The world is be- coming gradually smaller. Sweet Miss Margery She leaned hack lengetilly in her eitair and somehow the thought struck Mar- gery that she bad never seen the little room look so small and shabby before. The delicate gleam of Vane's; white gar- ments tontrasteh stropgly with her own dingy, dust-steined black dress, the placid beauty of Miss Charter's' • face hhellielt hack the thrill of pain to her heart. How different they werel Who WAS she, to compete with such a woman. She roused }wolf trent her thoughts es she met Vane's cote clear eyes watch- ing her. "I beg your partisan," she said quick - 1.Y, yet With unepeakable grace. "You have had a long drive; may I give you a cup of tea—or perhaps yeu would prefer some Milk ?" She toyed towar4 an inner room; but Vane stopped her. "Neither, thank you," elle replied cold- ly—she was growing more and more annoyed every moment. See was being treated with every courtesy, with all re- gard for etiquette, as though her host- ese were a duchess inatead of a common village girl! It was insupportable; she must hasten to break down that calm ex- terior which irritated tier beyond mea- sure. "Neither, thank youe: she repeated, "I shall not etay long. It is, as you say, a tedious drive; but my cousin, Stuart Crosbie, wished me to see you." She bent her head to look at her flounce, but not before she had, seen the girl's sliglit frame wince and her cheeks grow paler. "That shot went home!" she told her' Margery stood immovable, her hand still grasping the chair. A few moments before she had thought it impossible to suffer greater mental pain than she had endured; TIQW she was experiencing pangs edit greater, for her wound was being probed, Weak, faint from want of food as she was, she determiped to be brave, to stand firm before this woman —her rival. "1 scarcely know how to begin," con- tinued Vane, with well -assumed kindness and concern. "It is a delicate subject; yet I could not well refuse Stuart." She hesitated for an instant, then held out her well -gloved hand. "Miss Daw," she said impulsively, "will you forgive me' if anything I may say in the course of our conversation should vex you? I -would not indeed willingly eause you any pain." Margery's eyes were fixed on „the golden -tinted trees .beyond the gardeu: she did not notice the outstretched hand. "Why should you. cause me pain'?" she asked, in reply. "Th,ere ia nothing in common between you and me." Vane let her hand drop to her side; den pain, and her whole frame shake this girl's control? "I am glad you judge me rightly," she responded, "for I am and have been much distressed by ray errand. Stuart has asked me, Miss Daw to express to you his sincere sympathy In the loss you have sustained by the death of Mre. Morris. He begs nae to tell you that he trusts you will apply at the castle now that you are left without a guardian. He has enlisted his mother's good -will on your behalf, and he sends you this small sum to assist toward anything you may require." She held out a small packet as she finished, and had the satisfaction of see- ing Margery's lips twitch as with sud- den pain, and her IN. -hole frame shake' with passion beneath the insult, "It was his intention to 'write to you As far back as last Thursday," went on Vane, "but he had the. misfortune to break his right arm, and writing was impossible; therefore, as he though you would require some explanation from hint, he asked me to come." "1 thenk you," fell from, Margery's lips in cold strained tones. "Then I may "leave this?" Vane said Interrogatively, rising and placing the packet on the table, "And you will pro- mise to apply at the castle with respect to anything concerning your future? I believe, hut I am not sure, that Mrs. Crosble has already written to some Lady about a situation for you as maid." Mergery made no answer, and Miss Charteris waited a few moments, and then moved to the door, feeling strange- ly uncomfortable, and by no means vic- torious. She looked back as she stood at the door. "You have no reply?" she asked. "Mr. Croshie's explanittion requires none," Margery answered, still in the same cold even tones. "Then 1 will wish you good -after- noon." "S ta y I" cried Matgery ; and Vane turned toward her. "You have forgot- ten your packet," Margery added, point- ing to the table. , Vane took it, up without a word, Then a thought seemed to strike her, and she turned the money round and rotand in her hand, hurriedly. "Perhaps you will writs to Stuart ev to his ..nother?" Margery'e eyes met Vane's in an 'un- flinching gaze. she repeated, with urtutter- title scorn and pride in the word. "There te indes 1 little in common between us. uehg qtlesaion deseives no answer." Vane's browi contracted. She 'nrned and walked quickly to the carriage, and entering It, AVOVI swiftly away.

See bad succeeded and Rue- ecedel so well that she need never fear Margery Daw again; yet her spirit was vexed even at her victory, for, though she had forever /separated Stuart and thia girl, she had net lowered her rival to the dust, as she had intended. This thought rankled for some time; then her mind wandered to the more Im- portant matter of dealing with Stuart. She had no eettled plea; but, as he was Still ee unwell, there Would be a day ot two yet in which to arrange Matters.

The thougat of her lonelinesa had been bitter, her lover's felse vows had mudded in her breast; but the weight of Vanehi humiliating words cruelted her. It was A111104t great- er than she could bear, She tried to banish all tender recollec- tion of Stuart from her, to think of him only as the oue num who had darkened the glory of life for her, as the man who had pluckeel the .sWeet Masotti of her love only to trample it under foot; but she could not succeed.

