(Continued from lost week.)
"And then we discussed it afterward:
We had a long discussion. And then he
read us the 'Legend of Pornic,' and we
had a discussion about that. Mrs.
Bowen says it WAS real gold they found
in the coffin • but I thiek it was the
`rl's 'gold hair.' I don't know which
. Morton thought. Which do you'
Don't you think the 'Legrnd of Pornic '
is splendid ?"
"Yes, it's a great poem, and deep,"
said Colville. They ha1 come to .a
plaee where the bank slo eel invitingly
to the river. "Miss ' e,» he asked,
'wouldn't you like to go down and
throw stones inth the rno ?-- That's
what a river is for," he added, as ,the
child glanced toward I Imogene for
authorizetion—"to have tones thrown
into it."
"Oh, let us "cried lin gene, rushing
down to the brink. "1don't want to
throih sterteeinto it, but to get near it—
to- get near to any bit of hature. They
do pen you up so from it in Europe !
She 'Stooi and watched Colville skim
stones over the current. " 'When you
stand by the shore of a swift river like
this, or near a, railroad train when it
comes whirling by, don't you ever hare
a morbid impulse to fling yourself for-
ward?" I •
"Not at my time of life, said Col-
ville, stooping to select 'a flat stone."
"Morbid impulses are one of the luxu-
ries of youth!? He threw the stone,
which skipped triumphantly far out into
the stream. "That was beautiful,
won't it, Miss Effie V' '
f` Lovely !" murmured the child.
e offered her a, flat pe - bk.. "Would
- yoh like to try one ?" •
"It would spoil my glo es," she said,
in -deprecating refusal.
"Let ma try it?" .eijied Imogene.
"Pm not afraid of my gi. veg."
Colville_ yielded the pelt le, looking at
her with the thought of iiow intoxicat-
ing he should once have fjourd this bit
of willful abandon, but feeiing rather
sorry for it now. " Oh, Perhaps pot," -
he said, laying his hand upon here and
looking into her eyes.
She retained his look, and then she
dropped the pebble and put her hand
back in her muff, and turned, and ran up
the bauk. "There's the carriage. It's
time we should be going." At the top
:of the bank she became a mirror of dig-
nity,: a transparent mirror to his eye.
"Are you going back to tcia-n, Mr. Col-
ville V" she asked, with formal state.
"We could, set you down anywhere."
"Thank you, Miss Graham. I shall
be glad to avail myself of your very kind
offer. Allow me" He handed her cere-
moniouely to the carriage ; he -handed
-Me Bowen even more ceremoniously. to
the carriage, holding his hat in one hand
while he offered the other. Then he
mounted to the seat in front of
them. "The Area:Ger has chenged," he
said. ,
Imogene hid her face in her muff, and
Effie Bowen bowed hers -against Imo -
gene's shoulder.
A sense of the girl's beeuty lingered
in Colville's thought...all dey, and recur-
red to him again and again '• andothe
ambitious intensity and -tuthusiasm of
her talk came back in toudhei of amuse-
ment and compassion. How divinely
young it all was, and how lovely !
He patronized it from a height far
aloof. I
He wes not in the fram of mind for
the hotel table, and he we rt to lunch at
a restaurant. He chose a simple tratto-
ria the first he came to, aud he took his
seal at one of the bare, rude tables,
where the joint saucers for pepper and
salt, and a small glass fot tooth -picks,
with a mach -scraped porcelain box for
matches, expressed an ! uncorrupted
Florentinity of custom. But when he
gave his order in off -hand Italian, the
waiter answered in the French which
waiters get together for the travellers'
confusion in Italy, and he resigned him-
self to whatever chance of acquaintance
might befall him. The place had a coin-
panionable smell of stale tobacco, and
the dun light showed him on the walls
of a space dropped a step or two lower,
at the end of the room, 1 a variety of
sketches and caricatures. 'A waiter was
la.yinc, a large table in this space, and
wheziColville came up to , examine the
drawings he jostled_ himovith due apolo-
gies, in the haste of a nan working
against time for masters w us will brook
no delay. He was huiriiig still . when
a party of young men came in and tobk
their places at the table, and began to
rough him for his delay. Colville could
recognize several of them in the vigorous
budesques on the walls, and as others
("topped: in the grotesque portraitures
made him feel as if he had seen them
before. They all talked a once, each
man ef bis own interests, except when
theeejoined in a'shout of mockery and
welcome for some new-coiier.Colviiie,
at his risotto, almost the oom's length
away, could hear whet hey thought,
one and another, of _ Botticelli and
Michelangelo; of old Pfloty's things
at Muuich ; of the dishes they had
served to them, and of the quality of
the Chianti, of the respective merits of
Gemmel and Italian tobacco ; of whether
Ingiehart had probably got to Venice
yet; of the persenal liebits of Billings,
and of the question wheth .1- the want of
thing to do with his Itali n accent; of
modelling- in Simmons's n se had any -
the overrated coloring of some of those
Venetian fellows; of th delicacy of
Mine da Fiesole, and of the genius of
Ba,bseres_tailor. Babson was there to
defend the cut of his trete ers, and Bil-
lings and Simmons we e present to
answer for themselves at tie expense of
the pictures of those w o had caned
their habits and features into question.
