THE BACHELOR.

The Albany runs, or rather saunters, from Vigo street to Piocadilly. It la a •quiet space, and the glass roofed avenue .gives it anadded air of seolnsion. Bachelors live In the Albany and are.tended by discreet, plain faced housekeepers, to -whom they commonly leave in their wills £60 and several old silk hats. At night the shade of Macaulay hovers at the Bofiley Head end of the Albany and says ^strenuous words on finding that his old rooms are occupied now by a publisher— words which fortunately the discreet, plain faced housekeepers eannot overbear, "I think," said Mr. Robert Mepsted to himself, with one foot pressed hard against the mantelpiece at No. 6 M, '".that

•hould like to see her just onoe again. Only once, mind!' There are one or ctwo things I should like to say casually toiher, lust to show that I am quite ooatenieti as lam."

The youngest tenant in the Albany ««ighed. Now, it is not usual for men who brag of being contented to sigh. "There's a popular impression,M,went -on Mr. Robert Mepsted argumentatively, "that a bachelor must be lonely. It is a snost mistaken impression. Ht is high time that the world recognised what a blunder this is. There is do naore preposterous"—

Mr. Robert Mepsted, turning round in bis easy chair to argue with an imaginary opponent, stopped. In the doorway was Mrs. Long, his housekeeper, with a card on a brass waiter—a squarish card, whioh Mrs. Long presented with an air of some xeluctanoe. "Lady Westenbanger and Miss'Westenhanger," read Mepsted. He turned away, that Mrs. Long, whom be leared, should not see his face redden. "Are they—er—waiting, Mrs. Long?" "I have shown the ladies, sir," said Mrs. Long, trembling with the knowledge of having done the right thing, ''into the Bitting room. Shall I tell them you are Hot at homo, sir?" "I will come in there." "Hoi" said Mrs. Long disappointedly.

Mepsted stood for a moment at the door of the room. Ho wanted, above

all tb ihgs,

to regain his self oomposure. He desired also to romomber thefow satirical remarks that ho had proposed for this emergency. The sound of her voice within, arguing gently with her shrill voioed mother, sent the saroasms—and they were uuoommonly good sarcasms—•effecfcunlly out of his head.

My dear Mr. Mopsted, I am so glad wo found you in I Mary and I wero in town, and wo woro making calls, and Mary suggested"— "Wo bad not seen you for some time," Interrupted Mary Westenbanger hurriedly. "It's too good of you both to call," 6aid Robort Mopsted. Can I give you tea or something? I am rather -awkward at playing host nt present, but I shall got usod to tho game with practice. Some bacholors I know manage very well." "I want," said Lady Westenbanger, "to oall in at Bond street and see a jeweler man. So that I don't think we'll trouble you, Mr. Mepsted." "Do you want to go to Bond street, .Miss Westenhanger?" "Not in tho least, Mr. Mepsted? I don't illke jewolry." "That's a most outrageous remark to imako," said Lady Westenhanger, •with severity. "I consider it almost impious. JDvory woman should"—"Then how would it be," suggested Mr. Mopsted gonially, "for you, Lady Westonhatigor, to drivo round to Bond street, for you, Miss Westenhanger, to remain hero, •nd for my hoasokeeper to give us toa? I'vo been writing all the afternoon, and I want a cup."

This was where Mary Westenhanger «howed strategy worthy of afield marshal. "J think I had bettor go with mamma,''

Jp.said mildly. 'And I think," said Lady Westenhang•with severity, "that you will do noththo sort. You will rumaln here, r}% tuutil.l return. Mr. Mepsted is cot -ano who is a now friend of the family." "'Lady Westenhanger," said Rohert •jMepstod, "you aro always right." He pressed the, oleotrio knob and gave to Mm.

Long directions. "Let me see you to your carriage. Miss Westenhanger, can you find an illustrated paper to look at until I return?" "1 don't think I care for art," she said quietly, "Just oow."

