"Frances," he begaia in ,an. 4gitated wilisper, "you did not mean it, did You? Say you did not, or at least promise me you will never think of it again." . "Did not mean what? Think ef what?" asked Miss Sylverton, facing round and opening her large eyes sur - doing. "Why! What you gall about doing - Vivien to Harvey's Merlin, Of course I know you did not really mean it - that you only said it to tease, but I ,want you to say so. If I saw you sitting at that fellow's feet-" A pause. "Well," said Frances, "go on.

"And if I do give this prolnise?" asked Mies Sylverton, softly. She. was experiencing a slightly subdued sensation, born of the deep anx- iety expressed both in his tone and bearing. Her usual perversity had. deserted her in this. her hour of need, and she found. herself nearer to ack- nowledging a •master than she had ever found herself before. As the hraf-concession left he: lips, Charlie Trevanion littered an =lama - thin of delighted surprise, and, thus far emboldened, passed hie arm around her waist. Raising her hand to prevent this act of oppression-onle to have it linpris- oned and held fast -Miss Sylverton, with a sigh that plainly intimated how tyrannical she considered the entire transaction, reeigned herself to her fate. For a few minutes neither spoke, and then Charlie said, tenderly: "I wonder when it was that I first began to loge you? Oh, you remem- ber, Frances? Or was it that I never - did begin -that my love for you has ever been a part of my life?" renaember all about it," answered Frances; with a faint return to the "former archness. "You do?" he said, -smiling. "Tell me, then." "It was wheri I was fifteen and you wore something over twenty that it all began. Do you recollect one day in. the kitchen garden .at home, when six or eight of us were together, and having been inclined thereto by tame unpardonable impertinence on your Part, I raised my hand and boxed your ears? Have you forgotten?" "No -how .is it possible that 1 should,e" said Trevanion, with a. laugh, "Well, that caused all the mischief. Never shall I forget the expression• on your face when my hand came down with anything but gentle violence upon it. It was astonishment mingled with awe and admiration.. You had no idea, that I was capable of so much spirit; and you fell in love with me then and there." "And have never swerved from my allegiance ever since," supplemented Charlie. "Surely such patience, be- ing a virtue, should have its own re- ward.

She had quite recovered from the fit of subjection by his, and sought once more to exhibit her sue- cesful powers of teasing.

At length the night arrived that was decided on for the representation ot the theatricals, and found King's Ab- bott in a state of contagion impossi- ble and hopeless to describe, the most remarkable feature in the whole case being that nobody seemed in a proper frame of mind, the spirits of all being either too high or too low to 'stun the pert allotted thein, so that a 'Ansa - tion of Mingled terror and delight prevailed through every dresaing- room in the hewn).

This circumstance, in itself so ludic- rous, was considerably heightened in effect by "Sonny's" rosy cheeks, which convulsed the. beholders, while send- ing a thrill of anguish largely com- mingled with hysteria through . his fellow -players. However, in spite of this unlucky contretemps, tne scene • was declared to be most successful, little Sunnerly finishing his eart serenely grave and sweetly uncon- ecious to the end. - After the tableaux followed a ball, to effect a change of raiment for which soon caused the rapid emptying of the impromptu theatre. Denzil, who ecarcely felt in humor for 'balls or any other sort of enpase- meat just then, passed through the library.- door which opened (..ff the late scene of merriment, and sunk wearily into an .arnichair beside the fireplace. ' He was feeling sadly dispirited and out of place, amidst all the gaiety surrounding him; a sense of miser- able deeression was weighing him down.

As these thoughts rose once more • unbidden to his mind and took pos- aession ot him, he roused himself de- terminedly,and, getting up from Ms chair, threw out his arms with a talick impulsefrom him, as though teeolved upon the moment to be free. Just than the door opened, end Mildred entered. She ceane in swiftly, and adveneed so rap- idly toward the chinineYeldeee that, until she was within a toot .of. hina, she was not aware of Ms.:pre- sence there and acknowledged her sur- prise by a sudden start and exclama- tion ot alarm.

"This was a particularly fine buck that I had followed for three days. A strong man tan run any deer to earth in time, and at last I had „my prey out. From the top of a. hill I sight- ed him a few miles away. He had given up the fight and had stretched himself out in the snow. As I stalked him he changed his position and took shelter behind a bowlder, and, using the same bewlder for a ehelter, came suddenly face to face with him. He didn't attempt to run away, but stood there looking at me with the most piteous pair of eyes I ever saw. "Shot? I could no more have shot him than 1 could have ahot a child.

THE CURIOUS BANANA TREE, A Plant That Will Practibally Grow While You .Wait. If a good sized, healthy banana tree is ent off a few feet above the ground dur- ing the wet season the trees will not die, but nine times out of ten will send up a new shoot from the centre of the trunk and will grew fast enough to make up for test time, for NvIthin forty-elght hours It will rear waving green leaves triumph- antly above the severed trunk, The secret lies In the fact that the trunk of the banana tree is not hard and woody like other trees, but Is really coin - of undeveloped leaves wrapped tightly together in a spiral form. When the tree grows these rolled up leaves push upward and merely unroll, Thus no time is lost In forming bads and grow- ing leaves as to ordinary trees. 'When the trunk Is cut off it doesn't interfere with the growth of the leaves, because they are always pushing up from the centre of the stalk. If you will roll a sheet of paper tightly and push against one end you will see exactly how the leaves are pushed up from the trunk of the banana tree, and if you cut the roll in two you will find that It doesn't pre- vent you from pushing out the centre of the roll as before. Although the banana tree repairs an in- jury so vapidly and well, the shoot form- ed from the cut stalk seldom bears fruit or flowers. As these shoots are taller 'and stronger than the original trees. however. thsy are much better adapted to withstand wind and storms, and the natives frequently eat the banana trees In order to force them to produce the strong, fruitless growth and to serve as windbreaks for other crops.

A. slight disturbance of water dispcees it to freeze more rapidly, and this is the cause which accelerates the freezing of boiled water, The water that has been boiled has lost the air naturally contained in it, which on ex- posure to the atmosphere it begins again to attract and absorb. During this process of absorption a motion is necesearily produced among its parte eles, slight certainly and impercept- ible, yet probably sufficient to accel- erate its eongelation. Itt unboiled wa- ter this distal-la:Ince does not exist. In deed, water when kept perfectly still Can be reduced several degrees below the freezing point without its becom- ing ice.