She pushed the chair to the door -way and sunk into it. The- sun was sinking behind the woods; the air was oft and balmy—its touch seemed like a kiss upon Ler cheek. The musical note of a bird twittering its "good-night"emid the leaves, the bab- ble of the dietant Meek, soothed her. • She leaned her weary head against the door, and began to think. One idea stood out clearly — she ntust les,va Hurstley. She dared not even pic- ture to herself a future in the village where her eyes would rat on Stuart avail lug on that cold, cruel woman—where she must sit down beneath a repetition of insult that had already. roused her spirit tamest to raadness. No; there ,Vas no other course onen to her—she must go, and soon. Ah, if she could but rush away at once, and let the veil of dark- ness cover her humiliation! But whither and to•whom could she go? Reuben could not take her with him. Mrs. Bright would welcome.ber* for awhile; but she could not meet Robert—poor Robert! Like a flash of light in darknesa came the remembrance of Miss Lawson, and the letter from her sister. Would it be too late? It was not a week ago. This must he her chance. She too hurriedly, her limbs trembling, and tied on her bonnet, She would go to Miss Lawton at once; the place might -still be vacant; she might start perhaps in the morning! The thought lent her strength. She forced herself to eat some food, though every nerve in her body was quivering frora excitement. The simple viands, the glass of milk, seemed to ptit ..new life into. her; she left, a message for Reuben at the next • cottage, and started in feverieh haste for the rectory, losing all thought of fatigue in the rush of eager desire and hope that burned. within her. Miss Lawson was seated' at her win- dow, writing, when her eyes fell on Margery's figure eiming rapidly up the path. The governess noted the girl's pale cheeks, her worn look of pain, and her heart thrilled with sympathy. "Well, child?" she said, as the girl came in. "Miss Lawson—" began Margery, and then her rapid walk told on her, mad she had reeled to a chair. The governess rose, untied her bon- net, and held: a glass Of water to her lips. She saw at a glance that ono - thing was wrong; but she asked noquestious. "You have walked too quickly, as usual, Margery," was all she observed as she turned away with the glass. "I wanted to see you," murmured Margery, then, after a brief pause, she added slowly, "You remember what you said, Miss Lawson, that evening we parted—you would help met I have come to claim, that promise. 1 want—" , "Tell Inc what you want."

Margery felt the first thrill �f pleas- ure ishe had experieneed during during the long dreary day. "And stoone-1 may go soon?" she ask- ed. "TheAmmer the better—in fact, to. morrow, if you can be ready." "I Could be ready to -night," Margery answered, with a wee*, smile, pushing aside her curls.

And in the Plate of Duty Done, Beeide the Door of Home, You'll find the House of Happine.s,s— For Happiness does not roam. johneen. Flint, In Sunday School Tittles. • 4.4. MET HIM HALF WAY.

No bugs In greater number have ever Yet been found Nor looked upon with terror more by big folks and by small Than grouch bugs, whieh-are awful pests and come to ohe and all. They make us, oh, so cranky that we would like to yell And think of all the horrid things about our friends to tell, When other folks are smiling the grouch bug's victim mug; When other folks are dancing the grouch sick heave big, sighs. A great and noted doctor says the grouch bug is but found Within the torrid climate where heat waves will abound, And that the bug will never live in wom- an, babe or child; But always seeks a man's stout frame, and makes him cross and wild. But though I'm young I truly think that this is not Quite true, For well I know some little girls, and boys and ladies, top, Who have the awful grouches and get Quite fiercely mad, SO that they not like demohe who never can be glad, My daddy says the only cure which he would alwaya u$a For folks uto got the groaches, and other folks abuse, Would be to give a ducking, with water, freezing cold, So that they'd be so chilly they could- n't even scold. But for the kiddies of my age who let this bad bug in, Be recommends the touchini of peach limb to bare akin. /X Or Qr Cr Cr Or Ft ift.10 of sugar costs but little more than 1300r grade.

June 392 divorees were granted to the issuance of 3,850 marriage licenses. In other terms, there were more than one-tenth as many divorces as prospective marriages. Agaie, for twenty person$ who got so far aloug the line of courtship as to apply for the legal power to wed—a resolution frequently not carried out, as testified by the unused licenses—two persons finally and completely broke the tie the others ought to make. .

The late Archbishop Ryan, of Phila- delphia, says The Housekeeper, was a diplomat of the first order, and was pos- sessed of a full share of Celtic wit and kindly humor. Befere the Catholic Standard and the Catholic Times, were combined to form one publication there was inuelt rivalry and much controversy between their proprietors and readers as to which was the more truly xepresentative Ro- man Catholic organ in Philadelphia. Each sought eagerly to gain the official indorsement of the Archbishop. On one oceasion a prominent layman tried to trap him into a statement aa to -which of the two publications he preferred. 'Well, I will give you my opinion," said the Archbishop deliberately; "it Is certain that the Standard is far ahead of the times, and it ls equally certain that the Times is much above the standard. Therefore I prefer to regard as most worthy the one whieh is thus proved to be superior." di Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. HIS WORKLESS JOB. General Horatio C.

The history of the existence and opera- tion of the gulf stream, is that it haa its beginning in the Bight of Benin, a great bay on the west coast of equator- ial Africa, where there is a mighty eddy mused by the blowing of the winds frora the south and west against the coast, The current being started moves to tke eastward around the northeast coast of South America and through the Carib- bean Sea and the 'Yucatan pass into the Gulf of Mexie.o, where after circling around from southwestward to north- eastward and southeast it flows out through the Florida pass into the Aa - 'antic Ocean. Of coarse, not all of the tremendous current that Bowe out of the Gulf of Guinea under the equator enters our Mexican sea, for it great part Is diverted northward among the passes between the islands of the West Indian nrchipelagoa, but we get enough of it to make its temperature and current len- portant items to the navigators in our seas.—New Orleans Picayune- Minard's Llnment Cures Colds, Etc.
