THE NOTE AMONG FLOWERS.
Once possessed of this document, Mrs.
Ferguson became poetic, resolving that

of flowers. buried in roses and smOth-

The basket was marvel of beauty
when Mary, Miss EngIish's maid
brought it to her room.
mrs. Ferguson left it, miss. and had
not time to call. She did not get out of
her carriage"
Now Bertha had her dreams. too.
whereof the hero possessed Charles
barker's velvety brown eyes. his wav-
ing brown hair and Vaniyke beard, his
classic features and low, musical voice.
HPiress as she was, cOurted. tiattered
and petted. she had a pure, girlish
heart, full of romance and tenderness,
and she had given it in its fist sweet
ness to Charles Barker. Loving him,
she. too, had visions of day when he
would whisper his hearts secret into
her ear and. in soft, tender accents.

She looked carelessly at the flowers;

than could arrange"
Mary obeyed and Bertha took up the
thread of her musings.
"Deary mel" old Mrs. Worth said.
"Miss Bertha is veIy kind. Thank her
for me, Mary"
Then she, too, fell to admiring the
flowers, until she suddenly remembered
that it was her sons birthday. What
could she give him that would delight
him more than these pretty floral treas
ures? She put her card and a line
with mothers love and birthday

heap. and sent the basket to John

man found his present. without the
card. which had slipped off. The land

Luxurious travelling.

The progress in railroad construction
is not more marked in any direction
than that which pertains to the safety
and comfort of passengers. What is
more wonderful than the present
method. under which travellers find as
many cOnvenienceS and as much conf
fort on railroad trains as i'm their homes?
The Northern Pacific Railroad has al
ways been among the first to adopt i'm
prOvementS in train service, and their
Vestibule Trains, consisting of elegant
Pullman Sleepers and Day Coaches. are
models of excellence. Nothing could
be more enjoyable than trip over this
line, passing as it does through the
grandest section of the West.

New York Ledger.
More than any other. the especial gift
upon which Mrs. ferguson prided her
self was her talent for matchmaking.
Her large, spacious house was full of
coy corners and tiny hooks, curtained.
carpeted and daintily furnished, where
a tete-a-tete was luxury not TO be de-
spiSPd. She was a positive genius for
effacing herself and all other superflu-
Gus people when John and Jane were to
be brought to understand each other,
and she was constantly on the watch for
Johns and James to benefit.
1t cannot he denied that Willstown,
like the proverbIal republics. often
proved ungrateful, the wrong Johns
being frequently paired with the James
of their special adherence, and it had
been more than once whispered by dis
appointed wooers that they wished
Mrs. Ferguson would mind her own
business"
But nothing would ever convince that
benevolent old lady that if marriages
were started in heaven she was not a
special agent upon earth to forward
them.
IL may, therefore, be imagined what
thorn in the flesh" il was to this
scheming lady to have under her own
roof daily at her table nephew who at
the mature age of twenty-eight was, in
spite of her ceaSeless endeavors q had
almost written persecution. still a
bachelor

never. never have the courage to WOO
his wife, and it is my positive duty to
help him."
But the more persistently she drove
him into her contest hooks and corners
with the prettiest girls in WiIlstown
the more he avoided her parties, be they
luncheOns, teas or evening gatherings.
THE MATCHMAKER'S VICTIM.
1t was not entirely the fault of the
pretty girls either, for Charles Barker
was man to whom woman naturally
incIine-gentle, dreamy, poetic and eX-
ceptiUnally handsome. Had he lived in
the present age for the esthetic, he
might have been accused of affectations,
of posing for admiration; but it was
with him a sincere alteration of art, a
dreaming poetic temperament, that
could lift itself out of the commonplace
surroundings of his life and dwell in an
ideal world apart.

The basket, duly delivered to Miss
jennie RalstOn, was for the first time
thoroughly examined.
Tea was over and Bertha English was
in her pretty drawing room alone, sing
ing sweet melodies by twilight, hoping
little that Charles Barker might call,
when there was rush. and f1utter,
and she was caught in an embrace that
dealt destruction to her pretty ruff1es
and laces.
