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.

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 pretty. as well as a wealthy wife, Mr, Warring is handsome, or rather he will develop into a handsome man.

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 -said she was glad he was not encum- 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.

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. - - - . THE PRESIDENT A SLAVE TO CA- TARRH. -D. T.
