fossils Sometimes sfere was half an horr's
detention, and then he and Miss May would have
good, brisk, constitutional walk together.
Now Clipsham had mining interests in Colo
RADIO, and Mr. May had smelling interests. And,
when Mr.. May attended to the smelling, Mr..
Clipsham would wait with them, and while
Clipsham inquired about the mining, the Mays
were not far away. And the Garden OF the
Gods" was more divine than ever, when they
dismissed the carriage one evening, and, under
the moonlight, walked home together, with
those strange old divinities looking down in
still approval of what these younger people said
or did. Altogether the journey out. and the
journey there, and the journey home were
charming. Cipsham never received one news
paper all the time, and he did not dream that he
was growing famous. AS for the Mays, they
never asked nor cared whether he were public
man or private man. 1t was enough for them
that Rev DR.. Jones had recommended him:
him chance, George Ciipsham is anywhere
his own best Recommendation. He is modest
man. but you cannot be with him day without
saying that ne is brave, quiet true Cnrlstan
gentleman. He thinks very little Of himself. but
Is glad, nay eager, if he can, to make other peo-
pie happy and good, and to serve the world
whore he has chance to serve it.
Nothing, indeed could have been better, or
brighter, or more happy in its results than TINS
entirely, and before the journey was over he had
undertaken to take care Of Elinor to the end or
her days, il she would let him. She, on her
part, has taken such good care Of him from that
DAY to this, he has never made the wrong speech
in the wrong place-and he has never had that
''horrid influenza" again.
When he came back to Tamworth, in all the
exuberance of his new lfe he did manage to ask
DR.. Jones how he ever wrote DAY" instead OF
May" For the calendar stil hung there, and
there was the ID" perfectly plain. in the Doctors
writing.
Then 1t was that a thorough examination and
explanation ensued, and then Gertrude, in tears,
confessed to her mother, for she. poor child, had
never forgotten her sin. But she had perfect
absolution. A beautiful doll, open-eyes- shut
eyes, given her, and she has never been
scolded from that day to this
You would say that Clipsham would have
called on Mrs. Day in ST. Louis on his first visit
there. But he has never done 80. His wife
says she 10 afraid to have him. He says he
has found out that there are no nice daughters
there.
Both he and Elinor bless Gertrude every day
OF their lives for her little experiment on his
calendar.

After moments delay he was admitted, and
a very charming lady came forward to meet him.
Clipsham bowed, and said she very kind to
be SO informal. and to permit him to be, but he
cago; and then he was presented to Elnor, and
think the whole thing was pretty
much finished then, as far as he was concerned.
and SO would you, if you knew Elinor

little inquiry about DR.. Jones. But that did not
come out very we'll In the first place, Clipsham
did not hear very we'll. In the second place. he
was good deal preoccupied with Elnor. In the
third place the DIR. Jones he was talking about
was the leading physician of Tamworth, and the

proved that he heard Miss Elinor much better
than he had heard any body for fortnight. The
journey had been of use already Then they fell
to singing duets even on this slight acquaintance.
She plays charming accompaniment and he
sings admirably, when he has no cold. She was
tolerant that evening, though his voice was all
wrong Then, when her father came, IL proved
that they were all going to Colorado Springs on
the next day but one. and so 1t was very easy
for Clipsham to make up his mind that he had
business which would keep him over q day in
Chicago. Although he did not tell them So he
made his resolution to stay before he left the
house.
When he had gone away Elinor's mother said
she pitied him because he had such q horrid
cold. "But, mamma" said Elinor Ibid you

