Dick—otherwise Lieut. Richard Rothesay Trent—stood om the hearth rug before his trate uncle, but did not look in the least like a culprit. Dick was a fine young fellow with dark hair and good dark eyes, @ tall well-knit figure and erect bear- ing only @ shade less military than the colonel’s. The nephew was handsomer than the uncle to whom he bore only a slight family resemblance, but Col. Rothesay had been @ fine looking man in his day. “I was afraid my engagement would not meet with your approbation,” said the young man, quietly. “You'd a’ grain ‘of common sense left, then,” interposed the colonel with a kind of indignant snort. “ssut 1 felt it wouldn't be the right thing to keep it dark,” continued Dick. “You have been as good as a father to me al- ways.

I know young fellows make fools of them- selves ‘and get into scrapes—rash promises and compromising letters and that kind of thing; but—er—it can be arranged, you know; all that can be—settled quietly; any- thing cam be squared with people of that class." “You mistake,” said Dick, flushing, with stern look on his comely young’ face; Effie Williams is as proud and delicate, as refined and pure minded and modest a girl as any duke’s daughter between the three seas! yes. and as weil brought up and well bred! Her father was a gentleman in reduced circumstances, and Mrs. Williams fs none the less a lady because she let some of the rooms in her house.”” This was too much for the colonel. “Did you ever know any scamp, thief, beggar, pauper or swindier who wasn't “gentleman in reduced circumstances” * he exploded, stuttering In his wrathtul cou- tempt. Some—come, sir, you're going rather far,” said Dick, preserving his good humor- ed ‘equanimity "with an effort; “I've heard but little of the late lamented Willlam but he was neither thief nor swindler: though, mind you, even if he had been daughter.” “Perhaps you'd like to take a wife out of the Foundling Hospital or the work- house?” retorted the colonel. “You are making the case out worse, much worse than it is,” said Dick with some displeasure. “The Williamses have certainly neither wealth nor p. they are thoroughly respectable than respectabie, well bred. ated gentle people, making a brave fight against poverty, which is their misfortune not their fault. For my part I know of noth- ing more worthy of respect.” ‘Phe argument continued for some time without the disputants coming any near: to an agreement, and ended by Dick’s observing stitfy that there seemed to be Ro use in prolonging the discussion. Dick Trent’s patience was not warranted to bear every strain; he chafed against the curb whi rd for his uncle placed upon his lips, and was anx- fous to bring the conversation to a close before he lost his temper. The colonel had lost. his and picked it up again. several times, but when Dick did fire up—which was fot nearly so often—it was a much more serious matter. When his nephew had left him the col- onel walked up and down the room irately. He was much more angry with the girl Who had “entrapped” Dick than with Dick himself.

His impatient mutterings suddenly ceased; his irritated frown softened. Twenty-three! He had been twenty-three when he was in love with Lucy Hastyngs. Yes, it was on his twenty- third birthday that she had given, him a rose and fixed it in his button-hole herself, and he had ventured to kiss the little white fingers the thorns had pricked. He had not thought of it for years. Why did such a trifle rush back into his memory now? ‘The colonel’s eyes—still bright and keen feel-blue eyes—were staring absently raight before him; they were fixed upon an elaborate trophy’ of weapons of all na- tions artistically disposed upon the wall, But he did not see the blades of curved shining steel. He saw the old-fashioned garden—the honeysuckle on the porch. He few, Lpey, Hastyngs coming across the lawn. Poor Lucy, he wondered what had become of her? Dead long aso: no donee He had known her as a child, and then lost sight of her until she had grown a lovel girl. His regiment had been ordered abroa: and he fone without making any defl- nite proposal of marriage to Lucy; but he thought she understood, indeed he was suf- ficiently sure that he had made her under- stand, his thoughts and his ultimate views to feel himself somewhat aggrieved when, on his return to England he found Lucy en- aged. And she had married the other fel; low, who some post in America, an‘ had taken his bride out there. Well, If was all, boyish folly young man’s’ romance. He had married Ellen Bartram, and they had lived very comfort- ably together, just as man and wife should do; to be sure it had not been the brightest or liveliest of homes, a home without chil- dren; their little boy and girl had died in early infancy, and Ellen had been delicate for years before her death. Still they had wot along very well together; he had been & good husband to a good wife; and Dick must do as he had done, marry into a good family. Yet, he hadn't forgotten Lucy! It Was this folly of Dick's that put her into his head today, but of course the cases Were entirely different. Lucy Hastyngs was a girl of good family; there was no possible parallel to be drawn. He had been, as no man need be ashamed of being, in love with a girl of his own class. Dick had fallen into the trap of some low-born, low- bred adventuresses; thus he classed the landlady and