THE AGONY OF "MR. wINKs. :"

At the time of Toto Antrobus' mar

ton society had been pretty we'll kept
agog by the various reports which eman
ated from the River house concerning the
great event. Such a wonderful marriage
had never before taken place within the
memory of man and the stream of grand
ideas which was let loose on the world in
general by each and every member of the
Antrobus family. had been really so gor,
geous, so grand. so out of the common,
that people began to think there was
something in this talk OF Russian brida,
tours, continental travel. Mediterranean
yachting. town houses. saddle horses,
riding habits and the like.
But all their grand expectations had re
solved themselves into a trip to London to

So now it was no longer the custom of the
Antrobuses to speak of Mrs. Herrick

CHAPTER VII.
A SWISS FAIR.

Miss Earle was still visitor at the
Deanery. and was to remain yet another
week in order that she might take part in
a bazaar for which the ladies of every
age and. grade in the neighborhood had
been working for many a month past.
She had enjoyed her visit far more than
she usually enjoyed visits of any kind
and in spite of the season of real hard
grinding work under which every Officer
and man in the garrison was then groan
ing. she had seen good deal of that lieu
tenant of the Blankshire regiment, who
in common, went by the name of Beautiful
Jim The mole she saw of him the better
she liked him. while Beautiful Jim was
on his part. as he graphically put it, so
dead broke in the way of spoons that he
could not possibly be any broker. !"
This bazaar was to be an unusually
smart affair, 1t was in aid of the funds
of the City hospital and, as the dean was
president of the committee. was to be
held in the grounds at the back of the
Deanery and residence These were both
large and spacious gardens, divided only
by park railing and a wicket gate.
Then not only was it to be a bazaar but
also a mask of flowers and a pastoral play
The bazaar in the guise OF Swiss fair,
was to be held in one garden and the mask
and pastoral was to be given in the other
And it was really wonderful how this
Deanery garden had been transformed
more than twenty chalets had sprung into
existence in various parts of it, a row with
open fronts being the bazaar proper. and
Others scattered here and there for such
purposes as fortune telling. refreshments,

A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
Curious History of n Remnant of the Hebrew
Nation in India.

Nation in India.
Scottish Americana
Among the many scattered remnants of
nations in India there are few more inter-
esting than the Beni-Israel of the Bombay
side. The Beni-Israel do not belong to the
lost tribes, nor have they any mysterious
connection with the Great Pyramid. Their
own legends aver that centuries ago their
forefathers, flying by sea from country in
the north, were shipwrecked near Kenery
Island, and the survivors, seven families,
took refuge at Navgoan, homeless, penniless,
among strangers, and without the books of
their law. The date of this hegira is esti-
mated from !, 900 to 1000 years ago.
Since that date the little colony of IA
souls has grown into dispersed community
of 10, 900, not unlike the ordinary Konkan
peasantry, but religiously observing the
Jewish Sabbath and whatever they can re-
member of the Mosaical law. They have
been hewers of wood and drawers of water
TO whatever king chanced to reign; but
they are as much Hebrews to-day as they
were two centuries before Christ.
