When the chimes struck the quarter-hour, he started aw from a dream, and-went, down stair out Into the night.

He would an in and tell her all. He found her alone, silting on a low chair among the pauies and heliotrope and early roses. They talked upon In different subject, more and more remote from the one nearest their hearts. At length Arthur said, -I heard yon were at the Hnliier last evening. Mis De Forest." "Ye. Mr. Raiiisfnrd t-rsoailed mam ma to go. I was eager to see the original of your picture. She is certainly very beautiful. It was the same person I saw you with yesterday morning, I think."

And I had no mean of knowing that you loved me. Only Augustine herself reveal ed it to me.' And then he read those portions of the .lancer's note that concern ed her.-elf. Amy pondere 1 long over tt. She did not, believe tlie dancer's words that she did imt care tor Arthur, that she was tired of ihe Quarlier. She had seen those lovely eye, flu with fight when they ' fell upon him i.i the dance-rhythm. And afterwards i-be heard, in some careless stn.iio talk, ihat "the Spanish girl had been mad about Duncan." It was strange to her to think that the white flower of sell-s uritice could bud and bloom ill the soul ot a paid dancer at u students ball. She forgave liiiu for she loved hi'ii, and ii -he had been a man herself die doubted if l-er lile wouid have been blameless. And the shadow ot the Spanish dancer passed out from their lives. A year passed.

Spring ban come igain. fbe Luxem bourg gardens are tilled a la-fore wiih gay crowds the streets of Paris were l-au tiful with flowers. Oua morning n man in an otHci il dros brought a folded piper to Arthur as he worked in Ills studio. O.i it was w ritten : "A Spanish woman. Very ill in the hospital, begs to see M. le pei'itte Duncan. VVill Monsieur have the complai sance to come to tlie Jsair sou" ? He wrote a note to his wile, telling her of I he circiiui-tance, and went across Pari with the messenger, stopping only a moment for a few white water-lides that a boy Jdiurst into bis. baud in tlie market. ? They showed him into a ward where a women lay ill of consumption in all its stages, and in a cot near the window, where the spring sunlight streamed over her. he found Augu-tiue. still lovely with the loveliness of approaching spirithood, but no longer the joyous goddess ot morn ing ; only a pale, fragile, large-eyed woman. w1iom life was almost ended. "I knew ymi would come yon were always good. I wauled fo see you before I died. I loved you when I lell you, mon ami. I yvotild have died for you; but your love was not tor nu a model a paid dancer. I was wild in dissipation after I lelt the Quartit1- I tried bard to kill myself and I have succeeded. With my first sign of illness came desertion audi poverty. The day I was brought here E h id gone to see your picture, and I fell down before it." He had laid the witer-MUes within-' reach of her thin fingers ; she took them: up and caressed the fleshy leaves. : 'They are like those I ued to gather liv tny childhood in a little village among the mountain. I wish I hud never come to Pari. But then I should never have met yon. she is beautiful nnl good, yontM young wife, but she cannot love yon as V did. Tines I I am lietter.

There was a rustle ot dra; ery in th - path between the beds, and Amy stood suddenly by her husband's side in her b aek dress a nil her sweet young matrou- honrl. with flowers, vio'ets ami heliotropes Hud pate roses in In r bauds. The sick woman raised herself. You here bis wife !" ' It was you who gave him to me." said Amy in ih-soft low no es that the yeai's love had brought info her voice "You were Jealous of me once, madame,' said the dancer. "You have no need to fear now." Amy laid the flower In her band. "You will get well again, ami you will leave Paris and live in the country amrng the flowers." Among the flowers yes, in my own country up hi the mountains where the lilies grow in the streams. Oh. yes I shall go hack !" Her eyes grew bright, her tce radiant, for one instant she was again the Aurora of the Quartier. Sudden ly she cried. "I am choking! Some water! My medicine!" and the life stream rose to her lijis. Arth tr Duncan caught tier in hts arms, and Amy knelt by the poor bed. The fast dulling eyes met Arthur's. He touched her hair wiih hi lips. The beautiful bead fell back on hi arm. the beautiful shoulder that had once shone above the scarlet bo dice hi tlie dance measure were clothed with a scarlet that scorched the whi'e lilies en her breast, even as Paris had blighted the pure white lily of her life. legal Papers In Rbyme, A suit for breach of protnie of marriage which presents some novel features, has jut been brought iii the Brooklyn City Court by Mis Araliella Paiieuia Fratber stone, against J.

A regiment of infantry were passing over a bridge in Spain recently, keeping step to the music ot the band, when the structure snapped assiiiuler. precipitating all into the abyss below. A terrible scene ensued and many lives were lost. This terrible catas trophe reminds ns of the fact that on most if not all ot the large bridges of tlie world, baiids'are prohibited from playing on or near them. A constant succession ol sound waves, like those trom a good band, will excite the wires to vibration. Military companies keep step fo tlie music and this increases the vibration of the wires. The regular trotting gate ot a dog crossing a sn-ieiisioii bridge is more dangerous to the bridge than tlie crossing of a train of cars.
