"What can we do. Mark? Your father has quarreled with Kitty's father, and non-intercourse is the rule of the two houses."

The two houses were planned almost exactly alike, and there was never a stick or tone of wall or fence between. Their flower beds ran into ours, and our peas and lettuce hobnobbed with theirs, and that house was just as much of a home to me as ours was, and Kitty and Tom were like my own brother and sister, and now it is all so sadly changed. Dad and Uncle Ben quarreled about some confounded thing or another protec tion and free trade and a town office, 1 believe it was that began the shindy and things went from bad to worse, until Uncle Ben built that great brick wall between the gardens topped with iron spikes, and spoiled both places.

Mark went out bareheaded into the garden and strolled around the paths in his slippers. He crammed his little black student's pipe full of tobacco, and began puffing away meditatively as he cast his weather eye np at Kitty' win dow on the garden side. With a great head and mighty shock of curling au burn hair. Mark had a good deal of in ventive genius stowed away in the cham bers of his capacious brain. Ha had given himself to the study of electricity with ardor, and had devised one or two little improvements that had brought bim patent rights and wine fame among the fraternity of electrician. But what was the use of being an inventor, with the thunderbolts of Jove in his posses sion, if be was walled In the dungeon of some genii's old Castle Dolorous, with Kitty in the extinguisher tower, and he unable to communicate with her by word or look, by telephone or phono graph, or any other mean under heaven? He thought of setting himself np with a harp, like the minstrel under the win dows of Richard Cctur de Lion, but it would necessarily have been a juwsharp. the only instrument he knew how to play Kitty, he thought, was certainly a girl destitute of originality, spirit or bold ness, else she would have helped a little toward making it easy tu get wf com munication At leii-t she illicit open ber window just ip;i.Mtt to hii own j Why should sbe be so iitule-w mid un feeling as to deny him even a passing glimpse of her dear' face? But he did center of this confederation of loves. As he stood looking vaguely up at Kitty's window above the spike of the brick wall it occurred to bim that it would be an easy thing to rig np a telephone be tween the two houses. He, who was so expert in telegraphy and allied sciences, could do it in a few hours, but what would be the good if Kitty refused to speak to him along the wire? Mark had never studied these things as related to the art of love making. He had never heard that thoy hail been of the least use in melting the hearts of obdurate fathers or winning over lovely girls to disobey their parents. Now, as Mark strolled disconsolately abont the garden, kicking an occasional pebble out of the path or stooping to pluck a ripe strawberry, he spied a lad der near the hothouse. It waa only the work of a moment to place it against the wall in a secluded spot under a low branching apple tree, which gave him the opportunity to spy upon the Chil ders' domain without being seen. Mark stealthily mounted the ladder and peeped over into the other garden. Grip, the trreat mastiff, lay Inst below, with his paws extended out of the straw of his butch, and his great, moist, black muz zle res'ting upon them, Ma inflamed eye, however, active, and the tip of his tail lashing reflectively the ground, while he snapped now and then at an unwary fly. Tom Childers was in the stable giving orders to the coachman In a loud, dicta torial tone. Tom was thick set and ath letic, with the elements of a young bra.ro in him, combined with consider able swagger and brag, and it was gen erally conceded that Tom wonld know considerably less when he knew a little more. Tom and Mark had grown np as boys together, and Murk, much against bis will, for he was naturally peaceable and easy going, had been forced to pnn Ish the truculent Tom on more than one acters. The idiotl thought Mark. Will she not have wit enough to take the scrap of pa per to her young mistress? No; after skipping up the ladder agaiu, and peep ing over to we if she could diacovur a solutiou of the problem, she walked slowly away toward the little alley by the side of the stable, where Master Tom was pepiriug a bonrd with pistol balls. Mark knew he had bungled aw fully when he heard Tom Childers say tn a loud voice: "By Jovel thu is a fresh Insult. They'll be sending White Cup uutices next, with cofllns and deaths' heads. The governor shall hear of it." Mark had occasion to reflect on the perlidy of the female nature. The girl had said not a word about the quarter of a dollar snugly reptsjing In ber apron pocket. Us ought to have written open ly to Kitty, and then corrupted the maid of the tip tilted nose with a largo brilie. Mark was naturally very despondent after the miscarriage of his tittle Inven tion. Now that the scrap of puper dropped over the wall had fallen into Tom Childer' clutches, there was little hope that It would ever come into Kitty's hands. As he smoked his pipe and prowled disconsolately alxmt in the shady parts of the garden where he could watch Kitty's windows unobserved, the wildest projects came into his bead, mixed np with fire alarms, burglars and cy clones, in all of which he played the part of Kitty's heroio deliverer, If Kitty were willing to lie earried off, how easily he could effect an elopement! lie planned it all out even to the wringing of drip's neck; but when a young lady declines to be carried off what is her un fortunate lover to do?

Ilefum these ureal national roads, assisted by the government, hafl been completed tho railway came Into being, and the attention of men was di rected hi making these new iron high ways.
