English novelties in speech and dross. .
and. possessed no standard of crlticisn
except that of fashion. Ho was quite
handsome in an unobtrusive way , thougl
his forehead was a little too narrow anc
his chin a little too long for absolute sym
motry. He considered himself as a groa
catch , and revelled in the fact that socle

opinion. Ho had a prospective incomi
of some forty to fifty thousand a year
chiefly invested in real estate. For twi
years ho had been assiduous in his atten

without reflecting seriously on the sub

had thought of it as a remote possibility
that some day she might consent to become

had no desire to precipitate mat

mind , however , that if Bho bacamo Mra ,

of his English aifec'ations , and make hin
desist jrom all reference to hia "tub
bings. " lomo of hia college anecdotes
too , she thought In bad taste , and enl ;
to bo excused on the ground that a mai
with fifty thousand a year Is apt to losi
the faculty of solf-crltlciim. It was per
hapa with a view to stimulating this use
fal but disagreeable exorcls
that she accepted with such decided

from divining such an Intention ; h <
thought , on the contrary , that 0 tharlm
had baon vexed by the tall , shagg ]
German , and that a a llttlo amusomen
at his own expense would be the bes
antidote.
"I .should think , Miss Oitharlno , " 'h <
continued complacently , "that if yoi

you might first have put It in the hand
of a a trainer. This ono seemed yet tc

hard to tolerate the presence of such a

"Appearances nro quite deceptive ,

( laiuiorous light iu her eyes. "Mr. Grei

Mr. Romilly had jumped tip , in spite c

frankness that she had employed in shield
ing herself against Greifonstett's uncoil
qticrablo candor. She could scarcely ex
plain it to herself , but Romilly'a displens
uro ( which formerly would have ruftlei
her considerably ) Deemed at preseu
rather amusing than formidable
Uo seemed to have undergone sonn
queer transformation , and his social itn
[ wrtanco , which had formerly imparted ti
him a certain dignity , had become a mat
ter of 110 moment. Ho seemed to become
como dimly aware that the wind wa
blowing from an unpropitious iniartcram
lie made haste to bow .himself out before
lie had actually lost his temper. Ho hai
never been so maltreated in all his life
and ho trembled under a sense of outragi
which slowly imbedded itself in his sou
like some restless , burrowing insect. Hi
waa one of those men who giow angry bj
degrees , and reach white heat after houn
of indignant reflection. All sorts of deliciously -
liciously cutting things that ho might havi
said kept occurring to him , and if it luw
not been HO ridiculous he would have gem
hack and said them. He was keenly con
scions , however , of the fact that Catharini
liad never looked so radiantly lovely a1
tlio did to-day , and ho * ; now that
in case ho should feel tempted t <
unload the quiver of his sarcasms , he :
beauty would probably disarm him. Then
Avas an animation in her face and gestuii
which ho had never witnessed thcro bcfon
is if the musicsomehowhadlentits'i-hythn
to her pulses and mixed some stiriinj
notes into the cadence of her voice. H i :
vaguely patronizing feeling towa'd ho
vanished' and odd as it may seem , her in
difference made her supremely desirable
Instead of boasting of his anonymous con
meats ( which had been ono of llomilly' !
'avorito diversions at his club ) ho took iq
a copy of the North American Review fo :
; he purpose of improving himself intellect
tally bo as to be a match for her at theii
lext meeting. Since she had taken r
ancy to that sort of thing , why , ho wouh
show her that he was the man to beat ho :
on her own ground.

A gentleman connected with the West

night the details of a little plot whlci
waa half formed to lynch Holdt. Th (
gentleman referred to was passing
through Columbus , when he overheard
the details as related by two men on , the
train. It appears that while al

talking about the train wrecking afltkir ,
and before long a schema was laid tc
awing the wretch to the nearest tree , ir
