Miss Bagge went obediently and strummed her banjo and mentioned once more that she was a little Alabama coon, and young Mrs. Stewart ran hur- rledly to her husband. "I'm going to quarrel with her," she sr id, breathlessly. "That's rtght," said Henxy, calmly; •Anything to stop that row." "I'm going to ask her "to go back to town to-night, Henry." "But, my dear, isn't that rather rude?" "Of course it is. That's why I am doing it You'll have to see her to the station." The private row was quickly and quietly over. When?the last word had been spoken the self-invited guest bagged ten minutes to write a letter, and then she pronounced herself ready for Stewart's escort to the station. "Sorry you are obliged to go, Miss Bag- ge," said Stewart politely. •. "It's an important engagement," said Miss Bagge, trembling, "or I should have stayed.

"Don't people do some silly things, Winifred, dear, when they are in love?" She took a marguerite from the bowl on the table and stuck It in her hair. Then she tore up the letter and gave the pieces a little puff to send them oat on the stream. "I b'lleve you," said Mrs. Stewart "Shall you want to be town across for that last trine, mem?" demanded the boy, putting his head out of a win­ dow, "or Is the guv'nor going to do It?"

A fiery little steamer went up the river, and the waves, taking advantage of the con­ fusion, ran and kissed the green bank and were off again before the green bank had time to protest From the top deck of the Gadfly came a song to the ears of Mr. Stewart, of Throgmor- ton street and of young Mrs. Stewart, that they were beginning to know quite well, albeit Miss Bagge, the singer, had only been there since the morning. Miss Bagge accompanied herself on the banjo, and accompanied herself all wrong: . "I'm a little Alabarmer coon, , Ain't been born very long." "I wonder," said little Mrs. Stewart •--"I wonder, now, how many more times she's going to play that?" "My dear love," said Mr. Stewart litting down on the bank. "Don't call me your dear love; Hen>- ry, until that dreadful girl is gone." "My dear Mrs. Stewart what can I do? I can't treat her as ^ve brokers treat a stranger who happens to stroll Into the house, can I? You wouldn't care for me to catch hold of her and mash her hat In and hustle her out of the place." "I shouldn't All you have to do is to be distant with her." "One can't be very distant on a small houseboat" "I believe you like Miss Bagge still," said Mrs. Stewart. "I don't mind her when she's still," said Mr. Stewart. "It's when she bobs about and plays that da--" "Henry, dear!" "Plays that banjo of hers that she makes me hot" <• . The shrill voice came across the stream: "Hush a bye, don't you cry. mammy's little darling; Papa's gwine to smack you if you do." "Boat ahoy," called Stewart. The boy on the Gadfly came up from somewhere and pulled over to them and conveyed them to the houseboat Miss Bagge, looking down from be­ tween the Chinese lanterns, gave a lit­ tle shriek of delight as their boat bump­ ed at the side of the Gadfly. "Oh, you newly married people," she cried, archly, as she bunched up her skirts and came skittishly down the steps; "where have you been? Leav­ ing poor little me alone with my music for such a time." "Did you say music, Miss Bagge ?" "Yes, dear Mrs. Stewart, My banjo, you know." i."Oh!" said little Mrs. Stewart "Afraid you don't like plantation mel­ odies, Mrs. Stewart" "I used to think I did. Miss Bagge." Stewart had gone along to get some­ thing iced to drink and something in the shape of a cigar to smoke. "How things ^change, Mrs. Stewart don't they? I'm sure it doesn't seem six years ago--hem--Mr. Stewart and I and ina and two .or three others came up to Marlow. I think that was long before your day, before you came over from Melbourne, and we did really •have the most exquisite time." "Have you looked through the even- ins paper. Miss Bagge?" interrupted little Mrs. Stewart, hurriedly. "Oh, yes, dear, I've looked through it twice. One or imo most Interesting cases." "Where did you put It? I want to «ee what O'Brien has done for Middle­ sex." "I've dropped it somewhere," said Miss Bagge. "Could the boy go up for my trunk before it gets dark ? I left it Mt the station, and I shall have some more things down next week." "Next week!" Miss Bagge put her hand to her laowu thin neck and gave a cough of j voice to a pitch of distinctness- Now an odd thing happened. Ae kew*rt handed his chai'xe into fh» boat a letter fell from iuer pocket oft the deck of the Gadfly. Mrs. Stewart in her usual good temper, now that her husband s old adMrer was departing, called to her as soon as she noticed the letter; but Miss Bagge paid no at­ tention. It almost seemed that she did not want to hear. When Mrs. Stewart picked it up and saw it was addressed to Henry Stewart, Esq., and marked "private and confidential," she opened it without a moment's hesita­ tion. "My Dearest Henry--It Is so sweet to be near you <agaln. Just as the wind sighs for the seashore so do I sigh for you. Can you imagine what you are and ever have been to me? You are In­ deed my king, and you know I am your willing slave. Yours faithfully, "CONSTANCE BAGGE." Young Mrs. Stewart sank down on a low deck chair and gasped and looked across at the two. "Well," she said, "now this Is tear- -- There would be a good half hour be­ fore Henry returned, and in that good half hour it was necessary to decide what was to be done. What was quite clear was that the creature must have had some encouragement to induee her to write such a letter, and-- "Why, she is taking his arm!" she cried. Ifideed, Miss Constance Bagge was resting her hand on the arm of Mrs. Stewart's husband. Henry was carry­ ing her banjo, and, lopking back, he laughingly waved it at his wife. "Does this mean," asked Mrs. Stew­ art distractedly, "that they will never come back?" The letter seemed to explain his slight deference in agreeing to the la­ dy's dismissal; it explained, also, why when Miss Bagge had that morning made her unexpected appearance on the bank hailing the boy with a shrill "Hir Henry had only laughed very much. Mrs. Stewart summoned the boy. "Yes, mem, there is a trine up liter ' than thisL It leaves Thames Ditton at eleven fifteen, and you get to goo<& old Waterloo at about ten to twelve. And I wish to Gawd," added the boy piously, "that I. was there nah. This plice is a lump too quiet for me." *' That would give half an hour to speak her mind to Henry (if he did come back), Just half an hour to ex­ tract from him a confession, and then rush for the last train up. At Waterloo she could take a cab to Uncle George's, and if Uncle George couldn't see her through, why, nobody could. Uncle George was an agent-general. He was a stern ihan, and treated everybody as severely as though they were his fel­ low-countrymen. The white-flanneled figure came back to the river side. "He has managed to say good-by. then ?" said Mrs. Stewart fiercely. "I should like to have seen tlie parting " Henry came on board and went straight to her, and with the assurance of new husbands, kissed her neck. "She's an impossible creature," said Stewart He sat down beside his wife and took an evening paper from his pocket. "I believe she took the extra away with her. I've had to tyuy an other." There was something in little Mrs. Stewart's throat that prevented her for the moment from starting her lecture. "She wasn't so bad, you know," he went on, "in the old days. Of course I was a mere youtfi then. But now she's too terrible for words. I suppose If girls don't get married they get warped and changed. "1 want to speak to you, Henry," she said, steadily. "Oh, bother that hoy," he exclaimed. "We must get rid of him, dear; he's a nuisance." "It wasn't about the boy." "Not the boy? Well then-- Hullo! Here's a funny case." 1 She went on very quietly: "I want to speak to you very serious­ ly, Henry, about a matter that has, by accident, come to my notice. I don't want to seem a bother too much about It and I suppose If I were as free as some women are I shouldn't mind It in the least But my mind is quite made up." He was not listening, but her head was averted and she went on: "I have left the keys in the bed-room, and my account book is totalled up to date, with the exception of the bill that came In to-day. ̂ There is no reason why we should liav£ any high words."' "I beg your pardon, dear. I haven't heard a word you were saying." He had found the news page in the evening paper and was reading with much interest a diverting breach of promise case. ^ "I was only saying"--she raised her 'M• j;.Iivy»» v "ofV*;v ./1 ? r>, "w• .* . .... Beggary and Superstition. ? is a icguiuf ti'Que iu uiaujr parts of the world. Some who practice it may almost be said to make it an art or a profession. A good mendicant, like a good salesman, studies his cus* tomers, discovers their weak points, if* he can, and trades upon them. A French writer, who has given much at­ tention to the subject, describes at some length the skillful methods by which such people--who get their living by "pauperculture"--play upon the super stltlons of their victims. There is a common notion that giving alms brings good fortune. "Go to the Sorbonne," says our FrencL author, "on the days of examination for the bachelor's degree. See the col­ legians, each with his dictionary undei his arm, on his way to Vnake the fam­ ous Latin version, on the success ol which all his future depends. A cloud of beggars settles down upon them. "*A sou, monsieur, a morsel ol bread. It will bring you happiness.' "The candidate hurries oh. " 'You will be blackballed, monsieur,' the beggar continues. "The sinister prediction always takes effect; the collegian pulls out his purse, and the beggaT turns away chuckling.'

