CHAPTER I.
The "up" train was expected mom-
entarily at the little junction at Gales -
ford, from whence a line branched off to
some villages and the county town.
A couple of commercial travellers,
whose large, neatly strapped cases were
piled on a hand -truck, stood at one end
of the platform, in conversation of an
amusing description, for they laughed
loud and frequently.
A gentleman, covered from head to
foot in a large dark ulster, walked to
and fro, smoking a cigar, and peering
sharply into the thick mist which hid
the line up to a, few yards beyond the
station.
The loose wrap he wore did not con-
eeal his air of distinction. The eyes that
watched so eagerly for the train, were
light steely blue, his toloring was sun -
Mulled brown, somewhat too dark for
his hair and moustache.
"Five minutes behind time," he said,
glancing at the clock over the door of
the booking office, and. addressing one
of the two porters who were waiting
ibout.
'It often is, sir. You see they have
often to wait at Brenton for the Alton -
borough passengers. It's express after
after this."
"Look after my luggage. It is in the
waiting room. 1Sfy name is on it -Cap-
tain Lisle -I'll be back by six -twenty,
and will not forget you."
"Thank ye, sir. I'll take care of it
right enough."
"Two -fifteen, and here it comes," ex-
claimed Captain Lisle, throwing away
his cigar as the engine rushed screaming
out of the dim distance, and. approaching
the edge of the platform he peered sharp-
ly into the caniages.
In a first class compartment a young
lady sat alone. Lisle proceeded to open
the door..
'Beg pardon, sir,' said the urbane
guard. "This is a ladies' carriage -
there'a plenty of room in the next."
"All right. I know the lady; she
will permit me to travel a few miles in
her company. Will you not ?" raising
his deerstalker's cap.
"Oh, Captain Lisle," she exclaimed,
with a. swift blush. "Yes, a course."
"Don't cram in any women or babies,"
said Lisle aside quickly to the guard,
pressing some coin of the realm into his
hand.
"All right sir," significantly, "Jump
be,
A shrill whistle and they were off.
"I hope you will forgive ray intru-
sion. But as I bad no chance of seeing
you after that telegram came. I thought
I would try to say good-bye en route."
He unfaetened his ulster and removed
his cap, showing a close crop of crisp
brown hair, and a rather good. looking,
resolute face. His teen eyes grew softer
as they dwelt on his companion. She was
worth looking at. Her height even as
she sat reclining in the corner of the
carriage, was eveidently abOve the aver-
age; the eyes with which she regarded
him were very deep grey -large, liquid
and at the moment pathetic, almost
solemn; her eyebrows were many shades
darker than her hair, which admirers
called golden, and detractors red, both
having a fair shaw of reason for their
[minions. In deed, the contrast between
her sunny locks and her nearly black
brows and eyelashes, generally struck
those who met her for the first time.
Her complexion was of the purely fair
deeeription which goes with hair of her
color -and when in repose there was a
haughty, refined _expression about her
mouth, which though finely formed, was
not small. Her travelling dress of dark
green cloth, simple and compact, and a
velvet het of the same color, with a
small plume of black-coek's feathers,
wee most becoming. As Captain Lisle
spoke, a. quiet smile parted her lips, and
she said gently,
"I have nothing to forgive. You are

