From the Sith of August, 188-, it ws generally a toss up which of us tan the first reader to appear in the nailing room. The assistants often IHer name was Bella Whitcombe, learned that very soon. An official it ono of her slips on my table by listake. She had asked for Strauss' imous "Lecture on Cardiac Trou les." and the sJip came to me larked "In use." I had tho great it pleasure in tho world in return jig the slip to her with a smile, ihen slut nm i led back at mu with tose sweet, brown eyes of hers and ?marked: "What a nuisance! I did ?want it." After this we often exchanged rord?, trivial words. Any pretext ras f?ood enough for me that pro nrel mo u glance or a smile from II did not get on at all with studies.

I Blissful, lazy, heartbreaking, anx ious hours, day after day from half wt 9 until 3, with an interval of goree quarters of an honr for lunch.

"Tomorrow, dear," said Bella, "ai ll o'clock would ho (ho hot time for him." An exciting hut felicitous evening followed, unmarred hy my sister's scoff at the idea of my marrying a medicine woman; so she termed my Bella. But when I was at Bella*? father's door I did not feel happy. What were my prosjiects? I had $10? a year of my own ; nothing else. Of all things, too, Professor Whit combe was a teacher of philosophy. It is just those nieu who are so con cerned with ideals that look so tre mendously ?harp after the down right mat' x'ial good things of this life. Tho gentleman disconcerted me from the outset hy his formal man ners and his hine glasses. Up went his eyebrows when I told hint what I wanted. Still he heard me to tho end. Only when I had exhausted ull my powers of asseveration about tho great things I could and would do with Bella engaged to mo did he cough and pass sentence. "I never in my life, Mr. -" (glancing at my card) "Marrihone, heard anything more absurd or im practicable than your proposition. I have nothing more to say. Good morning." When I was outside, I held my senses just sufficiently to rush back to Great Russell street. ?Some one elso got my seat, of course, a hulk ing, raw young Scotsman, also a Bart's man. I waited, however, till lunchtime and then told her all. "Poor Phill" said she. "I-I'm afraid it is nil over!" We are again among the Greek gods and goddesses. Sho cried gen tly as sho spoke. "But you love roe?" I asked in a boiling rage against fate. "Yes, I love you," said she chok ingly. "Very well, then; I sholl win you yet. Bella, always love me, and things will right themselves." The kiss we then exchanged seem ed our last, for. though I saw her in the afternoon, she never Again ap Xieared in the reading room. I wrote to her and received one lotter in reply as follows: Mv VKUY DEAR PnIL-rapa forbids mo to corrchT-ciiHi with you in r.ny way. and I mun, alas, obey him. I can only repent what you know. Yon aro cnshiined in my heart. Let tis pruy that the futuro may bo brighter for us both. Your fond BELLA. Sweet, sweet letter, in spite of the despair it indicated ! For the ensuing fortnight I was like one bereft of half his senses. 1 tried to work, could not and ran down in health at a gallop. . I learned that Professor Whit combe was a cold hearted, scheming monster. He worshiped rank and money, though he taught tho pur suit of the noble, the true and tho beautiful. Hypocrite ! J* was plain I had nothing to hope for from him. Then my father compelled me to seo our doctor-he and they all were so alarmed at my personal appear ance, plus a coufb. The upshot was that in mid-De cember I was in \Le bay of Biscay, bound for Australia. It was ?ny only chance, said the doctor. He little knew. One word from that philoso pher fellow, and ? would have been a Hercules in five minutes. . However, the Rubicon was passed. I had written "goodby" to Bella and received no answer. Landing at Melbourne, I at once made arrangements for going up country to present certain letters to a cattle owner, .Mr. Grant, among whose acres and quadrupeds I was supposed to have the best possible chance of regaining health. And here I settled down. - It was less