It was not the face of a happy man. He looked at the big, well its array of big looking down the center of the floc ‘ones beside the windows: of fare from which he had just ordered his breakfast, at the flowers in the vases, and then at those blooming among the rockeries out in the bit of a quadrangle, which he supposed the hotel people were pleased to call a garden, and then he heard a girl's voice outside under the : “Oh, Tom, we can't go out y Imust write home to-day. I've never written a word since—since Tbursday,” He could not see Tom, but he heard aman laugh, a conscicus sort of laugh, followed by the fizz of # fuzee and the odor of newly- lighted tobacco. The girl who had spoken sat at a little table facing the window, a pretty, fresh-colored, silly-looking miss, evidently just out of the school room, and as vain of the brand-new rinz upon her left hand us it no one but herself had ever worn the badge of matri- mony before. “Marri sald Liddell to him- ing his eyes from the fresh-looking face ot the girl (who, as yet, was not writing home, vut, resting her elbows on the table, ap- peared to be contemplating her Tom with fond, adoring eyes) to the only persons besides him- self in the room, a late couple, who were eating their breaktast in silence and with a timid air, as If they were not quite sure whether it was the right thing to have breakfast or not. “What the devil did I come here for?” said Liddell irritably to himself, as he looked out of the window again. our breakfast is served, sare,” said a smooth voice at his elbow.” He turned to the table with a dissatisfied sigh and seated himself. Weil, after all, breakfast was acomfort. There were fresh strawberries J room, with i and a savory omelet which preved to be as good | as it looked. Liddell helped himself again to it, and just then the sound of fresh voices made him turn his head toward the garden once | more. “More honeymooners,” he thought in disgust” “The place is simply infested with them.” But the pair out in the garden were neither fond and toolish nor ablectly timid, and Liddell was interested—deeply interested—in spite of the indisputable fact that a good omelet ia bet- ter hot than cold. cried the husband. “Pussy, pussy, pussy!” called the wife.

A charming girl, he pronounced tall and straight as an arrow, with good #ray eyes and smooth, shining brown hair. He saw that the feet under tne hem of her white serge gown were smail and smart, and that her hands were slender, but well shaped and firm. And ob! how she did remind him of what he had been trying to find, or to forget, for more than three ong and weary years! As forthe man, he was young, big, soldier- like and clad in’ gray garinents’ ma’ching in lightness his wife's pretty serge frock. Truth to tell, Liddell was not particularly interested in him, apart from the fact of his being the hus- band of so charming a wite. Presently they sauntered into the saal and seated themselves at the table the timid couple had vacated. 7 “Give me the paper, please Scott,” sald she. Now it happened that the Times of the pre- vious day was at that moment under Liddell'’s elbow, and he presented it to her with a bow. “Oh, thanks! but realiy I did not notice that you had it,” she said, looking at him with her clear gray eyes—dangerous eves they were. “I was not reading it, indeed,” heassured her, which was true enough, for te had read every word of it the previous day “Well, L will look at it til! you finish your breakfast and ours comes,” she said, smiling. She sat with her pack to the window, her face hatt turned to him, her left hand resting on the back of a vacant chair. Her husband, on the other side of the table, was very busy balancing a knife on his forefinger. After a few minutes | of perfect silence the little fresh-taced girl out- forgetting that there were peop!e in the began reading her letter aloud: My Deanery MorHer: We reached Rotterdam quite safely on Friday morning.

