take to-
"Windward, l am not a match for
your sister, even if she wanted me, and
l have no reason to suppose that she
wants me. Very good-or very bad. So
matters stood last week, and had not
some important changes come about,
like a miraclefrom heaven, within few
days, don't suppose I should have
opened my mouth on this matter to man.
1 should have quietly gone my way and
died and made no sign, content with the
negative merit of making no trouble and
spelling no fun for others. But few
days ago fortune, or 1 will say Provi-
dence, threw me into close and peculiar
relations, as you know, with a very pow
erful man. think my chance has come.
I have caught up little of my old cOur-
age and vigor at any rate; one can't
help it in his presence. Well, think
he likes me and means to give me a lift.
And as 1 said would be wholly frank
with you, have told him all about this
matter and 1 find he is interested. l
needn't say he thought your sister very
lovely, and he tells me to try to win her.
And perhaps-I have dreamt it anyhow,
maybe I'm craZy-perhapS If 1 got to be
rich and great, and leader of men,
could show manly qualities and have
something to bring her worth takingy'
He stopped, and looked down, and
awaited the word of doom.
"My dear FRIEND" said Windward
tenderly, there, my good fellow, is my
hand. only wish it was Floy's. l am,
as you say, little surprised at what
you have said, certainly at the depth
of your feelings. Evidently it is a seri-
Gus matter with you, and hope you
may get her You shall have my help;
so much promise YOU"
THANK you, Windward," said Stevens
huskily. II thank you from the bottom
of my heart. And now must ask,
Nothing else is settled, them"
"You mean
"She loves no one else, favors no one?"
'Not that know of" said Windward,
and as he spoke Clara's question came
into his mind, and with it the recollec-
ton of the scene in the parking, and he
suddenly changed color. Stevens, all
eyes with excitement, noticed the signal
of danger, and q knife went through his
soul.
"And you would be likely to know

"Why, yes" replied Windward. 81
am not only her brother, but her guard
ian, and the head of the house. 1 should
naturally know of anything of the kind,
for Floy is not one of the secret sort, and
mother would be apt of course to know,
too, and she would come to me about a
thing like that, l suppose"

awkward pause.
yes" said Windvard finally, clear
ing his throat, "the claims will get
along just as well without me. There is
your uncle, who knows all about them
and about congress, and there is the
agent, an extraordinary man, Miss Shelf
field, an invalid, but dauntless being,
who fights from his bed and says he
shall not die till the claims are passed"
"Indeedr' exclaimed Louise. Il should
like to know him. Bedridden, do you
say? Almost? Could do any thing for
him? He must be an interesting char
acter."

end of pluck, and personally he is very
agreeable and winsome."
II would like to know" said Louise.
II think now I've heard my uncle speak
Of him. Suppose we call on him some
day, and cheer him up with flowers and
so forth. That would be helping, I'm
sure"

agency"
That will suit me; but you are not

Don't tell anybody about that" she
said, shaking her finger at him, and add

"Oh, of course not, said Windward.
But if you think best you can mention
the-the-well, that got the mitten, to
your uncle. 1 suppose no might as well
know it first as last"

her hand. How kind and gracious and

the old fashioned times were back again,
SO he might lift the rosy fingers to his
lips. Good day" he said, pressing
them gently instead, and then set out
with light heart for home.
One thing seemed to disturb him, how
ever, and it was not LESS Willis. Il

AntwerD's Ancient Prison in Which Awful
Deeds We're Done.
Tourists who land from steamships
at Antwerp, the quaint Flemish capital,
pass by the Steen prison on their way
to the hotel. This historical cdifice is
believed to have existed from the
foundation of the burgh. In other
words, it is nearly thirteen centuries
old. 1t was the seat OF the inquisition
in Flanders and more than seventy-five
thousand lives were sacrificed in agony
and shui-e within its subterraneaD
chambers.

upon which the victim was bound while
the soles of his feet were burned with

Just beyond stood a vat wherein GER
