name, behind them, was any thing but q
cheerful companion.
How Phil did wish that he had been
able TO spring from the foundered horse,
ell the time having a full cognizance
OF what allied him-have whipped out his
knife and bled him, and administered the
whisky, all without word from Judith.
And how he fumed over that idiotic speech
about Trumpeter's heart. He thought
Judith must have contempt for him.
And, to tell the truth, she did. She
blushed to think that some OF the neigh
bors might have been with them, and
heard her Cousins remarks, and seen the
helpless way in which he stood about,
while she righted things as best she could.
Her eyes were still good deal more red
than brown whenever she allowed her
thoughts to dwell upon him.
That night, as he came into the drawing
room, just before dinner, he found Judith
In the arms Of a slim young man in a very
elaborate costume-or rather, If the truth
must be told, the slim young man was in
the arms of Judith, who appeared to be al
ternately laughing and wiping her eyes as
best she could on the lapel of his coat.
AS Boughton came IN, however, she
stood erect, and put up her hand to her
curls, which were good deal rumpled.
Her eyes were brown as rain-washed
autumn leaves now. No red In them what

Boughton, gravely.

he did not laugh, neither did Judith. She
scratched the chin Of the black kitten in the
Toby-collar, and looked graveIy at Bough-
ton between its ears.
''Oh, see" said the boy, finally. "Been

He leaned over and put his arm about her
as she lay, and then as she did not pull
away or demonstrate verbally, he ventured
to rest his other hand on the red-brown
curls. Something In their soft, almost
living clasp upon his fingers went through
his veins strangely.
"Judith," he said, in voice that he did
not himself quite recognize. Then he
cleared his throat and said it over again
"Judith," and then ''darlingr'
That aroused Judith better than sal
volatile or a pail of ice water would have
done. She sat up, and little away from
him, and said:
"There comes Priddie-and Dick"
Priddie, armed with pitchfork, was run
ming with all his might, and Dick in the far
background, was running also, but with very
little Of his. He had made at least thrice
the time when he went for Priddie.
Then the bull was secured, and marched
of meekly, with prong of the pitchfsrk
through the ring Of his nose, and the
whilom pedestrians also betook themselves
1iQnerward.

that the Burlington route Is stin the favor

that over this line runs The famous solid

Ornaments For Millinery.

High coloring in millinery is further
enlivened by conspicuous ornaments in
most novel and unique designs. First
of all are antique Grecian buckles and
war-like weapons of various shapes and
sizes, set with gems that are in all tints
and more or less valuable. There are
handsome jeweled pins and old Roman
coins and medals, linked together with
glittering paste clasps, to say nothing
of jeweled butterflies and dragon-fies
and tiny eptiles-designss familiar to
all, but appearing anew in real gold and
silver fligree, enamel, French gold, cop

Mr.. Arthur came from England to
be ordained by Bishop Patteson, when
the headquarters of the mission were at
Kohimarama, a few miles from Auck-
land, on the coast of the land-locked
harbor. Soon after his arrival in Auck-
land, he hired boat to take him to the
mission-station; there, to his surprise,
he found no wharf, no imposing row Of
buildings, no pier, and he had to wait
in the boat until some one could be got
to carry him ashore through the water.
In response to his shouts, man, in a
flannel shirt and trousers, waded out at
last from the shore and gave back"
to the newcomer, landing him dry on
the beach. In answer to inquiries for

Stanley Entertained by the Enin Relief
Committee In London.
LONDON, May 3.-Mr. Stanley was on
tertained at reception last night by
the Emin Relief Committee.
The Prince of Wales presided. Among
those present were the Princess Of
Wales and her daughter, Princess Vic
torla, the Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh, Prince Christian. Princess Albert
Victor and George of Wales, tho Duke
Of Fife, the Lord Mayor and q host of
other notable persons.
The Prince of Wales welcomed Mr..
Stanley in the name of the people Of
England whom, he said, were glad to
accord their hearty greeting to the IL
lustrious traveller.
Mr.. Stanley essayed to speak, but his
voice was drowned for several minutes
by the cheers of the company. When
quiet was restored he said his position
was difficult one in addressing those
assembled, the committee hampering
his freedom in regard to what he should
say. He defended the route he had
chosen and paid high tribute to the de-
votion and courage of his associates,
of whom he could have dispensed with
mono. When Emin was relieved for the
second time, he said, his so-called sub
jects had revolted against him four
times. Relief therefore came at . very
sritoal period.

THE action Of the Massachusetts, rail-
road commissioners in refusing the New
York and New England company, Mon
day, the right to build from Norwood to
Walpole and at the same time granting
the Old Colony the right to build from
Walpole through Norwood to Dedham,
is reminder that year or two ago the
commissioners similarly refused the
New England the right to build from
Adamsdale to Walpole, but granted the
Old Colony the privilege Of extending
from North Attleboro to Walpole. The
Massachusetts, com missioners do not ap-
pear to be acting on the ground that
"tnrn about Is fair play" This body
has the reputation of being impartial as
between individuals and corporations,
and as between corporations, and has
not gained it by perpetually siding with
one company. The New England seems
ready to compete with a rival corpora
ton, but when it is compelled to fight a
rival railroad and the railroad commits
sioners at the same time it will have to
buckle on its armor.

MRS. VhndorHrtft'a Defcnco bringing Pub
Ito Favor on Her Side.
Mt. HOLLY. N. j., May 3.-In the trial
of Mrs. Vandergrift, Prof. o. G. Wood
of the University of Pennsylvania,
testified that Norman's symptoms could
have been produced by gastro-intestinal
catarrh as we'll as by an irritant poison.
He said DR.. Hulrs treatment was all
wrong, and doubtless made the boy
worse.
Prof. VIM. Pepper of the same insti-
tuition gave similar testimony.
Young Norman was recalled and tes-
titled that one night during his illness
the doctors gave him up, saying he
could not live twenty-four hours, but
after they left he went down stslrs and
ate q hearty meal. He afterwards
wrote a letter to the doctors thanking
them for their opinion.
The testimony for the defence thus
far has been very strong, and public
opinion is less severe against Mrs. Van
dergrift than it was.
