The school girl does not care for dainty flavors unless they have candy for a basis; her mother, with a palate which has been in training for half a century, will get truer enjoyment out of a neighbor's loaf of homo made cako than the girl can fit ul in a shop full of bonbons. A boy will ramble ebrougn an orchard in- search of the tree which ts fullest aud has the largest fruit; his father, in late autumn, will find higher flavor, and more of it, in the late windfalls which his stick discovers among the dead leaves, E ; Farmer Hayn was old and weary ; he was alone in his rambles about tho metropolis, and he kept close guard on his pocketbook; but no country youth who ever hurried to the city to squander his patrimony could have had so good a time. He saw everything that tho local guido books called attention to, and so much else which was interesting that Tramlay, whom he had occasion to see for a few minutes each day, said one morning at tho breakfast tablo. "I wish, my dear, that I could steal a week or two from business, so that you and I could poko about New York, personally conducted by that old farmer." "Edgar V- exclaimed Mrs. Tramlay, "I sometimes fear that old age is taking sudden possession of j'ou, you get such queer notions. The idea of New York people seeing their own city with a countryman for a guide:" "There's nothing queer about facts, my dear," replied Tramlay, "except that they may be right under our eyes for years with? out being seen. A few years ago you and I spent nearly a thousand dollars in visiting some European battlefields. Today that old fellow has carefully done the Revolutionary battlefields of New York and Brooklyn, at a total expense of a quarter of a dollar; even then he had a penny left to give to a l>cg gar." "I never heard of a battlefield in New York or Brooklyn," said Mrs. Tramlay. "Nor 1," her husband replied; "at least not in so long a time that Td forgotten the local? ities. But that old fellow knows all about them; when I drew him out a little he made me plans of each, with pencil on the back of au envelope, and explained how we lost Ixmg Island and New York, as well as nearly two thousand men, when men were far scarcer than they are now. Here"-the merchant drew a moss of letters from his pocket and extracted from themascrapof paper-"here's the way it happened; let me explain" 'Tra not interested in* those stupid old times," said Mrs. Tramlay, with a depreca? tory wave of her hand. "I've heard that in those days there wasn't a house above Wall street, no park to drive in, and parties began before sunset." "Ah ! to ~ be sure," said Tramlay, with a sigh. "But old. Hayn has seen modern New York too; I was intensely interested in his description of the work being done in some of the industrial schools, where hundreds of lit tie street Arabs are coaxed in by a promise of full stomachs, and taught to be good for something; the boys learn how to uso tools, and tho girls aro taught every brandi of housekeeping." - "I really don't sec," said Mri Tramlay, ns she nibbled a roll, "what there is to interest us in the doings of such people." "TbeyYe the people," said her husband, raising his voice a little, " who generally supply us with paupers and criminals, they being untaught at home, and consequently having to beg or steal for a living. It is be? cause of such people that we have iron bars on our dining room windows and area door, and hire a detective whenever we give a party, and put a chain on our door mat and pay taxes to build jails and asylums and" "Oh, Edgar," said Mrs. Tramlay, plaint? ively, "our minister told us all this in a ser? mon nearly a year ago. Pm sure I listened patiently to it then; I don't think it's very kind of you to go all over it again." "No, I suppose not," sighed the merchant, hastily kissing his family good-by and start? ing for his office. In a moment ho returned, and said: "Just a word with you, my dear. It's nothing about farmers, or battles, or indus? trial- Say," he whispered, as his wife joined him in tho hall, "don't you think Td better have tho doctor drop in to wee Lucia? I*in afraid she's going to besiok. She's looked poorly for days, and doesn't seem to have any spirit." "I'm sure she's lively enough when she's out of temper," said Mrs. Tramlay, "which sho is nearly all tho while. She's snapped at tho children until they hate the sight of her, and I cant speak to her without being greeted by a flood of tears. Margie seems tho only ono who can do anything with her." "Umph!" muttered tho merchant, taking much time to arrange his hat before thc mir? ror of the hat rack. Meanwhile tho old farmer and his son were having a long chat in a hotel bedroom. "So you see how tho land lies," said tho old nun. "Though I never held that part of the farm at over two hundred an acre, tho soil bein' thinner than the lower lyin' land, | an requirin' a good deal moro manure to | make decent crops, Tramlay says it'll fetch a clean two thousand an acre when it's cut up, if the scheme takes hold as it's likely to. That's why he advised me to retain an in? terest, instead of selim' out an' out. I'm to get five thousand in cash for tho forty acres, an'have a quarter interest in all sales; that means twenty thousand in the end, if things turn out as Tramlay thinks." "MyI" ejaculated Phil; his eyes opening very wide, and going into a brown study. Tho old man contemplated him for wino timo with a smile of supreme satisfaction. Finaily ho said: "Makes you feel a little bit as if you was a rich man's son, don't it, old boyif" "Indeed it does," I'll i 1 replied. "But I don't see how I can h?