the door and passing into the street,
and never pausing until she was far

George had come then. and had no

From the breakfast.table, where she
sat waiting, she followed Lena with
her eyes as she left tho window, after
watching George fastening down from
the hotel to join them.
LENA" she said, something or
some one has made you very pretty
the last few days. Look at yourself in
the glass, my little beauty"
1t was a very pretty face-the ten
der, loving blue eyes, the bright, soft
color in the cheeks, the fair g.ossy
hair, so daintily dressed, and the hap
by, smiling mouth. 1t was a very
pretty face, indeed; but Lena "a not
needing it; she vas watching the other
face over her shouldcr-the face she
loved so well-and the change in il
seemed to strike her then for the first
time.
"Georgie," she cried, "are you well,
dearp Are you happy"
"Why not?" laughed George, push
ing back the thick dirk hair.
What is it in your face that looks
80 oddP"
''Let mo see," and George went to
one glass, peering in. "My nose il
not quite SO broad as it used to be-
and u very good thing, too. though
Byron had a broad nose, now l come
TO think of it. And what else is thereP
A wrinkle or two-premature old age
and then, two large eyes, full OF
malice as that horrid old Scarron said
of his wife's. don't see anything
else peculiar; do your
"Georgie, don't be SO mad. Talk
seriously to me, dear. Are you tired
of Nswrp Shall we 90 at oncoP"
Listen !" laughed Georgia, raising
a warning finger, and popping into
her seat, as a tootstep mounted the
stairs. George does so grumble if
the cofreeis cold"
Lena greeted him rather ~absently,
in spite of the watching at the window.
81 think Georgia will like to go home
earlier than next week." she said anx-
Iously.
LET us go, then, darling. Shall we
start to-dayP" he asked, bending, with
a questioning look in Georgie's face.
Il would rather not leave yet" she
answered quietly. 'sNawr has brought
us a great deal of happiness"
you only say it for III sakes, l
fear" objected Lena, still looking un-
convinced. ''just because l told you l
should like a few nor days here be-
fore we go among everybody
Il do like to lay my weaknesses on
others when I can, but this time l am
innocent. l bear it all myself. Stay
for my sake
So it was settled that they were not
TO leave until the next week; then
George began giving them small selec-
tons from The Times.

Zuleika sails tomorrow. l am very
sorry, for | had hoped to see Captain

CHAPTER VII.

With q strange mixture OF longing
and shrinking, George watched
George all that day. Would there
come an opportunity for her to speak
to him aloneP Would it be possible
for her to do itl She would not make
the opportunity in defiance Of chance;
but if it should come. she would take
it and be glad. She had always been
able to tell George anything, he was SO
firm and tender. He could settle
everything for her In the old times; but
then, though she did not think of it
herself, she was changed. The char
acter that had baen hayward and IN
formed had ripened and strengthened
into such a one as George had never
been called upon to help or ueach-one
in which the strength to bear, and
bravery to act, were beautified mex
pressibly by q most perfect sweetness
a bright, unclouded nature, in which
self was aver the last thought; hut firm
and decided to the core.
So she waited for the opportunity
which she would not make, and IL
never came. Then, after . wakeful.
restless night, she rose to the thought
Z winch SIC had &C yainly tried TO &C
custom herself but it was too late now
for anything she could do, and she
must leave it in higher hands.
s'To think, George, Of your taking 9
walk before breakfast!' laughed Lena,
as George came in with q little color,
which she had fictitiously caused by
rubbing her cheeks with q towel when
their CHASTITY palior had frightened he,
as she took off her hat.

