George Arson went into lodgings near the
mandatory, but he was frequent visitor
to the-house and always welcome, winning
everybodY,s affections. Adelaide had spoken
only truth in saying he was good and noble
At first his visits were general, but when the
May-bloOm had given place to the June roses
we all felt that they were intended for Mary
alone. Most assuredly they were in love
with one another.
As the days grew warmer and longer, AIDE
laide seemed to lose her vivacity, and the
rich scarlet faded from her cheeks. leaving
them cOlorleSs and waXen-white. There was
wistful, panied look in her black eyes, and
she seemed to drOOp and sicken gradually,
yet without any disease. Mrs. ChallOner
noticed it at last; more than once she wished
to call in the family physician.
mo, indeed" Adelaide would say, with a
peculiar smile, lit is nothing but headache.
My mothers family are all subject to it; and
you know cannot get used to the warm
weather. The summers are much hotter
here than in Cheshire"
They were not hotter at all. But, with
that explanation of Adelade's changed looks,
we had TO be content
One moonlight night in July, when Mrs.
ChallOner and Emma were out, and Mr..
ChallOner had gone to London, Adelaide and
were sitting near the, open window of the
drawing-rOOm, enjoying the cool fragrant
air. The girl had complained of headache as
usual, and had drawn her head down to rest
upon my shoulder. George Arson and Mary
were sitting in the veranda that ran under
meath the window, and the low murmur of
their voices reached our ears.
Adelaide" whispered, cOnidentially in
the silence, as the other two moved away
arm-in-arm, do you know that | believe
Mary will be your cousin some day. What
do you think?'
IF you knew what headache have you
would not talk to Inc, Miss Lane" she an
swered, YEARLY.
Poor child! l wondered whether she
meant heartache..
Soon after, we heard the gate close behind
Mr.. Arson, and as Mary came lightly up the
veranda steps, Adelaide kissed me silently
and left the room.

That night sat up late, talking with Mrs.

not mistaken; she was weeping and Sobbing
as if her heart would break. Either she had
OWNED the truth, or else Emma, who must
be talking of everything, had gone into AIDE
laides room and told her. Like a flash there
darted into my mind the first four lines of
Mary's fortune, as told by the gypsy woman
in April:
"AnOthers loss will be your gain;
Your joy will cause another pain:
Your hopes will be anOther's Tears;
Your smiles will cause another tears"

One frequently sees In the corridors
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel a stocky
little man smoking his after-dinner
cigar. In summer he invariably wears
an unusually tall white hat, and after
the autumn leaves drop it is replaced
by an equally tall black one. This is
evidently to give the little man height.
He usually wears suit of dark mixed
goods, and every other step he takes
somebody grasps his hand and wants
to know who he is. He's Lieut.. Gen.
PHI Sheridan, and only when one
looks into his determined eye can it be
imagined that he'd just as soon fight
at the head OF an army as eat. A re-
porter, with more zeal than discretion,
tackled the General the other night
with the question, "What do youlthink

tions' Gen. Sheridan looked solemnly
at him for second, and then, in a
fatherly way, replied: "Young man,

young man recolleoted the Generals
official position, and, after suitable
explanation, the two chatted away like
good fellows.

STRENGTH FOR TODAY.

Strength for to-day Is all we need,
As there never VIII be a tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove but mother day,
With Its measure Of JOY and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials Of life
with much sad and grave persistence,
And walt and watch for crowd OF ills
That as yet have no existence7
Strength for to-day what precious boon
For earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
TO the needy friend or neighbor.
strength for to-day that the weary he ,rts
In the battle OF right may quail not,
And the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not
Strength for to-day on the down-hill track,
For the travellers near the valley,
That up, far up on the other SIDE,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day, that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build from the rise to the set Of the sun
on strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day in house and home
To practice forbeara ance swestly;
TO scatter kind words and loving deeds,
still trusting In God completely.