daughier. Dick—christened after him, “Richard Rothesay”’—his only sister’s oniy son, had been almost as @ son to him; he built great hopes, in fact the dearest hopes that were left to him in life, on Dick’s career. And was he to submit to seeing these hopes dashed to the ground. irretrievably ruined. by a boy's fancy for a girl's face? He wanted Dick to marry some girl of post- tion, the influence of whose family might be a help to the young man in his career. And here was the foolish boy wanting to throw himself away in a marriage which instead of a help would be a hindrance and ns a clog on his progress all is life. ‘What was to be done? Dick was deaf to reason. If neither threats, arguments nor persuasions would induce him to break off this lunatic engagement, there was no help. ‘The boy was too good to be thrown away. He was as fine, honorable, manly, straight- forward a young fellow as one would wish to see, thought the colonel relentingly—at least relenting toward Dick, but all the an- grier with the unknown Effie. Dick had not attempted to deceive his uncle by conceal- ing or misrepresenting the social status of his beloved; that scored well for him with the colonei/ But this very appreciatioa of his nephew's qualities made him all the more anxious to save the young man from the |“mesalliance” and all its attendant Now an idea occurred to the colonel, which appeared to him a bright one. If lamses, these people, these objectionable Will! knew that Dick had not a shilling but his lieutenant’s pay and an allowance from his uncle, and that the allowance would be i:n- mediately withdrawn if he married against his uncle's wishes, they might not be xo eager to hold him to his engagement; they Yrould in all probability be glad enough to let him go. No doubt they did not at all realize the position: they either were not fully aware of Dick's entire dependence on his uncle, or they Supposed the uncle would be as easily gulled and played upon, “taicen in and done for,” as the nephew, would con- tinue to provide for Dick, and carry out his intention of making him his heir. If they knew there was nothing to be looked for from him, not a penny either during his | lite or after his death, they would realize that they would do no good for themselves by landing the fish they had hooked. What would be the advantage to the girl of mar- rying a gentleman, if he couldn't put bread and ‘butter in her mouth? She would do much better with a man of her own class— say a comfortably off shopkeeper, and— well, the colonel thought, liberally, with a pleasing sense of his own generosity, he frouldn’t, ymind coming down handsomely in a we ing present to get is girl al Bed out of Dick's reach. iK are Now he began to see his way. He sla ped his knee and pulled at his favorite ‘haum with a more genial air than ad _worn since Dick had imparted his He would go down to Southbourne, see these people, and enlighten them as to Dick Trent's dependence on him, and his own attitude in the matter. If ‘they had any idea of “getting round the old uncle,” they should find out their mistake They might have made a fool of his nephew: they shouldn’t make a fool of him! thousht the colonel, who indeed did not look like a person to he trifled with. Having laid his plan of campaign, he proceeded to carry it out. There shilly-shallying with him: the act followed fast on the intent. The first. mornin; that he had at lelsure and was sure of 8 he did barrassed nephew on such an errand—he took. the train to Southbourne, and had no difficulty in finding his w: to Sea View. It was one of the row of houses, dull, ‘monotonous, deadly respectable-looking, which could not even boast of being semi-detached, and yet dared—as the colonel noted with critical disapprobation—to arrogate to themselves such desicnations as Rose Villa—Prospect Lodge—and so on. He would have liked to ere | find fault with the name of Sea View, but anyhow it was not so bad as its ‘next neighbor, Victoria Villa. The door was opened to him by a rosy, buxom young woman, looking fresh and trim in ‘a clean white cap and apron. He glanced at her for a moment half doubt- fully, wondering if this could be the object of his animadversion, the landlady's | daughter? then his eve fell on the cap and the “idea vanished. He inquired for Mrs. Williams. Yes, she was at home; would he be,pleased to walk this way? As he passed through the narrow hall, his sharp eye took note that the oll-cloth was faded, the stair carpets considerably worn, and the walls wanted repapering: | still the general aspect of the place was | clean and tidy. He was shown into a small room at the back of the house: evidently the front rooms were reserved for letting. He did not give his name. but desired the girl to tell Mrs. Williams that a gentleman wished to speak to her. While waiting, he | glanced _criticatly round the room.’ Its furniture was plain and somewhat shabby: no doubt the hest of the household chattels were put into the “le rooms; but there was an air of comfort about It, and everything was spot- lessly clean. It looked Ike a room that was lived in; there were flowers on the mantel- piece: a work basket full of work stood by the easy chair: there was a Davenport with some account books on ft, and some other lese businesslike looking volumes lay on the table. The colonel picked one up; {t wax a no’ he put it down disapprovingly.

