Miss Barbara's Lover. A rHA KNSGIlv.IG STOR, SHALL !". There was wrati in Miss Barbara' tones and deter mination in het ,' countenance. y /i~2"But, auntic "I shall! didn't make thij garden for th< benefit o f t h< T = neighbors' hens, and I w:ll kill onE if I can. Just see that-and that !" Her indignant finger indicated th< tortoes lying in red ruins at hei ieet, then the ragged corn that ros: forloruly further on. The curran bushes were still stirring where th< last marauder had scuttled through. Sylvia suddenly smiled. "Auntie, it's a fowl theft," she said. "It is-and, as I can't stop it b fair means, I'll try fowl," respondei Miss Barbara, gtimly, beginning witi .strained vigor to gather up th< )ecked tomatoes and lay them on the grape trellis. "Are you prepared to go to law, "I am prepared to do anything-or mysi-e of the fence. Go in to you: embroidery, Sylvia--you're of nt use as a scarecrow." She waved her trowel martially, and Sylvia fled in laughing haste. The silence that is vocal with birds and insects and rustling leaves settle, over the garden, where Miss Barbara' energetic figure bade defiance to the thuemometer. Charles Dudley War nier once spent a summer in a garden, and has remarked in consequence that he likes neighbors and likes chickens, but he does not think they ought -tc be united. Miss Barbara agreed with him warmly. She endured much be fore info r.n-h " roi ~.~----r .r of the mischief his hens wrought daily in her garden. She had endured more since the complaint, ii comzlaint it could be called, had proved a failure, and neither faith, hone nor charity remained to soothe her ol Suddenly an inquir.'ng "ciuek struck her ear with the effeci of an electric battery. It came from the other side of the fence. A yellown feathered head protruded through thc picekets, the round, unwinking eyes o Shen surveyed the premises, another serene "cluck" sounded, and tTh pJlumpi bolly followed the head. Miss Barbara cautiously arose, her cxpres sion Lull of martial fire. Unconscious of impending evil the invaders wriggled their way througl: until a large and cheer ful compau: had assembled. In pleasant expect ancy they gathered around the ladet tomato vines. Suddenly and witt vengeful force a missie descendec into their very midst. Squawking ildly, the startled hens scuttled intc the currant bushes, under the tomatt plants, among the coro. A paus equal to a legislative deadlock fol lowed. Then one hen after anothe. cautiously emerged and present3 gravitated toward the tomato vines Again Miss Barbara seized on yen geance and the stove wood. Stie] after stick of it flew, like a kind o bail. telling upnon the tomatoes if no upon the hens. Miss Barbara was no uniaware of the facts in the casr, bu felt tlhat if she could not kill it was: relief to try. One audacious old he: in particular aroused this murderon fee:ing. Down the grape wTalk, ove: the beet bed, up to the door shi chased that hen ant shied her Ias stiek. after it as it flapped wilal; around the corner. To her horror sharp ejaculation in a man's voice en the air. Her final efiort had made at impression, but not upon the hen S-he turned the corner hastily and be held a stranger pressing both handl against his battered head as he looke savaigelv at her. Consternation, cot trition,~ mortifi.cation, animated he countenasnce; self-mastery slowl calmed his. "Did you hit one, auntie? I hop it's that old rooster !" sounded sul den'ly fromn the woodshed. The fac of the stranger turned ghastly. "I thought it was a man lhvedi the moon," he murmured. "Wh~ made von hurl it at me?" Was this an escaped lunatic? Ti ma' fadling eyves brightened asth ien I :.on Svivia. "I'ti flowers of paradise," he whis wered, and threw his arcas out unce: tam r.'No. it hurts to') much! ic them," hie muttered, and sat i *a roa~nuon the steps. svias wide, startled eyes m Barar's The la!.ter laid her ning< S:- r'r ant motioned towards t i at zuse.

