A fow days search, and slip was ro

tlio red flag, which seemed to her to bo
dyed in her heart's blood.
"Is thero nothing you would wish to

at her side, tho morning of tho sale.
Sho turned haughtily toward tho
stranger, but something in his clear blue
eyes bent upon her witnessed tho words
hold honest meaning.
"I beg your pardon sir," sho nnswcicd,

"I havo not tho pleasuto of your ac

Thoy were, indeed, liko old friends

banker's daughter, he, a man who had
risen from tho humblest ranks, but

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

had como forwmd in this second hour of
Mill'oring , but through nil sho missed
him, and tho thought that ha hnd learned

She was thinking of him ono ovening,
when hn entered.
"I nm going away, Miss Ireno," ho
Bind. " Will you bid mo God BpceiU"
Tho old prido t niggled for mastciy

but tho words hIio stiovo to utter refused
to come.
" I havo been studying law during
theso years of haul woik, nud am now

come. You will think of mo sometimes,
Irene, and if in trouble, remember tho
words I onco said that I stand nlwajs
ready to act tho p-utof 11 fiieudl Is
oven this asking too much 1" ho added,
ns hei silence continued.
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. I cannot boar it 1"
" Irono 1" whero had hid icy indiffer

voico trembled in his strugglo for calm
ness. " 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.

tea years beforo ho attains that rank. It
must bo remembered, too, that tho offi

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

"Let us," said the Sunday school

How Sho Described it.
Ho was n bald-headed bacholor, whose
heart for the liist timo had been moved
by tho tender passion.
"Thru jou comtss, no snui, in a
trembling voice, to tho object of his re
gards, mat jou iiKc mu a iicno mat
jou ndmtio ceitniii qualities ot my

"Yes," shyly responded tho young
lady.
" And may I ask," ho continued, in a
voico of emotion, "what thoso qttolitiei
arot"
" I can hardly explain," said tho young
lady bashfully; "but I think it is be
cnuso your head is so mellifluent I
can't cxnrcss it moro clearly."
"And vou can nev cr know how I or
prcciato your high opinion," exclaimed
tho lmppv bachelor, ns ho pressed her
hand.
Ho didn't know just what "mellifluent"
meant, but lio was suro it woa tho syn
onym for homothiiig L'rnntl and enno-
bliiiL'. and when ho bade her good night
ho lushed cngetly home, excitedly took I
down tlio dfctionnrj', and feverishly
turned to tho endeared word. Ills blooil
changed to ico as ho read :
" Smooth, soft, ntollow."