f shame and despair which rent her soul,.
She had indeed "grown fond" of Lisle,
after months of frequent intercourse,
during which he had sought her with so
much carefully veiled assiduity -and won
her confidence by a happy assumption
of elder brotherly authority, flecked with
gleams of passionate admiration, which
seemed to flash out in spite of himself
and were real enough. He had roused
her interest, and flatterea her youthful
vanity -for St. John Lisle was a man of
good position, a favorite with fine ladies,
a smart cavalry officer, of whose suc-
cess in life no one had a doubt. To feel
that she, a simple debutante, exercised
an influence and attraction on such a
man -was infinitely exhilarating. Lisle
had been the chum and favorite brother
officer of Mrs. Newburgh's favorite ne-
phew' and this was an excuse for an un-
usualdegree of intimacy -which had in-
creased as time rolled on, and reached a
dangerous pitch during their stay at
Lady Mary Everard's, the last blissful
days enjoyed by Mona. Captain Lisle
had begun to fear that he was going to
far, and was annoyed with himself for
bie reluctance to draw back, when the
news of Mrs. 'Newburgh's misfortunes --
the confeseion of young eVaring, came to
relieve Lim front the gathering diffieul-
ties of his situation. Now, a kind. of
lurid light from the burningof Mona'a
indignant beint seemed to bring out the
bitter truth with stinging distinctness.
She eeertied to Le present at that inter-
view between Lisle and. Leslie Waring.
aftesio/
"I fear you will not! Everard spoke
openly to me, knowing the interest I
take in you, of whielt I hope you too are
aware.'
"We have always been very good.
friends," she said, shyly, with quivering
lips.
"Yes, and for that friendship'sake I
am about to break my usual habit of not
interfering with what does not absolute-
ly concern me -to risk the snubbing you
are quite capable of administering."
He paused, and gazed for a moment at
the delicate, downcast face oposite to
him, his brows contracting in a sudden
frown.
"Why should I snub you?" she asked,
without looking up.
"Wait till I have finished. Will you
believe me when I say that I was as
sleepless as yourself last night? My
fancy -no, I am not an imaginative man
--my experience, depicted o.11 the hard-
ships of your lot; for I have known diffi-
eulties-money difficulties; poverty, too,
is a hundred -fold worse for a woman, a
proud, delicately nurtured woman, like
yourself; and for you there is no escape,
such as a man can find in a good ap-
pointment -1 hope for one myself in In-
dia before many weeks are over."
"But women can work, too," she said,
wonderingly. "Why do you try to
frighten me?"
"Because I want you to seize the only
way of eseape that offers."
"Escape? How?"
"Hear me out! I am going to rush in
--probably like a fool -where angels
might hesitate to tread; but I know
what life is, and I must open your eyes.
After Everarcl had told me all he knew,
I went to my room, and Waring, who
had been dozing over an evening paper
"Was he a. confidant of our troubles,
too?" she interrupted, with a slight curl
of the lip.
"He was -that need not affect you.
Waring followed, and asked for a few
words with me. You know what a shy,
awkward fellow he is. Well, I was am-
azed at his clearness and fluency -pray
hear me out. He said he e,ame to consult
simple enough. My uncle, General For-
rester, has promised mo an appointment
on his staff. It may keep me in Indie
the best part of my life; but 1 shall
have leave of absence from time to time,
and. so keep in touch with eivilization."
"That e4.11 be. delightful 1 .And you
really have known commonplace money
troubles like other people 2"
"Yes; .tery decidedly, yes."
He was feeling curiously displaced
from his position of superior firmness
and worldly knowledge. The unexpected
aeeptanee of his suggestion by this fair
gentle ereature, who was barely nine-
teen, threw nine off his balance,
"Then I hope they are over forever,"
she remarked, in a kindly tone, "You
must pick up a Begun). in India. Yet,
nol sltould not like to be les e bounti-
ful than you are. I will give you a

"I did not choose at all. 1 simply did
my best to advise you not to throw a

do not quite understand you, Mona."
She raised it warning finger playfully.
"As 1 ant not, according to you, to
keep my name much longer, pray let me
hear it always. It is far prettier than
Waring -Miss Joscelyn, if you please."
She had grown quite animated; a faint
color replaced her extreme pallor; ber
large eyes sparkled; she dominated the
conversation. Captain Lisle watched her
closely; her manner was quite natural,
while Ms lost the curt decision which
characterized it itt first. She question-
ed him as to how many horses Waring
could keep, as to where they should live

