She knew, as though she had heard the
words, that Waxeng—having noticed. the
understanding between her and the man
wleS was all but her avowed lover, had
asked him if they were engaged—if it
would be interfering with his (Lisle's)
rights were he to offer himself to her in
this crisis of her fortune. Lisle had, no
doubt, disclaimed all wish to make her
his wife,andcoolly given his approval to
Waring's' pretensions. More, he had not
hesitated to recommend his'rivall What
a reverse to the picture her fancy had
hitherto presented, of Lisle vainly strug-
gling against his love for her—hesitat-
mg lest her relatives or herself should
not thing him a sufficiently good ruatch
for her—of his ecstasy when the time
came, and she permitted him to see how
dear he had grown. Now beholdi the
time of trial came, and he was eager to
band her over to another. How could
she have been so blind—so deluded? Her
rage was more against herself than
against him. Her long slender fingers
clutched the arms of the seat with fever-
ish force, in her agony and self-contempt.
How could she have been so weak, so
conceited. as to suppose that she had
become all in all to such a man as St.
John Lisle? Yet, yet he did admire and
iseerk her! A hundred instances crowded
on her memory which might well have
misled her; important trifles wbich could
not have occurred had he not loved her
at the time. If he had, why did he
change so suddenly? What had she done
to forfeit the tenderness of which she
was so sure? No! She was not all self -
deceived. He was false, fickle, cruel—lie
might be less hard upon herself! Then
she questioned the prudence of her own
action on hearing Ms astounding pro-
posal. Was it well to have played the
rt she did, in affecting to entertain
t? Would it have been wiser and more
dlgn&fiedto have rebuked him for his
interferenee, and refused to listen to his
pleading? For the present, every desire
was merged in her passionate wish to
bide her wounds,. and make Lisle believe
*he was as strong, as worldly and. as
indifferent as himself—that his conduct
did not cost her a pang. What a lesson
he had taught her of her own insignifo
canoe, of the delusion she had trusted.
As to poor Waring, she bestowed small
consideration on his honest affecnion for
her. Of all the house party at Horrow-
by Chase, she had taken least notice of
bim. Their previous intercourse had con-
sisted of a few meetings at evening
parties, where he had perseveringly asked
her to dance, and she had as persever-
ingly endeavored to evade him. Of tbis
he was unaware, as her manners were
softly gracious, and she hated. to give
pain.
Now this ungraceful, shy, inarticulate
young man was thrust upon her by
Lisle who had so often turned him into
ridicule. Anything was good enough for
& girl who was penniless and almost un-
protected! It would go hard with her,
she thought, while her cheeks glowed,
and her heart beat fast— very hard,
before she would consent to marry him.
It was almost impossible be should de-
tinguished, self-reliane, strong. always
seemed so ill at ease in her presence.
She wished him a better fate! Then
the vision of Lisle rose before her, dis-
t 'shed ,self-reliant, strong, always
ready to say the right thing—a man
with wbom the highest dared not take
a liberty, and his voice vibrated again
on the chords of memory, his eye& looked
into hers. Nal she had not deceived
herself—there had been moments -when
St. John Lisle had loved her passion-
ately, and they had gone by forever.
Grannie might regain her Tittle fortune,
wealth might pour in upon them, but
nothing could ever be to her what it
had been. Between the present and the
past a great gulf yawned—which noth-
ing could fill up. And poor grannie!
Mona's "heart reproaelled her for having
utterly forgotten grannie, who had been
so stunned by the terrible loss which
had befallen her. How her proud, -world-
ly, yet sound nature would wither unded
the disgraces of poverty. Grannie who
loved her so well, even while she tyran-
nized over ber—ehe had often been re-
bellious' selfish, now she 'would try and
comfortthe poor old woman. She had
built such hopes too on Mona's succese,
now everything was crumbled to the
dust. The blank dreariness of the future
appalled her. How could she live on—
and if grannie succumbed to this attack,
what was to bee.ome of her? At the
thought of her isolation of all the bene•
fits she had received from ber aged pro-
tectress, her grief and agitation found
vent in a flood of tears, which lasted
for many smiles, yet brought relief and
the calmness of exhaustion.
The Hon. Mrs. Newburgh, sister of
the late and aunt of the prement Vis-
count Sunderline, had had much disap-
po:ntment in her long life. Beginning
with all the advantages of rank and
beauty, she refueed numerous excellent
offers—to accept, at the mature age of
thirty-fivethe good-looking horsey son
of a Yorkshire squire. Ire loved her, but
he also feared her—which eondition of
mind led to Muni concealment of dif-
ficulties, and their consequent complican
tion, Mrs. Newburgh was a woman or
etrong will, with some business capaeity,
and she always beld on firmly to her
own email fortune. Iter only eon went
into the army, and was killed at Mer-
man. Her only daughter. who resem-
bled ber father in diameter, formed a
etrong attaeliment for an obscure young
NeeteMen, extolls she met accidentally
in the Iligillands, under somewhat ro•
mottle circumstance. Mrs. Newburgh