Mr. Robort Mepsted returned very quickly. Mary vWeetenhanger was looking, with her hands clasped behind her, at a portrait of hid .mother, and wheat she turned there were «tonra in her eyes. "Tea already hore?" he exclaimed hreeslly. What a capital manager Mrs. Long 1st Will you pour out, Miss Westenhanger?" "I still possess a Christian name," she remarked as she obeyed. "You haven't discarded everything, then?"

Mr. Robert Mepsted made a mental note of the score. .Sawasm No, 1. "I wanted particularly to see you," she said. She lifted her oup, but her hand trembled, and she roplaoed it on the table, whore it was safe. "I'mafraid that I was very stupid and unreasonable when we met last." "I don't like to contradict you," he said. "And I—well, I want to apologise, Robert. In a general way I can bear my mother pretty well, but on that day had been more than usually trying." "I don't think we need say any more about it, Mary-" "Do you really mean that?" she asked )uickly. "I mean that we need not trouble to

rake up old grievances. It is a species of gardening that I don't care for. All that we need do now is to seo that we remain good friends for the futuro." "And—and nothing nioro than friends?" •""What more could we be?" "Well," said Mary Westenhanger, crumbling the cake unnecessarily and making of it a carefully built pyramid, "you said onoe—you would be my husband." "And you said once that I should not." "Only onoe," she remarked nervously. "The number is small, but sufficient." Bobert Mepsted felt quite a glow of admiration at bis unbending sternness. He Was behaving with much more oourage than he had ever credited himself with. "The fact of it is, Mary, life in the Albany, with pleasant rooms and plenty of work, is rather enjoyable. One has no oares, no trammels, and"— "And no oompanion." "That fact," said Robert Mepsted, with an effort, "is the oomble de joie."

She rose from the table and walked again to the portrait. "She was thekindest friend lover had," said Mary Westenhanger. "How good this is of her 1" "My mother," said Robert Mepsted, rising and standing beside her, "was always good. She was the only pewon that knew of our engagement." "lam glad that nobody else Shew. We have been saved the congratulations of our friends. And I want to :ask you something, Robert. There is a\o necessity for anybodyever to know, is there?" "No necessity at all, 'dear. I would rather keep it as a pleasant secret, to remember all my life. They were the brightest of days, those,and I shall never, never forget them." "it is worth coming here," she said impulsively, "to hear.you say so. I should not have called if Iihad not believed that. And I thought that perhaps there might bemore such days'in the future." "The stock is exhausted," said Mr. Mepsted decidedly. •She took very slowly a ring from her finger. It was a little reluctant to move, being a ring fhat studied appearance and liked an effective background. "I did not send this back," said Mary

Westenhanger,'"because I did not like to give it up, tout* I believe that it is usual in these situation^ to do so." "I have had little experience," he said, "but if that-Is the rule let us make an exception. I'would rather you kept it. It will be something to remind you of me when—when we are older.

Mrs. Long, looking in to see if anything was wanted," noted with some disturbance that the two young people were standing lather closely together. Mrs. Long coughed the cough of warning and withdrew, With an apology. "WilU Lady Westenhanger De much longer?" said Mepsted anxiously. He felt that his reserve of sternness was giving out, and to listen'to her quiet voice and to^watch her eyes for many moments longer would be fatal. "Mamma usually has a good deal to «ay to shopkeepers, but she will be back directly." "And then we shall say good by again, I suppose?" "Somehow, in spite of all this, I'm not sorry that I've, oalled," she said thoughtfully. fjP' "It has been a great delight to me.™ "I blamed myself for quarreling with you before, Robert, but now that—now that this afternoon has happened, why, nobody can blame me." "That's true. However long I live I must always feel that my bachelorhood is due to myself, and to no one else."

She lookod round swiftly "Are you going to be a oaohelor all your life, Robert?" "Why, yes, of course. I don't want to marry anybody else—I mean to say, I'm comfortable enough as I am. And I dare say when we're 20 years older we shall meet somewhere, and we shall deoide that it's all been for the best. I, as a bachelor, you, as an old maid, will"— "I beg your pardon." "I«ay that you, as an old maid, will"— "Lam afraid that you are peering into 'the future, Robert, without your glasses. I shall marry."

