Mr. Hastings went to his inn, and summoned his confidential ser- vant to his presence. And Rose Elsner, full of hope and joy, turned down the street leading to her mother's cottage. It was a narrow, dusty, unsightly lit- tle street. There was no rural freshness or picturesque beauty about it. The .lit- tle old stone cottages on each side, and the few sickly -looking plants that stood in the windows, were covered with hard, white dust that every breath of wind and every passing vehicle raised up in clouds.

Colonel Hastings had scarcely left the room era !lir, Albert Hastings arose, stretched himself with a weary yawn, and, began to pace thoughtfully up and down the floor, murmuring: "Meat think mo a very fortunate and happy man; and, doubtless, an unusual number of good gifts have been show- ered upon me by the favor of the blind goddess --not the least among them would be esteemed the hand of this wealthy young baroness, any bride ex- pectant. Well, we cannot have every- thing we want in this world, ease sweet Rose Elmer only should be the wife of Albert Hastings. Poor girl- she little dreams that the man who has wooed her, under the name of William Lovel, is really Albert Hastings, the envied bridegroom of the !sigh -born Lady Ether. lege of .Swinburne. It cannot be helped. I cannot pause for lady's right, or mai- den's honor. Here, then, for a divided life; my hand to the lady of Swinburne, my heart to the lovely cottage girl; only Lady Etheridge must never know of Rose Elmer and William Lovel. nor must Rose Eimer know Lady Etheridge and Albert Hastings. And now to per- suade Rose to go before me into Wales, where myself and niy lady bride are to pend our honeymoon." And so saying, Albert Hastings took iiia hat and strolled out into .the street. Walking in an opposite direction to that taken by Colonel Hastings in his drive to Swinburne Castle, Albert Hastings soon reached a. cross-country road, which he pursued for about two miles. Then, tinning to the left, he entered a narow, ehedy lane, that led hint to a small, se - chided cottage, nearly hidden from sight amid climbing vines, clustering shrubs and overhanging trees. Taking a key from his pocket, he unlocked the little green wooden gate, and, passing between tall, flowering shrubs, he stepped under the rine-shaded porch, and, applying a small key, opened the cottage door and entered at onocs upon the only large room the cottage could boast. Zhis lonely cottage had been Tented and furnished by Albert Hastings as a tryeting place for his love. The whole ale of the room was couleur de rose. He called it "The Bower of Roses." It was indeed the bower of one peerless rove. Here he had been accustomed, during Itis visits to the neighborhood of his af- fianeed bride, to meet the Rose of his secret thoughts. But here, also, let it be clearly understood, he had respected -the honor of the humble maiden—not upon any good pirnoiple, perhaps, but, lolling her with all the power of his selfish heart, and resolved upon snaking her his own forever, he abstained from any freedom that might alarm her delicacy, and, perhaps, estrange her heart. Albert Hastings, the only son of Col- onel Hastings, of Hastings Hall, Devon, and of Portman Square, London, had been endowed by nature with many other good. gifts .besides his pre-enu- neaatiy 'handsome and princely person. He had a good head, and originally a yrood heart, but he had beep spoiled froin ,�i� youth up, in being led to believe that{ the whole world, and all within it, had been created for his own private use —or abuse, if he pleased. And, if this selfish creed were not now fully credited, it was, at least, thorough- ly' carried out in. his practice --a thing that cannot often be said of better creeds, or even better men. Albert Hastings had always been de- signed by his father to be the husband of the wealthy young baroness, his ward. The crafty old man had taken care not to bring the young people together in any 'manner during their childhood, lest they ehould grow up as brother and dater, without thought of a dearer rela- tionship. He had contented himself with secluding the young baroness from other youthful company. He had fixed her permanent residence in the deep retirement of Swinburne Castle, where she remained, year after year, under the care of a distant female relative, Mrs. alfontgomery, the wioow of a clergyman. 'There yhe was attended• by various deep! -learned masters anti highly-ae- eom�plished mistresses, all very discreet and elderly, who had been sent down by Colonel Hastings to carry on her educa- tion. At the age of eighteen she first 'set Albert Hastings. It had been plan - sled that she should spend a year in soaking the tour of the continent, in nominally with her guardian and his son, whose travels were delayed for tibia par - pose. It was but a few days before the Intended departure, while the heart of the young heiress was elated with the prospect of (seeing foreign countries, that .iilbr • n'g sill s was introduced to her.

