Sarah's love of animals is very re-
markable, and she was always buying a
new pet. One morning at the hotel,
when we were playing together at Liver

room. I went in and found two low
looking ruffians. They had inside large

A story OF a really generous man, told
me by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, comes to
my mind.
A friend came to a generous man to
borrow twenty-four pounds. The gen.
erous man had only twelve pounds in the
world. These he gladly gave to his
friend; but afterward, whenever they met
the generous man hung his head; he felt
he owed his friend twelve pounds.

more gracious and childlike and poetic
than we have ever seen 1t before. Scene
after scene passed with short intervals,
and the air of mystery and unreality was
never broken. We watched the first meet
ing at Fountain, we heard the quiet ia
talism of old age uttered by the lips of
ArkeT. We saw the slow development of
the unacceptable tragedy enveloping all
the characters as 1t were with vague and
shadowy nets, and the light was one
which never was on sea or land. and we
were-spectators and actors alike-such
stun as dreams are made Of Once, and
once only, did we seem to touch earth.
1t was in the fine scene where GoIdud, In

little Yniold to the window to watch the
two lovers within.
