and had spent a week in Brussels. More attractive than tho field of Waterloo and more fascinating than the Mnsee Wicrtz was the Galtifie St. Hubert. Miss Melissa Wylie could not resist the white Brussels lace; Miss Annora Wylie could not resist the black. Each of the ladies bought; led on by the tempter, in the shape of a seductive shop woman, the Misses Wylie bought lace fichus, lace collarettes, lace by the meter. Day by day they added to their stock. At length it was necessary to make for England and to pass through that dreadful France with its protective duties. Then they realized their position.
How about tho lace?
“We cannot conscientiously say,” remarked Miss Melissa, “that we have rien a declarer (nothing to declare) because this lace is dutiable.” “And we dare not risk packing it,” returned Miss Annora, “because they might take it into their heads to exam-
ine our boxes. ’’
“How can we get it through?” mused
the elder sister.
“We must get it through!” declared
the younger sister.
Presently Annora exclaimed: “I have it! We will wear it! No duty is jjaid on what one is wearing. ” “Yes, yes,” said Melissa, “but how can we wear it? The white will get soiled and the black tom in traveling. Besides, if it looks unnatural, as it would on our dresses and mantles, the officials will be sure to notice it. ” “It would not look unnatural on our bonnets,” said Annora. They set to work to decorate their bonnets with tho lace. They mingled white and black, fichu and flounce, in the most skillful manner, and though the bonnets Its iked somewhat overdone, yet they carried the lace, and it was probable that the male eyes of the custom house officials would not notice anything abnormal. The Misses Wylie rejoiced in their cleverness. They sat in the train on their way to France with clear consciences and light hearts. They had rien a declarer—nothing dutiable. In the compartment with them was only one other passenger, a stout man of good
listen to a language which they do not
understand.
At last the train slowed into Blandain station, the frontier. Out jumped the Misses Wylie with their hand baggage. They calmly awaited the approach of the officers. Out lumbered the Germau with his fatuous smile. He sauntered tip to one of the chief of the donane. “Rien a declarer,” said both ladies. “Eau de cologne, dentcllcs, tabao, spirituenx” (cologne water, lace, tobacco, spirits), the officer ran off. “Rien, rien,” said the Misses Wylie.
I entreat your forgiveness, ladies; 1
more, I humbly ask a favor.” “Sir?” exclaimed Annora.
“Miss Wylie, Miss Annora Wylie”— the presuming wretch had seen their ■ names on their luggage, even their Christian names—“you will confer a great favor on me if you will tell me
! your address. ”
Annora reddened; Melissa blushed. Perhaps ho was ashamed of tho cruel I | part he had played and was about to ' offer an apology; perhaps their bravo and gentle endurance of misfortune had

“Rather,” they conceded. “And to carry it on the bonnet is a convenient manner of avoiding tho du- i ty.” They were undone! “But wo are wearing itl” screeched Annora. Melissa panted “Mesdames, I admire your ingenuity, hut such an amount of new lace cannot be passed even on yonr bonnets. Two, three, five meters, ’ ’ he went on, measuring the unlucky lace with his eye, “fichu, flounce, etc. So many franca or I confiscate it. ” “En voiture, s’il vous plait!” was heard. The sum demanded by tho officer added to what they had paid in purchase would have made tho lace the dearest that ever was bought. They tore off their bonnets, pulled out innumerable pins, set free the fichus, flounces, etc., put them into the officer’s hands and ran to their seats. Out of breath and out of pocket, they were most unhappy. Successful cheating is one thing, but unsuccessful cheating is another and causes sharp pangs of conscience. “Too bud!” cried Melissa as the train moved on. “We were entitled to what
The stranger made a note of tho address. Melissa was on the point of asking his name when he said abruptly, “You shall hear from me.” Then ho discoursed on the country throngh which they were passing, after which he buried himself in a Figaro and talked no more. At the next stoppage he said a brusque “Good morning, ladies,’’and left the compartment, and they saw no more of
him.
There was a considerable flutter in tho breast of Melissa, who was of a romantic turn of mind, and who could only imagine one reason why this stranger should want her address. She still believed thfft he was a German who spoke English remarkably well, and she had seen that he was not a gentleman; she therefore made up her mind to refuse the offer of marriage which no doubt he would shortly make. Arrived in Angelina gardens, the Misses Wylie were occupied in arranging the household, and a couple of busy days were spent by them. On the third day after their home coming they received by the same post a parcel and a letter. Annora opened the carefully tied and sealed parcel, while Melissa read the letter. Having read it once to her-
