NOT THE SAME GIRL.

But She svvas Glad" Tlme Hadn't Made
Any Change in Her.
The following anecdote has both
comical and pathetic side. What a long
time fifty years is in the life of a
human being! And how far apart, how
unlike in tastes, feelings, opinions and
habits, men and women can become,
who in childhood slept under the same
roof, attended the same school and
dreamed of nothing but of being friends
forever! A gentleman whose ''courtly
manners" were mentioned in all the
newspapers when he died, few years
after this incident, fancied in his old
age that he wished to see his boyhood
friends, and most of all, the fair
young girl, whose love long years be-
fore, he almost, but not quite, had
dared to ask.
He forgot country manners and called
at half-past eleven in the forenoon. He
was asked to walk right out into the
Kitchen" as there was no fire anywhere
else.
His early admiration stood before
him, in worn calico dress, no collar and
a wide and not faultlessly clean apron.
Her half-combed grizzly hair was
tucked under rusty black lace cap,
trimmed with faded purple ribbon. She
had no teeth and a huge pair of silver
bowed spectacles were pushed up on
her brown, wrinkled forehead.
Fifty-two years before they had
parted with kiss, and he had been in
tending to meet her with one and thus
bridge the chasm of years. But he
changed his mind when through his
gold-bowed glasses he took in the pic
ture before him.
Wiping her hands on her apron she
gave him a hearty handshake and babe
him ''sit right down." adding that they
were killing hogs and trying up
lard" but if he would ''stay to dinner"
she would have "a fire put in the front
room"
Of course he declined the invitation,
and for his own comfort, as we'll as for
his convenience, he determined to make
his call short. Still, he must say some
thing complimentary before leaving,
but what could he say?
Just then the lard boiled over, and
with shrill cry to her daughter to
''come quick" the woman jumped up
and caught hold of the kettle. The
smoke and perfume were in themselves
far from agreeable, but they were
grateful to the caller, as they gave him
a chance for the desired compliment.
''Your step has lost none of its elias
ITCHY since the evening we sauntered
together along the banks of the R."
he said, ''while this"-holdinp out his
gold-headed cane-''is needed to sup
port mine.''

married as If it were a mere shopping
expedition; most of all she loved Lord
Parkhurst; he was the man among all
men she desired. Rosalys allowed
things to take their course.
Soon the dressing began; and she sat
through it quite calmly. When Lord
Parkhurst rode across for short visit
that day he only noticed that she
seemed strung-up, nervous, and that
the flush of love which mantled her
cheek died away to pale rather quickly.
On the way to church the road
skirted the low-lying ground where the
river was, and about a dozen men were
seen in the bright-green meadow,
standing beside the deep central
stream, and looking intently at a
broken rail.
''Who are those men?" said the bride.
''Oh-they are the coroner's jury,
think" said Miss Jennings, ''come to
view the place where the u fortunate
Mr.. Durrant lost his life last night. It
was curious that, by the merest acci-
dent, he should have been at Mrs.
Lacy's dinner-since they hardly knew
him at all"
1T was-I saw him there" said
Rosalys-
Ten minutes later she was kneeling
against the altar ratings, with Lord
Parkhurst on her right hand.
The wedding was by no means gay
one, and there were few people in
vited. Rosalys, for one thing. having
hardly any relations The newly
united pair got away from the house
very soon after the ceremony. When
they drove off there was a group of

Tomorrow came, and those who had
gathered together at the wedding went
about their usual duties and amuse-
ments, Col. Lacy among the rest.
As he and his wife were returning
home by the late afternoon train after
a short journey up the line, he bought
a copy of an evening paper and glanced
at the latest taleprams.

'What?" said she, starting towards
him.
He tried to read-then handed her
the paper; and she read for herself:

she filed, and, having read them over,
she scaled up the letter and placed it
! on the mantelpiece to be given to a
groom and dispatched by hand as soon
as the morning was little further ad-
vanced.
With cold feet and burning head
she was, and waited for the day with
out the power to sleep. When she had
lain nearly two hours, and the morning
had crept in, and she could hear from
the direction of the stables that the
men were astir, she rang for her maid.
and taking the letter in her hand stood
with it in an attitude of suspense as
the woman entered. The latter looked
full of intelligence.
"Are any of the men about?" asked
Rosalys.
''Yes, ma'am. There have been
such an accident in the Meads this
past night-about half a mile down the
river-and Jones ran up from the
lodge to call for help quite early; and
Benton and Peters went as soon as they
were dressed. A gentleman drowned
|-yes-it's Mr.. James Durrant-the SON
of the Mr.. Durrant who died some
years ago. He came home only yester-
day, after having been heard nothing
of for years and years. He left Mrs.
Durrant, who they say is French
lady, somewhere in London, but they
have telegraphed and found her, and
she's coming. They say she's quite
distracted. The poor gentleman left
the Three Lions last night and went
out to dinner, saying he would walk
home, rs it was q fine night and not
very far; and it is supposed he took the
old short cut across the moor where
there used to be a path when he was
a lad at home, crossing the big river
by a plank. There is only rail now,
and he must have tried to get across
upon it, for it was broken in two, and
his body found in the water-weeds just
below"

IsHPEM1NG, Mich, July 1.-THE sit

places during the morning. They de-
cided to hold out as long as possible and
modest all who dare to resume work.
Committees were appointed to wait on

ting propositions for higher pay: They
will demand 81 a day for miners, 81. rs

81. 50 for all surface hands. After the
meeting the men marched to Negaunee
to stop all work going on there. The

English Election Returns lndi-
cate Big ConSerVa-
tive Victory. Nv
A MAJORITY OF THIRTY-TW0.
Four Of Rosebery's Ministry
Already Meet Defeat at
the Polls.

LONDON, July 17.-Up to midnight
the returns from the parliamentary
election show the following results:
Conservatives, 200; Liberal Unionists,
u; total, 231. Liberals, ID; Parnell-
ties, 4; McCarthyites, IL; Labor, i;
total 81.
The gains which the Unionists have
secured in the elections thus far insure
them a majority Of 80 in the next
house, even if the rest Of the seats to
be voted on remain the same as
heretofore. The proportion of the
electors who went to the polls was
higher than on any former occasion.
The chief event of the day was the
Defeat OF John Morley,
making the fourth ex-minister in Rose
bery's cabinet who has been sent to
seclusion. At Northampton, which is
a Radical stronghold, Labouchere had
a majority greatly reduced and the
Conservatives won the other seat.
The result of previous returns was so
convincing that there has been little
enthusiasm in public places during the
day. Crowds gathered in front OF
newspaper Offices and there was much
cheering at Conservative gains. Con-
trary to expectation the election OF
Joseph Chamberlain seemed to delight
the people, but WIS received with sui
lenness at the Liberal clubs.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE field Of the

chivalry, is outrivalled in Chicago. In

jority Of spectators present were per-
suaded rightly or wrongly that the up
to-date tournament equalled, if 1t did
not surpass, the famous occasions when
the knightly champions of old had a
3oust that challenged the attention Of
Christendom.
This affair il strictly modern in every
detail, and if lacking in display of tin.
sci and plumes seemed all the greater,
to the witnesses who took 1t in all
seriousness, that it was contest Of
intellect instead of muscle. Certainly
both sides displayed an earnestness and

tract the keenest national and perhaps
international interest.