-ip you about it." "Don't, eh? Weil, Til t.-;i you." soi?! tho old man. eyeing his son closely. "That forty ! acres is about quarter of the farm land in i value, I cah-ulate. counting out tho house an* ' other buildin's. If I was makin' my will an' 1 dividin' things up among th'? family, I'd j leave just about that much lund to you, with an interest iu the house, stock, etoetery, when tho Lord soc? fit to call your mother. ! So"-hero the old man intensified his gaze- j "I've arranged to give my quarter interest in the enterprise to you, as your inheritance; that'll make you a director in tho comp'ny, with as much say us anybody else "It'll j keep you in York a good ?leal, though." "Father!" exclaimed Phil. "An'," continued the old man, dropping his ! eyes as soon :is his son looked at him, ?nd ' putting on the countenance i:i which ho usually dis?'i. ed the- ordinary affairs of tho farm, "as it *:.ay nev d some mun* y f<>r you to keepupproper style with tito, people whom you'll have to de;;! with, I projioso t,! put tho five thousand in bank hero to our joint .ac? count, so you can draw whenever"', ;i need cash." Tho uM man began ?'? pare fine sh ivings from the tooth pick which he had cherished ever since lie ?eft tho dining ro .n. but Phil compelled a suspension of industry for mo? ment by going over ?<> h:> father's cha ii' and pressing the gray head T<> hi>> br? ast. "The oilier principal st oe!; holders." >r.\>\ the old man, as soon as he was able toresamo "Margo!" Phil echoed "You seem to know him," said the farmer, looking up from under his eyebrows. "I should think so," said PhiL frowning and twitching his lips a great deal. "He's tho man" "Well?" asked the old man, for Phil had not finished his sentence. There was no re? ply, so be continued: "The man you thought had caught the gal P Phil nodded affirmatively. "Now you see what comes of goin1 off at half cock," said the farmer. "Lost your ex? penses two ways, to say nothin' of peace o* mind." "I heard one man telling another it," said Phil, quite humbly, "so what was J to think'" "If you believe evYythin' you hear about men an' women, my boy, you'll be off your course all your life long. Take a good grip on that." Again Phil went Into a brown study, from which he emerged suddenly to say: "It's just what you did when you supposed you learned she wasnt engaged, isnt it? You believed it and wrote it at once to me." "Oh, nol" said the old man, with an air of superiority, as he put a very sharp point on what remained of the toothpick. "Not much. I've learned always to go to head? quarters for information." "Why, father," Phil exclaimed, excitedly, **you don't mean to say, after what yon promised mo, that you went-and-and" "Poked my nose into other people's busi? ness? Not L Mr. Tramlay took me home to dinner-sa}', what an outlandish way these city folks have got of not eatin' dinner tdl nigh onto bedtime! an' after the meal, 'long about the edge o' the evenin', when Tramlay had gone for some papers to shoW me, an' the old lady washout of the room for 6omethin', I took 'casiou to congratulate the gal on her engagement; that's the proper thing in such cases made an' purvided, you know. She looked kind o' flabbergasted, an' at last she said 'twas the fust she'd heerd of it. I tried to git out of it by sayin' if it wa'n't true it ort to be, if young men In York had eyes in their heads But it didnt seem to work. She asked how I beerd of it, an' I bad to say that somebodv in the city had told my son about it" Phil frowned. "Then," continued the old man, "she bust out cryin'." "Oh, dear!" sighed PhiL "Well," said the old man, "I soe somcthln' had to be done, so I put ray arms around her" "Why, fatherl" said Phil, In alarm. "I put my arms around ber, an' said that when a gal was cryin' she ort to have her parents to comfort ber, an', as neither of 'em was present, I hoped she'd make b'lievo fora minute or two that I was her grand? father. So she took my advice; an' it seemed to do her a sight o' good." "What advice did you give herT asked Phil. "None-in words," said tho old man. "Wait till you're my age; then you'll under? stand." "I dont see," said Phil, after a moment or two of silence, "that things are much better than they were. Perhaps she's not engaged; but that fellow Marge is hanging about her all