She was a middle-aged woman, with threads of gray in her vrown nar and a few fine lines, the traces of old time's ruthless graving, about the corners of her eyes; but they were beautiful brown eyes still. She had a pale, care-worn, dal. ieate, still prepossessing face, and a that had retained its slenderness and grace of proportion, and would have beseemed ome woman still. Her plain | black dress, than which nothing could be simpier, fitted well and flowed in becoming folds. The colonel was standing with his back to the light, but it was full upon her face; and as he’ looked at her the impression of vague recognition grew upon him. Something in the contour of brow and gheek, AB, the expression of the brown eyes that were turned inquiringly to his, seemed strangely familiar to him. What was the reminiscence that stirred in him? to what picture. person, dream, was this woman e? “You wished to see me?” she said. That Foike, supplied the missing key to memory; it kin the silent train of long-sleeping and half-forgotten associations, and re- membrance flashed along them back—back —so far into the past.

Colonel Rothesay’s history “was soon given; he was not a man to be other than brief in his own biography; not now nor here would he fight his battles over again; a light touch on the campat which had been as the mile-stones of career, and marked its epochs—a half-inte: rosative supposition that Lucy had heard of his marriage? a brief mention of his widowerhood, that was all he had to tel Lucy at first seemed to have even less: it appeared that she too was widowed, had been left @ widow some ten years before, with one daughter, “whom he must see,” she added with a proud happy smile. “She will be in in a minute: I wonder if you will think she is like what I used to be?” “I shall lke to see her,” he said sincerely engugh. have heard of you now and then, Rich- ard,”Lucy went on in her calm,sweet friend- ly tones; her voice had not lost a sweet note of its old familiar music. “I have seen your name sometimes in the papers.” “But I have heard che 3 of you,” he replied. “If I had known where you wer I should have looked you up before.

You are not—not married again?” ‘Married again? Oh, no. Then you had not heard of Mr. Brandon's change of name? It was about three years after we were married; my husband's uncle, a very well-to-do merchant in Toronto, desired him to take the name of Williams, and promised to—to make certain arrangements if he would do so. So he consented, and my little boy—I had a baby boy then,” she gave an involuntary sigh, ‘was christened after his uncle, Anthony Williams, and my daughter is Euphemia, after her great aunt Williams. Uncle Anthony did leave a good deal of his property to my husband: but unfortunately he—he got Into difficulties; he was tempted to Invest in mines—to spec. ulate—we got deeper into trouble; and when my poor husband died there was nothing left for me and Effie; soT've had a hard fight to get along.

You? The uncle who—who— he was afraid—would not be pleased?” Her sensitive color went from red to pale. ‘The colonel had no answer ready. His mind was not one easily shunted from one track of thought to another. Being sud- denly thrown out of his line had the effect of a collision upon him. He gazed at Lucy Williams dumfounded. Before he had recovered his equilibrium sufficiently to reason upon the bearing and meaning of the changed aspect of affairs, there was the sound of the street door opening, a light step in the hall outside, and in a’ moment a young girl entered the room. “Here she is,” said Mrs. Willams hastily and some- what nervously The colonel looked up at the girl who stood before him, a slight, fair girl in a pretty, simple light walking dress and a little hat with cornflowers in it. And it seemed for the moment that he was looking at Lucy— the Lucy of his youth. The slender girlish figure, the brown hair shot with gold, the delicately molded features, the half-parted Ups, on which the rosy dawn of a smile seemed to be hovering. Yes, it might pave been Lucy's self, not the Lucy of tdéday, ded, aged, care-worn—yet somehow fil—but the bright young love of his youth, only brighter, rosier, fairer than even of old. ‘EMe, darling,” said Lucy a little tremu- lously, putting out her hand as if to draw the gitl near, “this is—is— “An old friend,” interposed the colonel, stepping forward: “An old friend of your mother He took the little hand which Efe gave him with a greeting none the less winsome for its touch of girlish shyness and held it while he looked searchingly on the fair up- turned face that smiled a welcome—what subtle instinct was it that gave the shade of halt timid, half confiding appeal to her smile? Her mother, who was manifestly ill at gase—although she kept up a cheerful, chat- ty tone as she asked if Effie had enjoyed her walk, and so forth—soon sent the young girl to take off her hat. Effie ran upstairs wondering who the distinguished visitor, who was an “old friend,” might