Mr. Levi’ pricked up his ears. “Hullo! somebody has got the start of me,” he thouxht, ruefully. “Who the deuce can it ber” “Weil, I don't mind giving you £150 for 1t—and Perhaps you've something eise it may sult me to uy,” he sald, With a giance round the studio, torn fn his affairs would come, He had married | “What's thist” he added, going up to a large ying lady possessed of more beauty than e: in fact, Mrs. Megtip’s marriage portion of just paid for the furnishing of the 4 studio at Kenstngton, where the young aple began housekeeping.

Michael Angeio hesitated. He would rather Levi had the picture than Zerubbabel; but it seemed hard that ie should make no present profit out this—his best work. Every penny of the £300 Would be swallowed up in getting ciear of that un- fortunate bill of sale! “Give me a week to think ft over,”he sald at last, turuing abruptly round to the dealer. In doing so he caught lis foot in the support of the easel, and the picture fell heavily to the ground “Good God, what have you done!” cried Mr. Levi.

It 13 a fact that young ladies in the various cotumunities have many ways of handling their topgues, and In some instances unanimity makes certain movement characteristic. People who have sat next to Wesleyan College girls at a musicale will bear witness to the fact that thelr tongue movement ts never in extension, but vibratory, like the concert of grenadier biack- ‘birds late in the fall. On the other hand, the Atlanta girl talks fast, and as she gasps for breath in the periods where Sie fears interruption trusts her tongue out to Its full length and begins the next sentence with “and,” which is thrown in a8 a claim upon your attention. The dear little Savannah girl rattles away like infantry in a pitched battle, and intersperses her conversation with laughter, during which she throws her head back as if to have her tonsils examined, and lets the musical member sag in its socket. The girls of ones and Albany are very much alike in many things; among others, in the way they conceal their tongues. ‘hey smile and con- verse gently, and the ripple of their laughter is like the sound of @ brook running on pebbles hid under ferns and clinging willows, Bue not a glimpse of woman's weapon do they permit.
