''l NEVER SENT IT."

am so pleasedl Look! here is bit OF
heliotrope and some maiden-hair that
will just do for you"
To her surprise Mysie turned as pale
as death, and shrank back, looking al
most appealingly at her lover, who was
watching.
AS their eyes met there was some
thing in his-an expression, q con-
seriousness, what? Mysie did not
know, but great trembling came over
her.
A hundred thoughts seemed to pass
through her mind in a moment; but
of one thing she was certain-Herbert
Castleford knew all about those play
full, loving words spoken out on the
terrace on the never-to-be-forgotten
night.
Then, leaning forward, she asked, as
if they had already been speaking to
one another:
elbow did you send it from New
York;"
"I--that is-what do you mean, N.Y.
sie3I never sent It'll"
Seeing that Mysie's clear eyes seemed
to read him through, he attempted no
more denial, but caught her hands in
his, and irnplored her to forgive him.
IT came out to look for you that
night" he said, land I heard what you
were saying just as Gertrude came
upon you from the other side; and it
was such temptation, for I loved you
dearly-much better than he did. It
was all done for love of you, Myself"
And she tried to wave him away, but
instead fell fainting to the ground.
When she recovered Herbert Castle
ford had gone. A few hasty lines from
him besought her forgiveness, and told
her that Godfrey was now on his way
back 10 England to find out why she
had not written to him, and that he
hoped they would have been married
before Godfrey could arrive, but that
how he would 60 away and never
trouble her again.
"You will forgive me, Godfrey, won't
you," she said, "for doubling you like
that? But it. seemed so terribly true!
Look! Here is the envelope and flow
cr."
"And here is the flower you gave me, :"
said Godfrey. There's not much differ
ence, certainly, between them, but as
for the envelope-well, I must give you
few specimens Of my handwriting
when I 60 away again, SO that you may
not be taken in 30 easily"
"But I shall never let you go away
again." said Mysie.
And that was how they arranged it.

What Arc We Going to Leaves

How can we think of leaving less than
a pleasant memory to others after we
are gone? Some of us will not have
much money to leave; some of us none
at all. What are we going to leave?
How much? And to how many? Per-
haps you answer: II hope to leave my
family some pleasant memories" And
is that all? Are you not going to leave
something to others? I heard yester-
day of an old lady of s3-indeed, she
had passed her eighty-third birthday
and what do you think she is going to
leave her family and those who know
her? Only the memory of her inordi-
nate love Of dress, which she possesses
to a pitiful extent. Something more
worthy than that we must leave!-La-

Gertrude. ''Mr. Castleford 10 down.
stairs, and mother says you are to come"
as Mysie looked rebellious.
"But you must change your dress;
you can't come down in that. Has any
thing happened? You look very queer"
NO." said Mysie, with strange lit
tie laugh; "at least, nothing of impor-
lance. I will come down in few min
utes."
And in q very short time she was in
the drawing-room, and Herbert Castle
ford, as he looked at her, thought he
had never seen her so beautiful. He
had loved her for years, but had re-
ceived so little encouragement from
Mysie that he had never spoken; but
tonight he had determined to put his
fate to the test, while Mysie, with a
pain in her heart that seemed almost
physical in it's intensity, was saying to
herself that if Godfrey could forget
so easily, why so could she.
And so it came about that few hours
later she returned to her own room,
having pledged herself to Herbert Cas-
tleford. Instead of the little hoop OF
pearls she had never worn, she pos
sessed handsome diamond ring; and
the dead flower and the pearls were
put far away out of sight, to be for
gotten-if possible.
Six months had passed and Herbert
Castleford was pressing for an early
marriage. Mysie and her mother had
gone away from home Immediately
after her becoming engaged. Mysie
complained of the cold and looked SO
delicate that her mother took her away
to the south of France, where, soon
after, Herbert followed them.
Mysie seemed willing for the we'd
ding to take place whenever they liked
to arrange it. So matters were being
hurried on to suit the impatient lover,
when, one day, Gertrude ran into the
room where Mysie and Herbert were
sitting.
"Look, Myself" she cried. "Here's a
lovely bunch of flowers from that dear
count! Isn't he silly? And they are
such beauties. Only smell them. o, !

THE SCRUB.
II I should die Tonight
Then would you look upon my quiet face
And wish me back again within my stall?
Would all the years Of eating I have spent
Devouring all your hard-earned grain and
hay
With scant return in butter, milk or meat,
With little save a pile Of leached-out dung
And my society to leave behind!
Would such q life-work make you wish me
back
If should die tonight
THE FARMER.
If you should die tonight
I'd be ten dollars better off by spring.
That money represents the difference
Between the food that you will guzzle
down
Before the snow melts and the milk and
meat
That you can manufacture from that food.
If you should die to-night-I'd thank my
stars.
And If you think of dying, let me take
My ak and turn you into beef, at least,
Before you die tonight!