The newspaper fell from his hand. "But—but you said that you did not oare for any one else?" "I don't see how that affeots the matter. I iiave a proposal In my pooket now." "Show:it to me." "If you say 'please,' said Mary Westenhangor. And when Robert obeyed, she took from, her Tiodice a letter. "But this man is one of the most fearful bounders in town?" orled Robert Mepsted distractedly. You, of course, said no at once, dear?" "I thought it better to wait, Robert. It Is not wkie.to be impetuous in these matters." "But surely, Mary, you would never dream"—

He stopped,1becausehisindignation half ohoked htm. "I do, soxnotime&. I dreamed onoe that you and I werogoing to be very happy together, but as that is not likely to occur, why, an alternative course has to be adopted."

He took her hand suddenly. "Mary, you mustn't do this. I said I wfcs happy, but that was all brag. I'm miserable without you, and I'm punishing myself more than l.oan bear. Let us see what we can do.4' "Hadn't we bstteriput our heads together?" suggested Miss Westenhanger shyly.

Mrs. Long explained the whole affair the following morning to a lady friend who managed the zooms of Colonel Dunkerley at No. 7 M. "I could see it all, Mrs. What-is-lt, with 'alf an eye," said Mrs. Long discontentedly. "Ther'B him wltii the 'ump, as you may say, an a way of looking at, his coffee before he drank it as though he was, in a manner of speaking, lost to thought there's her, a tall, good looking, cheerful girl, with tears in her eyes before she'd been there five minutes, and there's her tnother a-trotting off to Bond -street to 'aggie with a shopkeeper, and when my lady oame back and oaught them kissing one another and bad her tantrums, why, as I said to myself, 'What on earth oould you expect?'

The lady nt No. 7 Baid philosophically, na she frightened a kitten away with her brush, that human nature was much the same, no matter what "spere" of life you oome across it. "That's all very well," said Mrs. Long aggrievedly, "but how about met As likely as not I shall 'ave some cantankerous old military gent to look after now. What I think is, people ought to 'ave more consideration, one for the other."—W. Pett Ridge in New Budget.

©en. Charles E. Buzzeil, of Lakeport, If. H., Department Commander of New 'Hampshire G. A. R., has something of interest to say to the poople in regard to •the remarkable curative powers of Dr. •Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Few men are more widely known than Gen. Buzzeil, who is Street'Commissioner of Lakeport, and the most prominent builder and contractor in the 'State. The General says:— "I was terribly run down in health and as a result of over-work, beoame nervous, weak, tired and without my old-time energy and ambition. I grew so fearfully nervous that I could not rest nor sleep nights, but would be obliged to get up and walk about several times each night. I would get tired and nervous so easily And quickly that it became almost impossible for me to attend to •my business. At the same time I bad most severe and distressing headache. "I took Dr. Greene's Nervura 'blood and nerve remedy and it helped me right away. My nerves were so strengthened and invigorated that the nervousness •left me, and I could again sleep soundly nights, and wake mornings refreshed and feeling strong and vigorous. The backaobe is completely cured. I am now perfectly well arid better able than ever to atteild to my business. I have recommended this wonderful remedy to several others and it has cured them all/

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.

43enc**l Harrison Explains How It Waa Made by the People. Ex-President Harrison's paper in The Ladies' Home Journal of "This Country of'Ours" series treats comprehensively -of the constitution and its application .and operation, defining the instrument, its scope and limitations clearly. "The word 'constitution,' he writes, "as used among ns implies a written (instrument, but in England it is used tto. describe a governmental system or organization made up of charters —as the Magna Charta—the general aota of parliament and a body of long established legal usages or customs. These axe not compiled in any single instalment as with ns, but are to .be •ought in many places. •, "The common American usage in making a state .constitution is to elect by

