For the winter they rested. at Dres-
den, where Uncle Sandy was both com-
fortable and hapyp in th society of a
Presbyterian minister of sound, views,
who taught air. Craig chess, a great re -
_source, if eometames a little irksome to
Mona.
It is remarkable how little change of
place stamps its impress on time. A vari-
ety of residences in no way lengthens or
shortiyrs the period passed in them. But
the contact with new characters, the as- .
sociation with individuals, who strike
the electric chain with which we are
darkly bound, these are true events
which make the years or months in
which they occur stand out in Blear re-
lief from the dead level of our lives—and
heart or mind history enters a new epoch
marked by the evolution of some germ of
action or thought which had lain inani-
mate, locked in the husk of unconscious-
ness, till the vivifying current from some
kindred yet more advanced soul struck
it and said, "Let there be light,"
Thus the months which followed their
departure from Contrexville passed not
unpleasantly, though in a dull routine.
Sometimes a wonderful picture, a strik-
ing dramatic performance, woke Mona to
rnental activity, or a pleasant, thought-
ful book gave her subject for reflection.
In general, the English society of such
places as Dresden is of the humdrum or-
der, not stimulating in any sense, unless
it be sprinkled with keen, original Airier -
leans. Still, the quiet and sense of se-
curi,ty, assisted her to recover serenity,
and face the future with steadiness, if
no longer with rainbow -tinted hope.
On Uncle Sandy, too, the effect of for-
eign travel was good. He had lived too
long in the narrow cell of self ever to be
thoroughly emancipated from its con-
tracting trammels, but a certain amount
of enlightenment he could not resist.
Nothing, however, touched his firm con-
viction that he was a man of wide infor-
mation and "soond" judgment„ Indeed,
any variation in his former views only t
suggested that his perception must be i
i
singularly quick and clear to enable him
thus to assimilate new mental food. He
spoke somewhat fess broadly at the end
than at the beginning of his continental
progress, and though still holdi u his l
"sitter" with a grip of iron, he began to
understand what things cost, and what i
must be paid for. To Mona he was com-
paratively generous. Still it required
some management to dress on the sum -
total of his occasional gifts.
To Mine. Debrisay the loss of her dear
companion was a real bereavement. She
was a brave, bright woman, who never
wasted time by sitting down to mourn
over the inevitable, and always "came
up smiling" from the buffets of fortune;
hut Iife seemed dull and worthless since
she was left to work for self alone. Af-
fection was the motive -power of her ex-
istence. She was always striving for
some; but since absintbe and cognac had
cut short the career of the late lament-
ed Debrisay, no one had ever belonged
to her completely, as Mona did for the
happy year and a half they had lived
and worked together.
The pleasant, well-mannered Franco -
Irishwoman was a Bohemian of most im-
perfect education, shrewd observation,
considerable skepticism, and great quick-
ness in perceiving and seizing any oppor-
tunities which might offer for pleasure
or profit. Yet no high-minded saint was
ever more ready to sacrifice herself fpr
those she loved—to fill up any danger-
ous gulf with all she held most precious,
that the one dear to her might pass over
safely. Thus her cultivation of Uncle
Sandy was a free-will offering to secure
Mona's future, her encouragement of his
wish to take his niece abroad a disinter-
ested renunciation of the greatest charm
her life had known since the illusions of
youth had fled.
Mona's letters were her greatest com-
fort. They were long and full; but the
reader's keen sympathy detected the un-
dertone of weariness arising from ungen-
ial association, and at times she doubted
if Mona was not paying too high a price
for uncertain advantages hereafter.
So autumn, winter and spring passel
by, and midsummer was close at hand.
Mine. Debrisay began to be anxious
for a letter. She had not heard from
Mona for more than a fortnight, and
the she said that her uncle's plans were
all unsettled, when•one warm evening, as
she was resting after a busy day, the
post brou,eht her the expected epistle. It
was dated from Paris.
"I have been sight seeing so constant-
ly," Mona wrote, "and Uncle Sandy has
been so undecided, that I could not write
to you before; and this will not bo wor-
thy the name of a letter; but I shall be
able to tell you all soon, for we start
'for London on the twenty-second, and