than 18 months after ward that I received an awful note from Professor Whitcombe inform ing me that his daughter was mar ried to a "distinguished colleague in every way able to insure her happi ness." That was how he put it. I was further requested to see both the absurdity and impropriety of continuing to address letters to Bella at her father's house. My own people confirmed the mis erable nowa. They didn't know the particulars, but they had seen Bella's name in The Times. Once more I had a fit of raving, but it passed, and then I set to work to make money, the only aim that seemed left to me. Under advice from Mr. Grant I had already bought a good block of land. I now prepared to stock it. In three years I was worth $10, 000, and scant joy the knowledge afforded mo. This, bow?ver, was so?hing to what happened in the fourth year. Gold waa discovered all along our line of country, and an expert I had told me I was a millionaire. So it t/roved. After a Vast deal of excite ment x otoaroQ out ox un? country fabulously rion, considering my an tecedents. Bot, though rich, I wasn't happy, being one of those fellows, some times enviable and sometimes to be pitied, who, having once desired a thing, are never happy until they have got it. Moreover, my heart had gone wrong, what with, the excitement and my rather rackety, desperate way of libing latterly. The first thing I did in town after greeting tho old tone wan io cuueuu oh! Jensen of Barfs. To my dis may, ho agreed that uiy heart was really very wroug? "YA hut has done it f" ho asked. "Disapxioiutntent," 1 replied care lessly aa my thoughts recurred to Bella. "By thc way," bo added, "there's a downright clever woman specialist 1 would strongly adviso you to see.11 "You say that," 1 exclaimed, as tonished, for tho dear old chap knew all about my other caeo and also had in tho old '.imo expressed his con? tempt for tho fair sex as medicine women. "I mean it. Marra hie, I seriously assure you " ho replied, with a cu rious little cough. "She's written a remarkable little monograph. Here, I have it by me. " Ho showed it to me, and a brief glance proved that the writer at least knew her subject. "Mrs. B. Parsons, M. D.,M was her name. Then wi'.h a shrug I promised Jensen J would see the lady. Heav en bless tho old chap ! And what ex cellent luck it was, my thinking to go to him for advice! I was inw ardly somewhat amused the next morning when I called in Harley street and joined a couple of demure middle aged females in Dr. Parsons' wc i ting room. In less than half an hour I was something infinitely better than amused. "Bo so good as to step this way, 6ir," said the man, and I and my card entered Bella's sanctum togeth er. "Bella!" I cried, and "Philip!" cried she, and wo weroiu each oth er's arms before tho amazed servant cleared out of tho room. It was a tremendous meeting, aud minutes pusscd before I recovered my sanity. Then, with a fresh prick at that troubled heart of mine, I ex claimed: "But your husband! Good gra cious, what have I doue?" "He is dead," she said. "It was a wretched business. My father had set his mind on it. and there seemed nothing tor it but to make him happy, seeing that I could not" "Could not what, Bella?'" "Could not make yon believe that you were happy," sho said shyly. "And your father? Oh, hut never mind now. I'm a Croesus, positively rolling in money-that is to say (for I was conscious of my meanness), I hope he is well, my darling." "No, Philip; he, too, is dead." I am sorry to say that tho news did not grieve me. Then I started and told Bella ev erything, and afterward she told mo everything. By tho timo that wo had don? witl our respectivo his tories the morning was far spent. "And now, dearest, you must prescribe for me," I said, and I re lated my symptoms. I But she showed such a sweetly grave face at my words that I shuf fled out of tho role of patient back into that of lover. "At 'any rate, my Bella, you will now be my life's physician?" 1 ask ed. And so she is. We study each oth er's hearts-that is the main busi I ness of our two lives.

