Kate Trehcrne stood at the Window of Mrs Hilton’s pretty little drawing- room, wi‘h a. duster in her hand and, J ack Darby lounged outside. He had brought, down a message from his mother, and he seemed to be waiting for an answer. If any one had told him that he was loitering there for the arrival of the postman, he would have denied it scornfully ; yet he was doing so unconsciously to himself. “ ‘Why didn’t you pass on to the door and ring P” inquired Kate, crossly. “ I hate to be caught dusting.” “ Here is the postman, Kate. Shall I tell him to pass on to the door and ring '9” ’ “ N ever mind,” faltered Kate, blush- ing crimson; “ I will take the letters here.” ”v. v. Mischievously, almost maliciously, Jack put out his hand and took them from the man; and, though he passed them on immediately. he had scrutin- ized both with a quick, keen scrutiny. One, a. thin business missive, with a tradesman’s name and address stamped on the seal, Kate opened at once and read. The other, addressed in a gentle- man’s hand, she quietly put into herl pocket. Jack, watching her face, saw that the business epistle pleased herâ€"â€" saw, too, that she understood the other letter, even without opening it. Catching sight of the curiosity in his eyes, Kate said, shortly, “ An order. Jack,” and felt confident that he un- derstood nothing at all about it. He said, “ Oh l” half scornfully, half angrily, and then went away, with all his suspicion settled into certain mis- trust. sat at the table with a large new sheet of card-board before her; her paint-box and water on one SFde of her, a vase of freshly gathered primroses on the other, and her busy pencil in her hand. The pleasant little room was bright and fresh after it’s dusting, and Kate “1:. fear, though,” added J ulia.j “ I wonder how much I shall have done before auntie comes down,” she said to herself; “I am getting on famously. ‘I am the Resupâ€"f nearly half I’ve sketched out already.

Tell Mr. Har- topp you cannot spare the time.” “ This is not for Mr. Hartopp, auntie.” “Then don’t do it at all. You are always giving them away, I suppose, to some selfish, exacting people, and I see no benefit you ever gain by it. You‘ are no richer when you leave off than when you begin; so what is the use of worrying yourself and me? Do put it away out of sight, child, and take. a good walk.” Kate did put it away out of sight of Mrs. Hilton. She carried all the materials up into her own room and laid them ready for use on a table near the window; and there, late on into the night, and early in the morning, Kate sat and worked, putting out her little lamp when the dawn brightened into daylight, but burning it long after the rest of the small household were asleep. On the third day the task was finish ed, and, packing it- very carefully, she sent it into Wolverhampton, herself seeing it into the train. ‘ "That’s all right,” she said, with a sigh of relief, as she left the station. “Now, if he pays me by post toâ€"night, it will be in time. Oh ! how I hope he will 1” “Ah! can t-wo guineas be often looked for with such eagernessâ€"such iteous eaoernessâ€" as Kate's were h looked for on that Sunday morning? And does a postman often leave so sad a. face behind him when he passes by an unopened gate? ‘- Mrs. Hilton was poorly that morn- ing, so Kate could not leave her to go to church; but as the bell rang,â€"tolled, ratherâ€"for evening service, she walked alone along the village road, raising her pale facc hungrily to meet the soft, fresh evening breeze. Above her, as she sat alone in the pew, hung her own Easter text. The brilliant, beautiful words on which she had bestowed such care spoke soothingly to her, and for a time she never thought of wondering why they were there. \Vhen she did so at last, an odd little smile broke on her lips. .3 “ At any rate,” she thought, with a touch of bitter amusement, as she sud- denly comprehended all she had heard of Julia’s illuminatingn“ at any rate she has no vexation to bear, and, still worse, to witness to-dny, because her work has not been paid for.” ' Mrs. Darby detained Kate after the service was over, and presently she found herself standing in the chancel, with a cluster of others, examining and criticising the Easter text. “ Do ~siou know that I never was more astonished in my life '2” said Mr. Hartopp, rubbing his hands delighted- ly. “I had no idea that my little girl had such a talent hidden.” And Julia’s spirits rose higher and higher as she received the hearty congratulations. “ May we drive round and leave you at home, Kate, my dear Cl” asked Mrs. Darby, b::~fore taking her seat in the phaeton whit-h was wazting for her and her son. But, though Jack stood beside her, and looked most entreatingly for her answer, she declined quickly and de- cidedly, and turned to walk back alone in the twilight. “ How very determined Kate was,” said Mrs. Darby. With a smile, as they drove away. “ One might really fancy she had a. reason for wishing to be alone.” The light words rankled in J ack’sl mind, and haunted it so persistently that hours afterward, when his mother had gone to bed and the Sunday quiet was deepened by the quiet of night, he found their memory leading him rest- lessly down the hill road, and straight on thrOugh the village to Mrs. Hilton’s cottage. The garden gate would be locked of course; besides, the moon- light was so clear that it would not do to venture there; but by climbing the churchyard wall he could go on among tne trees to the door at the back, where Hardly trusting himself to recall that night and the old pang, Jack walked on, eagerly obeying some un- acknowledged and painful impulse. There was no stealthiness in his foot- step, though it was slow and quiet. Jack had nearly reached the house â€"-â€"keeping in the shadow all the timeâ€" when he heard measured steps in ad- vance of him. Suddenly he‘drew back and looked out at the moonlit Spacesâ€" crossed here and there by heavy shadows of the trees. Across there a. man’s figure wasl slowly walking to and fro, and Jackl watched it in hot impatience. Presently toe door at the back of the house was opened, and out into the moonlight stepped Kate, with nothing over her head, no cloak or shawl around her, though the night was chill and damp. He could see her for a minute as plainly as he could nave seen her in the broad daylight; but in the next she too had crept into the shadow ; and there the two figures stood together. There was a sound of Kate’s voice whispering . earnestly, and Jack drew further away.

