Thia broken spirited old man in threadbare habiliment waa the pa triot hero of her dreams, who was to return in triumph and take her away to some irrand chateau of Imutiful France: and what waa he saying? "urauam. now can 1 ever thank you God know I can never hop to repay you-ior what you hsv don for my child I All that I can promise is that she shall no longer be a tax on your generosity.

May heaven bless and reward you for your generosity and patience wiui one so seiiun and thoughtless as I have been." In vain were Col. Graham's en treaties. Toinetta and her father re solutely refused to be his guests but a few days longer: they refused hi proffered aid; and she. though with an aching heart, now that she knew the value of what she was away from her, again refused to be (Jot Graham wife. It was only pity that prompted him, she told herself. In New York she took un the bur den of existence for the first time. Bhe seldom saw Col. Graham, thouirh he often spent the eveiiinjrs with her father. Hue bid herself in her own poor little room. Bhe was careful never io pass ner old home, or go where she would be likelv to meet her old associates. Two or three found her out and came to her with words of love and approbation, but the major ity, like Mrs. Etynge, barely recog nized her if brought face to face, and ignored her when possible. She cared less than she thought she would; she even confessed to herself that she would be happy with her simple ef forts at housekeepinsr. her few muaie pupils and painstaking copies of tier father's translations, if her heart had not ached with the knowledge that it nad awakened to love too late, and after she had put away what might uuvo oeen lis treasure. One day her sorrows seemed almost too heavy to bear. She was waiting in a certain patrician music room for her pupil when an older member of the family and a friend entered and continued their conversation without deigning to notice her. "Have you heard that Mrs. Etynge is jroinff to marry that handsome OA. uraham?' asked one of them, No. I knew that she bad been angling for him ever since she was widowed, but I thought he would have more sense than to take her. I've neard that they were engaged once, but she threw him over for old Etynge.

When Toinette went to call him he was sitting as ah had left him, with a smile ou hi face such as she had never teen him wear. It waa hard to believe that hi spirit had gun on that journey of which he spoke. The realisation did not com to her till, after the funeral, she went back to tlieawfuldesolation of tha little home.

Until the vear 15(14. when thorawa discovered In the county of Cumber anu, in uie northwestern part or Kng land, a mine of the best and pmi-Mi graphite, th lead pencil was un known to the world. This mine at Borrowdale St one became vorv ccla- b rated, and of course verv vafuahla. Pencils made of Cumberland graphite were sold all over Europe, and wore nigniy prised everywhere. Th man ufacture of lead pencil became a very important business, and the JJriliaU government, in order to protect the new Industry, passed laws prohibiting the export or graphite to foreign lands. Only a certain quantity, enough to supply th requirement of the pencil makers, was doled out on the first Monday of every month, and a mili tary force had to be kept at the mines to protect thorn from band of marau dors. For nearly 800 years England sup- Slied the world with lead Pencils, and len th great Cumberland mine, which had added so much to the coffors of Great Britain, became exhausted. Th metallic part of this little imple ment is universally callod black load, but there is not a particle of loml in it This black and glossy substance is properly called plumbago, of which there ar several varieties, and is a compound of carbon and Iron. One of these varieties is fine grained, soft nearly iree irom grit and well adapted for writinir purposes, and thia hua m ceived the name of graphite. When the mine at Borrowdale cave out it became advisible to discover tome way of making th impure graphite availuble for the need of the world. After many experiment had j been tried the imrcnuitv of a French. man solved the problem, and wo havo pencil now of a better aualitv than ever were mude of the beBt Cumber land graphite by the old method. 1 understand that the present modo of treatimr the plumbacro. after it is now. dered and purified, is to mix with it. in certain Proportions, powdered clnv and then the mass is moistened, dried. pressed and baked, the treatment vary Inir according to the different m-ndm of pencils required, New York World.
