In the stories Of Henry James it is the
unexpected that always happens. In
'The Wheel of Time" concluded in the
January Cosmopolitan. the little heroine's
life is sacrificed to this necessity; but the
blow is not crushing, since the readers
interest dies first. James is one of the
writer's against whose overriding provi-
dence the reader feels enclined to rebel
he seems able to endow his creations
with just enough life OF their own to
make them refuse to follow gracefully the
line Of action, or inaction, which he pre-
scribes for them. Thomas Hardy has the
same faculty, more highly developed, Of
evoking creatures too strong for his
guidance. Most OF the discussion aroused
by Tess" resolved itself into debates as
to whether Tess would have done any OF
the things imputed to her by her creator,
and If any, how many. 1t is the old
Frankenstein situation with the tragedy
left out.
A very complete article on 1.-The Max
Ing ct an illustrated Magazine" is one of
the most interesting contributions of the
month.
1.-THE Confessions Of an Autograph
Hunter" are of sort to make the reader
blush; confessions that no man, one
would think, would make unless under
the persuasive influence OF the thumb
screw, and no magazine editor publish
under any circumstances. That this
view is absolutely foreign both to writer
and publisher is only too evident from
the tone of self-gratulatiun taken by the
young man who writes the article and
the editor who, in foot-note, says that
"the Cosmopolitan takes pride in intro
ducing him to its readers as one who is
likely to make his MAJ in the years to
come" The article describes in detail
the various ":uses" to which the writer
had recourse in attempting to draw"
great men whose autographs he wished
FOR collection. BY making application
for information, ~ If in good faith, and
for a serious purpose, to such men as j.
r. Lowell, Cardinal Manning, Professor
Freeman and others of equal dignity, he
succeeded in drawing out letters OF court
eous response. These men amid the
pressing duties crowding upon them,
made time to answer what they Imagined
TO he sincere letters, and it is about AS
exhileraiing to read OF their deception as
to hear OF tile success, Of bunco-steerer
in playing upon the kindly sympathies OF
reverent age.

 "But what could you-what- could you see in me? Oh, do pray that you may not repent it!'' The gentle heart was ruf1ed amid its joy by the thought of its own unworthiness.
 Repent it. I feel that am a saved man. You do not know how degrading this city life is, how debasing, and yet how absorbing. Money forever clinks in your ear. You can think of nothing else. From the bottom of my heart I hate it, and yet how can draw back without bringing grief to my dear old father? There was but one way in which could defy the taint, and that was by having home influence so pure and so high that it may brace me up against all that draws me down. I have felt that influence already. I know that when I am talking to you am better man. It is you who must go with me through life, or must walk forever alone"

Memorial day exercises at the Art In

Memorial day exercises at the Art h. stitute, Chicago, were rendered sensa- tional by. an exchange of opinions on the pension question between General John c. Black. ex- United States pension con- missioner under Cleveland, and Major William Warner of Kansas City, past grand commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. Major Warner spoke first and in touching upon the pensions said that the men who were the friends of the soldier and who had enacted the pension laws could be relied upon to deal justly with the pension matters, and that it be- longed to the friends of the soldier and no one else to remedy the evils which may have crept into the pension system. Gen eral Black, who sat upon the stand, grew uneasy while Maj. Warner was talking. | and when his turn came to speak he said: "The pension rolls are polluted with the names of towards, deserters and impost- CTS, and no true soldier of 1861 to 1865 would object to measures calculated to remove the disgrace" Both speakers were wildly applauded.

''Mav 7 hape it," snta he, "tor lte?'
 Ida sat listening to the stumbling words and awkward phrases which were whispered from the back of her, but there was something in Charles West macott's clumsiness of speech which was more moving than the words of the most eloquent of pleaders. He paused, he stammered. he caught his breath be- tween the words. and he blurted out in little blunt phrases all the hopes of his heart. If love had not come to her yet, there was at least pity and sympathy, which are nearly akin to it. Wonder there was also that one so weak and frail as she should shake this strong man so, should have the whole course of his life waiting for her decision. Tier left hand was on the cushion at her side. He leaned forward and took it gently in his own. She did not try to draw it back from him.
 May have it," said he, flor lifeY
 "OtA, do attend to your steering," said she, smiling around at him, "and don't say any more about this today. Please don't!'
 "When shall know, then?"
 "Oh, tonight, tomorrow-I don't know must ask Clara Talk about something else."
 And they did talk about something else, but her left hand was still inclose6 in his, and he knew, without asking again that all was well.