the time. From what I've heard people remark, he's been paying attention to her for a yeal- or two. When the family were at our house last summer he was the only man she talked about. I'm pretty sure, too, from what I've seen, that her mother favors him. So, pntting everything together, and think? ing about it a good deal, as I've had to do in spite of myself since I've been up home, Pve made up my mind that it's a foregone con? clusion." "So you're goin' to flop like a stuck pig an' let it go ou, m o youf Just because you've thought somethin' you're goin' to do nothin'. If IM thought that of you I don't b'lieve I'd have brought you down hero to be a business mun in the city. A fellow that haint got tho grit to fight for a gal that he wants is likely to make a mighty poor fist of it fightin' for a fortune. No, sir; you're not goin' to knuckle under while you've got a father to egg you on. 1 don't say she's iu ev'ry way the gal I'd have picked out for you, but any gal that'd live up to the best that's in her is good enough for any man alive. If you care as much for hor as you thought rou tlid when I mot you hi the street that day, that gal is the one for you to tl? to, unless she breaks the rope. A man sometimes gets a bad lickin' in a lovo fight, an' a powerful big scar besides, but both together dont do him ns much harm as bookin' out an' playin' coward." "Pm not a coward, father," protested Phil, and his eyes flashed as if he meant it. "You don't mean to bo, my boy," said the old man, with a pat on his son's shoulder, "but ev'rythiu' in this affair is new to you, an' you're in the dark about some things that mebbe look bigger than tbay are. That sort of thing'II mako cowards out of the l>ost of men, if they give in to it; that's the reason Pm crackiu' the whip at you." "I wonder what Mr. Tramlay wants of me," said Phil, a moment later. "Reckon you'd better go down and find out," tho old man replied. CHAPTER XVTTX TUB wsw cr.rng. ^sH?, Jp'OUR mother's eui, \pA M as usual, I sup S poco," said Mr. ^g&Jljf Tramlay to hts old /ffi^jOM est daughter, as he IBi came home In the <?r^> ~r tSS afternoon and ^^S^S u vat roamed davpond ^^^?[^^W^?^a ently about the W A ^SSMr'??i house, after the A. * V N^5 i& manner of family ?(^-^ A^gmon in general V)when their wives i ^^?.^??^^^ uSho isnt back f&<7f}i ' 8aid LucitL 4*You - ///f/?y i know tho usual * tl 1 drive always keeps her out until about 6." "I ought to know it by this timo, I sup? pose," said tho merchant, "and I dont be? grudge her a moment of it, but somehow the houso is never quite tho same when she is out of it." Lucia looked at her father with a little wonder in her face. Thou she laughed, not very cheerfully, and said: "Father, do you know that you're dread? fully old fashioned/" "I su pi * >so so. Maybe it's force of habit." Lucia still wondered. She loved ber mother in tho instinctive, not over intelligent way of most young people, but really she could not seo what there was about tho estimable wo? man that should make hor father long to see her every day of tho year and search the house for her whenever he roturued. Sho had never heard her father make romantic speeches, surii as nico married people some? times do in novels; and as for her mother, what dill she ever talk >?f to her liege lord but fatally bills, tho servants, tho children's faults. ??:<? her own ailments? Could it IKJ, alie ask.-d herself, that this matter of fact couple anything when alone that was unlike what tho whole family heard from them "daily at tho table and in tho sitting room * "Why nreyou Ux>!:mg at me so queerly?" suddenly asked the luther. Lucia recovered herself, and said: "1 ?vas only wondering whether you never got tired <>f I?xjking for mother as soon as you canto home." "Certainly not," said the merchant. "Most husbands do, sooner or later," said Lucia, "Perhaps I will, somo day," tho father re? plied; "ami I eau tell you when it will bo." "Toll," said Lucia. "1 think 'twill be al>out tho day after eter? nity ends," was the reply. "Nor a day sooner. But. what <loyou know about what some hus? bands ?lc, you little simpleton.- And what pnt ll:;? subject into your little hcadi" "(iii. 1 dont know," said Lucia, dropping upon tho piano stool and making somo chords and discords "It came Into my mind; that'* al!." "W. H. I liopo that snme flay you'll find oui to your ov.n satisfaction. By tho way, I wish you'd get out of that morning gown. M v new <.!?.!.!. is coming to dinner." "Uli. dear! then I'll have dinner sent opto my room, I think. I don't feel a bit well, and it's awful to think of sitting bolt upright Ina tight dress for an hour or two." And Lucia whirled from side to side on the plane stool, and looked forlorn and cross. "1 suppose lt would bo impossible to dino in a dress that is not tightP said tho father. "Papa, ph-ase don't tease me*; I dont feel o bit well; re&Uy I don't." "What is the matter, child!" asked the father, tenderly. "Too much