But Fritz says not —he says it is a splendid affair; that there is a Sages | lady singer quite an attraction.” “oh, Fritz—yes,I daresay”—contem ptuously. For a few moments there was silence in the large room; then the husband of the charming xirl, who had taken Liddell’s not very easily pleased fancy, broke It. “i say, Baby,” he said abruptly, “suppose we go up as far as Gouda this afternoon by rail and look at the windows.” Liddell threw down his paper and strode ont. into the garden, his heart In his mouth, aud all his misery back upon him Ia tenfold force. The fresh-faced girl and her “Tom” had disappeared, d Liddell flung himself down upon the near- est bench and wished flercely that he were dead r that he had never been born. Was it three rs or three centuries azo that he had ad- dressed just such a girl by that very term? ‘Oh! Baby, Baby, Baby!” he groaned. “Where have you hidden yourself all this long, weary, eckening time? Shall I never tind you again?” A long time he sat there, till, indeed, the blis- tering heat of the sun sent him indoors for shel- | ter, and when he reached the saalit was empty. ott and Baby were gone. In looking back upon that day, Liddell always thought of it as one of the longest and most dreary lie had ever spent In his life. The t was intenser, aud when Rotterdam is hot, it is hot—there is never any mistake about It: the clean, white streets that morning were sim- white houses and the bright windows and beat. upon the spotless pavement until they posi- tively scorohed the feet of passers-by. Liddell found his way up to the dusty Zoo, where an unfortunate Poler bear was panting his heart out, and tropical animals were laid about their dens in evident enjoyment. He saw, but was not much gratified by the sight—for he was not at that time In the frame of mind to be pleased by tritles—the most wonder- ful thing in monkeys the clyilized world contains—or, at least, so they said at the Rotterdam Zvo. I know not whether it be now living or dead, but a year or two back there was an orang-outang in those gardens, the oldest, quaintest little creature possible, sweet-tempered and lively, with soft tur of light stone color, and the wisest little dark face in the world, just like the face of a little old man. It was there then, the wonder and the pet of all; but Liddell, as I have sald, was not much gratl- fied by the sight of it. sauntered back to the town, looked in at the Groote Kerk in disgust at the whitewash and the hat-pegs, dawdled along the Boompjes, and atched the different sorts of oraft plying up and down or ne at anchor in the river, and then, finding that he had reached his hotel, he went in and called for brandy and soda in sheer desperation, and for want of anything else todo. From friendly Fritz he obtained all the informa- tion he wanted concerning the cafe chantant, und then he asked the name of the people who, like himseJf, intended to go there that evening. “Er—a lady in a white dress—tall—er—and the gentleman upset the cat into the water Fritz grinned at the recollection of it. “Oh, yee, sare: Captain and Mrs. Laurie; the gen: tleman is gficter—1 don't know what regi- ment. Presently he saw them arrive in a cab, and then they passed through the garden to the little side stairway leading to the upper floors. So they had come back! Fritz told him that they had bought a lot of old plates at Gouda, and seemed to think they had been one done. Liddell felt as sorry as if he hi been done himseif. ‘The dinner was not so good as the breaktast had been, and before the long service had come to an end the Lanries slipped away, and Liddell immediately followed their example. He pre- sently found himself in the cafe—a large low room, with many little marble-topped tables,and more unsteady iron chairs—on one side a stage, and on that stage a young person rejoicing in the name of Neilie d’Arlington, who, dressed in a short and scauty scarlet frock, held a golden skipping-rope in her hands, and sang, in a shrill and utterly unmusieal voice, a music-hall song of which the refrain ran— Ow, me It-tal daarriing! It was true that she conld dance and to perfec- tion, yet Liddell looked to see what effect the | performance had upon Mrs. Laurie. laughed a little, but iaughed yet more when a | fat contralto in greeu satin, emerald green, gar- nished lit with red roses, came forward and san i itvrous encore from the ‘hh toa man shouted her ame repeatedly the moment she ceased sing- But she inturn gaye place to a weakly nor with a thick bare throat. pst Jane, my a y—hy—hy, hy —hy my InbeL Ine in the e¢—ee—cev'ning When the bivo—vo—oom 1s 00 —-00—0n the rye.

Lid- dell would have followed them, but remember- ing there was nothing but bed for hin If he went back to the hotel, stayed just for the next song, Ison—the attraction spoken c - roar of applause which greeted the Eng- sh ballad-singer caused Liddell to look back at the rough audience; then the first notes of second time that day Liddell felt a great knot creeping up his throat, a black mist gathered betore him. He turned his dimmed eyes to- ward the stage and saw a vision! A vision? Oh no, areality of tlesh and blood; the reality of great blue pleading eyes; the reality of a mouth that had been kissed hundred of times, bat with oh!—most painful reality of all to see—the face he had loved all his life bearing the cruel stamp of poverty and pain. So much for the singer: and what of the song? As the program had promised, a ballad; it was the song Liddell had been used to cail his in the unforgotten days wh to singer or listener any more; a brave and gpir- ited Border ballad, sung without bravery or refrain which made her stolid hearers move their solemn heads to and fro and tap fat fingers ingt fat knees In ‘ure and sympathy; twhich told Liddeil’ st-beating heart that, whatever had been the cause of their parting in | the bygone days, she had not deserted him for lack of love.

