My hushaiul, when ho breakfasts at
home. Is in tho habit of taking coffee*
at table—however, omitting to smoke
with it. You see, it is of moment that
Itis mouth ami mustache should be un
tainted with tobaeeo when he makes
his afternoon calls.
This morning the servant displayed
some slight awkwardness in tilling his
cup. and the amber liquid overflowed.
‘‘Was any one ever more clumsy'/”
he said. "You fool! You idiot! Take
it away!”
And then la* gave the table such a
thump that the butler's carelessness
wits but augmented, an inundation of
coffee followed, not only Into the sau
cer, but upon the cloth as well.
The man nimbly repaired the dam
age done and made good his escape.
J/aul bit his lips, bin said nothing fur
ther. However, I realized that he was
intensely annoyed.
Now, raid is or rather was until re-
cenily a st fit tiger lo all such impulsive
uciioits. Mis nalure was adverse to
tiny ado or quick words—in point of
fact, to anything lhat could be likened
to a scene. Hut this gentleman, al
ways so well poised, courteous and
thoughtful of his bearing, must have
been seriously troubled over some
thing to have thus forgot himself to
such a degree.
After a few moments of embarrass
ed silence he took a cigar from his
case, cut off the point and just as he
wits about to smoke it said:
“You do not object, (JccileV”
"Oh, no! Not in the slightest, Haul!
You must know that!”
1 assure you I said those words with
out any ulterior motive. Hut it seem
ed that Haul thought to the contrary,
for he sharply retorted:
“It Is waste of time for you to take
on a martyr’s air when you answer my
question. I can just as easily smoke
outside or elsewhere, at houses where
tobacco does not incommode the in
mates. Well, do we have tears now'/”
Indeed, they wore very near, but 1
tried to force them back to keep tliein
out of sight until 1 would be alone.
"Haul,” 1 said as tenderly as 1 could,
“do not be angry with me. lu reality
you have naught to complain of, and
moreover 1 have done nothing to you.
Now, why get so excited and cause me
such pain7”
My husband frowned slightly, then
extended his hand and kissed mine
that 1 bad tit once placed In his.
“You are right, CY ile. I beg your
pardon. I think I am a little nervous
today. We have some very Intricate
business to attend to at the mills.”
He Aits about to continue the lie,
but 1 Interrupted him.
“Forget business for the time. For
get the overturned coffeeeup. 1 ask
your attention for a few moments.
Let me have it with a good grace.
Surely you have a little time today to
give to your wife, my dear husband'/”
"Hut oh, certainly, certainly!”
He twirled his cigar between his tin-
gers. He wanted to rise, to go away,
to tiee from the explanation that he
foresaw, but there was no way open
to him. My request was such a nat
ural one. He could only avoid It by
losing his temper again, and for the
time being that prerogative had been
exhausted.
“At lit.si.” 1 said, “do smoke.”
1 held the flaming match toward him.
He lighted his cigar.
‘'Hut—1 have so little leisure,” ha
said. “Werklein”—
“Let Werklein wait for you.” 1 said.
“He Is accustomed to it. Indeed, Paul,
you cannot reproach me for misem
ploying your spare moments? I real
ly must speak to you today.”
“Very well, my dear,” he said. “1
will listen.”
Then his whole countenance chang
ed anew and grew linn and decisive.
1 felt that this being, who belonged to
me, with whose disposition I was so
well acquainted, whom 1 adored In
spile of all and who loved me, was
dominated by the will of another wo- j
man. Which "ill prove the strongest
- hers or mine?
And then I strove to w in.
1 put my hand on his wrist. The
muscles stiilYncd and resisted my light
pressure. Ah, there was once a time—
and not so long ago—when they al
ways trembled nt my touch! And they,
too. remembered those old days, not
withstanding the hostile will of anoth
er, for they yielded little by little until
j ids hand was in mine.
j “Haul,” I said, looking deep Into his
l eyes, trying to concentrate upon him
all the magnet ism of my love and de-
| votlon; "Paul, darling, do reassure me,
1 beg of you! 1 uni so fearful!”
“Roarful of what, 1 pray, CecileV” he
teiid.
'■That I may h/se you, dear,” 1 added.
