"What an odd little name for a young lady Pen!" said Hoy Delbert, to" Miss Dane, -who Lad been speaking of her cousin. "A diminutive," replied Dahlia Dane, suppressing a yawn behind her fan, as if tired of the subject. She vcas named Peselope for an aunt of ours who left her little income enough to buy ribbons sad gloves with Hcigho ! what a Terr hot day it is!" And itiss Dano looked down the road, &s if she would like to behold a chariot and six horses coming to bear her from the sufferings of that sultry afternoon. But Hoy continued to gaze down the garden, -where a young girl was busily catting heliotrope and carnations. She had not a pretty face, but it was a angularly interesting one, with dark eyes, gentle, tender, -and framed by nat ural wares and carls of dark brown hair. The profusion of hair was knotted back by a cherry ribbon, the only bit of color about Fen, while Dahlia 'wore a rich, silken robe of mingled pnrple and scarlet. Such rich tints suited the stately, handsoae girl. Boy often told her so, and wished to put her in a picture as Cleopatra, but Jfiss Dane declined. If it had been for another kind of charac ter! But Boy Dalbert was not that sort of man to care three straws for a Cleo patra. And here he was looking his eyes out after a girl who might hare sat for a Miranda or on Ophelia, while the blue Dane blood was coursing through that stately body with a tumult and rapidity which seemed impossible to one who only kaew Dahlia Dane as she appeared. She seldom seemed moved by any emotion. She was stately, graceful, cor rect in deportment, and 'striking for her superb health and habit of wearing rich colors. Boy had known her for a rear, and had never asked himself the question if he could love her. It was a piir, perhaps for Dahlia Dane loved him with all the force of a strong and repressed na ture. imperious ana resolute, a certain in dolenee and voluptuousness of tempera ment matte lie r seem lar gentler than she was. Boy had often referred to her beauty, to his artist friends in the city so freely as to make it impossible that he should be in lore with her such are the subtleties of love! Mks Dane rose, picked a book and crimson scarf from a piazza chair. "Come into the dining-room, and will order an ice for von." she said. Zicaso me for one moment, Boy re plied, and ran down the piazza steps. In aa instant he had come quickly be- J - . W a. . w . a luna ute jitue wiine-roued ngnre.

He did sot speak; but the sparkling glance resting on ner lace did not teem to imply the fault of stupidity. But Miss Dane was waiting, and he went back to ute piazza.

"It is far too hot to walk on the ter races this afternoon. This evening when the air is cool, or any other day, with pleasure. Boy, disappointed, shortly put on his hat and went to his -hotel. He had meant to stop at the arbor, where he saw Pen making bouquets, and ask her to .om them on the terraces where the swans came to be fed. JJot it was always so; his innocent plots of this kind always fell Ihrouch: ro wuiu xiufr lui e u j , um ji 2uaoe xum decidedly out of humor. He rowed he would not go to Thrushlaads again for a mouth sad was there the next day. This time ho was more fortunate. In stead of asking for Miss Dane, ho asked for the ladies, and the new servant showed him into the music room, where Pen was practicing. She rose. "If yoa will take a seat in the parlor, I will call Dahlia, she said. "I had rather stay here, if you will al low me," he replied, coolly seating him self; and was rewarded for this bit of au dacity "by Pen's readily consenting to play and sing for him. It was only a brief lialf-honr he had before Dahba discovered the situation, and cams down, but as, with that sweet face smiling upes him, he could not do otherwise than sake the best possible use of kis time, Pen's young heart, throbbing with a startled sweetness which showed itself in parted lips and flushed cheeks Dahlia discovered that her cause was a lost one. But for (ho proud beauty to surrender was an utter impossibility. "Iffy father wants you to do some eopylag for him, I believe Pen," she said coldly. Pen disappeared from the scene. I 15ut a rose me , mm1 dropped and the I t i f i i !n. Boy Dalbert for days asd weeks. Ho did not sco hor again in that tirao. It was not 6trangc, for Pen was proud, too, in hor way. "I did not know you wcro so fond of gonuemena society as to mtercopt my Visitors," Dahlia had said, snceringly, that day. after Boy had con. ron. stung to tho quick by all the in sult implied, niter ono silent, indignant glance, afterward absentod herself from tho rcry house wheneror Boy entered it. It was only a little way from her re treat in tho woods, back of Tlinishlands' bright grounds, that Boy walked with Dahlia aud gave her his confidence, but it ivas so far among tho oaks and .chest nuts that she heard never a wonl. thoncli she could plainlv sco his figure and the j eaten until it becanio necessary to un crimson and bfack of Dahlia's dress ; buckle their six shooter bolts, blankets herself undiscovered. wero spread under the branches of a livo "iliss Dane Dahlia " ho said "I oak, which seemed to stand guard over want to tell you something which I liavo long kept secret, because it is very precious to me.

