' ?And so she's really going to marry Mr. Van Antwerp," said Mrs. Buxton to Mrs. Waldxon a few days later in the month of sunshine and roses. "I did not think it possible when she left,5* was the reply. ** Why do you say sonowr" '*Qh, Mrs. Hayner writes that tho cap had to go to Washington on some important family matters, and that she and Nellie were at the sea shore again, and Mr. Van Antwerp was with them from morning till night..

When she reappeared, three or four yotmg cavalrymen were at the gate chat ting with Mrs. Waldron, and the picture r.*as passed from hand to hand, exciting, varied" comment. It was a simple carte de visite, of the style once spoken of as vignette?only the .head and shoulders being visible?but it" was the picture of a strong, clear cut face, with thick, wavy black hair just tingeing with gray, a drooping mustache and long English whiskers. The eyes were heavy browed, and, though partially shaded by the gold rimmed pince-nez, were piercing and ..fine. Mr. Van Antwerp was unques v?onably a fine looking man. ^"Here comes Hayne,'* said Royce. \?3how it to him. He likes pictures; though I wouldn't like this one if I were in his place. " x Mr. Hayne stopped in some surprise when hailed, greeted Mrs. Waldrou . warmly and bowed courteously to Mrs. Boxton, who was watching him uar - rowiy. Want to see a picture of the man you % ought to go and perforate?" asked Web ster, with that lof ty indifference which youngsters have to the ravages of the tender passion on subjects other than' themselves. .

The tumbling btDows come thundering in to the shining strand, and sending their hissing, seething, whirling waters, all shimmer and radiance, to the very feet of the groups of spectators. There are hundreds of people scattered here and there along the shingle, and among the groupa a pale faced young man in tweed traveling suit has made his way to a point, where he can command a view of all the passers by. It is nearly 11 o'clock before they begin to break up and seek the broad corridors of the brilliantly lighted hotel. A great military band of nearly forty pieces is playing superbly at intervals and every now and then, as some stirring martial strains come thrilling through the air, a young girl in a group near at hand b^atstime with her pretty foot and seems to quiver with the influence of tho soldier melodies. A tall, dark eyed, dark haired man bends devotedly over her, but he, too, seems to rise to hi.-; full height at times, and there is something ia the carriage and mien that tells that soldier songs have thrilled his veins ere now. And this man the young traveler in gray watches as though his eyes were fascinated. Standing in the shade of a little summer house, he never ceases his scrutiny of the group. At last che musicians go and the people follow. The sands are soon deserted; the great piazzas are emptied of their prom enaders; the halls and corridors are still patronized by the few belated chaperons and their giddy charges. The music lov ing girl has gone aloft to her room, and her aunt, the third member of the group that so chained the attention of the young man ia gray, lingers for a mo ment to exchange a few words with their cavalier. Ho seems in need of consola tion. "Don't be so downh/;arted, Mr. Van Antwerp. It is very early in the sum mer, and you have the whole season be fore you." "2?o, Mrs. Kayner, it is very different from last year, J cannot explain it, but I know there has been a change. I feel as?as I used to in my old, wild days when a change of luck was coming, it's like the gambler's superstition, but I can not shake it off. Something told me she was lost to me when you boarded that Pacific express last February. I was a fool ever to have let lier go,5* "Is she still so determined?** "I cannot shake her resolution. She says that at tho end of tho year's time originally agreed upon she will keep her promise; but she will listen to no earlier marriage. I have about given up all hope. Something again?that fearful something I cannot shake off?tells me that my only chance lay in getting her to go with me this month. Once abroad with her, I could make her happy; hqtr? iS?e breaks c# rrresohrte?y, rooking about him in the strange, hunted manner she fags noted once or twice ahead/. "You are all unstrung, Mr. Van Ant werp, Why not go to bed and try and sleep? You will be so much brighter to morrow." "I cannot sleep. Bat don't let me keep you. HI go out and smoke a cigar. Good night, Mrs. Rayner. Whatever comes of it all, 1 shall not forget your kindness." So he turns away, and she still stands at the foot of the staircase, watching him "uneasily. He-has aged\ great?y in the past few months. She is shocked to see how gray, how fitful, nervous, irritable he has become. As he moves towards