reSS OF q singer, as we were saying yes
terday. She is public character of
some kind, and has had adventures be-
fore this. She took a great fancy to
him, so he says, and believe him. But
it seems to have been somewhat as YOU
suggested: she liked him too well to
let him have his way. She wouldn't
risk a disillusionment; perhaps her
heart had never been touched before.
She would not marry him. either;
for that matter, I suppose the one
thing is about the same to her as
the other. But she did an odd thing
she offered to suspend her career, what
ever it is, and be with him as long as
he wished. And she appears to have
given up some important pecuniary ad-
vantage to do so. He accepted her offer,
thinking no doubt that she would capt.
ulate in due time, in the meanwhile
taking care that she should lose nothing
In the way Of money. He represented
himself to her as inexhaustibly wealthy,
and she took him at his word. But the
fact is, after he had spent hundred
thousand or so, and ruined his father
and sister, as he tells me, there was no
more left. He was ashamed to confess
this to her, and it is only within the last
few days, when he had got down to his
last fifty pound note, that she found it
out"
"And now she means to shake him-is
that it," said Bellingham,
"Well, apparently not. She seems to
have plenty of money herself, and she
has made him proposition which does
her credit. She has proposed to marry
him and pay back the money that he
has spent ON her. have begun to fall

Mr. Wallie Dinsmore had been in
dulging in good deal of casuistry of
late, owing to desire to reconcile his
theory that human beings ought TO help
one another with his temperamental
aversion to being mixed up in other peo-
pies affairs He might have eyaded the
difficulty by handing over the matter
which troubled him to Mrs. Cadwalader;
but that would only have been an ipdj-
rect way of forcing his own hand. He
smoked great number of cigars, seated
III his study chair, and incidentally tried
to stare his great white owl out of coun-
tenance; but he hesitatei still.
One morning while thus occupied he

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER IN THE MEAN

Hamilton Jocelyn had observed with
anxiety the progress of the acquaintance
between Bellingham and the prima
donna and was casting about in his mind
how to put a stop to it, when Belling
ham suddenly disappeared. He would
haze inferred that he must have pro-
posed to mademoiselle and been refused
had not the latter's aspect plainly
showed that she was suffering quite as
much as Bellingham could be supposed
to be. Jocelyn's acuteness was not of a
fine enough order to enable him to hit
upon the real explanation. But the cpl
sode also admonished him that it was
full time he himself took leading and a
winning hand in the game.
Accordingly Jocelyn insensibly began
to draw nearer to the object of his at
tentions. He talked to her great deal
about her profession, about the preroga-
tives of genius, and the peculiar priv
leges permitted to the artistic and es-
pecially to the musical temperament

ATTACKED BY A BUFFALO.
How Sir Samuel Baker Saved the
Life of Fellow Hunter.

How Sir Samuel Baker Saved the
Life of Fellow Hunter.
Sir Samuel w. Baker, in his latest book.
"Wild Beasts and Their Ways" narrates
an adventure which shows that hunters
life may depend upon his attention to
small details. Sir Samuel and Mr.. Dick
were shooting in Africa, when they saw a
solitary bull buffalo on the opposite side
of small creek. The bull was evidently
in stnte of great excitement, for as tho
hunters drew near the creek he faced
them, tore up the turf with his horns and
looked down the perpendicular hank,
twelve feet high, as though meditating
descent.
Dick, who carried little rife. o single
barrel, which shot o small spherical ball,
had by Sir Ssmuel's advice, doubled his
charge of powder,
Ann at the back of the neck if the
buffalo lowers his head. said Sir Samuel
to his companion, throwing q hard clod
of earth 30 that it fell into the water at
the foot OF the bank. The splash caused
the animal 10 look down. exposing his
neck. Dick fred. The bull convul-
siyely turned round and fell upon his
side.
The two men waded across the creek at
shallow place and ran to where the
PROSTATE animal was lying. apparently

bulls head. revelled in the delight of his
first buffalo.
Never stand at the head Of q buffalo,

Samuel, whose experience had taught
him TO be cautious. stand upon the

Scarcely had he uttered the words when
the bull sprang to his feet and blundered

not three feet distant. He jumped for.
ward to avoid the horns. but tripped and
fell upon his back right in the path OF the
savage bull.
As quick as lightning Sir Samuel drew
his long hunting knife and plunged il
behind the buffalo's shoulder. The animal
fell TO the blow. He had received his
death stroke.
If the hunting knife had not been tenn

point. the story would have had q tragica
