" WaH till I ask, my girl, that's all," said Tow, with an aggressive laugh. So Miss Hilda Dtdeimer was fain to be content with the terms her brother voluntarily submitted to, nor did he give Iter the slightest cause for uneasiness. Her mother, happy at having her son near her and aeuiag hira occasionally, acquiesced in the conspiracy of silence regarding him, and as his existence was not suspected by any one, no contretemps arose.

Hilda found it necessary to abandon vehemence, and ineistahoe, and to adopt plausible arguments to bring her mother round to ber1 views. She feigned to believed that her brother was innocent, and pointed out that to draw attention to hit unfortunate position, from which he would doubtless be honorably acoaitted.

Dulcimer pleaded fli mmm mm almost went on ber knee to her daughter to spare her'th afouy of going into society whoa bar son's trial was floes at hand. The beautiful Hilda was fmeirorable; to begin wkh, without her mother' escort ahe woukl navA to absent herself also; but aimrt from thia it seemed to be of tut 'Tory highest impcrtaaee At seek aevitieal time that they should appear among their friends aa usual. She so impressed tak upon her unhappy mother's mind that the poor lady suJfered ber self to be over-persuaded, asui she aeoompanled her daughter, with the bravest air she could muster. When the guests had all assembled at Middlesex, Lodge it was found that Ijord Lexicon was late, and after wait ing for him nearly half an hour it was decided to go down, to dinner without him. Hilda, who looked ber best, was most graciously received by every one, and felt in no way uneasy at .Lord Lexicon's absence, for bit Lordship's habit of travel bsd rendered him a little forgetful of the exit'ncie8 of polite society. In fact, to be late for dinner was an' idiosyncrasy of hie which excited verv little surmiae. Hilda would have enjoyed herself perfectly but fori vague apprehensions on her mother s account It may be that she felts twinge of remorse when she glanced at the poor old lady's bloodies face and tremulous hands. She saw that net mother was in a condition of nervous tension and auppreesed 'exeiteaneat which might culminate ia a auddtsa attack of illness. When dinner waa -over, but before the'ladiee had left the table, the dooi opened and Lord Lexicon appeared. "Beg your pardon, Ducheee; awfully sorry, Duke!" be cried, in his impet uous fashion, as he took the vacant chair next Hilda and gently squtoatd her hand., "Don't have dinner up for me. I had something te eat while I dressed." A nice way of coming out for dinner!" laughed the Duke. "I will tell yon what kept me," aald Lord Lexicon, in a loud and distinct tone, for the old Duke at the head of the table was a little-deaf. "When I was in Mexico about two years ago I chummed for a while with a very nice young Englishman, who saved mv life at the risk of his own.

Imagine a poor fellow km his position being deserted by his nearest and dearest! Not his parents, surely!"' exclaimed the Duchess: "His parent! Well,' hie father is dead, and his mother poor lady, seems to have done what she dared for hitnv" said Lord Lexicon, in a gentler tone. ''As far at I could gather, it it a sieter who kt to blame. From all accounts this young lady mutt be absolutely heartless and aelfish." ;Amki the expressions of surprise and indignation which this recital excited Hilda Dulcimer, whose embarratstnent only betrayed iteelf by a becoming Hush upon her e keeks, stele aa anxious glance at htr. met ber. Mrs. DukMuer was staring' eagerly at the speaker with distended. eyes her faoe deadly pale, her frame rigid. "I pitched Ins&Trewer for mot sending for me," ooninuod Lord.

