The Cottaqer's Child's Portrait.

Mr.. Sheridan Knowles was painting
in country road, when poor-look-
ing woman with a baby in her arms,
who had stood watching him for some
time, asked how much he would
charge to paint portrait of her child.
Feeling that she would not believe
him if he told her his usual charge,
and at the same time making sure in
his own mind that she could not af
ford more than the price of photo
graph, he replied that he could not
DO it for less than sovereign. She
went off to cottage a few yards
away, but to his dismay returned

her that he could not leave the pic

CHAPTER VII.
Two Proposals.

Two proposals.
The ruling idea of any mind as
1umes the foreground OF thought, and
after Arenta's marriage the dominant
desire Of George Hyde was to have his
betrothal to Cornelia recognized and
assured. He was in haste to light his
own nuptial torch, and afraid every
day OF that summons to England which
would delay the event.
: II may have to go away with mother
ut any. time-I may be detained by
events I cannot heap-and l have not
bound Cornelia to me by eay personal
recognized tie-and Rem Van Ariens

state OF affairs will never do! I will
write to Cornelia this very moment
and tell her must see her father this
evening. I cannot possibly delay it
longer. I have been a fool-a care
less, happy fool-too long" .,
He opened his secretary and sitting
;resolutely down, began a letter to Dr.
1doran. He poured out his heart and
desires, and then he read what he had
written. 1t would not do at ALL It
was love letter and not business

another: When he had finished read

The Market Price of Titles.

A dealer in foreign titles and decor
ations, in response to an inquisitive
inquirer, gives the price of the CONF
modities he offers. The title of count
costs 10000 francs; viscount, 25,OOOt
baron, $4,000. These are Spanish.
"Chevalier'' is naturally much less
expensive, the highest order being for
sale at 5000 francs.
The red. black and white rosette of
the Red Cross, given for aid to the
wounded on land and sea, can actually
be purchased for 1900 francs; no
further qualification being necessary
than the payment of this sum. One
month suffices the intermediary to Sc
cure this decoration to the candidate
who desires it. The higher titles
necessitate a delay of five or six
months.
Half the purchase money has to be
sent to the dealer in titles on applica-
ton.

Women as Dress Judoes.

It would almost seem as though a
new profession for women were max
ing it's way to the front-that of dress
experts to puzzled county court judges.
Judge Edge, at his wits end at
Clerkenwell, yesterday, to decide a dis
pute about the fit of a dress, bethought
him of colleague who had created
the precedent of calling in a disinter-
ested lady to decide the point, and,
following it, gave judgment in accord
ance with the experts advice.

Judge Edge, pathetically, Il shall
either have to learn dressmaking or
have a lady expert attached to the
court" -LOndon Express.

LEARNING THINGS

We Are All in the Apprentice CIass.
When a simple change of diet
brings back health and happiness the
story is briefly told A lady Of
Springfield, ILL.,, says: AFTER being
afflicted for years with nervousness
and heart trouble, received a shock
four years ago that left me in such
a condition that my life was despaired
of. I could get no relief from doctors
nor from the numberless heart and
nerve medicines I tried because I
didn't know that the coffee was daily
putting me back more than the Drs.
could put me ahead.
'Finally at the request of a FRIEND 7
left off coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or months 1 have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells of heart trouble. =
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the
use of Postum" Name given nv

seal and glanced at it's tenor, and an
expression of pity and annoyance
came into her eyes. Hastily she locked
both letters away in a drawer in her
desk.
DR.. Moran was not at home, nor
was he expected until shutdown, SO
mother and daughter enjoyed together
the confidence which Hyde's letter in
dueed. Mrs. Moran thought the young
man was right, and promised, to a GER
tain extent, to favor his proposal.
However, Cornelia," she added, "un-
less your father is perfectly agreeable
and satisfied, would not advise you
to make any engagement" ~
The answering of these letters was
naturally Cornelia's first afternoon
thought. To write to Joris was a de-
lightful thing, an unusual pleasure,
and she sat down, smiling, to pen the
lines which she thought would bring
her much happiness, but which wero
doomed to bring her a great sorrow:
My Joris! My Dear Friend:
lis scarce an hour since received
your letter, but I have read it over
four times. And whatever you desire,
that also is my desire; and I am de-
ceived as much as you, if you think
do not love you as much as l am
loved by you. Come, then, this very
night as soon as you think convenient.
If my father is in suitable temper
it will be we'll to speak plainly to him,
and am sure that my mother will
say in our favor all that is wise.
What more is to say will keep for
your ear, for you are enough in my
heart to know all my thoughts, and to
know better than 1 can tell you how
dearly, how constantly, how entirely
love you. Yours forever,
"Cornelia."
