to know. But for her I would in all
probability not have been alive now.
She saved me fifteen or sixteen years
ago from a frightful death. l was lying
sick in bed, unable to move hand or
foot, when a sudden breeze, coming
into an open window, blew the curtains
into the gas-light. Susan Shields,
waiting in the hall to speak to my
mother, who was engaged with COM
pany, smelled the smoke, and rushing
up stairs, made her way through the
flames, and carried me bodily from the
room.n
ga brave actr' said Prof. Beaufort,
Il am indeed proud to know you, Miss
Shields"
"An act that l have never been able
to reward, deeply as have felt my OBJ
legations to her for it, said Prof
Reeves. ''When l recovered my health
and inquired for Miss Shields, | found
that she had moved from the town, and
| have never been able to discover
George could endure no more. Pale,
bewildered and contrite, he hurried
from the building.
When Susan entered her home an
hour later, she found him lying on the
sofa in the little sitting-room, his face
buried in the great patchwork cushion.
He did not move or speak as she ap.
preached him.
George" she said, tremulously,
''won't you look at me, dear? | have
something 1want to say to you"
Still he did not move.
You must not feel so badly about it,
dear" continued Susan. still in that
tremulous voice, and laying her hand
tenderly on his shoulder. II was a
little hlrt at first, of course. But it
don't matter, and / don't wonder that
you acted as you did. 1t was only
natural that you should be ashamed of
me, coming in upon you SO unexpectedly
and in this plain, cheap dress-and-
I don't mind it at all, reallyr' But
even as she spoke she sank down in a
little heap on the floor, and hiding her
face in her hands began to cry as if her
heart would break.
George was by her side in an instant,
his arm around her: and as he kissed
over and over again the poor, SCARED,
tear-wet face, he poured forth words of
deepest sorrow and contrition, and
pleaded humbly to be pardoned for the
pain he caused her.
80, Susan!'' he said, it is y0u who
ought to be ashamed of me. | can
never, neverforgiVe myself. If you had
only told me how you came by these
scars, dear sister! If I had only
knownr
Of course Susan returned his kisses
twofold, and told him over and over
again that she loved him just as well
as ever. Then she began to look for
something nice for him to eat, and
packed little basket full of goodies
for him to take back to the Academy.
This painful matter must never be
referred to again, dear George" she
said as she kissed him goodbye. ''We
will both forget it."
All, that was easier to say than to do.
George knew that the memory of it
clung to his sister as long as she lived,
and made her doubly sensitive to her
unfortunate appearance, and he would
willingly have given all the wealth and
honor he acquired in his later years to
rid her eyes of that mournful express
sion which reproached him for that one
er-to-be-forgotten act.-Fiorence b

THE CZAR.
Whom He Must Consult and Convince In
the Event of War.


the Event of War.
We do not, like some of our contem
poraries, accuse the Russian Govern
ment of habitual and deliberate bad
faith. Its statesmen are probably no
worse than half the diplomatists of the
Continent who are all, from Prince
Bismarck downward, possessed with the
notion that guile is upon occasion an
allowable weapon. They regard the
making of feints as part of statecraft,
just as it is part of strategy, and have
no more scruple about gaining time by
assurances than about preparing an
ambuscade. But we do think, as we
have all along maintained, that the
Foreign Office at st. Petersburg has not
the full control over the acts of Russian
Agents which is enjoyed by other For
eign Offices. The Foreign Minister
may give assurances in the most perfect
faith; but he does not appoint and can
not remove either the Governors-G Gen
eral or the Commanders-in-C Chief, and
if they act for themselves, the Gar, who
alone can control all alike. may for
personal or dynastic, or even political
reasons, feel compelled to side with
them rather than his Foreign Minister,
who, again, when this has occurred,
makes the best of it. He may resign,
and according to Western ideas he
should resign; but that is not the way
of despotic courts, where resignation is
regarded as implying an impertinent
censure on the sovereign. If M. de
Giers meant resigning, he would not
resign, but fall sick. England can not
conquer Russia, and can never be in
position in which few concessions
would not induce her to make peace.
The Russian war party. therefore,
though not aided by the people, has
little to fear from the resistance of their
opinion. 1t is the army only, and the
statesmen, that the Gar has to consult
or to convince. London Spectator.

''Golly, amt that immense!''
The speakers were two small boys,
sun-burned, barefooted, and with big
straw hats. They wore short pants,
buttoned to a waist, with large white
buttons, and were on their way to the
creek to swim; but at sight of q large
patch of ripe berries forgot all about
the water.
''Go for 'em!n said the older boy,
and without more delay both scr rambled
into the bushes, and were soon stained
inside and out with bright blue juice.
Tt does not take long for a boy to fill
himself, and soon both boys were as
full as they could hold.
''Um-guess that is all can hold, Il
remarked the first boy.
I'm full too, you bet! but l wish /
was holler all the way to. my feet. so /
could hold more. Let's take some home
to mother.
''All right, but how can we carry
'em? can't hold any more inside of
me, and we amt got basket or sack. ;"
''Pll tell ye what! Let's take off our
pants, tie up the legs an carry 'en
home full.n @
.All right" And without q mo-
ment's delay the two little rascals
slipped Off their pants. tied up the bot
tom of each leg with string and soon
had each pair of pants full of ripe ber-
ries. Singing their pants over then
shoulders they started for home, slipped
along by the woods, down the hollow,
past the old watering trough. and
reached the barn, where they found a
large basket, emptied the berries and
put the pants where they belonged. And
do you suppose the berries were all nice
whole ones? Not a bit of it. About
one-third were mashed and the inside of
the pants were damp and blue.
The boys didn't notice this but picked
up the basket and carried the berries to
mother Wasn't she delighted! That
same day the berries were prepared and
put in jars. and all that winter we had
huekleberries But You should have
seen those boys that night when they
undressed for bed! OF all the blue
sights you ever saw, and it would not
rub off either. 81.
From the waist down those boys were
one, or rather two, masses of blue.
(Blue mass is better phrase.) How
they did yell and laugh, until their
mother came up to see what the matter
was. Then both crept into bed and
drew blanket over the scene.r-Reck' 5
