They came face to face-she had
planned it so-and her slight gesture
of surprise was perfect. "Mr. Maxwell
you? Is it possible"
"How do you do, Mrs. Jernyngham
/" He was going to say he was
pleased to meet her, but decided
not to.
II did not know you were in Dieppe
Have you been here long"
81 have been here, with my wife
about a month" he answered.
with your wife? Really" She
gave a faint smile-a smile he remem
bered very well. $50 you are married
am 1 to congratulate you?"
Thank you" he said; you are very
kind. Your husband is"
Hes dead; so don't inquire about
his health. You were always making
blunders Of that sort" She laughed
81 used to correct you in that fashion
long ago, didn't 1? You see, / haven't
changed. Well, we'll, well, and Sc
you're married? I told you you'd
marry-you didn't believe me then!'
"Ah, but you were right"
"Of course l was right. Shan't we
sit down?-or won't your wife let
you? say, are you henpecked? You
used to be the sort of boy who'd be
henpecked. Perhaps you've improved
since those days"
She leaned forward, and fixed her
eyes on him in just the manner he
used to find so irresistible. Somehow
it seemed less ~distracting now. The
eyes had not altered perhaps, but her
face was older, and that expression
looked out of place on it.. There was
even a sadness to him in beholding
the change that time had wrought in
her. The woman whose memory had
thrilled him so was gone. He had
thought about her so much, and now
she did not exist. 1t vas pathetic,
and-what was more painful still
this wreck of Nora Jernynham could
not join with him in mourning fI
her. He wept alone.
you are not glad to see mel" she
said.
He IA not; he was sorry. His very
soul was full Of regret, of sympathy.
But he could not tell her so, and he
listened for ten minutes ~courteously
to her distressing provocations, her
disheartening pleasantries. Then he
rose.
She would not make a conquest OF
him again, she knew it perfectly; he
had escaped from her chariot wheels
for all time.
Then l suppose this is the last time
you will be likely to see me ?" she said,
shaking hands in good-by.
II suppose So" he answered. But
to himself he said that the last time
he had wei seen her had been nine
years ago.
Mrs. Maxwell looked up inquiringly
as he returned to her.
"Amuse yourself, d~earest?" she said,
.innocently.
81 shall be amused tomorrow" re-
piled Maxwell, when I can laugh at
myself! Tonight, somehow, l can-
not"
And Mrs. Maxwell. understanding,
was content.-Black and White.

She had never been more bewitch-
ing or coquettish in their courtship
than she was during that evening.
Far more plainly than the man him
self she realized that she had a rival
though it might be only a memory
and she put forth all her forces to
a%nnihilate her, Beautiful, doubtless?
Jack would never have been captured
by a woman who was not good look
ing. And a woman of the world also?
Jack hated schoolgirls! "Neverthe-
less" unused Mrs. Maxwell, contem.
plating her reflection complacently in
one of the mirrors of the gaming
rooms, 81 think l ought to be capable
of holding my own against the lady,
/ really do"
The wrong horse came in again, and
again, undeterred by i'll fortune, she
drew a ticket from the bowl.
As she lifted her head she felt her
husband beside her give a galvanic
start. The next instant, following
the direction of his gaze, she knew
the woman.
Plain" she meditated; ~"evidently
fallen off! Now, l wonder if she has
charm of n enough to make him
lose sight of that, or if l dare venture
on a heroic course?"
my darling, don't you think we've
played this idiotic game long
%enough?" said Jack in a strained
voice. LET us go into the terrace"
So he could not even trust himself
in the same room with her, couldn't
he? 1t was too bad; really, it was
humiliating.
you go, dearest" replied Mrs.
Maxwell, sweetly. 81 know you hate
to be here, and l am much too in
fatuated to leave off yet myself. Go
and smoke your cigar in peace and the
fresh air, and come back for me when
you've finished it. l shall be perfect
ly safe, and l mean to break the
bank!'"
Jack departed o~bediently, and out
Of the tail Of her eve his wife watched
the other oma take note of it.
"Now, will she follow him or not?"
she asked herself. Not just yet,
suppose-it would be too marked.
Patienza!"
1t wal ten minutes later when Mrs.
Jernygham sauntered carelessly from
her place at the table out through
the glass door, and Mrs. Maxwell
clasped her hands in her lap with sud
den nervousness. After all it was a
heroic course. Had she been rash and
foolhardy? There was moonlight out
side, and the tapping of waves. Fatal
adjuncts to such a matter! In the
moonlight, too, the creatures appear
ance would be softened and refined.
She had made a mistake, perhaps
she had placed him in temptation she
would have avoided. Should she join
him-rescue him, while there was still
time? No! She would not, she would
stand her chance. Moonlight or no
moonlight, she would risk it. y y n
Two francs more-and the devil take

said; SAT ,ne battle of Far Oaks
when the fury of the fight was on,
a captain in confederate brigade
stopped down and plucking a wild
rose at his feet, placed it IN his
hat band. After the battle he sent

lady planted it and it grew and

Married to her soldier lover the
lady came to Kansas and bringing
with her slip of the rose, plant

It perfumes the atmosphere with its
blossoms. That captain is now a
popular senator, W. A. Harris and
just as the rose, forgetful OF the
smoke of battle and its Virginia

so do southern soldiers who have
come among US, like the senator,
forget old animosities and the lost
cause and help US to make Kansas

Last week by vote of 433 to 23S
the NJ. E. general conference at
Chicago abolished the time limit
of pastorates thus doing away with
one of the fundamental features of
the itinerant system of the demon.
NATION. Hereafter, according to
the amendment to the discipline
adopted by the conference, preach
ers will be appointed annually by
the bishops, with no limit upon the
number of years a pastor may
serve one congregation, except the
limit imposed by his own ability
and popularity with his congregat
ion. He will still be a pilgrim and
a stranger, but now may tarry
longer than 5 years.