Her beauty fascinated Albert Hast- ings. He secretly discovered her dwell- ing—a poor cottage, in a narrow, un- sightly street of the village --and he made an excuse to call there and settle his laundress' bill. The was the com- mencement of their acquaintance. Af- terward he contrived frequently to meet Rose in her daily errands through the village, and when no eye was near '`to spy his motions, he would join her in her walks, Through the help of a confidential ser- vant and a city agent, he hired and furnished that obscure cottage in the wood, and one day, meeting Rose, he in- vited her for a walk, and conducted her to the cottage to give her a surprise and to watch its effect. As he ushered Rose into the pretty room. fitted ut with a:l•l the elegance of a '°r s .)oudoir, she made an exclamation of intense aston- ishment and ploaeetre. The rural cot- tage in its thicket of roses, flowering shrubs and trees, and the pretty room, with its gems of art and leserature, af- fected her with many delightful emo- tions. The novelty pleased her unac- About half -way down the length of this street stood a row of low, stone cot- tages, covered, like everything else, with a suffocating dust of pulverized lime- stone. Nothing could be drier or more depressing than the looke of these cot- tages. Not a green thing grew near to them, not a foot of ground intervenel between them and the dusty street; the doors opened immediately upon the side, walk ,and not a bit of passage protected the privacy of the dwellers. Any intru- der could step at once from the street into the keeping -rooms of these houses. It was before one of the most forlorn - looking of these cottages that Rose El- mer paused, lifted the latch, and entered at once upon a large, comfortless -look- ing room, whose scanty furniture. had been already covered with dust in her absence. A coarse carpet covered the floor— a cheap muslin veiled the only window. A tent bedstead, with faded curtains, stood in the farthest corner. Opposite this stood a mangle, another corner was filled with a staircase, !hav- ing a closet under it, and the fourth cor- ner was adorned with a cupboard, through the glass doors of which a lit- tle store of earthenware shone. There custoaned eyes; the beauty charmed her was a smouldering fire in the grate, and resoul and the uty chi that beside this fire, in an old armchair, sat poetic'a a woman, whom no one would have pass- ed without a second look.

The record it to bo kept as a Itiitorieal document for 441 posterity. The phonetic archives at the institutions mentioned are to include i'e- colds from smell persons as will presum- ably have permanent historical interest for America. The importance of the un- dertaking can bo estimated by consid- ering the present value of vole° records by Demosthenes, Shakespeare or Emperor William the Great. Tho Emperor consented and the appar- atus was set up in the palace. I asked for four records, one for each of the institu- tions mentioned and one for my own scientific investigations. The Emperor, however, made only' two records, desig- nating one for Harvard University and the other for the other purposes .The two records were made by a phonograph with specially selected recorders on wax cylinders. Such cylinders are of no per- manent value because they are often in- jured by mould and sooner or later they always crack, owing to changes in tem- perature. From each original "master record" a metal matrix was made by coating it with graphite and then galvanoplating it. The wax master record was then re- moved (being destroyed in the process), leaving a mould from which "positives— that is, copies of the original—could be east. Durable positives were east in a hard shellac composition and in eellaloid. Some casts were also made in wax, and I new metal matrices were made from ,these. In this manner the following ma- terial was obtained: (1) A metal matrix 'and positive of Record No. 1, deposited in the National Museum at Washington; (2) a similar set of Record No. 1, de- posited in the Congressional Library at ,Washington; (3) a similar set of Re- cord No. 2, deposited in Harvard Uni- versity; (4) a complete set for both re- cords (a metal matrix and positive of each), which I presented to the Emper- . or; and (5) a reserve set of both.

A {young millhand having lost his sweetheart through his own hotheaded folly first threatened to commit suicide and then became vulgarly insistent in his demands for the return of the pre- sents he had given her.

Each Japanese soldier carries one of these sheets in his kit, and any number of them can be laced together, the custom being for four Hien to form .a tbivouae.