Are you ready '3” Kate, feeling very glad that it was Surday night, and tlnt there was no work to he done after she went to her room, walked slowly up stairs.

Easter moon was shining clear and l bright, and its light fell upon her there ’ and lighted up the scene on which she? gazed.

Up- on going in search of hiin.the little fellow was found curled up in a. ball on one end of the table'with his back to the plate of doughnuts as if he feared the temptation would be too strong for hini if he faced his favorite dish. The plate was full, and he Could easily have eaten :i number with- out detection, but his manner showed plainly that he had not yielded to the seductive odour, as many children might have done in the same circumstances. He evidently thought that by mounting guard he would be ready to beg from the first person who took a cake. It goes without saying that “Spot’s” honesty was liberally rewarded. She could see no figure nowâ€"nothing but the shadows of the trees upon the moonlit groundâ€" but, when she had been there a. few minutes, she fancied she heard a, short clear whistle at a little distance. There was no ghostliness in the soundâ€"on the contrary, something almost frnniliar in 1t had struck her though it lived but for a moment iri the airâ€"yet Kate started, and her face â€"always paleâ€"agrew almost deathly 1n the moonlight. She stood trembling as she listened, and presently the. silence was again broken by the short clear note, which had, she fancied, a call in it. On swift, light feet Kate descended the stairs and passed out into the shadowy space behind the house. On and on she went, pausing in every spot of shade, and searching eagerly, yet she whispered no word, although the call had not been repeated since she left the window. She had reached the garden wall, and was about to climb it that she might reach the churchyardâ€"for the little gate there was always kept chainedâ€" when her searching eyes at last lighted on a figure lymg prostrate in its shadow. She stole up to it timidly, and then, seeing who it was, dropped on her knees beside it, whisaering through her quiver- ing lips, “ Jack 1 Jack !” But the face she watched so eagerly, ‘ so longingly, was cold and motionless, and the hand she held lay lifeless in her own lot, loving grasp. “ Jack I }ack 1” Only for a few minutes did Kate kneel there and cry to him. She was not one with whom sorrow could blot out all things else. On flying feet she sped back to the house and brought brandy, and, after long, anxious watch- ing and waiting. she saw Jack at last open his eyes slowly 3 but, though he opened them upon her face, there was no surprise nor gladness in their recog- nition. She was sitting beside him on the damp' grass, while his head lay on a soft, thick shawl which sne had brought lfrom the house. “ Is it you, Kate? fretting about him 2 Why: he is not hurt worth speak- ing of, We fought fairly until he slunk away and left me the field, as I thought.