candy*- too few parties f "Oh, nothing that I know of," said th? girl, wearily. "IH feel better when real cold weather comes, I suppose." She played with tho piano keys a moment or two, and con? tinued: "So you have a new clerk. I hope ho's nice-not a mere figuring machiner' "Quite a fine fellow," said the merchant. "At least he seems to be." "Is he-have you given him the place you intended to offer Philip Hayn I* "Yes." "*The Iron business is real good for a young man to get into, brat ttf" "Indeed it ia, since iron bas looked np?" "And that stupid fellow might have had the chance if he hadnt gone off borne again without even calling to say good-byP "Just BO." "Oh, I dont want to soo him,*' said Lucia, pettishly. "Pm tired of young men." "What a mercy it is that thoy dont know it!" said her father. "They'd all go off and commit suicide, and then merchants couldn't have any clerks at all." "Now, papal" said Lucia, with a crash on the lower octaves of keys, followed by a querulous run, with her thumb, over the shorter strings. "Is the new clerk anybody in particular* What is his name?" "Philip Hayn." Lucia sprang from the piano stool and al? most strangled her father with her slender arma "Gracious, Lu !" exclaimed tho merchant "Your mother's family must have descended from a grizzly b?ur. But why this excite? ment r "Because you Ve a dear, thoughtful old man, who's always trying to do good," said Lucia. "If tweren't for you that poor young man might never have a chance in the world. I think It's real missionary work to help de? serving people who aront able to help them? selves; I know it is, for our minister has said so from the pulpit again and again." "Pm real glad to leam that my daughter remembers some of the things sho hears in church," said the merchant "So you think young Hayn deserves a chance in the world, eh?" "I on;y know what you yourself have said about him," said Lucia, demurely. "Good girl! always take your father's ad? vice about young men and you'll not be mis? taken in human nature. Which cut of the roast chicken shall I send up to your room?" "Oh, I'll try to como down, as it's only Phil; maybe I can coax Margie to help me dress." Lucia slipped slowly from the room, but went* up the stairs like a whirlwind. The merchant sat down at the piano and mado as dreadful a succession of noises as the much afflicted instrument bad ever endured. He had to do something. A quarter of an hour later Lucia floated down stairs in a robe of palo blue, her face ai fresh and bright as dawn. "Sunrise at sunset 1" exclaimed her fathe* "Well, girls aro possessed to upset the natural order of things, I suppose. But, my dear daughter,' you've put tho rouge on too thick; dont you think sop' "FatherI" exclaimed the girl, and tho flush of her cheeks spread to her brow. "Edgar," said Mrs. Tramlay, who came in a moment or two after, "see how foolish you were to think Lucia ilk I never saw hw looking better." "Yes," said tho merchant, dryly; "I told her tho doctor was coming. That's often enough to cure tho ailments of some children, you know." Then tho merchant devoted teD minutes of business tact to the task of ex? plaining to his wife the reasons of Philip's re? turn to New York ; ho also enlarged upon thc Haynton Bay Improvement company, and tho probability that if tho Tramlays wero tc build tho first and handsomest house on the new* property Mrs, Tramlay would naturally be tho fashionable leader of whatever section or sub-section of society might select the place as a summer h oma Mrs. Tramlay was in? clined to I? conservativo on the subject, but when she learned that Marge was a stockholder and director in the company she became quit? cheerful. Phil was not so happy as he should have been while on his way to the Tramlays'. He wondered bow he should be able to greet Lucia without betraying the mixed emotions which ho was sure the first sight of her face would cause him. He hod a firm conviction that he would feel awkward and act accord? ingly, and his remembrance of various men whom he had seen behaving awkwardly iv tho presenco of young ladies made him quito certain that Lucia and Margie would laugh at him when his l>ack was turned. He did not realize that In meeting, a* well as in fighting, th6 burden of action does not all rast upon ono person. Neither did he take Into con? sideration tho tact which some maidens ac? quire in a year or two spent In society. Al he was ushered into the parlor, with a face which he was sure was sober and set, Lucia approached him with a pleasant smile arni ex? claimed, os heartily and unaffectedly as ii sh? were a Haynton girl: "How do you do, Phill Pm ever so glad to see you back again." Away went all sense of soberness, hesita? tion ami doubt; the young man's soul leaped to his face, and ho held so long the little hand offered him that Lucia, perhaps remember? ing some impulsive demonstrations toward that graceful member, withdrew it befors any attempt to release It