THE LOST LETTER.
Tlicy are standing on the veranda;
ho Is bidding her good-night.
"I am going away, Miss Lcgrango,"
he says, looking earnestly into her ace
as ho speaks.
'Indeed! for long?" There is no
treiuulonsness of tone nor heightened
eolor.
lie is disappointed; ho has hoped
that she would show some reluctance
to part with him. "Six months or a
year, perhaps forever," he adds, a little
bitterly.
She is startled, but slio is calm and
quiet when she answers: "Wo will all be
sorry td lose you."
"Will you bo sorry, Miss Hose?" he
questions, diroetly.
"Why, of course; have we not been
good friends?"
"Friendslyos; but well, good-night
May 1 call again and say good-bye? I
do not start until Monday."
Something seems to till her throat
and choke tier; sho docs not answer,
but turns suddenly and runs down the
steps. She pauses before a white rose
bush, growing besido the walk, and
picks otie; when sho returns to him she
Las gained her self-control.
"Here is a rose for your buttonhole ;
what was it you said ? 'shall you come
and bid us good-bve?' We should feel
very much hurt if you did not." She
says all this in an easy running tone,
perfectly free from emotion.
As she gives him the rose, ho takes
the hand that holds it, and kisses it
twice, then hurries away.
" Fool that I was to suppose that she
cared for me," ho mutters, as ho strides
down the street. "What am I to do
now?" he asks himself as ho unlocks
his door and enters his bachelor quar
ters. "Will sho, or will sho not consent
to becomo Mrs. Lawreneo? that is the
question." Ho llings himself into a
chair and puts his boots on tho table.
My scheme has worked far from satis
factorily ; nevertheless, if I fail, I will
go away, anyway; I can take a vaca
tion and go and see mother."
Ho gets up discontentedly and paces
tho room. "Hy Jove! I have it! I'll
write to her."-
Miss l.r.diiANOE: I cannot see you airuln
without telllnir you nil I hut is in my heart.
Tis useless for me to sny good-bye without
fiivlnif more. ITmiIphs? Nay, imposslblel You
van iriipsswhat 1 mean. If you wish me to
call ii iriii ii, send mo one word, "Come." and 1
will be with you Saturday niirlit. If you can
not sny more than irood-bye. do not reply to
this, aiid you will never be troubled again by
E. Lawukncb,
"There, that will settlo it. I'll go
and put it in tho ofiiee to-night."
Saturday comes and goes, but brings
no answer to Kugono Lawrence, waitr
ing and watching for one word. Ho
builds high hopes in the morning, and
feels sure of success. But is with an
exceedingly heavy heart that ho sees
the sun go down; still ho docs not re
linquish all hope for there may be some
delay. So ho waits as patiently as he
can until Monday, which wears itself
into night, without bringing him the
welcome mossage. Ho waits one more
day, hoping against hope, but to no
purpose. Then he. wearily packs his
belongings and leaves town.
And Rose? Longingly she waits for
the good-bye visit, and wouders much
when he comes not.
Time passes, and in the early sum
mer Mrs. Legrange, Rose's mother,
dies, leaving Koso and her little brother
Harry to tho care of an undo, in a dis
tant city. After tho funeral Koso starts
for hor uncle's, not knowing what else
to do, but feeling sure that sho will not
long remain dependent. Her father
has been dead many years, and it is his
brother to whom she is going.
Mr. Legrango receives them coldly,
and very soon makes thorn feel their
dependence. . Rose's is a sensitive,
high-strung temperament, and she
thinks she could endure anything bet
ter than the petty slights and sneers to
which she is daily subjected in her
unclo's house. She takes a small room
and obtains some sewing; the remuner
ation is very slight, but as nothing else
offers sho is glad to get anything, by
which she can earn enough toT got
food for herself and Harry. Rut soon
her rent falls duo and she has no means
to meet it. She is wondering what she
shall do; she has just finished some
sewing for Mrs. Lawrence, but it is
Saturday night and nine o'clock, too
late for her to take it home, so she
abandons tho thought of dinner to
morrow, and thinks Monday morning
she will give all her earnings to the
landlord, which will fall short of what
she owes, but may perhaps give her a
respite. As sho takes up Harry's little
torn trowsers to mend, her eyes tall
upon a neatly tied package, marked
"Mrs. Lawrence," and that name sends
her thoughts adrift, away back to an
