In 1t was nothing OF the business prop
osition Mrs. Peabody had intended tC
call forth, but an ardent love such as Q
young man would pour out to young
girl. Il shall love YOU" the old man
said, "in your youth and cherish YOU
In your old age" The lady threw
down the letters, muttering; mot IN
my old age, you old fool You'll be

When Miss Ward handed her aunt
the reply she had written Mrs. Peabody
commented on it. IF he were young
man, Bett, it would be lovely. There's
some excuse for him, after all, consid-
ering how sweetly you write"
Then came the arrangements for the
first meeting between the principals,
who had never met except in court
where they had glared at each other,
Mr.. Goldman wrote that he would call
at III In the morning Of certain day,
and since he was subject to tempo
rary indisposition his grandson would
accompany him.
Temporary indispositionp ex-
claimed Mrs. Peabody. Hell bring
his grandson to hold him up! Write
him that owing to a superabundance Of
maidenly modesty l shall have my
niece with me at the meeting"
The girl, laughing merrIly. flew away
to write the last letter of this unique
correspondence before an engagement,
and Mrs. Peabody went to her room
to prepare for the ordeal.
When Mr.. Codman's carriage drove
up to Mrs. Peabody's door the sun YEAS
shining, the birds were singing indeed,
everything portended q betrothaI of a
youthful pair. Louis Goldman alight-
ed, got his grandfather out Of the car
riage and supported him into the house.
Mrs. Peabody and her niece received
them In the drawing foom. The old
man was trying to say something gal

him.

Rangoon.-Within the last few
weeks a most extraordinary case of
alleged Observation-Disclosures to be
the soul of a British of1cer-has made
its appearance in Burmah. It is the
second Of its kind in recent years, and
has accordingly attracted widespread
attention.
R~eincarnation is a fundamental doc
trine Of Buddhism, and a reincarna-
ton Of a human identity, in human
form, though changed in outward as
pect,, is called a "minza." AS a rule,
the "minza" is a very ordinary looking
child, in no way different from his
childish companions.
A few years back a.. W. Tucker, dis
trict superintendent Of police in Pega,
was killed by a gang of dacoits, whom
he had rashly attacked at close quar-
tiers, after discharging his revolver and
without waiting to reload it. His call
to his orderly to fetch ammunition
gave the clew to the dacoits, and they
killed him.
Just about the time this tragedy
was being enacted in one part of the
district, a humble Burmese woman
gave birth to a baby boy, who in time,
before the days Of his %babyhood were
well over, claimed to be no less q
parsonage than the murdered police
officer.
So circumstantial were his accounts
of the encounter with the dacoits as to
appear the narrative Of an eyewitness,
and when questioned on various other
the deceased officer he is asserted to
have answered with such exactitude
that the Burmese people who focked
to hear him discourse were convinced
Of the truth of his assertions. Peculf-
arities of action and speech were faith
fully reproduced, and generally, quite
a sensation was created.
Within the last few weeks a still
more interesting case of "minza" has
made its appearance, and we quote
the account of a Rangoon Times cor
respondent from Meiktilia:
There is a little blue-eyed, light
haired boy here, between three and
four years old, the son of hard work
ing and matter of fact Burmese pa
rents belonging to the laboring classes,
who until quite recently prattled like
any other child Of that age. The other
day, however, he astonished his
mother by gravely claiming that he
was the late Maj. D. J. Welsh, border
regiment, come to life again. and
