Great was the amazement Of Tom;

when, on coming in to dessert, as
usual, they saw Aunt Aimee and Mr..

"Welll if this isn't queer" said
Tom, grimly, biting into his peach.

fallen fat to earth. There was moth

Salvius' mien; nothing of mortifica-
tion in the smiles that dimpled Aunt
Aimee's sweet face.
After the guests were gone, Captain
Ashley called the children around him.
"Toung folks" said he, 81 shall

for you, after all. Mr., Salvius is
going to take Aunt Aimee away from
us. They are to be married next
month, and if Cecy will be very good,
she shall be n little bridesmaid, and
carry the brides bouquet for her"
Tom and Cecy exchanged glances
once more. And at tn, instigation of
the former, Cecy followed Aunt
Aimee to her room, to hazard one last
question.
Aunt Aimee" said she, "has Mr.
Salvius really proposed to you?'
Eyes, dear" answered the young
lady.
"Would-would you mind telling
me how? 1 should so much like to
know" faltered Cecy.
He wrote me letter. Cecy," said
the gentle bride-elec You'll un-
derstand all these things yourself
some day."
But neither Cecy nor Tom could
fathom this mystery.
II think there's witchcraft in it."

But Mr.. Salvius never told thcm-

know-that he himself had chanced

was concocted, and heard every word

that she likes him? Well, 1 found a
letter of his to papa about some bust

spiracy. "Oh, / don't see how you

And it's all about how much he's
in love with her." said Tom, dancing
wildly about the lawn in his delight,
and asking her to be his wife. And
I'm going to post it to-day; and to-
morrow he comes to our house to din

course, she'll believe it's all a true

The letter was duly delivered. Tom
and Cecy were hiding behind the
dining room shutters when the mail
was brought in, Immediately after
breakfast They saw the pink glow
suffuse Aunt Aimee's lovely cheek as
she glanced over the contents of the
letter, on which Tom had spent so
much malicious mischief
She had seen but very little of Mr..
Salvius' writing, and Toms handi-

At dinner-party at Bowood, Canon
Bowles, then past sixty, was intro

he sat chatting pleasantly about many
things of the day. Bowles was per-
fectly oblivious that this was the very
lady to whom he had been engaged to
be married when he had very little in
come besides his curacy. The lady,
of course was perfectly well aware
that she was talking to her quondam
lover; but her married name had in
no way enlightened him as to her
personality. After a time she said j.,

the joke immensely, for she was a re-

age, and his burst of surprise was
really only a compliment to the ex-
treme beauty of her youth.-Argonaut.

RICHES OF NORTHERN SWEDEN
vast Iron and Lumber Country Opened
Up by New Railroad.

vast Iron and Lumber Country Opened
Up by Now Railroad.
The Northern part of King Oscars
realm has often been called "Sweden's
America" because of the richness of
the land, although it is still unculti-
waited, says the Stockholm correspond
ent OF the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The poorer class prefer to emigrats to
the United States instead of seeking
new homes in NOrdland, because that
part of the kingdom lacked means of
communication by land with the can
ital. The coast cities suffered in the
winter when ice covered the sea as
much as the interior settlements suf-
fered the year round. When it was
discovered that there were great hid
den riches there for the government.
1t decided to grant money for the
building of railway. The Northern
Trunk line is now complete, and has
been opened by the king. He is said
to be Sweden's ablest orator, and
he made the 'speech of his life" The
festivities surpassed anything ever
seen here. The new railroad con-
meets at BOden, near the gulf of Both
MIA, with the northernmost railroad
In the world, running from the sea-
port OF Lulea up to the Gellivara iron
mountains, forty-seven miles north of
the polar circle. This road has been
in operation two years. 1t may be
considered the end piece of a continu-
Gus line of railroad about 1880 miles
long, reaching north and south the
whole length of Sweden. The COM
pletion of this line, it is believed, will
materially check immigration to Amer
lea. Nordland contains more than
twenty per cent of the lumber of the
world. and more than Canada and al
most twice as much as the United
States. The famous iron mines, the
largest in existence. are capable of
supplying the world for centuries.
The scenery is highly picturesque,
and the new road presents much for
tourists.
