once more in USE Hildred was slightly
overwhelmed BY the magniicence of ev-
erything around. How little she dream
ed that her fortune had preserved the
grand old place from utter ruin-that but
for her the massive plate, the beautiful
pictures, even the old walls themselves,
would have passed from the Caravens,
and the family name would have been
written in dust? Perhaps some such
thought occurred to him as he looked at
the sweet face before him; perhaps that
thought made him feel little more kindly
toward Hildred.
He talked to her, and showed her the
various art treasures, the costly pictures,
the statues, the ancient armor. She was
pleased and bright and interested in all
he said. He showed her the library,
where the accumulated treasures of SO
many scholars lay. When she had seen
and admired all, he said to her:
eff all these were on the verge of de-
struction, and one woman came forward
to save it, what would you call her?'
Il should call her the good angel of the
house." she replied, not having the least
idea that he was referring to her.
'That shall be my name for you,'" he
said. ''You shall be the good angel of the
house."

Decentralization of telegraph service

be sent from the main offices to outlying

not so badly hampered. But the havoc
wrought among the wires was not the only
trouble that was met by the railroads.

trains and added an element of danger

An Old Bachelors Error.

A middle-aged bachelor tells how he
was once engaged to be married, and
how the course of true love was, in his
case, interfered with by a talkative
parrot.
He writes:
II was once engaged to a young lady
who resided with her maiden aunt.
was very fond of my sweetheart, and
though she was a gay and sprightly
young thing I never doubted her con-
stancy.
Zone day, however, I called at the
house, and while waiting fer my loves
appearance 1 made overtures to the
aunt's parrot, whose cage hung in the
room.
Polly, however, cooked her head on
one side and eyed me very slspiciously,
then said solelnnly, Get away, Charlie
my name being Harry, 1 wondered
who Charlie was. Polly went on: How
dare you, Charlie. you naughty boy.
Chuck. Cluck! You do ruffie my hair So
'.Then, after pause, If you kiss me
again III be cross
THAT was enough. She was false.
I took my hat and stick, went straight
home and wrote somewhat sarcastic
letter to my tiancee, and straightway
the match was off

body's establishment, married, and To-!
