Miss Gordon, failing in her Indirect endeavors, set a silent watch upon the mucio-t«aeher herself, sure that at dome time a doe must fell that would lead her to her object. She had grown much better of her attack of illness was, in fact, to all outward seeming, well and made earnest, though fruitless, use of health in pursuit of this oWect.

And so, aa summer had lauaed Into autumn, autumn firate Into winter, and —«ay capital of the dreary kingdom of frost—-Christmas rose onoe more to the surfiwe of the tide of time—C hristmas, that loosens the bonds of toll, that for day says to the troubled waters of com merce and trade,

bo still—a

queen of time, crowned with the berries of the holly and blossoms of llfes springtide—wrought even to plodding Miss Reynolds a season of rent, and a week's escape from the monotony of the country town to the throbbing Hie of thi

railroad ran through Salem. Three busy blood vessels of the social world had not yet reached its remote locality. It lay apart, the active centre of a large rural district, touched at present but by the capillary vessels of a line of stages, thoa^n an incipient railroad was on its alow way thither.

The nearest station on the main Ine was some fifteen milea distant, and to this point, on the morning of the day before Christmas, Miss Reynolds took the stage, warmly wrapped from the sharp winter air. The stage was well filled, and waa followed shortly by a second, one not being nearly sufficient to accommodate the many holiday travelers. In fri« seoond ooach rode Miss Gordon, so closely enveloped in Airs as to be scaioelv recognizable. She, too, seemed in tending to spend her Christmas from boms.

Mtn Reynolds mado her journey in a half-dream, listlessly looking through ffttifth and car windows at a landscape peopled more with the forms of her reveriewith real constituents. Her fancies were closely entwined with those of

book which she bore with her, and dipped into for occasional miles of the

Journey—Tennyson,

story

an author of "fool

for fancy.' Now drinking in the subtle imaginings of'The Lotus Eaten*,' as they swept through a bare, broad plain clad with leafless trees and dun term-houses. with sluggish streams winding slowly down creeping out of a mist that lay upon the horizon and stretched its vapory fold* into the middle distance. Again wandering slowly down the throbbing verses of "Locksley Hall" with ito sad

of a disappointed ana aimless life, the fierce utterances of fervid soul, in which that aboriginal savagery which in men Inherit breaks through the walls of civilization, and breaks out into the wild logic of the primeval man. And meanwhile the tram thundered down a mountain valley, with forest-clad slopes and walls of bare rock rising on either side with a broad stream rushing in torrent ecstasy beside the road with wild glens and dark ravines through the hills the whole scene as savage as the custom rending fancies of the world-sad-dened creation of the poet.

As the hours of the day wore on, and they drew near the city, the hills sank into broad lowlands, the forest yielded more and more to the farm, villages grew frequent, thrifty farm houses, surrounded with small hamlets of outbuild-

ed pleasure ground, and aSf these con comitants of wealth and refinement that aeem native to the ancestral homes of long lines of noble men and cultured women.

And now she turned, In sympathy with the scene, to the 'Lord of Burleigh, and read how the simple landscapepainter brought home his peasant-bride to such a lordly seat, and overwhelmed her soul

With tlw burden of a honor anto which ahr was riot born.** Closing the book, her head foil Ibrward upon her hand, her fine face flail of a i-..Tn"sa born, not of her reading, but o! inner source of sorrow that had been touched by the sentiment of the poem.

And so they whirled into the turmoil of the depot, and into the roar of the great city, she all unaware that two keen eyes had watched her through'ui. the journey, that a vigilant pursuer iollowed her into the street, that the lady who sat near her lu the horse-oar shapeless In l»er wraps and veiled beyond recognition, ww an unflagging Ibew burned to

T- this latter «*«**, vruthat :nus festival attained mwhj buatlii proportions For rodetl ughscenes worthy a Roman carnival, through a luatre thi isde the long street seem a jeweled aw :'•*.

Miss Reyi la left the c-.-. it one of the up-town *ueeta, still cloa^_ followed by her foe, whose presence was quite unnotioe "e among the numbers of poo. pie al id. She walked with a slow step, aa if In no great haste to reach her dcatin-*t'n. Leaving the main avenue, sheen red one of the smaller streets in the vicinity, and, pror ling along this for a short distance, siupped before a modest three-story house. Hers she paused for two or three minutes, aa if wishing yet fearing to enter, then suddenly opened the door, without ringing and closed it behind her.

