"I hardly expected to find yon so young," Mrs. Cameron said. "No?" asked Miss Conover. "Still _you will finn me proficient." "Oh, to he sure," Mrs. Cameron hurriedly said. "Please walk doyn to breakfast." Tl ie breakfast room reached, shs eaid: "Miss Conover -r- Brice Ruther ford, my nephew." The name fe tar tied the young lady' - g0 iuuch that her nel? possession al most failed her. She bowed in rec ognition of the introduction, and then turned her attention to the two children who.yere to, he under her charg?. 1 :; During,the morning meal she cast several furtive glances at Brice Rutherford.' Ho was young, handsome, refined, "with perhaps rather'ah exalted opinion of him self. It waB not remarkable that, dur ing the summer he began to take considerable interest in the pretty little governess. He was thrown al most daily in her society, an$ her frankness was especially charming to him because he was not mach disposed to be frank hjmsehfc His interest at last assumed a more fervent shape and finally led him to make a dede ration of love. A look of triumph crossed her face, but it escaped his notice,.., for she was seated m the shadow. "This isn't unexpected," she re plied, "but"- . . ' 1 Brice Rutherford frowned at the remark and waited for her to con clude it. "Yen ses, you don't know any thing about me," she said, starting in afresh. "Oh, but I flatter myself I do," was his reply. "I never act without proper consideration." "I mean as to my-my-antece dents," Miss Conover saicL "As to my-my-purposes"- \ "I don't cure about your antece-' dents," he interrupted "and aa xor your purposes ? h?p? one of them will be to make me as happy as you can I" ) . ,, * , "Oh, to be sure," replied she. "Well, I om glad that we under stand each other, and" "But I don't know that we do," Interrupted she in turn. ."I know that you proposed to me, hut I can not recall that ? acoepted you." "Oh !" ho ?jotulated, With ft crest fallen look. Miss Conover laughed' softbr and said, "I am ?rilling to hold $rour offer under, advisement." "That, wC;j^Mfc?fy. me,'' h? replied. " "But itmust.^iejfrnn?dahe? "I think I am according you' a gtvat deaL" 'ti "Well, maybe vfou are," ho said with a grimace. ."I can't say that Pm excessively grateful." 'I'll give you my answer in Sep tember, Mist Conover replied. "That isn't fax off, you know* "WelL no. it assented hs, and that closed the conversation. . In the early part ot September business took him into me city and he was absent a week. When f he returned to his aunt's country seat, he found that the pretty little governess was no longer there. He was almost dumfounaed. "WherefisherWaskorl "I don't know,?- replied Mrs. Camerori "Amone; fJaer ?wenda, BA? doubt."' | . ?| : v "She io ' coming back?" "No, much to my regret,and the disappointment of the children." Brice Rutherford stared ak the carpet. . . 'Did aho leave a message for me?" he asked. < "A letter* at least," replied Mrs. Cameron. "I notice that there is ene on her bureau directed to you." He hurried upstairs in a manner not in keeping Jwitfc his habitual dignity. When ho opened tho en- , velope, he was surprised to find one of his own letters in it, although he had never written to her. A look of consternation spread over his face as he read it. In Ins boyhood he had had a little sweetheart named Boso Balaton. It was stipulated between the parents of both that the two should be mar ried when ?they were old enough. He was sent to school on th? con sent, where ho stayed until he Ihad attained his majority. He then *?>te hera?, declining,ffe renew the attachment of his boyhood or to carry out the stipulations.

Bo you think her coming Eera was-was-planned?" -'\WHy, no, Brice. It came about by accident. She didn't know you were here or that I am your aunt/' ''You are sure of that?" , "Of course I am. What does ehe say in the letter?" "It isn't from her." "Eh! Who, then?" "Why did she masquerade here under another name?" evaded Brice. "Why should she masquerade any where?" . : . - "MY dear boy, I can't answer that,'* Mrs. Cameron said. "I am not convinced that she did." *? '. 'SWell, it doesn't matter much anyhow," Rutherford rejoined, which was a bold false VM, for he knew that it mattered a good deal to him. 1 A year later found Kate Conover standing in a grove in the Yellow stone park. She was looking' down a long vista of charming scenery, her face bronzed, her form plump and the blue in her eyes deeper and sweeter than ever, i She heard footsteps behind her, and on turning around beheld a handsome, sun browned tourist. A second, and her face grew Tory red, for the man was Brice Rutherford. She had punished, him, to, be sure, but she had also punished herself. He. relieved her of her embar rassment by offering his hand with easy gracefulness. 'Xii now take your answer," he said.' "What answer ?" she asked* with renewed blushes; "This is September," he re minded. - i "Oh!" ejaculated she. "So it is, but I named last September. I left you my answer." "But there wasn't scything in it for me, or else I was too stupid t4 see it. It may h?ve implied" "Yea, it implied," she interrupted, with a charming little laugh. . "Oh, bother that idiotic letter!" Brice cried. "And your stumpy, romping, freckled faced tomboy sweetheart, BOBO Ralston;" added she, quoting from the letter; "I meant nothing by it, and I'm sorry I wrote it," replied Brice, get ting red in the face in tura. "I could not foresee that I'd after ward nieet Bose Ralston in Kate Conover and fall in love with her. You have two names, and you should not be punctilious about as suming a third. Hine is at your service. Please give me the answer you promised." "Well, Brice/' she said, her blue Sss flanging with tun, "I am not le to recall tho question with much distinctness.