the doorway she. notes how thin his cheek has grown, and wonders at the ir resolution in his movements when he reaches the broad piazza. He stands there an instant, the massive doorway forming a frame for a picture en sil houette, his tall, spare figure thrown black upon the silver sea beyond. He looks up and down the now deserted gal leries, fumbles in his pockets for his cigar case, bites off with nervous clip the end of a huge "Regalia," strikes a light, and before the flame is half applied to his weed throws it away, then turns sharp?y and strides out of sight towards ' the office. Another instant, and, as though in pursuit, a second figure, erect, soldierly, ' with quick and bounding step strides '. across. tlie glittering moon streak, and Mrs. Rayner's heart stands still... Only for an instant, though. She has seen and recognized Lawrence Hayne. 1 Concealed from them he is following Mr. Van Antwerp, and there can be but one 1 purpose in his coming here?Nellie. But 1 what can- he want with her?her right- 1 ful lover? She springs from the lower step on which she has been standing, 1 runs across the tessellated floor, and stops 1 short in the doorway, gazing after the ' two figures. She is startled to find them ' dose at hand?one, Van Antwerp, dose ! to the railing, facing towards her, his 1 features ghastly in the moonlight, his ; left hand resting, and supporting him, on one of the tall wooden pillars: the other, Hayne, with white clinching fists, 1 advancing upon Mm. Above the low J boom and roar of the surf she distinctly 1 hears the clear tenor ring of his voice in the tone of command she last heard un- ] der the shadows of the Rockies, two ] thousand miles away: i **Haltr ; No wonder a gentleman in civil life ! looks amazed at so peremptory a sum- j mons'f roni a total stranger. In his high . indignation will be not strike the imper- j tinent subaltern to earth? As a well < bred woman it occurs to her that she ought to rush out and avert hostilities by introducing them or something; but she has no time to act. The next words < simply take her breath away: I "Sergt Gower, I arrest you as a de- 1 serter and thief ! You deserted from F j troop, ?th cavalry, at Battle Buttle!" i She sees the fearful gleam on the dark j man's face; there is a sudden spring, a j clinch, a straining-to and fro of two j forms?one tall, black, snaky, the other t light, lithe, agile and trained; muttered < curse, panting breath, and then, sure as t fate, the taller man is being borne back- j ward against the rail. She sees the dark j arm suddenly relax its grasp of the gray < form and disappear an instant. Then ( there it comes again, and with it a \ gleam of steel. With one shriek of ] warning and terror she springs towards < them?just in time. Hayne glances up, c catches the lifted wrist, hurls his whole f weight upon tbe tottering figure, and ( over goes the Knickerbocker prone upon i the floor. Hayne turnsone instant: "Go ^ indoors, Mrs. Hayner. This is no place 1 for you. Leave him to me." And in that instant, before either can prevent, Steven Van Antwerp, alias c Gower, springs to his feet, leaps over the t balcony rail and disappears in the depths I below. It is a descent of not more than ten feet to the sands beyond the dark passage that underlies the piazza, but ho has gone .down* into the passage itself, t When Mr. Hayne,- running down- the a steps, gains his way to the space beneath v the piazza, no trace of the fugitive can r he?nd. a **** l: "Nor does Mr. Van Antwerp appear at e breakfast on the following morn?ng, nor t again to any person known to this story, t Aii officer of the ?th cavalry, spending a s portion of the following winter in Paris, c writes that he met him face to face one day in the galleries of the Louvre. Be- 0 ing in civilian costume, of course, and much changed in appearance since he was a youth in the straps of a second lieutenant, it was possible for him to ^ take a good look at the man he had not & seen since he wore the chevrons of a dashing sergeant in the Battle Butte campaign. "He has grown almost ? white," wrote tho lieutenant, "and I'm j, told he has abandoned his business in s New York and never will return to the r United States," ' . g Rayner, too, has grown gray. A tele- a gram from his wife summoned him to * the seaside from Washington the -W after this eirango adventure of hers. ?? * found her somewhat prostrate, his sister in-law very pale and quiet, and the clerks of the hotel unable to account for the disappearance of Mr. Van Antwerp. ^ Lieut. Hayne, they said, had told them ? ho received news which compelled him ? to go back to New York at once; but the gentleman s traps were all in his room. 0 Mr. Hayne, too, had gone to New York: 0 and thither the captain followed. A let- b ter