She is a famous < ,'actress now, and exactly 22. Having passed three pleasant years at _ Cambridge, and become a Bachelor oI •Arts by the least irksome process per­ mitted by University statutes, I found my- •elf at 21 years of age a student at the Upper Temple, and the monthh tenant of a couple of rooms on the first floor in Guilford street, Russell square. As I knew few people in London, and »vas not even a member of one of the Uni­ versity clubs, there was no special rea­ son for idleness, and I may proudly con­ fess. that for the first three months of my residence in town my jealous mia- : tress, the law, knew no rival. • But even the stirring periods of " Ifr. Joshua Williams on Real Property," and the sportive faoetiousnoas of "Mr. Jus­ tice By lea on Bills," are apt to become monotonous, and I was on the point of ioining a small Bohemian club in the Strand, when fate brought me distrac­ tion from my studies in a more witching ^lid material shape. This shape was an «fckle. ^ Of coarse it was feminine; equally of course it was trim and dainty. The first time I saw it a crimson stocking added to its allurements ; on the second occa­ sion it was clad in black. And, oddly enough, this was the only evidence I had of the propinquity of a young and attractive neighbor; for the ankle was always helping its owner up-stairs at a rapid rate whenever I caught a glimpse of the ravishing joint and the flutter of the dress which accompanied it. At length, after sundry stray glimpses, my curiosity was fairly* aroused, and I inquired of my landlady regarding the occupants of tbe rooms above me. " Sea, air, the second floor, sir, which it's a young woman and her grandmar, and well be'aved and quite respectable, though she is a play actress, sir." "A play actress!" I exclaimed; which --the young woman or the grandmother ?" "Oh, the young woman, sir, which she la that devoted to her grandmar, and quite haffable, as on© may say. They have been here ten days' and they've Conducted themselves quite proper." I must confess that tite' fact©! the owner of the ankle being an actress in­ flamed my interest in it to an inordinate degree. I am naturally gregarious, and I am fond of my species, ana dwring the last three months the only woman I had •poken to were the worthy Mrs. Jones my landlady, and tbe much-begrimed do­ mestic who attended to the requiremen ts of the lodgers. Then, like many young itaen of similar ago, I had an affection for the drama and the stage, an affection I may add, which, though whetted bv curiosity, was still tempered with res­ pect. Of course, I eoold not force an acquaintance with the " second floor," and I was far too inexperienced in the customs of the metropolis to introduce myself in an apparently natural un­ premeditated manner. One Sunday morning after breakfast J[ was stretched on my uncomfortable aofa, smoking a long pipe and reading one of the late lamented Mr. Smith's 44 leading cases.** I was doing my best to feel interested in the details when I "Was conscious of a oom motion up-stairs. A minute or so afterward a rap came on my door. „ " Come in," I cried, and Mrs. Jones appeared. She was sorry to disturb me, bnt the old lady up-stairs was " took " suddenly ill; no restoratives were at hand, and, according to law, none were procurable at that time on the Sabbath. Would I, therefore, be kind enoug lead her a' winegiassful ? The application was evidently „ ine but, on Mrs. Jones' part, hasty and ill-comsidered, revealing as it did an in­ timate knowledge of the resources of my cupboard. Still, what I had was, of course, at the servioe of the second floor. Pulling open the door still wider to allow my landlady to depart, I perceived on the stairs in front of me the figure of • young and beautiful girl. She was standing expectant, one hand resting on the bannister, and when she met my admiring eyes she flushed slightly. She "was tall and well made, her slight, girl­ ish figure giving indications of future robustness. A mass of nut-brown hair, most heteredoxically picturesque, fell ronu i and about her shapely head, and * pair of full gray eyes sparkled some­ what defiantly from under the oem> •ponding number of light eyebrows. It's all right, Miss f" quoth the land­ lady nnctionsly. " Mr. Smith has bees kind enough to lend as this," and the good seal hugged the unsympathetic bottle to her matronly bosom. The girl stepped down two or three stairs. "I'm sorry for trembling you," said she to me, " but we don't know '4S? yon going to do to­ night?" she asked. "Ihave promised to dine at Richmond with some friends. I go down in the afternoon, and shall not retain until about 12," "But t Mmm* wi are awfully ctevar, and all that," she added simply. "Anyhow, you are very kind.v "Oh! don't talk like that, please. ijpou, I hear, are an actress/' I dim t know," and she looked quite ; "I am on the stage." " It must be a very jolly life," I sug- gosted, somewhat nervously, for I had nwaripokea to the actress before, re- "«« life," she said. » fOH can®°* have niueh experi- 6MQ6, I returned, glancing at her youthful figure. "I began when I was twelve, and I «m now fifteen.. I have played Arthur in ' King John,' Mamillraa in the •Winter's Tale,' and Prince Bright Byes in the pantomime. Quite a wide range of parts, isn't it ? " Yes, I suppose so," I remarked; and may I ask where you are acting now?" She laughed. "Such is fame I Why. I am playing in t^e new burlesque at the Fortune. I apologised for my ignorance, and assured her that I would go and see her the following night. "Do," said she, "and mind you applaud my song. I was encored last night, so contrive that I am again to­ morrow. Good-by," she continued, moving toward the