When, it came to this, &11 the voices
joined in a jelly uproar. Derision and
denial broke out of the tumult, and
presently they were all talking quietly
of a reception which some bof them were
at the day before. Then olville heard
one of them saying that he weuld like a
ehance to paint some lady whose name
lee did not catch, . and " She looks
awfully sarcastic," one of the young- fel-
bows said. I
"They say she is," Seid another.
" They say she's awful intellectual."
"Boston ?" queeied a th'rch
"No; Kalamazoo. T1ie centre , of
culture is out there now.
" She knows how to dr ss, anyhow,"
said the first commentator "1 wonder
1
what Parker would talk to her about
when he was painting her? He's
never read anything but Poe's ' Ulla-
luree." .
"Wen, that's a good subject—' Ulla -
lime.' "
"I suppose she's read it?"
"She's read 'most everything, they
say."
" What's an Iillalume, anyway, Par-
ker ?"
One orthe group sprang up from the
table and drew wale wall what he la-
belled "An Ullalume." Another rapid-
ly depicted Parker in themoment Of
sketching a young lady, her portrait
had got as far as the eyes and nose when
some one protested : "Oh, hello I No
personalities:" ' ••
The draughtsman sold, "Well, :all
right !" and sat down again:
"Hall talked with her the most.
What did she Bey, Hall?"
"Hall can't remember words in three
syllables, but he says it was mighty
brilliant and mighty deep." .
"They say she's a -niece of Mrs.
Bowen's. : She.'s staying with Mrs.
Bowen.'
Then it was the wisdom and brilliancy
and severity of Imogene Graham that
these young men stood in awe of ! Col-
ville remembered how the minds, of
girls of twenty -had once dazzled him.
• " And, yes," he Mused; "-she must have
believed that we were talkingliterature
inthe Caseine. Of course I should have
thought it an intellectual. time when 1
was at that age," he owned to himself
with forlorn.irony.
_ The young fellows went on to speak
f Mrs. Bowen, whom it seemed they
had knownthe winter before. She had
been very Polite to them; they praised
her as if she were quite an old woman.
"But . she must have been a very
• pretty girl," one of them put in.
" Well, she has a pod deal of style
yet."
i' 0.11 yes, but she never could have
been a beauty like the other one."
On henpart, Imogene was yery sober
when she met Mrs, Bowen, though she
had come in tingled and excited from
the air and the • morning's adventere.
• Mrs. Bowen was . sitting by the fire,
placidly reading, a vase Of roses on the
little table near her diffused the delicate
odor of winter roses through the room ;
all seemed -very still and dim, and of
another time, somehow.
Imogene kept away from the fire, sit-
ting down, in the provisional fashion of
women, with her things on ; but she un-
buttoned her pelisse and flung .it open.
Effie had gone to her room.'
"Did you have a pleasant drive?"
asked Mrs. Bowen.
"Very," said the girl.
"Mr. Morton brought yOu these
roses," continued Mine Bowen.
"Oh," said Imogene, with a cold
glance at them. ,
"The Flemmings have asked us to -a
party Thursday.; Thereis to be danc-
ing. ' .
"The Flemmings ?" •
"Yes." As if she new saw reason to
do so, Mrs. Bowen laid the book face
downward in her lap: She yawned a
Little, with her hand on ,her mouth.
"Did you meet any one you knew?"
" Yes ; Mr. Colville., ' Mrs. Bowen
cut her yewn in half: "We got out to
walk in the Caseine, and we saw him
coming in at the gate. • He -came up and
asked if he might walk with mee"
"Did you have a pleasantwalk ?"
asked Mrs. Bowen,. a breath more chill-
ily than she had asked if they had a
pleasant drive.
f' Yes, pleasant enough. And then
we came back and went down the river-
bank, and he skipped stones, and we
took him to hs hetet."
" Was ther anybody you knew in the
Caseine ?"
