CHAPTER ".

The picture of the gloomy house, the
bare. ribbed sand, the dull gray sea- went
with Lady Hilda from the old life to the
new; went with her to the end of her
days. She stood Oh the morning of her
departure from Hurst Sea, bidding fare
we'll to the sea, her only living friend.
The journey from Hurst Sea to London
was Lady Hlda's first experience in life
This was the world tilcn-Hashing bright,
gay of music and perfume full of color
and warmth, full of laughter and song
this was the world she had dreamed of in
her gray. silent home.
Then they reached London. and it was
we'll for Lady Darers peace of mind that
surprise and astoniShment had made the
young girl speechless. The vast size of
the great city. the crowds of people. the
endless line of lights, all bewidered her
and struck her dumb. Lady Darel began
to congratulate herself on having taught
her charge something of good manners at
last She mad seen London. yet had no
questions to ask.
Another week and Lady Hilda began to
grow accustomed to her new life. Lady
Darcl would have everything Ell regle for
her. She purchased q very pretty and eH-
tensive wardrobe for her; she hired a
fashionable lady's maid, thinking little
and caring less for the torture this must
intEct on her protege; she purchased Il
horse and insisted that she should take
riding lessons.
She worked as few girls work. In after
life she called this her transition year.
She passed from a lonely, miserable child
hood into gay and brilliant girlhood. She
was industry itself: she rose and worked
until it was late. She studied music and
drawing she took lessons in dancing.
Even Lady. Darel, so difficult to please,
was compelled to praise her, and say that
she was doing well.
One by one the s,onths passed, and the
great hope of her life had not come to her
no one loved her. She was urged al
ways by Lady Darel to remain i'll the
drawing room wher visitors came, so she
made many friends but they were simply
acquaintances of the hour She liked some
of them and disliked others: but no one
had said yet, Il love you, Hilda." Yet
day by day, this longing for love increas-
ed. Between herself and Lady Darel
there came an armed peace-as for ex-
pecting love from that proud and stately
lady. she never ventured to think of it.
The only person she had seen yet whom
she felt inclined to love was the man
whom her fathers will compelled her to
marry. She had never seen him since
they parted On the sands at Hurst Sea.
He had written to Lady Darel, telling her
rhat he had gone to join some friends on
cruise to Norway, that he did not expect
to return until the year was ended, then
he should decide whether he would go to
Australia or remain in England. Os enc

Some idea Of our cosmopolitan citi.
zeiship may be derived from the fact
that within the limits of the United
States there ar. newspapers written iD
twenty four different languages.
Included among these Language are
the French, German, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, Russian, Swedish. Nor
wegian, Greek, Slavonic. Chinese. Ho-
henian, Polish. hungarian, Dutch, Az
manian, Welsh, Hebrew. Arabic. Dar.
ish, says the Atlanta Constitution. Of
all these various tongues there ara
mere newspapers printed in German
than in any other language, excep!,
of course, the English. Indeed, there is
hardly a State i'll the Union which does
not boast OF a German newspaper,
While in such States as New York and
Ohio there are eGane twenty-five or
thirty.
Next in number and extent OF circu.
'ation to the German newspapers coma
the French Most of these are PUBLISH.
cd in New York, San Francisco and
New Orleans, although many are found
in the smaller towns and cities CT the
country, especially in Louisiana AS
to the various other languages, there
are five newspapers printed in Portu-
guese, sixteen in Spanish, seven in Skl-
yonic, four i'll Welsh, eleven in Nor
wegian, eighteen in Dutch, two in Ital-
ian and twelve in Hebrew.
One Armenian newspaper is publish
ed in New York city, where quite q
large number of Armenian enli;g5..ants
have recently located. OF Bohemian
newspapers there are five published in
this country, two in New York, two in
Chicago and one in Cleveland. OF Dan
ish newspapers there are three. one
il Omaha, one in Racine, Wis, and Que
in Portland, Ore.
These newspapers do NOT, Of course,
represent all the different nationalitiesl
belonging to our complex population,
nor even the greater number of them.
In a striking manner, however, they
emphasize the diversity of race which
this country presents and make it evil
dent that America is indeed the asylum
Of downtrodden humanity in all parts
of the globe.

CHAPTER III.

Then came the day when the earl, in
accordance with his own wish, expressed
long before he died, was buried in the
churchyard Of Hurst Sea. Few attended

that it was worth at least two hundred

They were interrupted by summons
TO the library, where Mr.. Preston awaited

wealthy engineer, who had set uD a
very fine place in the country, where
he had carried out many pet construct

a curious sight was witnessed the
other day i'll Lenne street, Berlin. A
van heavily laden with baskets con-
tanning bottles OF wine came in contact
with some obstacle and was overturn-
ed. The contents of the van We're
thrown violently onto the asphaltedn

bottle-alld there were several hum

was transformed into veritable river

Strange Worship.

In London is sect which keeps up
the worship Of the Greek divinities,
keeping alive all the rituals with which
the numerous Olympian hierarchy was
of old wont to be invoked and propi-
tiate,t. AT the same time there is a
small select order in Paris which wor-
ships the devil, erecting shrines to the
arch enemy and affairs Lit with his own
ties show that they are in prosperous
condition.

Tough Scorpion.

An English army officer. whose regl-
ment was stationed at Alahabad, was
one morning putting on his boot when
suddenly he felt a sharp prick. He
knew at once what the trouble was.
Within a few days several scorpions
had been seen about the barracks.
Without question one of them had
taken up it's quarters in his boot and
had now stung him.
''Well.' he muttered ''the harm is
done, and l may as we'll kill the crea.
ture. 1t will get away if l take the
boot Oft"
SO he began stamping violently with
a view to crushing the life out of the
scorpion. Every stamp gave him eN
Quisite torture. but he kept bravely at
it till he felt sure the thing must be
dead. Then he pulled off the boot and
was both relieved and yeXed. 1t was
lucky he had not shouted for assist
ance The scorpion was a blackins
brush, which his servant had careless
ly left in the bottom of the boot.

Room for Joy.

The world is full of sorrow; there's plenty
and to spare
OF doleful days and weary W avs. and shad-
ows, here and there;
And many things that fortune brings seem
fashioned to annoy,
But, if we WIFI, well find there still is room
enough for joy.
Within some warm and faithful heart We'll
find Il coy place.
Where we may build a palace filed with
everlasting grace.
And when the frown of care comes down
our sunshine to destroy,
Mid pleasures rare, Wen wander where
there's room enough for joy.