dancing and the hot, crowded ball
room? In all the world for him there
was only one woman, and she stood, her
hands clasped in his, her brown head
resting on his shoulder, lost in a happy
dream.
"You won't forget me, darling" he
whispered, "when T am thousands of
miles away at the other side of the
world, and letters are long in coming?
You'll remember that I am coming
back in two years at the latest to claim
my little wife"
'sOh, it can't really be true, Godfrey,
that you are going tomorrow? tits too
dreadful to think of! And it's not 1
that will forget; I shall think of you
night and day till you come back. But
you'll most likely meet with some love-
ly American girl-all American women
are lovely, you know-and then you'll
forget all about poor little Mysie T1af-
ford, who is waiting for you in Eng
land"
"When I am out on the great lonely
prairies,'' he said, dreamily, II shall
Just shut my eyes and think myself
back to this night. I shall hear the
band in the distance, I shall feel you
once more in my arms and shall smell
the faint smell of that heliotrope you
are wearing"
For answer she took piece OF the
heliotrope from the bosom of her dress.
Here's a little bit of it," she said.
"And when you meet that lovely Ameri-
can and you wish that you were free
and that this evening had never been,
then YOU put that little flower in an en-
velope and you needn't write word to
put with it, but just address it to me;
and when I get it shall know what it
means, and you will be free"
"What nonsense, Myself" he said,
angrily. "Why do you talk like that?
You know
ooh, here you are!" cried shrill
voice. II have been looking for you
everywhere. Mr.. Castleford is as cross
as ever he can be, Mysie. He says you
promised him the last two dances and
then you had disappeared, and no one
could find you, while as for you, Mr..
Hamilton, think you had better keep
out of the way altogether after disap-
pointing Lady May, and goodness
knows who besides"
And Gertrude, Mysie's sister, chatted
on, totally unconscious that she was
most unwelcome intruder.
She and Mysie had always been
taught that it was their duty to make
a. p0o1 match: and Ce0ffrev Hamilton
with no money and just off to America,
was so entirely ineligible that she sus-

DRIVER WAS LITERAL.

Followed Instructions In Delivering q
Barrel of Flour.
The manager of one of the Chicago
express companies tells good story:
1--WE have big, strong Irishman driv'
ing one of our teams. The other day he
was sent with a barrel Of -four to the
home of q woman on the South side.
Arrived there, the driver took the bar
rel on his back and started up the stairs,
his express book in his coat pocket.
"Half way up the second fight OF
stairs the Irishman came upon a woman
scrubbing.
"'Will We be afther tellin' me where
Mrs. MCGOWAN lives?' he asked.
"'I am Mrs. McGowan,' said the
scrubber-a statement which was ir-
relevant-'and live upstairs

-four? asked the driver.

then put it down. I'll attend to it, re-
piled Mrs. MCGOWAN.
$50 he went up, and when there were
no more stairways to conquer he looked
about and saw a ladder leading
through an open scuttle to the roof.
Up the ladder he climbed, out on the
roof he stepped, and then, finding he
could go no higher without a balloon,
he deposited the barrel and came down.
ION the stairway-though nearly at
the foot-he found the woman again,
and she signed the delivery book. Then
he went about his business, but before
he got to the office Mrs. MCGOWAN was
there demanding an explanation. The
driver was called in as soon as he re-
turned.
"'Where did you put that barrel Of
flour?' demanded the official.
"'Where she tould me-
"'Where did you tell him to put it,
madame?'
"I told him to take it up as far as he
could, am

driver. If she'll look on the roof she'll

on their immediate return to the ball
room.
And she looked often at the little
hoop of pearls-the pledge of her be-
trothal-but never put it on except in
her own room for few minutes.
Somehow as the days went by it seemed
a harder matter to speak of that even
ing to her mother, the more so that her
mother had not the faintest suspicion
of anything of the sort; and so month
passed.
Then one evening Mysie returned
from a walk and saw a letter lying on
the hall table. A glance at her own
name and the postmark-"New York"
and she snatched up the letter, won
dering if anyone had noticed it; then
ran upstairs to her own room and
locked the door to enjoy it in peace.
The ire burned brightly and looked
inviting. and she drew up low easy
chair, and seated herself comfortably
as she broke the seal of the envelope.
What was the faint perfume as she did
so? She drew out q piece of blank

HOW TO MANAGE AN AQUARIUM

Certain Little Essoasisls 70 1ts Proper
In order to manage your aquarium
properly you will require few simple
tools. A little hand-net that can be

even less out of bit of wire and small
piece of mosquito-netting, is useful for
catching the fish or shells without put
ting your hands into the water. Apair
of wooden forceps, like a glove-stretch-
er, will he found most convenient for
nipping off bits Of decaying plants or
for catching objects that may have &C.
cidentally fallen into the water. Glass
tubes of various sizes are also useful.
If you want to catch any small object in
the water with the tube, place the tube
in the water with your finger over the
hole in the top. Until your finger is
removed the tube will remain full of air.
Place it over the bit of refuse or what
ever it is you want to catch, remove
your finger, and the water will rush in

tube, which should then be closed at
the upper end by placing your finger
over it as before. A glass or hard-rub'

If q great film begins to gather on the
side of the tank that is most exposed to
the light, it should be cleaned away
every day, and the sides of the glass pol.
ished carefully. A small piece Of clean
sponge tied on the end of stick will
answer the purpose. If the scum Il

It is best to have only small fish in
your aquarium, and for this reason
trout are not desirable. Goldfish and

You must keep careful watch over the
fish in your aquarium, and if any one Of
them appears to be sick he should be
removed at once, very gently, with the
hand-net, and placed in fresh water
where he will often recover.
Certain varieties of snails live well
in fresh water, and will be found useful
in clearing away the green film that
is almost certain to collect on the side
