wide. And now thet his physi-
cian had ineisted on a long rest,
combined witli complete change
of scene, he had gone back to his
native town on a Mails to the dear old lady
who had so kindly " mothered" his orphan
childhood. She was the only thing that
seemed familiar to him. The town had
grown to a "city," very proud of ite in-
creaeing population; the quaint old "roads"
given place to busy streets, the churches
were ' improved " beyond all recogni-
tion, and his old friends grown older and
changed, like himself. Somehow the
changed, appearance of the place hurt
him. Be.could not go into raptures over
the new town hall or the splendid water-
works. The old meeting house end the
ancient village well would have looked
much better to his tired eyes. He had not
remembered that time changes places SW
well as people, and he missed an indefinable
something he had expected to find. He was
loneleoand homeeick for his pleasant rooms
and accustomed work. bloat of the people
he had loved were dead or .gone away, and
he fele too shy to ask after her. But in the
hopes of accidentally meeting her he at-
tended all the " society " doings of the
place, and even consented to be used as a
ehow article, In that capaciby he had been
inwited to -night, he knew, but his overmas-
tering desire to see "Kitty " had been
stronger them his nervous hatred of being
" lionbied."
"Don't make a fuss about me, please,
Mrs. Grant," he hed said to his h.:m'
imes a
otaid, dignified leader cf the town's best
people, who had once been a merry, rollick -
mg playmate of his. "1 don't mind being
pointed out as a lion ao amok, but I do hate
to be asked to roar." "Bub you meat roar,"
she had answered playfully, "you never
used to shirk your duty.' And so, to
please her, he had "roared" until he was
deadly tired and octal -weary of being
"talked up to," and longed, above every-
thing else, to be still and quiet. Then,
when he had seen a reporter hovering near
his hostess, and throwing apprehensive
glances in his direction he had retreated to
the stairs and stood leaning over the
bannister, ammuaingly watching the efforts
made by the " knight of the quill" to and
hien.
It was something like that old childish
game he had used to play with Kitty in
which one hid a thing and the other hunted
for it, and the reporter was getting very
" hot." He wan in fact, at the foot of the
stairs, when a lady peening up them said to
her companion, "Let us go to the ball -
100M and watch the young lady dance."
So to the gayly decorated ball -room they
went, and the scientisb followed in their
wake. Dancing had always seemed a curi-
ously attraotive phenomenon to him, bub
in the days he remembered so vividly re-
ligious dissipation had been the only kind
tolerated in Edgeville, and dancing in par-
ticular had been characterized as a ' wile of
the devil," so neither Kitty nor himself had
ever danced. He had an odd feeling, an he
thought of her now, that it would have
been very pleasant, indeed, to whirl lightly
about with her little hand on his arm, and
her pretty face so near to his heart, but all
the time he realized how foolish and frivol-
ous such thoughts were. As for Kitty, she
wee probably dead long ego, or married, for
no one seemed to opea,k or think of her any
more. How could he know that nearly
every one he had met so far knew or had
heard something of the time whea Kitty's
father had refused to let her marry so poor
a youth, and he had lefts town without
even seeing her, and that in consequence
they were shy of mentioning her in his
• presence 7 ,
• How could he know that the little loving
note she Mid sent him, as soon as she knew
of her father's decision, had for many
•• yearn lain forgotten in the coat pocket of
the brother whose children she loved so
dearly.
How could he know how the had suffered
veleen she received no airmen and thought
that his leve had, after all, nos been very
true I How could he know how she had
longed to question the boy, bat had felt too
conscious semi shamefaced to do so, nor how
bravely she had seppremed her peke when
the " baby " had, in the week precedinghis
marriage, found tbe unfortunate little note
and penitently confessed his forgetfulness?
litow could he know that all evenieg she
had renutined upstears, longing, yet fearing,
to meethim, and torturing berself by bhiri1.
Ing how lie,attleee she must have seemed to
him all these years?
• How could he know that When he, Peeing
a quiet oerner Melted off with tall palms
and mammal vestfl mew chairs and lounges,
hod greeefuny entered, and seated himself
Where ha could see bbe &meet's without
being mem hirmelf, ohe, front a shriller
rearm) ,n tits eppeeite corner had watched
him wit h e wild, umaaeonable feeling a
joy palming terough her whole being?
There is nothing leen le first love, after ell,
and it eleems dim hard, if indeed it ever
dies. Once in the quiet nook he lay bailie '
egaitett tee 81.)ft telthions and enjoyed to
the full the Wet perfuene thd diettint

