As he pushed the coarse tobacco Into the.| bowl, he considered, ‘‘Thomas,” said he, “that aint enough. Things have changed, and !t wouldn't pay me. But I won't be hard on you. I'm @ good friend of yourn and I'll tell you what I'll do, If you will give me now all the things we spoke of between us—and I forgot to mention a cane and pooket handkerclfiefs—and give me, besides, that meerschaum pipe of yourn, I'll promise not to hinder you, but let you go ahead and git Martetta If you kin, T must say it's a good deal for me to do, knowin' how much you'll git and how little you'll give, and knowin’, too, the other chances she's got !f she SENTENCE OF BANISHMENT. “pO YOU WANT ME TO GO AWAY BEFORE BRPAKFAST?’ to go back to Drummondville early to- morrow morning. “ Her brother looked at her a moment. “Do you want me to go away before breakfast?” he said. “No," answered Marietta, “but imme- @ately afterward.” And in her mind phe ‘resolved that breakfast should be very early the next morning. If Asaph had any {dea of yielding he id not intend to show it until the last moment, and so he changed the subject. “Whi the matter with Betsy?" said he, “If she's out of health you'd better get rid of her. “There's nothing the matter with Bet- wey,” answered his sister. “Dr. Wicker came to see me.” “Came to see you!" exclaimed her brother. “What in the world did he do that for? You never told mo that you Is it that sprain in your ankle? “Nonsense.” sald Marietta, ‘I had al- most recovered from that sprain when you came here, ‘There's nothing. the matter with my ankle, the trouble is probably with my heart. The moment she said this she Pe- gretted {t, for Asaph had such a good ead, and could catch meanings so quickly. I’m sorry to hear that, Marietta, ald “That's @ good deal more serl- said she. And she turned and went back to the house. But as he walked, and watked and walked, and looked at the garden, and looked at the ttle orchard, and looked at the house and the top of the big chestnut tree, which ‘showed itself above the roof, a thought came Into his mind which had nover been there “be- fore—he was Marictta’s heir. It was a dréadful thing to think of his sister's possible early departure from th’ world: bat, after all, life is life, reality was Marletta’s only legal heir. But now everything had changed. It Marietta had anything the matter with hor heart there was no knowing when all that he saw might be his own, No gooner had he walked and thought long enough for his mind ‘to fuily appreciate the altered aspects of his future than he’ determined to Instantly thrust out Mr. Rooper from all connection with that future. He would go and tell him #0 at onc He had some trouble In finding Mr. Rooper, who had fone off to take a walk and atrange conversation with which to begin his courtship of Mrs, Himes, but he overtook him under & tree by the side of the creek. "Thom: paid he, “I have changed my mind about that business between us, You have been very hard on me, and I'm not goin’ to stand it. 1 can get the clothes and things, I need without makin’ my- elf your slave and workin’ myself to \ death, and, perhaps, settin' my sister agin me for life by tryin’ to make her belleve that black’s white, that you are @ kind of husband whe ought to have, 4 that you hate pipes and never touch irita, It would be a mean thing for me to do, and I won't do it. I did think you were a generous-minded man, with bhe right sort of feeling for them as wanted to be. your friends, but I have found out that I was mistook, and I'm not goin’ to sacrifice my sister to any stich person. Now that's my state of mind, plain and square. “But you don’t mean to go agin me, you. Asaph?” asked Thomas, rue- ‘ain't necessary,” replied the.other, *You will go agin yourself.” said he, presently, “It cuts Me to’ the in-ards to think that you back on me; but I tell you do, ff you will promise not hing agin me to Mrs. Himes, is reality, and business Is business. We wanted ‘em; but I'll do it for the sake “My meerschaum pipe!” groaned Mr. Rooper. “My. Centennial Exhibition pipe!’ His tones ware so plaintive that for a moment Asaph felt a touch of re- morse. But then he reflected that if Thomas really did get Marietta the pipe would be of no use to him, for she would not allow tim to smoke it. And, besides, realities were realities and business was business. “That pipe may be very dear to you,” he said, “Thomas, but I you to remember that Marletta’s very dear to me.” ‘This touchod Mr. Rooper, whose heart nsitive as it had never been be- fore. “Come along, Asaph.” he said. “You shall have everything, meer- schaum pipe included. If anybody but me is goin’ to smoke that pipe I'd like {t to be my brother-in-law.” Thus, with amber-tipped guile, Mr, Rooper hoped to win over his friend to not only not hin- der, but to help him, ‘As the twocmen walked away, Asaph thought thatYhe was not acting an un- fraternal part toward Marietta, for tt would not be necessary for him to say or do anything to induce her to refuse so ungsultable a suitor as Thomas Rooper. About fifteen minutes before dinner— which had been cooked with bits of wood which Betsey had picked up here and there—was ready, Asaph walked into the front yard of his sister's house attired in a complete suit of new clothes, thick and substantial in texture, pepper- and-salt in color, and as long in the legs and arms as the most fastidious could desire. He had on a new shirt and a clean collar, with a: handsome black silk cravat tled In @ great bow, and a new felt hat was on his head. On his left arm he carried an overcoat, carefully folded with the lining outside, and in his right hand an umbrella and a cane, In his pockets were half a dozen new handkerchicfs and the case containing Mr, Rooper's Centennial meerschaum. Marietta, who was in the hallway when he opened the front door, acarcely knew him as he approached, “Asaph!” the exclaimed, “What has happened to you? Why, you actually look lke a gentleman!” Asaph grinned. “Do you want me to go to Drummondville right after break- fast to-morrow?" he asked, “My dear brother," sald Marietta, ‘don't crush me by talking agout that, But {f you could have seen yourself as I saw you, and could have felt as I felt, you would not wonder at me. You must forget all that. to introduce you as my brother to any doctor or king or president. But tell me how you got those beautiful clothes. Asaph was sometimes beset by an ab- surd regard for truth, which much an- noyed him. He could not say that he had worked for the clothes, and he did not Wish his sister to think that he had run in debt for them. “They're paid for, every thread of ‘em," he Bald, "I got fem in trade. ‘These things is mine, and I don’t owe no man a cent for ‘em to me that dinner mui aid Marietta, who own such enini astlc affed her, "to sit down to the table with such a nice-look- ing fellow as you are.” > The next. morni a the lory of his new clothes he chestnut tree smoking entennial meerschaum pipe. himself was dressed best clothes, but he carried with ‘nn sald Asaph, “and have a replied the other, “I am goin’ .

By the way, that reminds me, says & writer In the New Orleans Democrat, of the fact that we frequently find cl- gars in this country which are labelled with the English coat-of-arms, just as the elgars are labelled which are made especially for His Majesty the King of England. Of course, they are not thy same cigar. It 13 simply a catch sys- tem. All the cigars that are made for crowned heads by Cuban manifacturers are bought by the men they are made for, and scrupulous care is exercised In the matter. The only men who ever get any of these cigars either get them on orders from royal personages, or they get them as guests of royalty. A par- tloular kind of tobacco {s used in the manufacture of these cigars.
