True enough, their roses bad pleuty of thorua. Still. Ulosaoui* cauie some time» James waa steady aud ready. Tbe knack of work cauie back to biin after awhile. He did what be could. Mary strove her best, looked happy aud wua contented. Like many an other couple lu these part*, they seem ed settled down for life, little beside them, little except drudgery before them, but enough, with tbe help of God, for all their need*. They bad health; they had frleuds; they bad a roof above them, a bit to eat and aa much to spare as would pay tbe rent. What better or more could they want? Bo tbe days passed and tbe mouths tramped by. Bpring came and went, summer allpped away, autumn brought the harvest and left it snug, winter crawled in, and tbe land went asleep. James put away his spade and fell to maklnx nets by the hearthstone. Mary took to dreaming again aa she sewed near tbe candle. About Hollentide a child waa born to them. All seemed well aud promising well, and then tbe blow fell, came swift and sudden like a flash from tbe sky or a bullet from a trench. Ab, but war la tbe aore thing! It's cruel and heartless! Like death, it spares no one. The happier you are the harder it hit* you, and tbe ones it hurts moat are tbe ones that never see IL the ones that sit dreading at home. “It waa only tbe other day that the thing happened—only tbe other day. Mary was at borne In the kitchen, sing ing to the child aud baking oaten bread at the table, when in through tbe doorway comes James with a let ter in his hand. He looked a bit strange. I’m thinking, for at sight of bls face Mary stops her singing aud turns to him. ‘What is it, James?’ says she. *TbaL’ answers James, handing her the letter. 'It’s come at last.’ •Come,’ says Mary. ’What’s come? Tell me, James—ab, tell me!* ’They’ve called me out,’ cauie back. ‘Called ya out?’ says Mary. ’Aye,* anys James, ‘that’s so. I’ve been expectin’ IL but I said nothin’. What was tbe use of talkin'?’ ‘Called ye out?" says Mary • again. ‘Where, James, where?’ ‘Off to tbe war, I'm thinkin’,’ answer* James, and the word was said. “They tell me that folr half an hour after the news came Mary said no word, nor James, nor so much, as look ed at each other. One tills side of the hearth and one that, they sat staring at tbe fire as dumb as tbe dead. James sat striving to smoke, Mary striving to think, with tbe child asleep beside them, and the bread burulng on the griddle, and tbe letter in Mary'a lap. Tbe blow bad come, sir, had come. "At last James lifts tbe tongs to atir tbe fire, and at that Mary rises, comes over and kneels by him on the floor. “ ’James,* says she, ’sure it’s not true? Sure, it can't be true?’ “ ‘It’s there,’ answers lie, nodding at the letter, but Mary catches him by the arm. " ‘No, no,’ says she; ‘ye can’t, ye cau’L ye mustn't go. No, no. How can ye go? Ye mustn't, James; ye mustn’t’ “ T must,’ answers James. ‘“But ye can’t ye mustn't Ah, my God, it'd break my heart! I’d sooner die at once, now, here where I am. than see ye go. Wby, it can't be. Bure, God would never punish me like that—to wait here, to lie awake think- lu* an' thinkin’, to sit dreadin’ an* dreadin', to see ye In my dream, to know ye were flgbtin’, to have yer face always before me. Ah, my God. I can't, James, ye'll not go. Ah, say ye won't? “ T must,’ answers James. " ‘What—go an’ leave us, go an’ leave ua? “ ‘I must’ answer* James. “ *Go away from us forever an’ ever an’ ever!* " 'It’s there,’ aays James from his stool, looking at the letter. ‘I’m on my oath. I'd be a deserter. I must •An’ ye will?* ‘1 must,' answers James, then turns to Mary and strives to comfort her. Sure, there was little to worry about. With God’s help all would come right In the end. He’d be back before long. People said the war would last only a month or to. Maybe he’d never go abroad at all; maybe the doctor would cast him; maybe more troops would not be wanted. And, if be did go. what matter anyway? He’d bring her a pension maybe, and a medal, and loot from tlie Cape. She'd have gov ernment money. With the help of friends she could manage while he was away. Hs'd write often. ' He'd— “Talk! Wliat’a tbe good of talk when the sky Is falling? What’s the use of tongue comfort to a broken woman? As wcl! offer life to s corn«* or preach wisdom to a fool.

