mischief. His pride in the fulnlment of this prophecy was dashed by the re- fiection that he could never proclaim it. He felt that he owed 1t not only to the lady's dignity. but to his own, that no living soul should ever hear of the affair. Vengeance, secret but se- we're. upon Tom was a matter to which Uncle Augustus could attend at his greater leisure.
 Meanwhile, In the immediate pres ent was the interview with Mrs. Pn- kington. With final quiver of reins the hanson drew up before the door of the widows house, and Mir. Sher- ingham slowly descended. From one direction came the distant echo of Ger. man musicians playing La Matchiche, and imparting to that frolicsome air all the Teutonic melancholy of their race. Nearer at hand a commercial vocalist with a cart was vaunting the excellence of ripe strawberries in what Is so appropriately termed a fruity baritone. and two elderly gentle men had paused In the very center of the pavement to discuss a question of politics Mir. Sheringham noted all these trifles with the sharpened perceptions of a drowning man. He felt absurdly as he did when, as a small boy, he was led to the family dentist.
 There will be no occasion for you fn ha In, b,1i voice. Then he walked up the steps and pressed the bell.
 The room into which he was shown was one that had long stood to Mir. such a a room should be. It was long and low, full of soft, delicate color, and odorous with flowers. The dim light of the drawn blinds was grateful to him In his nervous and overwrought condition; he felt vaguely rather than realized an atmosphere of tranquility that had already begun to soothe him as he crossed the threshold.
 At his entrance the mistres of the house arose with a little startled ges- ture. Mrs. Pllkington was a tall and remarkably graceful woman. whom time had treated with gentleness Her age, given by herself as 3S, might well have passed in that subdued light for at least ten years less, and she wore with distinction gown of the kind oc- casionally described by masculine nov elists as "some soft clinglng material"

Why He Let Go.

A workman who was assisting in the repair of the roof of one of the highest buildings In Dublin lost his balance and fell. As he went down he struck a mass of electric wires and all of them broke but one, to which he managed to cling. His fellow workmen shouted to him to hold on, but after few seconds Pat shouted, "Sthand from undher !" and dropped to the ground. The shock of the fall was so great that he remain ed unconscious for several hours. When he finally came around he was asked why he didn't hold on little longer. Although still somewhat dazed, he re- piled: q let go because I was afraid the wire would break"

imperceptible pause he added, 1T felt that it was better that 1t was due to both of us, that should do so."
 "Sit down." said Mrs. Pilkington, herself sinking on to the couch from which she had risen.
 MT. Sheringham obeyed in silence. With returning self possession, there was beginning to grow upon him an almost overwhelming sense of the diff f1culty of the task that he had under taken. He dreaded the humiliation which he must bring upon the charm ing woman before him-how charming he realized in that moment as never before. His eyes, that dared not look up, were attracted suddenly by the delicate beauty of the hand that play ed nervously with the cushions beside her.
 For 1t would have been obvious, had not MT. Sheringham been still too pre- occupied to perceive 1t, that Mrs. Pll- kington was extremely nervous-far more so than the tone of her note could have led him to expect. Not only did this involuntary movement of the hand betray her Gin one usually so restfully composed), but little agi- tated color that kept coming and going in her cheeks. Mir. Sheringham, how ever, was now looking at his boots, and saw nothing of this.

 My dear friend" she interrupted him, surely no explanation Is needed. Your letter. which shall always be proud to have received, was quite suf- ficient in itself. It told me every thing!"
 Mir. Sheringham felt then that he would gladly give a large sum of money to know exactly what that i'm piled. "You-you have kept it?" he asked clumsily.
 You speak," she laughed back, but with an uncertain ring In her voice, "as though you were anxious to with draw the offer. Be treasured I shall not bring action"
 Here at once was his opportunity, given by herself. Before he could take 1t, however, she had continued in an angered tone-"But do not think that I shall part with that letter."
 "Why?" asked Mir. Sheringham, star tied Into an upward glanca.

So these were wed (about four months later), and merrlly rang the bells. That was at the end of the sum- mer holidays, and when, on a bright September morning, MT. sherlngham, radiant now, and more than reconciled to his fate, left Trinity church with Mrs Sheringham on his arm, his nephew was observed to be among the most delighted of the guests. The bride was given away by her brother ln-law, but 50 far the true history of the proposal has been given away by no one. Perhaps this is accounted for by the fact that Tom returned to West Point after q severe lecture from his justly indignant uncle, with what is vulgarly known as a nee in his ear.