had begun. Then the girl began a rapid series of questions about Hayn Farm and Its occupants, and Phil mady cheery replies, and Tramlay, after gazing at tho couple from tho back parlor, retired to his library to iudulgo undisturbed in as much vigorous and affirmative head making as tho situation seemed to justify. "How do you think you will like thu iron business. Mr. Hayn, asked Mrs. Tramlay at dinner. "Greatly, so far as I know it," Phil replied. "Up to (late my duties have been to go to lunch, read tho morning papers and chat with a railroad company's vice president alMHit o?? shore fishing." "Wo always try to break In our young men pleasantly," said Tramlay, "so they'll be willing to promise long service for small money: then we begin to put on heavier chains, ono by one." "Papa's clerks have a hard time if they happen to bo nice," said Ijucia. "They have to get postage stamps for Margie and ms when wo happen in at the office, and find small change for us when we lose wir pocket? books, and take us out to lunch wlien we come down town and dont find papa in, and sometimes they have to como to trains for us when wo've been a few miles oat of town on a visit and tie team doesn't get In before dork." "Then I shall earnestly strive to be nice." said Phil. "There's Kano down town place," said Margie, "where pa?>n gd's lovely candy a great deal chcajier than up Broadway; but he forget? it, half the tim?*, so we sometimes have on<' of the di rks order it sent to pajxi's desk-that is, clerks who know how to select candy," said Margie. "My education In that respect,** said Phil, "has not been as thorough as if I could have foreseen such necessity for it; but I will re? sume my simlies at once." "Are you a good judge of teaP asked Lu? cia "Mamma has not iteen quit?? herself since one of pn**a's clerks went to Pennsyl? vania to tako charge of a rolling mill.

"Von children are not to worry Phil with any of ymir trilling affairs.'' said the head of th<? house. "1 want you all to understand that.

Why, such a man's time ought to be valued at about a dollar a minute." Then Phil was rich. Lucia said to herself. She did not much caro, and she knew even less, about business details; a fortune on paper was as good as any other kind, so far as she know; but what she did very distinctly understand that no ooo, not even her mother, would again have occasion to speak of Phil n* a poor man, or even a conn try man. Borne young men who wore accounted great oa tobes were only secretaries and oven assistant secretaries of one thing cr other: she knew it, because she hod seen their names in dividend notices and other advertisements in newspapers. How would the change in his fortunes affect her mother, she wondered. Mrs. Tramlay certainly was more affable to the young man than she ever hod been be? fore, and after dinner she even took Phil's arm in returning to the parlor; tho act signi? fied nothing to Phil, but it set Lucia's little heart dancing gayly. When Phil departed, soon after dinner, tc accompany his father, by request, to a meet? ing of the "Society for the Amelioration of tho Spiritual Condition of Savago Tribes," Lucia lost very little time in signaling Margie with her eyes and going up to her room. A moment later Margie bounced in, closed the* door, and exclaimed: "Lucia Tramlay I I wouldn't have be? lieved it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. The idea of mamma, with the blood of a dozen High Dutch and Mayflower families in her veins, toking th* arm of a countryman!" "When there was no call for her to take any one's arm," added Lucia, "the affair be? ing only an every day family dinner." " 'Twas simply paralyzing," said Margie, "but it was a sign that everything will bc all right from this time forwanL Dear me! 1 can imagine just how your new visiting cords will look; 'Mrs. Philip Hayn.'" "Margie, Margie," said Lucia, in a quick whisper, "do be quiet. I don't even know whether ho really loves ma" "That's because you didnt sit at table where you see his face all the while, as I did. Besides, a stone Image would fall in love with you to-night you never looked so perfectly entrancing In all your life." So, bot ween all she bad seen and beard. Lucia's head was crowded with pleasant dreams long before it pressed its pillow. CHAPTER XIX. DOPES AX D FE & R 8. ETWEEN Ids du? ties at tho office oi the Haynton Baj Improvement com? pany and his earn? est desire to master the mysteries of the iron trade, Philip Hayn found very little time for drop? ping into moody reflections. Like many anothei young man in busi ness,be became con? vinced that a grcal deal of telling work might be done outside of business hours; sc be spent many evenings and occasional day* In endeavoring to forward the interests of hit employer, and of the Improvement company, in which Mr. Tramlay was as largely inter es ted as himself. He had more than business to absorb hil thoughts,for his stock of knowiedge regarding human