Mr. Herlihy surveyed the picture for some moments, muttering to himself the while. At last he turned a dissat­ isfied face upon the agent "It's moighty purty," he said, "but it's mesilf doesn't call It complate, aorr, not by nnny means." "Indeed," said the agent "What Is wanting, Mr. Herlihy?" "There's the bulldin's, all rolght" said Michael, "an' there's the folre ln- glnes, an' the ladders, an' the horses, an' the shmoke an' cinders. There's the payple runnin', an' the foiremen cllmbin' oop an' doon.

They were at work In & dry gulch, without a sign of water in sight, and had brought the aurifer­ ous sand in baskets to the mouth of the ravine, where the wind blew strongly down the valey. Their wash­ ing apparatus consisted of a heavy army blanket, In the center of which they placed about a peck of the sand. Then, each Mexican taking hold of the blanket by the corners, they tossed the sand high aloft again and again. The wind blew away the fine sand, while the heavier particles with the gold fell straight into the blanket When at last they paused there re­ mained In the blanket a double handful of gravel and heavy sand In which glittered a few yellow specks of gold. As we rode on, my Mexican driver told me that the two men were prob­ ably making $3 or $4 a day during the time they worked, but that as soon as ilhey had made their 'clean-up' they would go Into Santa Fe or Cerrlllos, sell their gold dust, and squander the last nickel they had In whisky and monte before they would go back to the gulch to work." sad Bohemian.

That, of all known agents to accom­ plish tiiis purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequaled, is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor.
