Charles Grosvenor of the new i occupants of the little cottage which lay : so close.to his vicarage that he could see !. the smoke from the chimney over the , tops of the tree* that skirted his lawn. ; , > ThftRev. Charles Grosvenor had been ' away from the scene of his labors at j Chumleigh for a month. Chumleigh | was countrytied enough and healthy ! ? enough, but he had been ordered sea j 3 air and had taken the trip, leaving his j a by no meanft extensive flock to the care i, of" a temporary shepherd. The Rev. Charles Grosvenor was a ; s young man, and Crumleigh was his firsl j , living. TJ?' was quite new enough to ! hi3 work to take interest in it, and he | was on iniimate terms with all his | ? * parishioners. ;a Directly he heard of the new arrivals in the village he, of course, determined to call upon them, but he thought he j1 would just inquire what sort of people : y thev were. ' ! The result was the above description 1 ? ?a description vague enough in all I, conscience, and yet sufficient at once to ;, invest the heroines of it with a slight i K eKhalo of romance. j. * The Rev. Charles Grosvenor had not so long left college life to busy himself j among the pumpkins but that he could j Vdulv appreciate the piquancy winch a llUlc-mystery, leads to our ordinary , . htm-drumexistence. is Knowing^that the young lady shunned observation, his curiosity was at once | &rou3ed, and he looked forward to his | first meeting yith her with more than } _ ' ordinary eagerness. As to the old lady ?well, he was a young bachelor, remember, and however deeply old ladies may veil themselves, or however mysterious c they may be, they cannot expect to | a . . . command much attention when there is i c ' > a younger lady in the case. i J1 The curate failed at Laburnam cot-j " .. iage the day after the return from the i a . .' seaside. He found the Smiths very a quiet and unassuming people. Mrs. v bmith said very little and sighed a good deal, and Miss Smith, though a fluent e and agreeable speaker, a3 he could judge j ? from the littlfi slip snirt. snnke onlv in " answer to his questions, and kept her : 0 eyes fixed on the ground the whole time | 61 v he was talking to her. I fl "Something queer about these peo- .11 pie," said the Rev. Charles (Jrosvenor ; to himself. . " I wonder what it is. I ; J1. must draw them out." ! fi His notion of drawing them out was 11 to engage-their services in his parish , . work. The^Old laiy sighed and con-;11 sented. The young one colored, cast i ? down her eyes, and said that she was ~ not fit for such work. Not religious i " enough, she meant. Tho Rev. Charles (irosveoor was ; much distressed to hear that Miss Smith ! was not religious. Here, at last, was a j task congenial to his soul. He was > quite willingto convert farm laborers and ' ? to reform mark . gardeners, but when ; ? a demure looking young lady, with an ;11 agreeable manner, offered herself, he | v could not refrain from looking forward j the prospect of higher and ncbler y fcg/:-;-;,- work. . 1 He talked seriously to Miss Smith, l! and Miss Smith listened seriously?s? 9| seriously that the curate was taken by : surprise. He was almost alarmed at j n thetemble earnestness with which the . P girl spoke of religious questions, asked j a or spiritual consolation, and argued 'P with him on the. dread subject of the [ " 3&m?rV fate hereafter. The earnest- 1 ess 'and the vehemence of his parish- : f ionec; however, only increased his in- ? k.U. Ttc :?i. it.) !. _ir ti x iruro omiwu uttiicu Jiersvu a miserable sinner, the Rev.

He accepted her confession * in the same sense that he would have a accepted it from the patron of his living,.!(' or his mothor. or any 01 his lady parishi?ners.-> We are all miserable sinners, i H . *nd being enjoined to say so, a clergy- j |( f" toan cannot, for the sake of being com- 1 " alimentary, refuse to believe a "young t( lady when she affirms that she is no ex- 11 cej.iion to the rule. j ? ^ But 51s,to att^chi^g any really serious ' y mport, to the.' confession of Miss!"

He idn't want the ! 9? girl he was "in love, with to be too per- ; H sistently a miserable sinner. She was 111 so ^harming and so nice tbat he felt she j 4J might very well keep that in the back- t(" ground a little. . i0 "A white tie and a clerical coat do not ai- j n tor a man's nature; and when a man falls j (j madly in love with a woman, he likes :cl to imagine, her as msot perfection as ] Y .pbgaibe, ' Miss Smith's manner chaneed also, i a f She discovered the parson's secret be- j jj? fore it was many days old.