Of May He kept calling you Mrs. Day"
Mrs May had not observed this. But it was
even So As for Clipsham, when he met them
both at the train, and took his seat with them in
the same Pullman. he was 70 such fool but he
could see that all their seats in the car were
taken for Mrs. May. Mr.. May and Miss May
But then he supposed the r. p. G. man had
written this wrong When, however. the names
which they had themselves put on the books
with which they travelled, proved to be MAY, !"
Clipsham gave up his conviction that he knew
their names better they did. As he went on,
indeed. he began to be wondering whether he
could not persuade Miss Elinor to change hers
He was very soon on that plane of conversation
when he called her .sMiss Elinor"
Yes, Pullman is q very nice place when the
company Is good. They sang in the twilight,
for Clipsham's voice improved very fast, and HIS
hearing gained so that he could hear Miss Elinor
even when she spoke in very low tones Of expe-
rences of hers which she would not care to have

to Alaska The Pullman people had not then
advanced 80 far as to have grand piano in the

words.
Colorado, the doctor asked him If he should stop
In ST. Louis. He said he certainly should.
Then the doctor told him that he must call on
some friend of his named Day, and gave him the
address. The doctor took card and wrote on
it. Mr.. George Clipsham, introduced by DR..
Jones'" Cllpsham was lying on a long extension
chair. carefully wrapped up in o Zuni blanket,
and he asked the doctor to put down the name
and street on the fatal calendar, and there the
doctor put 1t. just as Clipsham bade him. Be-
fore Clipsham started on his journey he copied
all the lines from the calender upon his pocket
book. There was not much, and he did not look
at the dates. They came thus:
M-Speak at caucus.
Tu-Stop over at Aunt Eucy's.

And SO on.
But Chpsham never noticed that the dates
were wrong He copied the entries into his own

was in Chicago. He looked in his diary and
he found this entry. "How queer it is, said he
II thought Jones said these people lived in ST
Lous"--as. indeed, DR.. Jones did. But Clip
sham had formed this notion, that his memory
was failing, so he consulted the hotel clerk to
how he should find the street. The clerk never
heard of it, but saw in a moment that it should
be Ohio street, and that Clipsham had copied it
wrong. Clipsham went to No. 999, as he thought
he had been hidden. Here he sent in the card:

The most pleasant place Miss Field ever en-

results as to make her argument against the

1.-THE end
April.

April.
No nets the prophet spider Spreads
Sure signal Of wet weather,
The pigeons pout upon the leads,
And preen each penciled feather.
Torn clouds are scudding overhead,
The birds have ceased their singin
To naples tipped with dusky red
An Grant throng is winging.
While faster, faster falls the rain,
The sheltering branches culver,
And tossing down the window-pane
Streams swift mimic river.
Small spheres cling trembling to the caves,
And drop in tinkling FLASHES,
A shimmering web the shower weaves
That breaks in fitful dashes.
An instant, and a sunshaft falls,
Red robins cheep and twitter,
The clover clumps are silver balls,
And all the fields aglitter.
o April April every hour
Charms with it's changing graces,
When breaking buds burst into flower,
And sun and storm change places.

Low Pay for Wage workers in Germany.

New York Commercial Advertiser
Chales P. Kimball, United States consui at
Stuttgart, Germany, passed through New York
yesterday on his way to Washington. having
come homo on department matters not uncon-
nected, it is understood, with the manner certain
German manufacturers have undervalued the
goods which they send to America, at least so
far as their official invoices go.
Bismarck is doing everything he can to build
up Germany" he said. He is enforcing q
strong protective tariff and the manufacturers
are prospecting. Wages have gone up about 5
per cent, so that wage-workers are somewhat
encouraged; but the rewards of labor are so
small that much greater increase in pay is
necessary to ameliorate the present terrible con-
dition OF the laboring classes. Emigration is dis
couraged as much as possible, but the people
get away to America as fast as their friends out
here can help them to do So If left to them
selves they would never be able to save the
small amount Of money necessary to pay their
way across the ocean. The foremen of the
gangs who keep the streets clean in Wurtem-
burg receives about seventy cents day; the
ordinary workman about seventeen cents

of little value. Probably half a million
of them are taken yearly. The great
reason for fur seals being found on these two
