No laughing young sisters came 10
talk over the great event with her;
no gentle, loving mother folded her III
hes' arms and prayed heaven to piess
her in her new life; no. Laughing
bright. fond SCHOOL friends were there
as companions; she was quite alone
her heart aching and burning with
new sense Of desolation and loneh-
ness. Her wedding day! Her toilet
table was laden with jewels; her
fiance had BEEN lavish in his presents;
no duchess had more elegant or costly
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS she would nave
given ALL sho thought, for some one
to love and comfort her. Her wedding
day! Yet he had not been; he had sent
40 note with the flowers, only his caru
and his compliments; there was no
promise of the love that was to come
after marriage, not one kindly woru
to allay her doubts or her fears'
There could be no picture more touch-
ing than this of the lonely girl WIN

turned to them as she would nave
turned to a living creature; her lover
who on the morrow was to be her nus
band, had not been near, but he mad
sent the flowers, and in her forlorn
fashion she had fancied she should
get some comfort from them.
But they revealed nothing to her'
The costly blossoms lay cold, fragrant,
without meaning. AS she stood hold
ing them there came into her mind
story she had read of young girl on
her wedding eve-a girl who had stolen
out in the sweet, soft starlight to meet
her lover by the garden gate. She
remembered that the story told how
che gallant young lover had kissed his
bride-kissed her lips and, her hands,
calling her by every sweet name
lover could invent-how they had
stood under the starlight amongst the
trees and the fiowers--how full OF
hope and happiness the young lover
went away, and was never seen again.
She thought of this story now Her
face flushed; her heart beat. she

Hildred was alone with her husband
at last. Now surely he would say
something to her-speak to her OF mat
love that he must feel for her; mel
would not keep up the same indlner-
ence now she was his wife. The words
that she thirsted for, that she longed
to hear, he would surely utter; sure
iy he would bend over her and say
something, were it only the two words
my wife"
What were his first words? She
had thought Of many things that ne
might say to her--sweet, tender words,
the reality was far different. he
leaned back with an air Of utter weari-
ness.
II never remember to have found
time pass so slowly in my life" he
said THE sun is very warm-would
you like the carriage-hood raised?'
She made no answer. He did not
even seem to notice 1t.
II WISH" he said, some one would
bring in bill for the abolition OF we'd
ding breakfasts"
Her face flushed with anger.
He was so far from understanding
her that he laughed. The pain in her
face did not reach him.
do you like being on the sea at
night?" he inquired, after long
pause.
II hardly know my own likes and
dislikes yet" she replied. why do
you ask?"
Because the boat leaves Dover for
Calais about eleven, and l thought we
would take it.
LAS you please" she replied.
Her face was quite pale, her lips
were white and pressed firmly togeth-
er. In her heart was sense of desc
lation that words could not describe.
He wondered at her silence, her grav-
ity 1t was the height of the season
at Dover, and the band was playing on
the pier. He sat with his wife in the
dining-room of the Lord Warden, when
he saw her suddenly start as though
she were frightened. She covered her

her. It was her wedding day, and
she was about to marry the handsome,
indifferent earl, who stood by her side.
All that had passed before seemed like
q dream. The sunshine had awakened
her. There came confused vision OF
maids in waiting, of silk and lace,
Jewels and flowers. She had heard her
own maid Amice say;
Poor young lady, it is hard to have
neither mother nor sister,
Lady Richie had swept into the, room,
and had admired the beautiful we'd
ding dress. The only sensation that
Hildred had had was one of cold, sick
faintness. When she was dressed her
father had kissed her and said:
You will make a beautiful countess,
Hildred.'
She had thought the morning might
bring her some token of her lover-a
note or present-something to remind
her of him; but it did not, and her
heart misgave her sorely. Then, after
a long drive, she found herself in the
fashionable church of st. Georges
Hanover Square. There was a string
of carriages outside; the church wa
crowded with spectators.
Amidst the throng, the odor o.
flowers, the rustic of silk. the gleam'
ing of satins, the shining of rare gems
with the white-robed minister before
her and the handsome earl by hel
side, she realized the fact that it wa

THE worst possible thing for man
to do when cares Cypress him." SAID
Mr.. Gratebar, sis to NOPE; to sit down
and think it over. If there is any
thing on earth that will mildew a man
and make him good for nothing, that's
It. What he wants is activity; to KEEP
moving. If he can't work, or thinks
he can't let him get out and take a
walk and start his circulation. It's
amazing what a little fresh air and ex-
ercise will, do for a man. Keep NOV
ing and the first thing you know you'll
find yourself whistling, or humming a
tune, and then you laugh to yourself a
little and go back and go to work"

The Kansas railroads are now wrest-

fee law only allows them actual expen-
ses paid while conveying prisoners to
the penitentiary or in making other
trips on official business, They cam
not therefore now charge mileage If
they have passes and would not be
benefited by carrying passes. The
roads are figuring on giving them
transportation for personal business
but not for official business.

of Great Interest.
Miss Sarah Eliot Newman addressed
the Associated Alumnae OF the Normal Col
lege Of New York yesterday afternoon in
thr college chapel on Music ana the Child"
a subject OF " hich she has made a special
study.
No sound which child hears, even
when IL is an infant in its mothers arms,
is uniulportant," said Miss Newman. 1t
has been SHOWN by scientific experiment
that the slightest noise nas IN effect upon
the train, even though one IS unconscious
OF il. The element Of mete. acts directly
on the heart. Major music quiekens the
pulse and minor music lessons il. Differ
eRi keys have different moral effects. b
fiat major expresses purity and innocence,
ami is one particularly suit able for young
children.
Music heard in childhood produces
conduct memories and If its influence
b. good, the memories will ounteract tie
effect OF music OF a cont rary nature heard
in later life.''
st the conclusion of the lecture. DIR.
Emily j. Conant. who was presiding. re-
mark ed that it seemed to her that a good
mother or teach in these days had to
know. everything music. science, art and
literature. Then she asked if Miss New
man could explain the fondness of chill
dren for common and often vulgar tunes.
Miss Newman replied that il was the
energizing accents that they liked, a nd that
if good music with like accent were
presented to them, they would in time
prefer it.
