sight of Vernon Vane's st.:lwart 'Marc,
be pulled up at the gate, as if struck by
a sudden idea. Only a few hours ago,
Vernon Vane had felt very much templ-
ed to pitch the Ifonorable Clarenee over
a balcony; but during those few hours
things had happened whieh had softened
his heart even to the _Honorable Clar-
ence, and instead of the usual curt, grim
nod, he looked actually amiable, as the
new viscount got off his horse, and held
out his hand.
"Good morning, Vane," he said. And
Vane noticed, as Jeanne had done, the
difference in his voice and Manner. "How
do you doe I---1 wanted to have a word
with you."
"With nde?" raid Vane. "You have
been out early this morning."
"Yee -yes," assented Lord Lane, look-
ing rather erobarramed for a moment.
- "I've been for a ride -that is -1 say,
Vane, I've beard bad news,"
. "I'm eery for that," said Vane.
"Yes," continued Isord Lane. "Pact is,
I've just had a lettec-we get them an
hoer earlier up at the park than you,
you know- saying that my brother
Lane has allot with an accident, and is
dead."
Vernon Vane had been listening rather
absently, but these hesitating, hurried
words calmed him to start.
"Laze -dead!' he a -Weimer].
The new Lord Lane nodded.
"Yes," he said. "Did you know him?"
Vernon Vane's usual reaerved manner
enveloped him immediately.
"I have met him," he said, coldly. "And
he is dead!"
"Yes -'was pitched out of his dogcart;
always was -too forte of driving risky
cattle. Knew how it would be some day
-poor Lane!"
Vernon Vane looked absent for a ow- '
aneirt, then he said:
"I ani sorry to hea.r this, Lord Lane.
Can I do anything for you?"
Lord Lane started slightly at his title,
it MILS the first time he had been so ad•
dressed, and oornmenced kicking the gra-
vel with his foot.
'Thanks, it's--itei very kind of you,
end -well, you could do somehhing, if
pea would."
slishea is it?-" asked Vane, with his
usual direetnese.
"Well, you see, I've only just heard
the news, and they don't know anything
about it up at the park. and, to tell ycei
the truth, 1 rather shirk going throuin
the whole story, and the regular good -
by," and—" Vernon Vane eyed him
quietly; "and I thought perhaps you
wouldiat mind walking up and letting
them know. I'm anxious to get to town,
and can catch the first train if I don't
liave to go back to the park, you know."
"And what about the young ladies?
Have you any special message for them?"
asked Vane, with Isis old, cynical smile
;nen a prineeas of the blood -would not