came to hi:n at tho Westminster t which he read and handed in silence to 1 Hayne. It was as follows: g "By the time this reaches you I shall p be beyond reach of the law and on my r way to Europe to spend what may be left of my days. I hope they may be few; for the punishment that has fallen ? upon me is more than I can bear, though P no more than I deserve. You have heard *' that my college days were wild, and that a after repeated warnings my father drove 6 me from home, sending me to Wyoming t to embark in the cattle business. I pre- f ferred gambling, and lost what he gave p me, There was nothing then left but to j. enlist: and I joined the ?th. Mother ^ still believed mo in or near Denver, and wrote regularly there. The life was hor rible to me after the luxury and lack of restraint I had enjoyed, and I meant to 0 desert Chance threw in my way that 1 temptation. I robbed poor Hull tho nisht before he was killed, repacked the ^ paper so that even the torn edges would 8 show the greenbacks, resenled it?ail just d as I have had to hear through her pure t and sacred lips it was finally told and q her lover saved. a *God knows I was shocked when I ^ >eard in Denver he was to be tried for l the crime. I hastened to Cheyenne, not daring to show myself to him or any one, and restored every cent of the ' money, placing it in Mrs. Clancy's hands, a as I dared not stay; but I had hoped to a give it to Clancy, who had not arrived. S The police knew me, and I had to go. I s gave every cent I had, and walked back 1< to Denver, then got word to mother of. e my fearful danger: and, though she 0 never knew I was a deserter, she sent | me money, and I came east and went a abroad. Then my whole life changed. I was appalled to think how low I had fallen. I shunned companionship, stud ied, did well at Heidelberg: father for- F gave me, and died; but God has not for- ? given, and at the moment when I thought 8 my life redeemed this retribution over- n takes me. 1? "If I may ask anything, it is that v mother may never know the truth. I t will tell her that Nellie cor.id not love me, and I cou?d not bar'; to stay." p Somo few weeks later that summer Miss Travers stood by the same balcony rail, with an open letter in her hand. There was a soft flush on her pretty, peachy cheek, and a far away look in her sweet blue eyes. "What news from Warren er, Neilie?" asked Mrs. Ray ner. "Fluffy has reappeared." "Indeed! Where?' "At Mr. Hayne's. He writes that as he returned, the moment he entered the hall she came running up to him, arching her back and purring her delight and welcoming him just as though she be longed there now; and** "And what, Nellie?" "He says he means to keep her until I come to claim her." THE END. Kaiser Frederick's Secretary. Herr Gustav Freytag has just pub lished an essay on Karl von Normann, former secretary and court marshal of Emperor Frederick from 1864 to 1884 The author describes how intimate were the relations between von Normann and the crown prince's family, who regarded him as a member of it in the true sense of the word. In the first years of his office he performed all the duties of pri vate secretary; he carried on all the cor respondence of the crown prince and princess with tbe artists, authors, and the charitable institutions with which they were connected; but by degrees he became the most intimate counselor of the prince's family. In the year 1834 he withdrew from court and went into the service of the state. After a short preparation he be came Prussian ambassador to Bruns wick, Oldenburg and Lippe. In the^ early morning of the day on which Nor-w mann left the crown prince the latter came to his room, embraced and kissed him, thanked him for Iiis services, and said: "When I am emperor you will be the first whom I shall call to my side." A short time after the sick Emperor Frederick arrived at Charlottenburg, Herr von Normann was informed of the illustrious patient's wish to have him near him, and his removal to Berlin was talked about. When for this reason he was summoned to the emperor, and ap proached the bed of the patient, the em peror, on seeing him step into the room, stretched both arms out toward him. He sank on his knees before the bed weeping, and the emperor held him long in close embrace. It was the last time they met, and a few weeks after the em perors death, on July 17, 1888, Karl von Normann died of heart disease.?Berlin Cor. London Standard. ??eaaty of Person. Some excellent people take serious ex ception to Grant Allen's remark that, >eing a man, he tcok it for granted that ihe first business of a girl was to be aretty. Now, it may be that Mr. Allen s not so far out of the way after all. It is certainly the duty of every woman, ind man, too, to be as good looking as possible, because