a stalwart young giant standing over six

should be in abject thraldom to plain lit

compelling him to marry her daughter.

papers, some Of which had gone SO far as
to mention an early date being fixed "for
the marriage of a lovely debmante of this
season and young Earl recently of age,
whose ancestors came over with the Con-

envy the shopmen, the cab-drivers, the
crossing-sweepers-to envy any one not
singled out by Lady Jane Magnus to be
her son-in-law.

sured this will never happen again.
'Ialways thought you were too sanguine,"
said AIDA, ready to vent her displeasure on
everybody. l don't believe he ever wanted
to marry me, only you would have it he
did"
Lady Jane went to London, was absent
week, and then returned sadder but not
a wiser woman. Nota trace could she find
of Glencore, not word had she heard of
him.
"And Peggy" said AIDA, ''what about
her ?"
"Not syllable She had been gone a
week and more before Harris wrote to me.

head mournfully, perhaps some day, when
you have daughters of your own, you may
know. Talk Of martyrs You have only
to look at mothers"
That evening when Lady Jane joined
the guests assembled in the drawing room,
she noticed that every one looked at her
with an air of inquiry. 1t had been agreed
at the request of the hostess that not a word
on subject uppermost in the minds of all
Of them should be mentioned until after
dinner. Poor Lady Jane, sitting in fools
paradise, actually fancied the object of her
absence had lost its interest to everybody.
Alas mine was about to explode and
Lady Somerton, nettled at the want of con-
fidence shown, was the one to set the match.
Advancing to the comfortable armchair in
which, the ladies having returned to the
drawing room, her smiling guest was re-
clining, she said
"Of course, dear Lady Jane, you have
seen the announcement in the Times of to-
day ?"
"No, indeed; waited until 1 got here

"To you, yes, of great interest, should

Esq, to Harold William, tenth Earl Of
Glencore.'
AIDA gave bound
"Peggy!" she shrieked "Mother, oh! !"
But Lady Jane interrupted her. With
supreme effort the modern martyr rose to
the occasion.
"Be calm, dear child,' she said. "See
what your coldness has driven him to.
However, poor fellow, in spite of his dis
appointment, he was determined, it seems,
to marry one of the family"

A Leap Year Episode

There was party across the river the
other night. Toward the close she slipped
to his side and sweetly asked:
"Going home by yourself, Charlie?"
Guess So" he replied.
"Would you like some one to see you
homer"
"Depends on who it is" His answers
were very short and crusty Many one
would have been disheartened, but Lucy
was not of that kind. She still persevered:
''Some young lady, l mean"
depends on who the young lady is,
said the brute.
"Some one about my size, " persisted the
angel.
'There are several here about your size"
'There's only one exactly my SIZE
"See here, Lucy" said Charlie, off you
want to take me home you may"
"Oh!'' she replied, "Tve no particular
desire to take you home, but as l was 60
ing your way Thought"
He interrupted her with an ''all fight!''
and together they left.
He was leaning on her arm, and silently
they meandered over the frozen streets.
They stopped at his door, He invited her
in.
"No, Charley, won't go in, but / want
to tell you something"
By the light of the street lamp on the
corner Charles face was seen to grow pale
as she continued:
II am abundantly able to support a hus-
band 1 have bank account of good
size. L love you, Charlie, and can give you
good home Will you be mine, dearest?'
"Lucy," gasped the brute, ''you've no
idea what it takes to support husband"
She interrupted him.
Darling, if it would be necessary, |
would work from morning until night, and
even take in washing and sewing; you shall
want for nothing. Only say you will be
mine"
"No, Lucy, it cannot be, | shall always
love you as brother, watch over yoer
pathway through life, and should you stand
in need Of advice or assistance, you can re-
ly on my willingness to assist you; but I
can never marry you

"Base wretch" she exclaimed, ''you will
live to repent your hasty decision, for
tomorrow my dead body will be found in
the cold wate. DTsa.i and clasp
ing him in her arms in one eonvulsixe en-
brace, she fled into the outer darkness.

THE RUNAWAYS.
From Longman's Magazine.



