Aubrey de We're gives, in his "Recol
lections," an account of meeting, in
Switzerland one Of those travellers who
make it a point of honor to see moth
ing so good as what they find at home.
This man was an Irishman, with
whom patriotism was so truly a mania
that every word in praise of the seem
cry about him seemed a distinct as
persion on the land of his birth. What
can you compare here" he demanded,
with the mountains of Wicklow"
Perhaps" said traveller, lone might

range" "Oh," he replied, scornfully,
they're out of all reason! | am after
walking along the Chamouni valley for
three days, and only saw four of those
mountains. Sure, in Wicklow I'd have
counted as many as eight of them in
three hours!" Have you seen this

of us?" II have not seen it, and / am
not going to see it. Didn't / see the

it plunges, laundering and believing,
sometimes black as ink, and sometimes
white as milk dashing itself against
the right-hand rocks and smashing it
self against the left-hand rocks. What
is your Handeck Falls compared to
that?" Some persons would say" was
the reply, that the waterfall here is
a.

added note of scorn, then the O'Sulli-

And tell me this now: Couldn't you

Trial Too Short.

George L. White, young man, was
before Judge Slower, in the Circuit
court, recently, asking for a divorce
from Margaret White. They were
married last March and lived together
a month.
why do you wish a divorce?" asked
the judge.

"How do you know you could not?'
''Why, tried it,"
"You tried it for a month";"
Eyes, sir"
"You did not live together long
enough to find out if you could get
along"
81 did find ont, judge. She went to
matinees and baseball games and
wouldn't do the homework or put up
my luncheon when l went to work"

why like church," he asked, with
some amusement.
Because one of the best sermons l
have ever heard has been preached to
me here" she replied. II have learn
ed a lesson here. / shall never see
these high ivied walls or touch a Grim
son carnation without thinking of
you, Raoul, and all that you have
said"
Then he watched her as she went
from one bed of mignonette to anoth-
er, looking eagerly for the choicest
sprays, holding them up to him with
wistful, eager face and sweet, pathet-
ic eyes.
"Will this do, and this?" she asked
as simply as a child. "Oh Raoul, hope
he will not be angry hope
he will be pleased! 1 shall tell you
how l get on. I am nervous about
it,"
In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared. and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
"a man might lay down his life for
such a woman as that" he said, with
what was almost a sigh.
Lord Caraven stood in the billiard
room at Ravensmere; he had been
playing with one of his friends, who,
having received a telegram, had gone
to answer it. He stood alone, leaning
carelessly against the open veranda,
something more than his usual indif
ference darkening his face; he never
liked interruption during a game.
"A most unpropitious moment"
thought the young countess. as she
caught sight of him; but, having CIV
en- her word to Sir Raoul, she would
have marched up to the mouth of
loaded cannon rather than have brok-
en- it.
Looking up, the earl could not but
confess that he had seldom seen
lovelier picture than his young wife at
that moment presented, with a flush
on her face, and her hands filled with
sprays of fragrant mignonette.
She would not reveal her hesitation,
but went straight to him. smiling so
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
TO happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in a soft,
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.
"There" said laughing voice. you
said this morning that this was your
favorite flower. I have been looking
for the most fragrant sprays OF I. that

it, and she meant it.
'"Then this is what suggest. It was
about a spray of mignonette that you
displeased Uric last. Gather some
beautiful sprays of it, the finest you
can obtain, and take them to him. Say
quite carelessly. You admire mignon-
cite, so have brought you this "
Aud suppose" said Hidred, that
he repays me in kind by throwing it
away?"
Never mind-courage and patience
must be your watchwords. All, Hildred.
after all, our likes and dlslikes should
have little to do with our duties! You
will not be alone in your struggles; I
shall watch over you, shall help you,
and sympathy is sweet"
She caught his hand and kissed It.
He saw her face clear and bright
earnest light shine in her eyes.