huh:Wine arEst and musician?
To Jeanne he has been from the first
a her of ronianee. Ceti he net paint,
and sing, and sail a boat, and .does he
ont look like a king? And he loves her,
Suddenly he seat ters her delicious rev-
erie by putting his arms around her -
they have reiusheil one of the twisting,
sheltering walks in which the old garden
abounds -and drawing her to him.
"Welt, ny darling," the says, in the low,
softened voice which has haunted Jeer=
during the night, "and have you
repented? Are you going to tell me this
morning that the fairies had bewitched
you last night, and that you had recov-
ered your senses with the morning?
You see, I eau hardly believe in my good
lurk-uty happiness!"
Jeanne smiled through her tears.
"Are you laughing at me? I am such a
poor, insignificant little thing—"
"Hush!" he says, taking her hand and
putting it to her lips and then to his
own; "not a word more of such dark
treason. Bear with me, Jeanne; it is
so hard for me to realize that I have
such happiness within my grasp. Why,
my darling, I shall have to keep you in
my sight for the next few days to per-
suade myself that it is real, and that
you aren't flown away, like a dream -
child! Jeanne," he says, suddenly, with
a ralf-serious, wholly tender smile lurk-
ing under his moustache, "what will
Aunt Jane say when I go in and tellher
I want her ewe lamb?"
Jeanne looks up for a second bravely.
"What can she say?"
Vernon Vane shakes his head.
"Poor men, and struggling artists in
particular, do not meet with an effusive
welcome when they come with the re-
quest I am going to make. And Jeanne,"
he says, taking both her hands, and hold-
ing them tightly as he looks with loving,
longing scrutiny into her downcast face,
'are you sure of yourself A poor man's
wife -fancy!"
"Are you so very poor?" aske Jeanne,
eagerly. "I am -so glad!" she says,
drawing a long breath; "I am so glad!"
"Why -why?" he asks, keeping back
the swift, glad light Which flashes to his
ejes.
Jeanne leans forward until her head
rests against his heart.
"Because, because," she says, softly,
'we shall always be together, like poor
people, and you will not learn to forget
me; because I shall be company for you
while you work, and you will need me
and be glad of me ever so much more
than if you were rich! Yes, I am glad
you are poor!"
Ire does not speak, but he passes his
hand over the golden head that lies
against his heart.
"And you will never be sorry, darl-
ing?" he says, "and never look back and
think what might have been if another
had found my queen, and laid a title
and his money at her feet?" No!" he
says, "I know my Jeanne -my Jeanne-"
Then they go slowly back -very slow-
. .
"Message?-no--eno--of course not.
Only the usual thing. Obliged to go -
sorry to leave so suddenly, and all that.
Hang it, Vane," he broke out, abruptly,
"you don't suppose that anything of that
kind can go on now; things are changed,
and my people would go mad—"
"What is sauce for Mr. Fitzjames is
not sauce for Viscount Lane, I Bee," said
Vane, grimly. and with quiet scorn.
"Well, you want to catch your train; T
will go up for you to the park-a.nything
else?"
"No, nothing -and 'pon my life I'm
much obliged to you," said his lordship,
gratefully. "It would have been a ter-
rible bore, you know. Awfully obliged,
I'm sure."
"Don't speak of it," said Vane, coldly.
"Good -morning, Lord Lane."
"Oh -.half a moment," said his lord-
ship; "I say, Vane, just one thing more
you -of course you won't think anything
about our chat laet night -about the
other little lady, you know?"
Vernon Vane's lips tightened.
"Are you alluding to Miss Bertram?"
he asked, grimly.
Lord Lane nodded, and gathered up his
reins.
"Yes, of course, that was all nonsense.
No more to be thought of than the other
,young ladiee, You understand asfelleve
of course. Wouldn't eIo, you knew, eh?
Don't mention it, there's a good fellow,"
"No," said Vane, eI ani not likely to
mention it," and without anether word
he strode off.
Lord Lane drew a long breath of relief.
"Phew!" anuttered, "I'm well out of
it all. The eight of the pillmaker would
finish me after this morning's work; I
feel upset--deeidedly upset -and wish to
heaven leite in town," and be made for
the Gtation.
By the thne Vernon Vane had reaclierl
the gate in the wall, which, by the way,
he had opened pretty often of late, the
cynical expression bad left his face, and
the eager look of the lover had returned.
Ile pained a moment in the couirt to
look up at the red IMMO held his
treaeure, and recalled the evening of hie
Bret visit, when be lia,c1 watched his (ree-

Which his music had called up, Then he
event in, to find the house apparently de -
embed. But presently, .20 he &food look-
ing froin the open doorway into the gar-
den, there was a light footetep behind
ttnd there etood Jeanne 'with her
hold held out, and her eyes downeetet,
but e tell-tale Mesh on her fate.
Without a word lie drew her toward
him with a murmured word of endear-
ment.
"It is like the sleeping palace!" be eaid,
With his quiet smile.
"Where are they till?" ilea jeartne,
shyly. "I was upstairs, is ant, and
itunts---"
"AM en eatery?" he eaid; "I should
have been here before, hitt have been de-
tained,"and am he epoke, he drew her
into the garden.

3, in silence.
Just as they are in sight of the house
Auut Jane's slovenly figure, covered by
its cooking apron, appears in a doorway,
and without a word Jeanne slips from
his arm and vanishes.
Vernon Vane etnits his short laugh
and makes for the foe.
"Good -morning, Mr. Vane," says Aunt
Jane, holding out a floury .hand and
withdrawing it with a laugh. "Wasn't
trial Jeanne with you?"
"Yes," says Vane, with a smile. "May
I come inr and he follows her into the
kitchen.
"You'll get all over flour," she says,
as he sits himself upon a broad table and
looks at her with a quiet smile on his
handsome face. "Do you want to peer
into the mysteries of puff -paste. Where
is Jeanne?"
"Jeanne has fled," he says.
"Fled?" echoes Aunt Jane; then she
looks up, struck by the way in which be
says "Jeanne,' and half reads the story
in his eyes.
"Oh, what is it?" she says.
"Will you give her to me?" he mks,
very gently. "I love her with all my
heart."
Of course, Aunt Jane einks into a
chair, and equally, of course, having
gained her breath, she cries:
"Jeanne is a cbild," she says, at last.
And -and --oh, I can't believe it! She
dceen't know wbat love means."
"Not till bet night," be murmurs, al -
moat to himself. "You 548e," he goes on,
"I came to you first, and you shall go
with me to Tenele John. Don't TerlIfItl,
her to me, Nine Dosstrell," he breaks off
with a sueden, sharp earnestness that
terrifies Aunt Jane into tears again.
leo -to! sbe says; 'hut if she is wil-
ling, and you thielr--"
'I think. so,' he Faye, with a deep light
in his eyes.
"Then I must say 'yes!"" says Aunt
Jane, suddenly.
"And not a ward about myself and my
ponitienr he asks, with a faint smile.
"Well, not now," replies Aunt Jane.
"Jeanne does not know what it is to be