other Saturday night when sho had
watched and waited in vain, for tho
coining of one of that name.
Presently she hears a man's step com
ing up stairs; her heart beats faster
and sho holds her breath as it pause
before the door; a second passes and
then conies a knock; sho is timid about
opening tho door. She half rises, then
sinks back into her scat. Tho knock
is repeated. Shall she open the door?
Who can it be? The landlord, per
haps. With this thought sho rises just
as tho knock is again repeated. With
a tierabling hand and seared face she
opens the door.
Her nerves arc unstrung, and she al
most screams aloud as she beholds Eu
gene Lawrence, but not quite.
"I have come for some sewing of my
mother's." he begins, stepping across
the threshold; the light is in his face,
and he has not recognized her.
She closes the door without turning
around, trying to keep her face from
him, but as she has eaten nothing since
the day before, her step Is rather un
certain, and sho staggers forward as her
hand leaves i he knob; ho springs tow ard
iier and catches hor arm.
"Koso Legrange! Is it possible?" ho
exclaim, iu consiornation.
"At vour service," sho rotui ns. trvinrr
to speak lightly, but sinking wearily hJ
"Has it come to this?" he asks, look
ing around tho room.
"I am not ashamed to work," she
Bays, proudly.
"i'o, no! not ashamed to! O, but
that you should lie obliged! Will you
tell mo about yourself and how you
camo here?"
"Bo seated, please. If vou care to
hear, I will toll you," aud slie resumes
her mending involuntarily. "There is
not much to tell," sho begins; sho has
been sewing a button on liarry's pants;
something drops out of tho pocket and
falls on the floor, and as she discovers
a holo in the pocket she eniptlos it in
or.lor to mend it She takes out somo
twino, mnrblos, an old key, nails and
many other old traps, and at tho very
bottom a bit of crumpled, dirty paper;
sho lays them on the table and resumes
her sewing and hor story.
Ho picks it Up mechanically and ab
sently smooths it out It is a letter,
sealed and stamped. Suddenly ho be
comes aware that ho is reading tho
name of "Mis's Koso Legrange," in his
own handwriting. Ho hastily tears it
open and roads his own letter to her
written over a year ago.
Sho is surprised at his behavior.
"Mr. Lawrence, you forget yourself,"
she savs.
"Will you be kind enough to read
that letter," ho exclaim, excitedly, "it
is evident it never reached you." "
She takes it wonderimrlv. roads it
slowly, then looks inquiringly into his
eager face.
"Do vou understand?" ho nsks. im
ploringly.
"Hardly, sho returns; then reads It
over; a light seems to break upon her,
for tho tell-tale color rushes into hor
face and betrays hor.
"Had you received it when it was
due, what would you have said?"
"M)uio, sho whispers.
"My darlinjr! my darlimr." he ex
claims, folding her in his arms.
She falls limp upon his breast.
"What have I done! havo I killed
her?" ho cries in alarm.
"Xo," sho answers faintly, "I am
ouly faint aud weak, it will pass pres
ently." "What is it? what is tho matter?"
"Nothing, nothing ! I have had
nothing to cat since yesterday, and
have been working all day, and I am a
little dizzy; that is all."
"(treat heavens! that is enough! You
shall go to my mother to-night I will
not leavo you again alone. 0, that
you should have conio to this through
mo. tool that 1 was not to have spoken
when I saw you, not to have trusted to
luck."
Sho smiled at his vehemenco.
"Do you know, darling, it was all a
ruse, my going away? I just told yon
that to see if you cared, aud I thought
you didn't.
"Did you think I would lotvousco,
if I did care?"
"And you missed me?"
"It almost broke my heart."
"(), what an idiot I havo been."
"I am strong now," she says, releas
ing herself from his oinbraco.
"And you will go with me?" ho ques
tions. "Yes," sho answers, confidingly.
"But wait, I will wako Harry, wo must
take him."
"I suppose so," ho returns, laughing;
"tho little heathen, keeping that letter
hidden away in his pocket for over a
year."
n lien they aro going noruo tnoy ques
tion Harry about tho letter, but ho re
members nothing of it. After much
thinking he does recall ono morning
when the postman gave him a letter to
take into the house, and ho put it into
his pocket and forgot it.
"If we had not ooen so poor," says
Rose, laughingly," those old clothes
would have been thrown away long ago
and the letter with them. Arkamaw