eny uncle wants you to find lodgings
for us as near you as possible, I need
not tell you they must be the most mod-
erate yea can find, We shall arrive at
Charing Cross, where Kenneth M calister
is to meet et us; and pray hav'S' dinner
or supper ready for the whole patty,
your dear self included, at seven or eight,
o'clock. How we shall talk. How delight-
ful it will be to see you agate."
Need it be said with what eager
joy Mme. Debrisay set about executing
the welcome commission. Ilow she re-
duced the rent first demanded, extin-
guished the gas eharge, put out tho kit-
chen fire, and Pooh-poohed boot -clean-
ing and "4:ruets," insisting that all
should be lumped together for a fixed
sum and added to the weekly rent.
"There's nothing vexes a stingy man
like inn array of extras, when lie has
mads up has mind to oue thing." she
thought. "Your ifioney hsali be paid
regularly, but never put an extra on
your bill—.not even an et eetera. Write
'one week's rent and attendance inelu-
eive,' with the rent wo have agreed to
opposite, Not another word, or the gen-
Oman, who is as rich as a deer, -`will
walk out of the house. lie, is very care-
ful of his mosey, but never keeps any
one waiting for it."
Thus to the listening landlady. who
wain glad enough to seeure a tenant, as
the heiteht of the season was past, and
Stealod and avetted tiny Mount of
care and attention.
It was a fine glowing evening when
Mune, Debrisay, in her prettiest cap,
awaited the arrival of the travelers,
having assisted to lay the table and
make the place look neat and pretty.
Of course those watched for were late,
or seemed to be; but at Iast a cab, lad-
en with luggage, drew up to the gate and
the next moment Mona was in her
friend's arms.
"Me detain' child; I have been that
lonely without you. And you are look-
ing right well, but terribly sunburned."
A hearty kiss and then she went to
greet Mr. Craig, who descended from the
cab with more alertness than she had
ever seen him show before.
"Delighted to see you looking quite
a new man, mydear Mr. Craig;' she
cried, a genuine look of pleasure dancing
in her bright, dark eyes, as she shook
hands with him heartily. "Welcome back,
after all these Iong months,"
"Thank ye, thank ye," he returned,
pleased with the warmth of her greet-
ing. "I'm not sorry to be back again. I
hope you are well?"
"Yes, quite well, I am an evergreen.
Mr. Macalister has been good enough
to come to cheer me up occasionally.
Very kind of him to trouble about an
old woman. Glad to see you. Go inside,
Mr. Craig, your nephew and I will set-
tle with the cabman."
"Na, nal I'll just pay him myself."
This done, Mme. Debrisay and mona
bad a. few precious moments to them-
selves, and then the party sat. down
to high tea, with the sense of enjoyment
arising from the mixture of familiarity
and complete change.
"How delicious the tea. is," cried Mona.
"That is one thing you rarely get
abroad."
"Eh! but it is good to get a bit of dry
toast again," said Uncle Sandy. "And
Kenneth, my mon, I am right glad to
see you.
"Thank you, sir. Im sure I have mis-
sed you and—andMiss Mona, here, sore-
ly: It was a pleasure to have a bit talk
with madame while you were away.'
"But Uncle. Kenneth is not looking at
all well. He is pale and thin. Have you
been ill, Kenneth."
"Ah, but I canna want you. 11 I had
my own way, I'd have you bathe al-
ways by me."
"Sell. I am sure that is not impos-
sible:" said Mona, thoutehtle=siy.
She had forgotten -her uncle's schemes,
it was so long since she had heard any-
thing about them.
"..diem. I am glad to bear it," he re-
turned, dryly.
Words which stirred Mona's memory',
She langlied nd blushed, glancing at
Kenneth with friendly comprehension.
His face grew longer and his eyes had
a. startled expression, which amused
Mona.
"Oh, nothing to speak out. Just a
cold, and a heaviness in my limbs."
"Er mon," said Uncle Sandy, with a
knowing smile, "it's grand to have a
braw lassie speerin' after your health."
"She was always ferry good to me,"
said Kenneth, uneasily.
Then as appetite was allayed, talk
flowed full and free.
"I think, uncle," said Mona, after a
good deal of description of the people
and places they had seen, "I think you
ought to take Kenneth with you to
Craigdarroeh. It would do him a. world
of good. And he knows all about land
and animals. He would be a better com-
panion than I could be."
But Uncle Sandy began to talk of go-
ing to bed, and asked his nephew to un-
strap his portmanteau for him; and as
his room adjoined the dining room which, return. But what I fear is that between
Mme. Debrisay had secured for their ae two stools you may fall to the ground,