popular vote delegates,to a convention, whose duty it is to prepare plan of government. When the delegates have agreed and have properly oertifled the instrument, it 4b submitted to a direct vote of the people, and each voter casts a ballot 'For the constitution' or Against the constitution.' if axnajarilgr yot* for the oaofititution, it then becomes the paramount law of the state. The legislature.does, jnot make the constitution the constitution makes the legislature^ The American idea is that constitutions prooeed from the people in the exercise of their natural right of self government and can only be amended cor superseded by the people. Whatever one legislature or congress enacts the next one may repeal, but neither can repeal or infringe a constitutional provision. "The delegates to the convention that framed the constitution of the United States wore not, however, chosen by a popular vote in the states, but by the legislaturea Nor was the question of the adoption of the constitution submitted in the states to a direct popular vote. There have been 15 amendments to the constitution adopted. Ten of these were proposed tothe legiala-

I urge people to^use it because I know It will make them well." Gen. Buzzell's case was like thousands of others. •People from overwork, strain upon brain and nerve or other cause, break down in health, feel that they are physically weak and that *their nerve strength, energy and power are greatly diminished. Just so sure as night follows day will prostration and debility, the wreck of nerves, brain and body, follow If a cure Is not immediately sought.

Negleot is the fatal thing. Never allow the^first symptoms—the tired feeling, the weakened nerves, the loss of power of enduranoe, the lack of snap and energy— to drift you into total loss of health. Take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy now, and it will cure you as it cured Gen. Buzzeil, as it has cured thousands upon thousands of others. It is the great curdr of disease, the great -strengtbener of nerves, the great builder up of blood, the great invigorator of Drain and body. It will make you well.

Do not class this most valuable remedy with patent medioines. It is a physician's prescription, and its discoverer, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York City, has the largest and most successful practice in the world in nervous and ohronic diseases, andean be consulted free of charge, personally or by letter.

MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.

T.fafaning

on the Ioe Floe to the Boar the Coming Storm.'

-When the swell is heavy in the ice pack, it is often very difficult to ascertain from whioh direotion it comes, and just as difficult as it is, just so important may it be that it should be found out rightly, as the safety of the ship might wholly depend upon correct judgment as to this. When the huge ice masses begin to move and screw and press on the sides of the vessel, rising and falling in a heavy swell, then there is only one oscape—namely, to work the vessel into the fields away from the side from whioh the gale blows. A mistake as to the direction of the running swell has often jproved fatal, and the mistake is easily made.

An old arctic sealer told me how in hours of dread in the arctio icepack he had laid his ear down to the ice floe and listened to the roar of the coming swell —that terrible message from the furious gale—and how he thus had discovered whence the gale w4s pressing and had been able to sdve the ship from destruction. I tried his method and fotuid that it worked admirably. What is well worth noticing is that open water nearly always is to be found in the ice pack on one side of icebergs. The icebergs that we met were generally in motion, car ried onward by the ruling current. Of ten they ran forward in the icefields at a speed of several knots, piling up the huge floes before their cold, glittering bows, but behind them they left an open sheet of water large enough for any ship.

Now, there would of course be many dangers for a vessel tugged along in the ice pack by such a floating monster, but I believe nevertheless that this method might be instrumental in saving a ves sel from being crashed when the icefield is moving heavily.—G. E. Borchgrevink in Century.

How Treasure Is Transported In China. We have heard much of the diverting of public treasure to private gain by Chinese officials of all ranks, and the evidence of it in the failure of the Chinese army and navy to be ready for the inevitable struggle with Japan is too reoent and convincing to be disputed, but on the other band we can only wonder at the power of this law of responsibility which, in such a land, enables the remotest province to transport its dues to Peking in solid silver, by the simplest means, without loss by the way and without the protection of a single soldier. Nothing impresses one more With the absoluteness of this power as applied to transportation than to meet a line of pack mules, horses, or camels, loaded with silver bullion. The-silver is usually confined in rough logs of wood that have been split, hollowed out, and then bound together, and each load is marked with a little flag of imperial yellow, stating the amount and destination. That is all the protection there is except the ordinary drivers, who oarry no weapons, and are attended by no guard. In what other land on the face of the globe oould the same be done?— Professor C. Mr Cady in Century.
