OF course, in nine cases out OF ten no

Il think my error in the present case

" addressing the remark TO her. "Soon
or late you were bound to have it in for

There was startled questioning in the
girls swift glance, and then she looked
away. Ibid you say it had stopped
raining?" she asked, stifIly, after "a mo-
ment.
IT believe it has," he duly rejoined,
going TO the door to look out again.
Eyes; it has stopped. L suppose
would better go for the horses"
The spirit OF frank good-fellowship in
which they had renewed their uncon-
ventional acquaintance in the shelter of
the old hut seemed TO have been lost in
its shadows. In almost sullen silence
they rode along over the rough trail,
making toward the turning to the Mas
cot mine. Al first she coldly protested
against his coming with her, but he said
that it had grown too late for him to
ride on then to the ranch for which he
had started out; he would have to make
the trip another day; and now, if she
really did not mind. he would prefer to
60 back. With chill indifference Miss
Meredith assented, and then they rode
along with the silence scarce broken
but for the splashing fall of garnered
rain-drops from the branches overhead
and the sucking sound of the horses
hoof-beats in the sodden ground. Once
he turned to ask if she found the motion
painful for her wrist; and again, when
they came to the point where she had
missed the way, he remarked that it
would have been strange if she had dis
covered n trail so hidden by the crowd
ing, qualiing asps; but she answered
him only in monosyllables, and he
presently abandoned all effort toward
sociability.
They were equally relieved, perhaps,
when they finally came out on the brow
of the hill at the west of the Mascot
mine. The constraint was becoming
almost unbearable. ut will not be
necessary for me to bore you much long
er, you see," the young man observed, n
touch of satire in his smile. For the
narrowness of the way they had been
riding single file, and he had waited
here for her to come up beside him.

exclaimed, looking down the wide

The Walls Have Ears.

1t was a radiant night in June, and,
as they walked slowly up the rose-lit
path from the quaint little gate by the
road, he bent his head lower and
touched her cheek with his lips. She
looked up at him in surprise. Perhaps
he had been hasty; perhaps it was not
his right to touch the shrine of his wor-
ship; perhaps the moon had never seen
a sight like that; perhaps the fragrance
of rose and honeysuckle had never
fallen on the air of June that lovers
breathe; perhaps she did not know the
measure of his heartbeats; perhaps
perhaps-oh, word uncertain, filled with
the mystery of man and woman. His
eyes met hers, tremulous with emotion
'unspoken, and they moved silently
toward the house, with his arm about
her shoulders, as comrades walk. You
are the most beautiful woman / ever
saw" he whispered-"theo one woman
in the whole world / love-" AS she
threw her arms about his neck in rap
ture the four walls of the house fell to-
the earth with dull thud. That man
and that woman had been married ten
years! IN. Y. Sun.

SPEAKS ENGLISH WELL.
WO Ting Fang, Chinn's Ambassad dor
to the United states.

The appointment of Wo Ting Fang
as ambassador from China TO the United
States is a departure in the choice of
diplomats sent to this country from
the big Asiatic empire.
Mr.. No is the first such ambassador
able to dispense with an interpreter
even for the most delicate international
negotiations. An American who has
been with Mr.. Wo repeatedly on pleas
ure trips in China says he speaks Eng
lish more fuently than any of the Off
cial Chinese whom he has ever met.
Mr.. Wo can never belong to the high
est class, because he preferred studying
abroad to remaining at home and talk
ing the complicated studies necessary
to attain rank. In spite of that he has
made record unparalleled by any of

and on the other are the Offices. Upon
occasions of entertainments, these
rooms will make very handy cloak
rooms and avoid the climbing of an ex-
ira flight of steps by the guests. The
stairs and hall are carpeted in vivid
crimson. On the main floor there is a
large drawing-room at the left, the
music room adjoining it in the rear,
and across the hall the sitting-room,
library, and dining-room. These last
have a sunny aspect, facing both the
east and the south. The house is now
robed in summer dress, which, with the
outside awnings, indicate its comfort
able arrangement for warm weather
occupancy.
The drawing-room has green tints on
the walls, and with the dainty furni-
ture covering makes an ideal summer
parlor. The music room, adjoining, is
in pale yellow tints. The floors are COW
cred by fine rugs. A grand piano and
an upright, with mandolins, guitars
and other musical instruments, are
most conspicuous in it's furnishings and
portray the musical taste of the fam
lily. The paintings on the walls of all
the rooms on the main floor are the
most valued parts of its ornamental
treasures. They have been brought on
from the Detroit home of the Ayers,
and represent many of the most pleas
ing examples of modern artists. Here
and there in the various rooms are eX-
quisite pieces of fine china, carved
ivory and other bric-a-brac, which
give luxurious home touch to the sur
roundings.

"I was . friend-I am-to you, Miss
Meredith" he impetuously retortcd.
Heaven knows we have no quarrel.
whatever may lie between your father
and me. did not venture my name for
that very reason; it was so sweet TO
meet you again so nearly on the footing
of an old friend. So long as 1 had no
name you thought me n gentleman
you have said so; and for just so long
you accorded me the same measure of
kindness that you might have given to
any other man under the same circum-
stances. 1t was a stolen pleasure, GER
tainly; but il has given me one good
hour to remember out of many bad ones
me, / am sorry; but for the thing it

Il shall not pretend to be sorry in the
least. am glad of it, and always shall
be, whatever you have to say, Miss Mere
dith."
The girl rode on for couple of min
utes in silence, with little scornful air
of ignoring his existence; then, as
though of sudden bethinking herself,
she looked around, her checks flaming
red, her eyes shining with a brightness
which seemed perilously akin TO tears.
II suppose it would be a waste of time
TO discuss the point of honor in the
case" she said, tartly. "And / am sure
need not trouble you to come any
farther, Mr.. - Neil" bringing out the
name with evident disrelsh.
"All right" he acquiescently re-
joined, checking his horse at once.
But wish we could part friends,
Miss Meredith"
"Ah, we can never be friends-never!
Can you not see that?"
There was an odd flash in Harvey
Neil's eyes as he leaned forward, intent
ly regarding her averted face for an in
slant, and his voice was eXquisitely gen
tie as he impetuously exclaimed: Il be-
lieve you are almost as sorry to say
that, Miss Meredith, as 1 am to hear
you. And if that is so, we are friends,
in spite of everything"
"Never!" she vehemently retorted,
giving the horse n smart touch with the
whip; and without another word she
dashed away down the hill, leaving him
looking blankly after her.

English university and studied law in
England. He also took up international
relations. On his return to his native
land he settled in Hong Kong, and was
the first native lawyer to practice there.
Mr.. Wo attained celebrity in his profess
sion and was also so fortunate as to
acquire fair amount of money by his
law practice.
He was one of the representatives of
China who acted with Ii Hung Chang
in the making of the Chinese-Japanese
treaty. He was appointed special am
bassador for the episode of its ratifica-
ton, and now has been sent TO this
country. Mr.. Wo is regarded as great
Asiatic, and the choice of n man
of so modern n mind and education is
n distinct compliment to this country.
BY some il is regarded as the outcome
of Prince LIS observations when in this
country. From the inside comes in
formation that his appointment had
been determined upon before Ii even
left China. ard il is known that the
wise old statesman made many in
quiries, even mentioning Mr.. Wo in such
a way as TO emphasize the importance
of this new appointment. Mr.. Wo Is
