•very happy. But It was now three long years since poor ilecUy had been resting in her quiet grave, and the doctor's friends had decided that hp needed some one to keep house for him.
After much persuading he had been particularly introduced to Miss Delia :Swan. "What a tiamel" thought the doctor, but as he looked ut her he saw that she was fair, gentle, healthy and twenty-six. In a moment of enthufaiastic selfishness he had proposed to Iher, and in a moment of enthusiastic idevolion she had accepted him.
They were married Kverybody said
tfty, "Oh, how much nicer she wtia than that i"pother woman!" She was very popular with everybody, but she was not at all popular with the doctor.
To him "that other woman*' was still all the world and the brightness thereof. Delia had married "from a sense o( duty," and deserved to be punished but it seemed to her that her punishment was greater than she deserved. She •would not have wished that her hu»-

also nave been touched by these benign influences, for never before had be been so kind, so attentive to her, so talkative- She-smiled several times: twice she absolutely laughed. She sat a little nearer to him, her cheeks bloomed, and she was beginning to feel quite comfortable, when, as luck would have it, they happened to ride past a very small cottage, so veiy small that Delia said: "Oh. look! wonder how people can live in such a tiny bit of a house.**
The doctor's brow grew dark. "In such a house as this," he said, in his most impressive manner, "in just such a house as this my wife and 1 lived in the greatest happiness when we were first married."
Had Delia been suddenly shifted from India's coral strand to Greenland's icy mountains the shock could hardly have been greater. "His wife!'* she thought "then, if she is his wife, what am I?" All that evening she sat silently sewing and answering the doctor's remarks with a primness of dignity that surprised him.
Delia did not sleep much that night 1 must leave* him," she decided, at last. "I will not live with him unless I am really his wife. I can not."
Leave him but how? Where could she go? A few hours afterward that question was answered. She received

a letter postmarked "Denver, Col." It came from "dear Cousin Mamie," and as she-read her letter Delia's face brightened. "It is just what I wanted," she said to herself.
One evening when the doctor came home Bridget met him at the door and said: "Missus has gone, sir. She had to go a kind of sudden, but she said she would write and tell you." "All right," answered the doctor. "Gone to her mother's," he explained to himself. "I suppose there is some sort of a fandango going on there."
He made himself very-comfortable. But what the doctor really liked -was to be hindered. He enjoyed watching the mild shadow of disapproval stealing over Delia's face. If she had frankly and briskly expressed her opinion, then taken it back prettily, be might have fallen in love with her but Delia always relapsed into meekness, and all was lost. As the days passed the doctor began to miss his housekeeper. "Why does she not write? Cold-blooded creaturel"
The cold-blooded creature wrote. Her letter was dated from Denver. It said "DEAR SIR*. I thought you would be happier without mts| So I came here. 1 am visiting Cousin Mamie With best wisheaior your happiness, I remain, sincerely, "Delia Brinscjby.*' "A pretty letter—and 'dear sir' to mel Gone to Denver! Who could have supposed she had spirit enough for that? Little goosel Gone to Denver, by ovel"
The doctor laughed he blessed himself he was delighted. The next evening ho \yas on his way to Colorado.
One morning there came a tremendous ring at the door. Delia knew that ring she heard it all over her, and turned pale. "Bound to get In," said Mamie, as she hurried to the door. "Is Mrs. Brinslcy in?? asked a big voice.
Mrs. Brinsley was in- She came forward smiling, rosy-cheeked, collected, transformed. She'fieJd out her hand she was glad to see the doctor^ she presented him toXJouain Mamie." They sat down. "Where are sott:stopping?" asked Delia. "At the Windsor."
And she became as deeply interested in the Windsor as If the doctor had come expressly for the purpose of ending his days there. But Dr. Brinsley was not altogether defenseless. "I came to ask you if yotTwould take a ride with me. The carriage is at the door. Come just as you are." "Oh!" said Delia and she went.
The mountains were "perfectly magnificent," aa Delia remarked, but the doctor made quick work of them. "How soon will yon be ready.to come hothe?" he asked, quietly.