Talk was uo use, pleading could do nothing, so «lie went back to her stool, took tbe child upon her knee and sat reading the fire. Like a atone she sat, dream ing and thinking, aa silent as tbegrave. James is going, going, going, thinks she. Then, In awhile, ‘What can I do? thluka she. 'What can I do to keep him?’ And always, through the weary i days that followed, her one thougnt was that: ’How can I keep him? What can 1 do to keep hlmF And so time went. •Three days ago (that was Thursday tn thia very week) was fair day in Clogheen, and after breakfast Mary ’ puts on lier her hat, bat, takes the child child-and and seta out with James for the fair. Twas1 nearly the last day, aaya she. Better,' sure, to spend It together In diversion.1 •Why, to be sure,’ answers James, J nothing loath, and In they trudged to Clogheen. I saw theffi there myself, going up and down the sidewalks, and, to all appearance the world was well with thcui. James bail his be.id ill the air and looked a lrifle flushed, as well he might, seeing all tbe friends that were wishful to bid him goodby, aud Mary, a little wild In her eye« and un steady about tbe lips. But. sure, all that was nothing at all. Not every day a man went to tbe ware; not every day a woman parted with the man. Bo most of us pitied Mary and clapped James on tbe shoulder and wished them both well. God be with them, «aid we, as tlie faahlon la, and might he bring them safe together again. •Cheer up, Mary!* said we. "Cheer up, girl. Bure, it’s not every woman In tbe town has married a hero.' And James laughed in hl* noisy way, but never a smile came near the lips of Mary. Her face waa the color of ashes. She had a wild, haunted look. All the time you were «peaking she was Just looking through you with her big black eyes, and her lipa were quivering. "Can I keep him?* must have been tbe thought with her always and ever. *Can 1 keep him from going?' •The day wore on, and about 2 o'clock Mary takes James in to Graham, the watchmaker's, on High street, to buy him some trifle of a keepsake to carry away with him. Tt'll be somethin' to look at,' says she and takes her place by the counter, ’somethin’ to mind yo of home.' So Graham often* a glass case and brings out bls tray of knick- knack«—lockets and chalua and scarf pins and all tbe rest- lays it In front of tbe two and waits for them to make their choice. ’Here's something 1 can recommend,* says he, 'and here’s a wee thing might take your fancy.’ But, though James liked thia and that, Mary couldn’t be satisfied. She wanted something better or something handier or something more useful, and Gra ham, being a good hearted man and knowing Mary well and the trouble she had, humored her all be could— brought out watches and rings and knives and spoons till tbe counter was thick before her. ’Would thia do,' says Graham, ‘or would this?* 'No,' says Mary; ’it won't.’ At last abe set tles on a silver locket» that being iier A light broke upon me. “Mary put It there!” cried I. “To lie *ure," answered Dan - ”to be sure she did. Sooner than hare James go to the war she'd make him a thief and have him tried and sent to Jail. Aye. that’s what she'd do." Again Dan paused, sighed deeply and went on. “AU, (rod help her Innocence,” said be. with all fervor, “and God keep her and send James back to her! Her trial was sore; her lot Is hard. Hue did her best— she did her liest. It was foolish and mad of her, but 'twas tbe best she could do. And all of no use, no mortul use in the world, for next day, before the magistrates, the whole story cauie out, and James was dismissed and Mary reprimanded. And there she la now, trudging home through the mists to her lonely liearth, with James gone from her, and bitter days before her, and the heart dead Within her. Dead, did I say? Well, maybe not, for didn’t James forgive her In the end. and hadn't she something of his to comfort her for many a day—tbe brulae on tier cheek that he gave her In the barrack when he turned and looked at her and guessed what she’d done?" CONSTANTINOPLE. I* Ha* Perks»* the Fisas* Sit* For • City la tk* World. Constantinople looks much better from the wuter than It does when view ed ashore. The tourist who touches at the port, remnlns on hoard and sees the city only from the sea retains an en tirely different impression Nbm that of him who goes ashore. Seen from tlie