She found Mr. Graeme in the drawing
room, discoursins in his happiest vein
with Mrs. Knox, but he stopped short,
and jumped up TO greet her as she en-
tered
The other fellows were all at lunch
con, 50 l thought I'd just run across and
ask how you were after your journey
he explained.
You must stay and lunch with u.s."
said Mrs Knox.
Miss Knox must come and see the re-
suit of the cricket this afternoon put
in the Adjutant
SO, late in the afternoon, Mrs. Knox
and Jane. having promised Mr.. Graeme,
strolled over to the cricket ground. which
was gay with flags and the colOrs of the
contesting sides.
The artillery from a neighboring station
had challenged the til Hussars. and
number of people had assembled to see
how the contest would end. But the in
terest was withdrawn from the game as
Jane hesitatingly approached, in her pref
~ soft white cotton gown and large
white hat, glancing nervously at the
crowd of gayly dressed ladies. who as yet
had scarcely decided to receive her among
themselves. Most Of them had heard of
James short but brilliant triumph at
Cawnpore, and some of them had seen
her there. The Generals wife, a kindly,
portly lady of middle age. to whom Mrs.
Dene had introduced her, beckoned her
smilingly to sit down beside her. and
asked to be introduced TO Mrs. Knox.
Then the Hon Barry Larron came and
stood beside them, and the Quartermas-
tcr's wife felt rs if fortune could have no

glance around had assured Jane that Col
onel Prinsep was nowhere within sight,
and she felt more at ease.
which side is winning"' she asked
Major LarrOn.
Our side, of course; We always do,
he answered.
"Who is playing now" asked Mrs.
Knox.
The Colonel is in; he and Mr.. Graeme
have made tolerable score. but the high
est score was made by Sergeant Lynn"
WAS that the man who was in just
now asked the Generals wife.
Yes. They were lucky in getting him
out for fifty runs; he is generally a very
brilliant player; but he has not been very
steady lately, and that spols a fellows
game"
Mrs. Knox glanced at Jane, but the girl
made no sign of having heard Major Lar
ron's remark
just then a murmur of disappointment
broke from the crowd. Colonel Prinscp
had been bowled out, and they cheered
vociferously as he came toward the tent.
He was stopped, however. by Sergeant
Lynn. who Invested him Of his pads ana
gloves, 1T the same time speaking 10 him
in an evidently confidential manner.
At last the conference between the two
unconscious rivals came to an end, and
the Colonel came on alone toward the
tent.

We learn. on good authority. that a
certain enterprising gardener has at
last succeeded in producing a black
rose-"aS black as SCOT" as he proud
ly declares. Perhaps it is needless to
say that his pcrsevering. but rather
melancholy. person is a German. So
far. his achievement is unique. though
green roses were obtained some time
ago by a member of his fraternity.
Science, we suppose, makes every eX-
pertinent worth while, otherwise one
would be tempted to question whether
the result were worth the trouble tax
en-. as a black rose certainly cannot.
from purely Philistine point of view,
be considered as beautiful as a pink

artificial flower makers succeeded IN
making us all thoroughly tired of black
roses quite twelvemOnth ago. It is

those in the mosaic pavement of Santa
Maria de Flori. in Florence, and what

right TO call her so. she turned little
paler. Jenny, when can L speak TO You
alone?'
"Alone?" she echoed, in confusion,
warm blush mantling in her checks
Alone" he repeated firmly. Can You
not guess what it is have TO say
That night, nearly an hour after his
wife had gone TO bed, the QuartcrmaSter
was startled by a faint rappinE at his
office door He had stayed up u finish
some of his accounts. and having COM
pleted them, was leaning back IN his
chair. having a quiet smoke.
Come in" he called out IN Hlndoo-
stance. thinking it was a servant asking
for admittance.
To his surprise. when the door opened.
il was Jane who slowly entered in flow
ing wrapper of blue and white, her m
bound hair falling about her shoulders
her eyes dim with weeping.
"Why. childie. | thought You were IN
bed long ago, Are you in trouble: You
look as if you had been crying.
II came to speak 10 you about some
thing else. about what | asked you the

She nodded affirmatively.

off to bed. my girl; and don't spoil those
pretty eyes of yours by any moro crying.
Not a sweetheart in Christendom i worth

Laughing still at his own joke. he
stopped, and kissing her affectionateiy,
pushed her gently from the room.

/ Dakota Verdict.

There is deep Indignation here over
the acquittal of Alice NJ Giles, who
was tried last week for the murder OF
her husband. The prosecution devel-
oppd what seemed to be absolute evil
donco, much stronger than was adduC-
ed in the trial of William Davidson,
last week, for the same crime, for
which he received q life sentence. The
defense in the Giles case succeeded in
getting one man on the jury whom it
could rely upon to hang it. The State
found this out shortly after the com
menccment Of the case, and could only
hope for a disagreement. Imagine the
surprise of every One-eyen the lawyers
for the defenSe-when the jury came in
with a verdict of not guilty After
the Jury had been discharged. one Of
the iurymcn told the story of the YER
dict. The jury stood 10 to > for couvic-
ton. but afcer being out SO hours the
ten went over TO the two. because. as
some of them afterward said, they had

other said he voted for acquittal be