be? For the colonel, although he was stout and griz- zled and his half century of years had left “a little bald Ret on the top of his crown,” was still a distinguished-looking man of fine soldierly appearance, and Effie liked that military stamp on man which was so plainly imprinted on this old friend of her mother's. ‘When the girl had left the room there was a moment's silence; then the colonel said wiy: ‘She is very’ like——" ‘Like what I was?” Lucy suggested rather ly. yee the old Lucy in you still,” he re- joined. “And so you are the Mrs, ‘Williams came here to see?” “And you are the uncle of whom we had heard! I had told Di—Mr. Trent—that he must speak to you, of course, not dreaming that it was you. I was afraid you would be displeased,” she said, in evident embar- rassment and anxiety. t seems that these young people have been plunging wildly ahead in their ideas,” he replied, not unkindly; “it’s time their elders had a word to say. We must talk this affair over—Lucy. ‘The result of their talking it over Lieut. Trent learnt next day. He had heard that his uncle had gone out of town for a day or two—he had no idea where—and being seized, as lovers are apt to be, with an acute ‘attack of longing to see his beloved, he determined, as he was off duty that afternoon, to run down to Southbourne and spend a few hours with his Efe. As he walked up to the house that en- shrined the object of his affections the door opened and the buxom maid came out, Ces aig Meg A tea errand, latch key t in hand. “At home?” said Dick pleasantly, as he met her on the doorstep. ‘Yes, sir,” with alacrity, “and there's the gentleman ‘there, too, sir,” with # smile as if this were a matter of some interest. Dick nodded and walked on past her into the house, passably indifferent to the pres- ence of “the gentleman,” whom he suppos- ed to be come after the drawing room rtments, if he wasted any thought at all upon him. With the familiar air of one well accustomed to the place, he walked on, toward the small famfly sitting room, where he knew at this hour Mrs, Williams and Effie were most likely to be. As he Teached the door, he heard from within the sound of voices and laughter—the trill of Effie’s rippling mirth, and the deeper notes of a man’s jovial tone: apparently en- Joying some excellent joke. As he opened the door the mingled odors of tea and muffins, yea, even the aroma of shrimps, saluted’ his "nostrils. A merry party of three were gathered round the family tea table. There was Mrs. Williams in her best Sunday array—there was Effie, looking her sweetest in a pink frock, with roses at her breast and in her hair;’and the third member of the trio—on whose plate Effie with sportive and insistant ospitality was depositing a buttered muffin—was—who but the autocrat, the Great Bashaw, his uncle: who was going to cut him off ‘with a shilling if he married that very Effie who was now 80 smilingly and joyously en- gaged in ministering to his—the colonel’s— creature comforts, Well, the colonel maintained his position Fallanily. He beat no retreat, not He ad said he did not care for Dick's “‘mar- rying money.” And he did not., He had said he would never sanction Dick's marry- ing beneath him—that is, marrying a girl of low birth and breeding; and he would not! But he need not wish for better family than that of which Lucy Hastyings game. And on the father’s side —well Hugh -Brandon—although the — colonel’s private idea, not published on the hous tops out of consideration for the widow’ feelings, was that he was rather a scape- grace—yet was descended from the Bran- dons of Brandon tle. The colonel cer- tainly regretted that his future niece-in- law's father had consented to take the name of a Williams—a nobody—a Yankee trader! (the colonel classed al} men, women and children on the other side of the At- lantic together in one sweeping definition as “Yankees")—but he was magnanimous enough to admit that the change of name was not Efle’s fault. He insisted, how- ever, that his nephew's fiancee should be resented to his friends, not as Effie Wil- ams, but as Hugh Brandon’s daughter: and Effie’s lover and mother, and Efe herself, were all too glad to get his con- sent to offer any objections to his terms. Dick and Effie were sauntering along the shore in the moonlight, beside a smooth and silver-shining sea—ds happy a pair of lovers as any on whom that bright cold moon looked down. Their elders—Dick's uncle and Effie’s mother—were sitting on a bench tn ® guiet and lonely corner of the esplanade. The mother’s eye was follow- ing her child—looking after the two slim erect young figures that passed like shad- owy silhouettes across the moonlight. The colonel’s eye was fixed on Lucy's” face, pale and fair in the tender light that veil: ed the marks of time and trouble, and left her strangely like the Lucy of old. Some- thing in the influences of the hour and lace had lowered the colonel's rather arsh deep voice, softenal the keen glance of his falcon eyes.

