"I had backed Kingfisher very heavily -Hercules for a place for much less -so that it the former won, and the latter failed to come seeond or third, I should still have cleared a good sum, despite the loss on Hercules; but if the case had been reversed, I should have lost the said sum on the race."

"Please, sir; if you are disengaged, Mr: St. Maur would. like to see you," said Mr. Morley's old clerk, entering his mas- ter's private room about 11 on the Tues- day morning, *.ehe money -lender was busy over a pie of inatispicious-lookina paperr, his brow somewhat pueltered, his lips rather omin- ously compressed; but at that announce- ment he looked quickly up with a posi- tive gleam of pleasure over his whole face, "Show him in, Robinson'and remember I am engaged as long as he is here." Robinson retired, and Morley swept the papers into a drawer rising, as the door again opened to admit the tall, graceful' figure of his favorite clion'e. "I ani gled to see you, by dear St. Maur," he said, cordially, grasping the other' e hand; "ver3r pleased to see you. Sit down," resuming his own place. "Thanks for your welcome," said Val. coner, smiling, as he threw himself into his usual seat, the easy-ehair on the hearth iear by; and for all the evritheg his own hand heil written against hint, he was -so brilliant and gifted, so rick in the glorious beauty aud pride of his manhood, that It was eurely no wonder if that ehildiess, solitary roan, almost entering thevale of his sixth decade, vselcomed this bright being of another world, and had put forth round him tor years the tendrils of affection that had wel-nigh withered for want of moisture.' It had grown very slowly on the hard, 'worldly man of moneysinetking, this lik- fug! it had been long before he recog- nized its existence; but there it was - and recently, a faet adtaltted to its ob- jeet. "And when I say I am pleased to see you, I mean it," said the money -lender "I know you do, Ken; that's the ode part of it, for you mutat feel tolerably sure that I have wine for oath again." "Truth to say, I expected you last week, against settling Monday," road Morley, coolly. *stake a glass of 'wine, though, before etartitig into bueiness." "Thanks -but 3. had rather not--" "Breakfasted late, eh, young man?" "If you cell 8 o'clock lare-yee. I never take pegs, you kuow." "I know you don't, nor care about eating and drinking at all; it's not miaow your vices," "Got plenty without that add," said the other, with a half -bitter laugh. "Well, suppose I'm emitted -cleaned out by Derby settlings yesterday -what will you stand?" "What hive yeti the audaeity to ask, you bold sirmner?

"Not ruined -oh, thank at omen!" lie grasped the young MAU'S band like a viee for a moment before lie let bins resume hia seat. "And if you had been -e" "If I bad, Ken, 1 shouldhave come straiglit to you; net to ask for ten thousand pounds, because that would have been absued, but to tell pea that 1 met cry bankrupt, and vaniali," °You would -honor bright, you would -have come to me, a, Maur?" Said the eider man, eagerly. "Yes''hut I repeat, not for help to suck a tune as that, when yoar account against inc must be somewhere about fifteeu thcrueaucl pounds. To ask you to cash up another ten on virtually no seeurity, would have passed even my Audacity, and beeu met by the flat re- fusai it deserved." 01'm not quite so sure of that, though," said the money -lender, strok- ing hie gray beard refleetively. "I like gold as well as most men, of course, and keep a tight grip on it, but I'm not et all hard; and wimp, I told aciu that I ed you, I meant what I said, as I always do, and I ahould have stood by you, and possibly made item arrangement fir you to give you a chance; though I don't say I should hav etouched at all upon so large a sum as I see you were mad enough to risk last week; it went very near, in the code of gamblers, to staking your honor," St. Maur started, flushing deeply -al- most his wife's very words. "I know it," he said, -with a kind of proud humility that touched the old man: "and I shall never again, I hope, sail so terribly close to the wind. I was mad, I don't the least deserve your kind words and friendly feeling, nor the luck that has crowned my desperate throw Of the dice. If Matador had won I was ruined." "Ale then you beaked Kingfisher?" "Very heavily', and Hercules for a place, and he, you saw, of course, was second. I won on both, and as the result of yesterday's settling," he rose up and laid a slip of paper before the money- lender, "please take that off my old ac- count." Morley took up the cheque, looked at It, then up into Falconer's face. "My dear fellow, have you made a mistake in. the figures?" "Not at all; I have drawn a cheque for five thousand pounds -it is quite right. Give me a receipts and mark it off the total debt I owe, that's all." "I will hand you over bills of yours to that amount," said the money -lender, unlocking a drawer. Into his rugged face there had come such a sunshine look of pleasure as few ever had seen there - not the gladness of the lender receiving his own again with usury, but the pleas- ure of the man who sees another -for whom he cares, whose welfare he has, in whatever degree, at heart -retrieving a downward pata, if only by one step. Falconer saw the expression and read. Ib aright, with a wonderful gratitude that told very little vanity or self-con- sciousness could be reckoned amongst the man's faults; but glancing auddenly up, Morley caught that look in the vel- vet -dark eyes, and both men smiled. "You are a bit of a riddle to me, Ken," said the younger. "Beeause 1 admit -shall I say -an ec- centric liking for such a very mixed pickle of good, bad and indifferent, as goes by the name of Falconer St. Maur -is that it?" "Yes, exactly.; it's a riddle, Ken." "Well, leave the riddle, and accept the fe.ct as 1 do. You are D. muck deeper riddle to me than I am to you, and one that, from an idle curiosity, I thoisel, above, everything, like you to read ate, you touched it that evening here just Later° the Newmarket -do 3 ou remem- ber our conversation?" "Yes." St. Maur leaned back In bis chair, but the hand that had rested lightly on tho eushioned arm clinched upon It. "You urged me to pull in, and throw out the suggestion, to see how I took it, that I might marry a rich wi- dow or an hetress, and 1 replied, 'Thank you for nothing." "That was not all you said," said Mor- ley, resting his broad hands on the bills he bad counted down; 'may I remind you?" Yes." "You added, `If I must be euchred, I must; but by heaven! 1 am not bad enough for such a game as that.' 1 said, 'There is a woman at the bottom of that, of coursed and you replied, 'There's a woman at the bottom of most men's lives, isn't there?

"You deal want me to do that, surely -to marry a woman I don't care for?" "Net for werlde; it would be your ruin. body and result" said the money- lender, strongly. "I waut to see yeti saved; and uothing, I verily believe, can do that but One thing -one being, W110 - ever she may be.

Another estimate has recently been made by C. Nordmann, The Mee- tly° temperature bas been determined with his pyrometer Was found to be about 5320 deg. absolute. Now, the brightness of an 'incandescent body emitting white lieeht varies sensibly as a, function of the temperature, and this law has been verified by comparison with numerous terrestrial light sources. Talting into consideration the absorp- tion of the solar atmosphere, the effec- tive temperature of the photosphere is probably about 6450 deg. absolute. The corresponding brightness of the mean effective layer is then about 319,000 de- cimal candle power. . - Minard's Liniment Lumberman's Friend. e • • Girl Athletes.

Bottles of wine 1,900 years old have been found in a sarcophagus dating from the first century of the Christian era in a graveyard at Bordeaux. That is to say the bottles had once contained wine, for according to the workmen who discovered them they were icompletely dried up inside when uncorked. A chem- ist, without suspecting the workmen of having dried the contents up themselves, analyzed a deposit at the bottom of the bottles and pronounced it to be the resi- due of what had originally been very good, wine. It appears to have been so good thee the owiler 1,900 years taro decided to be buried with it,-Londbon Telegraph. Ask for Minard's and take no other. • " A PROBLEM OF SZLEOTIOh.T.
