the feminine dove-cots in garrison
town, but he was just then unattached
and had by no means an enviable reputa-
ton. His friend and best man, Maj.
Septimus Milligan, belonged to the til
regiment Of Fusiliers, then quartered in
Plymouth. Both gentlemen were well
acquainted with games of chance and the
bottle, but the captain was solitary in
his supremacy as a lady-killer. The
younger son OF an impecunious and not
too reputable peer, he had drained life
to the dregs at -andztWenty.- and, had
petty roguery and larceny been capital
offenses, might have been hung at any
time during the past six or seven years
as a person dangerous to the public order
and the morals of society.
Descending to the coffee-room, he found
the major waiting impatiently,
1.-The carriage is at the door, Dick!
It's past eleven, and Letitia will be get
ting impatient'
"All right" answered the captain.
Then, taking Minigan by the elbow and
looking into his face with an evil smile,
he said, with a wink, After today's bust
ness, I shall make tracks for the con-
tinent. 1 don't want to interfere with
the happiness of the bridegroom, poor
devil!"
Milligan grinned wickedly.
Sure, envy him! Letitia's a match
for a prince, let alone a beggarly 5strolling
player"
'Humph!" muttered saville, while his
face darkened. IT don't half trust Letitia,
though. She's bothered with a delicate
conscience, and is certain to let the cat
out of the bag sooner or later"
mot trust your own charming sister?'
cried the other, with another malicious
grin.
mo, confound her! Well, never mind;
the sooner it's over, the better. Come
along!"
The two men left the hotel, and en-
tered a carriage which stood at the door
with two fine grays in front of it, and q
coachman. with white satin rosette on
his coat, seated on the box They drove
rapidly away into the town. and alighted

A stout, elderly woman opened the door
Is my sister ready?" asked Saville, en-

Quite ready, captain" answered the
woman; land, oh don't she look lovely

Fastening up flight of narrow stairs
Saville entered faded little drawing
room on the first floor. Seated near the
window was lady in bridal white, who
sprang up on his entrance with an i'm
patient cry.
She was tall and dark, with bold black
eyes dark eyebrows, and a brilliant COM

Tom Cardonald was not a rich man. or
one who could afford to eat the bread
or say, rather, in this connection, the
wedding cake-of idleness for many days
together so it had been arranged that,
after brief honeymoon Of six days he
should go on with his bride to Bristol,
where he had an important engagement.
The honeymoon, thus limited or quar-
tered was to be spent at Torquay, at
which pretty place the bridal pair found
themselves late on the afternoon of their
wedding day They discovered quiet
quarters in a cosy little hotel close to the
sea- and, after having dined together,
wandered out for stroll upon the beach.
The sun was setting beyond the dim and
far headlands westward, and casting in
Vulnerable prismatic CLEANS on the cres-
cent azure ring of the sea, which was
just touched by faint, warm shadow
of wind, like the glimmer of breath on
bright sword blade. The heavens were
darkly radlant-like, Tom thought the
glorious eyes of his bride as he had
sometimes seen them in happy moments.
But just then, alas! there was no ra-
dance whatever in Letitia's eyes. Still
strange and agitated almost sullen even,
she preserved a deneanois- of -stelid~ pain.

took the lfghtest possible view Of Letitia's
gloom and low-spiritedness. 1t depressed
him little, nevertheless. AS they
walked side by side. on the beach and
looked seward he turned his loving
eyes to hers, and was more than ever
surprised at the cold, set trouble of her
expression. 1t was not like a brides;
It was rather, like that of a woman who

was certainly very handsome. but there
was something cold-blooded and sinister
in his beauty and his fine blue eyes had

The following story is told on a
well known commercial traveller liv-
ing in Denver, who makes this
town regularly. He is passionately
fond of honey, and the proprietor
of one of our hotels, where he al
ways stops, always has some on
hand for him. On one trip he
brought his wife along, and as he
approached Crested Butte he men
toned to her that he was getting
to place where he could have
honey. When the pair was sitting
at the supper table that night no
honey appeared, and the drummer
said sharply to the head waiter.
Where is my honey?" The head
waiter replied: You mean the lit
tie black-haired one? Oh, she
don't work here now" And the
story goes that the drummer never
did get it fixed up satisfactorily
with his wife.