and the mole of dainty clothing and the
hum of weft voices comb/tied ha a tender
murmur.
Now and agaiu it girlie cheery laugh raog
out and puce golden brecelet telt wide a
little ringing clatter eo tee floor. Time
with a long sigh, the means died away, and
he began to dread ale immeiou ; but no,
there were other nooks as 'entioiug, and
much mere occluded, so he wes; left in
pause, to dream of hie lost youth, and sigh
for it back again. Of course a sober man
of 40 ought to be past eentimental age, but
his younger days had been too full el stern
practicality to admit of time flavor of ro-
mance svhich comes to all lives some time,
and which, like all youthful tendencies, is
apt to revenge unnatural suppression by in-
t:re:toed strength, when, by and by, tbe
danger is considered over, and the reetreint
removed. He would nob have liked hie
learned and scientific) friendo to know how
the sound of mush: and danoing feet
thrilled him.
Presently the musicians began to play
again, bhe "College Songs Lancers " this
time, and he, knowing nothing of the way
in which they had lima metamorphosed and
joined to the lightest of verses, recognized
several airs vviansh in kis youth had been
considered synonymous with as many good
old hymns, He was by no means a relig-
ious man, yet it somehow shrieked and hurb
him a little to hear them played for laugh-
ing girla and boys to balance" and
"swing' end "cheese "to. It was a little
stareliag to see a merry couple cavort to the
°nee solemn strains of "When I Can Read
My Title Clear," and ib made him restless.
Moreover, a very tender pair of lovers came
to "sit out" the dance behind a big palm
very near his seat, and their con-
versation was very evidently meant for
their own ears,alone. So he made a tour
of the room, and chance (or was it fete?)
led him to the bower in which his old love
eat She •SW him coming, and trembled,
but there was no escape, and a midden
weakness forbade her even to change her
position. So it came to pass that when he
stepped round a bank ef flowers and en-
tered the cosy, sweet-smelling corner he
saw a slender, bleck-gowned form an.d a
face which seemed hardly changed at all
from the one he remembered so fondly.
He had neyer blamed her for letting him go
so easily, and now the love ao long dornzant
rose with mighty force and would nob down
again.
She sat on a low ottoman with the beauti-
ful arms he remembered so well (though he
had never seen them quire bare before),
lying across the sombre lap of her frock,
and one little hand holding a bunch of white
flowers. The other lay palm -upward, with
a mute look of impeal in the curving fingers
and dainty wrise, and her eyes rested on it,
so that the black curling lashea lay out-
lined igainsb the blushing cheek. And
what is so lovely as the blush of middle or
old age 1 Youth cannot compare with ib;
it is perfect, divine. He could nob speak;
his heart was too full for words, bat he
knelt by her side, e.nd took that helpless
trembling little hand in both his own; and
it flattered like a naged bird. She turned
her head away ahd as one id a dream he
noticed where one little look of hair had
escaped from the severe coiffure and lay on
the snowy neck. Stooping, he teoderly
kissed it, and she, turning upon him a face
which, if it had blusb.ed before, leaked like
a rising sun, tried to reprove him.
But she never did, tor kis arms were
around bor ----, and the ;flowers dropped
to the floor.

Heat Extracts la Illness.
We have witnessed many changel of
opinion respecting some of the commonest
artioles of diet for the sick. The old view
that calveehfoob jelly was of exceeding
nutritive value was ab one time so contro-
verted that the jellycoased to be much used.
It is now sanctioned as having a place in
dietetics, and I believe it may be safely re-
garded as a temporary form of nouriahment
of no inconsiderable value. Beef tea has
been in and out of repute, but we
have or should have no doubt now
as to its stimulant and restorative
properties. We cannob think lightly of
itt - as commonly prepared, for ib can
certainly prove hermfal, when nob de-
sirable, as in the case of rheumatic
fever. I believe it is right to withhold it
in such cases. Agin, it is so far apt to act
as an aperient that it is beet nob to employ
it in enteric fever, or in diarrhom, when the
bowels are in an irritable condibion. Mut-
ton, veal or chicken essences can, however,
be used, having no such aperient action.
We have to distinguish between a dietary
suitable for acute disease, when we have to
wait and tide over difficulties, and one that
may be better adapted to restore a con-
valescent or weakly patient. The highest
nutritive value may nob be (I think it is
not) the most) essential point to have regard
to in seleating a dietary in acute diseases.

Average Might of Kan.
A Freneb statistician, who has been
studying the military atid other records, has
found thet in 1610 the average height of
man in Earope was 5 feet 9 ; in 1790
it was 5 feet 6 inches ; in 1820 Do was 5 feet
5 inches and a fraction. At the present time
11 is 5 fest az inches. It is easy to deduce
from these figures a rate of regular and
gredual decline in human stature. By this
calculat:o it is determined that the stature
of the fleet mau attained the surprising
avettige of 16 feet 9 Inchon Goliath was a
quite degenerate offspring of giants. Coining
down to later time, we fiad that at the be-
ginning of our era the average height of
Mall wan 9 Mee, and in the time of
Charlemagne lb was 8 feet 8 inches. But
the most astonishing result of this scientific
study comes from the application of the
same inexorable lew of diminution to the
future.' The calculation shows that by the
year 4,000 A, D., the stature of the average
man will be reduced to 15 inchere
