She had seated herself upon board
seat between two trees and was re-
garding him earnestly. Bessemer
leaned against peach-tree close be-
side her and gazed down at her. "A
most able attorney, fair lady. do you
prove yourself in pleading the cause
of the enemies of your king; and
yet, when | look into your face and
note the resemblance you bear your
loyal brother, it is past credence that
you can indeed be at heart the rebel
you choose tonight to pose. Nay,
/ know you are but shamming. The
loyal Edwards sister and your loyal
fathers daughter cannot but be
wholly loyal. Do you know that l
love your brother Edward trebly-
once for himself and twice for his
likeness to you? When he rides by
my side, can almost delude myself
into the belief that it is you 1 have
with me. All, Jane, if you could but
know what a sweet comfort it is to
have upon long marches and hot pur-
suit of flying enemies; but--what's
that?"
During their stroll they had en-
tered the orchard. whose rear ended
In the woodland. Bessemer had
caused lanterns to be strung for
some distance in this orchard, and
many lovers had taken advantage of
its picturesque paths to saunter
through its maZes, but none of them
had wandered quite as far as their
host and hostess. Indeed. the two
were at the end of the fringe of
lanterns.
Both he and Jane turned their
faces towards the shadows. The
sounds came closer; the tramp of
horses feet, the clanking of spurs,
the cracking of twigs, and smothered
talk At length there emerged into
the rim of light the lanterns cast a
small party of men. Two were on

A SLAVE TO CUSTOM.
Industrious Servant Who Made His
Employers Existence Most
Miserable.

To have servant so Industrious as
to Interfere with all chance of COM
fort was the unfortunate experience
of Mr.. Portman, who lived in Africa,
and is the author of Station Studies
The trouble was, writes Mr.. Port
man, that nothing could stem the
flow of his good intentions. l had
only, for instance, to leave my lodg-
ings for few moments to find on
my return my campbedstead care
fully folded up in one corner of the
room, the mattress and blankets
forming neat roll in another, and
any clothes which l had happened to
leave about snatched away for wash
ing. 1t mattered nothing that L
wished to lie down on the bed, use
the mattress to encourage my siesta
and change into the clothes; all this
lay outside Hamis' view of his duty.
Nothing would induce him to
swerve from his unvarying rule of
life, nor any remonStrance gain any
response but the three words, de-
livered with pitiful smile at my ig-
norance, 1T is custom"
"Custom." for example, decreed that
he should sprinkle water on the YER
anda at daybreak to lay the dust. 1t
mattered nothing that food of rain
had been pouring all night and had
removed all possibility of dust for
hours to come; custom still had it's
way, and the stones were sprinkled
according to rule.
Custom bade him bring me a cup
of tea before l rose. / did not want
it, and told him SO day after day;
but weeks passed before l managed
to prevent his bringing it. In accord
ance with custom he daily seized my
bed, bedding, and all the undercloth-
ing on which he could lay his hands.
and spread them on the patch of
grass or, worse still, on the wall sur
rounding it. But custom hardly ever
reminded him that if rain fell they
would possibly get wet; and as rain
storms in Africa are likely to resem-
bic waterspouts in volume and April
showers in frequency. the chances Of
my having a dry bed by the evening
soon grew to be very small.

THEIR HELP.

Not that he wished to go.
But that they did not seem to care
To help bring out the talents there
OF one so far below.
He looked back at the dear old town,
This "Empty-Headed John"
And where he went his tears were strewn,
But they that stayed wept not, and soon
Forgot that he was gone.
He toiled Through wearing weeks and
years,
Unaided and alone.
Till joyously, one day, he found
His feet upon the topmost round,
His greatness widely known.
Down in his heart fondness for
The old town fingered on:
They hailed him there with shouts; Ger

"A banner waved on which he read:
Thrice welcome Our John.
