seemed to have developed a sudden

And perhaps he does" said the old
gentleman serenely, at the same time
he thought a keen, forbidding thought
concerning the mar he felt had cast a
slur toward his favorite nephew.
Rejecting on the subject later in the
solitude of his chamber, Uncle Erastus

OF a relative of mine who would go

there is no danger that a Wise would

At moo Mr.. Archibald Wise was
emerging from the newspaper Office
when he met his uncle Just going in.
In eager, sincere terms, the nephew
began to explain his absence the night
before.

his uncle, glancing at the ample sheet
in his nephew's hands.

"Aud I'm going in TO renew mine;

She Was No Detriment.

The clever writer of "Wodertones"
for the San Francisco Chronicle tells a
good many good stories, of which the
following is one: He was a humble
newspaper man. You have heard of
writing against time, how hard it is.
1t is not half so hard as writing against
space. He was n humble slave of the
pencil and brown paper, toiling along
the rocky road that leads to the editorial
desk. when there came an angel N
gladden. his heart and brighten his
path. He used to do the courting be-
tween sentences and snatch a long kiss
between the paragraphs. To court
and write for the newspapers at
and the same moment is one of those
supernatural feats only possible to true
and enthusiastic love. But she was
not n of your namby pamby girls,
who sigh ''Oh, GEORGE" and interrupt
your work By telling you how sorry
they are; not 8 bit of it. He hadn't
much money. She had not much
either. 1t was their object TO get mar
ried. 1t was necessary to make money.
She could not write, but she was a no.
BILE girl. She Gid not waste her sweet
hearts time LiIIing and cooling. He
sat writing as lard as he could and
she, the ANGEL can see a harp with
her initials on It now-she sat by his
side. He was = space writer, aud she
sat by him while he scrubbed, bunting
through the dictionary for all the big
gest possible words to give thnm to
him to put In tor small ones.

Autumn.

With shy brown eyes she comes again,
With hair a sunny, silken skein,
AS full of light as golden rod;
Love in her voice, love in her nod,
h treads so softly no one knows
The time she comes, the time she goes.
The grass is brown, the leaves begin
Their golden crimson dyes to win,
Each cricket sings as loud as ten
To drown the noisy locust, when
You come, o maid, to bid us cry
To summer sweet a long good by.
And when you go the leaves are gone
The aster's farewell scent is flown.
Poor Cupid puts away his wings,
And close to cosy corners clings.
The rude winds usher with IA shout
The winter in, the autumn out.
There's sadness in her shy brown eyes,
Though gay her gown with tawny dyes
Loves in her voice-but telling most
OF ono who's loved, but loved and lost,
She trcads so softly no one knows,
The time she comes, the time she goes.

Or the stately and fragrant lilies

But how soon the lily and the rose wither
In tie faces OF our American women. Why

victims of weaknesses, Irregularities and
