 He watched her face intently, as if to read the effect which his words would produce. The light in his eyes was almost tender; but Agnes was not skilled in reading their scarcely per- ceptible shades of expression. She looked up inquiringly, noting only the slight hesitation in her fathers speech.
 About a young man. continued Murdocl1, with a quizzical smile.
 A flush mounted to the girls cheeks, and she fixed her eyes upon space.
 "A young man who admires you greatly, and who-'
 Has he asked you to tell me this?7 inquired Agnes, somewhat imPatiently.
 "Oh! dear no,' laughed the chemist; The is only too anxious to do so him. self. He is a most impetuous fellow. But I thought it best to prepare you"
 May I ask the name of your pro- tege?" interrupted the young girl.
 Did I say he was my protege?" asked Murdock, gently. 'I certainly had no intention of conveying any such impression. His name is Chat ham-Thomas Chatham.'
 A look, half of amusement, half of veNation, came into the girls eyes. It did not escape Murdocks close scrutiny.
 II judge from your reception of the gentleman's name, that his suit is not likely to meet with much favor in your eyes,"
 II am not aware that I have ever given MT. Chatham any reason to be- lieve that it would," answered Agnes, stiffiy.
 And yet you must have understood the drift of his attentions during the last few months, since"
 ''Since it has been perfectly clear to every one else, you mean?
 And yet, the young girl continued, reflectively, q do not see how, with out downright rudeness, I could have done more than I have to show him that his attentions have been distastc- full to me-
 Then I may infer," said MurdocR, smiling. that you would not break your heart if-''
 He seemed to hesitate in the choice of his words.

 On the contrary, father" admitted Agnes, II should be everlas tingly grateful to you if such consumma- tion could be brought about without unnecessary rudeneSS or cruelty to- wards Mr. Chatham.''
 ''Nery well, Agnes, that is all want ed to see you about.'
 Agnes looked curiously at h CT ia ther, as Ii to read the purpose hidden in the depths of his inscrutable eyes, She saw nothing but a polite dismissal in his calm face; and the interview be- tween father and daughter ended, as it had begun, with formal courtesy on both sides.
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-23

Not word of affection had passed between father and daughter; not caress mad been interchanged. The re- lations between this impassive man and his charming daughter were those of well-bred, if somewhat distant, rela tives. On the one hand there was the uniform courtesy of the man of the world toward a woman; on the other, the difference of a young girl of good breeding toward q person much older than herself. But the note of cordial and intimate affection between father md child was absolutely missing.
 And yet Agnes Murdock was natural ly of an affectionate and expansive na- ture. During her mothers lifetime the two women had been inseparable com panions. united by strong bond of sympathy.
 Mrs. Murdock had been an invalid for many years before her death and with Agnes had lived either abroad or in the south Curing: much of the time in order to escape the rieors of the Eortnern climate. Thus the father en- groased as he was with his occupati tions and his scientific researches, had seen but little of his daughter during her
 
 the child almost as a stranger.
 When at last, after her mothers death, Agnes, heartbroken at the loss of her only friend, returned to the par ental roof, she was a girl of 16. In the first loneliness of her bereavement, when, hungering for human sympathy and consolation, she turned to her fla ther, she received patient and cour- teous attention, with an offer of all the material cosRforts and luxuries which wealth could procure; but she failed to find the only thing she needed "a responsive human heart.
 And yet, behind the cold and selfish exterior of the chemist. the young girl had touched a chord which had never vibrated before in this strange mans being. It is probable that the feeling awakened in him by his lovely daughter was the nearest approach to an absorb ing human affection of which his nature was capable. Perhaps if the child had been sufficiently experienced to read her fathers heart she might have per- sisted in her advances. and thus ulti- mately have conquered the cold reserve she had at first encountered. But she was proud and impulsive, and, bitterly in her first attempt to win from her father demonstration Sf affection, sine withdrew into her iso-

LONGEVITY OF VARIOUS RACES
At Twenty the American's Expecta. ton of Life Is Longer Than
 Other NationaIities.

It has often been remarked that while nothing is so uncertain as the duration of any given human life, nothing is more certain than the ag- gregate of years which may be as- signed to a group of 100 persons or more at any particular age. The ex. pectation of life at a given age, to use the actuarial phrase, differs con- siderably, as might be expected, in different countries, and Englishmen may be surprised to learn that they are not the longest lived among the white races. At the age of 20, says the Lon don Globe, an Englishman in average health may expect to live AZ years: and any life office will grant him pol icy based on that probability. The Hmerican's expectation is for a slight ly longer period. On the other hand German lad of 20 can count upon lit. tie more than 39A years. It would seem, therefore, that the restlessness attributed to the American tempera- ment does not necessarily conduce to the shortening of life, nor the compo- sure of the German to it's prolonga- ton. Possibly the better feeding and clothing of Americans in the lower classes of the population is the princi- pal cause of their greater longevity. Their position is; at any rate, main tained in later as well as in earlier years. The American who has reached 90 may look to complete 14 years more While the Britisher's expectation is only about 13 years and ten months. and the Germans as nearly as possible l2 months less Roth a % and G0 the Frenchman's prospect is little better than the Germans and a little worse than the Englishman's.