best counselor there; hut tell me one
thing-I do not ask it out of curiosity,
and you tell it to a brother who loves
you dearly-did you love him when
you sent him away?"
The answer was SO very low-in
shame or earnestness he did not know
which, that he had to bend down to
catch tho whispered words:
Eyes, George-deariy, dearly"
"Then, George DEAR" he said, after
they had walked slowly on for a time
in silence, while a new light came into
his eyes, II will remember this when

which you would wish, for | can guess
them; and l will write to you after |

would like, dear?"
"If you will do this. George" she
said, with a happy light in her dark
eyes, IL shall not think SO miserably of
his going. Tell him we shall often
think of him-shall always rememb Der
him as a dear friend. and shall thank
him for much Of our happiness--all our
happiness, George" sho added, the
glistening tears starting at last.
Can you doubt hat /, OF all the
world. should fail to tell him thisp
Dear little George, no wonder he has
won such love from you. And he
thought it was myselt-myself. l see,
my dear"
With full hearts they turned, walking
in silence. till they reached the streets
again; when George said, very gently:
THANK you for trusting NE. Will
you trust Lena toop"
NO" she replied firmly; II will not
make her unhappy for n single day;
go long as have the power to help it.
You hardly know what happiness is
to her. She is not strong and
careless like me. Ard, o George! to
see her now, in this Joy of having you
again, is so delicious"
Dear George, you arc right" he
returned, gratefully, land just the ten

Why, you used to make a very slave of
me!'

vantage-made you each serve me for

Didnr Like To BE Laughed At.

Over on State street one day last week
man slipped in the slush and fell
sprawling His bundles went flying
through the air and came down in
state of confusion. The man looked
very cOmical. and several hundred people
stopped to litter. A smile spread over
sea of faces. But the man did not rise.
A look of pain came on his face, and he
raised his hand as IL beseeching aid. A
dozen men rushed forward to help him.
and the women exclaimed, ~Oh. he is
burt" and looked oceans Of sympathy
The man was helped to his feet and his
packages collected ana carefully placed
in his arms, while two or three good
samaritans wiped the slush from his
clothing and nicely smoothed out his
ruffled silk hat Then he staggered away,
followed by many anxious eyes. But
once around the corner he Strengthened
up, smiled softly to himself and walked
away as spry rs a spring colt, chuckling
to himself:

A Gree. Grocer In Devon.

herbs and some spices and presided over

served in Mr.. B. was the difference
in his manner when you bought his pota-
toes or greens, and when, In his second
calling Of waiter, he handed you your
soup or pudding at the small winter din
ner parties given in town
In the shop he was affably discursive,
touching the onions or greens with care
less hand and free, hght-heartei man

solemn, and occasionally looked a.
though he defed any one present to sug-
gest that his name hung over . shop in
the High street. The fact that he sold
you potatoes for twopence q pound was
never to be confounded with the other
more imposing fact that for 5 shillings an
evening. attired in an irreproachable cos
tune, he waited on select dinner parties
among the smaller gentry Of the place.
When the real spring began to show
itself the little grocery had an inexhaust-
ible fascination for me. The garden was
20 spontaneously gay ana fiourishing
and its one bit Of warm southern wall so
early stood hung with blossoms, and B.
and his wife, moving about toward sun
set among the small garden beds and
modest vines, were such PICTURES of hon

inclined to linger after I nad made my
purchases, on the excuse of making an
inquiry into the condition of asparagus

This tool does not require an extremely

J.As. Kelley. Ab.si..,e. fro. Tobacco.

judge KeIley's Abstinenos fron Tobacco.
Judge W. D. Kelley ascribes his present
good health largely due to the fact that
he has entirely stopped the use of tobacco
For ffty-five years he had chewed and
smoked. A cigar was always in his
mouth during the day, and he went to
sleep with quid between his jaws The
result was that his system became satur.
ated with nicotine, and the side Of the
cheek in which the tobacco lay at night
became poisoned and a cancerous sore was
developed which caused him great pain.
The doctors told him he must stop the use
Of tobacco He did 20 partially, keeping
away from the cigar shops and only
taking now and then the small end Of .
cigar which . friend might cut OF in
lighting preparatory to smoking.
Two years ago, however, he had this
cancerous formation cut out of his cheek,
and from that time to this, he tells me,
not an atom of tobacco has passed his
lips. The nicotine has now gone out of
his system, and he feels like a new man.
He still avoids places where he mus3
breathe tobacco smoke, though his will,
- strong as the pig-iron after which he is
named. can now easily Withstand every
tempta,ion--Washington Letter.
