OR, A SAD LAM STORY "And to think that it is only April !" eb suys with an air of prosaic aston- ish::tett. "Ls.ut April we, had four inches of snow on the front drive. It was when Cecilia had the mumps." "When Cecilia had the mumps?' re- peals Burgoyne in a ruttier dazed voice voice. "I did not know thus Cecilia had ever had the mumps." This is lite form into which aro frozen the love -words that, the nightingale and the perfume of the Tuscan (lowers und the Ave \!aria had so nearly broul'ht to his longue. Hail Aphelia known what an unwonted bust of tenderness her un- lucky reminiscence had choked, she would have regretted it probably with a good deal deeper bitterness than would many a woman with a happier gift of utterance. But she is blessedly ignorant of what Cecilia's mumps have robbed her, and presently again strikes athwart tho nightingale's song with the placid remark: "I like your friend very much; 1 think (lint she is a very nice woman." This lime Burgoyne has no dilitcully In responding immediately. Miss Wil- son's first speech had so effectually chased his dreams that he can now re- ply with commonplace kindliness : "She has just been button -holing me to make the sante confidence al'out you." "And she Ls so fond of you," continues Amelia. Ile laughs. "She has just confided to me That so are you;" Then, with a hurried change of tone, in dread lest the last speech shall call out some expression of Iho mute pent passion always lurking in her patient eyes, he adds lightly, "1 seem to be very generally beloved 1" What effect the flat (ninny, as it seems to Jim himself, of this last observation has upon Amelia, does not appear, since she receives it in silence; and again tho Ave Muria and the bird divide between them the province of sound. As the great sun droops, the honey- suckle above their heads seems to give out nu,ro generously its strong clean sweetness. The rest of the party have drifted away out of sight and hearing; but by -and -bye their voices aro again heard and their returning forams seen. As They draw near, it appears that their origiunl number of three has Leen ant. merited by the addition of two men ; and a still nearer approach reveals who the two men are. Mrs. Byng lends the way, talking animatedly to Nlr. Green- ock, who is evidently an old acquain- Stonce. Ilyng trails after them by hint- s., ;f, and the rear Ls brought up by Cecilia and a portly clerically -dressed figure, whom Jim at once recognizes as the Devonshire clergyman. his failure in obtaining information about whom has embittered and fidgeted his whole day. Hero then is the opportunity Ito has sought brought to his very hand. And yet his first feeling, as he sees (he com- placent priestly face, and the deliberate black legs pacing beside Cecilia. is eine of &entity. There is nothing unlikely in Rio supposition that he may have been presented to her at the garden -pony at the Itcllrsgunrdo villa, and yet he now realizes with a shock of surprLse that they aro acquainted, and, if acquainted, then nt liberty to conterse upon what- ever subject may lest recommend Itself I. than.

Iter sense of humor is neither keen nor quick, but there Ls a hooch of very mild sarcasm in her voice, as she' says. watching her si tee's re- treating rigure : '1..* ilia has found n new friend, a clergyman again; do you know what his name is?' "I relieve it is ilurton or Bruton. or something of the sort." replies Jim re- luctantly. feeling as if even in admitting know hedge of the stranger's surname he erns letting out n dnngerous secret. "I should have thought Ihnt she had had en'.ngh of the Church,' •ho Ride with n t t ry touch more pronounced accent of satire than Miss Wilson's.

