Poor Stephen's sorrowful, desolate home—her poor, generous, 6elf.sacrire- ed boy! What did Trewhella mean by her eidiculoua gossiping news about his Wife's being nearly well? Those kind of people were so apt to exaggerate every- thing, The poor, dying, crippled creature was perhaps able to go about in a, Bith chair, or be carried in an eaey-cua:lioned barouche, or something of that kleol. "Poor Winnie! She used to be an acttve, nimble little oreatuse. Poor Stephen, to what a life lie has doomed himself!" 1VIadaan. thought Again, as she came in sight of the quiet old gr ty tene- pointed house lying amongst the iTtes and evergree shrubberies of Tregarther, with the blue smoke rising Me' ftly cn the quiet evening air, not evin a lay of sunlight to brignten up the r'of windows, not a sound to be heard en the smoothly -mown lawn or the neatiy- raked carriage drive, not e figure of a human being visible about the Ordelly precints of the calm, quiet d.e3e-eus-. looking old mansion, • "It must be nothing less than a pri- son to him after his free, wandering life —my poor Stephen!" Mede,m abut st groaned. "His day* have to he spent in an invalid's room, or in one of *nom lent downstairs rooms, reading the news paper." One the silent downstairs rooms had its long French windows standing open. It did not look particularly gloomy or dreary, either, with its vases of flowers, its gay litter of tiny -chairs and, foot- stools and tables, its open books, writ- ing cases, and open piano, -with loose sheets of music fluttering here end there in the evening breeze, all which madam caught sight of as she passed on. She had espied the open door of the high -walled fruit garden lying to the south of the house, and bent her eteps thither. "He is in the garden, perhaps," she thought, with kindly pity, "He was always fond of wandering about in a garden, plucking flowers and fruit, poor fellow!" Yes, there was no doubt that he was in the garden, for madam caught the sound of advancing steps and her nep- hew's voice—not a subdued or sorrow- ful -toned voice either—indeed, he was laughing gaily with some one. "You're a nice young lady!" she heard Captain Stephen say, hilariously. "Do you pretend to have a conscience? I should. be glad to know. How many more ripe gooseberries am I to gather for you, scratching my hands? They are BO exquisitely white it is a pity certain- ly. No, you sha'n't! No, you sha'n't! I have no intention of spoiling you as your mother is doing, mademoiselle." "Visitors!" tnadam thought, in vexed disappointment. "What shall I do?' It was silly of me to come here unexpect- edly; but I never imagined that he would have visitors." But a retreat being impossible, ma- dam stood her ground quietly, gazing. in surprise and confused uncertainty at the group that emerged. from the rose:covered archway of the garden- doonewith the long vista beyond of strawberry beds, gooseberry bushes bending beneath their weight of purp- plish red, translucent green, and. downy amber fruit, wall fruit ripening in the sheltered summer air, open cucumber frames, trailing vines, and the distant green house, with its roof festooned by drooping sterns clustered with white grapes. Was that Stephen—her nephew, Ste- phen! That great, broad -chested, rud- dy-cheeked, jolly -looking country gentle- man in a straw hat and gray morning coat, with 'a dainty bouquet of moss - rosebuds in the top buttonhole? And carrying a. baby? Nothing less. A great, fat, handsome, llvety baby of some eight or nine months old, who held an enornious amber goose- berry squeezed. in one little pink, fat, dimpled hand, and with the other re- tained a firm and unceremonious clutch of Captain Tredennick's necktie! And by his side, leading on his other arm; walked a pale, fair delicate look- ing woman, dressed in a simple graceful dress of pearly gray, with rich claret : velvet ribbons in her hair and. around her throat; these with a thick silk sash of the same hue knotted at her waist and hanging its, heavy rich fringes down as far over her dress, brought out the delicacy of its clear pale hue and the fragile purity of her own com- plexion in a mariner that caught Madam Vivian's artistic eye and charmed. it on the instant. That pale little woman walking rather feebly by his side, the fat, handsome, troublesome baby, and the jolly -looking country gentleman—who were they? Utter blank amazement looted Madam Vivian to the ground. "Aunt Vivian! My dear aunt—ity dear aunt!" Stephen Tredenniek cried, rushing forward, holding the baby tight- ly yet, even while he embraced and kiss- ed the old lady; whereby the young per- son in the white embroidered frock was brought into :remarkable contiguity to Madam Viviates bonnet. "Aunt, dear," he said in the next breath, holding ,aunt and baby squeezed in one arm, and allowing madam not an instant's opportunity for. the tender, severely reproachful, gracious, forgiving little speech she had been preparing all the way front Roseworthy—never even seeming to eeeollect the neeessity for it in his flush of pleasure and gratificit- tion—"Aunt, dear --look here!" and he put his other arm around the little wo- man in the pearly gray poplin dress. "Aunt, look at my Winnie! .As well, as ever nearly, thank Heaven! She can walk about the grout& as well as 1 can now! Isn't it wonderful?" Winnie Tredennick remembered the need for the forgiving speech if her hus- band did not. The old shy color flood- ed her faee, and her lips trembled, as madatn remembered to have seen years ago when giving one of her lengthy te- bultea. "Dear martian," she faltered, thnidly putting out her hand; "I an glad—so giad to see you