CARMI IARDIOIRS CO,, Met Lai NI, :4S1 hall trol, T EASTERTID • The slanting rays a the afternoon sun shone in through, the sitting -room windows of the little brown cottage, at the foot a the hili. The sunshine gleamed upon the gilded picture- tra.mee and polislaed mahogany furni- tut e, and played in lights and shadows among the Soft folds of Nisi Ahigal Maynard's crimson dress, Miss Abigal delighted in rich, warm ocloring, and from the first, frosty days of early Oetober, until the sparrow twittered to his mate in the blessora-laden or- ehard, the little fire within the grate east its ruddy glow about the roora. It was the only luxury whieh Miss Abigal allowed herself. The door was suddenly pushed open wide, and with a great stamping of snow-covered boots, and much puffing and blowing a breath, a diminutive youngster, with a round, rosy face, lit by a pair of dark, roguish eyes, rushed in, tumbling over the tabby eat in his haste, and bringing with him, into the quiet room, a whiff a the breezy, outer world. "0, Aunt Ab," Jae cried, breathlessly, "there's loads and, loads of furniture aoraing to the big house on the hill, an' we can't play in the park any more, an' there's a man cleaning the windows, an' another man, wif a big, somefin' or other name is coining there to live, an' he's been in Ladja, art' say, Aunt Ab, &you think he'll bring a tiger wif him?" Miss Abigars pretty face was flush- ing and paling alternately. "Is it Colonel Bexaboyne ?" she ask- ed, trying in vain to conceal the quiver in her voice. Bobby vigorously nodded his curly head. "Yes, 'tis, an' he's coming this week, an' say, Aunt Ab, girame a doughnut. It's most ten hours since dinner." That night, after Miss Abigal had tucked her sleepy, little nephew into his warm crib, and had listened while he repeated his evening prayer, until at the words, "lead us not into tempt- ation," the drowsy voice had sudden- ly ceased, as its owner had floated away to the land of Nod, she return- ed, as usual, to her cosy fireside. But though the white fingers and shining needles flashed, in and out among the bright -hued wools which lay on her lap, her thoughts were far away. In memory she had travelled back through the long, deep vista of years gone by. • A tender, dreamy smile played about her mouth. "It was just fifteen years ago this month tliat we quarrelled," she said, unconsciously speaking her thoughts aloud. "He was so strong-willed, and so positive about everything, and I was so quick-tempered, and-" "And you were two yonng fools," added old Phebe energetically, Sinish- ing the sentence for her mistress, as she noisily replaced the supper dishes upon their shelves. Phebe, who had served the Maynard family faithfully for a generation, -was a privileged person in the little house- hold, and Miss Abigal did not contra- dict her emphatic statement. * 0 * * The little church of Milbank was unusually well filled on the fol- lowing Sabbath morning, and when a tall, martial figure, clad in a military cloak, passed down the aisle and. en- tered the Beraboyne ppw, which had been for so many years unoccupied, a little flutter of excitement passed over the congregation, and there was much rustling of silks and craning of necks among the feminine portion of the assembly, to catch a glimpse of the distinguished traveller. Prom her sheltered seat behind a broad pillar Miss Abigal looked once more upon her lover. The years which had dealt so kindly with her had. brought to him gray hairs. His square -out features, which she could see in profile only, had a stern, some- what sad, expression, so different from the look of the gay, impetuous youth whom she had known. Her quick eyes noticed a tiny bunch of violets which nestled on the lapel of his coat. Violets were her favorite flowers. She wondered if he had re- membered that, and if it were for her sake that he wore them. Then she felt sure of it, and, womanlike, was glad. She remembered the last flowers that she had given thim. They were violets, ana she had fastened them on his coat herself, and he had -- but at this point Miss Abigal abrupt- ly turned from her wandering thoughts and gave close attention to the sermon. At the close of the service, while the others crowded around the bearded soldier, Miss Abigal slipped quietly away. Not amid the throng could she bid hbal welcome home. The day was calm and mild, one of those days which sometimes come ixi the wayward month of "'Starch. Here amci there, like a green oasis in the midst of a dreary waste, a few tiny blades of grass, from their snowy hied, peeped shyly forth. A robin red- breast hopped across her path, and Miss Abigal remembered, with a thrill of joy. that spring was close at hand. With an almost childish deiig.ht she drank in deep breaths of the fresh sweet air, and felt how good it, Woe to live. She had almost traversed the