barely covered a huge frilled cap she wore a bright brown wfg set a little awry over her forehead and massive green ipeotacles sei astride of l her now while brown cotton gloves adorned her hands and a green umbrella carried under the arm threatened with its bras ferule the e ch of whosoever was rash enough to crowd her movements in the rear aunt fenys self as i uve and breathe i echoed bruce slontmartin charlie if i were you id run for it drop her in the gutter and make off with joqrself suggested another young exquisite superciliously stroking down his moustache but charles early had too many gentle man instincts to pay any heed to the waggish hints of his companions he step ped forward chivalrously allow me to carry your basket for you maam he said i am the brother inlaw of your niece mrs early oh you be eh croaked a feeble voice from under the cap frill well you may take my umbril and basket and heres a paper o gingerbread i fetched along far lunch and a bottle o root beer

the fellow called em if i remember rightly its all right maam i assure yoasaid whole no 479 i yes but why why did i assume that odious disguise you would say just to try your sterling worth and native chivalry charles i somehow fancied that the young man who was pohte and attentive to a bent old woman would have in him the staff for a good and noble husband and and may i be your husband stephanie demanded mr charlie promptly deducing a favorable inference i m think of it said stephanie laughing and blushing at all event charlie i like yon ten times better since i have seen how devoted yon were to the poor old woman in the muff colored cloak l upon my word stephanie you ought to havt been an actress 1 said mrs early archly all tbe worlds a stage quoted steph anie and i have only performed my part henceforth i relinquish the profession so yon are going to marry my aunt stephanie eh said josephine as she met her brother in law in the hall after a lengthened interview with his fair- haired

precisely mrs earlj had followed her tall brother- inlaw to the front doorsteps with the fresh wind blowing her bright hair about her face and a scarlet shetland shawl drawn pictoresguel around her shoulders a pretty woman with something of matronly dignity subduing the arch mischief that sparkled in her merry eye- mr charles early was a stalwart hand some 3 oang man with blue eyes and light brown hair shadowing a fair open forehead it was almost pleasant to look into with nothing of irresolution or effeminancy about it and consequently charles early- had many friends aye and loyal ones too he tamed round at the sound of his sisterinlaws voice josephine was one of his most useful and constant allies xo ill not forget josephine but i am sorry her grandfathers and godmothers in baptism gave her the name of stephanie why because i know a stephanie the pret tiest fairy yon ever saw it was when we were at woolgrove beach last month and if yoa1i promise not to tell my sober brother bob fll fell yon a momentoab becret josephine havel your pledge of secrecy i promise well then i lost my heart to that beautiful little stephanie with her flossy yellow curls and her rose- mouth with its tinj pearls of teeth and her pink and hite complexion just like vour great oleander in the drawingroom did you propose to her charlie ques tioned his bisteriniaw with all the eager earnestness of a womans cariosity not just then another secret jose phine i proposed by letter day before yesterday and yon have received no answer not jet i suppose it is too soon but fmon thorns and nettles until one does reach me josephine if she dont have me 111 drown myself 1 no charles you wont what absurd nonsense then 111 do worse ill subside into a crossgrained fidgety old bachelor grumb ling incessantly at everything and every body for the rest of my natural days just see if i dont charles yoare a goose so are all young men who have the misfortonetofallinlove its their normal condition what time do yon bay the train arrives twelve i shall have to get a carriage i suppose to transfer the rheamatacy old lady here without any breakage of bones does she walk with a goldheaded cane t yes and she wears a wig and spectacles and talks through her nose and takes snuff from a tortoiseshell box 1 angels and ministers of grace defend as 1 josephine how did you ever some to have such an aunt and how did her name happen to be stephanie instead of dorcas or tryphosa we call her aunt feny for short said mrs early mischievously and her brother- ialaw etrode down the street whistling but not for lack of thought as he went i wish aunt feny was in the bed sea ba thought a little vindictively bat i suppose i must oblige josephine so at 13 oclock precisely mr chartaa earlyitcodontlpla4lormat

shall never be found lacking in the essential qualities of a gentleman in whatever drenmatances i may be placed the antique dame nodded her cap frills and- held silently on to her umbrella with out enturing any other remark until they reached mrs robert earlys mansion josephine was waiting for them on the threshold she clasped her ancient relation j- closely to her arms and there was a bort of triumphal procession up to her apart ment which charles was rather at a loss to understand one would think josephine never had had an aunt fresh out of noahs ark before he muttered to himself as he took up the newspaper and went ont to the vine- shaded piazza there to while away the time until such period as lunch should be announced charlie he had exhausted the paper long ago and nearly fallen into a doze but at his sisterinlaws summoning voice he started to his feet and entered the house aunt stephanie wants to thank yoa for all your kindness to her this morning said josephine confound aunt stephanie thought mr early advancing drowsily toward the front room where in a sort of artificial twilight produced by satin cortains and venetian blinds he could dimly descry a figure suddenly josephine drew back the shad owy draperies and there instead of a bent and crooked old woman stood a lovely girl of eighteen with deep blue eyes and golden curls set off with a white maslin dress with abundance of floating blue ribbons looped and knotted about it stephanie osborne 1 he ejaculated in stantly recognizing his fair enchantress of the seaside the holy fathers correspondence is very

year to the other such men never make a saccees of bnaineas they may make a living bnt there wa never a thorough business man who neglected his advertise ment in the newspaper if you take a space in a

is tbe cheapest and safest way of advertising now our fences are covered with the names of former buainee men who are almost for gotten in acton at the present time but a monument of their folly remains aa warning to others ascertain the amount you can expend in a year on advertiaing and then make a good a bargain with the printer as possible and yon wtb fin that at the end of the year you will be better off than when you began try it s knee breeches there is a movement manifesting iteelf among the men of toronto to wear the kneebreeches of their grandfathers the bicycle is one powerful motive in this direc tion but there is no denying the fact that the love of the beautiful in dren is a second cause an artist in sculpture who wears kneehreeches said to a reporter yesterday kneebreeches are artistic and have a tend ency to make men courteous and civil they are moreover economical the bi cyclist all prefer them and wear them when not mounted a number of the young men who lite on the island also sport them and within tbe last few days three or four young men all more or lea devotees of art have adopted them as part of their regular dress several young mm when interview ed by the reporter said they would take to the new drees at once if they were- not afraid of people talking trousers are in artistic inconvenient rowdyiah and dirty kneebreeches said the sculptor are

expected a good clean wellserved meal with behav iour to match if on tha contrary the castor were unclean and out of order he knew what he had to expect and was seldom disappointed it is in truth
