You are young life is sweet to
you ; it was noble in you to risk
yours tor me, Mr.. King.
! Fane's heart swelled so that he
hardly knew what was the matter
with him. But, somehow, the friend
ly clasp cf Alice Payson's light
hand and the gaze of her sweet eyes
affected him as no hand or eyes had
ever affected him before.
The ice once broken, a bevy OF
gentlemen stIove tor the attention
of the cousins. Paul Hanover was
foremost.
He was very handsome, fair, bril-
liant, graceful. He was not poor
either. Fame remembered that bit
terly as he saw him stroll'ng with
Alice on the beach or driving for
her the little pony carriage. His
own peace and comfort seemed sud
denly gone. Miss Payson's gentle
friendliness only made him worse.
He was startled one day is if shot
by Hanover, remarking
If you're not altogether gone with
the blues, Fame. I'd like YOU to con
graduate fellow.
Have you won your bet on the
troting match?
Pshaw ! hang trottine matches !!
Don't be stupid, Fame. Haven't |
been riding with Miss Payson?
We'll?
Well it is, pirouetting around the
room and snarping his fingers like
castanets. I'm the fond betrothed
of a lovely girl, alter tie latest
novel. Now, what have YOU to say,
my respectable, moping lriend'
Fame tried hard to maintain HIM
self and not betray his secret.
Alice Payson S too good for you,
Paul, ne c:.swered, with an attempt
at being sage and composed, in
which he succeeded but tolerabIy.
Certainly not. The moneys very
well, but that defect OF her's-it's a
delicate subject, but really couldn't f
marry a girl with a Disagreement
like that.
You mean that you are engaged
to Maud? asked Fame, hardly be-
lieving his ears.
Exactly.
Why, congratulate you, W tn all
my heart! jumping up excitedly.
They are going awav to morrow.
Dont't you want to see them again ?
Fame went down upon the piazza
where the ladies sat unreasonably
happy.

when he approached Alice Payson
to say good-by. Paul was talking
to Maud, saucy and beautiful in her
Jockey hat as Fame found his way to

injured while attempting to stop an omni-

An Ancient Bell.

One of the most remarkable historic
relics in Rhode Island is the bell on the
Butterfly factory near the village ol
Saylesville- Around the bell, about foul
inches from the crown, is this super
scription: "Peter Secest, Amsterdam,
Ammo 1868, M. E. Fecit. 1t is thus set
forth that Peter Secest made this bell
in Amsterdam in the year 1868. The
figures carved on the bell, together with
other we'll authenticated facts, lead te
the belief that this bell was long used
on a convent in England, and was Sc.
uuestered during the reformation. 1t il
also a part of its history that it was used
in the English Navy on the ship Guer.
riere, which was captured by the United
States ship Constitution, August l9,
1872. The bell was subsequently sold
by the United States authorities with 8
lot of captured stores, and thus came
through the hands of the late Stephen
II. Smith to its present place in the
Butterfly factory.-Pawtalcket 1rl6'