nature was at first entirely inadequate to the demands made upon it. At I lay u ton it was a safe rule that a man whoso appearance and manner were those o? a gentleman could be safely regarded as, at least, an hon esl man; in New York he found this assuraptior. caused some of his plans to be utterly shat te red by Tramlay's more experienced band. The railroad men who wanted iron, to be paid for partly by stock in their roads, be learned to distrust If they were habitually well dressed and wore kid gloves when visit ing Tramlay's ofT.ce, but be occasionally saw his employer neglect an appointment, even with his family, and devote his entire time tc some insignificant, badly dressed little fellow, and even to an occasional awkward man w bc seemed, as he really was, the farmer secre? tary and treasurer of a lot of fellow forment who hod planned a short road for their own benefit. The amount of cash Lhatsueh a man could pay was seldom large, but not so the probable profit on the stock which Tam lay received "to boot." A pleasing relief from the work of his twe offices was Phil's occasional evenings at Tranv lay'u home, which he bad been so heartily urged to regard as his own that he no longer waited for special invitation*. In spite of his pressing duties he had devoted himself ta being "nice," as Lucia had termed the con? dition which made the family avail them? selves of the services of Mr. Tramlay's clerks He improved upon hi* instructions so far as always to have in bb pockets enough postage stamps for the girl's letters, and to see that boxes of candies from "the place somewhere down town" reached tho house without first lying neglected for a day or two upon his employer's desk. When Margie and Lucia were returning from a short visit out of town he was at station, wharf or ferry to meet them, regardless of what railway mag? nate from out of town might be already ac cessible at a hotel, and the pang of hurrying away afterward was always sweetened by the gentle protests that no s ibscquout con? versation could banish from his ear. And yet, as he informed himself in occa? sional moments of leisure, the interest that lay closest to his heart was not being ad? vanced visibly. Lucia seemed always glad to meet him, always sorry to part with him; I but was she not so to all mere acquaintances I whose society wes not unpleasing' She never made an excuse to cut short hts conversation, no matter If ho talked on subjects of which she evidently was ignorant; but had he not always been accustomed to patient listeners/ She sometimes asked questions that seemed Iwyorui lier taste, as the subjects certainly were beyond her ken; but might not ordi? nary human desire for knowledge prompt any girl to do the some/ Sometimes be would bitterly inform him? self that of his host's two daughters any listener might imagine Margie, instead of her sister, the object of his affection. Margie, whose feelings and manner and enthusiasm lacked the restraint which a year or t*r> of society will impose on an observing mahlen, was as artless and elf asl ve and affectionate as if Phil were an ideal older brother, sf not a lover. Of course Margie was. not in K?ve with him; for was she not continually sound-ing Lucia's praises/ To her the world seemed tc live an?! move and have ita being stalely for Lucia. l*hil had never before seen such af? fection between sisters, and it seemed all tho moro wonderful a? ho recalled some frequent passages of words in which the two girls had indulged at Hayn Farm not a half year l>e fora Margie seemed to have adopted him ns a big brother, arid it was quito delightful, a< well as n new sensation, he having jvo sisters of his own, but Ive di 1 wish that tho same spirit-not exactly the same, cither-might bo manifested by Lucia Another disquieting thought came from tho frequency with which Margo visited the Tramlay abode. He had heard almost too much of Marge before he ever saw him, but now ho saw far more, lt seemed that Phil never could visit the Tram!.! vs wi thom either Anding Marge already there, or having him come in just as a pleasant tete-a-tete with Lucia w.as fairly under way. That Marge did not approve.of the cordiality with which Phil was received was quite evident, in s:>ir<* of his impassive demeanor, ami Phil felt n?>ne the easier that Marge shower?! him many courtesies, and introdnr*ad him miit" freely ainonj his club a^iuainlanees. Mar -'* ex plained that many of these gentlenieu money and might be persuaded to pure cottage sites of tho Haynton Bay comp but if this was his purpose why did he conduct the negotiations himself f Oocaf ally Phil suspected that there were darb signs hidden in Margo's invitations to q little games at the club, and his rather si: ing replies, to Phil's refusals, that ail gei men played cards sometimes; still, suoh ga as he chanced to see were not for largo si nor were they attended by any of the ex< ment that is supposed to make lucxpcrfet players reckless.

