got one, 1 know, because Sarah True, the dressmaker, said she was making it; fol some reason, she seemed amused about it. :
 Was she?'' Mrs. Ellis frightened the Battenberg mat on the table before she pro ceeded. Well, she'll not be amused wher I've got through with her; I've got to have 1t out with somebody"
 Seems t me, there's more real comfort 1T having thing out with your own husband than with any dressmaker that ever lived, said Mrs. Jordan.
 "There is7-usually." Mrs. Ellis cheeks were red as the paper roses on her mantel piece. Henry and I had a pitch battle over my Easter dress. How was to know that his rheumatism was bad, that he'd lost money in an investment and his typewriter had corrected his spelling the day told him 1 must have 1t!
 "Humph," snapped Miss Towner, "ner say women have no brains and then they expect lem to know everything without be ing told.'
 sSThey do," agreed Mrs. Jordan '1've hinted about Easter dresses myself"
 We said so much that day that we hardly spoke for week afterwards" went on Mrs $ Isi is. sz< hen f made up my Inirad to have that Easter dress, anyhow, and it was easier to be pleasant Henry got pleasant, too, but though he'd had big stroke of luck he never said Easter dress"
 He thought your old one would do; that's all man knows about dress" said Miss Tewner.
 Henry thinks he knows great deal about dress, sighed his wife After we'd how, ought to have my clothes made. We'll, being mad, got real expensive Easter dress without saying word. didn't let Sarah True make it, because was afraid she'd blurt it out to him."
 Then Maria Ellis only jealous, not critical said Mrs. Jordan.
 My dress, a beauty, came home Saturday and was locked in the spare room. Some how, I didn't feel so good, if had my own way. The way that new dressmaker piled on extras in the bill was awful. It looked as if the only thing that wasn't extra was the running up of the seamsl''
 But you wore it to church to-day?'' asked Miss Towner
 'I did not. When it was time for church in walked Henry with big bundle, He looked sort of cheap, and said Say. Elm. here's your Easter dressi'''
 eBut, gasped Mrs Jordan, e.how-''
 That was what I wondered until he opened the bundle, saying, proudly: T knew Ia been mean, 80 l just selected you the handsomest dress money could buy and had 1t made the right way. Ialways knew I had good taste in woman's cIothesl' 2
 But what sort of dress-'
 The kind of you'd love to see the woman you detested most wearing Easter morning" said Mrs. Ellis. But I looked into Henry's happy face, and-well, I felt so mean for the things I'd thought and the thing I'd done that kissed him and wore that dress to church, feeling like cross be- tween martyr and sneak thief But I'll tell Sarah True what I think of her for making thing like thatl" she added, firmly.

so sadly. The captain stopped to say a kind word to Agnes about being a good Samaritan, and added: Do what you can for her and the poor young mother. Her father died a few days ago; he lies in his coffin on this ship. The mother is a con- sumptive and is trying to get home with her baby before she, too, dies and leaves this little creature alone. God bless us! he exclaimed, what troubles some women have to bear," and he was of again like a shot.
 With all the good work of nursing the baby, and being kind to the mother, there was ever uppermost the feeling there is no sorrow like my sorrow" She was very young, and the trouble stayed with her by day, overwhelming her at night. On Easter even a tropical hurricane came laundering down upon them. Sails were carried away, mast was shattered, two sailors were hurt and the winds whistled at their dis tress, whilst the waves threatened to en- gulf the poor old ship. Opiates were given the sick mother and her baby, who, clasped closely in each others arms and strapped in their narrow berth, lay quietly as if in the final sleep between coffin walls
 Agnes, fully dressed, lay mute with ter TOT, listening for the end, whatever it might be, too frightened to cry, too awed to pray. Her open eyes seemed to see her whole life in pictures, which the lightning flashes re- vealed one by one. O, the awfulness of that night, unrelieved by prayer companion ship, till Sophie burst in the door, and kneeling beside the terrified girl, cried: Save us, Lawd, we pe'ish.'' Then tears streamed from the eyes of these two wom- en. White and black they were, but one in spirit, and with clasped hands and gentle sympathy sustained each other till dawn came, bringing sunshine, calm sea and safety.
 It was fully II o'clock before the gong sounded for breakfast that morning. Its first note found Sophie at the door, smiling and saying:
 ssMo'in', Miss Agnes! Chris is risun, and so is wei De cap'en gwine ax blessin' dis mo in'. Come on, missy, yo' don know what yo' might git in de way ob cyards fow's and gif's, dis pressed Yeaster mo in :. ,"
 Nonsense, Sophie, who could send me such things way out here on the great ocean, and after such storm, too ?"
 @<De ways ob Prov 'dence is 'scrutable,,, quoted Sophie, and lifted the portiere for Agnes to enter the saloon. Capt. Le Grand rose at her entrance, as did all the passen- gers, and thrilling prayer of thanksgiving went up in homely seaman fashion, which brought tears to all eyes and hearty, sin amens from every voice
 Gladness followed, and the saloon was full of murmuring voices. Agnes was a little faint from weariness and was trying to get to her seat, when the captain gallantly led her to the chair beside him and placed her in it, saying:
 Well, ladies and gentlemen, we may as well give thanks for all our blessings, and one is, that we have Miss Ducharrne as voyageur. Her presence has brought Easter blessings, indeed, though ships refrig orator has been sorely taxed to preserve them" and he laughed, gayly.
 Agnes looked up, and what mass oi beauty surrounded her. Flowers, fruit.