“Now do not take your hand away. Do
not shrug your shoulders. You are loo
Just not to understand that my posi
tion is a horrible one. So many Ur os
1 have been compelled to believe, as
now, that I was betrayed. t Alas! I
have always kept silent. But this
time, Paul; this time!”
The hand still wished to escape from
my grasp, but 1 held It tlrmly, and bis
eyes would not meet mine.
“This tim*. Paul,” 1 thou said. "1
feel, l know, that an even graver sor
row menaces me. 1 have 'a greater
fear. No, do not say that I am in the
wrong to be so anxious! Some one
wants to take you from me, not for a
time, like those other periods when
jou always grew weary and neglectful
of them. Hut tlds time It is different.
Oh, Paul, Paul! You intend to leave
me—to leave mo till alone forever.”
He abruptly disengaged himself,
moved away, putting tho table be
tween us, and began to walk up and
down. He was greatly moved ami
wished to avoid my glances. 1 be
lieve now that he was then afraid of
relenting, and, taking me Into his
arms, 1 hearu him murmur: “What an
absurd Idea! Who has put such no
tions in your bend? Most likely Del
imit! He had best cease bis visits
here!” /
“No, Paul,” 1 said.'" “It is not Joan
Delimit, or, rather, It Is not he alone.
Society Is discussing our relations ad
libitum. 1 assure you they are talk
ing of our divorce as a settled thing,
and that Is an appalling thought to
me. Pray acknowledge, dear, that you
agree with me.”
As soon ns 1 had pronounced those
words my heart grew so cold and
seemed to cease beating, for Paul stop
ped walking, bit his lips and made no
reply.
“Paul,” I repeated In a broken voice,
“do tell me, dearest, that you do not
desire such a contingency! Hut speak,
speak! Please answer!”
“It Is not a question of divorce,”
Paul leplled, again at his ease. “To
he sure, if my life here is made un
bearable—you understand; if we must
constantly have such scenes, it would
be better to separate! But what Is the
matter, Coolie? Cecllc! Cecile! What
Is It, dear?”
I had risen. Hut suddenly my
strength failed me, and Paul, seeing
me totter, rushed toward me. He lift
ed me In his arms and carried me Into
the adjoining room. In a short time 1
revived and opened my eyes to find my
husband bending over me with a look
of tender solicitude depicted upon his
countenance.
"You were foolish, very foolish!” he
murmured, greatly troubled himself,
however. “How could you have such
ideas? Come; come, now! You see I
am here close to you, and 1 love you!”
“My dear, dear Paul!” I said. “Do
repeat those words!”
“1 love you,” he said.
“You are Indeed mine?" I then asked.
"I am indeed yours,” he repeated.
“You will never leave me?” 1 then
questioned.
“Never!” he assured me.
As he pronounced that last word it
was with an effort that he met my
glance, and 1 understood that Paul
was not sure of himself.
Then I spoke softly, tenderly to him:
“If you ever leave me, Paul, my life
will be ended. You will mortally
wound a being who lives v bnt for you.
one who has never done yen any
wrong/ who will suffer for you with
out recrimination, without any com
plaint. The only condition 1 ask is to
be near you. And you will uot be hap
py, Paul. 1 feel so contldciy. of that.
The coming years Mill seem long to
you, far from me. Take care, my dear
one; do not let any one steal you from
me.”
“Cecile!” Paul said In a low tono.
He softly pressed his lips to my hair,
and It seemed to me that I had to some
extent won him back again.
"Will you do me a favor that Mill
make mo very happy?” 1 then asked of
him.
“Indeed I will!” Paul replied.
And so 1 murmured: “(live mo to-
worroM’ evening; give It to Cecile and
Genevieve. 1 am sure that you have
not forgotten the date—the -Hth of
April? It Is Genevieve’s birthday, you
know. Tomorrow she will be 11 yea
old.”
“I promise,” Paul said, rising.
Mill dine Mith you both here tomorro
evening. But you must not be blue,
he added. "Y’ou must not refer again
to this nonsense.”
At that moment he Mould have prom
ised anything to be assured of my si
lence on this subject.
“As you have asserted that 1 have
deceived myself, dearest,” 1 then said,
“1 ask nothing better titan to believe
you.”