"Mr. Marge is no fool," sahl Mrs. Tramlay. "He's no wiser than some veterans" whe have had to leave their millions in the streel and live on their children forever after." "The Improvement company hasonly about forty acres, I believe you said/" "Just forty.'' "And two thousand an acre is the most you hope fori" "Yes." "That would bo eighty thousand dollars; four into eighty goes twenty times, and" "If I'd known you'd such a head for busi? ness I would have asked you to put a house? keeper in charge of the family, so 1 could have your services at the office," said Tram lay. "Twenty thousand dollars would be very little for a young manto marry on in. N*w York-and in our set." "Twenty thousand, and a salary wnich ? must soon increase in simple justice; abo, expectations from his father's estate in the course of time. I don't remember to have told you. though, that the young man was long headed enough to suggest that his fa? ther should buy options on tile continuation of the ridge-there are several hundred acres in all, distributed among different farms i anti the old fellow has worked it so skillfully i that we have the refusal of it all. for a year, . at a trifling outlay in money. There's genu i ino city business capacity in that young j man's head-ch/" j "It appears so," Mrs. Tramlay admitted. ! This admission might have been of great ; comfort to Phil could he have heard it, but I as he never received any information, except ' through his alternating hopes and suspi i dons, ho was obliged to remain in doubt. I lias principal hope, asido from that based : on Lucia's willingness to devote any amount I of time to him, was obtained through the ! manner of the head of tho family. Tramlay j was communicative as wi-e merchants usu I ally are to their employes: he was also con : fidential; evidently he trusted Phil implicit I ly, for he told the new clerk ol! his business : expectations and hopes, instructed hlm care i fully regarding every ono whom the young j man was to s-.v; f.>r business purposes, and ; throw much important work upon hint It seemed i:np >Wil>le to misconstrue the p?rp?se ot all i\\\<. at the very Uvist. it implied a hi;Th order of resp.vt; anil the respect ot a pot-sable father-in-law was not an ally to be under j rated Irides, Tram lay frequently put Lucia in his charge when she was out f->r an oven ?::g; an?l this implied a stiil higher order of i irust. But after .-ii!, th.- hores that wer.*streng; est and most abiding were formed ia tire Tramiay parlor, while Lucia was apparently only acting the pert of a lirten?r. Tho young mon occasionally found himself expressing his own ojMuion freely, and to great extent, on subjects that interested him, and the now of language was interrupted only by badly concealed yawns from Mrs. Tram loy ano Margie. Where to them could bo the inter? est in the latest campaign against the Indi? ans, or methods of ventilating school rooney' or the supposed moral purpose underlying England's continued occupation of Egypt I Such questions were flt only for men, thought Mrs. Tramiay and ber second daughter: thc mother sometimes said, after excusing her? self from impromptu lectures on these or kindred topics, that the young man from the country loved to hear himself talk, and Mar?, gie half believed that Phil only began what1 she denominated "harangues" in order tc clear the room, so that he might hare Lodo4 to himself.

A few years ago the German railway companies were convinced that iron sleepers were superior to wooden oftest In 1885-86 there were laid on the German lines 2,462.000 new wooden sleepers and 1,007,152 iron ones; but rn the following year there were only 868,263 iron sleeper*? used, against 1,544,082 wooden ones; I/ist year there were 2,677,424 wooden1 sleepers laid and only 750,670 iron ernest The use of wood for sleepers seems, there? fore, to Ix? gradually increasing ia Ger? many and the employment of iron <tfmi& ishing.
