"You have guessed rightly" said Mr..

You nave guessed rightly" said Mr..
Marsh.
"Who would have thought it? Poor,
dear Violet! exclaimed Mrs. Langton.
There was little more talk, and then
Mrs. Langton promised to send Violet
down to speak with her guardian; the
rector went back to his library, and Mr..
Marsh paced, waiting, to and fro. Vio-
let came into the drawing room in some
surprise.
My dear young lady," said NJ. Marsh,
II do hope that you will do me the justice
to believe one thing, that iu all that I
may consider necessary to te said, and
in all may find expedient to be done,
am guided simply and wholly by sincere
desire to see you happy"
"You We're always very, very kind, dear
guardy," said Violet, gently.
IL have had an interview, Violet. my
dear" said Mr.. Marsh. with a gentle-
man who called here expressly to see me.
Sir Richard Mortmain, who is, as you are
aware, baronet Of one of the earlier
creations, and a man of property and
position, has been here to-day to ask my
consent before making you a formal pro-
posal Of marriage. There can he no doubt
as to the sincerity of his attachment to
yourself, and as little as to the disinter-
estedn character of his suit. But what
admired was the unselfish and generous
nature Of the man himself. Indeed, Vio-
let, 1 should close my eyes, were anything
to happen to me, the more happily il 1
knew that you were under the care Of
such husband as Sir Richard Mort
main."
do not ask me to do it-I could not
could not" cried out Violet, like fright
ened child; and then, seeing her guardian 8
look Of surprise, she said, more calmly,
"You mean all that is good, dear sir, and
as regards Sir Richard Mortmain, thank
you gratefully. But cannot marry him.
l am pledged to Don, and do not like
Sir Richard, with all his accomplishments
and all his good looks.'
"You mean, you headstrong girl" broke
out Mr.. Marsh, angrily, ''that you are
caught by a fair outside, and few spe-
cious words; that you prefer low-born
adventurer to a high-bred gentleman
like"
Hush, guardy, dear guardy" piteous-
" interjected Violet, as the color. rose
to her face and the tears mantled in her
eyes. "You are cruelty unjust to Don.
He is no adventurcr. No one ever had a
nobler soul or higher motives than he.
And as for his birth"
"Why, the fellow had invented for him
even the name he bears, such as 1t is!''
broke out Mr.. Marsh, in rage. .If l
saw you Lady Mortmain, I should feel
that your future happiness was assured.
But as for yonder lad, you never can, MOI
shall you, while have voice in the
matter, throw yourself away SO absurd.

it will most likely be so. But, il am moi

And then she went away, weeping, tc
her room, while Mr.. Marsh, wrathful and
disappointed, strobe out into the hall
snatched his hat, and started for his con
stitutional walk in no pleasant frame Of
mind.

OFF FLEW HIS GEESE.
They Have Gone south for the Win

ter or Longer with "a wild Flock.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
A farmer named Bidwell, living eleven
miles from Minneapolis, beyond the Min
neapolis bottoms, tells a remarkable story
about some domesticated Canadian geese
that are his property. Mr.. Bidwell is in
Minneapolis with load OF poultry, and
when the subject of geese shooting was
preached he had few very interesting
remarks to make about wild geese.
Two years ago" he said my wife's
brother, Fred Roach, came. up. from
Florida to visit me. Among the things he
brought along was a setting of ten Can
adian goose eggs. He wanted to find out
how the birds would do in captivity,
and / was a little interested in the prob
lem, too. l set the eggs under big old
tame goose and she Matched out eight OF
them. Two got killed one way and an
other before they were very old, but the
other six reached maturity. Last spring.
when the fight of geese was going north
l noticed that my gray fellows seemed
good deal interested in them. One day
saw the lot rise up and circle several
times, when a flock of wild birds was GO
ing over. so l clipped all their wings and
made sure of them for the time being. [
meant to clip them again this autumn, but
somehow, in the hurry of the fall work,
overlooked it, Besides, the geese seemed
to have got over all idea of flying away,
and felt pretty secure of them.
Just about a week ago 1 was fixing
up q hay stack that had blown over, when
1 noticed a big flock of wild geese coming
from the north. They were away up in
the air and going at terrific rate. A
flock OF about sixty of my geese were feed
ing short distance from where / was
at work. l did not notice the big flock go
ing south after giving one glance at them.
UNTIL hearing their cries close at hand.
/ saw that they had been decoyed to my
tame flock, and were circling about over
them. They had made about two big
sweeps, filling the air with sharp calls.
when my domeSticated Canadians let go
an answering cry and rose straight up in
the air. Two of the tame geese went
with them, and the others, after lum-
bering attempt at flight, settled down to
earth again. The birds that had been
Matched from wild eggs, with their two
tame companions, after making a couple
of little circles, went straight for the flock
and the entire lot headed south together.
l ought to have clipped them again this
fall, but l didn't, and the birds have gone"
1t will be interesting to see whether Mr..
BidwelPs birds return to the farm next
spring. Bogardus, in his book on shoot
ing, refers to the easy DEMONSTRATING of
wild geese, and cites instances of their
having gone south in the autumn only to
return with the spring fight to the home
of their youth.