For a moment she went deadly pale, then the color rushed to her cheeks j 7! and she stammered out a remark which i p turned the conversation. i V; Miss. Smith saw that the Rev. Charles j ( . Grosvenor was at her mercy. It was ! r only a question of time when he would !ir make the avowal. Should she encour- " age him, or discourage bis seci^t, and ; 01 stop it while there was yet time? In her difficulty she laid her case before her mother and asked her advice. The old lady was frightened outot her wits.. She dared not think about such a thing, she said. Of course'ft would be the making of her if she could marry a ti clergyman; but how could it be done? to He would have to know the history of ?l her life first, and then? sc ' And then he wouldn't have me," <'i answered the girl, passionately. ; al "(if oourse not, my dear," said Mrs. w Smith, "'at least I should think not." pi "Shall I tell him?

It is practically the meeting- di lace of three continents?Africa, Asia, tlj nd Europe.

But the dog was ?; so treacherous in his disposition that - j ex-Judge Troy turned him over toaclerk k i in his office, Air. K. Haering. who, havy I ing been an athletic performer in a nume her of circuses, had become accustomed t j to entering the ca^es ot wild beasts, ung! der the instructions of a number of e | animal trainers. Mr. Haering agreed r j to take the dog to his father's premises t in Atlantic near Alabama avenue, East e New York, providing that ex-Judge e [ Troy would pav for the animal's keeping, e j Mr. Troy willinely consented to this, I. and a cage ten feet long, seven feet wide e ; and ten feet high was constructed in Mr. ! Haering's garden, and " Satan" was u \ placed iu it. One Wednesday, two or t- | three weeks ago, "Satan" began to howl, l[ j as was his custom when he wanted food i or water. Iliering went into the garden .1 ! to feed the dog, accompanied'by half a t j dozen persons, curious to see the brute, t: After giving the dog meat, Haering prod j cured some water, stepped with it into e I the cage, and then bolted the cage on the outside. He usually went into the cage I j to feed the animal, and alway on such - j occasions carried a heavy, loaded riding e | whip. On this occasion he had neglected s! to take the whip with him. Haering k i set the pan of water on the floor, but the I- j dog seemed disinclined to drink, refused e ! to be patted, and walked restlessly up it ann down tne cage. e j Haering saw that " Satan " was in one II ( of h is worst humors, and turned to go out >f | of the cage. lie had no sooner turned 1.1 his back than the animal sprang upon t | him. Haeringtbrew himself 1o oneside. ! hut the dog's paws struck him on the a ! shoulder, and dog and man fell to th? - ' floor together. Haering sprang ouiekly to his feet, and thp dog jumped at him 1 mi sank iris teeth into the mnn's right i arm. Haering, quick as lightning. pitched the dog over on his back, and j was just going to jump on his paws, as the brute recovered himself and sprang it j for Jlaering's throat. With one hand t j Haering grasped the dog's leg, and with n I the other caught him by the upper eye1.1 lid, and did not let go his hold until he 0 I had torn the animal's scalp to the back t of the head. The dog fell back with o i Haering on top. Both got their feet, ( and Haering sprang for the gate of the n I cage. t1 The dog dashed at him again, and i* j Haering clinched the brute ana tried to v ! set his teeth into his shaggv neck.

Haering thrust his hand in e ; the brute's throat and tried to smother n j him. In the struggle both fell again, - and the dog lacerated Haerlng's left - I hand. .-I "Unbolt the gate, quick!" shouted ti' llaering to the men who were standing s | fifty feet away, but no one dared come to e I the* rescue. ii | Haering threw himself on the dog and li: set his teeth into his throat, and at the s ; same time grasped the dog by the upper 1 j jaw with his right hnnd, -pressing down % | the lower jaw with his left arm until the e | flesh at the sides of the doe's mouth was i! torn by the strain. Dog and man struga i gled about the cage for at least five e | minutes. At last they reached the door, t! Haering, still keeping his teeth fixed in s | the animal's neck, lifted him up and % j pinned him against the side of the cage, a ; Then with his right hand he unbolted i | the door of the cage, and got outside, ; at the same time drawing the dog's head t through and closing the gate on his . neck, i Thpn he pressed upon the gate o with all his might.

This notable boot marks a new era in the manufacture ot rubber goods. The boot is called the " 95 Per Cent* Sterling," to denote its high quality, and is covered by no less than seven patents, all owned by the Candee Co.! One ot the boots split to show its exact . character, is on exhibition at the stores, and shows an article of genuine service, that is 1 seemingly indee tractable. The company war- 1 rants these boots three months, although ? there is abundant testimony that the boots will stand six months' hard wear every day.
