HER BIRTHDAY.
"By-by, Dolly; don't sit up for me; I
mayn't be home till late."
. And handsome Dick Everett, seal
capped and overcoated, bent to kiss his
prettr little rife.
"Must you really go, Dick?" im
ploringly. "Must I really go?" , he repeated.
"What a dreadfully solemn face! Yes,
you ridiculous darling, I really must."
"Why?" persistently.
"Oh.because of an an engagement I
I cannot break, dear P a trifle guilt

Don't trouble your pretty Eead with

furry head inside the door, "if you are
in search of a job, I just wish you'd
mend my other overcoat. ,1 noticed a
big tear in it for the first time to-night.
Will you?"
And to his rather disconnected speech
Mrs. Dick nodded, and smiled a bright
acquiescence.
The door slammed behind Dick and
she glanced round the cosy, home-like
room. i -'.w.
"If Dick had not been obliged to go
out and such a cold night, too."
The gas burned brightly.
. The cheery fire in the grate was abed
of golden coals.
The French , clock on - the mantel
ticked musically. :
Towards the crimson-covered table,
on which lay a pile of unopened maga
zines, looked two wistful blue eyes.
But the bride of six months shook
her dainty, bronze-brown head with
resolute determination.
The rosy lips repeated the hack
neyed formula- "Duty first, pleasure
.after." - :
j So, accordingly, the little white
hands laboriously lugged and hauled
Dick's big overcoat into the room,
turned it over, and commenced their
wifely occupation.
She smiled softly to herself, for her
thoughts were pleasant ones as she sat
and sewed.
A rarely pretty picture in the par
lor's fire-lit glow, the childish figure in
the soft dark drees and snowy muslin
apron, the busy hands flying briskly
through their task.'
"To-morrow will be my birthday, and
Dick has forgotten it, I know. How
sorry he will be when I tell him to
morrow." And as it broke merrily into "Coming
xnro' tne juye," tne French clock on
the low marble mantel struck 10.
Her ; task finished, she turned the
coat over to see if it needed other re
pairs, and as she did so a small square
sheet of creamy paper fluttered from
u lusiue poc-Jtei ana ieiiupon tue car-
pet. ' .-.
She bent forward and picked it up
with a laugh.
"Which of Dick's friends is suffi
ciently foppish to perfume his love let
ters, wonder?"
Then she turned it right side up and
looked at it?
And she saw what?
Nothing very alarming.
Only a thick sheet of embossed paper,
stamped with a monogram, in blue and
gold, incomprehensible as monograms
usually are.
A woman's letter, decidedly, written
, in pretty, scrawling, irregular hand,
unmistakably a woman's.
The bird-Eke song died on Dolly Ev
erett's lips.
The soft,' bright color faded slowly
out of her face.
The blue eyes grew wide and startled
as deliberately, though almost involun
tarily, she read the few words on the
page before her.
The note ran : . . ,
"Dear Darling I have missed you
dreadfully of late. Come. Exercise diplo
macy to-night and slip away. I hate her for
, keeping you from me. Besides, Gerster is in
town. Is the hint too broad? In spite of alL
Dick, ever your Esther."
That was all.
But it was enough.
For a few moments Dolly's eyes,
' blazing, terrified, stared straight at the
fatal sheet, as though they would shrivel
it up with their blue fire.
Then she flung it shudderingly from
her, as though it were a venomous
thing, and could sting her.
"Who was the woman who dared write
in that manner to Dick her Dick?
yes, she told herself, with an air of de
fiant proprietorship, hers only.
She crushed her hands tightly to
gether, till the diamond next the plain
gold circlet cut the white flesh ciuelly.
Then , as a horrible suspicion leaped
to life. in her brain, with a slow moan
she slipped from the chair and crouched,
shivering, against the great shaggy
: overcoat.
Her fears took shape. r i

For the first time he had evaded

. her. f? ,;.:-.v;" . j;-:
She snatched up the note again and
looked at it. !
It was dated the evening of that day.
"Oh, Dick! Dick!" ste cried wildly,
" how could you, how could you? And
I loved you so I" '
Then with a sudden burst of sobs she
. broke down altogether, and, burying
her face in the crumpled overcoat, wept
and wept as if her. very heart would
break, the graceful little figure was

up the steps.
A latch key turned cautiously in the
door.
She neither heard nor stirred.
In the hall Dick paused, a cnrious
smile on his lips.
"Dolly's asleep, as suro a3 fate!"
He divested himself of hat and over
coat, and, humming a popular air,
turned the handle of the parlor door.
"Goodness! Golly, what's the mat
ter?" - His song came to an untimely end as
he caught sight of the sobbing, shaking
- little figure on the hearth-rug.
He took one stride toward her, but
at the sound of his voice she had sprung
to her feet, with crimson cheeks and
dangerously sparkling eyes.
"Stand off, sir! Don't djxe to touch
me!"
"Great heaven! Dolly " in direst
oewuuermeni.