Amelia dies not share her lover's un- easiness, as indeed why should she ? She puts the expected lip into the young Tuscan's dirty brown hand, and leans her he.ul cn;uyingly on the buck of the stone seat. "1 think I like to come to these sort of places with you even better than to pic- ture galleries," bite says with an intima- tion of exlrme content. "Do you, dear?" replies he absently, with his intense eyes still searching the spot at which Cecilia and her escort had disappeared. "Of course you are quite right : 'God made tho country, and man monde the---' Ah !" The substitution of this ejaculation for the noun which usually concludes the proverb i; due to the fact of the couple he is interested in, having conte back Into sight, retracing their steps, and again approaching. It is dear as they come near thud the desire to explore the villa grounds has given way, in this case, to the absorption of conversation. \With a long pang of dread, Jin►'s shar- pened faculties realize, before they are within earshot, that they have ex- changed the light and banal civilities which had at first employed them for talk of a much more intimate and Inter- esting character. Cecilia is generally but an indifferent listener, greatly pre- ferring to take the lion's share In any dialogue; but now she Is all silent ale Lenlion, only pulling in, now and again, a short eager question, while her com- panion is obviously narrating!--narrathlg gravely, and yet with a marked relish. Narrating what? Jim tells himself angrily that there are more stories than one in the world; that there is no rea- son why, because Cecilia's clerical friend is relating to her something, it must necessarily be that particular something which he dreads so inex- pressibly; but he strains his ears as they pass to catch n sentence which may re- lieve or confirm his apprehensions. Ire has not to strain them long. It i.: Cecilia who is speaking, and in her eagerness she has raised her voice. "You may depend upon me; 1 assure you 1 am as safe as a church; if I had chosen I night Irnvo made a great deal of mischief in my day, but 1 never did. 1 always said that she had a histoy. 1 d: not pretend to be a physiognomist. but I cald so the first time I saw her.

Ile has already opened Ills mouth to respond when an unexpected interruption arrests the stream of his eloquence. Jim has sprung from his bench, and thrust himself un- ceremoniously between the two interlo- cutors. "Come and see the wistaria," he says, brusquely addressing the, girl; "you wero not there with us when we were booking at 11, were you? you were maintaining the other dny that wistaria has no scent ; conte and smell it f' It is in vain that Cecilin protests that she bins already seen quite as much of the wielnria as she wishes; that she had never denied the potency of its perfume; that her legs are giving away beneath Ler from fatigue. Jim marehcs her re- lentlessly away. nor docs he again quit her side until he sees her safely sealed In the linen, which is to carry her tome. It is indeed his portion to have a tere-a- telo drive back to Florence with her, Byng having absently stepped into the vehicle which bears the other ladies. 11e draws a long breath ns they jog slowly away from the villa, !eating the clergy- man taking off his tall hal, with a battled and offender air of farewell.

Jim draws a long breath, and leans back in his corner of the Ilncre. Ile has gained the information he sought. It has cone to his hand at the very tltho he was chafing most at his inability to go in quest of it. "So your interruption wns the more provokinrl." continues 1�'cilin, her indig- nation pulling out and ruffling Its fea- thers at the recollection of her wrongs, "as it was our lost chance of meeting; however, you cut your own throat; ns he evidently knew something very interest- ing about your dear friends, something which he does not generally tell people, and which tie would not have told Ire only that iue saw at once i was no blab."

Previous to setting fruit trees our place had been for 20 or 30 years nearly uli the limo used as a pasture, writes Mr. W. I1. Pillow.

ONE-IIALF (RECLAIMED. Borstal System of Dealing With Youth- ful Convicts. How young criminals aro now being 'uplifted in the dim atmosphere of Eng- lish prisons to a moral condition, in' which they are able to return to free- dom with the prospect of a useful life before them, has been shown very clear- ly by Sir Evelyn Ruggles -Brice, Chair- man of the Prison Commission. Sir Evelyn has explained fully what has come to be known ns the "Borstal sy-t rn," from being used In Borstal Prison, and which Ls applicable only to offenders between the ages of 16 anti 21, who, in official language, are known as "juvenile adults." More Than 40 per cent. of the indictable crime in Britain, he holds, is committed by young per- sons between 16 and 21 years old, while. between 50 and 60 per cent. of the Nabi-` lual criminals undergoing imprison- ment graduate through a series of short sentences before they are 21. For the benefit of these young offen- ders physical training has been inlro- du:cd into the prisons in lieu of exer- cise. Special arrangements are made for education, and lectures arc given on moral subjects. A very effecilen7 of the plan, loo, is choir practice two or !twee limes n week.
