no one livelier than Mrs. Montague
Smith, whose game lead ainuest beeome

and ovor jtaiu,nnd the thought never
oecurred to her that this was nearly the
identieal question that the friends of the
late Hon. Montague &nth asked in re -
geed to herself,
"How on earth can Montague Srnith

The Earl had gone up to town for a

tentient and friend. These girie studied
together, and were almost inseparable.
They were about near the completion
of their education at Madame Brown's.
They had done double duty from the
first.
The earl lost hope the moment he saw
his daughter's pale face and shrunken
eye. He knew that trouble lurked near.
He was sorely grieved and visited the
best physicians, but his daughter plead-
ed for a little more time. They wanted
to finish their education, At and Doro-

"It would be far better for us to go
to the south of France for a time," he
said, but she would not °content.
"I have some plans that will bring us
great happiness, you and I, Elise," he
said, and his flies beamed in anticipa-
tion.
"Make every plan for your happiness,
father, and when you are happy, I am

There stood before him the mot

Slight in form, with a wierdly beautiful

hair, and with great, tendee dark etes
that bespoke great kindness ot heert.
Her form was clad 'n simple black

There was a simply plain waist confined
by a belt. At the threat was a little,
saft crepe ruching. This dress was el -

was by far the most beautiful girl he
had ever seen.
"Whose daughter, did I understand,"
asked the earl.
"Dorothy Wynter, father," s.sld his
daughter, and he noticed the cloud that
eame into her faeo„ and he asked no
more.
Dorothy had not noticed the question
or the look. She fully realized that her
friend. was. in a state of ill -health, and
that their long separation was very
near. She then would be utterly friend -
les* again. She had to go out in the
world and take her chalices, alone, but
she had a brave heart, had. Dorothy.
The world had few terrors for her, for
looked through eyes of seventeen, hope
glamored them over with rosy hues.
When Dorothy exeused herself to go to
her clais, and left father and. daughter
alone Abe said:
"Tell me, father, how you like my
Dorothy? Is she not beautiful? She is
as good as she is beautiful. .At nights
she gets up and raises me in her arms
when I cough, and she will not sleep un-
til I do. 1 heve abused my Dorothy
love, I am sure."
The earl was filled with admiration
for his daughter's friend.
"Whose daughter did yon say she
was?"
"Oh! father, don't you know that
Dorothy don't know who she is? Just
think of it She was raised. by some
person named Dame Wyneer, who only
told. her that she was ne kot to her, and.
that she was of noble birth. It is a
most bitter thought to my Doroth;e,
and I was s.o afraid you would ask awk-
ward questions, but you did not, you
are such a darling!"
His daughter had her arms about his
tech:. How much he loved her! He
could never resist her pleading. Had
she asked the most impossible things he
would have see about at onee, their ite.
complishment.
"Who send Dorothy to school and
pays for her?" he asked.
She whispered in his early softly lest
some 'whisper should be heard:
"I did, this teem. You gave me more
money than I needed, and it more than
enough to pay for Dorothy. She don't
know that I did. it."
"I am afraid you have had too little
means for yourself. Why did you not
tell me, and let, ane hely your Dorothy?"
"I was afraid she might know. She is
so proud, she would not accept it if she
knew."
When the earl left; he gave his daugh-
ter a handsome Ellin for herself and
Dorothy. He loved -to gratify every
wish, this idolized daughter of his!
The earl had gone to tell hia daughter
that he was about to marry again, hut
her pale face froze on his lips. He eould
not bear the idea of happiness while she,
looked so ill, and she had told him to
make himsely happy, and she would. be,
also. He could not summon courage to
tell her, so went back without doing
so. She was so sweet and good, he knew
she would raise little or no objection.
He would, wait awhile until he had set-
tled matters, then there would be time
enough to tell her, 'When he entered

The prisoner was charged with se
an offence that the judge told
him that if he would plead guilty be
would let him off with a fine,
"Before we plead, guilty," replied the
rrian's lawyer, "we'd like to know what
the fine will be."
"Isn't it rather unusual to attempt
to bargain with the court?" asked the
judge,
'Perhaps it is, your honor," replied
'Ole lawyer, "but in this case, it is im-
portant. You see, the prisoner has only
twelve dollars, and as my fee is ten
dollars we can't tabard to plead guilty

THE LIMITATION OF THE FLY.
(New York Herald)
The campaign now being orgenized by
the Department of Health of the Oity 01
New York to limit the breeding phloxes
of flies repreaents the rational mode of
lessening the peat. Much has been said.
about the destruction of the fly and
"Swat the fly" has beemne it slogan and
children have become engaged. in the cru-
sade. Apart from the dubious psychol-
ogy of encouraging ohildren in leilling
even flies there is little use ia destroy-
ing the insects if they are allowed to
breed freely. The progeny of a single
pair of flies propagating in favorable
eireumsta.aces will even in the few
months of the summer amount to some
billions.
What ip needed is to limit their breed-
ing. Flies breed. in, waste organic mater.
ial of any kind and the open garbage
ean has been their main resource in cit -
Careful enforcement of the regulation
tor the removal or the covering, up of
organic material of all kinds strikes at
the root of the evil. In the tenement
house neighborhoodss particularly flies
are probably responaible for more ills -
ease than any other factor. Disease is
alwaya most costly to the poor. The
ounce of prevention is here worth, more
than a pound of cure -worth far more
than the slight trouble and expense in-

Somewhere beneath the moll of Suesex
there lies a peal of bells, adaile in the

or declared.:
"Never shall the ehurch have s. chime
until that peal I give it be dragged,
from the sea by it team of pure rdilk

The oxen seem to have been difficult
to obtain; at any rate, the fact remains
that to thie day the edifiee to which
the pious knight made his benefaction
has never possessed more than a single
be -ll.
espot in Northumberland used to be
pointed out by very old people as 0,
place where a great treasure was* bur-
ied. Finally, setae curious persons set
to digging and exhumed the remains of
a bell, which was identified as that be-
longing to the ruined priory near by.
The story of ite burial is this: A pack
of Seoteh thieves were searching far the
priory, but it was $o situated that it
was concealed from the gaze of the me..
renders by the highlands about it.
They were exceedingly wroth and
marehed away in disgust, and the
monk, to celebrate their deliverance
from the enemy, rang their beloved bell.
Unfortunately they were too hasty. The
bandits heard the sound, retraced their
steps and sacked and burned the priory.
It is supposed that during the conflo-
gration the hell fell to the ground and
the homeless monks, finding the piecee,
reverently buried them.
Henry VIII. looked upon bells as a
means of adding to his income and en-
couraged their destruction, but ill for-
tune attended those who abetted him.
One nobleman from Whom he is said to
have won a peal of church bells by
throwing dice was shortly afterward
hanged on Tower Hill. And it certain
Bishop of 13angor, who, having sold
Wing Henry the beautiftt bells of his ca-
thedral, went to see them shipped and
was etrielien with blindness.