 swer to the last farewell shout and waving of hats
 As the fog cleared the warm April sun shine beat down on deck, causing passengers and crew to dof all extra apparel, but Agnes shivered and took gloomy view of every thing. It was too bad, went her thoughts; why could not she have finished her visit, and had, what dear old brother Jack called, ther fling" It was hateful of her little in- valid brother Joe to imagine he was going to die, and must have her with him; quite unnecessary in mother to write urging her return, and unpardonable in father to tele- graph: Start for home at once.''
 Such time as she had had calming Jack and Nellie, who were raging at Joe for spoil ing the Easter gayeties; and then the rush to pack up, and write notes of apology, pathetic and incoherent, to the friends who had prepared round of pleasures for her. She had not seen MT. Barlow alone a mo- ment, and now she would probably never see him again. We'll, possibly 1t would be better. If he did not care for her, it were better far he should not know that his face was ever in her thoughts, and that she loved him so tenderly.
 Not that he had ever given her cause for this by one spoken word. Only he-he

books, pictures, dainty little gifts, some Crescent City, with love for Agnea.,' She was bewildered and almost fearful, but true to her training chose choice bud from the lot, and pinning it on the captains blue coat begged the steward to do likewise fol each passenger.
 Sophie came along with square, white package, and importance written on every line of her face.
 "'Scuse me, cap'n," she said, .'but de young gem'men tole me tuh gib missy dis at the correc moment, and Imus' do it.
 Agnes took the package, cut the string and saw a tiny note with a line across It's face:
 Read this when you are alone 7 It was in Philips handwriting. She slipped it in her pocket and unfolded yet more, to ind Philip Barlow's face gazing up into hers from the card, and on the margin, in the same characterful hand:
 aYour Philip, if you will have 1t so."
 Her sight grew dim She clutched the picture tightly and half roses her lips were very white. She would have fallen, had not the watchful Sophie caught her up and swiftly carried the unconscious girl to the safety of her cabin. Though Sophie was good. it was but human that she should take the photograph from the girls hand, nod very intelligently, and then gently re- place it.
 Just as Agnes Ducharme awakened to the newly risen love of her life she was glad to see Sophie quietly flaming her, while the golden pendulums ticked off the melody as she sang:
 tsPraise de Lawd! F'o' Chris is risun;
 All is joy yeth.

 Al long line of relations and friends stood. watching lonely, girlish figure on the deck, waving farewells and sending cheery smiles and signals to the young traveller.

Agnes Ducharme felt 1t to be too much, and murmured: s'They seem glad to see me go, but she knew that this was not true, and sent a watery smile in an

To Exclude American Meat.

Berlin, Nov. 30--Symptoms OF re-

meat are manifest In the new imperial
inspection laws, which. when passed, 1t
is generally supposed, will affect domes-
tic as well as foreign produce. The new
laws will become effective on April l.
1902 but only as far as imported meat is
concerned. The date on which German
meat will be subjected to the rigid new
system is left open. Just how this dis
tinction has been reached Is not ex-
planned, but the prophecy is made that
the German butchers will celebrate the
fact by substantial increase of prices