turned to London, and once more took
her place in society.
The announcement of her daughter's
death made little or no change in her
way of life; she made no attempt to
communicate with the bereaved husband,
and seemed to forget she ever had a
daughter. About five years later she
was startled by a letter from the minis-
ter of a church in the neighborhood of
Glasgow, describing the last moments of
Kenneth Craig, who had been a broken
man ever since the deathsof his wife, and
inelosing a brief fetter to Mrs. New-
burgh from the deceased. In it he simply
said. that the pay of a bank clerk had
been too small to permit him to lay any-
thing by for his little girl, that his own
people were poor, that be trusted her
mother's mother would so far forgive as
not to punish the innocent, and begged
her to give the child sufficient education
to earn her bread hereafter. She was
named, he said, Mona Joseclyn, after her
mother and her uncle.
Mrs. Newburgh answered this appeal
by sending for the little bright-eyed six -
yearling, and placing her at a school
specially arranged for children whose
parents were either dead or absent. It
was in the country, and kept by a quiet,
motherly old maid. For some time her
grandmother never saw Mona, but one
spring, when the child bad nearly attain-
ed her tenth yeor, scarlet fever broke
out in the school, rend little Mona was
sent off without a word of warning to
Mrs. .nleeeburgh, who had been spending
a few months in town, and was packed
up and ready to start for the continent.
Though dreadfully annoyed by the eon-
tretemps, Mrs. Newburgh was struck '
and pleased with the improvement and
promise of her granddaughter, especially
as she was very like her lets uncle, her
reddish hair being a legacy from the
olebeinn Crams. Finally she took her .
abroad, and placed her first. at a convent
school in Paris, and. atter ha an educe. -
tonal establishment of a very superior
description in Dresden. Here Mrs. New-
burgh occasionally visited her, and she •
remained till she was seventeen, when I
she went to reside with her grandmother '
in London; she continued to study music
under the best masters, and was always '
present when Mrs. Newburgh received. i
The spring before the opening of this
story she had been presenetd, her grand-
inother was well satisfied with her soeial
success, and hoped for a brilliant mar-
riage, when the blow fen which ruined
all.
It was quite dark when Mona reached
St. Pancras; she was utterly weary, and
profoundly still.
As a porter threw open the carriage j
door, a respectable foreign -looking man, '
somewhat tan -colored in complexion, and
pear-shaped in figure, growing small to
the feet and spreading out roundly ,
above put him aside. Raising Ms hat,
i '
he said n German:
"Welcome, my fraulein. I hope you'
are not fatigued."
"Yes, a little, Wehner. Flow is my I
grandmother?"
"Better, my fraulein, but weak. eh,
very weak! She is looking anxiously for
you. If you get into the cab, I vili find
your baggage.'
CHAPTER II.
Mona employed the interval passed in
the darknesa and solitude of the cab
which conveyed her home in a resolute ,
effort to regain her self-possession. She
dreaded to meet grannie's keen, observ-
ant eyes; she dreaded, too, the mood ;
which her severe losses would most prob-
ably have induced. Mrs. Newburgh,
though generally keeping herself well in ,
hand, had her tempers, and Mona became '
a favorite chiefly because she was not
frightened by them. She was far from
realizing as yet the total loss which had
befallen.
The door was opened by Mrs. New -
burgh's maid, a very important person,
with whom Mona. had not infrequent dif-
ferences of opinion. Her face was ex-
pressive of ill -temper and disgust.
"Mre. Newburgh has been worriting
herself and everyone else because sin
fancies you are late, miss," was her sal-
utation.
"I do not think I am, Hooper."
"I dare say not. only you see she is
all wrong about time—a minute or an
hour, it's all one to her. I never thought
you would see her alive. After she read
about that cruel, deceitful, swindling
company in the paper, she sent off Mr.
Wehner for Mr. Macquibble. After they
had talked a bit, the bell rang sharp;
I was called, and. there was Mrs. New-
burgh in a dead faint. I thought she
would never come to, We called the doc-
tor and put her to bed, but she bad
three more faints before night. Then
we telegraphed for you, miss. Nothing
would. keep her in bed this afternoon --
she got up and dressed."
'Poor, dear grannie! I will go to her
at, once!"
"Won't you halm a cup of tea first,
miss? You are looking drea.dfal bad."
"No, thable you, Hooper."
She went quickly iipstaire to her
grandmother's room, and, lensing paused
for a seeond at the door, went in softly.
Mrs. Neoburgli sat at a writing table
covered with letters, papers, aveounte
and cheque boons—tome notes and gold
at Ion right hand. She was wrapped in
a morning gown of dark red eaelimere,
and Iter gray hair was neatly arranged
under her lace cap; but Mona was start-
led by the ghastliness of her time. Mrs.
Newburgh had borne the wear and tear
of time well, ami, having accepted her