door. ** I never talked to a lawyer before. . : "And I have never spoken to an actress until to-day," quoth L " How do you like it?" asked she. Immensely ; pray give me another opportunity. What do you think of a lawyer?" " I don't think of him at all at pies- ent; I have something better to do," and with that she vanished. Yes, she was both piquant and repell­ ing, but the novelty of the acquaintance j y^jv on'rav^in'.Y was pleasing, and the next evening found i ahnvt again I hope to be able to oonvinoe you that I am an actress." I dined at the Star and Garter that evening, and spent a few merry hours with some old college friends and re­ turned home about midnight. When I reached my landing I found the be­ grimed domestic and a young girl en­ deavoring to oacry a heavy box upstairs. Of course, I offered my servioes, which *«*• gmcofully accepted The lady, who was, of oourse, Miss Mildred May. let go the handle of the trunk, which i promptly grasped and dragged up to the sitting-room above, As I was leaving the apartment she entered. , Mildred May, I presume ?" I SBked, bowing. She bowed a mute ac­ knowledgment, and passed into the room. I looked at her somewhat curi­ ously, and not without admix atioh. Her figure was more womanly than her sis- ™T8' k®* oostume was plainer. There was an air of almost matronly dignity about her as she moved. Her hair was dressed plainly, and I noticed that, unlike her sister, she wore no rings on her well-shaped hand. When she Xattm Forests. While there is much aaid and written in ngpzd to faresMxee cultivation, we find veij little attention paid ervation o# native forests. In the tim­ bered sections we have been too busy trying to get rid of the timber to think of any method of preservation. Yet in some stations that wore formerly tim­ bered there is now felt to be a scarcity of timber,particularly of thai kind whick is useful in manufactures. The only remedy mentioned ia the planting of tor- est trees for this purpose, but this is a work that we are hardly prepared for in this State, and it is probable that only necessity will compel artificial planiuL The time seems too long to wait for ok investment of this kind to begin to pay and there are very few who will under­ take the work. At least very little has been done in this line. At the Agricult­ ural College an experimental arboretum of four acres has been growing a few years; and a fanner in Monroe county has this year set 1,500 black-walnut trees with a view to grow* them for tim­ ber. Would it not be well to study more closely the possibility of improving the timber lands that still remain. The woods still standing contain a vast amount of material which is susceptible of development in far less time than would be required for the planting and growth of new forests, the neglect of amy be made b? bud work, bat ou neither ba made nor enjoyed without bfealtb.

Then general ignorance of forest culture. Tl*e timber is ruthlessly cut from many plases that are nearly useless for cultiva- tion after, and would be worth far more for growing timber than for any ofher purpose, more !bee,utiful to the eye and more profitable. In many instances the native woods have been so much neg­ lected or so injured as toKspast redem tion, yet there are still large areas , forest and smaller groves and wood-low now yielding no revenue which might lie developed into timber forests of very great value and at the same time vield an annual crop of firewood in the"pro- Gens.

I had been seated at my | GuUford^atw^t table but a few minutes when a light tap sounded at my door. I opened it^ and there was Miss Minnie May. '•Well," said she impatiently, "how did you like it f How did it go ?" "I don't know much about burlesques, Miss May, bat the audience seemed amused. ' noatn. igik to 'gZu- what to do, and--after alL I suppose, we are not the first people who have made each other's acquaintance over the bottle." F _ And then she turned and tripped lightly up-stairs, and a flash of the crimson ankle was perceptible as she turned the corner of the staircase. There was a certain abandon in her movements which was at once attractive and strange. Her manner and utterance were easy, and her tone seemed to imply a .thorough mastery of the situation, and % hint that, thougn she was young, she was experienced, and was intimately acquainted "with her way about." Later on in the afternoon, I was again reclining on the hospitable horse-hair, and was aroused by another knock at my door. This time the summons was not so much an authoritative rap as a soft, insinuating tap. I bade my visitor enter, and the door was opened a few inches. " Mr. Smith, I have brought you back the--the medicine." Ot course I opened the door wide, and begged the young lady to oome in, which she did uncon­ cernedly enough, and placed the bottle on the sideboard. " 1 hear voct are a lawyer, Mr. Smith," said she, glancing around the room. "Not yet, I'm only at the bar," I»/ turned, modestly. " Yes, they encored my song. I have made a hit, I feel certain. You didn't applaud, though, I was watching you." "Indeed I did; I split my glovesover it. Look here," and I showed her cir­ cumstantial evidence of my zeal. " Oh, I dare say ; /you split them ap­ plauding somebody else; that fright that playB Prinoe with the padded legs," " No ; I agree with you that She is a fright. I didn't applaud her." " Mind you never do. She is a wretch. And now I shall expect you to come to the Fortune at least three days ^ week. It will do you good; you spend far too much time over those abominable books." And then she asked me de­ murely whether I wouldn't go up-stairs and be introduced to grandmamma, who was anxious to thank me for my