Charles Remont. They had never
met since, and to meet thus, was
sufficiently awkward for them both, as
may be supposed.
at is like fate" said the judge,
keeping his eyes fixed upon her burn
ing face. 81 went away from my home
to try to forget you, Jessy, and I've
not been able to do it. Twas thinking
of you only few moments ago."
"Were you2" sighed Jessy.
A hundred wild fancies were whirling
through her heart and brain. Chief
and first among them all was the
thought-"Charles will bring home his
bride within the mouth. If / choose,
can enter the village church on the
same day, as a bride, before them"
And she did choose.
"Did you hear me-did you notice
that | sighed, Jessy?" exclaimed the
judge. "Ah, my dear girl, I've done
nothing but sigh ever since the day
when you told me you could never be
my wife, You little knew how I'M
happy your decision made me-"
81 am very sorry" said Jessy, soft
There was long silence. The Judge
took her hand. She did not withdraw
it
"Don't you think you can take
back the answer you gave me on that
unhappy day." he asked, coaxingly.
"Yes," said Jessy, lookingfar out to
sea.
n
Jessy had her wish granted. She
walked, as a bride, before her false
lover and his bride, when he entered
the village church on the day of his
first visit to his home.
And Judge Hunter, when he intro
duces his friends to his lovely wife,
always tells them, with pardonable
pride, that she married him for love-"
So in truth she did. But it was ''for
love" of her own pride.
She makes him an excellent wife,
however. No one knows the truth
except Jessy, her mother, and Sarah
Benton. These three women, strange
to say, have kept the secret faithfully
between them, and will keep it to the
end OF all their lives.

SpOrtSmen Never Get Ill.

AS a rule a sportsman may take
great liberties with himself without
being much the worse No man was
ever harmed by wet feet on q moor,
though if he comes home and contem-
plates them for an hour. over gun
room fire he may be reminded OF the
indiscretion. A deer stalker has TO
put up with great exposure and tenn
porary discomfort, but he is rarely
the worse for it. He may have to
run at the top of his speed for two or
three miles along rough hillside to
cut of stag he has wounded or start
ed, or in some way made a mistake
with, and he arrives at his post as hot
as q man can be.
The deer are not in sight, and have
to lie waited for in the best position
Tor the shot, not for the comfort 6f
the shooter. The place is high up
1000 feet up, perhaps, among lichen
and rocks and great patches of snow;
1t is October, and an east wind blows
upon the little company of three which
seems to cut into their very hearts;
finally n snow shower comes on, as it
were winding sheet, We have spent
a couple of hours or more in such
position, teeth chattering, body shake
ing, fingers benumbed. If the stag
judiciously wait for an hour he is
probably missed; the above three
phenomena do not promote good rifle
shooting. Very likely the stag never
comes at all; he was suspicious and
uneasy, and preferred to take an I'M
usual pass, and so disappointment is
added to the other discomforts. But
such a wait has never made us i'll, nor
have we ever seen n stalker who was
the worse for it.--From Macmillans'
Magazine.

promises not to interfere with private interests.

said in an interview that the house OF Braganza,
which Is on intimate terms with the British
royal family, made Portugal lose portion of
her African territory. Unless Portugal changes
her policy and enters into an alliance with
America, France and Brazil, the present crisis
may lead to the establishment of a republic.
But the present moment is not favorable. The
financial problem may be difficult to solve. It
will be polite TO leave the present Portuguese