BUT AMIABLE* ; Ugly Mon Who Wore Ab lo to Fasclnat? thc Fsif 3?x. One of the men who possessed the lady killing faculty to a. most surprising degree Was Napoleon 'Bonaparte's rival in the ? affestions of Mari? Louise, tho infamous and all powerful Neipperg, He waa an ugly creature, with small abilities and yet smaller fortune, and ho bad broken many hearts about tho Aus trian court before Marie Louise saw and fell furiously in love With him.. With everything to lose and nothing to geln by her encourage ment of the man, she left no stone unturned until she was able to make herself Neipperg's wife. In the eyes of the world it was a terrible degradation for the widow of the French emperor to become the wife af an Austrian count, but she cared not a whit what the world said, as was the'case with the wo men who ran after the u^ly spend thrift Wilkes and the m>-.d Due de Richelieu. Wilkes was famous in ! Is day all over England not only as lord mayor and chamberlain and a very loud talking patriot, but ns the ugliest man of his time* and the most ad mired by the. women. He flouted and ill treated all of them with the exception of his daughter, but it had not the desired effect of cooling their affections; As to the Due doRiohelieu, though men could not tolerate him..when he was shut up in the Bastille crowds of women, old and young and rich and p?or/used to collect every day at the hour'when he took his ex ercise on the parapets and. adore him from a distance and deplore the incarceration ot so charming a per son. Theodore Hook was* another ugly man who was irresistible to the softer sax, for it is proved clearly that when a man is agreeable to women they care not in the least what his personal appearance may be. Liszt proved this. When an old man, with a hard, ygly face, women begged permission to kiss his ugly hands and raved , and sentimentalized over him as ' though ho were Adonis' self. Doz ens of schoolgirls and countesses who worshiped at his shrine cared cot a pin for his music nor under ! stood a note of it, but were keenly alive to the charm of his personal ; ity, which ho woman, so far aa we know, was eve? able or willing to withstand. A Remedy For Legal Rus?. The young lawyer was flounder ing in a tangle of his own making in a case ho had before a supreme court justice, who is known, says the New York Tribune, as the hu morist of the bench. The justice listened attentively to the young man's efforts to disen tangle himself, but after awhile ho was visibly impatient, andU^ouna man ? perceived that the time ha& come for excuses.- So he began: | "rou.see,,your honor, tn be:per> xV^ry?frft?kt wi?i ?re^ 'M tt'i?v least0 bit rusty on methods of pro cedure in cases of this nature. I trust that your honor will bear with me and advise mo in the matter." "Why, cfciiuinly,-" replied the jus tice, smiling. "I w?l be oily too glad to advise you." The ?see of the young lawyer be gan to brighten, only to he shrouded in gloom a moment later, when the JUSVMO (uiueu ; "Sly advice to you, young man, is that you go and study law/' Seth feSade a Cont coolon. Wien he made his customary call upon the object of his affec tions tho other evening, the young men displayed more than the ordi nary nervousness that usually marked his bearing. "What's troubling you, George?" asked the lovesick maiden, noticing his condition. "Oh, I have something to confess to you an? 1 don't know how it will affect you." "Well, never mind. I'm prepared for anything/" ."Clara, l ama somnambulist." "Oh, pshaw;, don't worry!