pearance, (lid not leek her neventy-six

The old lady clasped her almost eon-
vulsively.
"I thought you would never come,"
she whispered, brokenly. "Do you know
that everything is gone?—everything.
We can not stay here. This is the last
money I can call my own" --and she
freed one hand to clutch the gold notes.
"I don't seem able to understand the
figures or anything. You will not leave
me, Mona. Hooper is so cross that" —
gathering force by a supreme effort, and
speaking with something of her natural
ileeision--"I should in any case dismiss
her; for me all is over. I an too old
to struggle any longer. I have fought a
brave fight, but fate is against me.
Mona my child, can you for.give no for
losing the little fortune I Intended for
you. Somebody told me I ought to draw
out of that company—I forget who—I
forget all names; hut I thought I might
wait a little longer, the interest was
so high, and I bave beggared you. Can
you forgive me?"
"Forgive you," cried Mona, sinking
on her knees and clasping her Immo
round her trembling grandmother. "What
have I to forgive? Rather let me pray
your forgiveness for my want of obedi-
ence and submissiveness. Where should
I be but for you? I owe you everything.
Send away Hooper—I will be your
maid, your nurse, your servant—any-
thing that can help or comfort you."
"Foolish, hasty child," murmured Mrs.
Newburgh, laying her hand tenderly on
the young head pressed against her, "I
believe you love Inc a little."
And the poor, death lit face brighten-
ed for a moment, as the skeptical, world
hardened woman caught a breath of the
divine consolation human love alone
can give, and which all the kingdoms of
this world, and the. glory of them eitel
not replace.
"I do love you, dear. I will do what-
ever you wish; and do not be so cast
down—something will be arranged for
us. We can go away and live in the coun-
try, then we shall not want expensive
dresses,and—"
"You little know—you little know,"
murmured Mrs. Newburgh. 'Thank God,.
I have few debts. I thing I have paid
every one—intending to go abroad for
some months. This has been an expen-
sive year, and there was no time for you
to make a good alliance. No time— no
time."
"But grannie dear, you do not know
what prince in disguise I may capti-
vate," said Mona, rising and drawing a
chair beside her. "Penniless girls marry
often."
She would have said anything to cheer
her.
"Ah, but no jewel looks well if it is
not well set. Men may not want money
with their brides, but they are almost
always repulsed by mean surroundings.
I see no hope anywhere. None—none.
There was a long pause. Then Mrs.
Newburgh began with an effort to ex-
plain how matters stood. It was pitiable
to hear how she lost the thread of her
narative and struggle to regain it — how
she called people by wrong names, and
repeated herself over and over again—
insisted on having the money counted
out before her, and strove to separate
it into different portions. At last she
perceived her own inability to convey
her meaning, and leaned suddenly back
in her chair.
"Everything fades from me," she said;
"yet I am not an Imbecile."
"No, no, dearest grannie. This confu-
sion is only from physical weakness. Do
not try yourself any more I will write
to Mr. Oakley—to your solicipar—to
come here to -morrow; he will put things
in order, and tell me what we ought to
do. Let me lock up all these papers and
the money, and give you some dinner or
tea or something. Thinking will do us no
good. To -night I will tell you all about
Lady Mary and my visit, then I will sit
by you till you are asleep. Hooper shall
put the chair bed beside yours. I shall
sleep here to -night."
"Ia would be best," murmured Mrs.
Newburgh, gladly resigning herself to
her granddaughter's guidance. " I do not
want much; but for you—ah, Mona! it
is hard. You must pay Hooper and send
her away, and Wehner too; eve want no
men -servants now."
* * • * * *
The explanations of Mrs. Newburgh's
trusty solicitor were indeed a revelation
to Mona. The mysteries of the stock
market were unfolded to her wondering
gaze; and she learned that besides the
considerable sum absolutely paid on
the purchase of shares, there was a ter-
rible liability in the shape of "calls" to
the full value of these shares; and as a
banking business was connected with the
gold mine association, Mrs. Newburghn
whole property was subject to the de-
mands of depositors, and that she could
not call a farthing her own.
The house in Green street having been
bought by her, Mr. Oakley advised Mrs.
'Newburgh remaining in it till obliged to,
turn out, as she was rent free. He was
most useful in paying and dismissing the
servants. The German major-domo, who
had. been for many years with Mrs. New-
burgh, begged to be allowed to remain
till his mistress left—without wages; it
was, he said, a bad season to find an-
other engagement, and he thought he
could be useful to the ladies, even while
ticking out for a situation, and so he
proved himself.
While these changes were going on,
Mona was profoundly anxious about her
grandmother. At times she was keen,
eager, fully alive to what was going on;
then a cloud would gather over ber poorn
brain, and things seemed to slip from
her. She could not bear Mona out of her .
sight, and was reluctant to let any other
relatives approach her. When urged by,
Oakley to acquaint her nephew, Lord
Sunderline, with the state of her affairs,
she asked sharply what good that would
doe
"He has little enough for himself, and
never forgove me for adopting Mona.'
"But, my dear madam, some steps
innst be taken to provide for the future."
"I wish nature would provide for me,"
returned Mrs. Newburgh, with a deep
sigh; "I am a helpless incumbrance now."
"I am sure no one else thinks so," said
the solicitor, soothingly. "Is there not
some balance at your benkerni that you
nright place in—say Sir Robert Everard's
band, jut to secure some ready money?"
"I will see; I will look into my at-
counte, but for the present I am too tired
to dieellee anything further,"
* * 0 *
Mrs. Newburgh could not, however,
e( mplain of any want of interest 3n Inc
part of her numerous friends and ac-
quaintanees; she was overwhelmed with
letters of condolence, of inquiry, of the
neon impossible suggestions.
They were generally read aloud by her
grandhughter, or as much of them es
hlir would liihen to. Sometimes she
would it for hours deadly silent.