Ile pauses, faintly surprised at .the

upon her, and Jeanne, open and candid •
Jeanne, who has never told a lie in her
life, or known a concealment, is in
agony.
• The tell-tale red dyes her face for ono
moment, then leaves it pale.
But Vane for a wonder ie not looking
at her, but la gazing musingly at the
sky.
"Viscount Lane 1" he repeats; "it was
a surprise for him, and for the moment
had frightened him out of his assumed
skin of impassive langour."
"And ---and the commend," says Jean-
ne, speaking at last, "what wile that?"
Vane frowns.
"A comical one, but one whieh, being
in a good humor this morning,i promised
to obey. I am to go up to the Park,
and break the news of his lordship's de-
parture to the Lamhtons. Poor Maud 1

of scorn, "you wanted to know the world

troubled. "I do not now. I will stay in

"For just one month, darling," he
whispers, "and then you shall see the

"A -a month 1" says aeanne, innocent,
ly. Then her face crimsons. "Oh, no-
ne ! not so soon 1" she says, catching her
breath -"not so soon 1"
But, mingled with her fear is a tremu-
lous gleam of half terrified delight in her
dark eyes; and Vernon knows that she
will yield.

CHAPTER XII.
It is a month since Vernon Vane sat
on Aunt Jane's kitchen table among the
flour, and the June sun, as it sinks slow-
ly and regretfully to its rest, turn e the
red. bricks of the old house into a tivid
crimson. Every door and window is
open, and the passer-by, if he cares to
listen, may hear, from the first flor, that
confuged commingling of chatter and ex-
clamation which proceeds from women
in excitement. The aforesaid passerby
may also, if he be observant, remark an
unwonted air of movement stirring about
the la e; sem tle g going happen.
Up in the room, from which the voices
float down into the road, the mystery
is explained, for a small group of ladies
are gathered around the bed, wrapped
in an estacy of admiration and delight
at the vision of a white satin bridal
dress smothered in lace, together with
the usual paraphernalia considered neces-
sary for those young ladies who are
about to change their condition.
At the centre of the group is Aunt
Jane half triumphantantly, half tearful-
ly, holding up the veil and orange -blos-
soms, and clustered around her are Geor-
gina and Maud and Mrs. Lambton.
It is elso a. th ' faiti
(ewe, now Viscount Laiie, rode away and
deserted them, but Mend and Georgina
have borne up well., and have been both
heard to declare confidentially that they
never could endure him, and that they
fondered why papa would persist in tsk-
ing him E0 often. They. had borne it
well; girls are taught, and by instinct
they teach themselves, to endure such
things as these, and they have con
descended to f th
maids for their dear Jeanne.
! For to -morrow -whisper it softly- is -
Jeanne's wedding day.
To -morrow commences with new life
which spreads before her like nn improb- •
able dream. Against Aunt Jane's en-
treaties, and Uncle John's expostulations„
Vane had stood firm as adamant. It
is necessary, so it appeared that h
should go to France in June, and he will
not go without Jeanne, unless Jeanne
herself wishes it. Jeanne has but to say
the word and he will go, but Jeanne
has not said the word, and the old,
simple life is divided from the new and
; mysterious strange one by but a few
slender hours.
: "It's all beautiful; couldn't be nicer!"
says Mrs. Lambton, leaning back in a
chair, and folding her bands with com-
placent enjoyment.
"The dearest, sweetest veil!" murmurs
Maud.
"Very nice, indeed!" resumes Mrs.
Lambton; "and not a bit better than she
, deserves! If she'd been a child of my
: own; Mrs. Dostrell, I couldn't have taken
to her more; and I'm sure Mr. Vane-"
"Oh, he's quite too charming!" mur-
murs Georgina, in the jargon of her kind.
"Mr. Vane is one of the pleasantest
young men I ever met," goes on the
good-natured lady. "And as to his not
.being rich, and all that, why, Pin sure
it don't make any difference to people's
happiness. Why, I remember when I
was married, Lambton Was only ir, a
small way -e"
"And, oh! do look at this beautiful
drese, mamma!" inte.rrupts Maud, rather
hastily. "Isn't it really too sweet?"
"No." pays poor Mrs. Larnbton, who is
always looking back to the old times
before the pill maker bad made hia for-
tune and beeline an old country gentle-
man. "No, riehee don't make happiness,
Mrs. Dostrell; Pm sure Mr. Vane is
wonderfully clever. What was it your
pa was reading about Mr. Vane's picture
inthe ezhibitien?. They say it's a won-
derful pieture, any your pa wild Mr.
Vane would make a pot of money-"

