Just then Lula entered, rosy and radiant from walk on the cliff in the sharp October wind. For a wonder she did not laugh at us, but spoke in unusually gentle tones. “What! going up to town, mother? Why don't you use the telephone?” No one seems to know how,” said mother, very stiffly, “Let me try,” said Lulu, blushing a little. “I used to try It up at Kate's last summer.” We forgot our animosities, and followed her to the instrument. She rang; there was an in- stant response. She conversed with ease with every one she asked for, and bade the last one good-by with the air ot a princess dismissing a favorite page from an audience. We all looked with respect upon her, and she blushed, as was her habit—she was so pretty when she vlushed— and modestly offered to take charge of our tele- phonic communications with the outer world. “I certainly shall not bother with it,” sald Missy. “Nor I,” said Nan. Jane and I sald nothing, but looked agreement. “Very well,” said mother. in the house more.” Lulu blushed again. Aunty said nothing. She was plainly dying to hear the mysterious sounds conveyed through the receiver, but as plainiy she was afraid to touch it. ‘The arrangement was satisfactory, and peace and content reigned. Lulustaid more at home, and mother was better satisfied. We had grown aceustomed to haye an almost continual tap-tap- ping in our ears. It bored us elder ones, with our books and our studies, to be always watch- ing and counting for our own call, but restless Luin did not mind being kept on the alert. W— “It may keep you | actually began to take great comfort in it, using it for all sorts of trifling messages, the only drawback being that Lulu had to. know every- thing, for we one and all adhered to our resola- tion never to have anything to do with it. Aunty at first hovered ‘about Lulu when she went to send a message, but finding that she called up all her girl triends and held Intermina- ble chats, of which aunty only heard the “whats?” and “oh! and “ahs!” and “you didu’ts,” and “what did he says?” she too lost interest, and stepped superintending it, except on oceasions of her owa. We would all be sitting in the library, Missy painting, Jane, Nan, and [ readin, writing, studying, aunty nodding over a bouk, Lulu restlessly skimming a novel, with the kitten on tap-tan-tap-tap.” “That's four, surely,” says Nan.

All that day and the next she was very nervous, red and pale by turns, and flying to the telephone every second, imagining continual calls. Two more days passed. Lulu would not go out, thongh mother told her, as she nad now learned to use the telephone, we were independent of her. Lulu “did not care to go out,” she said. | She took a book and sat In the hall, but no one saw her read. She could scarcely eat her meals for flying up to listen at the telephone. She was the first up in the house, and the last to go to bed. She grew pale and thin, “That awful night preye upon her,” said aunty. On the fifth day mother sent her out -on an errand. Lulu, usually so glad of an excuse to goout, tried to shirk it; she begged off. For days she had lost all her pretty blushes, but she now blushed furiously. Mother was inflexible, and Lulu went. About half an hour after she left, the tele phone bell rang. Mother arose in her peculiarly dignified way and went to the instrament. This Was @ novelty to us, so we all followed her; and, as T have since learned exactly what ape then heard, I will put it down here In its right place: “What is i aa said mother, It is that Macartney of Dannemora?” sald a voice. es,” said mother.

Mother cried out for Lulu; she raved; she stormed. Bit by bit we pleced the story togethér—Frank Somerin- dyke had been making love to Lulu through the telephone! We,had asmauvais quart Cheure be- fore Lulu came in, breathless, panting, by the back door, No wonder the child was so eager to et back to the telephone. “Lulu!” began mother, in'an awfu! tone. But before Lulu had time to be frightened, or even to blush, the front door opened, and handsome Frank Somerindyke stood before us.

I love her with all my heart, and, please God, I can make her happy if you will give her to me. I beg your pardon if I have sald what was unbecoming to you; and Tthink if you will forgive me and say yes, Lulu will too.” “Indeed I will,” said Lulu, springing to him, and nestling in his arms. We all stood eagerly gazing; we had never seen a love scene before, except on the staxe, and aunty was weeping with sympathy and ex- citement: Mother was taken by surprise, touched, softened. She thought of Frank's words, “Our love will bridge the Dyke,” and the bitterness of years died away in an instant, herown fine humo® coming out as her great heart warmed toward the pair of happy, naughty children. “I suppose,” she said at last, “as you re- marked to me just now, you would like to hear my sweet voice say ‘Yes,’ so I say it.” ‘And Just then the telephone bell rang, SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