/.
The same year that Lady Jane Magnus
presented her beautiful daughter Adela,
Lord Glencore was the match of the sea-
son. Just of age, of an old family, with
vast possessions, and a heavy rent-roll,
swelled by long minority, the instant the
hawk-like eye of Lady Jane fell on the
young peer thrill Of joy assured her that
there stood the husband Providence had
provided for Adela.
Little mattered it to Lady Jane that
Lord Glencore was silent, awkward, most
painfully shy, given to blush to the very
roots of his hair if a woman but addressed
the most commonplace remark to him.
Adela had been too carefully trained to pin
her faith to externals. Besides, as regard
ed marriage, Lady Jane always arranged
these little affairs for her daughters. She
had brought out three before the advent
of the lovely Adela, and not one of them,
she inwardly boasted, had ever reason to
fling syllable of reproach at their mother.
"You think it is all right, mother, do
you ?" Adela Yentured to say, growing a
little uneasy when the end Of the season
drew near, and Lord Glencore had never
addressed single remark to her which
could by any possibility be construed into
love. N
Perfectly right, dear. The society
papers have coupled your names together;
an approaching marriage has more than
once been limited at, and, as a matter of
course, now wherever people ask us he is
asked p
''I know; still other people are not the
same as he."
"Quite the same. l understand the
position perfectly well, my love. Men Of
his kind would remain silent until dooms-
day unless a suggestion was made to
them
"Well, but"
'Dear child, you may leave it to me.
Don't you think so p And an expression
of mild reproach was shot from the mater
nal eye. "Do you fancy that, if saw the
slightest shadow of uncertainty l should
accept Sir Joscelyn's invitation for Good
wood, knowing that Glencore won't be
there?"
"Won't he? Why, where is he going?''
"Nowhere. | ascertained that, you may
be sure He is obliged to remain in town.
There'll not be soul left for him to speak
to. Some business with his lawyers, he
said-and said it in very pointed way,
too"
''Stammering and getting fiery red. y
said the would-be fancee disdainfully.
Lady Jane shook her head. "Neyel
mind the manner; it is the meaning we are
concerned in. He joins us Immediately
after at Thorndean There you will sec
that everything will be satisfactorily ar.
ranged Lady Somerton has such happy
way of letting young people be thrown to
/ gether, aud from the first have seemed
to be very much guided by her."
Adela embraced her mother with grace
full effusion.
"How clever you are p she said admir-
ingly; 'you have managed beautifully, fol
I did want to enjoy Goodwood free. Whel
I am Countess, mamma, it shall be yer,
nice for you"

TWO SURPRISES.

r. W. McAlpine in the st. Nicholas.
A workman piled his clumsy spade
As the sun vas going down;
The German King, with cavalcade.
On his way to Berlin Town.
Refined up his his steed at the old mans side,
my toiling friend" said he.
"why not cease work at eventide
When laborers should be free?"
Il do not slave" the old man said
"And am always free;
Though 1 work from the time leave my bed
Till can hardly see"
"How much,' said the King, SIS thy gain in a day
Eight groschen," the man replied,
"And thou canst live on this meagre pay?
Like a king" he said with pride.
Two groschen for me and my wife, good friend,
And two for a debt owe;
Two groschen to lend, and two to spend,
For those who can't labor you know"
"The debt p said the King said the toiler, "Iea,
To my mother with age oppressed,
Who cared for me, toiled for me, many day,
And now hath need of rest"
"To whom dost lend OF thy dailry store92
ITO my boys-for their schooling; you see, -
When am too feeble to toll any more,
They will care for their mother and me-
"And thy last two groschen ?' the monarch said
"My sisters are old and lame;
give them two groschen for raiment and bread,
All in the Fathers name"
Tears welled up to the good Kings eyes
Thou knowest me not" said he;
"As thou hast given me one surprise,
Here is another for thee.
81 am the King; give me thy hand,"-
And he heaped it high with gold
when more thou needest, command
That at once be told.
"For I.would bless with rich reward
The man who proudly says
That eight souls doth he keep and guard
On eight poor groschen a day"

A standard rose, said to have been plant

riosities of the ancient city of Hildesheim,

and rugged, as becomes its extreme age,
and in some places the principal stem Is as
thick as mans body. 1t grows at the
eastern side of the apse of the cathedral,
and this year the venerable and venerated
object has put forth several new and thrifty
shoots. Fears have been entertained for a
long time past that, after its life of a thou
sand years, the plant was losing its vitality.
But now it is taking new lease of life,
and there is joy Hildesheim. The garden