There were, it seems; 'ladies' tail ors'' and tailor made dresses in the days of .Queen Elizabeth. A con tributor of the Tailor and Cutter has been visiting Cumnor and was shown a letter written by the ill fated Amy Bobsart shortly before her death at Cumnor House, which Sir Walter Scott describes in "Kenilworth." It was to a Mr. William Edney, tailor at the Tower, and refere to the alteration of a gown he. was making for her and contains a promise to see him paid. The unfortunate lady died hefore the gown was finished, and the poor tailor had to wait for five years be fore he was paid by the Earl of Leicester. - An optimist is a man who io sat isfied with what he doesn't get. - You can't convinces girl that marriage ia J? failure until after she NEGROES WITH A BROGUE, CurlOUS Linguistic Phenomenon in Weat Indian IsJand. The islands of Martinique, St. Tincent, Barbados, Montserrat, St Lucia and Guadeloupe, besides af fording an iUiroitablo field for the study of seismology, constitute in themselves one of the greatest eth nological curiosity shops in the world, so that he who visits these islands may stand prepared for a surprise at every turn. One of the strangest ethnological freaks is to be found on the island of Montser rat. This island is one of the oldest' British colonies in America and was first settled by Irish emigrants from Connaught. Subsequently negro slaves were introduced in the island, whose descendants form the bulk of its present nopulatio.1, for here as elsewhere in the Antilles the white mau seems to have died out and disappeared, leaving the negro in undisputed possession of the soil. The negro slaves imported from Africa in 1648 learned the English language from tho Irish settlers and Slnnters, and in consequence they o this day speak the Irish brogue with the same breadth of accent as -thc people of Kerry or Donegal. An amusing and true story is re lated of an Irish saddler who some few years ago engaged to an English firm having large sugar planta i tions in Montserrat to go to that island ^ in its employ. The ship on which he made "the voyage hav ing reached the roadstead of the 'capital of the colony, a number of negroes swarmed about the ship in their lighters soliciting carrying custom. One of them addressed the Irish saddler in his native Connaught brogue. The latter in surprise asked,; "Thunder and turf, how long hov yez been here?" The negro, thinking he meant the length of time he had been living !n that par ticular part' of the island, replied, "Three months." "Three months ?" exclaimed the Irishman. "Three months, and so black already? Be the powers Oi'll not ?thay among yez anither dayl" The Irishman, in spite of all explanation and persua sion, returned to Ireland, declaring that $1,000 peu day would not suffice to induce him to remain in a country where the sun's rays wero ! powertul enough to burn a white man black in less than three months. '_ The First Pire Extinguishers. The earliest mention of fire ex tinguishing apparatus of any kind is found in the building accounts of the city of Augsburg, Germany, for the year 1518. In these they are denominated "instrumenta for j fires" and "water syringes useful at lires." .Anthony Blatner, a gold smith at Friedberg, is credited with being the inventor and manufae i turor, he having at that time be come a citizen of Augsburg. These syringes must have been of considerable size, as they are de scribed as being mounted on wheels . ent? worked by levers. Caspar Uchott, a noted Jesuit, gives an ac A&uni of one built at Nurembe~3 in 1657, the largest squirting f ?.'ne of which there is any record. It was mounted on a sledge 10 feet long, 4 feet in width and drawn by two horses. It had twp work ing cylinders placed horizontally in the cistern, which was 8 feet long. 4 feet high and 8 feet wide. Twenty eight men were required to work ft. and it was capab?e ox throwing o jet of water one inch in diameter to a height of eighty feet. * The Teeth. Tc keep the teeth perfectly clean brush thoroughly night and morn ing, using a pure dentifrice, and rinse the mouth after every meal with an antiseptic lotion, also using the quill toothpick to remove par ticles of food. The brush should be used up and down on the teeth, as this allows the bristles to pass be tween the teeth, and it is also less likely to .injure the gums. The in side pl1 the teeth should receive the same-treatment as the outside, and the contact surface of the mo lars should be thoroughly scrubbed. Never pick the teeth with any metal implement; do not crack nuts with them or bite threads. Extremes of temperature in food or drink should be avoided. Hot soup should not be followed by iced water or ice cream by hot coffee. ?nroughty Pronounced Darby. Pronunciation of English proper names is a marvel of inconsistency, but/there is an American family, Virginian, that outstrips such Eng lish vagaries as Cholmondeley, pro nounced Chumly, and Beauchamp Beacham. The Virginia name is Soiled Enroughty and pronounced irby. Tho story goes that a cer tain country squire of the name, of Darby was loft a fortune upon the condition that he change his name to Enroughty. Ho agreed to clo this and thereafter wrote his nenie En roughty.' 'His friends, however,; continued to call him Darby? and' the custom has been handed down from generation to generation. Wat?