Node." "And 1," said madam, gtadefully meet- ing the greeting hand ,more than, half way, "am end to ace that you., my dear, luwe been so merefutly restored." MIRIAM meant that Winnie 5110B1a have the benefit,ef that little reproach. fully kind speeoh: and WWI proceeding to itay that utlit pleasure of knoWitit that ' you have reeovered your health, Mrs. Ttedemalek, it patifying *tough tto clause me to feel less keenly the memory of the paet," when, fortunately, or un- fortunately, the floating white ostrich feather, curling graeefully on the top of Madam Vivian'e blaek lace bonnet, caught the quick, bright, violet -grey eves of etteetegeung person in the embroidered frock, and in an instant both the sat- iny dimpled hands, dropping the cruehed ripe gooseberry, elutched at the white feather in rampant glee. The baby, screamiug with delight, there was an end put from that time, henceforth and forever, to Madam's studied sentences and the grave, rebuk- ing, reconciliatory speech. "Oh, dear me—the child!" Madam ex- claimed, Inv °Junta rily, "My daughter, aunt," said Stephen Tredenniek, putting the fat, handsome, troublesome baby right into the old lady's arms. "Isn't she a beauty—a reg- ular young Tredennick? Hasn't she got the Tredennick eyes, aunt, and the erre- denniek noee? She's an imperious young dame! And rny' word! hasn't he got the Tredennick temper? She's got Win- nie's little mouth, though," he added, more softly --"a gentle, persuasive little mouth—and Winnie's hair. Sec what thick, curly brown hair she has, and. she is not nine months old!" "Only eight months and three week, dear," put in the mother's "gentle, per- suasive little mouth—and Winnie's hair. See what thick, curly brown hair she has, and she is not nine months old!" "Only eight months and three weeks, dear," put in the mother's "gentle, per- suasive little moutle" with ,accurate ma. ternal knowlelab, mitettr Madam, isn't she very like Stephen?" "Very," said Madam, holding the troublesome baby in a closer clasp. A kind of thrill ran through her—a momentary feeling of displeasure and re- sistance at the sound of the wifely fam- iliar words which seemed to draw Ste- phen and Stephen's child so tenderly close to her who had been Winnie Caer- lyon as to shut out her who was but Madam Vivian, his aunt, into the outer circle of mete relationship. It was but momentary. In the tender light of Winnie Tredennick's wistful, loving eyes, in the 'radiance of Stephen Tredenniek's wedded happinees, in the touch of the baby arms of the little one on her bosom, who seemed like a son's child, a geandchild to the lonely old white-haired woman, the last remnant of coldness, jealousy and. unworthy pride faded quietly out of her heart, "We Qalled after you, Madam," Win- nie added. softly) The old lady looked earnestly and inquisitively at her for a moment, and then she gave her the genuflect kiss she had meant to delay for so much longer. "Did you, my dear?" she said, putting the baby into her arms. "There, Helen Tredenniek, you shall make peace be- tween your mother and your grand -aunt forever!" THE END. 4-ag, ELEPHANT HUNTING. •.•••••••••4 Long, Hard Tramp Ere Game Was Bagged. A native brought in news from a lege on the Benialwambi road of three elephants that had for three or four nights succesefully plundered the potato and banana "ehandeas," set out at 5.20 a.m., accompanied lyr my gunbear- er and a native hunter from the village, who had already proved his prowess as a fearless tracker, writes Basil Dun- can in the Field. We reached the village in question after one and a half hours' trek through the forest. Here I was shown the plundered "shambas". there were the footmarks of three elephants —one large bull and the other two cows. The chief of the village supplied me with a •man who said he knew the forest well—but of this more later on. The elephants hael evidently only just left, and in twenty minutes we heard them crashing about in the dense forest a lit- tle way ahead. I sent my tracker on, and he soon came back with the good news that the bull had separated from the two cows and had gone to the right, so we followed the hull's spoor through dense rhododendronbushes so thick that one could not see five yards ahead; but then one is accustomed to this in the Congo forest. The rain which had. been threatening now poured down in torrents,' making it impossible either for us to hear the ele- phant or vice versa. Suddenly the tracker pointed at something, and. I saw some ten yards ahead—the forest had thinned here a little—a. fine bull with long, heavy tusks, Fearing 1 mipeht not get such another opportunity, ,although the bushes were still thick enough to give inc only an imperfect sight of the elephant, I determined to risk a shot, and gave him both barrels of my .460 in his ear, while my gunbearer fired with the .360 Rigby at the shoulder, Tthe elephant showed no signs of being wounded, and dashed off. There was nothing else to do but follow up the beast, as I was sure the shote had told. Many elephants show no signs of being struck, but if they are followed up steadily one can generally get another shot, at them. The rain meanwhile still continued to fall in torrents, and it Wag anything but pleasant work forcing our way through the dense undergrowth, while the spoor Waft in placedifficult to follow, owing to old tracks. ,After two hours my traekers wanted to give up and go home, but I did not wish to lose the eliance of a big Welker, and insisted on going on. Soon we had our reward, for after another hour I suddenly EiRAV the elephant standing waiting some twelve yards a,head in a small clump. of reeds.