" Oh no; the piece was a howling
wilderness. I never saw it so deserted,"
• said the girl, impatiently. "It was ter-
ribly hot walking. lethought I should
burn up." • •
Mrs. Bowen did not answdr anything; .
she let the book lie in her laP.
"What ah odd person Mr. Colville
is !" said Imogene, after a moment.
" Don't you think he's very different
from other gentlemen ?"
" Why ?" • - .
" Oh, he has such a peculier way of
talking." ' .
" What peculiar way ?" .
".0h, I don't know. Plenty of the
young Inert I see talk cynically, and I do
sometimes myself—desperately, don't
you know. Blit then I know very well
we don't naean anything by it." .
• s"And do yeti think Mr. Colville does?
Do you think he talks cynically?" e
Imogene leaned back in her chair and
reflected. "No," she returned, slowly,
"1 can't say that he doe. But he
talks lightly, with a kind of touch and
go that makes you feel that he has ex-
ha.usted all feeling. He doesn't parade
it at all. But you hear between the
words, don't you know, just as you read
between the lines in some kinds of
poetry. • Of course it's everything in
knowing what he's been through. He's
perfectly Unaffected ; and. don't yoa
think he's good ?" .
"Oh yes," sighed Mrs'. liewen.. "In
his way." '
"But he sees through you. Oh,
quite ! Nothing escapes him, and
pretty soon he lets outthat he has seen
through you, and then -you feel so flat!
Oh, it's perfectly intoxicating to be with
him. I would give the world toOalk as
he does." . . .
•
• .
" Whet was your falk all about ?"
"Oh, I doll know. I suppose it
would have been called rather intellee-
tual." • ,• -
• Mrs. Bowen smiled infinitesimally.
But after a moment she said, gravely:.
"Mr. Colville is very much •older than
you.. He's . old enough :to be your
father."
,‘" Yes, I know that. Yoirfeel that he
feels old, and it's perfectly- tragical:.
-Sometimes when he turns that slow,
dull, melaneholy look on you, he seems a
thousand years old."
"1 dou't mean that he's positively
old," said Mrs. Bowen. "He's onlyold
comparatively."
• "Oh yes; I understand that. And: I
don't mean thathe really seems a thous-
and years old. What I meant was, he
seems a thousand years off, as if he were
still young, and had got left behind
somehow. He seems to he on the other
side of, seine impassable .barrier, and
you want Ito get over there and help him
to our side, but you can't do it. I sup,
pose his 'talking in that light way is
merely a subterfuge to hide his; feeling,
to make him forget."
Mr. Bowen fingered the etigL of her
book. " You musn't let -your fancy run
away with you, Imogene," she said,
with a, little painful smile.
"Oh, I like to let it run away with
me. And When I get mole a subject as
Mr. Colville, there's no stopping. • I
can't stop, and I don't wish to stop.
Shouldn't you have , thought that he
would have been perfectly crushed it
. •
•
e exhibition ie made of himself in the
Lancers last night? He ,wahn't the
least embarras cd when he met mo, and
the only allusi n he made to it was to
say that he ha been up late, and had
danced too ra ch. Wasn't it wonder-
ful he -could do it? Oh, if 1 emild do
that !"
• " with he cosuir have avoided the
occasion for his ravado " said Mrs.
Been.
. "1 think I was.a, little to blame, pen.
.haps," said the girl. ' "1 beckoned hiM
to come and take the vacant place."
"I don't see that that was an excuse,"
returned Mrs. Bowen, prirnly
Imogene, seemed insensible to the
tone, as it concerned herself; it only
apparently reminded her of • something.
"Guess what Mr. Colvi11e said, when
had been sillY; and then tried to mak
up for it by being very dignified all of
sudden ?
"1 don't know. How had you beei
silly?" •
The servant broil ht in some cards
Imogene caught up he pelisse which sh
had been gradtially shedding as she sa
'talking to Mrs. Bos en, and ran out o
the room by anothe • door.- •
They did not r cur to the subject:
But that night,. n Mrs. Bowen went
to say good -night te Effie, after the child
had gone to bed, sh lingered.
"Effie," she said at -last, in a -husky
whisper, "what di Imogene say to Mr.
Colville to -day that made ' him laugh ?"
I don't kribir," id the child. "They
'kept laughing at so many things."
" Laughin ?"
Yes ; he. aeghe Do you mean to-
ward the last he he had heen throw-
ing stones int he ver ?"
"It must have be n then."