WELL WOK.
Dr. Livingston and Harry Everton were both rivals for Mrs. Linden's hand, and to an outsider their chanoes of winning seemed about equal. Her little daughter Edith settled the difficult choice in this unique way: ••Mamma," she said one day, "vhat is a nuaansP" •«A nuisance, darling?" ••Yes. Mr. Everton said I was a little nusans yesterday. What does it mean!" ••It means that you are a troublesome little girl, Pm afraid," laughed Mrs. Linden, turning her eyes away considerately from Everton's crimsoned face. ••I ain't one bit twoublesome!" exclaimed Edith, indignantly. Be I, doctor?" "Not to me," said Dr. Livingstone, gathering her up closely to his breast.
Now, no mother, however sensible, likes to have her child called a nuisance and Mrs. Lind" treated Everton a little coolly for some days after this unlucky speech. But there was something so seductive in the charm of his words and manner that the old spell returned, until there vvei'e times that she alnn si belieyed she loved him. But Mrs. Linden inbtinctively loved the good .and the true, and there was something in Dr. Livingstone's simple honesty and sterling goodness, if he hid the courage to urge his suit, that would have turned tho seales in his favor. As it was, they hung very evenly, Mrs. Linden being puzzled to decid'6"~vvhich of iherr she liked best.
It was while in doubtful, unsettled state of mind that both suitors broaohed the subjedt that was so near to their hearts Everton, with a boldness and confidence that have won many, worpan from less assured but more worthy men Livingstone with a trembling eagerness which showed how highly he estimated, how much he feared to lose the prize for which he was striving. To.both she had only one* answerthat she would decide and let them know before her departure, which was near at hand. "Mamma, do you love Dr. Livingstone?-'
Now as this was a question that she was just asking her own heart, Mrs. Linden was not a little startled at her words. «'What makes you ask that, Edith ••Weil, but do you?*' persisted the child. ••He asked me' last night if wouldn't teach you to love him. I said you didn't need to be teachecL W^as that right?" '"You shouldn't say such things to Dr. Livingstone,said Miij. Linden, her face aif aglow with blushes. •Why?"
This being a question hot very easy to ans n% it remained unanswered. ••But do you love Dr. -Living* stone, mamma?" repeated Edith, renewing the attack^ with fresh eeal and energy^! "I think—I do,'"1'responded Mrs. Linden, slowly, replying more to the question in her own heart than to thai upon the sweet lips lilted so eagerly to hers. J.
At this opportuho molBitit the doctor entered. Breaking away from ^hor mother, Edith ran to meet himlS^T^ "Mamma does love ^yout She jusl told me so!"
Holding Epith's hand in his. Dr. Livingstone stood before her mother/ his face Gushed with hope and ,0v •«.vate!—Mrs. Linden!—dpe*t n'n dear child speak trulyf*
The new and sweet revelation that had come to that~qucstioning heart was very clearly mirrored in the eyet that were lifted to his, making tht words that followed scarcely needed. '•She speaks truly!" ^Ith a sudden movement, Dr. l*ivingstone clasped both mother and child ^o the breast that waft to be their protection and shelter trough nil the yearn that followed,
Edith announced this unwelcome fact to Mfr. Everton the hext morning, and io a manner so unique and original that we cannot forbear transcribing it. "-A: "You csn't be my papa!

What the
Old Man Says
MY EXAMINATION OF
THB AMERICANIZED
Has been entirely satisfactoiyT The following are some of the points noted in my examination:-
IN BIOGRAPHYrMiS^f^..-
I find the "Americanized Encyclopedia Briiannica" treats of the life of every man that has helped to mould the history of his times—or has controlled the events and destinies of his people or of the world—whether that life be in ancient, medieval, modern or present time. Four thousand separate biographies are included under this one feature—a feature embraced in no other encyclopaedia now in print. jg Jp
I find the history of every nation that has flourished, fulljr outlined—-the physical geography, the geology, climate, productions—animal or plants, etc., etc., as well as the govermental, religious social and commercial status of each period of its history—whether of Babylon, Egypt, India, Europe or America whether in an era of the world 4,000 years past, or in the year of our Lord, 1891. *,
IN THE ARTS and SCIENCES:
sg I find that its leading and greatest "articles have been penned only by tho tiands of our greatest masters in Europe and America. No little men have figured in these great chapters on science—none butjthe greatest in research, in experiment and analysis. Their close analysis, their brilliant experiments and their triumphant demonstrations alone rest under the grand conclusions of soience in general, as published in these volumes. il-i iK
I find the literature of the highest thought-Wherever the name is mentioned. The history of no country is mentioned unconnected from its literature—if it had a literature. English, American, French, German—are given as follj js any ether jifik ha a is at re in is to of a 1 7
tributions of some of the greatest of our scholars. The bible of, every great religion—its composition and the history of its origin—whether in India or Earope, in Palestinejor China—has had the concentrated light of scores of the bpet living intellects thrown upon it, in the articles on the bible in this Encyclopaedia.*

I have fonnd the deepest research, the profoondest linvestigation linked with the most lurid statement, as if truth alone were the objective and only point aimed at by the writers of this great and latest publication o!j Encyclopwdie knowledge. ...