Ho did not obserro tho quick blood mantlo her smooth cheek; ho only saw that she consented, readily to sit on tho mossy rock to which ho handed her, and listen This earnestness and tender conrUsy what did it mean out lua; no was tiers, af tor all? "I want you to bo kind to me," he said, slowly. "I am going to confess to you mat 1 lovo your cousin l'en. and ask her to giro you this letter.' He held tho letter before her, but she could not see it for tho rod cloud of pas sion that swept beloro tier eyes. "I have tried to say awkwardly enough probably what ia'in my heart. But if she is what I beliove her to be, she will le tender of such shortcomings. Say, Dahlia, yon have known hor long is. she not as gentle, sweet and truthful as a little girl can be? reader, you might havo pitied her then, tho enthusiasm of those handsome, upraised eyes sent such a stab to her heart. "She has a very nice disposition, and will appreciate this, no doubt," taking tha letter. "It will bo safe in your hands, and you will give it to. her soon?" were Boy's words as he assisted her to riso; and they walked on. When Dahlia Dane was alone that night, she locked her door, tore open the letter and read its everr word. It was a noble and manly letter one she wonld hare giren her great fortune to hare had addressed to herself by Boy uaibert. I do not know what prevented her destroying it, for she meant that it should never reach her cousin s ii.mil. She slipped the But this she did not do. sheet again into the envelope, and placed tne letter in a Japanese writing-desk, where it lay undisturbed a whole rear.

He waited first with hoje, then with anxiety, at last in the crudest suspense for an answer to his letter. Be ing certain that she had received it. he could finally come to no decision but that ho had been deceived in hor. The ' sweet light of those eves was bnt a will- o'-the-wisp, with no substance. His own delusion had made her tender and true , impossible to be unkind to the meanest thing that loved her. He had offered tier an honest mans best affection at least she need not hare scorned it. he said, bitterly. i He would not talk of the matter even 1 with Dahlia, but. still pursuing tho downward paui, she sought, in every way possible, to strengthen his resent ment against Ten, and destroy his faith in her. One dar. when she was ridimr with her groom, she was thrown from her horse. She did not seem much iniured at first; a slight wound only had been made upon her breast. But it did not heal.

A few days ago Dobson's wifo deter mined that as winter was coming on, it would be necessary to cover tho roof with a coating of fire-proof paint. Dob son agreed that the protection of the family against tho tiro fiend was tho first law of nature. Would I)obon bo so kind as to go up nnd measure the super ficial area of tho roof? Certainly, the head of the house was of tho opinion that nothing would lw coxier than to climb up to the roof and uieasuro it, that tho amount of jiaint needed might bo determined. Ho put a two-foot rule in his pocket and clambered up on tho rear of tho house by war of tho trellis work. Ho measured tho end of tho gable, aud then crawled along on tho ridge-polo on his hands and knees, measuring as ho went and tearing his pants on tho nails. Then a gust of -wind took him off tho ridge-pole, but by falling into a siaco between two extennion of the houso ho avod his neck. His profanity and antics brought a crowd of boys to the spot, who Wgan to evince great interest in tno proceed ing. When he gathered himself up he had forgotten how many feet tho ridge !olo measured aud so he wa obliged to go over it again. He measured all tho separate conformations of the roof and figured up tho square feet on a shingle. Then he started down over tho trellis work. He got down bringing with him $J0 worth of trellis work, sitoiling a suit of clothes, and dislocating his leg. "What are the figures?" asked his wifo as iihe brushed hor lonl off. "They are up on the oast end of the roof," roared Dobson, "and if you have any more curioitr than I. climb up and get 'cm. When I struck the last time they teemed to got jolted out of ray head." An intelligent carpenter was immedi ately given tho contract. He in five minutes got at the proposition by measuring the ground floor. Duration of Arctic TTlnter. Lieutenant Sohwatka also read a short paper on the duration of the Arctic win ter. The generally received opinion, said he, that the Arctic wintor, especially in tho higher latitudes, is a long, dreary one of perfect opaque darkness is not strictly correct. In latitude S3 degrees 20 minutes 20 seconds X., tho highest point ever reached by man, there are four hours and fortV-two minutes of twilight on December 11, the shortest day in the year in the Northern Hemis phere. In latitude S2 degrees 27 min ntes"., the highest point where white men hare wintered, there are six hours and two minutes in the shortest day, and latitude St degrees 32 minutes h.. 172 geographical miles nearer the North Pole than Markham reached, and 3i geographical miles from that oint, must yet be attained before the true FIstocw xone, or that one in which there is no twilight whatsoever, even upon the short -e-it day of the ear, can 1-e aaid to have ben entered by aaa.
