readiness to meet Donald at High’ Street Hall when he came Cm 'from' nig lodging. One supreme fact empowered her to this, the sense that, come what would, she had secured him. Half and hour after her arrival he walked jn, and she met him with a relieved’ gladness which a month’s perilous absence could not have intensified. “There is onft' thing I have not done, and yet it is important,” she ■*aid, earnestly, when she had finished talking about the adventure with the bull; “that is broken the news of our marriage to my dear Elizabeth Jane.” “Ah, and you have not,” he said, thoughtfully. “I gave her a lift from the barn homeward; but laid not tell her either, for I thought she might have heard of it in the town, and was keeping back her congratulations from shyness, and all that.” “She can hardly have heard of it. But I’ll find out; I’ll go to her now. And Donald, you don’t mind her living on with me just the same as before? She is so quiet and unassuming.”

“Oh, no; indeed I don’t,” Farfrae answered, with perhaps a faint awkwardness. “But I wonder if she would care to?” “Oh, yes,” said Luoetta, eagerly. “I am sure she would like to. Besides, poor thing, she has no other home.” 1 * Farfrae looked at her, and saw that she did not suspect the secret of her more reserved friend. He liked her all the better for the blindness. “Arrange as you like with her by all means,” he said. “It is I who have come to your house, not you to mine.” “I’ll run and speak to her,” said Lucetta. When she got upstairs to Elizabeth Jane’s room, the latter had taken off her out-door things, and was resting over a book. Lucetta found in a moment that she had not as yet learned the news. “I did not come down to you, Miss Templeman,” she said simply. “I was coming to ask if you had quite recovered from your fright, but I found you had a visitor. What are the bells ringing for, I wonder, and the band, too, is playing. Somebody must be married; or else they are practicing for Christmas.” Lucetta uttered a vague “Yes,” and seated herself by the other young woman looking musingly at her, “What a lonely creature you are,” she presently said; “never knowing what’s going on, or what people are talking about everywhere with keen interest. You should get out and gossip about as other women do, and then you wouldn’t be obliged to ask me a question of that kind. Well, now I have something to tell you.” Elizabeth Jane said she was so glad, and made herself receptive. (to be continued. )

A Pathetic Scene. St. Louis Globe-Domocrat. “One of the most pathetic scenes that ever came under my observation,” said E. D. Ennis, “was at a country store on the Big Sandy river, in Vv r est Virginia. I was there as a special postoffice inspector, and was sitting in the store one bitterly cold night. The wind howled dismally through the trees on the mountain side, blowing gusts of snow down the wide chimney into the fire-place at the end of the store room. The door opened, and a feeble old woman, wearing a thin calico dress and a faded sun-bonnet, came in timidly, as if fearing bad news. ‘I don’t reckon you aint’ got nothin’ for me,’ she said to the store-keeper. ‘Yes; I’ve got a letter,’ and the old woman clutched it to her bosom as if it was the dearest thing on earth to her, and with a quick step, born of happiness, she walked out. T wrote that letter myself,’ said the store-keeper to me. ‘Her son went down to the river on a raft three years ago and was drowned. The old woman could never understand that the boy was dead, and she writes to him every week, just backing her letters, “My Bill, Down the River.” It hurts her so not to get any answers that every week I write to her and sign Bill’s name.’ ” A Fifth Avenue “Free Lunch” Saloon. New York Sun. One the curiosities of Fifth avenue is a free lunch saloon in a fashionable part of the thoroughfare. It is the only place of the kind in a stretch of three or four miles, but it is much like such places in other parts of town, and when hot soup is served there is a crowd in attendance from stables, workshops, small stores, and the like in neighboring side streets. The queer little place seems to fill the needs of a somewhat dry neighborhood. Miss Fiona Kimball selected the trees and superintended the planting of them on seven miles of the streets of National City, Col. She was requested to undertake the work by the Supervisor, who deemed her the most corapeten t persoa for the place.

A TIHEP AT LAME. Kmbezzler Cal Armstrong: Breaks Jail at * Kokomo. Calvin Armstrong, the defaulting Tipton county deputy -treasurer, who was sentenced at Kokomo, Monday, to three years for embezzling $43,000 of public funds, broke jail Monday night and is now a fugitive. Monday afternoon the prisoner sawed off a two-inch bar of his cell on the second story of the Jail, and, sliding down to the first floor, secreted himself behind the cage at the far end of the corridor, taking a section of the bar two inches In diameter and two feet long with him to use as a weapon. He remained there until the sheriff came in to feed the prisoners, and when that officer went upstairs with the supper Cal and a tramp, Indicted for stoning a train, made a rush for the open door. The' officer upstairs did not hear them, and by a combination of singular circumstances the noted embezzler escaped unnoticed. The escapo was not discovered until 6 o’clock Tuesday morning, giving the fugitive twelve hours the start of all pursuers. How ho got out of town without being recognized is a mystery, but that ho had accomplices seems certain. The Tipton county people, whoso money the gay young Deputy Treasurer had squandered on the race track and in gambling rooms, are furious over tho escape.

The journal cleric of the House has formulated a rule to prevent filibustering as follows: Whenever, upon a roll-call, a quorum fails to appear, upon the demand of any member, the cleric shall certify a list of the members not voting on such call to the sergeant-at-arms, who shall deduct from the monthly compensation of each member so failing to vote the amount of hissalary for one day; provided that this deduction shall not be made in the case of a member who is absent by leave of the House. This rule, if adopted, simply carries out existing laws. It is believed that if the salaries of members were deducted when they refused to vote, .the practice of abstaining on importanUroIi calls would be speedily discontinued, and it is very probable that the method of stopping this abuse devised by Mr. Crutchfield will very shortly be adopted as one of the permanent rules of the House. STATE LINCOLN LEAGUE, The annual meeting of the State Lincoln League was hold at Indianapolis, Tuesday. President Sulzer delivered a lengthy address setting forth the prospects of the Republican party, which he considered especially bright, and depicting the demoralization of the Democracy, which ho said was entirely hopeless.
