The caretaker at 19 Westphalia ter- raoe leaned on the broom which she had brought up to help., her to answer the door and looked at me witn msravor. "Do you think the landlord knows?' No answer. I took out half a crown. "Look here!" I said, "this coin shall ba toots if you'll tell me how long you've been here, who-the landlord is, and anything you may have heard from the tradespeople about the family." "I never eossip with tradesfolk nor nobody," was her inspiriting reply, but .

You don't know it all, if you do think you know everything. The Albany Telescope has re cently copied articles from this paper and credited them to the Ad vance. We wouldn't care if thoy stole .them outright, but would much prefer not to have them cred ited to a populist paper, anyhow. We always supposed that the editor of the Telescope "indulged" quite frequ'entlv, but not till lately did we consider him so depraved as the abovo mentioned editorial prac- - tice of. hie noaU indicate. ' These are dark days for orthodox theology. On every hand there are lefcctions from the ranks of the straight-laced believers, and liber alism is taking the place of dog- mtin .theoloev among laymen in colleges and in the pulpits. Pro- fessor Howiuon, of the University - of California, recently has denied his belief in the immaculate con ceptlon and expressly asserted that "no intelligent -man believes doc . t.;.,u l,'ause they are in the - bible." Now President Harper of the great Baptist utuvarsity in Chicago is said to have expressed !,! ihlief in certain bible storiee accepted as true by the orthodox.

I knew not a single one of her mends. I knew she had some few relations her mother's family and I did not even know their name. The Vanes knew no one in Kensington, and they only knew me through our cat having fortunately been killed by their dog. But I was poor then, and poverty is proud. The Vanes' house, dress and mode of life betokened wealth. I could not tell her I loved her, and now The charwoman opened the door again and put out her curl papered head to ay: "There was a funeral afore the sale; perhaps they'd tell you at the under takers. A funeral! I hailed a passing hansom and drove straight to way s Inn. Yes. Mr. Vane unfortunately died at one of our houses 10 Westphalia ter- race. Left no estate; had systematically overshot his income. Sorry I can't give you any further information. Not a dew. The tradesmen knewnota- ing, the vicar knew nothing, the police of coarse knew nothing and did nothing but pocket my money and take down things in notebooks with blunt pencils. Advertisement failed absolutely. And so Clara Vane was lost to me passed out cf my life completely leav ing me with a really respectable fortune, which it was entirely out of the ques tion for me to enjoy. I did see her again. I did, but not for four years four long years. I won't go so far as to say that an hour never passed in which I did not think of her, but I'll swear ,tliat two never did. And I loved her more than ever. Well, after four years of this life I had my own work to do and my other life to live, but that has nothing to do with this story after four years busi ness took me to Tunbridge. I went by an express train, I bought the papers and got a comfortable comer in a first class carriage, where I let the papers lie on my knee and dreamed my nana! dreams uara, Uara, uara. Aa we swept into Ealstead station I looked out, with a torpid curiosity as to the gardens, and saw daral Whiiz ez wbirrl The train had shot past the station, the carriage win dows rattled, the train vibrated and pulsated with the increasing speed, and very pulse sad every vibration was car rying me away from my heart's heart, In a flash I saw that if I went on to Sevenoaks and got a train back she, who was obviously waiting for the next up train, would have left the station long before I reached it. Probably she was only spending the day at Ualstead, and toy March tor to there Would btf uj Ibroli',heglaas and polled the han dle. The train slackened, and as it stopped the guard put his head in at my oarrisf jewiudow, "Why, you're all right," he siiid, "bkjst if I didn't think yon was dead wb en I beard that bell. It's a wonder it la iconnected. Just my luck, too, and us If i minutes behind already. What did Terdolt for.ehT "I stopped the train because I am go ing to get out," I said firmly. , , -.

Oar hands touched. Great is the currency, and it will prevail. The next minute I was speeding back along the down line to ward Ealstead station. My breatb came fast and with difficulty. My knees anhed furiously, but I ran on. I could hear distinctly the rumble of the train in the tunnel behind me. If the main line up won, it would bear her away on its bosom.

But of course I landed on the down platform. I flow up the steps and over the bridge I reached the up platform breathless, hatless, but radiant. Clara was just getting into a first clast carriage. - I stumbled in after her and sank pant ing in the corner. She, seated at the far window, did not turn her eyes on me till the slow throb of the train betokened de parture. Then Bhe looltea r. her reuow traveler nd blanched. V" ' alone in the car riage, and I fe:;r I had a lunatlo air, Then she recognized me. Her face flush ed, and she said: "Oh, your with a delightful lighten- ing of eyes and brow and a dimpling at the corner of the mouth. 'I had," I exclaimed pantingly, "to run to catch the train!" "I suppose so," she said, leaning back in her comer and smiling. . "It wasn't very wise to give yourself so little time to do it in. Where have yon sprung from? Have you friends down herer "I have sprung," I said, beginning to recover myself, "from the main line down, and am subject to a penalty not exceeding 5 for availing myself of the electrio communication and stopping that tram." "Why did you stop it, if one may ask.7" "You may ask, though the guard did not. I stopped the train because I have been looking for you for four years, and I saw you on that platform. I wonld have stopped a tiger or the march of civilization on the same grounds.'' I mopped my forehead furtively before proceeding. I nave been looking for you for lorn years,' 1 said, "to asa you to marry me. Dear, I never have even thought of mar rying any one else, and I have been look ing for you all this time." ': My flippancy, born of nervousness, was deserting me. I leaned forward earnestly, "Oh, how good it is to see your dear face againl" I said. "This pays for all It is"- "Stop!" she interrupted, still looking down. "I suppose you don't know I was married three years ago to General Peg. lar!" "Married!" I sank back sick at heart, The train stopped and a copy of The Fi nancial News got in, with a gentleman completely buried in it. That was an awful journey. I sat up very straight and asked questions about roses and the people who lived at Hal stead and the prospects of the hops and many other things about which I did not want to bear, and Mrs. Peglar an swered me. And The Financial News and its occu pant sat opposite to me, At Charing Cross, as I handed her out, she said in a voice that was not very steady: "Won't you come and see me some times? I live at the Bed House, Hal stead." "No," I said, "that would be too much. I hope I shall never see you again, woodby, my sharp disappoint ment lending a vinegary flavor to my voice. "Your mother, I trust, is well?' She did not answer, and I blundered on; , "I regret to see that you are in slight mourning. Not, I trust" "No, no, nor she cried vehemently, "Mamma, at least, ia left to me. She doesn't hate me because I tried to do the best for her when she was left penniless. She knows I thought I ought to marry General Peglar. She knows how I cried and cried and wondered why you where you" Clara stopped short. "Goodby," she said and walked down the platform. "I'm not in mourning for my darling mamma, thank God! It's for General Peglar, of course." We went down into Charing Cross garden, where the children and the spar rows play and sat there in the sunshine, hand in hand. Philadelphia Uall. "Is. Your -Name Written There?' s Writton where?
