really love wall that in all his days

fair to her and easiest for all would be
an open one.
They sat together on the shady side
of low hill, late one day.
Constance he said, I'm going to
ask your father to let you marry me,

The bright color faded from her

cried.
She still said nothing whatever.
"Are you, Constance?"

"Then why did you get so pale?"
II don't know. Did I?''
She cried little and said she was
very happy and that she would marry
him, even if her father would not con-
sent. But don't ask him till after
the races, will you?"

Why?"

He didn't see her again before the
races. She sent him note saying that
she did not dare to meet him, that her
father had forbidden the long rides
alone. She would wear his colors mt
the track. For Lovat was to ride. So
were several of the officers. 1t was n
gentleman's race. The cup was given
by the garrison women.
Lovat won it. He and the officers
went into Miles City to rejoice. Some
were in n blackboard. some, with their
wives, in the ambulances, most were
on horseback. He, rode with these lat
ter and watched Miss Chamberlain, who
was ahead on the road riding with Lieut..
Carret. She had not worn his colors;
though, to be sure, she had worn none
at all. Loyat had kept studiously away
from the post women all day, but just
once he had passed close to Constance.
"Will you meet me tomorrow at the
old place, dear?" he said, quietly.
She did not raise her eyes or seem TO
notice him; but she answered.: Yes,

"Why, yes. l should think So"

So the ambulances stopped at Stew

lain and Garret waited, too. Garret was
"a temperance man and very good. Lovat
filled the cup with champagne and sent
it out with his compliments and thanks.
He felt just a bit bitter as he did so. He
watched Constance from an open win
dow. She did not see him, and when the
cup came to her she rejected it with
disdan. She was playing TO Garret
now. Lovat heard her say: II don't
drink wine Mr.. Garrett, more especially
when it comes from a man like Mr.
Lovat."

M. Potter. The latter he married
at Whitehall, n. V, Feb. 9, 1893.

AS between Speaker Reed and
Jerry Simpson perhaps the majority
of the people would rather see the
speaker triumph, but the recent con-
fest in the house demonstrates again
the autocratic powers and the auto
cratic tendencies OF the presiding
officer of the lower house. The
business of the house will be at a
standstill for the next few weeks ;
Speaker Reed has said so, and hard
ly a Republican vote was cast
against him--the members, what
ever their private opinions We're,
no daring to losing a chance of Sc
curing good committee places by Of

"The house of representatives for
the next few weeks will be practi-
cally the same thing as Thomas b.

members must go to the chamber
twice week for the sake of voting
to adjourn for another three days,

in its troubles developed few days
ago when an attachment WAS pat
upon the property by the Berlin
Bridge company to secure Il debt OF
$4,000. There are various opin.
ions, however, as to whether the at.
tachment will hold, many believing
that the bonds already ISSUED by the

the Berlin Bridge company has re.

the company has some ground tor
believing that its attachment will

Probably more than half of the

no charter for operation on the New
Hampshire side accounts in part for
the difficulty in disposing of ITS
bonds. AS was evidenced during
the construction of the Brattlehoro

a way out of all difficulties, and with
several possible buyers in the field it
is likely that the sale Of the property
and the completion of the road will
