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

than see ye go. Wby, it can't be.
Bure, God would never punish me like
that—to wait here, to lie awake think-

know ye were flgbtin’, to have yer

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

" '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

friends she could manage while he
was away. Hs'd write often. ' He'd—

There was the trouble for Mary. 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

went.

Clogheen, and after breakfast Mary ’

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

“To lie *ure," answered Dan - ”to be

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

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.

In a second tbe thing was done, and
there the two were out again on the

with a snort. He made no accusations,

Th* Shor* Skirt,
One point is settled and for some
months to come. 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,

In Holland the nests of storks are
generally on tbe summit of a tall post,
put up on pur|iosc for them, on which
is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer: “A Dutch gentleman
of my acquaintance has one such post

work for the reception of the nest. The

Btorks have no voice. The only noise
they make is "klappering" (snapping
tlieir great red mandibles rapidly and
loudly). Thus they greet one another,
generally by turaWiUg lAciC tue lmTifl

back, but occasionally “klappering" is
performed with the head and bill in
the former position.
