Even than my love; Alice, you like
me more than you admit. Unsay your
words, my dearest, and give me hope"
"Do not vex me-" she resumed in a
panied tone; "do not seek to turn me
from my duty. IL. though scarcely
like to speak Of these sacred things,
Gerard, I have put my hand on the
plough; even you cannot turn me
back"
"Tell me one thing. Gerard; it will

He contracted his brow, and nodded.
"And you could refuse her! You
must learn to love her. for she would
make you a good wife,"
Much chance there is now OF my
making a wife Of any one."
ooh, this will blow over in time; I
feel it will. Meanwhile"

interruption. II love you alone, Alice;
I have loved you for months. truly, fer

Love me still, Gerard" she softly
answered, "but not with the love 3Du

you will give to Frances Chenevix.
Think of me as one rapidly going;
soon to be gone"

ploring tone. as if it were as she
willed. -"
"Not just yet: hope to see you re-
turn from exile. Let us say farewell
while we are alone
She spoke the last words hurriedly,
for footsteps were heard. Gerard
snatched her to him. and laid his face
upon hers"
What cover did you say the book

Gerard, who was then leaning back
on the sofa, apparently waiting for

Frances and Gerard flew into the
next room, whence the street could be

now, with you, Gerard" whispered
Lady Frances. "You will be very dull

and Lady Sarah be sporting it on her

A BANANA TREE.


THE Fruit Grows Small End Up and
In Cut while Unripe.
Contrary to popular belief, bananas
do not grow on the tree as they hang in
the grocery, but with the small end of
the fruit pointing upward-to all ap-
pearances upside down.
There is probably no other fruit of
such universal consumption about
which 30 little il known to the average
person rs the banana. Something like
100, 0,O00. 900 punches are annually eaten
in this country alone, but scarcely one
man in a thousand not connected with
the business knows what banana tree
looks like.
The fruit Is never allowed to ripen on
the tree, but is cut half or three-quar-
tiers "fuIl''-that is, half to threc-quar-
ters developed-according to the dis
tance it is to be shipped, and comes to
maturity by feeding from the stalk,
which contains large amount Of sap.
Bananas cut In this way attain prac-
tically the same size as IL allowed to
remain on the tree, in which case the
bunch becomes too much Of burden
for its support and either falls or
breaks the tree and ripens on the
ground.
After the cutting the plantation Is
cleaned" which merely consists of
seyering the standing trunks within a
few feet Of the ground, and a new tree
comes forth from the remains OF its
predecessor, SO that the fruit In all
stages of growth is to be found at the
same time and the yield is continuous.

An Anecdote Of wordsworth.


A contributor to the London Specta

Your interesting article On vast
ness and Isolation" recalls to my mind
Wordsworth's own Interpretation OF
the lines
Those obstinate Questionings
OF sense and outward things,
Tallings from us, vanishings-
as reported to me by the late Professor
Bonamy Price. One day as he was
walking with the poet in the hills be
asked him what he meant precisely by
the words "fallIngs from us, vanish
ings." wordsworth's answer was to
this effect: Sometimes find myself
in q mood In which the whole material
universe seems to fall away. The sense
of outward things is lost. Nothing re-
mains but an immaterial self, detach-
ed from all physical conditions. In or
der to get back into the known world
of consciousness / have to clutch at
something-so." Here he grasped tho
bar of the gate on which they were
leaning at the moment. was much
struck by the story at the time and
made a note of 1t.