Revenge of the Hawks.
There is en interesting bird story cur-
rent in Bristol, It I., according to the
Providence Journal. Last spring a man
employed on a large estate in that town
disturbed a nest of fish hawks. The re -
snit was that at least one of the young
died.
This spring the man has been so beset
by two fish hawks thought to be the
father and mother sv,liose young be threw
out of their nest last year, that he has
not been able to do any sustained labor
on the place. The hawks flew about him
colse to his head, and sometimes when
be was not prepared for it they struck
him with their bills. Finally the owner
of the estate had to discharge the man.
His successor has been undisturbed by
the birds, which seem to be well satisfied
with their'revenge.

ARE SIX BABIES ENOUGH?
The Roosevelt Cent—roveray Renewed by a

metes and bounds of the family by mull -
()roue letters of congratulation to fathers:
and mothers of twelve, sixteen, twenty
children and upward, aud the public mind
was reaching n sort of fixity and final.
ity on the vexed subject.
Now conies Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, pre-
sident of the New York Federation of
. Day Nurses, with a new dictum which
upsets everything. She declares "the
absolute limit of a woman's capacity for
taking care of babies is eight, and she
ought never to have more than six."
Sonic have claimed that Mrs. Dodge
meant to say merely that six babies aro
as many as one nurse can care for, but
that. doesn't affect her declaration at all,
says Leslie's Weekly. If a wanton can't
care for more than six babies, or eight
at the most ,that settles it. That she
happens to be the mother of six or eight
has nothing to do with the question. It
seems to be up to Mr. Roosevelt to an-
swer Mrs. Dodge.

Spasmodic Efforts.
Spasmodic advertising is seldom very
helpful. Henry James, for instance, un-
less lie shall'epeedily devise new ways
of drawing newspaper attention to him-

attendant upon his recent "stunt" at

No merchant would dream of putting
out bis sign one day a month, or one
day a week and keeping it in the cellar
the rest of the time. Newspaper "ads"
are infinitely more valuable in attracting

more important that they should be

Mrs. Jack Aster's Back.
Two women en evidence everywhere
are Mrs. George Keppel and Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, who was Miss Eva Willing,
of Philadelphia. The vogue of the fernier
is supposed to be based upon the King's
admiration, while the latter shines as a
rich, all-around American beauty.
Her back is quite famous.
She evidently realizes this advantage,
and has her dresses cut so low at the
back that they threaten to lose their 'bal-
ance. This lack of balance is only ()b-
eery:111e from a side view, when it eon-
trasts queerly with the higher front.
No wonder this back of bers, which
really is fine, is famous. Her tactics at
her presentation at court were c,onspieu-
oils enough to have gained notoriety for
any mernher. Lest her veil, which hung
irons her bejeweled head, cover up the
snowy expanse of back, she had it pinned
around to the side in order that her

tions, on the top of which is a point,
the longitude of which is determined
with the utmest possible accuracy. The
observers' clocks at two stations are tele-
graphically connected during observa-
tions and the error determined with ex-
treme refinement.
It is to set up such pier at Harvard
that Dr. Klotz has come, and he has
been promised the hearty co-operation of
Prof. E. C. Pickering and his staff on
carrying out his project. This step con-
nects the Canadian transcontinental
longitude series at one end and with
American series, and ultimately there
will be a similar connection estriblish'ed
between Vancouver and Seattle, thus
completing the loop.

