ible desire TO hear Ethel talk once
moro. In mnttcr-of- fact tone asked
her how it was she came to Clifton SO
late, and why il was that no one was
there to meet her. In cool, dcIibcr-
ate manner she informed me that she
had been on visit to her aunt in New
York, and had missed an earlier trnin.
Thinking that there would be plenty

were both silent, and we heard moth

silence was terrible to me- NV anguish

but there was no encouragement there.
She sat with her beautiful face close

portunity to tell Ethel Linton of my

and / was neglecting it. She could
not put me off with any trivial excuse
now but would be compelled to listen
to me. What would it matter if she
did say no? I was going away anyway
ana would nave the satisfaction of
knowing that my love was not returned
and possibly this would enable me To
forget her. My mind was fully made
up and the very thought gave me
courage. Just then we reached bad
portion of the road and the cab gave
lurch. Ethel gave little scream and
as the side of the carriage she was on

A Pigeon Decides a Law Case.

A novel decision was rendered by JUS
ticc Miller, of Youngstown, Ohio, in
suit before him, between John p. Kirby
and John Scott, each claiming the own
crsbip to certain carrier pigeon, which
was brought into court in charge of an
officer. Justice Miller, in order TO settle
the ownership beyond question, ordered
the pigeon placed in the hands of two dis
interested persons, who took it four miles
south of the city and released it. After
it had started, two chasers were sent up
by Kirby, and Scott followed suit by re-
leasing another pigeon. The pigeon in
controversy flew straight to the residence
of Scott, and, according 60 the decision
of Justice Miller, is nov Scotts property.