You needn’t fret him; he has got safely off." CHESTER, Eng., May 14.â€"R.C. Duncan of Washington, U. 8., arrived three weeks ago at the Benar View Hotel at Bettsway coed accompanied by a young foreign lady whom he introduced his wife. Duncan was already known at the hotel where he stayed last summer with two other Americans. He was then unmarried. Tuesd-ty Duncan and his wife left the hotel ostensibly with the purpose of going to Liverpool, but having left their luggage at- tho railway station they returned to the hotel. They started at midday apparently on friendly terms to take a. walk. At; (3 o’clock in the evening a farmer passing through a plantation in a secluded Spot in the fertlle valley under the Snowdon saw Dunccm leaning over a woman who was lying on the ground. Duncan shout- ed that the woman was his wife who had fallen and hit her head on a rock. The Woman who was unconscious was removed to a farm house. The doctors who heard Duncan’s story were unable to reconcile the nature of the woman’s injury with his story. Her skull was flactured over the right ear obviously from a. blow. The operation of trepanning was per- formed. Duncan who wasarrested,iconfess- ed on being informed that his wife was still alive that he had battered her head, and the police have found a stone covered with blood and hair near the spot where the Woman had Iain. Duncan on bein‘r taken before a magistrate made no ex- planation of the alfair and was remanded. Duncan is 27 years old, is short, slight and fair-haired and wears spectacles. He is a noted linguist. His family in Wash- ington occupy a good social position' It is stated that he met his wifei 1 Stockholm and her father is a cigar manufacturer at Ab'v. in Finl md. Mrs. Duncan is still 1 nconscious and there is only the smallest hopes ot her 1' covexy. Duncan’s motive for the crime has not been explained. Dug lm’ers may be interested in the ful- luwing story uf a pet black and tan. It is abmlutely true in every particular. l’enple who understand dugs knew their dispositiuns are as varied as the animals themselves, some showing: perfect honesty 1n ‘Lll their little ways, and others quite the reverse. “Spot,” so called from two brown moles on each side of his face was exceedingly fond of old-fashioned dnughnuts, and whenever they were plac- ed upon the table he obtained his share by his many euaxing Ways and numerous tricks. One evening the maid was direct- ed to leave the plate uf cakes en the table How a St. Mary’s M31 Was 'Done to Death for His Money. ST. MARY’Y, May 14,â€"R F. Barbour of this town, who was murdered in Wash- , ington State a few days ago, had been carrying: on a hardware and furniture busi- ness in Lebanon, Oregon, and had gone to Portland for the purpose of purchasing stock, and being in possession of a con- siderable sum of money, which excited the cupidity of some one with whom he came in contact, he was followed and became the victim of the assassin and robber. From a letter written by the murdered man’s brother Henry, who resides in Cmby, State of Oregon, and who went to Port- land to make enquiries, it is learned that he had an interview with a person named Amos, who is supposed to have been the last man who had seen deceased. This was at noon on April 16, and deceased was never seen again until found in the River ‘ Willamette at Portland. A bullet hole was found at. the back of the head, proving conclusively that he was shot from behind. The body is expected to arrive in St. Mary’s about June 1. For short distances the salmon is un- doubtedly the swiftest of fish. It had been calculated that its speed at high pressure is from 20 to 25 miles an hour. For long and sustained exertion, however, the shark is unequalled, as “ he outstrips the swiftest ships, plays round them, darts out before them, returns, seems to gaze at the passengers, and all this while it does not seem to exhibit the smallest effort to pro. ceed.” They are capable of keeping up a speed of from 17 to ‘20 miles an hour. The pike, again, is a very swift swimmer; and the whale, when it is pressed hard, can do about 15 miles an hour, but strictly speaking, it is not a “ fish ” at all. The :pretty, slender dare or dace is another lswift fish. Two schoolboys observed a. bird’s nest built on the arch of a bridge over a deep pool. They were anxious to get the eggs, but could think of no way of accomplish- ing their object. At last it was resolved that one should hold on l‘f’ ”I“ “”392?" and the other creep down and hold by his neighbour’s legs. When nearly accom- plishing their object the upper boy got tired, and called out to his neighbor, “Hand on, Jamie, till I spit on my hands,” and with that both of them fell into the water and were nearly drowned.