Justice Foote’s frown changed toasmile “Aha, you rascal!” said he. seizing his little danghter and seating her on his knee. “So you came to see me just while IT am hard at work, did you, and you slipped up behind me and tried to scare your old pap? Ah, you!” and he gave her @ great hug. Clerk Clinien poised his pen, ready to record the fine; the lawyers took thelr seats with a smile; the prisoner was left alone before the bar. She looked at the little child and passed her sleeve over her eyes. For five minutes the old head and the young head nodded at each other, while irom two red lips came a wonderful story of “oh! such fun at the park! and how funny the deers looked!” ‘Then a bright ten-cent piece was produced trom the Justice's pocket and put into a little hand. Then came along, hard hug, and the little girl skippedaway, shouting good: bye as she went through the crowd. When Justice Foote turned his face toward the court room there was spread over it a simile that would have graced the countenance of a saint. “Where was I?” he asked, as he rubbed his glasses and looked down at the sheet. “Oh, yes, this drunk and disorderly case.” Then he looked at the prisoner. ‘You look like you might have been a decent girl once,” said he; I will xive you one more chanee. ‘The prisoner is dis- charged. 29+ The Sharp Carving Knife. From Harper's Bazar. It is understood that at the next meeting of the British Association the question of the ex- istence of a Sharp Carving Knife will be thor- sshly discussed, and in all probability a com- mittee will be appointed to investigate the mat- ter. The universal incredulity which has hitherto been expressed by Scientific Persons as to the existence of a Sharp Carving Knife is of course due to the fact that no Sharp Carving Knife has ever been recognized and examined bya Scien- title Person. The evidence as to its non-exis ence Is therefore of a purely negative character. There is nothing in the manners or customs of Nature which renders it intrinsically improbaple that such a thing as a Sharp Carving Knife should exist. There are dull razors and sharp razors, dull penknives and sharp penknives, dull hanting kni rp bunting kni Why, then, in y fact that dull carving knives exist, should not Nature have created Sharp Carving Knives? Of course the answer to this is that while sharp razors, penknives, and hunting knives are common, the Sharp Carving Knife, if it exists, Is confessedly ex- tremely rare. Still, those who believe in its ex- are not arguing in behalf of any such ab- surd proposition as that it is eommon. Although no Scientific Person has seen a Sharp Carving Knife, there are presumably honest and intelligent observers wio claim to have seen it. In the beginning of the sixteenth century the Bishop of Spalatro published an account of a Sharp Carving Knife which he had seen in the archbishop’s palace in Venice. He described this kni ‘y much the appearance of an ordinary carving Knife, but asserted that he saw it cut chickens, roast-beef and ham with first inclined to think sus vision, but the vd_him that it was al Knife, and that it had been in r twenty years. Twelve other men besides the bishop saw fhe Sh: that the Knife was a mir tbishop assu Knife—so he alleges—“whereat the marveled and crossed themse! no reason to suppose that the shop wan- tonly told what was not true; but it must be confessed that the e: ot the alleged Ven- etinn Sharp Carving Knife rests willy upon hi uns' rted testimony, and not one of the many other men who must have seen it, had it existed, has left any record of the fact. The next allezed appearance of a Sharp wf Knife was in 1822, when one is said to Ca have been seen by the keeper and suests of a private hotel in Queen Street, London. — These persons, twenty two in number, certify in writing that in their presence, on the 12th of. July, 1822, Mrs. Sinith, the keeper of the hotel, carved a spring chicken with perfect ease with a knife which was recoenized by every one present to be a Sharp Caryiny: Knife. The knife in question was further certified by Mrs. Smith herself to have been bought of a peddier, who represented it to be an ordinary carving knife. ‘This testimony seeins expl'cit, and at first sight quite convincing. When, however, we inguire what became of this Sharp Carving Knife, we find no answer. One would have supposed that all the Scientific Persons in England would haye rushed to ex- amine it, that It would have been exhibited at a guinea a head to thousands of wondering housekeepers, and that it would have been bought, without regard to expense, by the Brit- ish Museum. But it seems tp have disappeared as quietly and completely as, the Venetian knife described by the Bishop of Spalatro. This ts certainly very strange, and it can not but throw doubt upon the whole story., In 1841 a Sharp Carying’ Knife was seen in Babylon, Long Island, Mrs. H. G. Raynor had bought a carving knife from Messrs. White & Thompson, of No. 812 John Street, in this city, and on attempting to carve a piece of roast beer, found, to her unspeakable aytonishiment, that It was sharp. Three boarders—Judge Milliken, the Rey. James Williams, and Mr. T. H. Mc- tonigle—all testified fhat they saw the knife, and that it was a genuine Snarp Carving Knife. It is asserted that this knife was preserved by Mrs. Raynor for nearly three years, when it was stolen by some person unknown. None of the witnesses is now alive—Judge McGonigle, the last survivor, having died in 1859—but they were all persons of veracity and respectability. Their testimony is entitled fg careful considera- tion, and unless it can be rejected, it establishes the fact of the existence of the Sharp Carving Knife. There are countless stories of the appearance of Sharp Carving Kniyes at watering-place hotels. ‘These, however, are entitled to no weight. Some ot them are the invention of newspaper writers in search of startling sensa- tions, and others are evidently mere advertising tricks. Perhaps in some cases the stories were true; they come to us in such shape that no Sclentific Person would think them worth in- vestigating. The testimony of Mrs. Raynor and her friends should, however, be carefully Inves- tigated, as well as the curious story of the appearance of a Sharp Carving Knife in Queen Street, London. ‘There Is among all men and women a con- stant expectation ot some day meeting with a Sharp Knife. The desire for such a knife is universal, and ts one of the stron; passions of the race. It would be a com- fort to millions of people were the British Asso- elation to decide that the Sharp Carving Knife does exist. If ithas been seen only once, it may be seen Can If it apy to Mrs. Raynor and to the Bishop of Spalatro, it may again appear to any one of the unhappy house- holders who daily suffer the agonies of carving with a dull kuife.
