"It would be singular it I had met you there." he said, as it commun- ing with himself. “Were you ever in San Francisco?"

He broke ofl‘, and. too disturbed by! the idea of a possible lover for Miss Thorpe, he arose and wont to the piano. She was playing softly, a esort of running accompaniment to her thoughts it seemed to him. and did not hear him approach. Guy stood looking at her, his hand so near her that it almost touched her arm, a strange. wistful, troubled feeling possessing him. He was to .marryâ€"ii he kept his promiseâ€"to .I L_‘“ m--v â€"_ marry Constance. And he had been willing to marry Constanceâ€"had giv- en her his love; but she had coldly thrust it aside. Her coldness had made him miserable, the air of mys- tery and reserve had chilled him and saddened him; and now. at the criti- cal moment, he meets this beautiful creature, a faint shadow of Con- stance, with all the tenderness and meek nmidenlincss which to him Con- stance lacked. Was he fickle? He could scarcely accuse himselt of that. For one thing, he was not in love with this sweet young creature yet. He liked her, in a friendly way. and she ex- erted a soothing. quieting influence over him. but he was quite sure that he did notIIove her. 110 thought of Constance as he looked at her, and he sighed. She had not known he was so near. and, looking around with a. little start, was in- time to see the troubl- ed, perplexed look in his handsome “me.

As she did so her broochâ€"a little silver birdâ€"fell from her throat to the floor. She bent, and put out her hand to recovâ€" er it, and in doing so touched his face, as he stooped also. The blood flew to both their faces as she drew her hand back; but when he looked up her {nee was__pale.- ‘â€"â€"_- ‘ ma __v - He looked at the breech for a. 1110-. went, and then held it. out. to her in his open palm; and as she touched it with the tips of the soft white hand. his fingers closed on hers. ' _ ‘ I-A.. ..-“' -- vâ€" ‘â€" With a sudden quiver she raised her eyes to his. a half frightened ques- tioning in them. Some word trembled on G‘J’S lip. a world of passionate longing shone in his eyes; then he remembered Con- stance and his promise to Sir Richâ€" ard. and. as it with a sudden eiTort. he let her draw her hand away. and with tightly compressed lips he turn- ed aside. ' With a long breath, either of relief or regret, she let her fingers touch the keys, to gain time and compos- are. w. v. When she looked around afterward Guy was gone. and a minute later she heard the sound of his horse tearing up the lane. Then the music suddenly ceased. and her face went down and was hidden in her hands. Guy rode like a man fleeing from some terrible temptation. but the look in those soft, melting brown eyes went with him and haunted him. That touch of her warm hand on hisl cheekâ€"why had it sent the blood‘ surging through him and made his heart heat so wildly? Could it be possible that he loved her? He had only seen her twice or thriceâ€"knew nothing of her except that she Was loth to mention the past. And Con- stancelâ€"what was to be done about her? It was true that she showed no signs of accepting him if he pro- posed to her; but still, he had prom- ised, and the promise was sacred to Guv. And that thought took him to the one of love. Did he love Constance. or had the sweet-faced girl at the cottage won his heart? Why. else. had he been on the point of telling her so at that moment when he held her hand imprisoned in his? Well. then, he did love her. But what right had he to even think of her it he was pledged to another. He groaned and dug the spurs into Hot- spur’s sides till that noble beast As for Mildred, she could not leap into the saddle and ride away her perplexity and embarrassment. but she caught up a. white shawl and said she would go out tor a walk. It matter little to her which way she took. and it was not until she had gone some distance that she realized that she had turned toward Hart- leigh village._ How Fish Are Caught By The Na- tives of The Congo. Primitive methods of catching fish are in vogue among the natives of the Congo. Sometimes they poison the water and occasionally fish with a hook and line, but their favorite instruments of destruction are fun- nels, shaped somewhat like ordinary eelâ€"pots, from which no fish, having once entered, can escape. --" ed a “nsoso” and is made of thin strips of palm. A fish can easily on- ter, but as soon as he tries to get out he finds the exit barred by the ends of the strips. which come to- gether just inside the broad on. trance. When the water is rising and falling fish can easily be caught in this way. Larger and longer funnels. known .117 a. “nswn,” are also used. They are made of broad strips of palm or 0! branches of other trees. and are found very eflective in rapidly flow- ing rivers. First, the river is dam- med, nnd then a number of openings are made in it. behind which the “nswas” are placed. Through the force of the current the fish are driv- en into the openings. and once there they cannot. get. out. Some of the fish caught. in these funnels are of enormous size. fre- quently. indeed, so large that two boys and it no easy talk to carry .0! than home. . . PRIMITIVE FISHING.

I am not sure that the sensation of delight which my stomach experienced at the sight at quince jelly. of which I am especially fond, did not shine forth from my eyes and give rise to my hostess's _rat.her pertinent remark: "You are fond of quince jelly. are you not?" “Very." I replied; at, the same time raising my spoon containing a gen- erous portion. to my lips. “Yes, I am extremely fond of quince jelly," I continued, ”but I never tasted any that could compare with this; it, is delicious.

I could throw all the blame upon the quality of my neighbor's quinces. I was ob- liged to explain. but not in the way. I had anticipated. Now I always use a few Japanese quinces whenever I make jelly. Not only do they im- prove the flavor, but they also have a tendency to make the jelly firmer and clearer. I am careful not to use too many as they are fiery tart. It is this acid quality that brings out the rich quince flavor; just as cur- rants do when combined with rasp- berries. I also have found by exper- imenting. that Japanese quinces 'alone, make a very nice jelly to eat with meat." Dunc Europué‘Now, boys, don't all speak for the wishbone." QUINCI 8 AND TFA LEAVES.

Some women lie awake of nights to devise a new dish which will awaken wonder and envy in the other women who are to dine with them. This is especially true in small towns where the same friends meet often at one another's homes; there is-(requently a rivalry between neighbors which consumes time. money and energy. and turns the rites of hospitality in- to an epicurean cult. One noted woman was taken una- wares by a party of distinguished visitors whose letter announcing their coming had somehow failed of delivery. They appeared just at din- ner time. tired and hungry.
