A 0le-Siipd Argument

For two weeks the small town of
Clifton, situated in the center of Eng
lands galaxy of nobility's quiet coun-
try homes, had forgotten its usual
torpidiry, aroused like the tickle Avon.
On whose banks it rests, from brook
like serenity TO a maddened whirl of
waters. Mrs. Leighton's ball, in its
preparation, had taxed the slow-mov-
ing town TO the uttermost.
And now the all-important moment
had arrived. Here and there on the
ballroom floor, that shoEe like the
surface OF a sleeping lake. which APP
peararce was further enhanced by the
palms and similar plants that clus-
tered round the margin, were groups
Of men and women. The latter in
their white gowns and gracefulness
might we'll make ideal swans to fur
nish the completion of the smile.
Yet at this minute, beauty, even in
this miniature Daphne, was not the
principal recipient of worship. a
man. who had just entered and was
paying his devoirs 10 the hostess, was
the cynosure Of all eyes. Certainly,
Sire George Vartray. poet author and
explorer, was a magnet both in ap-
pearance and manner. He could lay
no claim to being handsome, but the
intimation of genius which always as
serts itself, and is a siren more as
sured OF success than even handsome
ness. was clearly marked in his
glance and nien. From the ladies the
looks spoke Of non-dsembled admira-
ton as they always show man Of
distinction. like the peculiar attrac-
ton their latest and most beautiful
bijou has The men regarded him
with envy. but with that species of
envy IN which respect holds an hon.
ored place.
The neutrality-suspicious. object of
this attention turned from his hostess
to a Young lady, who stood at her
side, and his face nearly lost its usual
expression of reserve. and took on
one Of the utmost interest as he
found himself looking at the most be-
witching bi; Of femininity he had ever
encountered.
His hostess was speaking; he
aroused himself with an inward start
and resumed his mask of Indifference,
although Try as he would to take no
notice, his feelings were anything but
calm.
Sir George, my protege, Miss
Weaver, who is to grace my court,
having successfully passed her col
lege training. Lily, this is Sir George
Vartray. Of whom you have so often
heard He is a terrible cynic and
wouan-hater, but will leave you to-
sether Probably you can penetrate
that lie is wrong"
For the first time in his life Var
tray, the bitter denouncer Of society
in general, whose pen and tongue
were equally eloquent in propounding
those theories, or words of satire that
chafed the social world to such an
extent, was dumb.
Il cannot believe the harsh calum-
ny that Lady Leighton has laid at
your door, Sir George; but if it be
true. am sure you have received a
wrong impression of my half Of the
world"
"PriIcess Ida herself could not have
said ii with more grace. and so that

Vartray, and then wondered what had

ALL ALONE,

l sat and watched the sun go down.
And watched the world go dark;
Then round about me, up and down.
Small lights flashed out to mark,
Like stars, wee spots amidst the gloam,
Each that TO some one dear had grown;
Not one but marked place called home :
sat and watched the lights flash out.
But l was all alone.
l sat and watched the moon come up.
AND heard the nightbird call;
ana round me moonflowers ope'd their cup
10 catch the night dew's fall;
ana one by one the lights went dead,
The night birds grooming tone
was hushed. he whole world seemed abed,
man, blrd and beast. each had their mate
But l was all alone!
ana midnight darkness held the world
Like huge thing enthralled;
LAY ev'ry banner had been furled;
Nor wind. nor nihhtbird called
Across the heavy Wing dark
NOR cen the bi.lows moan
Inc worlds a grisiy thing and stark
AT mdnisht's heavy voceless hour
When one is all alone.

air. He will take a dive. under the Ice and
swim around at a great rate. but he comes
to the top and makes little air hole,
which the boys see while enjoying the sport
of skating at the same time; then they dig
through and get him.. He IL killed and
skinned and the meat is left behind. The
skins bring about a quarter. each"