benefit, six bottles of Dr. Agnow's Cure for
the Heart restored her to perfect health. The

A Modern Grandmother.
(Delineator.)
I want to see a grandmother like thos'e
there used to be,
In a cozy little farmhouse where I could
go to tea;
A grandmother with spectacles and a
funny, frilly cap,
Who would mule me sugar cookies and
take me on her lap;
And tell me lots of stories of the days
when she was small, -
When everything was perfect -not like
to -day at all.
My grandmother is "grandma" and she
lives in 'a hotel
And when they ask "What is her age?"
she smiles and will not tell.
Says she doesn't care to realize that she
is growing old,
Then whispers -"But you're fir too big
a boy for me to hold."
Her dresses shine and rustle and her hair
is wavy brown,
And she has an antomebile that she
steers herself downtown,
My grandmother is pretty -"Do 1 love
her," Patther-yes;
Our Norali calls her stylish, and on the
whole I griess
She'better than the other kind, for
once when 1 was ill
She helped my mother nurse me and read
to Ine until
fell asleep; and Stayed With me, and
waen't tired, and then
She played nine holes of golf with me
when 1 got out vain.
Yes, beentic.'e I've never seen one, just
once 7 want to see
A real old-fashloned grandmother, like
those there used to be.

Test for All of Us.
(New York Times.)
I look into my neighbor's eyes
And twist a smile tha's plainly grim;
I'm thinking. Would he feel surPriso
To know just what I think of him?
/ gaze into my dear friend's faro
And with this thought my soul is stirred;
What revolution would take place
Were I to tell her what I'vo heard?
I stare into my mirror there
With eyes that hunger to truo
And say aloud: Would it be fats
To mention all I know of you?

How They Look.
(Chicago Chronicle.)
Speaking of the summer invasion of Manor -
leans, a London newspaper anis that the
streets will soon be full of "curiously quiet -
looking mon In weird coats, with padded
shoulders, long boots, blobby at the toes
and straw hats with no roof, and women
with brown faces and oyes with very white
whites, green veils floating in the breeze and
accents that sets one's teeth on edge." If
we really do look like this to our IMO( Si
friends, their professed fondness for us as
voiced by Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Balfour
is something to wonder at. Perhaps It Is a
case of "handsome is as handsome does" -
the deeds to render the Anglo-American alli-
ance worth while for the Anglo and of it.

Gold Mine 3,900 Feet Deep.
The deepest g6ld mine in the world is
said to be at Bendigo, Australia. It is
called the New Chum mine, and its raain
shalt is sunk to a depth of three guar-
• ters of a mile. The most difficult pro-
blem is how to keep tho tunnels and
; general workings cool enough for the
I miners to work. The temperature is us-
ually about 108 degrees, and this is, of
1 course, greatly enervating. To make it
possible for the men to work at all a
spray of cold water is let down from
above and kept continually playing on
their bodies. They are naked from the
waist up.

During the South African war the cm.
eorship of soldier' letters borne was
( very strict. One soldier, who always
sent an oecount of the tieing* nf the
regiment, which account wee always
blotted out by the oentor, laid a plan
for revenge. At the foot of hie next
letter he wrote, "Look under the stamp."

Colors That Birds Like.
Red will annoy a turkey cock as mach
as a bull, but a sparrow will not let ie
disturb its mind. But if one shak 3 a
blue rag in front of a caged sparrow's
eyes he will go frantic with disgust.
Sparrows and linnets, too, will refuse
food offered them on a piece of blue
paper, and they dislike ehe appearance
of any ono wearing a blue dress. Medium
light blue affects them most, but blue
serge they scarcely mind at all. Thru.shee
and blackbirds object to yellow, but will
use red or blue dried grasses left about
their haunts to build the outer layers
of their nests. YeRew grasses they will
not use.

The Antidote for Summer Dullness.
The retailer who complains tbat bust-
nee.s is dull in summer tinic usuelly has
only himself to blame -unless, 'mdeed,
he is a coal dealer or a specialist in ear
muffs or some other coutmcxiity thstt
Nature rebels against when the mercury
climbs upward in the tube. Summer dull-
ness is generally attributable to the
absence of a pant of the population from
the city during the hot months. The
a.ntidete is ready to hand. By forceful
advertising the stay-at-homes may be
induced to increase their purohases. New
customers may ee secured to take the
places of the old who are temporarily
absent. „es the temperature rises the
publicity appropriation should sympa-
thetically follow it..