A lieutenant of these reservists, bursting with importance, calls out to a passing soldier: "Hi, there, barber, barber! Send me the barber!" "Yes, sir. Yes, lieutenant," says the soldier, saluting and starting off on a run. Presently anothf tr soldier arrives and salutes the lieutenant "Barber, eh?" says tho lieutenant "Y-yes,.sir"-. "Then take my razor and things here and shave mo quickly. " "But, h^utenaut'' "No buts about it. I tell yon to shave me." "I'm afraid, lieutenant" "What business have yon to be afraid t I tell yon to shave me right off!" The soldier seizes the razor and at the.first movement cuts the lieu tenant badly on the cheek. "Blockhead 1 Scoundrel !" shouts the officer. "Don't you know how to shave any better than that?" "No. sir, I"? "You what? Aren't you the com pany harbert" "No, sir, I'm not a barber at all, only my name's Barber, sir. I play tho fifo in tho band, sir." ~~ SIGHTS !:. ARMENIA. X, The Kur?tV!>. ?:< : t '.or.

Tho nar amount iumro rion re maining on ono's mivid after having traveled in Annen ia i- that if you wero to co over tho tame ground ugain tomorrow there would ulwaya bo tho charin ni tho; unexpected to which to look forward. F um speak ?* g of thc time before tho country was devastated by tho Kurds. When an Englishman appeared upon tho Keene, every one - Turks, Kurds, Armenians, devil worshipers, and so on-got ready to help him. I never saw such willingness tn guido cud direct a stranger in my life. But it seldom took a more practical form. Having done every th in?, in theory, that was necessaiy, the Turk or Kurd or devil worshiper went hack to his hut and considered it done in fact. And thero remains in my mind to this day the sense of deep injury and vivid annoyance which I used to ex perience when, toward the? end of a long ride, weary, travel sore, hun gry, I would pull up my apology for u mule and ask some stalwart, moun taineer how far it was to the village where ? intended to pass tho night. He would blandly assure me that it was only an hour's journey and do part. At tlie end of an hour there would not he what I once heard an exasperated missionary describe as "a scintilla of a village" in sight. Then I would meet another man. "Oh, yes, effendi, you'll get thero in three-quarters of an hour!" Tho tired dogs and horses and mules would prick their ears and start on ugain, as if they, too, had heard the welcome words. Three-quarters of an hour later a downcast assemblage of men and animals would gaze over thc plain in tho fast falling dusk vainly looking for a village. After this had been repeated some half a do/en times, however, just as we were sorrowfully gathering up our reins iu our chilled lingers, pre paring to push on with hitter hearts and empty hollies, 20 or "JO rough haired, ferocious Kurd dogs would emerge from tho gloom, circle around us and bite at our riding . boots by way of welcome. These dogs belonged to the Kurds who had settled in villages and were enor mous brutes. They usually wore hugo collars, studded with nails, so that ii a wolf flew at their throats ho was received by a mouthful of sharp points and could not get a grip. 1 once bought a magnificent Kurd dog for -! shillings. He was so fierce that 1 dared not go near him. Kind ness, I thought, would have its duo effect on him in a few days, so I had a rope fastened to his collar and gave tho other end of tho ropo to a mounted Zaptieh. The last thing I saw of .that dog was a frightened horse and Zaptieh disappearing in the distance, aud the animal fetching a compass for his native village, with what Artemus "Ward once described as "a select assortment of trouser patterns" in his mouth. These dogs are so intelligent that j they seem to understand tho slight est sign from their masters. I once saw my man buy a fowl for our evening meal from a Kurd und pay down lao money. Then he asked for the fowl. "Oh, there it is, effendi 1" said the Kurd, pointing to a limp mass of feathers standing on ono leg just outside the hut. "All you have i to do it to catch and kill it." My ' man, likeAgag, "walked delicately" toward tho fowl, and tho limp bun dle of feathers immediately "put out" in tho direction of Si vas. My man went after it, sword in hand, ?with tho full intention of slicing off the fowl's head and bringing back its gory body in triunii>b. A big Kurd dog immediately started after my man, who gained rapidly upon the fowl. Just as hu was about to slico oil its head an ominous growl j from the rear warned him that he j must turn and defend himself. Tho I fowl stopped, limply watched the struggle and gained her second wind. When the exasperated man ' had driven off the dog, he again pur sued the fowl, which seemed to re member an important engagement in the direction of Diarbekir. Again the fowl was nearly overtaken; again came an ominous growl, the gleam of magnificent teeth through the gloom, and again the fowl limp ly presided as umpire while tho com bat raged. When the dog was driven away, the fowl started off in tho di rection of Samsoun, and my man re turned to the hut with a piteous re quest for sticking plaster. I made my supper that eveni ag off tho aged and moldy heel of a Dutch cheese. -London Chronicle. EUstlc.

A most amusing attack of "?ervos" of this order was witnessed by u large crowd ut a country church not long since. Tho bridegroom was Into in arriving. When at length he came abreast of the church gales, bea teni and flurried, the sight of his white robed lifo partner in the midst of an imposing pat ty fairly scatter ed what courage ho had churned foi the occasion.

As it turned out, ho was tot late. Tho brido felt herself justiiiet in declining to fulfill her partof thi contract with so diffident a partner But perhaps as unique anexa mph of what may bo termed "alta; fright" as any known was ono whicl caused quito a sensation in a mid land town somo years ago.

Whei ou a third occasion tho sumo weak noss overcame him as soon as ho on terod tho church, it became eviden that his physical courage was no equal to tho ordeal. Whether tin bride declined to look foolish for t fourth time, or whether tho cere mony was subsequently performet in private, did not transpire.