prompt sympathy of the previous day. "You won't be too shocked, I suppose." she laughed, as I followed her up-stairs. Grandmamma was a faded old lady, dressed in black, and her conversation generally resolved itself into uninterest­ ing reminiscences of by-gone triumphs. For she had been the darling of provin­ cial theaters years ago, poor old soul, and lived as comfortably as Bhe could on recollections of the past and a of the present. We had a cheerful little supper at ptMMshed eggs and bottled stout Miss Minnie prattled away, grandmamma was silently appreciative, and I listened and learned. Afterward Minnie showed me her album, and her aged relative showed symptoms of impending sleejKjn her arm chair. I admired the photographs •as well as I knew how. • " But you haven't told me what vou think of my acting," she exclaimeAsud- denly. " Haven't I ? Well, you are voting yet. Are you sure that you like the stage ?" For to tell the truth Miss Min­ nie May had not inspired me with any belief in her histrionic genius. " Like the stage ?" she inquired sur­ prised ; " why, I'm a born actress. Oh 1 you don't think so ?" I modestly deprecated any such idea. "Never mind, Mr. Smith, before many months are over I'll prove to you that I can act." And the impetuous young damsel seemed ready to cry. Presently i came to the last page of the album, and my eye caught a portrait of a girl whom I took for herself. . ' "Oh! that is not like yoq/' I ex­ claimed. ** Who said it was ?" Then she paused and laughed softly to herself. " That is a portrait of my sister." "Indeed?" 44 Yes, we are very much alHui** 44 Is she an actress, too ?" "She is on the stage. And °noW good-night; don't sit up and read law. Go to sleep and dream of--" ••Prince Camaralzaman V " By all means, if you can." For the next five or six days I saw but little of Miss Minnie May. In fact, I rather avoided her. As I was .absent most of the day ia the chambers of a special pleader, I ran a* chance of en­ countering the "maiden of bashful fif­ teen " in broad daylight, and at night about the time she came home from' the theater I made a practice of smoking a cigar and sauntering wound Russell square. However, on Staoday morning she tapped at my door. ceremon iously. •4 Don't try and act, Mr. Smith," said she, quickly peroeivingmy awkwardness; *' leave that to me; I'm come to. say good-by." "Goo^-bv?" ' " Yes; I have got a better engage­ ment in Liverpool; more money ana a comedy part. You see there are some people who believe in my acting." "My dear Miss May, pray don't think' I undervalue your talents " " I wanted to tell you that my sister is coming up from Glasgow to take part in the burlesque at the Fortune. My sister, you saw her photograph the other evening. She isn't a bit like me, except in appearance, and I want you to be kind to her, and, if I may venture ask a favor, to see her home from the theater the first two or three nights. She is rather timid, you know, and doesn't know her way about as I do." The request astonished me slightly, but of course I could only promise to Ao what was required. with Bull en and Leake's assistance, hesitated and blundered. It was no good, 1 could not work, so I left cham­ bers, and found myself walking toward Guilford street. As I reached my door, she came out. Heavens t How my heart leaped!

I saw her home from the tba^tAT night, but I did not sit in the stalls to watch her play her sister's part I hat­ ed the notion that so gentle a creature should be compelled to exhibit herself on the stage, and 1 know 1 should have writhed in agony at the spectacle. As I escorted her home, her left hand softly placed on my right forearm, she aae 4m my consideration. " I am glad you did not come, Mr. Smith; I meant to have asked you not. I am not born an actress, like Miuni^, but of course we must live." Yes, I thought to myself, poor child, she must live; and then the thought rose from my heart and dazzled my brain-- how sweet, how inspiring to work for this dear girl, to soften and make straight her life's pathway, to persuade her is ennoble and beautify my own. During the following week King's Bench Walk saw but little of me. Mil­ dred looked pale and needed fresh air, and i determined that the evil effects of , the footlights should be remedied by plenty of sunshine by day. We explored ! the suburbs of London. We trod Hamp- stead Heath together, explored the re­ cesses of Richmond Park, fed the deer in Bushey and bears in the Zoo. Every day seemed to bring forth some fresh beauty in her mind; every day made me , more passionately in love. So, devoted and reckless, I told) ker one Sunday morning, after we had been to church at the Foundling Hospital, that I couldn't live without her. "My darling, I am not rich in world­ ly goods, but I have a wealth of love for you. Quit your irksome calling, be my •wife." * As I covered her hand with kisses 'she rose suddenly. "Mr. Smith, are you not afraid to marry an aetress ? " " You are an angel," I cried. "You are not an actress. Then she lauglied merrily. "So you told me before," and with a swift turn toward the looking-glass she shook her hair out of its orthodox coil. Then she laughed more than ever. Mildred! " I cried in astonishment. •" Mildred ? " she answered mockingly; "Mildred ? There isn't such a person. Fat Minnie May, and I never had & sis­ ter to my knowledge. Well," she add­ ed, .-seating herself on the table, "am I mi actress or not, Mr. Smith ? " I never answered her, but rushed out of the house, and the next day moved into fresh lodgings at Brixton. Sinoe then I have had frequent op­ portunities of measuring her capacities •m an actress. In fact, I am going to see^-her play Lady Teazle to-night.
