LEO'S HEALTH.

Officially Denied that There is ANY
Occasion for Anxiety.
ROME, Dec. 26-It is officially an
nounced that there has been no change
in the health of the Pope that need
cause the slightest anxiety. His Holt
ness will be busy next week receiving
visitors. The Pope has had several con-
ferences with Signor Torniolo, professor
of social science at the University of
Pisa on the subject of founding an in
stituIe of economic science at Rome
with view to making it a center for
the propagation of the ideas developed
in the recent Papal encyclical on the
labor question.
The agitation in France oyer the re-
ligious question occasions great anxiety
at the Vatican. Cardinal Rampolla is
in daily correspondence with the Paris
Nuncio. The present crisis is consid-
sred to be one of the most critical
periods in the reign of Leo XIII so far
rs regards the position of the Catholic
Church in France. 1t is even affirmed
that the Vatican is trying to influence
Russia to put what pressure it can on
the French government in order to per-
suade it to modify it's attitude toward
the Church. The Pope is said to be
very much hurt at the attacks made on
the Church by radical speakers during
the de bates in the French Chambers,
but is still hopeful that an honora BILE
and satisfactory settlement may be ar
rived at.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 26. Bob Sims and
his desperate associates are more than

earth.
The wholesale slaughter of the Nc

by sheriff's posse.
The Governor has ordered the First
Regiment of State Troops to the aid of
the sheriff and they have left for the
scene of action.
The troops will have with them a
field piece for bonn bard ment as it is be-

ing downs 1t is district of babbling
waters, and fresh winds that come
blowing freely across the far-reaching
slopes; a vale of pleasant lights and
faint shadows, full of sweetness and
restful calm.
There are still some people living
here who have only seen the sea from
their hill-tops, and have never travelled
by railway in their lives. The Neon, a
busy little rivulet, goes running
brislzly all about the village, winding
here and hiding there, reappearing in
the most unexpected spots, and mixing
itself up in all the affairs of the place.
It turns thirteen mills, and NEEDLES
with the concerns of good many other
villages before it pours its restless tide
into the Solent at last.
The month was April, and the time
four o'clock on Sunday afternoon. A
young man and girl were standing
side by side, leaning against gate
which opened into a wide field. Be
yond the field rose a softly-rounded
hill, half grass and half woodlands; and
over all there was delicious rainy
blue of the spring sky. The pair stood
close together with their hands clasped;

warm welcome and did her utmost to
nurse her back to strength; but no
power on earth could stay the progress
of the disease. Lucy had not come
penniless to her aunt's cottage: she
was not q burden. She repaid Mrs.
Hooper's kindness with gratitude and
affection. and yet the good woman al
ways felt that there was mysterious
barrier between them. Like the neigh
bors, she was little afraid of Lucy.
There was only one person who had
ever stepped over the wall of reserve
that Lucy Cromer had built up around
her. Olive Winfield was her sole friend.
TWAS to her that Olive had first con-
fded the delightful news that Michael
Chase was coming to spend a Sunday
in the village; coming down from Lon
don on purpose to see his betrothed.
When Lucy pleased she could very
soon set people at their ease. In few
minutes Michael was answering all her
questions, and feeling hattered by the
interest which she displayed in his
affairs.
While she was drawing him on to
talk about himself (no difficult task),
he was admiring her more and more,
and thinking how she might have
helped a man to rise in the world.
With that quiet self-possession and
natural grace, what an admirable wife
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-12-26

she could have been! He was glad that
Olive had found such companion; and
Lucy's affection for Olive was evidently
real and earnest. When Mrs. Hooper
came in and busted herself at the tea
table, she did not disturb the harmony
of the hour. She was a woman of few
words, and although Michael was an
Eastmeon boy and she had known him
from babyhood, she did not harass him
with those recollections of old days
which he so much disliked.
On the whole it was a happy tea
drinking, and Michael was in high
good humor when he rose to go. Olive
went with him little way. He had to
walk five miles to Petersfeld railway
| station; but the evening was fresh and
sweet, and every bit of the old road was
well known to him.
The lovers stood still in the pleasant
lane between the budding hedges and
| said good-by. He looked down into
the strong brown light of her eyes, and
felt that he loved her better than any
girl he had ever seen in his life; and he
| was contented with her firm belief in
him. The wind stirred few curly
brown locks that had escaped from
their pins and he smoothed them with
a tender hand. She was so lovely and
fresh and trustful that he would have
given anything, just then, to have car
ried her back to London to brighten his
Woodworking life there.
"Good-by, dearest Olive" he said.
81 wish there could be no more parting.
But you know am working for you.
Good-by, darling, once more.''
This was one of those moments
which live on through a lifetime.
Olive feasted on that farewell for many
a day afterwards. For a few seconds
she stood where he had left her, and
then turned homewards, half happy
and half sad. Some birds were flying
across the sky; there was faint tinkle
of sheep-bells from the downs, and the
peace of the Sabbath evening seemed to
soothe and still her heart.

