Kate Grahame came into the room.
dressed in her simplest costume and
looking as pretty as picture. She was,
OF course, immediately appropriated by
the schoolmaster, who had been wait
ing under instructions for this especial
purpose and was speedily lost in the
maze of the dance. Reels and jigs fol-
lowed in quick succession, during which
Arthur Dunbar found it more profitabl
to sit on an old fashioned settle with
Kate Grahame and make comments on
the passing pageant. Then, quadrille,
ana once more to Arthur's disgust the
old schpolmaster stepped forward and
claimed the young lady as his partner,
just then an apparition made its APP
pearance in the doorway, which con-
centrated the gaze Of everyone. It
was Mademoiselle Campignon, looking
with beaming eyes on the gay scene.
Mrs. Barlow nudged Mr.. Barlow with
her arm and whispered something in
her ear, when to Kate's surprise the
good-humored yoeman, with very red
face, approached the lady and addressed
her, and the next minute led her out in
triumph onto the floor, and they were
whirling away with the best of them.
From that time forth Kate Grahame
gave herself up to the full enjoyment
of the occasion, venturing even such a
breach of her instructions as to delight
in merry spin with Arthur Dunbar as
a partner.
How swift the moments few. But
all things must come to an end at last,
and in the wee sma' hours of the morn
ing the happy jewellers took their de-
parture and the old house was once
more quiet again.
Did Kate Grahame dream that night?
am afraid she did-of tall handsome
young man with auburn hair and
brown eyes-which was very reprehen-
sible in that young lady, considering
the educational advantages she had en-.
ioyed and the taste for only very aris-
tocratic society she ought to have inn
bibed in Miss Honoria's drawing-room.

BER11r, March The riots have had
the effect Of bringing the municipal aps
thoritiesto the necessity of giving work
to the unemployed.
When approached by committee Of
unemployed masons before the riots
Burgomaster Forckenbeck refused to
even see them, and Under Burgomaster
Zelle, who did consent to receive them,
declared that the municipality could
not provide them with employment
He referred them to Herr Blankensteln,
Superintendent of Public Works, who
gave no substantial encouragement.
On Sunday Burgomaster Forckenbeck
received a message from the Kaiser. Its
purpopt is unknown, but yesterday,
when the Burgomaster was again visited
by body of unemployed workingmen,
he had manifestly undergone q change
of heart.
The workisgman, all honest-lookinR
tradesmen, assembled in orderly manner
and in considerable numbers, with the
resolution to lay their condition respect
fully before Burgomoster Forckenbeck.
There was not the slightest appearance
of any disposition to riot or disorder as

Burgomaster Forckenbsck replied that
he would see that they were provided with
employment. The workmen then retired
in as quiet aud orderly manner as they
had come. There has been no disturb

CHAPTER ".
THE HARVEST HOME.

All the fat was in the fire. Made
moiselle fatty refused to permit Kate
Grahame to share the festivities
of the harvest home, pronouncing
that harmless rural fete vulgar orgy,
in which no young lady with proper
sentiments ought to dream of taking
part. All this in a volubility of words
only part of which were understood-
she propounded to Mrs. Barlow, who
forthwith carried the unpleasant tidings
to the jovial yeoman, who resented the
insinuation with the vigor of his sturdy
race. He had been altogether averse
to having French woman in the house,
and had only yielded out of regard for
Miss Balderstone, firmly believing that
his ponds would be depleted of frogs
and that strange. unholy dishes would
find their way into his larder.
"Whatp' he said, striking his table
with his huge fist, so that the glasses
iingled an accompaniment to his wrath.

Sullivan made his initial appearance as
an actor here last night and wound up
his drunk by falling fat on his back in
the last act of the play.
He could scarcely walk or talk
throughout the entire performance, and
when he forgot his lines would make
disconnected speeches to the audience
about his ability as fighter.

falling over a bench ended with these
words: Harrison wazh called away

an END ont.
Whereupon there was battle royal
fought under French and English col-
ors, In which half the shots missed Ere,
for Mademoiselle could not understand
a moiety Of the farmers broad Surrey
dialect, and the lady's l1eenest bits Of
satire were lost upon him. The end Of
it was that compromise was effected.
Miss Grahame was to be allowed to
participate in the games after supper
and take part in a round dance or two,
with no other partner than the worthy
yoeman himself or the village school
master who was expected as guest.
If these conditions were obser red,
mademoiselle under protest withdrew
her objections. So harmony was re-
stored, and John Barlow, hopping his
face with his handkerchief, returned to
the kitchen with flying colors to an
nounce to his we men-folk his partial
victory.
Old customs are dying out, even in
England, but un Ter John Barlow's hos
pitable roof, they maintained their pris-
tine glory, as unabridged as when his
ancestor had burned the Yule log on
his broad hearth for the carousal of a
of King Charles.
Long tables were set in the great
kitchen, preparatory to the coming
feast. But the first ceremony was the
homing- proper, the bringing of the last
load of sweet-smelling hay from the
field, in the cleaning, just before the
dew began to fall upon the grass.
The last forkful was pitched upon the
mighty load, the ropes were tied from
wraithe to wraithe to keep it in place,
and the women and children were
hoisted up to the top of it, the former
exhibiting considerable coyness in the
process, and the heavy horses, with
harness decked with ribbons, started at
a stately pace, John Barlow leading
the procession on his fat cob, and the
haymakers bringing up the rear and
merrily trolling a song with the re-
frain:
Harvest homei
Work is done,
Jolly companions, everyonei"
How Arthur Dunbar entered into the
spirit of the revel! Just an hour was
given to the farm hands to ''fettle"
themselves, and the great bell on the
ivy-clad stone gable of the house
rang out the welcome tidings that
supper was ready. Then into the old
kitchen trooped the host of merry
makers, every laborer about the place
with his wife and children or sweet
heart, besides a score of farm-servants
from the neighboring homesteads. In
good old style the gentle waited upon
the simple, the schoolmaster and the
schoolmaster's wife, the apothecary
and his two handsome daughters, the
village dressmaker and her three
pretty apprentices, and Dame Barlow
and her Nellie merrily We'd with each
other in loading the plates with good
things; the only persons of a higher
