AGENTS FOR THE TVtRHl CH-KICAL PAINT, SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER mm. Pknlrl..!' 1 . e.criotloua In the midst of a pleasant conversation with his hostess, Harold Arleigh abrupt ly paused, a sudden flush on his fine face, a strange, startled look in his handsome dark eyes. What he had been about to say no one ever knew; of his ungraciousness he was not conscious until he saw Mrs. Golds by's glance of politely-surprised inquiry. "Pardon me," he said, turning toward her with a winning and apologetic smile; "I saw a lady among your guests just now so like a dear friend I knew and lost long ago, that the resemblance quite ex cited me." "Ah, you mean the young lady in white silk and opal ornaments, with curly yellow hair and cheeks like peach blossoms. She is very beautiful -there is none like her. She is Ermengarde Burroughs, a dear friend, who is staying with me for a few weeks. Shall I intro duce you?" returned the lady. "If you wish if you will be so kind as to honor me," faltered the young man, visibly embarrassed. His hostess gave him one keen but covert look. "Ermengarde has made another con quest." she thought. "If I dared I should warn him I should tell him that this fair woman, with her alluring, smil ing eyes, her sweet voice and exquisite grace, has no heart to be won." "Five minutes later her two friends were whirling througn a waltz together, and she wondered somewhat why Harold had grown so pale, and why Ermengarde seemed so haughty and cola. "One would think they were lovers who had quarreled," was her mental criticirm. She was not wrong, for years before those two had loved each other dearly. They had been betrothed, and the mar riage day faxed, when the trial came that parted them. Harold Arleigh suddenly found himself fatherless and utterly pen niless; but idleness and luxury had not spoiled his high and noble spirit. He could cheerfully accept years of toil and study and struggling, but he felt that he could not happily and conscientiously wed his wealthy Ermengarde until he might regain his worldly equality with her. "The world says unpleasant things of poor men who marry rich women, he had told her. "Whv should we care for what the world has said or may say," the girl re turned impatiently. "All I have, be longs to you, Harold dear. Do not leave me." Even in that trying moment, with her dear hands clinging upon his arm, her pleading eyes upon him, he never wavered. "I must, my darling," he had answered her firmly, though his heart was heavy with regret and pain. And remember though I leave you free I shall remain loyal to you in heart and deed as the only woman I can ever make my wife. I am not selfish enough to ask you to wait lor me a few years, my iirmengarde, What the girl replied she could never distinctly remember, but she knew her words were cruelly reproachful, for she was mad with the agony of losing him for even a few brief years. And he left her with a loos on his white beloved face she would never for get until her dying day. Bhe felt that he had wronged ner gen erous anection, insulted her womanly pride and left her with pitiless indiffer ence to be scorned and mocked as a bride deserted by her bridegroom. She had heard of sweethearts who had waited for lovers who had never come; of women who had wasted the best years of their lives upon loves that were false; and her whole soul cried out in utter, unforgiv ing anger against him. Neither pardon nor trust would she give him. And yet she accepted that freedom he had given her with a sort of defiant misery which all women feel when sloves of a love that neither time, nor anguish nor humilia tion, nor inhuman cruelty even can ever lessen. And that night at Mrs. Goldsby's soiree they had met again met alter long years as strangers. And during those years larold Ar leigh had won that for which he had toiled so faithfully. He had won an honorable position among the most hon orable of men; he was esteemed as one of the most brilliant members of the le gal fraternity; and by travel and study he had acquired that elegance and dig nity of manner mat commands the nom- age of society. If Harold Arleigh chose to wed an heiress, the world could not say he married for money and social dis tinction, nor would he feel that he would barter the noble independence of his .nan hood by such a union. But for him the wide world held but one woman, sweet and dear, and she, it seemed, was no longer attainable. Is this the Ermengarde 1 have loved all my life?" he asked himself, as he gazed upon her fair, passionless face; the Krmengarde in whose anections and faithfulness I trusted despite her un reasonable anger against me?" And he sighed heavily as he led her to a seat after the waltz was over. "I did not think to meet you here," he faltered, as the gay groups swept by, leaving them alone. "We meet many people unexpectedly, Mr. Arleigh," she answered in a cold, serene voice. Her cool tranquility almost maddened him. The years that had passed, seemed to him but -the dreary dream of an hour, and their sorrowful parting but of yes- lterday. i ' - over tier doui iiis 1109 ureavu cheek. ; rde," he whispered lii hoarse tones, "are you so Changed ite forgotten, ofr do you hat we were (Wee to each been faiffhfal.

