So, at least, thought Lord Bonald d'Esterre. He had bat jost returned from a two years' sojourn in tho heart of Af rica, a sojourn flited with dangers and privations; bis years numbered but rive and twonty, he was possessed of a well-knit, springy frame and a keen, clear eye ; and he had come back from his travels with fame, courago and en durance, but without a penny that ho could call his own. What was nest to bo done? This was tho problem that filled all his spare thought?. His elder brother had fitted him out for his expedition with the polite intimation that the act was a virtual washing of his hands of the superfluous cadet : his aunts had kissed him eo warmly at parting that he was amazed to find them "not at home" when ho returned to London ; his godfather had given him a twenty pound note and such a hearty farewell, that it was bewildering to bo cut by him when they met once moro in tho club smoking room. "It really soems as if they wish I had never come back !" said the young man to himself, with a smilo at the iuorcdible idea; but as time passed on his smile3 died away, and he ground his teeth savage ly as he realized that his relations had thought it a good investment to lay out ?500 and an infinity of farewell in the hope of getting quit of a trouble some encumbrance. The thought was ti bitter one, and in his first fury he vowed to leave his native shores by the next ship, and never retara to them again. Bot upon tho heat of his pas sion there fell a cooling broath, as if from heaven itself, and the lion was straightway changed into a lamb. Lord Bonald d'Esterre had been accus tomed so long to be looked upon as a "detrimental, "thafc at first he scarcely dared to show the attraction that lay for him in Violet Harvey's appealing gray eyes and soft, shining hair. To his amazement, however, ho fonud that obstacle? melted away miraculous ly at his approac_ Violet herself was shy and retiring, it is true, but her mother smiled sweetly upon him and 'her father shook him warmly by the hand. * Was evor man BO blessed before? "True love does ran smooth some times, after ail !" he said to himself on this bright June evening, as he walked homeward after a meeting with Mrs. -Sh*!! icc be ?1 r.^?VChcswr galupa ravt.V <<? srht?" she : f :. . ? Dacie i ato lavor again," ho thought; "she wa9 horridly cross when I first came home, but now she is sugared satin whenever I como near her, I dare si.y it was my fault. I know that I was im ill-conditioned brate until Violet came to soften me !" Lady Maria's flowered headdress was the &iti object that met Lord Ronald's eyes when he entered his hostess' crowded drawing rooms that evening, and somewhat to his surprise it was in close proximity to Mw. Harvey's frizzled gray head, ' "I should not have thought fiat Aunt Maria would have anything to do with her !" he reflected. "3he always says that she can detect tho faintest tincture of trade, and sho must know perfectly well that Mr. Harvey made his money in malt." At this moment, bowover,' he caught sight of Violet, and forgetting all che, he elbowed his way eagerly through the ero vd until he reached her side. lt might have been only fancy, but at any rate it seemed to him that her welcome was a warmer one than che had over given him before, and his heart beat faster as ho bent over her. "Will you not como into tho con servatory?" he said, pleadingly ; "it is so hot hore." She rose without a word, and they walked away together. "Do you know that it is only six weeks since I first saw you?" ho said. "I can hirdly beliove it myself, for it seems as if I had known you all mv We." He had au idea even as he spoke that he had seen tho remark in almost every love story that ho had ever read, but he oould not refrain from uttoring it, for it seemed so c*uucfc an expres sion of his feelings. Violet, too, had probably heard it before, but from Ronald's lips it sounded absolutely new, and her long eyelashes drooped lower upon her check as sho listeucd. They wero walking between banks of flower and fern, and the silence be tween them was too sweet to be broken at once; but Boland know that their solitude might; be disturbed at any mc ment, and rousing himself from bis dream ho had just opened his lips to speak, when a voice ir om somo hidden speaker carno plainly to their ears. "It is almost certiin to come off to night, I think. I got him an invita tion on purpose." Bonald started ; it was Lady Maria's voice, but he had not tho remotest idea to what she was alluding. In an other moment, however, she received her answer and it was Violet's turu to start, for it oamo in ber mother's ac cents : "We shall be only too grnteful to you If it does oome off, for ?cr papa and I have always set ocr ?caris on her marrying a lord. The very min ute that Violet tells me he has pro posed, the check shall be sent to you." Bonald drew baok a step, his cheek growing white beneath itu bronze ; his hands clenched involuntarily, and for a moment Violet expected to see bim dash ont upon the conspirators ; but their voioes were already receding in the distance, and as he looked around he saw tho anguish in her face. "Violet, Violet!" he cried, seizing her hands in his, "you knew nothing of this 1 I swear it with my dying breath!" She dre w her hands away, and 3 BLIND. turned to escape, but lie followed lier. "I have not moeia to offer," ho said, "but all I have is at yonr feet." She quickly look? d np, and a light of gratitude came into her eyes. "How good you are," she said. Ronald looked at lier in bewilder ment ; the words were not what ho had expected. "You do not undDrstand," ho said. "I want you to be my wife. "I do understand," sho ans wered gently, "and I honor you for asking me, after what has happened ; but I will not take advantage of your generosity." "It is generosity," cried Ron ald, "it is sheer eelflshncss!" "But Violet showed no signs of yield ing. "I will not leave you unless your tell me one thing, " said Ronald. . 'If your heart is iree, I claim it ; but if not, I will never trouble you again. Violet, tell me, do you love any one?" She looked at him with a face that grew pale under his gaze. "Yes," she said. "I do." "That is enough," said Ronald hoarsely, and dropping her hand he turned and went. "It is strange how ungrateful young people aro!" remarked Lady Mario, a few days later, to tho friends gathered around her tea table. "I had ar ranged a most suitable match for my nephew, really done everything in my power to promoto it; and yet he actually carno hero the other day and used the most terrible language-said that I had spoiled his life, and all kinds ol dreadful things; anl now he has gone off abroad, nobody knows where. I am sure I only hope that I shall never soe him again." Lady .Maria's wish seemed likely to bo fulfilled, for five long years carno and went, bringing no news of Ronald ; and though five years could not tako tho bloom from her cheek, nor tho gold from her hair, they could, and did add very materially to tho in firmities of her frame. But when at last he did reappear, she was willing to overlook the past in spite of her resentment, for Ronald had found his way into a profitablp foreign partner ship, and instead of fame he brought back money. "One of the bent things' I ever did for you was getting you out of that entanglement!" sho exclaimed fer vently when they met, for Lady Maria came of military stock, and she knew that ono of tho mo3t successful manouvres is to carry tho war into your enemy's quarters. Ronald shot a glance at her from under his dark eyebrows, but said HenniDgcon was mero last mouin, ?nu she told mo that she saw Mrs. Harvey on the Parade, and that the woman actually had the audacity to speak to her ! Can you believe it?" "I don't know," said Ronald; "but I am go to Worthing this afternoon, and I shall seo whether_sho will speak to mel" "Oh, my dear boy!" cried Lady Marin, in genuino distress. "Pray, pray don't do anything so foolish I You have no idea how designing poor people are-" but here sho ceased, for the sound of tho loudly closing door informed her that she was alone. "But why did you send mo away?" said Ronald, a few hours later as ho and Violet stood together under tho star3, and heard tho waves beating upon the beach. "Because I thought, after what we overheard, you felt yourrolf bound to eay what you did out of consideration for me." "Zo your pr ido carno in thc way my little one ! Don't you know that pricio is one of tho deadly sins? How ever, I can't preach to you now, bo cause ? want to ask you another ques tion. If you really have loved me all along, why did you tell such a dread ful lie?1' "A lie!" exclaimed Violet. "Yes, a lie; a regalar big black ono ! When I asked you if you had loved anyone, you said yes. ft ow, then, confess at once, becaueo I'm not going to lot you off!" He held her away from him BO that he oould look into hor face, and wait ed inexorably tor her answer. "I saw that you would not listen to any other objection," she said, "and I thought that you were saorificing yourself, and so-" VYes, I know all t*aar," ho inter rupted; "but you had no business to say what you did ! Unless, of oourse, there really was somo one? Come, now, toll me." A flush carno over her face, and as she raised her eyes he could seo hor tears shining in tho starlight; ho grasped her hands mor? firmly in his now, and looked down at her from tho height of his six feet. Sho tried to speak, but hor quiver ing voico would not bo controlled, and with a groat wavo of lovo surging up in his heart, ho drew her close to him. "Who was it?" he whispered. She turnod to hido her face upon his shoulder, and breathed her answer into his ear bent down to catch it. "You dear, blind boy, it wa? youl" -Household Words. A Tramp's Ready Wt. A tramp asking for food at the door , of a certain good deacon residing near ono of the country thoroughfares, was given a loaf of bread by the mas ter of the house, with the rather in hospitable remark, that "the Bible says if any man will not work neither should he eat."