The child stretch d herself drowsily
" Oh, I couldn't un erstand itall. She
wanted to throw a seae in the river,
but he told. her she uol better not. but
that didn't make h m laugh. She was
so very stiff just af -rward that he said
the weather had ch nged, and that made
us laugh."
" Was that all ?"
"We kept ladighi a ever so long. I
never saw any, on Ike Mr. •Colville.
How queerly1 the re shines on your
face! It gives you .ueh a beautiful com-
plexion."
"Does it?"
" Yes, .levely.." The child's mother
stopped over and ki sed her. " You're
the .prettiest niarnnii. in the world," she
said, throwing her arms round her neck.
" Son-retimes Fcan't tell whether Imo-
gene is prettier br not, but to -night Poi
certain you are. Do 'you like to have
me think that ?"
Yes, yes. And don't pull me down
S0 ; you hurt mfr neck. Good -night."
The childlet her o. haven't said
my prayer yet, Mamma. I was think-
ing."
" Well say it now, then," taid the
mother, gently.,
When the dhild had finished she
turned upon her cheek. Good -night,
mamma. •
Mrs. Bowen strent about the room a
little -while, picking up its pretty dis-
order. Then she sat down in a chair by
the hearth, where a log was still burn-
ing. The light of the flame flickered
upon her face, an 1 threw upon the
ceiling a writhing, -fantastic shadoW,
the odious ceoicature of her gentle
beauty.

REV. MR. STURGEOt 'S WIFE, HER wrier
AND ITS FULFILMENT.
"During an illne s of Mrs. Spurgeom
before Mr. Spuraeo I left her room fin'
the journey he was contemplating, she
remarked that she sQped he would not
be annoyed with ler for telling him
what had been p ssing through 'bee
mind. • She made h in, however, prone-
ise that he would not procure the ob-
jects for whic.h she had been longing.
She then told him s le had been wishing
for a pipingsbullfine and an onyx ring. pf
course Mr. Spurge() I expressed his wil-
lingness to get both, but she held him to
• his promise. He h d to make a sick
call on his way to t le station as well Us
hall at the Tabern I cle. Shortly after
reaching the sick 1 erson's -house, the
mother of the Ipatiel t, to his amusement
asked Mr. Spt rgeo if Mrs. S. would
like a piping- sullth ch; that they had
• one, but thet its m sic was trying to
the invalid, aild the would gladly part
• with it to one who A mild give it the re-
quisite care. He t en made his call at
•the Tabernae e, a id after reading a
voluminous co resp ndence, came at last
We, letter and pa eel underlying the
other letters. The letter was from a
lady unknown to hi n, who had received
'benefit from his ser s ices in the Taber-
nacle, and as i, ' slig t token of her ap-
preciation of these services asked his
acceptance of the nelosed onyx ring,
j
necklet and biacele s, for which she had
no fur her use , Th s intensified his sur-
prise, and he hastened hone with what
had been so stiange y sent, went up into
his wife's -sick room and placed the ob-
jeets she had lon ed for before her.
She met him with a Idok of pained re-
proach, as if he had allowed his regard
to override his pro nise, but when he
detailed the true c rcumstances of the
case, she was filled with surpr:se, and
asked Mr. Spurges) what he thought of
it? His reply was, characteristic: "1
think you are on of your heavenly
Father's spoiled chi dren, and He just
gives you whatever you ask for."
—A few days ag Dr. McKechnie, of
Thorndale pt in a resh supply of vac-
cine' points, and soi le of them happened
to be exposed to view on his counter.
A burly farmer fro 1 that neighborhood
was in at the time and amused. himself
by using one of ' be points as a tooth-
pick, pricking his g- uns in the operation.
It " took " in the 11 ost approved style,
and the man is no w in _possession of a
mouth that is en wding all the other
features of hisface out of -shape. .
—St. Thomas Thies has this: Some
weeks ago Mrs. Louis N. Stilwell, wife
of the man who wa shot by a cowardly
.assassin in his, fathir's woods in Bayham
on New Year's Da, has giveil birth to a
child since her rele se from jail, where
she was confined ending her trial for
complicity in the murder. The child
b -ears a peculiar bi thmark, a couple of
apertures in its earl indicating the
points of ingress an egress of the bullet,
which killed its Tat ler.
—A• prize fight for $200 a side took
place a few night ago at Ottawa, be-
tiveen Cash, of Montreal, and Broome, of
BirmingharreEngla d. After five rounds
had been fought, in which both men
were pretty well pu ished,Broome being
unable to come to t me, the referee de-
clared Cash the 1 inner. It is strange
how some men w 4 persist in making
