"Just think, Evelyn, of the hundreds of

Lady Finistoun, interrupting her, ex-
claimed --

"Oh, yes. I will write it in your me -

Lady Finistoun embraced Iter affec-
tionately, and straightway forgot all
about her till they met again.
Mona walked leisurely home through
Kensington Gardens in a very thought-
ful mood. She was truly delighted to
see Evelyn so bright --so happy. She
had keeuly noticed the beauty and rich-
ness of her surroundings --every minutia
of her dress, of the china and silver in
help, to direct everything himself; but
he was very unwell and fractious. He
never mentioned Mona's .Iona's name, but Ken-
neth was of opinion that lie thought of s
her a good deal. Meantime there was no t
chance of his getting away, and he began t
to fear that it would be many a month
before he could see his Highland Mary.
The days and weeks flew by rapidly,
and Mine. Debrisay was beginning to
think of work again, when one molesing n
in the first week of September, the post
brought Mona a letter addressed in ex- t

it eves a piece- of work not to be quick-
ly dome. The collaborators lied wide dif-
ferences o£ opinion as to what was and
was not to be insisted upon. Mona land
mostly her own way, but, nevertheless,
was a good deal influenced by her
friend's shrewd advice.
Finally, the letter was despatched. As

eanie another epistle agreeing to every-
thing, and expressing Uncle Sandy's ex-
treme satisfaction. He gave ]his niece
few eominissions to execute respecting
books, papers, etc., and promised to sub-
scribe to an Edinburgh circulating lib-
rary, that they might have entertain-
ment: and instruction in the long winter
ni ;lata.
The ensuing week was- a busy .one.
London dressmakers were not to be
thoughtlessly left behind. Preparations
for a, prolonged sojourn in comparative
wilds were to be made. And D'fona dear-
ly loved becoming dress and pretty
things. Still madame preached economy,
and the necessity of considering Mona's
tiny capital as too sacred to be touched.
"You never know, dear, when the
rainyday may- come. So if you take
a trifle now, be sure you pay it back
when you get your first quarter. .»laid
now and again send me what you can to
put away for you,""Yes! I promise Deb."
"And if your uncle gives you a present
of money, save it up. It is an awful
thing to feel you haven't a penny, as I
did when I had buried• poor Debrisay.
How I ever got through, God onlp
knows."
"He helped you, dear Deb, because you
helped yourself."MadameMadne lues Iost in thought, and did
not reply.
"I'd have a dinner dress. though!" she
exclaimed, suddenly; "a dinner dress' of
black satin and jet lace. You'd look as
fair as a lily in it; and some blush roses
on your shoulder, to show you were not
in mourning."
"I have two dinner dresses, you know,
that only need a little doing up. And
probably I shall never need such a
thing?'
"You don't know! When Lady Finis-
toun is your neighbor, you can't refuse
to dine with her.' I should not be sur-
prised if all the lairds in the: country-,
sidewere to lay themselves at your feet.
They don't often see anything like you!"
Mona laughed heartily at her imagina-
tive friend, and then the conversation
was interrupted by the arrival of a let-
ter from Kenneth—very hastily but joy-
ously written. He was full of the an-
ticipated pleasure of meeting Mona, and
told her that Mary Black was to be in
Glasgow staying with some relations,
and he would get leave to stay a day,
and would also introduce his lady -love
to his cousin. Uncle Sandy, he said, had
quite "perked" up since he knew Mona
was eoming, and, in chert, life looked
like a sunny, unruffled lake, pro tem.,
to the sanguine young Highlander.
Then the hour of parting came soon—
too soon. +
What sandwiches Mine. Debrisay cut,
what biscuits and grapes she bought,
how neatly she did them all up in a pic-
turesque little basket with loving care,
may be imagined.
She loaded her "dear child" with all
kinds of little, useful presents, and she
a warm waistcoat of her own knit-
ing to Uncle Sandy, in preparation for
he winter.
"I want to stand well with bine, dear,
for• your sake; and he never quite took
to me." -
Finally she parted with Mona with
early dry eyes.
"Why should I snake her heart ache,"
bought the kindly woman.
But site was deeply gratified by the
rofound regret with which Mona bid her
ood-bye.
"My only idea of home is with you,
ear Deb. You have a Ietter every
shall Il
Y
week, and you aniet write regularly too."
So madame stood standing to the last,
ill the last glimmer of the red light at
he end of the train had vanished, and
then went home, to have it out unre-
treinedly with her sorrow.
having looked at it earnestly for a mo-
ment, she exclaimed:
"Why, here is a letter r
from Uncle
d
Sandy!„
"You don't say so! Bead it to me, if
you will."
"I'll try. What 'an awful hand!" t
"My Dear Nieoe,--As you have lied
time to think over your unkind and un-
grateful conduct to your natural pro-
tector and nearest of kin, I make no
doubt you are sorry and ashamed of
yourself. But, as youth is always wilful
and self-opinionated, I dare say faire
shame holds you back from saying you h
are sorry. Therefore, for the sake of
your father, and, indeed, for your own, . v
I will believe that you say them in your i
heart, and are willing to atone to ane,
by trying to be a comfort to my poor,
troubled old age, which you have been, s
an the time we epurneyed together. e

sensible out of doors, but within it is o

Craigdaroch was a beautiful secluded
spot on the side of a hill—the advane-
d post of a mountain range, which up-
eaved its lofty crests further inland.
t looked west upon the loch (an inlet
f the eea), which lay directly beneath

They had passed away long ago, and
their lande had been divided among dif-
ferent purchasers. The Lord Finistoun
of that day had bought the deer forest,

In Texas the negro is not elgiible un-

Texas. The southern people—the medical
men of the south--eheerfuIIy accord to
him alt that is coming to hint .\1'e grant
him all civil, political and religious
rights, but the line is drawn—and will

Thomas Hardy's First Love.
That Thomae Hardy,.,tltbough ht aban-
doned his profession of :nr;3itect to be-
come a writer, has nor forgotten his
first love, is shlown by an interesting
paper recently written 'by him for the
Society for the P-roteot•iou of Ancient
Buildings. The auisject was the restora-
tion of churches; dud the author, after
speaking of the many open abuses in so-
called "restoration," goes on to say that
were he now practising as an architect
he would not undertake to restore an
old church under any circumtstanees. in
tweet an edifice the human interest at'
ways ranks .before the architectural in-
terest, and therein lies the whole diffi-
culty of restoration. The ideal method,
he thinks, would be to enclose the ruined
church in a crystal palace and to build it
rice one alongside—although it is scarce-
ly necessary to say that he does not of-
fer this as a practical experiment.

(Minneapolis Tribune.)
It is said that some of the clubwomen of
New York complain of the way in which the
pants of that city are littered up by parties
of ohildron. No doubt such complaints have
been made, for there are tinleky women ev-
erywhere, but we doubt if tho whole burden
of the attempt to block the childish Yuri
should ,be laid at the door of the clubwo-
men, who are often the oblcets of unjust
criticism. Wo should rather suspect that
the idea originated with those denatured
women, whether members et clubs or not,
who sport doge lneteaad of children.

The shores of the Baltic sea are the
world's principal source of amber. here
a large number of people earn a precar-
ious livelihood by gathering the preei-
ons substance along the shore. At some
points along the coast divers search the
bottom of the sen for lumps of amber
hidden in the seaweed or jammed be-
tween rocks. The largest piece ever found
weighed eighteen pounds, valued at $30,-
000. It is now in the Royal museum in
Berlin.