Music and modern the sea swishing softly on the shore had been whispering something to them while they, were silent, ‘ fi ee “The young people are happy, aren’t they, Lucy?” the Colonel sald at last. “Yes,” she answered gently; happy, thanks to you. “As happy,” he added, “as we might have been—if you would have waited for me till I came back from India? I wonder, Lucy— is it quite too late?" HE ARRESTED THE MUTES. ‘they are Hows Chicago Policeman Was Fooled by = ‘Couple of Gaming, From the Chicago Herald, It happened about midnight, and at the corner of Clark and Madison. Policeman Steve Rowan was standing near. He is @ handsome, agile fellow, a little proud of his buttons and his Irish birth, and he wants no man to swear in his presence. Two deaf mutes had come up from the fair ground and stopped for a moment at the corner before parting for the night, as one of them was to sleep at the Sherman and the other at the Brevoort. While they stood there, chatting about the events of the night, using the sign language uni- versally adopted by their fellows, two street boys came along and saw them. ‘The boys a moment later saw Steve Rowan and wanted to call his attention to the mutes; for the picture presented was very comical to them. But Steve had stopped, and didn't seem in a hurry to get down to the corner. Finally the boys concluded it would be a ood time to play a trick on the policeman. ch of them remembered he had som thing against the police force anyway, and here was the time to square it. So’ they stepped into the alcove made by Atwood’s front door, and began swearing at the po- liceman in a perfectly blood-curdling man- ner. They had both taken lessons in the gentle art of blasphemy, and each tried to show he had profited by the study. And they tried, too, to spice their wordy assault with some gleam of malice. re “You think you're some with your brass buttons, don’t you? You're a great, big blank stiff.” Officer Rowan looked down toward the corner and saw the two mutes standing there. He couldn't see the twinkling of their fingers, which would have proved to him it was not they who had insulted him. No one else was in sight, and he felt so sure it was they that he let them go for @ time. But he watched them. Presently the blast came again, and in terms more insolent than ever before. “T'll run youse in,” he shouted. Of course the two mutes could not hear a word that either Rowan or the boys said, and so they simply stood there and defied fate. When the abuse grew intoler- able Rowan made up his mind he would stop it. So he came down on the two sur- prised visitors, laid violent hands on them and dragged them across the street to the trol box. Two bad little boys followed im, much interested in the turn affairs had’ taken, The mutes tried to explain that they had. done nothing, but Steve would hear nothing of it—absolutely noth- ing. He took them to the station and re- ported them for using profane language in public, ‘They repeated their silent protes- tations of innocence. “Oh, youse could swear hard enough on the street” said Steve. “Youse can't do thing but make signs now.’ opt ‘they finally persuaded the sergeant that Steve was in error, as papers pro- duced showed them to be strangers and here simply in attendance on the congress for deaf mutes. And so they were given their liberty. But two little boys sat down on the steps’and laughed till the morning papers were out. — Babies Suffer From Thirst. From the New York Evening Post. ‘Well babies and sick babies, young babies and babies of high and low degree, babies fed on the bottle and babies fed naturally, may have water to drink in moderation if they want it, The water should be boiled and covered, not very cold, even warm if the child prefers it so. This is the opinion of a successful medicine man under whose treatment have come hundreds of babies. “So thoroughly,” says this authority, “have I become convinced of the great benefit de- rived from giving water to sick babies that I now order it in nearly every case with fever, and it is astonishing to see how the restlessness and many of the symptoms we are apt to attribute to the pain and fever disappear when it is freely given. “py freely 1 mean from one-half to two ounces immediately after or between the feedings. If given immediately after the feeding a similar quantity will, of course, be required. Time and again I have seen infants with measles, scarlet fever or pneu- monia, after a period of great restlessness, fall into a quiet sleep when a couple of ounces of cool water had been given.” From Life. ‘My, what a nice fat little boy ‘Golly, boss, dat ain't no fat; dat’s water- millon.” languages extra.
