rMr, Flounder was a young gentleman of
aesthetic temperament. He was always in
love with some object or other. Sometimes
it was a lady that enslaved his affections
other tunes a picture or a pleo of sculpture;
and yet another time, perhaps, some teapot
of fanciful design, or other piece of dell of
rare pattern, would absorb all his emotional
famines, At tunes, however, he NVOuldget
muddled, and could not always tell who or
what he was in love with ; and in this state
he would remain until some circumstance
arose which exposed to him the error or
absurdity of his situation. He adored the
ladles; who petted and coaxed hien, But it
never came to anything. The girls soon
found out the evanescent nature of his pro-
fessions, and broke with, him in time to pre-
vent talk. This did not matter very much,
however, as he had a large and varied stock
always in halm! • select from. And so he
would fall in "a,t out of love in the most
serene way imaginable.
Mr. Hounder was five feet eight inebes in
freight. His shoulders were a bit narrow
and sloped beautifully ; light hair, brushed
flat ; large and full eyes, which, judging
from their far-off look, were capable at times
of discerning objects at an illiniitaable
tance; the delicate tracings of his eyebrows
required a close inspection to appreciate
thoroughly their beauty ; nose, aquiline ;
mouth, large, with plenty of upper Imp. He t

sure, was not very remunerative, but, .is he

lint things could not go on for ever in this
way. So 11r, Flounder thought one evening,
as le laid down an article Ito had been read-

Writer had clearly proved that it was the
bounden duty of a mann, if he had the nte.tns
to search out for a woman whom he mold

she were willing to have him.
Mr, Flounder had always looked ulmu

AM sorely lout about as to how he should

his walking stick standing in a corner, .t
glean of intelligence lighted up his face.
Getting up, he returned with the stick, and
resenting, lninself with. the eiooked end of
the etiek in his mouth, felt that he was now
in as position to combat the difficulty.
The great question Wn.s lieW before him,

As he slowly and solemnly sucked the end

The sound of the clock in the hall strik-
ing fi reminded him that he had accepted an
invitation to Mrs. Brown's party that very
evening. Hastily putting on his dress things
he was soon on the way to his destination.
Mrs. Brown was famous for collecting all
the pretty and fascinating girls to her par-
ties, and Mr. Flounder had ample scope in
in which to exercise his discrimination. But
being on his mettle now, Ilobecameextrema-
ly fastidious, with the result that he returned
to his lodgings with the conviction that Mrs.
Brown was not able to produce a woman
worthy of his love.
The next night found him in the theater.
While the audience attended to the perfor-
mance, Mr. Flounder scammed the sea of
faeesabout him in the hope that he would
find the object of his desire. From bis
place in the pit•stalls he carefully scrutinized
each individual lady in the boxes. But she
was not there. Then his eyes swept the differ-
ent circles with like avail. The dress circle
absorbed the greater share of his attention.
Feeling that he should leave no stone un-
turned, his gaze soared even to the ods,"
in case the one flower Ile sought should have
perchedso high. But no ! He then relieved the
strain on his nook by examining the females
in his immediate vicinity, but no one came
up to the mark. His love put in no appear-
ance, and Mr. Flounder at last fall his
eye -glass just as the curtain fell on the
final scene, and he turned to his lodgg-
in , his future wife still to be discovered -
Nothing daunted, however, he pursued
his search clay after day, but with like re-
sult. He tried all the houses at which he
was accustomed to visit, but not one girl of
his acquaintance came up to his ideal, and
he saw that he must only extend. the search
outside his own circle, as the writer had
f stated in the pamphlet. At the time that
A(
he came to this conclusion he was seated
t, as usual in his armchair before the fire. He
`had no intention of giving up the search
without first trying every available means in
his power. He began to revolve in his mind
what plan he ought to pursue in order to
compass his ends, when he heard a timid
knock at his door. In response to his "come
in," the door slowly opened, and, to his
great surprise, he beheld a lady, richly but
quaintly dressed, advancing toward him with
a slow and graceful motion. Mr. Flounder
was quite taken aback for an instant by this
very unexpected visit. Ladies had never
before visited bim at his lodgings. But his
natural gallantry and ease of manner re-
turned at once. Removing the crook from
his mouth, he got up, and, advaneing to
meet his visitor, courteously requested her
to be seated, placing a chair for the purpose.
As the lady sat down she slowly lifted her
veil, exposing to Mr. Flounder's enraptured
gaze a face of such unrivalled beauty, linden
expression so mournfully sweet, as deprived
him of all power of speech and motion. Fix.-
ing
ix=ing her beautiful eyes on his, the lady said,
in tones that thrilled his, every nerve, "Mr.
Flounder; T am your true love." Then—he
knew not how—the lady was gone, and Mr.
Flounder awoke.
He could scarcely believe that he had
been dreaming. -Everything—the party at
Mrs. Brown's, the theatre, other places, and
Must of all; thebeautifullady—had seemed so
vivid and lifelike, bore such an impress of
reality that he felt almost inclined to regard