S W TOBY OF A BEETLE Ser.ll 4 TM. a. Oat day, a early a hundred years ago, ht the old French seaport town of Bordeaux, there was a fttsie sthV in a certain dark corner, and .a beetle walked out to take itofljrt look at the world. It was not a specially handsome or remarkable beetle kt i appearance, and yet H had quite a work to do. Not the ordinary work" of such inseote, however; though that Is an Jmportant one, the beetles of this family being scavengers, but the principal life-work of this beetle was to save a man from death. Perhaps when King David in his Psalm called upon all "creeping things" "to praise the Lord from the earth," he may not have thought especially of beetles, yet this little insect was to be the cause of mutch thanksgivingThe house under which this beetle had its home was a prison, known as the Grande Seminaire, and in one of the cells of the prison was the- man that was to be rteoued by the beetle. His same was Pierre Latriista. Little had he dreamed, as- the east that bort him and his con pan teas to prison oreaksd along the road to Bordeaux, that he should ever live to. be free again in his native land. For those were evil days inf fvanoe.- Even the good-natured, honest King, himself, poor Louh -XVI.,' was powerless to shield hut wife said children from the fury of the French people., The royal family were already m danger,, and the iniquities ef the two prevloiis Louis' were being visited on their comparatively innocent descendants. Ail of the nobility and 'clergy who nefused to take their oath on the new constitution west thrown into, prison, and -it was er this reason that Pierre Latrellleand his companions had been imprisoned at Bordeaux. It is small wonder that Pie me was sad as hesat in bis prison cell with no one to keep him company but an old sick Bishop. No doubt Latseille often thought, during the dreary prison days, of his past life, his young boyhood in his native' town of Brive, in the rich plain by the river Correae. His family had been poor; though" distinguished, and Pierre himself owed his education to the kindness of friends. One of these, a merchant, lent him some books on natural history, and it was from reading these that Pierre nrst earns to love the study of insects. When he was sixteen ht was sent to Paris, and there studied theology, but upon hia return te his native town he began the study of inseote again with great seal. He bad even published some of his discoveries, about insects, and now, to all appearance, this study must come to an end. Out in the harbor of Bordeaux ships were making ready to take the prisoners away from rranoe. They were condemned to exile ia South America. Still the prisons were emptied slewly, and although it was June when Latmillt was first taken to Bordeaux, yet the days and months crept by and still he lived wjthin the Grande Se nun aire. The little beetle lived there, toe, although the prisoners did not know it One day a surgeon oame to set the old Bishop in LatreiUe's oelL The prist authorities had allowed the surgeon to come daily and drew the wounds of this aged man. This particular day, while, the turgeon was ia the cell the little beetle came out of, a crack In the boards and crawled into the room. Latreillt, looking around, spied the beetle, caught it and began to examine H. He seemed so happy over hk discovery that the surgeon looked up and said: "Is it a rare insect?" ' "Yes." said Latreillt, who knew, from his previous studies, mat H must be so. . "In that ease you sh euht give H te me," said the surgeon: and he went en to explain tcLskrenle that he had a friend who had a line eoiketioa of insects, and who woehi probably htmuoh pleased to receive a rare oat. v Be Latreillt gavtup his beetle to the surgeon and told hktt to carry H to his friend, and to be sort and ask him the name of it Bat when, the next day, the surgeon made his visit to the oell, he brought news that his friend had looked at the beetle, and had givtnt it as his opinion, that this was a hew kind of Insect that bad never beta described.

Mary JC. Bamford. in N. Y. Osserssr. AN INDUSTRIOUS BOY. The Wkieh Cri SaHat;. MahtUi .emuuJMfrBd Mia sKaMAfMJT Last week, in rladelphht, Pa., the semi-eentennial anniversary of the entrance of Mr. Edward O. Knight late business was celebrated. Mr. Knight began his business career as an errand boy ea a salary of two dollars per week, and saved somethiag every week, and while stiM a very young man opened a grocery store with a cap Hal of two hundred dell are saved from his earnings. Two things, certainly, Mr. Knight did as a boy. He kept hss eyes open, and learned every thing be, possibh could learn about the business; he did not waste any moaey. It is not at all probable that he bought cigarettes, or owned innumerable neckuee or worn large brass rings or pins, or drank many glasses of soda water. Another thing. It is not at all likely that he got to the office five to fifteen minutes late three mornings hi the week, er just got inside the doer every morning at the last possible minute. He was there on timet and had risen early enough in the moraine to reach business neatly and carefully dressed and ready to oommeace the duties at ones. It is not at all likely that he watched the. face of the cloak the last half -hour of the may, doing the work that tame to him in a half -hearted spirit, or as a bey ef eighteen, a stock clerk, did to the writer during the last week. The large store where he is employed closes at six p. m. A customer hurried ia to purchase goods to match some purchased a wees; before. The stock clerk was asked by the salesman for the goods, and -answered ia the most nonchalant manner: "All gone." " What! why, there was a roll of H yesterday." "All sold." But the salesman hurried along the line of goods three or four times, saying, ia a pu saling tone: " It's very strange" The stock clerk said aotfamr. but stood frowning at the clock. Win 3'es, ef course, hers it it," and salesman tumbled a large roll to Boer. A flush of shame passed the stock clerk's face, and he turned his back. He knew he had stolon nearly fifteen minutes of hit empieyer's time, and wasted that much of the customer's rather than disturb the stock, which was in good order. That young man will be a elerk all his Ufa. He does not attend to busiates in i business-like spirit 7, . Another thing: Mr. Knisrht never rea-i soned ia this way: "I'm not roiar toi kill yself. He only pays mt two dellers a week.- Iam not going to kill myself for that If be wants mt to work harder Just let htm pay me more money." Foolish boy! Do you suppose that a boy who, does two dollars1 worth of work is going to be paid three dollars for doing It? Ko! when you want three dollars a week, do five dollars' worth of work; Remember that your employer expects to make a profit on your labor. He buys your Mms, and every minute of the working hours belongs to him. Another thing: When Mr. Knight was a boy, he mast have watched the business methods about him, and received many valuable hints that enabled him to transact his own busiaoat intelligently. H hoys would only remember that their entrance into business is ah entrance into a new school, they would learn Very much' more than they do. ' Mr. Knight says: "I cautioned my clerks to give good weight, and I always represented goods as they were. Honor is indispensable la Mercantile lift.... In fifty years I have signed everV hoes sent out by this house?' Honetky and devotion to business two iadVeehsable foundation stones to a sndotesrui business life. To-dav Mr. Knirht k rated the miUfonaires of Philadelphia member, he ber an ss a none hav ea a salary of two dollars per wtek.