AS OT1IXR,S S44 IT1 u. S. Paper's View of British Land Reform. (Roeheeter Post -Express.) There is small wonder that Lloyd - George is the best hated, most be- loved inan in England. He has aged to threaten the landed interest. In na eountry in the world, perhaps, is it more difficult for the laboring man to own his patch of land. than it is in Great Britain. Ireland, by comparison, is an emeciat'ed country, and it is highly probable that the long -continued and ceaseless agitation of the Irish Par- liamentarians has had the effect of Arousing the more sluggish Saxon to a sense of his own ‘vrongs. On tide ead, by the way, it is not without point to recall the valet in "John Bull's Other Ieland," who ineets"the complaints of the Irish agitator with the remark that the poor Londoner has much worse griev- ances to put up with, The fact is that England. has never completely emerged frourfeudalism, The lord of the manor can no longer call on Itis retainers to follow him as a retinue or assist his attack on the estate of a neighborhig noble, but he holds the laborer in a servitude that diffdrs very little in effea from the 6erfdom of old, when all who were not freemen wore brass eollar rouud the neck, inscribed with the name and address of their own- er, The laborers on an English landed estate do' not own their little plot of land; they are usually so miserably poor that they are practically imprison- ed in the locality where they were born. If it were not for the fact that many of the landowners are benevolent xnen, !kind-hearted, within the narrow tra- ditions of their class, England would long ago have .suffered the throes of a revolution as bloody as ever stained the soil of France. And to -day, fired by the example of his neighbors, "Hodge," as the typical English laborer is called, wants to know why he too should. not "hage a place in the sun," Within the last twenty years men like Joseph Chamberlain's henchman, ;Tease Clollings have done yeomen service in getting passed allotment acts, pro- viding for the purchase of garden plots by local boards and their renting or sale without profit to the public.. 'In the neighborhood of eities this movement has acquired considerable momentum, But most of thie legislation is permis- sive, and, if the owner of a vast estate does not wish to part with any of this land he need not tit so, To American minds it will seem almost incredible, yet it is a plain fact that the land of the great city of Itirmingt.am is owned almost entirely by three families. A little more than a century ago the Cal- thorpes were a comparatively poor rem- ily. But within hat hundred years Bir, rningham has quadrupled its population aud become the hardware capital of Eng- land, There are eases in which noble families own the greater part of coun- ties. At the same time, as every ob- servant American tourist can testify, the cottages of the laboring class and the patch of ground adjoining are so small that the dwellings cannot be healthy, and the !and 's insufficient to raise enough vegetables to supply the needs of the smallest family. This is the condition of things which the Welsh statesman declares he will xeform, and, if anything will hold. the Liberal Govern- ment in power long enough to raise thg Home Rule Bill, it will be this grap- pling with the most momentous question in English life—the. land question. "This rich country," declared Mr. George in a . speech which thrilled the lend from end to end, "does not provide ----I will not say adequate, I will not say euffieient—it does not provide decent 'homes for the laborers engaged in an occupation which is vital to its very existenee."' What wonder then that the cOuntry districts are becoming depopulated and the eit;gs overcrowded ? 13y the greedier class of landowners, Mr. GeOrtr,C if; 5.egardN1 fts an incendiary; but by the most philo- sophic among Englishmen he is hailed as the David who will rid the land of the Goliath of landlord tyranny. Eskimos Code of Etiquette, The Eskimos have a code of eti- quette that runs something like this, says a writer in the Wide World Mag- - azine: "If a stranger has othing, give him anything you have ' got; if he has plenty ask him for everything." The generosity or stinginess of a newcomer on his initial visit forever establishes his reputation among the Eskimos. If he withholds the usual present and pays sparingly for his labor he is blazoned throughout the country as a "tightwad" the Eskimos are promptly converted, so far as he is concerned, into thieves; but if, on the other hand he pays his natives well for unloading his cargo and dis- penses With little presents with dis- cretion, he known as a "good low," and the whole tribe stande ready to do his bidding. Of the general natural honesty of the Eskimo there is no question," the writer continues.

The cost of wearing 'pearls has risen because the oysters that produce pearls are going on strike and. the coat of liv- ing for the pearl divers is higher, Those who should know say that oysters seem to have been unusualy eucessful in rec- ent years in expelling from their shells the foreign bodies that cause the grow- ths resalting in pearls. Even the pearl fishers find that the cost of living is greater than in former days. In this case the word "living" may be taken in a literal sense, since the oc- cupation of pearl diving results in ail- ments, genrally of a paralytic nature, which the natives in pearl fishing dis- tricts now treat in their atempts to ward off total disability and death. Greater care is taken now than form- erly in making pearl necklaces for the reason that -present day tastes demand absolute uniformity of color .and form. Necklaces of former generations are rarely homogeneoug. Even in such necklaces as the famous one in the Louvre a $10.000 pearl may be seen next one worth no more than $100 or so.— New York Sun.