The Englishman's view of his govern-
ment is more rational than ours. lle
never expects it to work miracles. On
the other hand, he always expects it to
do its best. In America we neglect the
government entirely for long periods,
and, suddenly awakening to the fact
that no miracles have been performed
demand some immediately. It would be
rnuoh better if we would keep an eye on
the government all the time and by in-
stating on a little progress day by day
and year by year obtain our results as
,the Englishman does, by building up a
responsive system of government rather
than by depending upon occasional ebul-
litions of genius to pull down all that
is bad and rebuild all that is good in a

Postal Profit and Loss.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
According to the international post
bureau, taking all the post -offices of the
world, the United States shows the heavi-
est loss from • the management of its
postal affairs and Great Britain the
largest profits. Nineteen hundred and
three is the last year for which figures
for comparison are available, and for
that year we ran beind $4,320,000, while
Great Britain showed a net profit of
$22,000,000, and Russia., Germany and
France each about $14,000,000. Due to
the large and rapid increase of rural
delivery since 1003, our deficit has grown
to at least three times what it was then,
and there are other reasons for our un-
favorable showing, the principal ones
being the larger ..rompensation we pay
employees and the extensive areas we
have to cover which are thinly populated.

er of 'Thayer's laboratory in Cambridge,
wa son his way to his office one winter
morning in the early '60s, when the side-
walks were a glare on ice. While going
down Main street he linet a lady com-
ing in the opposite direction. The lady
was a stranger to him, although he was
not unknown to her.
In trying to avoid each other on the
icy pavement, they both slipped and
came to the sidewalk facing each other,
with their pedal extremities consider-
ably entangled. While the polite doctor
was debating in his mind what was the
proper thing to say or do under the cir-
cumstances, the problem was solved by
the quick-witted lady, who quietly re-
marked:

The Zebra.
It wears the stripes.
lts stripes are black and white.
It stands about 12 feet in height.
It is a stunningly handsome animal.
Its hoofs aro more slender than the
horse's.
Its mane is erect, naturally "hogged."
A switchy tuft of hair is at the end
of its tail.
In proportion to a horse its head is
larger, its ears longer.
It has callosities on its forelegs, while
a horse has them on all four.
The zebra is found in the billy coun-
try of Cape Colony, where it is protect-
ed from extermination.
At the Zoological Garden it thrives
i in gratifying fashion.
Sylvia is the belle of the Zoo's tribe
of zebra; she is "as fine as silk."
Peculiarly enough the zebra's stripes,
which seem to make it so conspicuous,
render it almost iirvisible by moonlight.