Her lips moved with a little gasp, but what she meant to say she tjid not utter, for at that moment a gentleman came to her side, and with a word of apology to Harold, claimed her for the next dance. And just then his hostess touched his arm with her fan. "My husband is asking for you, Mr. Arleigh," she said, adding lightly, "Did you not find my dear Ermengarde charm ing ? She is a lovely creature. Just the least bit of a coquette, perhaps. I be lieve she is engaged to the gentleman who is dancing the German with her." Harold Arleigh despised gossip and regarded all rumors as unreliable, but in his present mood of suspense the words of his hostess grieved him as the most bitter nroven truth could do. Ermengarde had pleged himself to an other, and this was the end of his dreams and hopes. All that was left for him to do was to bravely bear his disappoint ment. But how could he meet her day after day and look upon her fair, dear face, listen to her sweet, beloved voice, and not betray the pain of his cruel loss? Many things puzzled Harold during the weeks that followed. Often he found her regarding him with a singularly thoughtful, half resentful look in ber earnest blue eyes. Once coming into the unlighted parlor at twilight, he saw her sitting before the piano, her golden head bowed low, her lovely form shaking with silent sobs. And once, when they were quite alone, she spoke kindly and gently of the evening they met. "You asked me a question that night," she said, with quiet dignity and a deli cate reluctance of manner; "it was" scarcely my fault that it was not answer ed then." "I know what you would have said, Miss Burroughs," he returned, gravely; "I am sorry for having so startled and offended you. I was wrong and incon siderate, and I can only acknowledge my fault and ask pardon for it." She regarded him for one instant with shy wonder, and then turned away haughtily, her fair face scarlet, and an unmistakable expression of scorn and re sentment in her blue beautiful eyes. "I fear I am hopelessly stupid," re sumed Arleigh, in pained, perplexed tones. "I am sure I have displeased you again, but I cannot conjecture how. O, Ermengarde, will you never understand that I would not willingly give you one moment of disquiet?" "I do not profess to understand you at all," she answered, as she left hira. "She denies me even her friendship," he thought sorrowfully. A long time after she had gone he stood by the parlor window, gazing out into the night a black, dreary night, with the rain drifting over the roofs in sheets, and the wild wind roaring up from the, river. "Just the evening for a cosy chat be fore a comfortable fire," observed Mrs Goldsby, coming in, and after ringing for lights, drawing the heavy curtains with a little shiver. "I thought Ermengarde was with you, Harold you are not go ing? Mr. Goldsby wished to show you those curious things sent him to-day. The dear fellow has a passion for odd and antique relics, and his study is quite an interesting museum, 1 assure you. Alan, do bring Miss Burroughs," concluded the vivacious little lady. Presently Ermengarde came a slim, elegant figure, dressed simply in black silk, with a cluster of white roses on her bosom. "Here is something you would like, Miss Burroughs," observed Mr. Goldsby taking from his box of relics a curious necklace of gold with a pendant of exqui site pearls. "If I could only know the history of all these things," murmured the girl, as she glanced ouer them a tiny grotesque bronze statuette, a few coins centuries old, a cup of silver fantastically carved, and among them a small toy pistol with a jeweled stock. "This, at least, is not so very ancient," she pursued, taking up the diminutive weapon. "Be careful, dear; it may not be harmless," remarked her hostess. The wise injunction came too late. As Ermengarde turned it about scrutiniz ingly, there was a sharp click and a re port. The dangerous toy dropped at her feet, and she flung up her shivering hands with a little cry of fright and pain. "O, what have you done?" cried Harold, as he saw the red blood trickling over her soft neck and staining the white roses on her bosom. "It is nothing," gasped the girl, and then tottered back upon the sofa, pale and unconscious. "She has only fainted," said Arleigh, as he bent over her. "There is no cause for alarm. The ball merely cut the ten der flesh," But the host had gone, evidently to send for a physician, and his frightened wife had followed him aimlessly into the hall. "O, my love, my love," moaned Har old. "I had almost rather see yon lying before me dead than to know that you will live to be the wife of another." It would seem that she heard his voice and understood his words even in her unconsciousness, for she suddenly opened her eyes and smiled 'like a little child awakening from a dream. "What were you saying, Harold ?" she asked, faintly, regarding hinPwith a wondering look. "That it is agony to give you up to another, my darling," he rejoined, slowly. Her pain and fright were all gone now. She arose before him proudly, her pale cheeks growing rosy. "Harold," she said, gravely, "if I am not your wife I shall never be the wife of another. You have wronged my love and fidelity if you have ever thought differently." The spell of the sweet old love dream was upon them. There was no need of explanations, for heart spoke to heart and understood each other; all anger was forgiven and all mistakes forgotten. , "I suooose onlv for mv stupid feci- Atmt Tse- should never have .been recon-: ciled," smiled Emengarde, "ly and bg "and I should have been as angry with yon all my life as I had been for years." "Those years of our lost happiness have not been lived in vain," he answered seriously. "Our love is tried and true, and your