While so many are writing words
of praise about litnehonored institu
tions ami noble teachers, I would like
to say something of dear old Lime
stone, and my faithful preceptor, Dr.
William Cuitis. It was in February
of Mil) that 1, a shy girl, boarded the
train nt Santee, I nion county, and
met, for the lirat time, my beloved
and honored teacher. Under bis
watchful care, we were a merry, hap
py set of girls, for our homesickness
soon left us when we found in him a
second father. Four years after the
war, our fair country was bankrupt,
and, tts a result, there were not near
so many pupils as formerly. As Dr.
Curtis termed it, he and Mrs. Curtis
were blessed with a large family of
children. The Seminary at this time
was an imposing brick building, con-
tuining about one hundred and fifty
rooms, including chapel, large, airy
parlors, recitation rooms, laboratory
and library. There were long corri
dors, in which the evening shadows
gathered early, and we heard it whis
pered, by a few superstitious girls
and the servants, that supernatural
creatures of evil hovered there, but
some of us preferred to believe them
guardian angels. On a summer
night the campus was lovely, espe
cially when the full moon shone down
through tho grand old water oaks.
Even now, at this distant time, 1
have the scene distinct in my mind’s
eye, and think it fully comparable to
Goldsmith’s lovliest village of the
plain.
There was a gradual slope down to
the delightfully- cold limestone
spring; this slope furnished us with
a nice walk in the early morning or
afternoon. On the rock around the
spring we sometimes found hund-
fulls of chestnuts, put there by the
boys of Mr. McArthur’s school. On
rare occasions we were allowed to
speak to these nice young men, but
never recovered enough composure to
thank them for the kindness, so
touch were we like these long-eared
large-eyed animals of tho meadow.
Our Dr. Curtis, as wo called him, to
distinguish him from his father, was
short of stature and rather stout,
with florid complexion and silvered
hair—he always wore a black suit
and Miiitc tie, and walked so softly
that the girls never knew at what
moment he would appear among us.
He was cheerful and sociable and
talked with us at table on some
improving topic.- His servant at
table was Isaac, whom ho always
addressed as “Sir Isaac,” and said
Sir Isaac told the carpenter to cut a
large hole for the cat and a smaller
one for tho kitten. We sometimes
called him, as we walked over the
lime quarry going to the church on the
hill, “Little Lime Dealer,” for his
august LL. D., which always caused
a laugh from him. Once he showed
us a lovely miniature and called it
Victoria—said he and Vic were sweet
hearts before he left England. We
heard tlds cum grnno salis for we
never could become reconciled that
those lovely lineaments belonged to
the great (Jueen, and, indeed, we
thought our Dr. Curtis too line for
the ugly old Oueen. Then he told us
of riding out with his lady-love, dear,
gentle Mrs. Curtis, and there were
some pretty lilies growing in a pond,
which she wanted—he said ho would
get them for her. if she would
promise to be his wife—he got the
lilies, but the horse threw him into
tho pond, and his fine suit was ruin
ed. Dr. Curtis was ever earnest in
instruction, gentle, but firm in his
demeanor; he taught ever to emulate
virtue and abhor vice. Character-
building was an essential part of our
daily study. Not once did he use
angry words, or harsh tones to con
trol us, but a frown and a shake of
the head were sufficient—sometimes
these were followed by a smile, as if
he feared he had been too severe.
System was his watch-word—there
was never any confusion and every
thing went on like clockwork. I do
not think any teacher ever loved
more than he. How anxious were
we to please him—to give his line
ami instructive preaching undivided
attention—how softly we stepped,
how modulated were our voices
when we were told he was suffering
from those fearful headaches, which,
even then, portedrfed tho end—how*
happy we were when he returned to
tho school room. Dr. Curtis spoke
often and reverently of his father,
with whom he is now resting from
his arduous labors, in the New Jerusa
lem.
1 Mould like to say something of
my other kind teachers, Misses
Sunie and Annie Curtis, and Miss
Frelove Henry, if there were space.
Then, too, I bold in fond remem
brance my young companions—one
of whom, our special pet and favorite,
who mms soon to bo united to a young
man of noble promise, passed away
