A GIRLS MISTAKE
By MRS. G. BIGG-WITHER.

while the colonel and Marcia seemed to have plenty to say to each other.
 "How lovely it looks out there, Sir Geoffry," said Carmen, pointing to the distant view, which the open doorway framed like an exquisite picture. A foun- tain was throwing up cool jets of water, that tossed and sparkled in the sunlight; round its old marble basin were soft green ferns and delicate mosses delight fully refreshing to the eye, while behind and beyond rose the sloping uplands, crowned with yellow cornfelds, now ripe for the harvest; indeed, it had al- ready commenced. The cloudless blue of the brilliant August day contrasted with the various tints of the just chang ing trees, to their rich autumn shades, except the oaks whose midsummer shoots still kept green and fresh. And over everything was that wonderful haze only seen in early autumn.
 "It does seem so restful, after our hot, dusty journey in those stuffy carriages, to drink ones tea in this cool, old place. 1 feel l have a right to be lazy"
 He looked down with fond approval at the graceful, careless young form; and it was with regret that he heard his sister presently say, as she came from the other end of the hall:
 ''If you are ready, Carmen, my dear, 1 will take you to your rooms, where you can refresh yourself at your leisure. We have yet three-quarters of an hour to dinner time. Herbert, shall leave you in Geoffry's hand"
 'I will take care of him, Marcia" said her brother, watching Carmen link her arm in that of his sister as she went up the broad old staircase at the far end of the hall, watched till the last glimpse of the white gown had floated from his sight.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-02

TiU the last glimpse of the ,ohite go,u1 had
 foated from his sight.
 "Massingbird, would you like to see the stables? We shall just have time before dinner"
 Nothing better"
 The two men walked away discussing the merits of certain horse which Sir Geoffry had lately purchased, and which he intended should be solely de- voted to Garments use.
 Before the first gong had sounded that young lady had found her way to the old drawing room, low pitched, roomy, redolent of lavender and dried rose leaves. Miss Estcourt Gin pretty ar engagement of gray silk and old lace) sat at the far end near an open window, and watched the tall, graceful figure in its soft, clinging primrose silk draperies. She thought she had never seen a more lovely picture in the dear old room, sacred to so many women of the house of Estcourt, than the one now advancing to meet her.
 "Ah, Carmen, you remind me so of your mother. You have her very way of walking. The only difference I can find is that you are fairer and taller"
 ''I remember her too, although I was such small child, and how she loved me; my pretty mother! Her Carmen cita,' she always called me! An, we'll! l wish she were here now"
 Marcia kissed her affectionately. "Dear," said she, ''you know you are your fathers hearts delight"
 "Yes, dear Miss Estcourt. We are everything to each other. He is so good, so indulgent."
 "Carmen, here come the gentlemen" |" as Sir Geoffry and the colonel were seen making their way through the long gal lery like drawing-room.
 "We are late, Marcia!"
 No, dear. The gong has not sounded yet"
 "There it is!' And the dinner was an nounced.
 What happy quartet they made, these four. To Marcia, the love of her youth was always a hero. To Carmen, Geoffry was very Bayard of chivalry, tender, loyal, true. Whether it was the fifteen or sixteen years between their ages, or what not, certainly Carmen idol ized him.
 In these days she entirely forgot she had ever been through ceremony of marriage with another man. It was so utterly a thing of the past, she deter mined to forget it, and really she was succeeding admirably. ''1 hope you ladies will bring us our luncheon tomorrow" "Most certainly we will" "Where do you begin, Geoff?" asked the colonel.
 ''In the Ladymead, by the stream "How many gunsT'
 "Six in all. Young Gay is one. He will stay here for few days. He comes tomorrow from Beauclere. You must have..met Julius Gay often in town, Miss Massingbird!"
 "Indeed, yes. I know two things about him: he is fond of quoting poetry and splendid at doing a play. Also, he is most kind hearted"
 ''Three things to his account, Carmen, 5 said her father.
 'True, papa! But women are not always logical or accurate" Accuracy is near enough" "You have apparently forgotten, Geof- fry, that Clara Gay accompanies her brother put in Miss Estcourt. "Upon my soul did," answered Sir Geoffry, with gay laugh. But the very expressive smile in his blue eyes, as they rested on the primrose

AN ELEPHANTS MEMORY.


Candy store.
A circus travelling through the
country parts Of England stopped one
day at little town called Hythe. That
night when every thing was quiet in
the tent. animals and employees all be-
ing sound asleep, Clytie, one of the
elephants, deliberately and without
any uproar broke the chain that fast
ened her foot and, leaving the tent,
started toward the center of the town.
Nobody was astir and 90 she had the
way all to herself.
She proceeded without delay or hesi-
tation to a little shop that stood on the
main street Of the village, and finding
it closed, of course, she immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was soon as busy an elephant
as you ever saw examining candy and
cakes down her capacious throat. The
man who owned the shop came run
ming in from the back room. but Clytie
did not pause in her lunch on that 90
count, nor did she pay any more at
tention when be ran out again crying
''Ow! Owr' In fact, she totally disre-
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took up that cry OF ''Ow! OWL
But pretty soon little man came up
who cried out in sharp voice:
Hi. there, Clytie! What dye meanP
Come out o. that now. dye hearP'
And Clytie did come out, and in q
great hurry, too, for the little man was
her keeper, and she not only had q
great deal of respect for him, but she
was afraid of him a. we'll. But, after
all. she didn't care much about it, for
she had filed hsrsef with candy and,
cakes. and that wac all she was aftor.
The moot puszliDg question was-
