"Is thero nothing you would wish to save, Miss Arthur 1" questioned a voico at her side, tho morning of tho sale.

Hut when, in tho dusk of tho evening, n cart stopped befoio tho door, and ono by ono articles hallowed by association her father's chair, hor own desk, her mother's fa orito pictures wero brought in, tho feelings so long repressed gave way ton buret of tears. Who had dono this thing 1 For ono moment tho honest bltto eyes which had met her own that tlay roso beforo her. Uut, no I such delicacy belonged not to their owner's rank in life. Nor was it n stranger's work. Somo ono must ha 0 known her well to havo holccted tho fow things it had been such bitter wnrfaro to pat t with.

Somehow, these weiU seemed to havo improved him, too. Ho had acquired a polish; or was it only inditlerence, whero lovo had reigneel I "Men easily forget," bho thought, and with tho thought sho sighed. Tho Wintor wore to an end, nnd slow ly tho invalid gtcw weaker and moro weak. Tlio shock had been greater than her nervous system could bear, nnd sho sank under it dav bv day, until tho exertion of moving fioin her bed to her couch beenmo too incut, when, for tho flist time, tho realization burst upon hor dnuchtcr that sho was soon to bo left dcsolntn indeed.

But tho bitter sorrow was in store, as tho invalid's rest npproached moto nnd moro near, until tho Angel of Death stooped and gathered her to his breast, Larl was thero nt tho Inst, and ns sho lay so quietly on her pillows thoy thought her spirit had tlown sho suddenly roused, and laid her daughter's hand in his. "Tako her," said she. "I givo her to you I" Then tho oyes closed forover. "Do not mind it ; sho meant only as n brother, Irene," ho said, in comfort, daya after, to the weeping girl, and Iicno wondered why sho could not as such accept it. So tho we.uy days merged into weeks, tho weeks into mouths, and tho proud young spii it learned its own bitterness. Sho saw Hail rarely now there was no longer tho invalid's impatient dnmttnds upon his timo.

Had he, then, forgotten nil his words tho lovo he had said was hcis foiover or did its palo ghost lio buried, too 1 Hut sho must speak sho must not let him know. " Cood-by 1" sho faltered J then, spito of herself, the words sho had thought locked in her heart burst from her : " Earl, do not go.

" What matters it o you 1" " Everything 1" sho exclaimed, as her Pay of British Army Officers. When tho army estimates wero before tho ilouso of Commons recently a mem bcr, a former Guardsman, complained of the pay of tho Household Ilrigado being so much moro than that of tho line. Ho pointeel out that, whereas a Housohold Cavalry colonel gets 532, a lino colonel gets but 410; a major in tho former X 145, in tho latter i.J01. Captains in tho Household Cavalry get .275, lieu tenants 188, second lieutenants 1 16, and adjutants 237 ; whilo in tho lino cavalry tho pay for theso grades was 2GG, 104, 140, and 201). In tho Foot Guards, majors receivo 419, cap. tains 282, lieutenants 233, second lioutcnants 100; while in tho lino tho pay of a lieutenant-colonel commanding is310,ncaptain211,lieutenant118, second lieutenant 05. Those figures will show what a much hotter thing it is to bo in tho Now York iwlico than in her Majesty s army. Tho humblest door man in tho noblo forco which guards our lives and property rocoives $524 moro than a sub-lieutonant of her Maiestv's Guards; whilo a patrolman has 150 moro than a cantain of tho lino. wlm. moreov er, would ordinarily serve at least tea years beforo ho attains that rank. It must bo remembered, too, that tho offi cer lias to expend a considerable amount of inonoy in his education, to pass a pretty stiff examination, provide himself wun a mucn more expensive uniform, and pay heavy mess bills nnd regimental dues. At tho samo time, in contrasting the expenses of these corns, it is fair tn add that British officers nro not called 141011 to mako a purso periodically for u hbuumuv. 11 uo onco Known in England lhat 11 stalwart voun mnn mn albeit quito uneducated, obtain 820 a mentn, witn freo lodging in London a Itttrolman'H pay is 5 12 (328) there will bo serious dancer of ilitrtinn on the Mit of Queon Victoria's needy sub- uueins now struggling on less than f 000 ajear, who -will prefer tho fleahpots of New York to the spears of Zululand.