Her pursuer, who had passed on the other side of the street, now crowed over, intently examining the front of the house that had swallowed up the person whom for so many miles she had closely followed. The front, however, revealed nothing more than a number. All with in was dark and silent. No voice or sound of any description emerged through the dark window or closed door, The house was small, but in good condition, and the whole neighborhood quiet and respectable.

Miss Gordon would have preferred to wait there In hopes of gaining new information. But the hours were slipping on. She had yet to seek a friend with whom she hau engaged to pass the holiday week. 8ho knew the house, and could readily return to it. It was best for her to give up her quest for the present, and return at some more convenient opportunity. And so she bent her steps away, feeling in her heart as she dia so, a sudden disgust at the meanness of her whole action, yet determined not to leave her search unfulfilled. So often we stand on the brink of opportunities, and let them pass us bjr. She turned away just five minutes too soon to end her quest on thespot. The riddle waa fully answered in that brief interval, but she who sought its solution was gone.

She soon found that she had made a great oversight in paying a visit when she had sunt pressing •work in hand. She dared not reveal her business to her friend. This friend had projected numberless visits and entertainments for the Christmas week, much to the vexation of her visitor, who found it almost impossible to go into the street alone without offending the hostess.

Twice only was she able to return to the house chiefly interesting to her of the numberless residences ot the city. On the first occasion she discovered nothing. On the second, she waa in time to see Miss Reynolds leave the house, and enter a street car for the centre of the city. Now was her chance. Scarce considering, or forming any plan of action, she rang the door-bell, and entered the house as the door was opened by a young girl, who somewhat resembled Miss Reynolds. She penetrated into a small

with music. Sister is ont and nobody home but me wont vou please leave your name?' said the chud.

A little, discreditable cross-examina-tion followed, eliciting nothing of im portance from the child, who was rathei frightened by this showily-dressed, strange woman. Finally, sadly disappointed, Miss Gordon had to leave, not a ot wiser for an act of which she would feel ashamed during the remainder of her life.

In her excursions round the city with her friend she met Miss Reynolds twice, once in a music-store, once the ball of the Mercantile Library building. In this latter encounter Miss Reynolds recognised her, staring with surprise as she did so, though the trained woman of the world passed by without the most distant sign of recognition. Miss Reynolds stopped as if inclined to address her. but the next instant moved on without doing so.

The week was gone and nothing learned. To-morrow morning the teacher would start on her return. That Miss Gordon knew. New Year's night bad already fallen, when the spy, in a last effort, again approached the house. The front room was lighted, the curtain, within slightly raised. Hope sprang in her heart. Approaching the window with a feline tread, she _g®ve a rapid, starching glance within. There, rovealed to her eyes In its base enormity, in the full glare of the gas, broke forth in frill solution the deep hidden mystery that Reynolds.

DIETETIC HOBBIES.

A hobby of any kind Is a bad thing to have It is ss lmd almost as a disease in ffcet It unfrequently creates maladies of the body or brain, both.

The most common kind of hobbles grow out of the necessity for food, the good or evil results which are found to follow the use of special articles of diet, and the generalisation from the individual tact of a system of law that Is to suit all people at all times and under all circumstance*.

At different periods of their exisWhce almost every man and woman has been controlled in the matter of diet by one or more hobbles, and the difficulty Is that It is the more intelligent and well-to-do class who are usually thus affected —people who read and think and re In the habit of communicating to others what they know. Moreover, they are not content with tiding their own hobbies, but to the utmost extent of Jthelr power and their influence thev impose them upon others, and compel them to accept what they have found good, Such persons may hold np their hands in horror at the despotism of the church and Inquisition, but they are of the stuff of which despots arc made, only in this dav it imposes the torture of a certain kind of foed upon the human stomach, instead of a certain set "f opltjioiw upon the human mind.

As a Methodist, my weak point always waa that I did not like class meetings and when I was a a good little boy (long time ago) and read the autobiography of John Bunyan, the "miserable mingled enough of humor and philosophy with his confession to redeem it almost. Ho began by a neatly turned compliment

the

"Kentucklans," and a statement that he had been much surprised at the invitation to oome to Richmond. However, he responded on the same principle that an ola colored woman joined the church. She joined every quarterly meeting, and on the seventieth occasion her master asked her why she did so. 8he said: "Just to enoourage the preacher."

