he was almost prisoner in his palace
that he feared assassins would slay him if
he left the place. and he would surrender
to the British authorities Colonel Sloden

Stevens and His Bicycle in Persia.

New York, December 3d.-Recent letters
state that Thomas Stevens, who started
from San Francisco on a bicycle tour
around the world, has reached Tehnran in
Persia. The centaurs of Old and the first
Spanish horsemen in Mexico did not cause
more wonderment than this intrepid BIZ
cyclist in all the villages and towns of Asia
through which he passed. In some places
the people would not let him enter their
villages or have any dealings with him. In
others they stoned him, taking him to be
the devil himself. Stevens proposes to
winter in Persia then continue his journey
through Khorassan, Afghanistan and
China. The Shah has taken great interest
in his performance and Stevens was invited
to display his skill at one of the royal pal
aces in the neighborhood of Teheran.

BY ROBERT ]. BURDETTE.

No sullen gun booms requiems o'er his grave, Nor do the furled flags canopy his sleep; But the night winds through the grasses sigh andraye, And sentinel stars above their vigil keep. For laughter hushed when he laid down his pen,
 And shadows gathered when his smile was gone. The twilight deepened ia the sauctum when That heart of laughter sought the silent dawn. Brave heart of mirth, that laughed our cares away,
 The while it ached with its own bitterness, Sleep on, in waiting for the brighter day When oil oi joy our mourning hearts will bless. About thy tomb will twine the tender smiles Wreathed into being by thy ightsome words; And far off echoes of soft laughter come Above thy sleep, like caroling of birds.

CHAPTER II.

Before, however, Kathleen's letter haC time to reach its destination, Bruce him self made his appearance at the parson age. He swung back the little wooden gate, and came up the garden path, no only with the easy, happy air of man who is sure of his welcome, but with au added briskness that seemed to imply that he had piece of good news to com. municate
 Mrs. Derwent watched his approach from the window of her husbands study whither she had retired to discuss with him in quietude the events of the day Their early dinner (eaten without the peas) was over. Tom, who for some req son best known to himself, had been re- markedly silent throughout the meal, had taken his fishing rod and gone down to the trout-stream Kathleen who had got through an altogether brilliant amount of conversation-possibly to atone for Tom s deficiency in that respect-had also dis appeared somewhere for solitude and re- tiection ; and Mrs Derwent, taking pos session of big Japanese paper fan (not her basket of unmended stockings), seated herself in an easy chair in her hus bands study with an air ofleisure alto- gether new to her.
 "The Wilmots will be sorry now they did not ask Kathleen to their last dance" she began in voice from which nervous querulousness seemed suddenly to have disappeared. Evidently her brains were speculating on the effect the astounding news of the legacy would have upon neighbors and friends when it began to be noised abroad in the parish.
 Her husband, good man, was pursuing an undercurrent of thought entirely dis tinct from hers. He stood balancing on one finger his lately written letter to the Ecclesiastical commissioners-it con- tained an application for a grant for much-needed repairs" to the parson- age.
 "l think, after all, l won't post this let ter today" he said, looking little doubt fully at his wife "I mean it's just possi- ble, after time, it may not suit us to stay on here" He paused a moment, and then added rather more boldly: " l mean Pm not getting younger, the work is hard, the income small-a few years of rest would prolong my life, and it would scarcely be worth while to undertake the trouble of putting this place in order for ones successor"
 Mrs. Derwent did not allow the remark to interrupt her train of ideas. On they went on much the same lines as before.
 "l dare say Sir Thomas Longley wouldn't have been in such a hurry to send his son out of the way to London if this money had come a month ago." she went on; "only the last time he called when he begged me to discourage an in- tercourse between Kathleen and Sam, he said-s Mrs. Derwent, don't misunder- stand me; Kathleen is one of the sweetest girls have ever seen but it's just this the land is 90 heavily mortgaged through one thing and another, that unless Sam marries money, he won't be able to call an acre his own soon.' Ireally shouldn't

What-what is it all about?" he asked mildly, looking over his spectacles round the room as though he expected somewhere in its corners to find the cause of the unusual merriment. "l could hardly finish my letter to the Ecclesias- tical Commissioners. You've positively made my head go round with your noise in here."
 But when the good news had been communicated to him, his head went round faster than ever.
 Then he seated himself, took of hi. glasses, and rubbed away at what looked like mist upon them.
 Poor Kathleen-poor Kathleen 1" he muttered half to himself, with something near akin to a sigh.
 "ltll be rich Kathleen,' Pm rather thinking" said Tom, beginning to drum a tattoo on the table with his mother. scissors.
 Eh-what? ?" said his father, suddenl, recalling himself to his surroundings "fes-yes, of course, rich Kathleen now not doubt" and here he smiled cheeril, up into his daughters face. "Shall wt light up bonhres tonight, and set the bells ringing-eh, Katie 2'
 No one in the room knew-not ever his wife-that in his early college days Mir. Derwent and the deceased Kathleen o Brien had been sweethearts, and tha, to this fact might be traced the pertinac ity with which on the birth of his daugh ter he had insisted that the spinster lady in far-2way Dublin should be asked to be her god-mother
 "We1l give tea and cakes to the whole village, iather," cried Kathleen, once more clapping her hands, and dancing round the room, "a and we'll all of us have new dresses, and coats, and hats and bon nets. And you shall have a curate father, and aos wear yourself cut wi.a parish work. And you'll be able to join all those clubs you wanted to, Tom cricket, tennis and everything else; and you, mother, shan't strain your eyes any more over mending and darning old stockings"
 It was only absolute want of breath tha, made her pause now. and give the others chance of putting in word.

 But it was Toms exclamation which sent Kathleen all in a hurry out of the room to look for pen and ink without an- other moments delay.
 say, Kathleen" he cried, l wonde. what Bruce will have to say to it2 sup. pose you'll send him a line some time to- day"
 Now Bruce Atkins was the son of a lawyer at Carlisle, who had, during re- cent visit to North Lees, met and fallen in love with Miss Kathleen. It was an understood thing that the two were to be married SO soon as old MT. Aitken could make up his mind to take Bruce as a partner into the firm a step he had hith. erto shown marked reluctance to take, alleging that Bruce at fve-and-twenty years of age lacked the experience neces- sary for so responsible position.
 Most assuredly, one way or another Bruce Aitken might be expected to have a word to say on the matter of Kathleen's legacy.

Queer isn't it that some persons
always are willing to accept every
thing that is offered them provided
it costs nothing. Major Burke's
modesty in this respect recently re.
ceived quite a telling shock from the

Frances e. Willard in her speech on
Temperance Day said the grand
thought Of the Exposition originated
in Burke's brain, when in truth be
