berg at Cannes, France, which was noticed
by the dispatches last week, brings back to
many st Louisans picture of society here
forty years ago. The baroness was then
Miss Sally Strothers, handsome and wealthy.
Several of the present most prominent of
our citizens were suitors for her hand, but
she bestowed her affections upon Lieut..
Granger, OF Jefferson barracks. Her pa
rents, however, were more ambitious of their
daughters marriage, and discouraged the
young soldiers suit. Finally, to avoid the
danger, Mrs. StrotherS took her daughter to
Europe, where, after time, like good,
Skillful mamma, she captured Baron de
Fannemberg, German nobleman Of many
ancestors, but scanty fortune. Miss Sally
StrOthers, having wealth, became Baroness de
Fannemberg. But the marriage proved I'M
happy and separation followed, by which
the baron was pensioned off in order to be
rid of him. The wife never returned to ST.
Louis, and after the death of her parents
continued to receive her annual rent from
several valuable blocks Of property here.
1t was only short time previous to her
death that she commissioned Mr.. Day, her
agent, to tear down her fathers former resi-
dence on Third street, adjoining the bridge
entrance on the north, and erect large
building. InaSmuch as other ST. Louis la
dies married abroad this history of former
belle is not uninteresting.

Il think the picture of Scott's execution
is authentic. have been told that he was
NOT KILLED AT THE FIRST FIRE,
and so one of the half-breeds stepped up
and shot him through the head with a pis-
toll. He was then put into fox and
placed in one of the bastions Of the fort.
Sometime during the night he was heard
groaning. and so they pulled him out of the
box and killed him over again. When the
Canadian government captured the fort
they found the empty box buried inside the
walls of the fort, but the body was I'M
dOubtedly sunk in the river by means of
weights, as they did not care to have it
known that he was so badly mutilated. His

ST.PAUL,S TRADE.
What our Wholesale and Retail
Merchants Have Been Doing
the pa st Week.

t1RC dSG " SCfAs
During the week just past there.has been
considerable activity in financial circles,
there having been good demand for
money at and 10 per cent. Exchange on
New York sold at so cents premium.
The real estate business has been exceed
ingIy active, a very large number of mod
crate transfers having been consummated,
also few of considerable importance. A
large amount of Eastern capital has been
received for investment in property. which
owners are holding at stiff prices. There is
an immense deal of building in progress at
the present time in all directions.
There has been great deal of activity in
wholesale groceries, an improvement being
generally felt. No material change in
prices.
The dry goods trade has been quiet
The drug trade is excellent steady in
crease since the opening of the year. and
surprising any previous years business.
Prices remain surprisingly low in the face
OF good and seemingly sufficient reasons for
an advance. The attempt to take away
trade from here By use of the railroad cut
was total failure, our dealers meeting
promptly the cut, and holding more firmly
than ever before their trade. No close
buyer can now afford to neglect the very
great advantages offered here. There have
been very few changes in price of leading
goods, and none of market Importance.
The wholesale clothing houses report
business quiet.
Trade in wholesale hats and caps has
been very good, there having been an active
demand for straw hats.
An improvement has been felt in whole
sale boot and shoe trade, satisfactory
business having been done in that line.
The leather trade continues good, with
steady prices.
There is considerable movement in heavy
iron at this time, although orders are
small they are numerous, and the cOndl-
ton of the trade may be said to be fairly
satisfactory.
All general lines of hardware are moving
actively, ice cream freeZerS and refrigera-
tors being in great demand at this time.
The wholesale wine and liquormerchants
report slight improvement in orders from
the country.
The demand for lumber is large, much
exceeding that of last year, prices being
very low, however, and protitless to the
dealers.
The fruit market has been active. there
having been good demand for all that has
been offered.
There has been great improvement in
the various branches of the retail trade, a
very satisfactory business having been
done in all lines, which is doubtless attrib-
utable to the fine weather.