Once he was standing on the street in Indianapolis, and a policeman tapped him on the shoulder, with—"Tousey I want you to go to jail/'

What for?" You're drunk. At this point some one inthegallen n.- rmt "Louder 1" and raising hk

__ led the laugh on the Interrupter, and kept the houso in a roar for some minutes. [If it was not a "set up job it was a very happy repartee.]

I am not drnnk," was his reply to the policeman. Then oome to jail on general princi,, ples, for if you're not drunk now, you will be before noon."

He went to jail, and had to pawn his watch to get out. He continued with a sketch of his early life—his marriage, his fall into intemperance, his attempts to reform, and enlistment in the army, with the hope of being free from temptations. But he was made regimental clerk and had access to all the whisky in the camp. Sitting one day at the captain's table, vainly trying to arrange some papers, but unable to do so from the effects of liquor, his captain placed before him a letter containing the announcement of the demh oi i«is only son. Anguish sobered him instantly, and he again tried to rofbrm. Ho returned to Indianapolis, procured a good position and was happy and prosperous, until one day, in 1868, a friend asked him to take a glass of ale. He yielded, and in one hour he was drunk and crazy. He wandered to the depot got into a train, and it landed him in St. Louis. Little by little he parted with his good clothes for rags and spent the money thus obtained for liquor. A fit of madness seised him, and he wandered he knew not whither. One night he sudden! came to himself, lying by a straw stac in the country, He looked up and saw one bright star shining down upon him Then, as if from heaven, came an assurance to his soul. "You will live and get baek to your family." Through the charity of a bar-tender on the road he made his way back to St. Louis, and was lodged in the station house until the mayor telographed to his friends and got him transported home. When clothed In his right mind onoemore,in comparing notes with his wile he found tliat the very hour, as near as they could determine, when he woke and saw the bright star shining down between the straw-stacks, his wife and some friends were engaged in prayer for his safety and return. He aacriixkl his deliverance to the grace of God, in answer to the irayersofhls wife. Since that time he uwf never tasted liquor, and with the help of God, he would never do so again.

efforts bv always mounting a hobby or becoming the advocate*, of a special system. Sometimes it is beans, sometimes It is brown bread, sometimes oatmeal, and again the exclusion of salt or meat flrom the range of culinary foraas.

Prof Blot, by urging the eating of fiah to feed the brain, probably doubled its sale, as be certainly augmented the nrioe, in the large cities of this country. ISow, we are not disposed to undervalue fish as an article ef diwt, but If the result spoken of worn sure to follow, what might not be expected flrom those who live mainly on fish, and espredally raw fids, aa the Australians and South Sea Ialanders

Our own Cape Cod has undoubtedly furnished its qnota of brain, but not to the exceptional extent that might have been anticipated if this theory were correct. There are families which, in consequence of ene man's hobby, reftweto admit the succulent tomato to their midst, and there are others which, in consequence of another man's hobby, compel their members to eat and drink huge quantities of bean soup!

Now, beans are difficult of digestion, requiring also the admixture of butter or pork to render them palatable. Much liquid, moreover, weakens the digestive powers of the stomach, so that a more formidable test of capacity ceuld hardly be applied to the tital apparatus than bean soup and baked beans. Still, they are doubtless good In their way. and particularly applicable to a cold climate, a hardy race, and to conditions which preclude the use of much else in the way of vegetables during the long winter and soring

Just so in regard to oatmeal, which is beat-producing, health-importing, and most valuable as an exclusive article of food capable of standing in the place of many others as we see exemplified in the case of Scotchmen, thau whom no finer race exists, and who make it a paincipal article of diet.

But even if it could le obtained in this country, which is possible only to a limited extent, we doubt If much benefit would follow from Its use. Our people have not got wn or up to oatmeal yet. To make a regular breakfast of it, ana nothing else, would look like poverty to them—at least they would be afraid it would look like that to other people. So If they eat oatmeal at breakfast tbey

THE WRONG FLEA.

A performance of educated fleas is at the present time attracting much attention in Berlin. At a recent exhibition one of tbo most accomplished of the insects, obeying a sudden impulse of its nature, sprung from the table and took refuge on the person of an illustrious lady. The exhibitor was in despair, as the truant was his liest performer, and said ho would be ruined unless It could be recovered. The lady good naturedly retired to an adjourning room, and, after a few minutes' abseiice, returned with the flea between her thumb and forefinger. The exhibitor took it eagerly, gave one look at It, and theu, with visible embarrassment, said, "Your Highness will pardon me, but this is not the right flea."