the man was talking, and the girl was
watching him while he talked, and
drinking in every word with eager de-
light.
She was lovely girl, and her lowell
ness was of that rare kind which can
flourish in any atmosphere without
losing its natural refinement. Hers
was an oval face with delicately-chis-
eled features, and a mouth with soft
red lips exquisitely cut, lips that were
at once passionate and PROUD, but al
ways tender. Her skin Lad that warm
undertone of clear brown which gives a
fuller richness to any beauty. But,
perhaps, it was in the large limpid brown
eyes that the chief charm was found;
and there was something so true and
trustful in their gaze that most men
would have forgotten to talk and looked
deep into their brown depths. Nothing,
however, had ever been known TO stay
the tide of Michael Chase's eloquence
when he had once begun to hold forth on
his favorite theme-his own plans and
his admirable self.
He was Olive Winfeld's acknowledged
lover, and she was proud of him. Not
only did she love him as truly as ever
woman loved man; but she looked up,
on him as the chiefcst among ten thou.
sand men. He had toiled night and
day to acquire knowledge, and when it
was won he had turned it to good ac-
count. He had not studied for the
mere love of study: he was no dreamer,
delighting to tarry in quiet world of
books and thoughts. To him learning
was stepping stone, and already it
had raised him to the post of CORE
spending clerk in Battersby's Office.
And Battersby's firm was a good firm
and ranked high even in London. But
his brains would have done little for
him if they had not been backed up by
his unconquerable pluck and determi-
nation.
He had said all this hundred times
, in his letters, and he was saying it again
to-day. The pair had only one more
hour to spend together, and he was fill
ing every precious minute with tall
about himself. But a woman will
cheerfully tolerate any amount of ego
tism in the man she loves; and Oliv'
drank in every word. In front of then
lay the calm field and the hills; sof
lights were shining on the green ant
finding out the hollows where tn
primrose stars had opened; birds wer
singing, and fresh yet gentle breez
was blowing into their faces as the.
stood leaning against the gate. Ye
Michael, absorbed in himself, was IN
conscious of all this sweetness.
At last he paused for want of breath
and then Olive seized the opportunit
to ask question.

my sake. Try to see him with nv ewes
and feel for him with my heart
Lucy smoothed the brown hair away
from the young face and soothed her
with loving words, as though she had
been little child. This woman, who
was going out of the world, pitied the
other, who had to tread the old, thorny
path. She had been left upon the road
alone; some had fastened on before.
some had loitered and stayed behind;
the hand that had clasped hers had sud-
denly 1oosed its hold, and then she had
stumbled blindly on in utter anguish
and desolation; but that misery, too,
had passed away. AL that remained to
her now was peace; the end was near;
the tired feet had only little way
farther to go.
She would not paint blissful picture
of Olives future and so fill the girls
mind with false hopes; nor would she
even promise to love Michael for her
sake. And yet she talked in such a
fashion that Olive forgot her dissatis-
faction-a dissatisfaction which owed
it's origin more to Michael himself than
to Lucy's lukewarm praise of him. She
spoke of the right way of living ones
lie; OF SympaCn1eS JhaG throw out
tendrils and clasp other lives; of that
unspeakable calm which comes to those
who are true and who love truth, even
if their hearts are torn with suffering.
And Olive, hearing her friend speak,
seemed no longer afraid of anything.
She took Lucy's hand and looked at her
with grateful eyes.
81 shall never forget your Words"
she said. "You have made me feel
strong"

'po you LOVE nIM, BECAUSE I Do"

DO YOU LOVE Him, BECAUSE Do"
"What do you think of him2'' said
Olive, looking UP at Lucy Cromer,
with a bright eager face.
The elder girl was lying on the
couch, and the younger sat on stool
by her side. They were alone together
in the little room, and the evening
light, shining through the small panes
imbedded in lead-work, rested soft
ly on Lucy's worn features and
Olives nut-brown head. The day was
ending in golden calm; out-of-doors the
patches of velvet moss still held the
rain-drops, and the red blossoms of the
Towering currant sparkled with mois-
ture; but the wind had died away, and
there was great peace.
Lucy looked down with one of her
faint smiles, and laid her thin hand on
her friends shoulder.
81 think he is most fortunate man.
she said. But this answer did not
please Olive at all.
ooh, Lucy" she began in a disap-
pointed tone-''is that all you have to
1 say? Why, everyone else seems to
| think that the good fortune is on my
side
do they?" Lucys delicate lip
curled slightly. "That is because they
have not seen many men. 1 wish
could teach you to set a higher value on
| yourself, little one."
There was look of trouble in the

| pause and sigh.

through the dusk to the great city. She
almost started when Lucy spoke again.
What words were these her friend was
saying?
EWhen you are in London, Olive, you
will be glad. that you once had home
in the country. You must not let any
thing come between you and your
sweet memories. You must not drop
your habit of watching the clouds and
the changing lights and shades, even
when you have lost your old green
fields. Don't take the world into your
soul.
THE world is too much with US; late and soon.

1t is often SO with those who go to