short distance betWeeti the ehurch and her cottage, when her ear co ught the sown' of hurtying steps behind. Turn- ing quickly, she found hereelf flee te face with a tall lady, of nnguiar art- pearente, nith Min bleaehad hair coiled loosely around her head, and a pair of piercing eyes, which somehow gave one the urtectinfortable feeling that their owner WaS endeavoring to read one's innermost thought% Mrs, Van Norton was what., she de- lighted in hearing herself ealled, "a somets. leader,'" and 01108 a, fortnight, IA her artistic parlors, dispensed dainty cups of tea ttud ehoice dishee of &sandal among her lady friends of Millbauk. Miss Abigal, who bated both tea and, gossip, -rarely made One at these &Mal re-uniOns, and bemuse of this, and of her sharp tongue, which had a way of frequently Uttering Un- pleasantly truthful speeches, Mrs, Van Norton had long sinee placed her on the list with those vvho were to be let severely alone, But on this beauti- ful Sabbath morning, the last trace of her enmity seemed to have disappear- ed, while Miss Abigai, with this strange, new feeling of gladness fill- ing her healt, fat amiable toward all the world, "Did you see Colonel Bemboyneitt church ? Don't you think that he has gTeatly changed?" Mrs. Ven Nor- ton asked, while with her sharp eyes she elosely scrutinized IVIiss Abigars face. The reason for Harold Bem- boyne's sudden departure for foreign lands, fifteen years before, had been a cause of dispute among the village gossips for many a day. Miss Abigal inunedia.tely relapsed into monosyllables, and Mrs. Van Nor- ton went volubly on. "As I said to Mr. Van Norton this morning, 'My dear,' I said, 'how plea- sant it will be to see that great house inhabited,' It really did seera sinful to have it standing empty so long, be- sides, the lonely feeling, that it gives one, to see rows of empty windows forever staring at one. Haven't you ever felt that way ?" Yes, Miss Abigal knew all about that feeling. Never. in all these fif- teen years had she looked at that deso- late house without a wave of utter, hopeless homesickness sweeping over her. Mrs. Van Norton waited. a raoment for a reply, but receiving none, rat- tled on. "The Colonel never would lease or sell the house. I suppose he always meant to come back again.' When Mrs. Benaboyne arrives, we may hope to see the inside of it." "Is there a Mrs. BeMboyne, then," Miss Abigal asked. with affected care- lessness, although the words seemed to almost choke her. Mrs Van Norton adjusted her eye- glass carefully and stared itt amaze- ment at her companion. "Why, is it possible that you have not heard? He is to be married in Tune to a Boston lady, whom he met abroad- 0, I assure you, it is no sec- ret., I heard it from Mrs. Shandon, and Mrs. Shandon from Mrs. Hender- son, and she from someone, who is well acquainted with this lady's cousin. So we may hope for gay times this sum- mer. Testa. Do come and see me sometimes." Like one in a dream, Miss Abigal passed up the narrow, winding walk, and entered her little home. The rose - head glasses through which she had been looking had dropped from her eyes, and all the world looked gray again. Going to her bureau, she drew from the innermost depths of the top drawer a miniature portrait. Loving- ly, lingeringly, she gazed at it. The handsome, boyish face, with the deep, earnest eyes smiled hopefully back in- to her own. But they brought no answering gleam of brightness into the woman's face. ' A sudden colour flushed her cheeks, her eyes kindled once more with that fiery snap, which had driven her lover from her, and obeying a sudden impulse she turned, and flung the picture into the fire, • • * 0 • • Weeks went by, and although Colonel Bemboyne called repeatedly at the little, brown cottage, he was rewarded by- not even a glimpse of its mistress. Upon the occasion of his first visit Miss Abigal was ill, upon the second. she sent word that she "was engag- After that the Colonel came no more. Meanwhile he was not suffered by the outer world to remain undisturb- ed. Invitations to luncheon and to dinner showered upon him. The tiny. delicately -tinted envelopes piled, them- selves upon his library table, and mingled their delicate perfume with the musty odor of the classic volumes. But all were alike impartially refus- ed. While the ladies of Milbank were thus vainly endeavouring to allure the grave soldier into society, the little children had found in him a new play- mate, and the broad halls of the great, lonely house echoed to the sound of frolicsome laughter. and the patter of childish feet, , But chief among them all, in his heart, reigned Bobby. The child would nestle his curly head upon the broad shoulder of "Bimbo," snob was the word into which his childish tongue had twisted the Colonel's long name, and would listen with gaping mouth and ever' -widening