It mem quite ten days after their re-
turn before Kenneth foluld an opportua•
ity of speaking with her alone. The only
means of eveurnig a tete-a-tete wes to go
out walking.
An unusually fine evening offered an
excuse, and Moue gladly accepted Ken-
netli's invitatwone -14irne, Debrisay offer-
ing to play chess with Uncle Sandy.
Now that we have got clear of the
house and people, 1 enuetb," began Mona,
as soon as they succeeded in finding a se-
cluded seat in Kensington Gardens, "tell
me what is troubling you, for I, see that
you aro troubled."
"Troubled? Yes, I should think so.
Indeed, i am not one bit more forward
than when we parted, and I doubt if I
shall get away this summer. Then Mr,
Meek is in worse health than ever; we
fear he will have to leave the school;
and here is my uncle hurrying me to
marry 3 ou or, rather, to ask you again."
"Well, ask nae again, Kenneth," said
Mona, sweetly, "and I'll give you the
same answer:'
"Eli, it will be hard to put him off
now," groaned Kenueth; "he is bent upon
it whatever."
"Still, you cannot marry me against
my will?"
No; but Uncle Sandy says you re-
fused a grand nobleman for my sake,
llfona?"
"No; for my own sake. He was a poor,
half-witted creature. Kenneth, we Must
put a stop to this! You must tell Uncle
Sandy that you have asked ine again,
and that I have refused you; tell him
you do not care to have anything to do
with a girl who is so averse to accept
you. If my uncle calls me to account,
I will settle the matter very quickly; I
am quite able to earn my bread, and I
only stay with Aim from a feeling of
duty and compassion. Let him break
with- me if he chooses. He might take
you to manage the farm, and then he
would not be lonely. I do not want to
interfere with your heirship, Kenneth.'
"Eh, but I am sure of that, Cousin
Mona! Nor would I rob you. Anyhow,
I'll speak as you advise. I am sorry to
vex the old nran, and I mean no offense
to you. If I had Trot known Mary I might
have grown fond of you. There is no
knowing."
"No, Kenneth—no knowing to what
you might have been reduced," she re-
turned, laughing good-humoredly at the
simple self-conceit which blinded him to
his total unfitness to be her husband.
Then the young Highlander indulged in
a long, discursive monologue respecting
his trials and troubles—ins unfitness
for his present occupation — his
longing for a free-air, out-czeor life.
It was late when they reached home, I
and found Uncle Sandy had retired to
bed with a bad headache, and, according
to Mme. Debrisay, a bad fit of sulks. as
he had lost the game—and to be beaten,
especially by a woman, was intolerable.
"Tour uncle desired me to say that he
wished to see you late or early to -mor-
row evening, Mr. Kenneth," she con -
eluded, "so try and come as early as'
you can."
"Very well." said Kenneth, looking as
though he did not like it
"Do you think to -morrow will be the
crucial test, Kenneth?" said Mona, an-'
severing the look.
"I feel as if it would be."
"Then do not fear. You will get
through, and it is better to have it out."
"Yes, but you have not so much at
stake as I have, Cousin Mona." •
"That is truer— but `faint heart never
won fair lady.'"
""And remember you have two bright
women to help you, Mr. Kenneth," add-
ed Mn:e Debrisay.
"You are ferry good, ferry," he said,
warmly. "And now I must bid you fare-
well. I am late as, it is, and I want to
write a long letter before I sleep."
"May I guess who to, Kenneth?"
"Ah, you know, I dare say."
"That poor fellow is overweighted.
with heart for the race of life," said
Mine. Debrisay, reflectively, when they
were alone. "It is about the worst sort
of weight a man can carry. It's and
to see how good fellows fail by hundreds,
while your hard, wiry, indifferent fox -
terrier -like men scramble over friend
and enemy alike to success, n'4 matter
how many they tread down in the pro-
cess. That boy is made for a pastoral
life, with a dash of the hunter's,. I am
sorry for him in Uncle Sandy's clutches."
"Yet Uncle Sandy tries to be just."
"May be so; but he never thinks of
other people's wants and wishes, only
of what he wants himself—and you see
one man's receipt for perfect bliss may
be needles and pins to hie neighbor."
"I Seel as if we should have a tug-
of-war to -morrow. I earnestly hope my
uncle will not break with Kenneth. I
am really much more independent, with
you at my back, dear Deb."