"Don?t mention my name so soon
after hers this 'Edith,' to whom you
are 'Dick, darling !' "
"Dolly!"
"Can you find , no pther word with
which to defend or vindicate yourself
except the repetition of my name?" this
last with unnatural calmness.
The temperature had wafted round
from the torrid to the frigid zone.
"Have you gone mad?" slowly.
"If I have, find the caose there."
Scornfully she flung him the crum
pled note.
He snatched it eagerly and read
every word.
Then he lifted up a face of, if possi
ble, more intense, utter bewilderment
than before.
"Where did you get this, Dolly?"
"There."
; She pointed dramatically to the tum
bled overcoat.
"There ?" in blankest astonishment.
"There!"
He glanced from the note to the coat,
from the coat to the note, then back
again to Dolly.
She was longing desperately to
steady her voice and still her heart suf
ficiently to ask him how he liked Ger
ster, just to exhibit a piece of stinging
sarcasm; but she could not to save her
life. ,7-:,:M
There was a blank silence a moment,
then Dick walked over and picked up
the overcoat.
Hark! What was that?
Not a laugh, surely.
Yes, a laugh.
The maddest, merriest, wildost peal
that ever rang from human lips.
There on the hearthrug stood Dick,
the coat fallen loosely on the floor, his
hands on both hips, and laughing
well, he was.
"Dick !" in faltering amazement.
"Yes," howled Dick.
"Oh, Dolly, it's the best joke of the
season."
"Oh-h "
And then he was roaring like a circus
mad schoolboy again.
: "Dick tell mo!"
Then, seeing her white, anxious face,
he grew suddenly grave.
"Dolly, did you look at the envel
ope?" "I saw none."
He showed her the envelope that had
fluttered unnoticed under the table.
She read the address :
Richard Harvey, Esq.,
192 Blank street.
"Dolly, did you particularly notice
the overcoat?"
A tremulous "No!"
"Look! See that velvet collar those
buttons, this pocket-book ! Is this my
overcoat?"
"Oh, Dick, my dearest, forgive me?
No, no, no!"
She was sobbing in his arms now.
"My darling!"
"But," bubbling again into boyish
laughter, ' what a good joke! To think
that I should walk home in, and that
you should mend, Dick Harvey's over
coat ! Wonder if his folks are going
through my pockets now?"
"Who's Edith?"
"Hi3 sweetheart, whom he has to
sneak off to see, because of a formidable
heiress staying at his house at present,
to whom his folks are trying to marry
him. He told me all about it."
"Dick," shy arms went creeping
round his neck, and blue eyes grew
luminous through their tears, "I'm
never even going to be jealous again.
I I'm not going to ask you where you
were to-night," with triumphant hero
ism, underlaid by a stratum of madden
ing curiosity.
"My pet, I was just going to tell
you, but these will speak better than I
can. You see I had not quite forgot
ten what to-mpr row was."
He had drawn a leathern case from
his pocket, and touching a spring dis
closed a set and necklet of milk-white
pearls on turqnoi3e-velvet bed.
"Oh h, Dick!"
A long-drawn breath, a rapturous
lighting of blue eyes, a lifting of rosy
lips, and then well, when she got
through Dick thought himself repaid.
"Won't there be fun at the office to
morrow. Jealous of Dick Harvey ! But,
by Jupiter, what a reception I got! Oh,
o h! Dolly, Dolly, it's the best joke
on record."
And Dolly joined him j merrily; for,
after all, is not the sweetest laughter
that which springs from tear. ?
In the Jonsfrau'g (Shadow. ..;
The most glorious sight I have ever
seen was one evening at Interlaken,
when, jut as the last rays of the set
ting sun had left the valley, the Swiss
laxly with whom I was chaffering about
wood carvings exclaimed: "Look! look
at Jungfrau !M I looked at Jungfrauw
She stood transfigured against the clear
blue sky; her white mantle illuminated
from summit to base with such a flood
of translucent, rosy splendor, a3 the
imagination cannot paint if the eye has
not seen it, and words are inadequate to
describe. The glorious spectacle lasted
for perhaps ten or fifteen minutes, when
the gray shadow of evening crept
slowly up the mountain side, and the
dying light rested like a blush upon
her cheek and forehead, and then van
ished in the twilight. It is not often
that the atmospheric conditions permit
J ungfrau to present herself in Jhis
superb costume. r
I suppose you are tired of Jungfrau.
If I could be tired of mountains I ought
to be fatigued with the constant recur
rence of the samo peaks wherever I
have been for the last two weeks, For
it is a strange peculiarity of the bigger
mountains that they seem to follow you
in whatever direction you travel to
skip and caper like a troop ; of frisky
Brobdingnagian maidens in revolving
circles about you peeping coyly now
over the shoulders of their nearer
neighbors now through ; the gaps
or around the corners of the huge
walls which hide them, or confronting
you at j full length through the
broad openings of some valley; but al
ways hovering about you as if - they
knew you liked their company and did
not want to part with you. The far
ther you go away from them the nearer
they come to you. They haunt you like
gigantic ghosts in their white ishrouds,
reappearing when you least expect them
and vanishing with tantalizing capri
ciousncss just as yon don't want them to
do it. The illusion is partly an optical
one and partly the result of the bewil
deringly tortuous and circuiteus routes
one is obliged to take in this mountain
ous country.
Total Abstinence.
It was some time ago when an effort
was being made to induce the children
,to sign the total abstinence pledge. On
the way from the hall a little girl,
evidently profoundly impressed with
the sweeping character of the pledge
she had taken, was heard to ask,
"Mamma, can I chow gum r ?"