He was a calm, keen-eyed man, whose resolute order, soon cleared the house of superfhluous attendants. His attentions were received with in gratitude by his patient until he held an odroous substance near the in.'ured face and said gently: "I want to help you--I am a doctor -it's nll right.." The dull eyes wavered an instant on his face. "Is it? I thought it wasn't--I hone von know"-with this murmured ro sponse the refractory patient sub mitted to the touch of the skillful hands. "History repeats itself, Fordham." The speaker, a serene-faced man of imposing presence, advanced leisurely into the private office of a well-known lawyer in Bombay. "So I have heard,'' said the latter, glancing up with a smile of welcome. The visitor settled leisurely into a seat,where he received the beneficence of the punkah swung fromthe ceiling. Both men wore full suits of white linen, that, despite the unutterable heat. retained their fresh crispness. S"Marrying and giving in marriage -the world keeps on in the same old way," said Emmett, comfortably. "Tis has been borne in upon me since the arrival of the American mail yesterday." "You had news from your brother !" "[ believe so! I h-tve just grown accustomed to t:e pleasing certainty that all the words in his letters will be spelled according to the dictionary; possibly you can comprehend the shock I experienced yetr ' reading in.hi- --" l,ing that ' .zs engaeged to be married. .

"Knowing that you ha-l honaored th State of the woodCLn 1mitmieg by b'eing borax there," continued Emmett. "'I thu;bt at barely possible that you ung iV know something of the family of thiis young lady, and I shall be glad et aar x-unformation you may be able to imprt , provided your fee is reason "I -believo it is one of Tour maxims, myv friend1, that time equals money t is a period of seveuteen years, more -or less, that you desire me to cover.

A. Do any of these cognomns e muse the chords of memory to vibrate in your patriotic breast?" "Yes," said the lawyer, laying his pn carefully across its rack, "I had a college friend of the name of Nutting. He, was two or three years older than Iaand married very yonng. As his house was in Braxnpton, this young layis .)robab)ly his daughter." "I hope that will prove to be the ea e," said Emmett.

I hope it's that old roos ter.' And then Tomn saw fireworks and all the stars. He was half senseless -- they thought be was a crazy mao. W<ell, they call_d in a doctor, and-. he kept the boy a prisoner thero for six weeks-he and \Iiss Sylvia, ad the result, you see, is a sister-in-law." "A charming result, I h've no doubt," said Fordham. "It',; a strik ing story." They left the office together and en tered the lawyer's gh:trry that stood waiting in the street. Tall and state ly white buildings cast welcome shadows along the wide thorougrhfare, and in the arcades of their lowrer floors were heaped jewels, silverwor:, wrought brass, silks and shawls. The squatting merchants guarded their treasures with sleepy-looking, keen eyes as they patiently waited for cus tomers. Crowds of shoppers, idlers, coolies and water carriers filled thqr Ve street, and the tropical scnlight brought out the glowing richness of brilliant-hued brocades and silken shawls, the dazzle of white garments, the satiny shine of bare bronze limbs and chests. Little public hiacries, or cabs, curtained with bright deep colors and drawn by brisk little bul '^.ks, rolled constantly by. Hump backed cows strolled placidly among the throngs, and a pet ram with gilded horns accompanied its Brahmin mas ter.

The letter fell from her fingers. She felt as one must feel with the earth rocking under foot. Was the old love dead in her heart - deal like tho mother of his child? She thought of that grave under the Indiadpalms, anl a feeling rose slow and strong out of her heart. No-his part in her life had ended years before.

On t'ui evening before Thanksgiving Syi7i'rent ear ly to choir practice, and Mis Barbara sat down to read the city paper, which had just arrived. A glowing fire snapped in the grate,ha'f a cbze car nations scented the air, and Ophelia, the cat, purred lazily at iltervais.

Snatching itp a shasl, she hastily locked the door and joi;ed in a wild race toward the swelling mur murs that rose tumultuously it the .air. She was soon in the midst if the oxciteient, but paused in the out skirts of the crowd. It was a bari that was burning, and it stood out ag inst the smokc-blackened sky a go;-ing mass of triumphant fire. There was no longer hope of saving it, theigh the hose still played upon it. fue rescued horses stamped and neigled, the firemen shouted hoarse orars; dogs barked and a baby cried. S'd denly there arose a cry ; "Look ctt } Look out ! One of the frightened animals iad sprung loose and charged wildly br= ward.

She tried to rise, but fell back helplessly. Ford hhai dropped on his knees beside her,, speaking passionately.
