loalher were sitting ia the garden- in the waning twilight gazing alternately at the gradually brightening stars and into one anothers eyes i tell yon it would be impossible for me to love another aa this was the millionth time lnur- ance had given her this assurance clara in all reason ought to have taken it for granted bat ihe gate her pretty- head a dodbtinjr shake saying with a sigh ekjat be too sure laurence dear the shimmer of her earls in the often ing light raised at the enthusiasm in laurences poetic nature 71 never can and never will i smear it t he exclaimed kissing clara by way of sanction to the vow dont dear he expostulated but too lata its naaghty to awear and if you broke your oath how dreadful it woald he 1 laurance would have repeated the aaeryatiok l with greater emphasis if claraa hand hadnt stopped his month there are many more attractive women than myself she said and one day you may see ooe laurance impatiently attempted to icerrupt but clara kept the floor c i yoa know she continued fin not at all intellectual and sometime when ycu udk of took and art it gefa a little tiresome la you i mean of course because i dont always quite understand youi laniance winced a little art and literature wece his hobbies and more than once when in his best vein he bad felt f annoyed at guding ctara not fully appreciative but there was this compensation the less she understood the more she admired and cake her all in all he wasnt quite sura he would care to have any change made in clara and when the two parted lautance repeat ed his vow sealing it with another kiss r but it ought to be earpkinwj before proceeding further with our btory that some months previous to the conversa tion just related laaranca cleveland and clara lowther had been secretly engaged at least they thooghtit was a secret although the fact was as well known as if it had heen proclaimed from every hoasetop in the pretty vil lage in which they resided which lay nestled in a valley among the camber land hilli- thcrf wasnt a sign of a reason we may add for any secrecy in the case nobody having any objection to the natch or the tight to make it if they had bat somehow lovers like mystery it adds we suppose they think to the romance of the thing when the fishing season came round laurance went to spend a few weeks wkh bis old college chum jack taylor iswly married and the owner of a handsome country seat and a trout stream of unrivalled fame jpraotically laurance was no great fisherman but so far as the poetry of the art went was in perfect sympathy with the sport at the end of the week lnarance began to feel a little bored jack taylor and bis wife were hardly out of their honey moon and were naturally anuch uken up with themselves laurance in consequence was left mostly to him- jcelf and- hie tejiend- not being of a bookiib tarn the apply of reading matter was rather scant f so laurance had nothing for it but the trouturenra but to fish for a week without getting a bite would have cooled even jobn bighfs ardour it quite disgusted laarauce cleveland and he was on the point of cutting short his visit when tutoring the boose one day after his ueoal tour of the brook he found mrs taylor in company with a lady who looked rouud at his approach i clara he cried advancing and holding ant both handa c how glad i- am to see you t 1 the lady drew back coldly without a sign of recognition while laurence stood amizedaud silnt 1 mr cleveland miss cole said mrs taylor introducing them i tbe astonishment of laurance was beyond expression miss coles face and 6gure were so exactly those of claia lowther that it was like dia mating his senses not lo believe it was the latter he saw before him and be would have set the thing down as a juice had he not observed as the lady rose in he introduction lhat sho was noticeably taller than clara and bad eyebrows a shade darker i i beg yonr pardon miss cole laurance stammered at first sight i took yen for a friend of mine miia clara lowther the likeness is simply perfect ah 1 yon know clara then said miss cole with a winning smile swe do look alike bat then we both bad the same grandmother whoa we are both said lo reaimble closely jessie cole had come to stay a month with her old schoolmate mrs taylor add laurance soon found a pleaaanter way to pass the time than fishing for apathetic trout miss cole with whom his acquaint ance grew rapidly proved meet agreeable companion when hebrcweb- ed bis favorite subjects ne wsa surprised ta find how completely her views coin cided with his own frequently she anticipated him with the selfsame comments and criticisms he bad been wont to mike himselfand the originality of which he would have claimed against the litersry world it was a dangerons tiring for clara lowther that every grace and charm she possessed was found in jessie cole and manymore besides laurance didnt all at once forget his vow to clara he straggled and that manfully to keop it but why didnt sho possess her eouaiua gift of mind or why had fortane not decreed that he shdald meet the utter first t the absent it is said are alwavi wronged at any rilejsjt seems fated so to be in claraa case v7 by rfty her image in the heart of laurance was more and more effaced by that of jessie cole till one day when the latter bad outshone herself lam auce coald retain himself no longer and clasping jessies handtn quivering accents declared bis iove and asked her to be his tbe band was not withdrawn and jessie with flushed and downcast face whispered a response which caused laurance to feel at once the hnppiest meanest and most miserable of men 1 the scene occurred at alonely spot on tbe bank of the tfoutstream whither tbe paitbadgone for a walk returning after the tapse of several hours they were met by mrs taylor ive an agreeable surprise for you she said to laurance after an exchange of looks with jessie what may i ask f theres an old friend of yonrs here miss clara lowther what i clara iere f cried jessie cole clapping her- hands and not seeming to notice the look f agony and fright that overspread the face of lanranee i must go and seek her at once youll find ber in yonr own room said mrs taylor and jessie was off like a flash laurance woald have beaten an inglorious retreat had he seen the way clear but there was no help for it he must await the bunting of the storm in a oonple of minutes a light step came tripping dowji the stairs and with the old familiar smile 01am came forward to greet ber quondom lover lanranee felt hat sorf of relief experienced by the eulprit qn the scaffold to whom at the last instant temporary respite comes the evil moment he believed was t least postponed for there had not been time for an explanation between iho cousins but hia hopes were of short dara- hon so youve been making love to jessie cole f was claras first siluta tion eaurancs was speechress never mind youre perfectly wel come to have her clara added whb a merry ringing laoh ia which mia taylor heartily joined 1 there was something so different in all ttis from wiat laurance bad dreaded that curiosity prompted him lo raise his eyes surely they did not deeetve himl clara bad on- che very sane dress jessie had worn on their recent walk and here had been- no time for a change a flood of light broke on laurance ah you roge 1 he cried ft was yott all the time hen the respoosd was another langb frqm tbe ladies but tbe addition to your height and the darkness of tbe eyebrows quired laurance high beeb and a little pencilling afford the explanation was claras answer on the subject of books ana authors she added ponly paid out- a little of your own coin by repeat ing some of tbe things i heard you say so ofteri to sum it all up i entered into a itue plot with my friend mrs taylor to see if yon eouldut be made to break your vow bat i diafnf break il asseited laurence stonily what do yoir lb ink reader was he

the lower animals children are not naturally cruel and it only requires a little care ful guiding by their parents to cultivate a urindly disposition ia them then shame upon parents who neglect ithii duty we do not admire a chicken- hearted person but we do like to see boy or girl who can pass an animal without giving it v blow who can step over not onja little insect who neither is afraid nor ashamed to lake a little ooe by the hand and lead it over the rough places instead of pushing it aside with an nokioj word nd rough loach but wtut a rare thing it is to see children whb are net cmel they seem to take deliglit in not merely killing but torturing every little beast that comes under their notice teasing and hurting children yoooger and weaker than themselves bet taking good care to avoid those of their own sire and strength thus culti vating a cowardly nature boys should be taueht to consider such conduct unmanly and therefore beneath them if this is neglected what can yon expect your children to grow to be why cowards of course lioe to it parents teach your children to be kind teach them to assist and protect the weak if possible instill into their minds a dash of