A new meat market had been built on the Place St. Gery, and though it was surrounded by water, the butohars, tvho did not appreciate rats, laid plans to escindo tho whole tribe and nation, md in case any should rea oh their stands they resolved to head off their march by making tho posts in their stall? unscalable by rats. This they jffected by covering tho posts with sine, and the butchers, looking at the shining surface of tho metal, chuckled it their victory. 13ut they reckoned without their hosts1. The rats got the meat. A watchman posted in the market called a butcher who carno ?arly on tho scono to witness tho method. On a stall hung two quarters of beef ?nd a leg ot mutton. The rats spied tliom, and found them unapproacb ible. A general call for tho nation at large was evidently sounded, as tho rats carno flocking in, and an old rat seemed to take command.

THE MOOSE'S HOME. A GREAT BREEDING PLACE FOUND IN MINNESOTA. A Jj&rce Herd Discovered In an Al most Inaccessible Tract of Timber-A Man Treed by the Stampede. ynpJHE breeding place of tho I ; moose has been discovered, says a Tower (Mina.) letter 6 to the New York Press. Theso animals are multiplying rapidly, and as tho law prohibiting their killing does not expire for two years yet, it is bolievod that mooso soon will be mc?o plentiful in Minnesota than tho rod deer. The home of the mooee is in the wil derness bounded by Pied Lako, the Vermilion River and the Piainy River, in the far northern part of tho Stale, which is seldom visited except by prospectors and pino land locators. The country is almost inaccessible, and tho largest game animals left in the Northwest herd there undisturbed. For thrco years it has been known that the Minnesota moose hud ono 'great breeding ground, somewhere in tho north of the State, bat until now no ono has known where this place was. Ben Jackson and Gustave Her man, pino land "locators," ore the men who found tho breeding place of the moose by accident Jackson had a narrow escapo from death in conse quence. Tho tffo men woro in town a few days ago, fresh from tho woods, and Mr. Herman said to mo : "Wo were up in township GO. 20 north, looking up pine lands, and iu our wanderings came to an excellent trcot many miles in circumference. Wo determined to make a corefu.l in spection of the timber, and so entered from opposite sides. Tho snow was heavy, but we mado good progress on our snow shoeAlong in the after noon I carno to something whieh made mo open wide my eyes. It was a huge mooso yard, in which were, at tho least calculation, fully 500 moose. As far as I coald see amoag tho trees there wera moose, big ball3 and smaller cows! "I observed the h^rd for some time, and then attempted to get closer. 1 must havo mado somo noise, for the entire herd started off in tho opposite direction. After the animals bad gone, leaving a beaten path in tho deep snow many rods wide, I mado a tour of the yard, and foaad from a dozeu indications that it was au old stamp ing'place. "The trees were denuded of bark and small branches, and in many places tho bard ground was cut up as though by a plow. I found tho skele tons of two big bull moose, with the antlers firmly interlocked. Those bones evidently had been there for years, and told of a desperate battle. Hearing nothing from Jackson, who was about due, I started off on the trail loft by tho moose. The animals had made a road through tho snow over which an army could have marched. "?.mall trees were broken and old stumps overturned by tho mooso in thoir mad flight, and about a mile from the yard I came upon the man gled remains of a small cow moose. She had, no doubt, fallen as she ran, nod had bcea trampled to death by ber companions, as they rushed on in their efforts to escape. .?,T-* ot. dusk I found Jackson. He wiivx ivs lUttuv/ uk> x xuucuijuuu ijr missed him when I fired. At the foot of the tree lay what was left of Jack eon's ri3e. Tho stock was broken off and trampled into litt lo bits, while tho barrel was bent and twisted." "Yes, and if I had not climbed the treo when I did," put in Mr. Jackson, "I would have met tho same fate as did my riflo and my packsack. 1 was making my way through the woods when suddenly a noise like o hurri cane coming fell upon my ear. There was no wind stirring, and, therefore, I was at a loss to account for tho sound. Just then the herd of moose, many hundreds strong, carno into sight, and for a minute I felt sick. The animals were headed straight for me, and, knowing that a bullet or two would not chango them from their courses, I dropped my riflo nod \s ont up a tieo like a squirrol. Thc animals paid no attention to mo for a time. They <*a>hed along under me, tho ground trembling. When tho herd had gotten past, on old bull, who seemed to he bigger than nil outdoors, took his stand directly under the tree, and until Herman came along kept trying to knock down ray refngo. "Later Herman and I visited the yard, ar<d wo wero convinced that the animals had mado the region a breed ing ground for many years." When thc mooso law went into ef fect, fivo years ago, there wero few of tho auimals to bo fonud. Now they can bo seen frequently ia summer. They wander into small settlements in upper Minnesota. There is a flue $500 for killing a moose. When the law expires tho true sportsman, tho man who does not believe in wanton slaughter, will find Northern Minne sota a paradise for hunting. Bacteria anti Ker?ons Diseases. Another very largo proportion of cases of nervous disease is due direct ly or indirectly to the action of differ ent forms of bater?a, or disease'germs. Nearly all tho forms of moningitis, or brain fov cr, aro duo to tho direct ac tion of different forms of bacteria apou th9 membraaes that cover the brain. Other forms of acrvous dieeaso aro now'thought to bo of infeolious nature, duo to somo specifio organ ism. Others still aro duo to tho action of poisons produced by tho germs of other disoase3. Thcro is, for. example, a form of paralysis which not infre quently follows diphtheria, which is due, not to any weakness of tho ner vous system, but to tho action of tho diphtheritio poison npon tho peripheral nerves. Similar forms of paralysis may follow smallpox, typhoid fever, pneumonia or influenza. Many of tho diseases of tho spinal cord are of simi lor? origin. Locomotor ataxia and general paresis, two oommon and fatal diseases, aro in most cases the result of one of theso infectious diseases. Century._ Repairing the Parthenon.

