Then you will go with me to these
people about the bills, Cyras-the jeweler

pause.
"I'll go now, If you like. don't want
to let you in for annoyance, brother

You have let me In for good deal

Haymarket two or three nights asoT

And there you were taken for me.
Who was the lady? 1t was half over
London the next day that l had been
there in suspicious company"
What a joke p exclaimed Cyras. II
knew l was being taken for you, Char
ley,' laughed Cyras, carelessly. "Some
fellows nodded to me, and one or two
spoke, and | nodded back again and kept
up the jest"
"A sorry jest for me, Cyras. I was
engaged to be married-to Mary Dyne-
vor."
I'm uncommonly glad to hear it,"
cried Cyras, stretching out his hand to
grasp his brothers. Mary was the
incest of all the younger girls; as nice
as Cyrilla."
Il said was engaged, Cyras 1t Is
broken off now. Old Miss Dynevor saw
me, as she thought, at the Haymarket
with some one l had no business to be
with; and she went home and told the
subdean. The next time l called In Eaton
Place he turned me out of doors, and
babe me think no more of his daughter"

Hole In the Air.

One of the strange experiences of a
balloonist is that of falling into "a hole
In the air." which Mr.. Rolker reports
as follows:
$50 you continue sailing, enjoying
the present with little thought of the
startling surprises that may be before
you. Ahead of you, unseen, may be
what the balloonist calls a hole in the
air. resembling the vortex of a mael-
stron, and down this you may literally
fall at a rate which is terrifying until,
by sacrificing two or three bagfuls of
sand at once, your pilot checks your
downward flight. But these holes are
scarce. and as & rule the atmosphere Is
of uniform carrying power."-Ameri-
can Magazine.

went back to Pump Court, when Char3eI
had ordered a substantial supper for
CyraS benefit.
Then Cyras grew confidential He spoke
of certain fair daughter Of Mr.. JanAen,
the second partner Of the New Zealapd
house. She and Cyras were privately
engaged; and he declared that If he could
only win her he should throw carelesness
to the winds and become as steady az Old
Time.
''Ber mother, well born English worn

All, Charley, if could only encompass
that partnership, it would steady me for
life. If have to part from her-weli,
l don't think l should care what went
with me, or what the end was-perhaps
ruin"
Charles was silent He remembered
how passionately he and Cyras had loved
each other as boys, although Cyras did
put upon him and tyrannize over him
and he asked himself whether he should
give up his own marriage for time, and
save his brother. He had about two thoa-
sand pounds put by; part of it ne had
saved by degrees, part had come to him
by a recent legacy If he gave that to
Cyras, his own marriage must be delayed,
but he knew Mary would wait for Elm.
1t would be a grievous disappointment to
both of them, but should disappointment
be placed in comparison with his friend

HER "oLD BOY"


| A young student who passed his vaca-
where his mother, in her charming

reminded in an unexpected fashion that
her pupils there had not forgotten her.
He was careless correspondent, and
the one letter which he had written
home during the first fortnight of his
stay yet lay forgotten In his pocket,
when one morning, on coming to the
mail-box, he found the letter-carrier
lingering beside it, holding a postcard
In his hand. He looked up from an OBJ
vious perusal.

livering it, this won't do Here's your
