HanL "Lil you think I failed, tp remark it just now, when, as your sj'cuce ff li oil the little one there, a frouu cucnped your lipH? And you have shown by many other Higns that something id troubling you." "Oh, Tom." she ori..-l suddenly, 1. an- ing forward and hiding h.-r faco on his 1 tthonhlera. "You will not pp-;ik so kind ly when you know thy truth. Vet 1 mint tell you my my husband. Voti have lH.enBo kind and gentle tijat I can not deceive you any fc.nger, but try. Tom" pleadingly "not to be very im exy with me." There is no fear of that," said Tom encouragingly. "Come, little woman, let us have the murder out." "Ah. you do not know what it is," febe went on in remorr fill t.n j, "else yu'i would not treat it ho lightly. Oh, Tom, Tom, 1 1 Iihvo lo.-t all my fortune." "How did you manage that?" he asked quietly. 'You may well put Bnch a question," he continued in a v i-e hrnken by fri quent nobs. "Yo'i may well fail to un derstand my folly and madness. Oh. Tom. Tom. although 1 used to Bet you at defiance in the matter of gambling, yet -onr ojen remonstrance and bilent li.approva in time began to vex my im patient heart. And when I discovered a secret gambling club, where I could indulge my insatiable passion without j your know! dge, I at once, l-grm to fre quent it. The, ga:n as roulette the' one of all others in thich 1 had always I longed to join. I gave myself Up to its fascination, and staking wildly incurred i heavy losses day after day. Then, my fortune rapidly diminished, and timj . went on. an 1 tl loiights of the little one whom I was soon to bear were brought ' homo to ?ne, a chord of motherly feeling ' was touched within me. and 1 hated niv- self for my wicked folly in having robbed my child. "1 vow'd 1 would win 1. 1,- k r.ll that 1 had lost, anil with that intention (fur my strange gambler's craving was som lu-.v dying away) st ik d heavily at the tables. Hut my endeavor was nothing else than throwing good money after ;:l. 1 l..st lost lost until my w hole fortune was gone. Do not" very piteously "do not f repronch me. Tom. .My own heart is i proaching me already. ah:io.-t more than I can bear." "My darling," lie replied, "I have no thought of reproaching you. If 1 had meant to do that 1 should have done it before this, for 1 have known all about it a long while." "You have known all about it a long while!" she cried, raising her tearful eyes wonderingly to his. "Oh. Tom how did you find out?" "Very easily, my pet," he answered, kissing her forehead, "seeing that the founder and proprietor of the gambling club where you lost your money is no other than myself!" i She regarded him in speechless amaze- ; inent. lie went on to explaiu himself further: "Yes. It is quite true. When I found that advice and remonstrance were 1 Jst on you, my dear, 1 had to look about for another method of Raving you from the ; effects of your folly. And the starting ' of that private gambling club was the ' inetbod which occurred to me. It took ! some working out of details and the em- : ployment of a good bit of capital to get the thing properly afloat. But 1 enlisted j the services of a competent agent, whom ; I paid well, and nndertook to indemnify in case the club were found out by the ; police. It had not been discovered, nor , now ever will be: for, its object having ! been gained, the establishment is finally closed. Tiiere, Ada, that is enough, j enable you to grasp the truth. But tell me are you suiiy to learn that all the i money which you lost has passed back ! into my hands?" ; 'Sorry!" she ejaculated, raisin i-.ti in ue ami wreatiiin, ner arms rouna ms i neck in a joj-fal, fond embrace. ""Oh. j Tom, how kind and j?tod and clever j'ou j are! 1 can never love or thank you J enough." j Tom Partington gave the most con- ; vincing proof that he could have given ! of his belief in the sinceritv of his wife's , - . , I , , t repentance. He handed back to her the ' vite, every one to come and ex--whole of her money without condition i amine our stock and prices.Who are or rcser'atioii, and he has never had ! cause to regret it. Iloston Courier. Tlie Sparrniv. For the common house sparrow, as distinguished from the so called hedge sparrow and the tree sparrow, noth ing can lie urged in its favor. De stroy thera utterly is my advice, and 1 have reason to think that Miss Onuerod has come to the same conclusion. Expe rience has shown that their ill advised I importation into Australia and North America has wrought incalculable harm to cultivated vegetation. The bird is a grain and vegetable feeder for at least three-fourths of the year, seeking insects only when leaf buds and cereals are not available for food. Sparrow clubs should be encouraged in every village in order to check the undue increase of the species, which, by the by, breeds at least three times in the year. In connection with these sparow if i c iiitit.v1iMf- piirl-n tri tii-it-f flint the authorities in some Euglish country ' parishes have from time immemorial I paid the village lads at the rate of f our a penny for killing these birds, and have, moreover, purchased eggs. And some kind of sparrow seems to have leen con sidered destructive in Syria in ancient days, for we are er.pressly told that "two sparrows were solVor a fartlung." Mac millan's Magazine. I'riur? Nswti'oii' Ambition. Long notices of Prince Napoleon have appeared in all the papers, but, oddly nough, not a single journal has men tioned the fact that early in 1R5-4 he was a suitor for the hand of the amiable lady who is now known as the Duchess of Teck. The projiosed match was recom mended by the king of the Belgians, and Lord Paltnerstop was strongly in favor of it, but Princess Mary would not hear of it for a moment, and the queen was very angry when Lord Palmerston ob served that at least Prince Napoleon was . a much better match than any small VaLienaan princ.