The winds, first blowing from the majestic St. Lawrence River, ana then from the pino and spruce-covered mountains ol the Adi? rpnaacks, give a richness to tho atmosphere. (Tho outdoor Ute in this climat o gives a man a strong and sturdy physique, and his froo and independent moue ot living gives,him a rugged character. John Honry Henderson wes a man that enjoyed all these sturdy characteristics. Ile was always a stronr man and had never had a lover or othor serious illness. Brought up In a prosperous forming community he bo came ono of its mentally and physical ly strong citizens and gained a livelihood nt arpontry. as did Joseph in the Bible days, dat at last a break came that threatened to forever wreck hts health and happin< ss and end hts days ot usefulness and activity. Ia conversation with a newspaper man, Ur. Henderson told his story os follows: "I had spent two years In Minnesota and tho same loagth of time in Oregon, but the summer of '94 found me back at my o?d St. Lawrence County homo, in tho town ot Bop kinton, working industriously at carpenter ing. My home and shop were on a farm, and my i noona o was derived from repairing and building for my fanner neighbors. ''It was on a hot July afternoon in tho summer of '91 that one of my neighbors sont for me to come out to his hay field. Ho had broken the reach to his wagon und wanted it repaired at once so that he would not bo delayed In his baying To fix tho wagon I had to have a long, heavy plunk, and the nearest I could find waa a mile und a half distant" Many a man would shrink from shoulder ing a heavy plank on a hot afternoon and walking a mlle and a half, but Mr. Hender son said: "I didn't think mueh ab sut it ; I had always boen strong and so I carried the plank into the field and mended tho wagon. Before the afternoon was ovor I found that I had done wrong, that I had hurt my back and had to lie down, while sharp pains darted through my back, head and neck. "Thut was the beginning ot my troubla I found that I couldn't straighten up after that and I had to quit work. Tho pnlns troubled me almost constantly, and after sitting still a few momonts I would bavo to get up and move around in hopes of finding relief. I became useless and life became a bunion to me, and I couldn't ovon write 30 ba'i ly was I affected. "When I tried to work my nose would bleod freoly and I would bo dizzy. Pr> ?uently I felt so badly that Ihad to lie down, tnlments were no good, and nothing gave relief until I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. I had suffered nearly five months when I read ono of Dr. Will iams' advertisements and bought some of tho pills, which I commenced using, and after I bad used two boxes I felt belter In ovory way. Five boxes freed mo from the bunion I had borne and I was no longer troubled with my complaint." To-day Mr. Henderson is a well mon, strong, erect, broad-shouldered and with a ruddy complexion, notwithstanding his sixty-eight years of ag?. Ho worked stead ily all the summer and fall nod ?aid that hil health was much better than men of his age generally. "People remark that my health, and appearance seem to be bettor than lr years. My blood circulates botter, my hands fool warm, and what is unusual in a person of my age, my nails aro soft and grow Uko a young person's." Pink 1'iils wero truly n Ood-sond to Mr. Eondcrson, and he thoroughly appreciates the fuut und wonts bis friends to know how wonderfully thoy have benefited him. Ho now enjoys tho vigor of youth, and bnrd work hns" no torrors for him. Ho says: "I can work all d?v planing and sawing with out fooling any < 1 that lameness that used to bother me."