A Swindling Builder or Old.
Tho operations at Peterborough Ca

wall of tho tower, while possessing a
spacious face of good stone blocks,
had within nothing more substantial
than loose bits of stone and dry rub

which ought to have been soiiil as tue
rock itself, were found precisely simi
lar in construction, down even to the
foundations, where, to tho increased
amazement of the explorers, a still
more flagrant specimen of mediieval
"jerry" work was encountered. Cor
rectly speaking, there never had been
any foundations to these piers at all,
their lower courses having been simply
bedded on a layer of loose rubble chips
and sand, these in their turn resting
upon natural gravel only. There is
rock a foot or two lower down, but,

I'uisliir and Table Manners or (he Moors.
Tho cooking one meets with In a
Moorish house is very peculiar, and, I
may say, also, very indigestible. They
have three different ways of cooking
everything by frying, baking iu earthen
pots and steaming, together with, in
tho case of soup, boiling. Tho meals
served being usually three in number,
consisting of a light breakfast in tho
morning, at which is snrvod hot milk,
coffee and bread and butter. The hot
milk is quite nice, it being sweetened
and having boiled in it an herb which
gives to it a flavor very liko cinnamon,
which I, at lirst thought it was. The
cotleo is liko all Turkish, sweetened
when boiling, tho berrv being ground
very tino, you getting, fn consequonce,
many of the grounds. My host always
flavored his with a little dash of oraugo
flower water. Tho bread was bet
ter than is usually met with in
Morocco, tho flour from which it
was mailo being ground and sifted in
his own mill. The butter was on my
accouut fresh, tho Moors liking theirs
as rancid as possible, burying it in tho
ground in stono jars, and leaving it to
season as long as four years. Somo of
it is made of sheep or goat milk, and
is very white, having a not unpleasant
tlavor. Lunch was about tho same as
dinner, only the- courses fewer. For
dinner soup was served as tho first
course, and was ordinarily vory nice;
a steamud dish of meat usually mut
ton, then followed, or a sort of stow,
the whole swimming in butter, very
rich and indigestible; fish next fried
in cooking; tins was shad of tho very ,
finest description,' mora excellent and '
larger than tnoso in our country, their
si.o, fatness and tlavor being incredi
ble to believe. Chicken baked in but

when eating, rolling up his flowing

and carries it to his mouth, tho right
hand never being used. Betwoeu

Pawnbrokers' Signs.
The pawnbrokers' insignia is under
stood to havo its foundation in the arms
of tho Medici family, a representative
of which wont from Lombardy to Lon
don in tlto Middlo Ages, and, being very
rich, set up business as a banker or
money lender. Tho arms of his family
consisted of threo gilded pills, which
had direct allusion to their profession
of medicine. Besido being "doctors"
they were the richest merchants in Flor
ence and tho greatest monoy lenders.
Tho branch of tho family which settled
in London commenced business in Lom
bard Street Whether tho family arms
were used as a sign to attract has not
been stated, but there scorns to bo no
question that this was tho origin of the
threo golden balls now used to indicate
the presence of pawn-broking estab
lishments. It is observed that the busi
ness of lending money on pawns was
carried on in England by Italian mer
chants or bankers as early, at least, as
tho reign of Richard I. By the 12 Ed
ward L, a messuago was confirmed to
those traders, whore Lombard Street
now stands, but the trado was first rec
ognized in law by .fames I. Tho namo
Lombard, according to Stow, is a con
traction of Longobards. The Lombard
bankers exorcised a monopoly of pawn
broking till the reign of (Juocn Eliza
beth. Another interpretation of the
three balls signs is that it indicates that
tho pawn-broker exacts two-thirds col
lateral as security for tho one-third
which he lends to the borrower. It has
been otherwise dubbed "the two toono"
business. Brooklyn Eagle.