Lighting a cigarette, he sallied forth to

the unusual strain on his mental faculties,

effort to maintain it had led him out of the
'sways of official honesty. He was a man in
noddle life, of full habit, and benevolent
countenance. He was a cosmopolite in his
associations, was easy to become acquainted
with, and not careful as to the character of
his companions. He was always mellow by
sundown, and rarely went to bed sober.
Such a man, it would seem, would fall an
easy victim to the wiles of a procurer, The
sequel proves that things are not what' they
seem: A Detroit proeurer named Martin
took the ease in hand. He remained nearly
two months at Windsor, stopping at the
hotel there which is patronized by nearly
all the American colony. He was on excel-
lent term with the defaulter, but could
never get him drunk enough to cross the
river to Detroit. An attempt was made on
several occasions to render frim helpless from

day the robber introduced Martin to his
frieud, Mr. Tolbert. Tolbert was a villain-
ous looking character, but Martin saw in
hien a hopeof ultimate success. He was
not long inopeningnegotiatons, and Tolbert
wry no. long in ciosingw•itb him. Tinder
the terms of the agreement Tolbert was to
accompany the Ohioan on a drive into the
country in a closed carriage, put a drug in
his drink which would put him in a sound

Not until tho last echoes of those thrilling of theatres, and of his
notes had died away in his ears slid Mr.
Flounder rouse from his trance, and he look-
ed about hien with a bewildered air.
All the people had gone away fromn the
picture, andwere scattered about. It was
some time, however, before he realized how
(natters stood. At fast a look of relief and
triumph passed over his face. He had dia.
covered the portrait of his true love. He
was on the track at last. He could easily
find out whose the portrait was, and then
all he had to do was to find out her address
and go and throw himself down at her feat.
A few simple questions and it was done.
His bosom heaved at time thought.
Looking round, he espied.an official of the
place. Crossing over to him, Mr. Flounder
asked, with bated breath, whose portrait
was yonder.
"Maty Queen of Scots," was the laconic
reply.
A thrill of happiness and pride combined
pervaded Mr. Flounder. His aspirations
had not soared to the majesty of a crown.
Visions of himself and his love seated on a
throne rose before him as he inquired where
she lived.
"Live !" echoed the official, roused from
his apathy ; "she doesn't live at all ! , She's
dead, man 1"
"Dead ?" It seemed to Mr. Flounder as
if he had heard his own knell, and his visage
perceptibly lengthened as he asked when
she died.
"Let me see," said the other in a lacka-
daisical voice, and referring to a book
which he held in his hand, "on the 8th of
February, 1587."
Mr. Flounder's eyes filled to bursting as

there he began to look for a Ivan to whom
he could trust the delicate work he wanted
done. How he ever fell upon Severance,
the man he employed, and who remained in
his employ for years, is not a part of the
narrative. Severance was a man about

tune, but maintained the outward appear-

I:r•r of Total Utluarress,
There is a young girl lying in one of the
wards in Wolin' Hospital, Chicago, a slight,
white girl with yellow hair. She is only `31,
but her eyes are failing and the physicians
say that theenil will be blindness. Of course
there is a elenice. 'There always is. The
simple fact that a young girl is losing her
eyesight is not of much importance ; the
world is too busy to pay much attention to
commonplace thingsof this sort. There is
clue element in this story that lifts it above
the eo nmouplaee. That young girl is of the
same tough, true fibre that ole heroes and
heroines were made of.