bered with landed estates, as she would.
like to ramble about, and much more to
the same effect, half in jest. At length
he looked at his watch.
"In ten minutes I must say good-bye,"
he said. "I get out at the next station,
and wait for the four -fifty train to
Galesford."
"What a long, tiresome' wait. You
really have sacrificed yourself to friend-
ship."
"I have," he returned, emphatically.
"I wonder if you exactly appreciate the
sacrifice."
"I do indeed."
"May I not call and learn from your
own lips how you are going on ?"
"You see it is a little uncertain where
you may find us. I fear they do not al-
low visitors at '
_ the work -house which
may be our destination, if Mr. Waring
has not the goodness to charge himself
with our support."
"It is too bad that these svealthy new
men get the pick of everything! Ahl
here we are. Do you know it is awfully
hard to say good-bye; I really feel a
little murderous toward Waring."
"Beware! I have taken him under my
protection."
"It is not good-bye, however; I will
see you in ten days or a fortnight. Tili.
then, addiol"
He pressed her hand close, she with-
drew it in fierce haste; the next moment
he was standing on the platform, yet an-
other, and the train was again in mo-
tion. Miss Clifford kissed her hand with
a saucy smile as she passed out of eight.
The only other passenger who alighted
gave up his ticket, and.Lisle was left to
pace the damp gravel, and think over the
conversation he had just held.
"I am well out of it," was his first
thought; "but she took my advice rather
differently from what I expected. I fan-

ORIGIN OF NEW YEAR CALLS.
Strangely Enough, the Custom Began in
China.
The custom of making New Year's
calls, which had m long run in America
and is still extant, came originally from
China, where, says Leslie's Weekly, such
callare one of the main features of the
brilliant and lengthy New Year's cele-
bration. Every Chinaman pays it visit
to each of his superiors and receives one
from each of his inferiors. Images of
gods are carried in procession to the
beating of a deafening gong, and manda-
rins go by hundreds to the Emperor and
that apparently much -maligned sover-
eign, the Dowager Empress, with con-
gratulatory addresses. Their robes are
gorgeously embibidered and are heavy
\vlth gold. The younger people call upon
the elder. Children call upon their par-
ents, pupils pay their respects to their
teachers. A light collation is offered
every visitor, but, it is to be noted, no
1 wine is served. Tea takes the place of
any stronger drink.
In China gentlemen never call upon
ithe ladies, but upon each other, and the
women also make social visits among
themselves. Nor is one obliged, happily,
to make all his calls on one day, for all
calls made before the 15th of the monrh
are considered correct. These calling
customs have obtained in. China from
earliest ages.

When you go for a bong tramp do not
bother to take a lunch with you. Just put
half a dozen lumps of sugar in your pocket
andeat them whon you get tired and hun-
gry. You will at once Una your strength and
freshness renewed. This to what Dr. Lee,
prefessor of physiology at Columbia uni-
versity, and author of several important
works on the vital processes of life, firmly
asserts. Fatigue, according to Professor Lee,
Is the result of certain chemical changes in
the body. due to muscular exertion. Sugar,
taken Internally, arrests and prevents these
changes. The sugar, to be specific, replen-
ishes tlue. carbohydrates that are wasted by
exertion and causes the fatigue due to this

that as a result of his sickness he had giv-
en birth to a twelve -pound boy. As a mat-
ter of fact that boy belonged over In tile
borne of Samuel Cox.
In the item relating to the birth of Mr.
And Mrs. Cox's twelve -pound boy Tho Tri-
bune said it happened "while the whistle
blew." Now, of course, it is possible Gist
a whistle was blowing at •the thne, but we
doubt it. That line referring to the whistle
blowing should have bean under the item
about Riley earring the dynamite,
nts Tribune sincerely regrets the blunder.

A Mortifying Moment.
Every time we think of false teeth we are
reminded of old Father Whitliug, Baptist
preacher at Council Grove. He was preaching
one night when he abruptly turned his face
in the direction of the choir and sneezed. He
sneezed awfully hard and then looked wist-
fully in the direction of the choir. His false
teeth were lying under the organ stool. None
et the singers were gallant enough to return
the ghastly things, and Brother Whiting wal
compelled to go after them. It was a mortis
fying moment for the geed old man.