King 0’ the Hicland hearts, Bonnie PrinceCharlle, When he had watched het off the stage, Lid- dell got up and stazzered out into the soft night air. Behind him he heard the noisy applause and loud calls for ‘Home, Sweet Home.” Would she come? Yes, thesweet voice stole out again, and the cafe was hushed to silence in a moment; he could have sworn that tears were standing in the dark-set blue eyes; he could hear them in every one of the dear familiar notes. He clenched his hands hard and tried to recall the past with calmness. Be it ever so humble, ‘There’s no piace like home. Unmistakably was it the cry of a homeless woman. He could not understand it. More than three years before she had given him up, he who loved her more than all else that the wide world held. She had deliberately lost her- self, so that until this very day he had never been able to find even a trace of her. And now that he had by a mere chance, through the wer of attraction of a strange woman, who faa recalled her more vividly to his memory than any one had ever done before—now that he had found her, he had found her—how? As a singer In a Dutch cafe chantant. Oh! it was hard, it wasthe most cruel blow that had ever fallen upon the man tn all his thirty-and- two years of life. He never hesite . even while he stood under the sur or night sky battli with himself: ‘would’ wait; he would make her explain ne way or the other. After this night uncertainty and doubt would be at anend, and he would be either in Paradise or In hopeless weariness which would last until his life's end. Yes, he would wait; and pres- ently she came out, not through the cate, but by a private door, and passed him by without a look. But Liddell strode after her and touched her shoulder. ‘Baby” he said. The girl started violently, and stood staring at him. “Charlie!” ube exclaimed. Liddell took hold of her hand very tenderly. “Oh, Baby! how could you sing my song there” “Have you been there?” shivering. “Yes! Shall I tell you frankly why? Because Isaw at my hotel tlils morning a lady who re- minded me of you. I went just for the pleasure of looking at her. And then I saw you and heard, well—-" Trying to keep the triumph- ant ring out of his voice, and succeeding very badly. ‘Well, heard as plainly as your voice could tell-me that it was not because you did not love me that 1 got that cruel letter three years ago.” “Ch, no—it was not that,” half turning away from him and looking through the night to the Nghts twinkling along the river. “Then why was it? No, I will not let you go until you have told me,” as she tried to draw her hand trom his. “Then I will tell you,” she answered, “and then you will be cured, thoroughly and effec- tually cured, of any love which may yet be lin- [aed in your heart for me. You know that I all my life with Aunt Mary?” Yes, and when she died you threw me over.

From the Cincinnati News Journal, March 16. “The fact has Just leaked out that Mr. W. L. Mallory, who fell dead in a Cincinnati Northern railroad car on his way to his home in Avondale, Monday evening, was slowly killed by inhaling the nauseous fumes of the deadly cigarette and the villainous cigar. At least, his heart trouble, which had seldom given him any uneasiness, was so aggravated by the suffocating smoke in the car that he died after breathing It a few mo- ments, and two other men, whose names could not be ascertained last night, fell in fainting fits. The ‘accommodation” on the road is a little bob-tall car, with only one compartment, into which men, women and children are all jammed together. Until a few weeks since two cars or one large car with a partition were used. One-half of the latter was intended as a smoker for gentlemen. Under this arrangement lovers of the weed could take It easy and smoke at their convenience. When this car was taken off there was great odjection, and many patrons ot the road filed thei: protests. When Mr. Mal- lory boarded the tra'n he was in robust health. The car was crowded with men and women. Many of the men were smoking. The windows were all down, and the smoke was so dense in the coach that it could be cut with a knife. Mr. Merriweather, thetea merchant, was on the train, and gives a vivid description of the scene. To a News Journa: reporter who questioned him he said: “The atm: eee car was stifling— suffocating. My wife was with me, and we were seated behind tw. young men who were smok- ing cigarettes. ‘They puffed out the smoke in immense volumes, and my wife began to get sick. I went ur in the forward part of the car, and a couple of zentlemen offered me thelr seat, which I accepted for Mrs. Merriweather. It was the seat we vacated that Mr. Mallory and another gentieman occupied, so that they got the benefit of the same smoke that made my wife ill. It would be hard to describe the fatimosphere fa the car. When Mr. Mallory fell over ard was -in- his death strug- gles his companion on ‘the spat. who was also affected by the nauseous air, fell in a dead faint.
