The Helena Journal says that Ito

necessary to state that conservative bus

real estate in Chicago has already ad-

BROWNING'S MARRIAGE.
It Was a Runaway Match and Celebrated
In q Clandestine Manner.

It Was a Runaway Match and Celebrated
In q Clandestine Manner.
Browring's marriage with Miss Eliz-
abeth Barrett was q romantic affair,
originating in poetical sympathy and
resulting, for both lovers. in life OF
almost ideal serenity and happiness.
Miss Barrett was thirty-seven years OF
age, an invalid, with little or no hope
of recovery. The marriage was opposed
by her father, and was at last celebrated
clandestincly. Miss Milford writes OF
it: cit was runaway match. Never
was so much astonished. He prevailed
on her to meet him at church with only
the two necessary witnesses. They
went by rail to Southampton, crossed
to Havre, up the Seine to Rouen, to
Paris by railway. There they staid
week. Happening to meet with Mrs.
Jameson, she joined them in their jour
ney to Pisa, and accordingly they tray
eled by diligence, by railway, by Rhone
botany how-to Marseilles; thence
took shipping to Leghorn, and then set
tied at Pisa for six months" The new
happiness, the new life, the new climate
called the sufferer back from the gates
of death, and the Brownings spent fif-
teen bright years together in Italy in
the closest union, both domestic and in
tellectual They were singularly alike
in their cast of mind, and although they
stimulated each others literary activ-
ity, the question has been raised just
how far the mutual influence was of
benefit to the poetical faculty in either
The richest period of Mrs. Browning's
life lies within the ten years after mar
riage, which produced 'Casa Guidi Win
dows," the ''Sonnets from the Portu-
guese." and aurora Leigh" But she
lived to copy great deal of her hus-
bands roughress and contempt for the
art OF expression. Her love poetry as
sumed a more contagious fervor, and
that of Mr.. Browning became perhaps
more passionate, more spontaneous and
more exalted. Browning's estimate,
however. of the claims of love as the
arbiter of life and conduct was always
excessive, and it certainly was not ex-
aggerated by his beautiful devotion to
the wife who inspired many of his
noblest and purest lines. Upon the
whole, it seems that whatever faults
husband and wife may have learned
from each other were far unbalanced
by other influences which sprang from
this memorable union.-Boston Tran
script.

CHAPTER VII.

At length the last platform, or ter
race, was reached, and we pulled up out
side the wall surrounding the central
group of marble huts-for SO I must call
them for want Of a better name. Our
approach had been observed by crowd
of natives, whose race have never been
able to determine accurately; they be-
longed to the Basutu and peaceful Sec
ton of the Bantu peoples rather than to
the Zulu and warlike. Several of these
ran up to take the horses, gazing on US

father" she said. 81 wonder what he

HendriAa, take the child to my hut and
give her milk, then put her into my bed;
l will come presently"
Hendrika went off with a somewhat
ugly grin to do her mistress bidding,
and Stella led the way through the mar
row gateway in the marble wall, which
may have inclosed nearly half an ''erf,"
or three-quarters of an acre of ground In
all. 1t was beautifully planted as gar
den, many European vegetables and
flowers were growing in it, besides 9TH
ers with which l was not acquainted.
Presently we came to the center hut,
and it was then that noticed the extra
ordinary beauty and finish of the mar
BILE masonry. In the hut, and facing the
gateway, was modern door, rather
rudely fashioned of Bucken pont, a
beautiful reddish wood that has the ap-
pearance of having been sedulously
pricked with pin. Stella opened it, and
we entered. The interior CT the hut was
the size of large and lofty room, the
walls being formed of plain polished
marble. 1t was lighted somewhat dim
~, but quite effectively, by peculiar
openings in the roof, from which the
rain was excluded by overhanging caves.
The marble floor was strewn with ma
tive mats and skins of animals. Book
cases filled with books were placed
against the walls, there was table in
the center, chairs seated with rimpi or
strips of hide stood about, and beyond
the table was a couch on which a man
was lying reading.

THE WISH-BONE.

They were dining-he and She
Chattering necessarily;
When the waiter, old and tried,
Brought them Chicken nicely fried.
Grand it was to see her wade
Thro' her portion with white teeth;
Teeth that cut like blade
To the wish bone underneath.

Whispered: make q wish with me"
Certainly WILL" said he.
Both q moment silent thought.
Then he on the wish-bone caught
Now the tug of war began
Tween the damsel and the man,
Till at last it snapped in twain
She had won 1t, that was plain.
"Tell me what you wished" said she.
That you might my darling be
Thro' all sorrow, strife and care
My existence you might share.
Was your wish like that at allT'
No; she answered, you might call
Mine a vain one. It was this:
That may yet know the bliss
OF satin pearl trimmed dress
Unexcelled in ioveliness.
Happy are these wishers two,
What each wanted has come true;
He has won the damsel fair,
She the gorgeous gown doth wear.
A moral has this tale, my friend,
That he who gets the shortest end
May also get at last what he
Has wished for most tremendously.

ever, and it was not till the old man was
killed with an assegai that they ran
away.
''Well, there is little hut in the
kraal at the stead where my father
sometimes shuts up natives who have
misbehaved. 1t is very strong, and has,
a barred window. To this hut Hendrix
carried the sack, and, having united the
mouth, put it down on the floor and ran
from the place, shutting the door behind
him. In another moment the poor lit

there, and beat its head against them
till the blood came. Then it fell to the
floor, and sat there crying like a child,
and rocking itself backward and for

gan to cry, too.
''Just then my father came in and
asked me what all the fuss was about.
i told him that we had caught young
white baboon, and he was angry, and
said that it must be let GO. But when
he looked at it through the bars of the
