Ho was twenty-three, homely, awkward, uneducated, uncultivated, slow of thought and speech, just escaped from the

Ho glancwi at her but for a moment, then turned and walked on without looking back. But years after that brief glance was recalled

lay him as frosh and vivid as if it were but yesterday, and time, which made him fbrget the names and even the faces of most of his old schoolniatos, only seemed to burn deeper in his memory that picture of the fair girl as sho stood that day on the stone steps amid hor companions, with the fresh morning sunshine flowing around her, and her ringlets blowing in the soft June breeww.

In the field of oratory, for his words came slowly, hesitatingly, inelegantly. He did not possess the sharp, quick* elastic mind that fits an attorney for the position of crow-examiner. Bat his knowledge of law was almost encyclopedic, and constant poring over his books and forms made his law papers so sound, so logical, so correct in every detail, that when a mass of authorities were to be collected, when an intricate paper was to be prepared, when an argument, backed by its proofs, was to be presented in plain forcible condensed language, the eloqaent "jury lawyer," the dashing cross-examiner, stood willingly back, and the slow, earnest student passed in ahead of them. So wealth and fame came to him, not by a sudden flow, but little by little as his mi'd grew and his powers expanded.

But with all the passing years and changing fortunes of his busy life, one picture hung undimmed in memory's gallery, one dream floated ever, sleeping or waking, before his mental vision. He thought of Catharine Ashton every day. He dreamed of the time to come when she should be his. He thought of the changes the passing time would also make in her. He valued his growing wealth and rising reputation only that they brought him nearer to the realization of his ideal. He had never seen her since the day he left college. He heard of her often, unchanged, living in the old college town. It seemed to him he knew her better than they who told him of her, so constantly had she been with him in his thoughts. Sometimes a pang of jealous fear shot through him as he thought of the inevitable rival that ever manaoes a lover's peace of mind. Yet even this troubled him but little. He had so often thought of her as won that it seemed impossible that she could ever be another's.

She was fond of society. She loved social power. So, as soon as he had time fot a breathing spell in bis struggle for fame and riches, he began to go out out in society, and though a person of his disposition could never be much of a favorite there, his

David saw that the crisis had come. All night before tho day that the case was to 1)0 argued tho lamp burned on the lawyer's table, and ho rose from his papers only as the gray morning light softly crept iu at tho windows of his office.

David Lano went Into the Inner room of the court that day as the last resource of men whoso property and influence were about to bo overwhelmed by a mass of subtle, legal technicalities. He, came out in the oyos of thoso men a hero of heroes. Tears came to their eyes as they clasped his hands. Their voices wero husky with emotion as they thanked him. Invitations to visit the town poured In upon him, and, knowing that the time for him to strike while tho iron was hot had come, he accepted an invitation to bo present that evening at a social gathoring at Judge Ashton's house and boforo many hours the railway bore him swiftly back to tho town he had left ton years before, back with wealth and fame and power to claim his reward.

How would she meet him? He began for the first time to feel a little doubtful. She was single yet, he knew, and no wonder for, to tell the truth, men, attracted at first by her brilliant yet pleasing ways, soton grew tired of her lack of sympathy and afraid of her sarcastic wit.

Well It will ijot tako long to tell the story he was soon to know. News had reached the town before he arrived of the successful termination of the suit,, and the party that evening assumed before long the character of a reception to the distinguished guest. As he stood in the midst of a circle of old acquaintances, suddenly there was a little opening made among the guests and David Lane and Catharine Ashton met once more face to face.

A strange, confused feeling came upon him. "Catharine—Miss Ashton—good evening," he stammered with a great deal of his old awkwardness coming back to him. But Catharine's serenity was undisturbed. "Good evening—David," said she, giving him her hand.

Was this really Catharine Ashton? The same features, the same ways, the same style of conversation, and yet how different. He noticed for the first time that the bright

Slowly he beg&n to see through all the mists which had troubled his mind that night. He had loved and cherished and toiled all these years, not for Catharine Ashton, but a creation of his own fancy. It is true that to his boyish1 mind she was the ideal, but as his mind had grown and expanded and matured till it no more resembled the bright, shallow girl from which it sprang than the grave, learned lawyer was like the awkward farmer boy who sat here ten years ago.

The vision of his life was gone. He was not now one to mourn over the inevitable, but he felt as if he had just looked for the last time on some dear dead face. As he rose from the stone the light in the window faded out, and with it that which had illuminated ten years of toil and struggle over the dark places through which ambition must ever pass to win its ends. An old man walked the homeward path that night. Young in years, but old in the realization of the emptiness of earthly dreams.

The train that went to the city in the early morning bore him back to labor, which was welcome only that time might pass in its presence more quickly away. And as David sat thinking of the past and of the future, a twinge of sorrow shot through him as he realized that the golden fetters, which had bound him for so long, lay this morning shattered at his feet.

Mrs. Burkes Pudding.