"And I to tell you, Ah, Deb 1 I wish

"AU, what, Deb?"
"Your refusing poor Mr. Waring, and

"Never mind, dear; you must tell me'

So Mona descended. Uncle Sandy was

The Queen Ant.
Dr. William Morton Wheeler shows in
the Popular Science Monthly that the
queen ant has not had justice done to
her by naturalists. As compared with
the famous queen bee, he regards her as
a far more admirable creature. In fact,
they aro, in many important respects,
diametrical oppositos. The queen bee is
a degenerate creature, unable to nourish
either herself or her young, to visit flow-
ers, to build combs or to store them with
honey. With the queen ant quite the re-
verse is true. She is "a perfect exemplar
and embodiment of her species," and the
worker ants suffer from incomplete and
retarded development. The queen ant is
a very industrious and intelligent work-
er, and Dr. Wheeler points out that she
forms an exceedingly interesting subject
for study, and has not hitherto been well
understood.

Something to Brag About.
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Brown were bos-

lot they knew about other people's bus-

The conversation turned in the di-

free to any mother her successful home
treatment, with full instructions. send
no money, but write her to -day if your
children trouble you in this way. Don't
blame the child; the chances are it
can't help it. This treatment also cures
adults and aged people troubled with
urine difficulties by night or day.

Welcome Awaits Edward.
The suggestion has been made that it would
be graceful and appropriate for King Edward
VII to make the Jamestown exposition the
occasion for paying a visit to the United
States. The suggestion is an excellent one
and 1t is to bo hoped that "the king and
emperor" may be pleased to act upon it.
He will receive a welcome here which will
convince him of the hospitality and good
will of the American people., Nearly fifty
years ago, when a youth, the king paid a
visit to Canada and the United States and
was everywhere welcomed with acclamations.
The king, then the Prince of Wales, visited
a large part o1 the United States. There is
not a city which he would recognize 1f he
were to comp here next year and go over
the route be took in 1860.

Give the Boy a Pup's Chance.
If a man has a $10 pup he would look after
it carefully and not let it run all over town,
but if he had a boy It would be different.
I•Ie is turned loose at a certain age and let
go to the devil. The people wonder where
the great army of tramps, loafers, dead beats
and sots come from in each decade. They
are germinated from the pure seed gathered
from our homes and sown broadcasts upon
our streets and alleys. It may be your Is
etarting in that direction. At all events the
boy ought to be given the same chance with
the pups.