beauty gives pleasure ? other people. Beauty of person is the expression of something corresponding ;o it in the mind and soul, and is to be prized accordingly. True beauty comes Tom tiie cultivation of the higher graces >f the mind and soul, as well as the care >f the body, and cannot exist without lis. A dried up old professor who mows forty languages, and yet is weak syed, lank haired, stoop shouldered and lyspeptic, is as far from being a per ectly developed man as the prize fighter. )f the two the prize fighter is far the nore agreeable object to look at. The Greeks were nearer right than we think vhen they gave physical culture so high i place. So, girls and women of all tges, he as beautiful as you can. Make ourselves handsome by physical exer :ise, by iutellectual work and by cid ivating a sweet temper and generous, dndly spirit to all mankind. A. D. White and Coeducation. Ex-President White, of Cornell, is en husiastically in favor of coeducation and thletic exorcises. Coeducation makes vomen more womanly and men more naniy, he says. And sunshine, fresh ir and vigorous physical exercises are oore important for girls than for boys ven, because "co-cd." girl students in heir zeal for study are apt to neglect heir bodies. In his judgment no girl hould be permitted to take a college ourse unless she also took a proper sys em of regular exercise in a gymnasium if elsewhere. Tricks of Manner. To illustrate how the little tricks of aanner are copied and become the fash yof it is told of a debutante of several easons ago who speedily became a pro lounced belle that at her first few ap learances in society, out of sheer em har assment, she invariably stood with her lands clasped. Before she ceased to re ort to this peculiar method of relief her oien became established, and all the ;irls of her set, recognizing her supreni cy, quickly saw and copied her inter wining fingers. first Lessons in Bee Keeping. Beginners need good advice, and we eldom see anything more suitable and imely than the following from the lout hern Cultivator: Obtain, at least, a general knowledge f tbe natural history of the honey-bee and f its management. Become acquainted, oth theoretically, and practically with he use of improved apiarian implements, 'bis can be obtained by studying a ocd manual for tbe apiary, and bec eriodical*, in connection with cxpe ience in the apiary. Spend some time with a practical and rogreisive apiarist, even if you have to iay for the privilege of "helping" him; Dr successful and prudent care of bees t all seasons, and under varied circum tances, and tbe skill necessary to obtain be most honey in the best condition or the market, can be obtained only by iractical experience in tbe apiary, 'rom time immemorial bees bave been :ept by man, but until the past few years he pursuit has not received that atteo ion that it demands. In this, as in all ther departments of business, it is only he careful and practical that succeed Natuie bas provided tbe health-giving Ielicious nectar in myriads of beautiful owers, that deck forest, field and gar en, and developed the bees to gather his abundaut sweetness and store it io uaotitieg far exceeding their wants? nd man may step in to aid nature and lees, and utilize the surplus honey for iis pleasure and sustenance. Locate where there is a profusion of rhite clover, with timber to the west od north, within range, where fruits nd flowers abound ; golden-rod, asters, Spanish needie and heart's-ease, or mart weed, abound iu almost every jcality. and where they do uot, it is asy and profitable to put in a few acres f buckwheat for late fall honey, as \ here is none better for wintering bees, nd extracted buckwheat honey will i lways find a ready sale. - Iu locating an apiary, avoid tbe close f iroximity of laurel thickets, as honey ] ;athered from the .laurel is unwhole- j ome, if not really poisonous ; avoid the * leighborhood of cider-mills, and do not i r Dcate immediately near a large body of j i rater, as it will confine your bee-range j o one direction exclusively. j 3 A broken or low country is no art'oular disparagement, because tbe ' less desirable for cultivation,- the more encouragement will there be for you to take time by the forelock, aod plant plentifully of such honey plants as will insure a constant bloou?, and provide against the time when others, encour aged by your success, shall also com mence bee-keeping in your neighbor hood and overstock the location, unless nature is liberally assisted. With all the above natural advantages secured, aided by your provident fore thought in planting, you will have done much to settle the question as to the best method of wintering, and your bees, let them be of whatever color, will solve the problem as to which is the best race.