husband will be you honor and supporter, instead of a pensioner on your bounty." Lovely, happy Ermengarde was in clined to contest the practical part of her lover's argument, but, thinking of his great, manly love so "tried and true," she, with true womanly sentiment, began to believe in his wisdom. "After all," she confessed to Mrs. Goldsby, "I think I should despise a husband who would be what my dear Harold would have been if I, in my silly fondness, could have made him so. I loved him then; now I adore and honor him." "And we shall send you that enchanted pistol for a bridal present," Mr. Goldsby assured her, laughingly. Prince Alfred. The scene is purely sylvan and Eng glish, and in the autumn season espec iaUy is deliciously peaceful. While the sunlight brings a hundred hues to the planes and beeches, there comes a merry procession from the labyrinth of closely cropped evergreens. In advance runs a great, plump, handsome 5-year-old boy, laughing merrily, and not caring an atom for the cold, which has brought the color t i his cheeks as he runs by the side of his pet dog, a fine black retriever, the gift of a faithful retainer, whose loyalty is only exceeded by his want of imagina tion in naming the animal "Prince." Little Prince Alfred is greatly in love with his curly pet, and the dog canters along with bounding step, and head turned in invitation to a game of romps. Next comes a blue velvet perambulator, in which reclines the baby Princess, at whose side toddles an elderly sister, highly amused as "baby" crows to a white Maltese, who rolls along like the snowball he is named after. Little Princess Marie is shaking her curls at her fair young mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who, dressed in a suit of blue serge of the same hue as that worn by her children, is walking by the side of baby's perambulator. In another moment the watchful eye of the head nurse has detected .frince Alfred in a wild attempt to climb a plane tree, and recalls the high-spirited boy with a single word. All the Duchess' children have bright blue eyes, and are as free from shyness or any symptoms of "cod dling ' as the sternest of infantile discip linarians could desire. They turn their beautiful eyes with a frank, fearless look upon their new acquaintance, and are on cordial terms at once, 'lhe morning promenade with their mother is a happy time for the children who are accustomed to go with her to Russia, to Germany, to Cannes, or wherever her temporary place of sojourn may be. At this early hour the Duke of Edin burgh is mostly to be found reading or writing in his own morning-room a snug apartment, which, like all tbe oth ers in the house, is comfortably, not lux uriously furnished. Deformed as it is by exterior hideousness, Eastwell sup plies an excellent instance in favor of those practical people who insist that houses were not made to looked at, but to be lived in. The rooms are well dis posed for the purpose of circulation, and those in use every day are on the ground floor. Dining-room, music-room, draw ing room, morning-rooms and boudonir are all on a level, and are therefore de liciously convenient and comfortable, full of air and light. Two other apart ments on tha first floor are of especial interest to the select circle of visiting at Eastwell. These are the day and night nursuries, absolute models of what such apartments shonld be. To begin with, they are of immense size, perfectly lighted and ventilated, furnished with light maple and cane furniture, and com pletely free from the stuffiness of deep carpets and rugs. In a corner of the day-nursery is a military tent, a pres ent from his father to Prince ' Alfred, and is treasured accordingly. It is a spartan Kind of an eounce, made of gray striped material, with a plain deal table and a stool the kind of tent that der alte Fritz, who did not like dandy officers, loved to see his own ensconced in. Before a brightly burning fire is one of the good old-fashioned brass fire-guards several feet high, and to the left of this the cots of the four youngest children are? arranged. The two youngest, tired with the morning's promenade, are fast asleep ; but the little Prince is obviously already outgrowing the idea of going to bed at midday, for he is laughing merrily at the joke of be ing tucked up again after his glorious run with black "Prince." Little Prin rcess Marie, with her shower of fair hair spread over the pillows, and her great blue eyes half open, is a delightful sub ject for a painter a tiny sleeping beauty in the prettiest of woodlands, This mid day rest is part of the regular program at Eastwell, and appears to be successful if one may judge by present results, for finer and heavier children of their age taan little Prince Alfred and his sisters could hardly be found. At midday the Duke of .Edinburg has got through with his serious reading, and perhaps some practicing for the family musical party of the evening and is ready for a drive round the park, which is beau tiful and spacious enongh to afford ample scope for any kind of out-door entertain ment, in the afternoon mends arrive from the country side, from London, Pa ris and St. Petersburg. Like the major ity of those who prefer a small circle of friends to the crowd anil noise of large assemblies, England's Sailor Prince is thoroughly appreciated by those who know him. He is emphatically what is called a quiet man cheerful rather than joyous, pleasant rather than sparkling. Thoroughly German in his taste for mu sic and serious studies, he is completely English in his domestic life. No Lian is more nleased with the perfect working of his establishment, from Che metropolitan recon-Ainspeetor, who, with a brace of consta bles, keeps watch and ward at Eastweil, Corvallis Gazette.

