A reporter was sent at the last mo

cal performance in New York, says the
Youths Companion. He hurried to the
theater, but did not arrive until ate,
the play had begun. In getting to hi:
place he was forced to disturb Gen.
Sherman, who, with a lady, occupied
seats next the aisle. The reporter begged
the generals pardon. but the old soldier
was evidently annoyed.
He said nothing, however. until after
the curtain had fallen on the first act
Then he leaned over toward the report
er with frown, and said:
Young man, you ought to know tina,
it is great annoyance to be forced to
stand up and let person pass while
the play is in progress. You should
either get to your seat before the cur.
tain rises, or stay away from the thea.

CHAPTER XVI.
MARRIED BUT NOT MATED.

The next morning / arose feeling
BADLY. | had slept none during the
night, but | had wept for hours. All
night long my mind dwelt on the scene
Just described and the burden of nv
thoughts ever was of what might have
been. was sure that VIII Hanley
loved me-that the sight of me had
aroused all the tender passion he had
Z known five years before, and that but
for the vile rumors set afioat by Ralph
Bernard he would have searched me
out even at the cost of years and made
ue his wife. 1t was wrong, perhaps, to
dwell on such thoughts, but there was
melancholy pleasure in it that could
not resist. There was sad enjoyment
in recalling his words and actions, and
in knowing that he loved me even
though he had no right to do so.
For an instant | reveled in the
knowledge Of his love, then, putting
that feeling away, | contrasted what
was with what might have been, and
IN my heart | very nearly cursed
Bernard, VINO had robbed my life of its
sweetness. But for him | would have
been VIII Hanleys bride, a happy, con-
tented wife, instead of a disappointed
woman, loving a man whom had no
right to love.
When descended to the dining-room
found that Mrs. Lawton and the Wis
itors had already breakfasted, so I sat
down alone and ate very little. Leav-
Ing the table | went out for a walk,
hoping that the fresh morning air
would revive me. | took the same
course | had taken the night before,
but just as emerged into the lane |
found myself face to face with Hanley
and my sister For moment we were
all embarrassed and silent, but | soon
recovered myself little, and, extend
ing my hand.to my sister, said:
Mary, | am glad to see you"
My words did not seem to express
much, and the tone in which uttered
them was quite devoid OF sentiment,
but only spoke as felt. | regretted
that | had not been more demonstra-
tive, after the words were spoken, but
j did not regret long Mary's deport-
ment was such as to freeze up in nv
heart any tender affection might have
cherished. She took no notice of nv
extended hand but with a stiff bow re-
piled;
Il am glad to see you, Agnes, in this
nome, and hope for your own sake, as
well as ours, you will remain here and
by good conduct try to atone for the
past"
What do you mean?" | demanded,
with rising anger, sure that | under
stood the purport of her language.
Il only mean" she replied, that I
hope youwill not bring further disgrace
to our family by repeating your be-
havlor of two years ago with that man
Bernard. You know what refer to, of
course"
4 flash OF hot resentment swept over
me, and ! came near giving vent to
some wrathful expressions; but !
cwbed my temper in time, and when l
spoke it was more in sorrow than
anger.

THE OLD STONE DouGHNuT JAR.

My thoughts Will sometimes wander back
To things loved in boyhood days
The pond beside the railroad track
Wherein l longing used to gaze.
Because forbidden there to swim:
But brighter far the memories are
OF what held goodness TO its rim
My mothers old stone doughnut Jar.
There's many time and many a place
My thoughts 90 back tOlovingly,
And many pretty girlish face
Is treasured in my memory:
Yet nothing takes me back so soon,
Or leads into the past so far,
Whether at morning, night or noon,
As thoughts Of that stone doughnut jar
It stood upon lower shelf,
Was covered with blue stone plate,
And could always help myself.
Nor need 10 pause to hesitate"
What Joy Of joys! what untold bliss
It held, not even time can mar!
Let come what may I'll still have this

She made no reply, but stood looking

have been so bad as we heard it was.
but you remember the old saying about
where there is so much smoke there
must be some fire. There was evident
" some basis for those rumors."
There was, Mary" answered.
There was basis of malicious false
hood"