She glanced at him, her beautiful face
full of perplexity; she had gathered
crimson carnation, and was holding 1t
between her slender fingers.

fact that l dislike him should compel
me to speak well of him. love a noble

''If you were a foe at ALL you would
be a noble one" he said; "but you
ore not. You may speak frankly, be-
cause you are speaking to one who
loves Uric Caraven in spite of his
faults. Tell me honestly all about
your dislike"
She was silent for some minutes,
and the crimson leaves of the Glove
carnation fell one by one to the ground.
II do not like speaking of it," she
began. "You must see, Raoul, as well
as l do-you must understand. How
could any one help despising and dis
liking a man who lives for himself,
who cares for nothing but his own

Who Would Not BE a Dancer?


(After Alfred Austin.)
Who would not be a dancer?
Those great skirts
In galaxies OF glory lifted high
By tapering fingers of a lily hand,
In whlrls of active splendor to and fro,
Gauze-like, but not transparent, so can
thrill
With their voluptuous folds the hearts OF
men,
To leap. to kiss those softly-rounded
cheeks,
And press that Observation-Disclosures airy
waist.
Charmed by that ample figure so to
All who to them were dearest, to embrace
Beauty and breadth that evermore were
twin.
Whirling there and whirling here.
Rosy CLEANS at times appear;
Such as bring, / grieve to speak.
Rosy blush to rosy cheek.
Rosy limbs are archly shown,
Not thy rosy face alone.
Take the gift of love, and wear
Rosy fiowerets in thy hair.
Who would not be dancer?
And with her
10 dance, who, whether on the illumined
stage,
or in the DINNER lime-lights. as she bids:
lnclines the untiring instep far above
The glittering floor, one hazy silver cloud
OF waving mist, so that our longing eyes,
Zen, as 1t were. enwrapt in rapture, see
ldealistic ease and perfect pose
In whitest wealth of circling draperfes.
Thus we despise the past, and madly long
To break the binding links of other
chains,
And, deaf to every voice but hers, caress
Beauty and breadth that evermore were
twin.

band to rouse him from his Slough Of
Despond into a higher life"
She was looking at him in sheer Won
der.
How can I influence Lord Cara
ven?" she asked.
"You can do it by patience and per-
severance. Say to yourself that the
task Of your life shall be to make him
a good man. Instead of running away
from it, devote yourself to 1t. There
is much said of woman's mission-let
that be yours, and surely there can be
no higher or holier mission than to
rouse an indolent man to a sense Of his
duty, selfish man from his self-in-
diligence"
But how could I do it, Raoul?" she
asked.
"You could do it in some fashion.
The well-being-nay, the very souls Of
men lie in women's hands. Here is a
lifelong task for you-a glorious mis-
sion, a noble work. Give your life to
your husband-to the task of awaken
ing him to a sense Of his duties-to the
task OF making him a good man and a
useful member of society, a consclen-
tious steward of great wealth, a just
landowner; teach him how to be kind
and just and merciful, help him to lead
fair and noble life. Could any wo-
man wish for a more glorious task than

that he will love you in the end-that

you not foresee it, Hildred?" And an
almost sanity enthusiasm shone on his
face
1T is possible, Raoul, but"
NAY, be brave. You must not even
think of the word but You must be
enthusiastic over it-nothing can be
done without enthusiasm. You must
give yourself up to it, as a mission
airy does to the conversion of the
heather; as martyr does to his DEATH
You must work for it, live for it, die
for it. Have you the courage and the
constancy for this, Hildred?"
The light was deepening on her face
the fire in her eyes. The passion of
his words was beginning to tell upon
her.
"I have both the courage and the
constancy," she replied.
Think of the difference in the end
ing" he said. Imagine the earl on
his deathbed, tortured by the ghosts
of those whom he has neglected, by
the ghosts of duties left undone, ready
to curse the young wife who, by flying
from him and leaving him to his own
devices, had FASTENED his ruin, body
and soul-picture that. Then fancy to
yourself the earl on his death-bed

man who saved him from ruin, who
woke his soul from its long sleep. who

He smiled gravely.