* Cor? for Oil ronlo Oonntlpatlon. Take two cups of hot water half an hoar, before each meal and just before going to bed, also a drink of water, hot or cold, about two hours after each meal. 'Take lots of outdoor ex ercise-walk, ride, drive. Make a regular habit of thia and in many oases chronic constipation may be cured without the use of any medicine. If a purgative is required take something mild ai.d gentle like Chamberlain's Summer, and Liver Tablets. For sale by Ore-Gray & Co. Guano ls Growing Scarce ii g ti b li c ( ( ( . The supply of one fertiliser upon whioh the world has loug drawn for the enrichment of the soil is nearly exhausted. Now and then some islet of the Paoifio whioh has remained un dil oovorod or neglected till a late day is found to be rich in guano though most of the guano islands have been despoiled of all their natural wealth. Nameless Island (it has a native name by the way) is ono of the guano islan >B whose deposits were not disoovercd till within the last few years. This uninhabited rook, upon whioh no one thought it worth while to land until recently, now presents a busy scene. A wharf has been built out into the sea for the accommodation of the Australian guano schooners that bring supplies to tho force of miners who are digging up the deposits and loading them on vessels bound for Sydney. In the course of a few years everything worth taking away from Nameless Island will have been re moved and then it will be deserted again. The same history is likely to be re peated at the little island, a few hun dred miles from Japan, whose claims to the rich guano deposits found there have just been recognised by our gov ernment. Japan is a great consumer of fertilisers. Thousands of tons of fish are buried every year around the roots of the tea shrubs, Japan uot yet having learned the lesson we are teach ing that it is worth while to build faotories to convert menhaden and fish refuse into fertilizers. AH the guano found on this island will be taken to Japan and then the I Bouroe of supply will be abandoned, like scores of other Paoifio islands whioh onee yielded large quantities of the fertilizer. Until a few years ago many of these islets were marked on the very best maps as belonging to the United States. We had not claimed sover eignty over them, and there was no reason why they should he mapped as belonging to us except that our sohooners alone were engaged in car rying away the only riohes they seem ed to possess. Nearly all of them are now in the domain of England and Germany, but it is doubtful if they ever will be utilized in any way. The very rec son why large stores of valua ble fertiliser accumulated there unfit ted them for haman ocoupanoy. Soaroely a drop of rain every falls on them. Their aridity, conserved the commercial value of their deep de posits of guano, but the same phe nomenon makes them undesirable for other human enterprises. The imports of guano into our ooon try and Europe have now nearly ceased, owing to the exhaustion of the sources of supply. About the middle of the last century, when no fertilizers were sold west of Pennsylvania, we were importing about 60,000 tons of guano a year, five-eights of the supply ooaing from the guano islands along the coast of Peru. At that time all the. imports were received at Balti more and bore the inspection brand of the guano inspector there. Those years for about three decades were the palmiest days of guano digging along the Peruvian coast. The islands of this very arid region were covered with the excrement and remains of seabirds that during many centuries had accumulated to a great depth. The agricultural value of this fertiliser was well-known to the an cient Peruvian*, whose laws forbade the killing or molestation of the birds; thus modern farming has been indebted to these civilized aborigines of centuries ago for a great deal of the fertiliser that has enriohed the fields of this oountry and Europe. Bat the Peruvian islands have now been practically swept clean of their gnanp deposits. Our imports of over 50,0v? tons of guano a year have drop ped to less than 5,000 tons; and most of this is not pure guano, but phos phate rook, whioh requires chemical treatment before it can be utilized. Most of the guano now imported comes from Navassa, Sombrero and other places where there is considerable rainfall. T o rain leaches the soluble salts from the guano and the underly ing rock becomes altered to a consid erable depth. This limestone, thus altered by the salts from the guano, is what is mined at Navassa and else where. It is usually called bone phosphate of lime and is the form io whioh four-fifths of the guano still utilized is received. The latest reports from the great nitrate fields of Chile is that the yield is decreasing in some of the most pro ductive mines and that new ground is beginning to bo worked. The farmers of northwestern Europe are still buy ing more than a million tons a year of this very valuable fertilizer, and per haps the supply will be equal to the demand for many years to come. It is a significant fact, however, that the miners who are working by thousands to supply the demand are beginning togo further afield and .are opening deposits thus far untouched because they are not so conveniently situated for shipping nitrate as the mines al ready developed.-Now York Sun.