[Mary N. Prescott in Harper's Bazar.] It had always been the custom in Mrs. Capulet's day to bake one of her best plum-puddings during Christmas week for the char-woman, Mrs. Burke, who was never likely to taste such a dainty at other seasons. "Why should we keep all the good things to ourselves," she used to ask, "eat plum-pudding whenever we fancy it, and this poor hard-working woman never know the taste of such a morsel?" It was also the custom of the house "to build,"

Harry Capulet used

to say, several of these rich puddings at the same time they would keep for weeks or months without spoiling, and there they were, at a moment's notice, if dinner company arrived unexpectedly on washing and ironing days, when it was inconvenient to concoct'nice desserts. When Mrs. Harry Capulet took the management of affairs after his mother's death, her husband's cousin who had been regent during the interregnum, said to her at Christmas-time: "I hope, dear, you will continue Mrs. Burke's pudding she has received it for so many years, she will feel injured, I'm afraid, 'less you do." "Oh, certainly," answered Mrs. Harry, who was of an economical turn of mind "I shall give Mrs. Burke a pudding, but not one of these. What are you thinking about—waste all these delicacies on a char-woman?" "Gingerbread pudding, with a' few raisins added, will satisfy her quite as well," put in Mrs. Harry*s sister. "What they call a poor-man's pudding?" asked Mrs. Harry. "Yes—the very thing." "But, my dear," expostulated Sue Capulet, "Mrs. Burke will know she has been accustomed to the best. I have made it a principle to send her as good as I kept I hated to scrimp her at Christmas-time." "Oh, you're too extravagant, Cousin Sue. Besides, you give an old ignorant char-woman credit for all your own virtues and tastes. 2 don't think it worth while to waste so much money upon her a poor-man's pudding is more appropriate for the circumstances." "Noblesse oblige." insisted Sue. But Mrs. Harry laughed, and ordered the poor-man's pudding to be baked the same size as ner own plum-puddings. "I can hardly tell them apart, cook has iven them all such a rich brown. Surethe proof of the pudding is in the baking as well as the eating."

But Sue sighed. "Mrs. Burke is English. You won't be able to deceive her about an English plum-pudding." "I'm not going to label it, and she can take it or leave it. Beggars shouldn't be choosers, I've heard," cried Mrs. Harry, who couldn't keep her temper as well as she could keep other things. "That was a pudding!" said Mrs. Burke, one morning after Christmas, having come in for some work. Mrs. Harry lookod at Sue. "I think," continued Mrs. Burke, "they grow nicer overy year, Mrs. Capulet. This one just melted in your mouth it was too good for poor folks." "There!" cried Mrs. Capulet, as soon as Mrs. Burke's back was turned, "what did I tell you, Sue? After educating Mrs. Burke up tb the English plum-pud-ding! This is all the good it does to educate the lower classes, you see." 'I hope it isn't blarney in Mrs. Burke," hazarded Sue. "A man convinced against his will,

Is of the same opinion still," quoted Mrs. Harry. After this, whenever Sue and Mrs. Harry disagreed, her sister would say, "Remember Mrs. Burke's pudding,Sue." However, the matter faded out of their minds in time, and perhaps they would never have thought of it again if Mr. Ous Blake hadn't happened to drop in upon them. Now Mr. Blake was somebody worth while in Miss Lily's eyes. She'had met him here and there, danced with him atgermans, yachted with him, picnicked with him, lunched with him, once he had even sent her some flowers she had some of them now, pressed in a book of love sonnets. He was one of those cordial people who shake hands as if they were making love. Miss Lily was more than fond of his society: she intended to marry him. But it was a pity that he should arrive on the only day in the week when they had apickedup dinner. "There is one of the Christmas puddings left, at any rate," said Mrs. Harry "that will redeem the dinner."

Mr. (Jus Blake was very affable as usual. He and Lily sang duets together before dinner she had also te show him over the grounds, the view of the river, the eagles nest they hunted for fourleaved clovers together, and she told his fortune with a daisy. He was complimentary and gallant. Lily felt as if a crisis was at hand. They met Sue, with her hands full of wild flowers, coming from school. "A neighbor?" he asked, with his most indifferent manner, as she just nodded and hurried by. "Oh no. Haat is Sue Capulet, Harry's cousin. She used to keep his house before he married." •'Indeed." "Yes. She's rather prim in her ways, and opinionated, like all country people." "Ah! she must be very disagreeable." "Ferpaps but one needs to live with her to nna it out." "And you live with her?" "Yes. She will live here I snppom till somebody marries her." "Then she has a lover?" "I never heard of one.*1

And yet she is not pereisely ugly," with a wicked twinkle in his eyes. "No. not at all only commonplace," conceded Lily.

The dinner progressed a« far as the desert. It was a picked-np one, to be sure but what could anyone expect who came without announcing himself, Mrs.

