a comparative stranger, should claim
more than the friendship accorded him.
He would undoubtedly have gone
back to business with his love untold
had he not Unexpectedly come upon
Belle in the little vine-covered summer
house one morning with woe-begone
expression and traces of tears upon her
fair face. She hastily explained that
she had been indulging In a fit of lone
liness at the thought Of her brothers
return, but the look and blush which
accompanied her words gave him new
couarge, and, taking both her hands
in his, he asked:
May l hope, Belle, that you will
miss me little, too, when l am gone?
Forgive me for speaking so soon, but
you have become dear to me- and 1 am
conceited enough to believe that you
like me. Tell me, darling that you can,
in time, care for me-, and 1 will try to
be worthy Of your dear loye."
Whatever her answer may have been,
suffice it to say that when they emerg-
ed from their secluded nook an hour
later their faces bore evidences of their
new-found happiness,
"By the way, Belle, have not yet
met your friend, Matilda Brindle. Does
she not live in Castone"
Belle stopped short in her walk and
looked at him. Then you are"

Paul went to Burton's room, and see

the sweet face spoke volumes.-Boston

carefully noted a spiders consumption
Of food in twenty-four hours concluded
that If the spider were built proportions
ately to the human scale he would eat
at daybreak approximately a small
alligator, by Z q. IN. n lamb, by 8

a sheep, and would finish up with a
lark pie in which there were 100 birds.
Yet in spite of his enormous appetite
spider has wonderful power Of re.
framing from food, and one has been
known to live ten months when abso.
lutely deprived Of food. A beetle lived
in a similar state Of unrefreshment for
three years.