Old habits of discipline picked up on the Galatea, and confirmed by recent experience afloat, cannot well be shaken off, though the sportive humor of early days may have died out. Like his brother, the Prince of Wales, he likes good things in reasonable quantity, and is a steady opponent of the German cus tom of turning dinner into a wearisome ceremony, protracted beyond all reason able limit by a cumbrous menu. At the little dinner at Eastwell there is no be wildering number of dishes, but a good straightforward bill of fare, that may be eaten through with perfect enjoyment. Bare things, however, appear at these modest banquets dishes, the mere men tion of which sets the gourmand agog wild boar from the forests in which Ar niinius brought the Bomans to naught, and sterlet from the more distant Volga. The sterlet, which is to the sturgeon as a smelt is to a whiting, arrives on some lucky day at Eastwell packed on ice. The eating of him is a species of celebra tion, and very good indeed he is when, "accommodated" after the genuine Rus sian fashion. As a rule, music follows dinner at Eastwell ; but at times, on the days, for instance, when the Revue ' des Deux Mondes arrives the Duchess of Edinbnrg, who reads a great deal in sev eral languages, will retire to her boudoir to learn the last vord of the French au thors, whom she knows as thoroughly as the Russian poets and novelists, whose works are to be found wherever she is. There are no late hours at Eastwell ; the life in whieh is simply that of the young parents of an interesting family, who find fair quiet and sweet rest among the Kent ish woodlands. Pathetic Scene in a London Charity. With the temperature again below freezing point, and in an atmosphere of chilling mist, that struck to the heart even of the warmly clad, and must have been bitterly felt by the bare-footed, miserably covered men, women and children who recently cratheredogetber from the poorest courts and alleys in and around Steppey, a sight never to be for gotten was presented to a few kind and helpful spectators in Conder street, Salmon's lane, and drew tears from not a few of those eyes that looked upon it. Liberal as was the dole of warm and savory food on which 600 starving creatures were rendered less deplorably wretched by kind hands at the London Cottage Mission, it was pitious to observe how many scores and hundreds, in the desolate street outside, had to turn mournfully from the entrance at which many of them had waited from 12:30 until nearly 3. A chatitable lady, Miss Napton, whose smiling hopeful face seemed to cheer many of the most dispirited among the guests, as she moved quickly to and fro, was the chief assistant of Mr. Austin in the distribution of food. Those who partook thereof were all expected to bring their own knives, forks and plates, or basins ; and it was pitably strange to see what kind of table furniture served as an apology for such civilized appliances. Cracked and broken earthenware, no two pieces alike, battered leaden spoons, knives without handles, forks with scarcely a prong, anything in fact, that would serve to hold a victual, and to carry it from platter to mouth, decked the well-scrubbed boards, ranged on trestles with due regard to space. The ravenous eagerness with which the portions were clutched, after the im patient suspense that could scarcely endure to wait far a blessing, told its melancholy tale. A mother cried before she ate, because there were others not there who would have been glad to divide with her the smoking plateful. A little girl, terrible hungry, refused to touch a morsel until she was well assured to carry home another portion. Whole families were among the crowd, and where any member had got sepa rated from the rest great was the lamen tation. An excitement natural enough with unaccustomed visitors actually spread to the servers of the feast, and for a time both Miss Napton and Mr. Austin were overcome by visible emotion. Grave city men had a difficulty in main taining their usual demeanor : and one of them, after struggling from a painfulbr agitated condition to comparative poP ness, said, with a subdued and earnest . voice: "This is a work of true practical religion."
