This passion resembled a spring which. overflowing suddenly. sweeps away all artificial boundaries, and makes its natural channel. Mrs. Everett lived over her early years of married life, and traced. as it were on a map, the lines of departure from ways of love and consideration to those of selfishness and indifference.

Toward the end of the month, Itose yielded to her husband', advice and re- turned home with her lathe-r and grandmother. The city was ttrt and dusty, and the monotony ot suspense was beginning to tell upon her ap- pearance. Carefully prepared state- ments had apprised the public tint the bank was solvent, and that the pecuni- ary affairs of its missing president were in s flourishing condition. So the fact of his absence ceased to attract fem-run notice and discussion, and his amily pursued all known means for his discovery, with only dishearten- ing_ results. - _ "Ah. but we were not to think of curb things to-day." Mr. Pounce wrote his invitationsand left the room with them. Rose was grateful for the rest and quiet. and when the old man returned, her dreamy smile rewarded him for his goodness. She spoke playfully. "After all, there are hairy god-fath- ers in the world." “It takes it good little girl to make one appear.

The villagers, in groups of three or four, in twos, or tsingly-in beat bon- nets with blue and red ribbons, in long cloaks puckered up round their necks, or in clean smacks of faded green and dingy drab-came bubbling by on their road to morning service.

The eldest Miss Dane was organist and choir leader in her father's church, and was on her way to Sunday morning duty. She was two years older than her brother, and was a good specimen of a hard-working, sensible-minded, country clergyman‘s daughter. She was her father's right hand, and the prop and tsupport-as we” as the admonishtsr--of the whole village of Coddisham.

One Sunday morning, late ln Octo- ber, the church bells were ringing merrily from the square grey tower at the end of the village, and the red yellow leaves were fluttering down in quick little showers from the over- hanging limes and chestnuts on eith- er side of the road. A trout stream rustled and gurgled with a pleasant murmur through a narrow green meadow which divided the struggling irregular street of thatched and gamed cottages on the right, from the old church. in its green churchyard to the left. It, the church, stood upon a little conical hill, that lifted it above the road, so that any- one upon the bridge across the river could only we the porch and the lower portion of the ivied walls, and the green, swelling graves that surround- ed them; till the upper part was hid- den by the long arching boughs of the avenue trees that led up to it, and Whose trenches, like friendly hands, stretched forth and interlaced them- selves overhead. for tho night, Rose received a little note, and going a short distance down tht red,, {quad Lam-y apyaitintr Aer.

A report has been circulated since it was known that Fritz was to go to Berlin that the warrior Kaiser in much interested in the beast and means to see if expcrlrnenta cannot be made with him to determine just how effec- tive elephants may be in modern wu- "Fritz," assuming that to be his new name for sake of argument, is an elephant with a history. He has been for sixty years the chief public executioner of Burmah. And as elo- phants are very long-lived, he has still forty years to live in the Berlin Zoo. Thin link-sausage of a name may be several syllables out of joint, but it doesn't matter. The beast will have to be renamed annow-"Fritz" or "Max" or "Ernest" or possibly even "Wilhelm." Because he is not going to be a Burmese elephant any longer, but a Balinese, a. naturalized citizen of the German Empire. The reasons of this practical although simple expression of surprise and in- terest were twofold. Firstly, he had never seen the person who was advanc- ing towards him in his life, before, which, considering that he knew ev- ery man, woman and child within a radius of ten Miles from Coddisham, was peculiar. and secondly. in the whole course of his existence he had never, to his knowledge, seen anybody yet in the very least like her. To be Continued. It will be a great change. Men have trembled and turned pale at the bare mention of Fritz's Burmese name. Robbers and murderers were his play- thing. When they were thrown to him in Isis pit, he welcomed them with a wide grin. Very deliberately, but conclusively, he set his broad toot upon his man. squeezing the life out of him in one agonizing moment. It was, at any rate, more merciful than the "peine dure et torte"--the death by pressure of the Middle Ages. And it may be more merciful to let an elephant kill crimi- nals than to let them be shocked to death by electricity, as is done in some places even now.

He lifted his head sharply-and saw the figure of a woman coming slowly along the road towards him under the over-arching branches of the chestnut trees. There was something in the as- pect of this female figure which caus- ed Geoffrey Dana‘s brown eyes to open themselves to their widest and full- est, thereby displaying the fact that they were very beautiful eyes,--and al- so still further to give signs of aston- ishment hy a sudden reversal of him- self-that is to say, whereas up to now he had leant forwards upon the para- pet of the bridge, he now leant back- wards upon it, supporting himself with his elbows behind him upon the wall, so that he faced the oncoming fig- ure along the road. the details of daily Ittts, but It did not shock Mr. Dane at all that his son should prefer an idle morning on the bridge, with his pipe, and the sunshine, and the trout, to the long service in the crowded little church; he thought it very natural for a man who was oooped up in a London office all the year round, and would have been more inclined to blame him for a pharisaioa.1 attendance, than for his more honest absence. . So Geoffrey stayed on the bridge, and it was not accounted unto him for Bye and bye the church bells stopped, and the last straggler went in, and the doors were shut, and there fell a profound silence upon the road, and the world without. Now that the clanging sounds were hushed, you could bear, with a delicious diatinetnetgs, the soft undertone of Nature's voices, the gurgling of the running water, the far- away "Coseoroo" of a wood-pigeon, and even the rustle of each particu- lar little brown and yellow leaf " it flooted down to its death upon the moist bosom of the earth. How long this lasted he never after- wards could have told you, but all at once, he became aware with that strange occult instinct that we all poo- sess, more or less, though few of us know the why or wherefore of it, that he was no longer alone in that still landscape. Borne presence had invaded his solitude, some other human entity beyond his own shared in the sweet influences of the sunshine and the air. The young man upon the bridge might have been carved out of stone, so quiet, so immovable did he remain; and so intensely was he in harmony with the absolute and delicious stillness round him. , it sin TO BECOME A ZTEPOO.

The sky, which had been of inky blackness, was now one mass of quivering brilliant continuous elw trio waves leaving the sky tl lurid red- dish hue. Against the hillsides and down the valleys the electric fluid flashed like shining streams of quick- silver. The waving branches were one moment a mass of silvery light, the next they vanished from sight in the black pull of hurtling darkness. BO- tween eleven pan. and midnight the storm reached its height. The barome- ter had fallen to 29.462, and the velo- city of the wind, for one mile, was sev- enty-tive miles per hour. The raging of the wind deudened the sound of even the thunder, and the strongest houses swayed to and fro beneath the gusts. "When a sunless daybreak came on Sunday, town and country were under water, and the rain continued to full with more or less regularity until Monday morning. When at length it was possible to get around on Sunday, the signs of desolation on every side Were heartrendlng. Never had it been our lot to look upon scenes more re- plete with misery and woe. The streets were shallow rivers filled with trees roofs of houses, telephone posts and palimdes. and were impassable except to foot passengers. On every side roof- less cottages met the eye, whilst thou- sands of homeless, chilly, rain-tsoaked halt-naked persons wandered around, taint from fright and want of food,too dazed at their misfortune to do more than state blindly at the places from which their homes and all their posses- sions had been swept away.