TBlUiK HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

Harry assured herself. Mr. Blake was a famous diner-out he knew, moreover, how to make himself agreeable over a dinner of herbs and then there was her English plum-pudding to top off with. How plump ana delicious it looked as it came upon the table, and what royal odors it emitted! She out it, with pride in her mien. She tastea it, and shot a quick glance at Mrs. Harry, but said nothing. The guest was quietly nibbling at it and talking brilliantly. Presently Lily, who had been listening to him, attacked it. She turned pale, and gave her plate a little angry push. Then Mrs. Harry, having helped everybody else, settled herself to the enjoyment of her pudding. Sue, regarding her, saw a look of consternation gather upon her faee. She uttered an exclamation as^if she had been wounded. "Sue," she said, angrily, "you carried the wrong pudding to Mrs. Burke. This is the poor-man's pudding," regardless of her guest. "I carried the pudding the oook gave me," returned Sue. "No wonder Mrs. Burke thought it too good for poor folk!" put in Lily, sourly.

They both glowered at Sue. They were obliged to repress their wrath before their guests, but they were too full of indignation to talk rationally or coherently. If Mr. Blake guessed that there was thunder in tho air, he was as facetious and anecdotal as usual, ignored the atmospheric changes, and did not hurry away. But when he was obliged to take his train at last, the thunder-bolt burst about Sue's head. "So you carried your point, after all my directions to the contrary," said Mrs. Harry "Mrs. Burke had her English plum-pudding iu spite of me." "I had nothing to do with it," returned Sue "it was as much a surprise to me as to you." "Pity Harry hadn't been here," said Miss Lily, ignoring Sue's version. "If his wife isn't to be mistress in his house, is time he knew it. A poor-man's pudding to set before Mr. Gus Blalce, one of the most fastidious of men!" "I'm very sorry," said Sue. "It wasn't a nice pudding." "Nor a nice thing for you to do in another's house." "Mrs. Capulet, I had nothing whatever to do with it," protested Sue. "Sus?in Capulet, I don't believe a word you say." "And if I were you sister, you or I should leave the house."

And so it happened that Sue packed her trunks, ana Harry Capulet had such aversion of Mrs. Burke's pudding that he did not dream of recalling her.

Sue went to a friend's house in the city, who had promised to find her a situation.

In the mean time Mrs. Capulet's servahts confided the story of the plumpudding to Mrs. Burke herself, ana Mr. Gus Blake's part in it. Mrs. Burke felt it her duty to write Mr. Blake and repeat the whole affair, and through him to help sweet Miss Sue, who would never hurt a fly, out of her trouble.

Mr. Blake smiled over this letter. So they had made it hot for Miss Sue! He had suspected as much. He went to call on his friend Mrs. Barnes and request her co-operation. He was shown into the music-room, and met Sue. "So,"'he said, shaking hands, "this is the result of Mrs. Burke's pudding. What a lucky pudding for me and Mrs. Burke!" And then Mrs. Barnes entered. "I came," he said, to consult you about the affairs of a friend of mine who has come to grief. Her case is even worse than that of the man in the South who burnt his mouth eating cold plum-por-ridge."

The upshot of the consultation was that Sue had a position, a little later, where Mr. Blake was intimate enough to drop in at his pleasure and carry the governess oft to the opera, or for a few hours' recreation in the Park behind his span and so it happened that one day Lily and Mrs. Capulet received the wed-ding-cards of Miss Susan Capulet and Mr. Gustavus Blake, which was all owing to Mrs. Burke's pudding.

A MEDICINE, NOT A DRINK.

High Authority.w

Hop Bitters is not, in any sense, an alcoholic beverage or liquor, and could not be sold, for use, except to persons desirous of obtaining medicinal Ditters.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 24, 1884. Dear Sir—Why aon't you got a certificate from Col. W. H. W., of Baltimore, showing how he cured himself of drunkeness by the help of Hop Bittors. His in a wonderful case. He is well known in Rochester, X. Y., by all the drinking people there. He is known in this city, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York in feet all over the country, as ho has spent thousands of dollars for rum. I honestly believe his card would be worth thousands of dollars to you in this city and Baltimore alone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your bitters., J. A. W.

"Eleven years our daughter sulfered on a bed of misery undor the care of several of the best physicians, who gave her disease various names but no relief, and now she is restored to us in gooa health by Hop Bitters, that we had poohed at two years before using it. We earnestly hope and pray that no one else will let their sick suffer as we did, on account of prejudice against so good a medicine as Hop Bitters."—The Parents —Good Templars. 1 i:-s*

Milton, Del., Feb. 10,1886.

Having used Hop Bitters, the noted remedy for debility, nervousness^ indigestion, etc., I have no hesitation in saying that it is indeed an excellent medicine and recommend it to any one as a trulv tonic bitters. Respectfully,

REV. Mns. ,T. H. ELLGOOD.

Scipio, N. Y., t)ei\ I, 1884.

I am the pastor of the Baptist church here and an educated physician. I am not in practice, but am my sole family physician, and advise in chronic cases. Over a year ago I recommended your Hop Bitters to my invalid wife, who has been under meaical treatment of Albany's best physicians several years. She has been greatly benefitted and still uses the medicine. I believe she will become thoroughly cured of her various complicated diseases by their use. We both recommend tiiem to our friends, many of whom have also been cured ot their various ailments by them.