water, Constantinople is very beauti ful. Seen from the shore, it is the apotheosis of everything that is filthy ar.d foul. I do not say that it is un worthy of a visit, but I do say that be who stays on board will take away a much more picturesque impression. The site of Constantinople is ideal. There is probably no finer site for a city in tlie world. It la situate on the Bosporus, between the Mediterranean and the Black sea*. It lies between Eu rope and Asia, for Scutari is part of Constantinople, and Scutari is on tlie Asiatic shore. It is cut off by natural boundaries into municipal divisions, for the Golden Horn divides Stamlxiul. the Mohammedan, from Galata, the Christian, city. So the Bosporus di vides Scutari, the Asiatic, from Con stantinople, the European, city; yet all of these places make one great city under the genera) name of Constanti nople. And this great city is guarded also by nature. It has the sea of Mar mora close at hand, with fortifications at either end of this great water high way, rendering the city unassailable by sea. It has a peninsular conforms tlon which also renders it, properly for tided, impregnable by land as well as by sea. It is as if San Francisco were to have batteries of heavy artillery all around her water front, from India basin to the presidio, from the presidio to Lake Merced and then across the neck of the peninsula from Lake Mer ced to India basin. With all these fac tors in its favor no wonder that Con stantinople has always been looked upon as an idea) site for a city. That so many races should have battled over Byzantium for so many hundreds of years is not surprising.—Argonaut. WISDOM OF NOVELISTS.

Just as Graham stoops to open tbe till, slips a watch from the counter be neath her shawl, turns and walk* out. In a second tbe thing was done, and there the two were out again on the pavement. “Well, *lr, half an hour afterward, be the time more or less, Mary and James were sitting with a few friends in Mangan's parlor over a farewell drink when the sergeant of police comes to the door, crooks bls Anger at James and asks the favor of a word with him. It was Just this, sayk the sergeant when the two were face to face on the pavement—a robbery bad been committed in Graham’s shop. ‘Well,’ *ay* James, stiffening his back. Half an hour ago, the sergeant goes on, a watch was taken from Graham's counter. ’Well,' says James again, with a snort. He made no accusations, aud he was wishful to avoid a scene; but, says the sergeant, suspicion was heavy upon Mary and— “•On Mary? aays James. ’Ye aay that?

The short skirt for morning wear and for all wulking gowns Is the only skirt to have. An ex traordinary degree of perfection in the making of these skirts has been reached, which is one reason, by the way, for their popularity. They now- liang back Instead of forward and flare well below the hips ami yet fit close to the figure. This is accomplished solely by the cut and fit and not by any flounce, stiffening or trimming. In fact, some of the very smnrtest skirts are absolutely plain and yet would l>e no tlceable anywhere for the way they hang. Inverted box plaits at the buck of the pinin skirts, strapped seams or plain, as desired, are also rules to Is* followed, and the skirt must fasten at the laick, but with the placket hole well hidden. The front breadth is one of tlie principal parts of the gown to demand attention. It Is or should be «liais'd In accordance with the figure. It is usually as narrow as possible at the top, widening toward the foot, but to some figures this is not becoming, and for these there fa no marked dif ferenee in the width of the front breadth nt the belt or hem.—Harper's Bazar.

BLÀIE, Tlie letter V may tie regarded as tlie mutilated remains of one of the sym bols used by the ancient Egyptians in their hieroglyphics or picture writing. A common nnimal In their country was tlie two horned sand viper, a represen tat Ion of which stood for V. Tbe priests ultimately found that for the practical purposes of everyday life It was a waste of time to use elaborate hieroglyphics and invented a kind of shorthand to meet tlie occasion. In this the snake was reduced to a V with a dash (V----- ) to represent horns and body. The Phoenicians adopted tills letter, and from them we get our V by loss of the dash, leaving only tbe two little horns of the original picture.