eyes to the mar- vellous tales which the Colonel had to tell of hunting with elephants in the jungles of far -away India. "An' be shotted it, just when it was a'goin' to spring on him. Ain't yoxi glad that Bixabo wasn't killed. ?" Bobby would ask his aunt, as at the supper -table he poured into her ears the wonderful stories. But at such times Miss Abigal was always strangely silent. "Women don't understand about these things," Bobby would confide to the Colonel next; day, "and they are so frightened a everything. Why, I are a man," he would add, planting some women are afraid of mice. When his sturdy feet stoutly on the floor, and drawing up his little figure to its full height, "when I am a man, .1' will go to Indja, too. I like to fight. am not afraid of anything." - There came a day when Bobby com- plained of cold feet, and an aching head. Even the story of the Colonel's hair -breadth escape from the clutthes of the tiger, whose spotted skin now adorned the library floor, failed to interest him, and it was With anxious forebodings khat the Colonel in the gathering dusk, carried his little framed to Vise Abigal's gale. 'Farth- er he did not venture, Before enother day had passed Bobby was tossing feverishly upon his enowe' bed, while Miss Abigalbent ever hien with a heavY, heavy heart. Since the dear mother, and fair, young 4istet had goae to heaven, only Bobby had been left; for her to love, only Robby -and one otrier. Over and over, while the fever was et renter upon him, the child would fight I he betties of his hero friend, Then when utterly exhausted his head would fall back again upon the hot pillow he would eall itoploringly for "DIMINO."

"Tf he rouses from thie stupor he will mov- er," the kind-hearted old doctor had said., as he hurried away lest the anmous watchers should read, in his face how hopeless be deemed the case, The long night wore slowly away, and mornmg dawned. Easter morns ing I • The child had not stirred, but still lay as in a deep sleep. "He will spend his Easter in Heaven, '' Miss Abigal said, with a stifled sob, "and I, -.T will be deso- late." The Colonel drew nearer to her. ".A.bbie," he said gently. Miss Abigal started. So long a tune had passed since she had heard that dear forgotten name that she had al- most forgotten how it sounded. "Can't you forgive the past yet, Abbie," he continued pleadingly, the time of waiting has seemed solong, and I have been desolate all these years." Miss Abigal gave a smothered gasp. "But the Boston lady -the lady, who -who is to marry you in Tune," she stammered. The Colonel looked bewildered. "Never heard of her;" he answered, with his customary, soldier blunt- neSS. "Through all my wanderings I have been true to the woman I love, and I have come back at last to spend the rest of my life with her, if she will receive me. Am I welcome dear?" Before Miss Abigal could make reply there was a stir among the blankets in the little cot, and a drowsy voice was laeard to murmur, "Can't say my prayers to -night, too -sleepy. The voice softly died away as, with a tir- ed sigh, Bobby sank into a quiet sleep. ln the church near by, the assembled worshippers were singing the Easter hymn, "Christ the Lord. is risen to -day, Sone of men and angels say : Raise,your songs and voices high, Sing ye heavens; thou earth reply!" Louder and clearer swelled the triumphant strain, until like a glad burst of sunshine it rang bate the darkened room, and, hearing it, the man and woman, clasping hands across the little bed, bowed. their heads and lifted up their hearts in thankful prayer to God.

A recent Paris Figaro gives us a very interesting description of how that delicacy of delicacies, pate de foie gras, is made. To the ordinary man and woman no coricaption of the tor- ture to which the poor, unfortunate goose is put could possibly be imagin- ed. The geese when about nine months old are taken from the pastures, and placed in an. underground cellar, vvhere broad, slanting stone slabs stand in rows, and are bound fast to the tables. They are literally ermi- ned. Feet, wings and bodiesare spread out and bound by bands, so that only the neck is left free. As may be imagined, the animal struggles with all its might against -Ellis stretching, till after days of vain endeavor to free itself from the bands and its position, its powers ot resistance are overcome, and a dull resignation, broken only by its low cries, takes possession of it. Two months must pass away before death brings re- lief. The animals meanwhile are cram- med with dumplings made if a dough of buckwheat, chestnuts and stewed maize. Every two hours six times a day, they receive from three to five dumpling pills, which in time become so sweet to the tortured creatures that they stretch their necks to be cre.mnied. \ The most difficult task is th deter- mine the right moment for death.
