Out of the window of the old wooden bridge, whose hooded tunnel threw a dark bar across the moonlit mountain stream, a man and a woman stood look ing into the pine-clad amphitheater of the cliffs, which lay in stillness be neath the upell of a September night 'Hie black hollow of the bridge, with its one moonbeam sharp across the floor, contrasted with the awful splendor of the granite gorge, buttressed and pinnacled in every rising tier, under t Ik; floor of ghostly light, and if the only ol.jVrt of tho" coiil in coming Iicri' was to s-e tin; view they were rt!iil1y r-j:iM.

The imminence of the climac teric which she knew to be threatening l.ini was not to be read from his figure. His step was alert, his checks were bronzed, his tables were rational, and what mre could he desire? She pushed back her dark hair under its somewhat youthful cap. and, lean ing her elbows on the ledge, gazed, without speaking, at the haunted de lile. Kinnaii-I gave a little laugh be hind her. "M.rgarei." he said, "upon r.iy word, it .-eeius a if we were boy and girl again." -Why.particularly ? she asked, with out turning her head. "Oh, all this slimmer, " he replied. She didn't ak him to be more explicit. It is ce: tain'.;, an i leal place," she .-aid. with a half sigh. "Yet it is foolish to say that the beauties of nature re store one's youth. One may feel young ?gain. but one is not really any the lv.-s iispaiouaie." "I am :iot so sure of that," said Kin naird. "1 should like to argue the point with yon -il" ii could be argued."

"You still believe uie capable of as much mistaken self-control as I once was. And," he added calmly, "I don't wonder." ' Though there was no bitterness ap parent in his lone. Mrs. Hugonin was .startled. "Keally. this is unlike you, Arthur." she ai !. gravely, but yet with a sense of amusement. You petulant with the pa-t? You provoked with your recollections? Indeed, I have mistaken you." He laughed, but gently.

And when we reached the ravine you insisted on going first, and I let you. Now I did that because I reflected that if you fell I could catch you." "Well?" "You see. that was my first mistake. I tdiould have gone tirst, and made you dins' to my pardon mo coat tails." ery likely," said Mrs. Hugonin. half laughing. "Hut I can't think it does us any good to talk it over now." "After that," aid Kinnaird, pursu ing his subject, "I acted consistently on the same mistaken theory. And when it came to the question of giving you up, I thought always of you first. That was why I gave you up which you naturally considered a weakness." It did not escape Mrs. Hugonin that a dormant weakness of her own was reviving under the continued stress of this absurd conversation a weakness for sentiment. But it was checked by her vexation with her friend for break ing their tacit understanding and by the feeling of half contemptuous pity that stole over her as he spoke. Were she a man, she thought, she would never confess at 40 to the in competence of 25. That Kinnaird did so but absolved her again. Also, she reflected, she had had a headache yesterday, and, therefore, it was very lucky this conversation had not been started yesterday or she would have been much mure provoked than she was now. "I shall not stop you," she said, in a half mischievous tone. "(Jo on I won't bo angry. You will perhaps ad mit that if there is anything rankling it is as well for you to abue me and have it over, even after all these years, whose obituaries you have written." "My dear, wiy darling." h said, his strong hand clasping ir.-rs so juiekly that involuntarily h;r arm struggled like a bird's wing to wrest iisi ll' away, "it is wcil tor me to tell .tiif only woman lever loved that I love her still and do not mean let hor go again." "Arthur." "Margaret. I love you more than ever." "It is impossible!" "I love you." "You can not. can not be in earnest," she stammered. "Wiiv, vou have never told me." "Never until now." he laughed." I learned something when I lost you the tirt time my darling." "This," said Mrs. Hugonin, partially recovering herself, "is folly. Arthur. And it is most unfair." "Unfair," he said, "to want you for my wile. ;o,you mean unfair to take vou oft" your guard. I will not uib- Ie with vour words, he said, smiling. "May the hour and the scene suggest to vou all that thev will. Mav they bring vou back to it was twenty that you were when; it all hamencd Margaret, when you wen twenty-six I went away from the citv of all my hopes, but before 1 turned mv back on it I did as many a refugee had done in-fore me I sealed up my treasures, hid them, and my store is where I left it. That is why I want vou to marry me. All that 1 had looked forward to telling you when you were twenty all that I had to say to you, the secret hoard that 1 had been piling up for our married life, is mtact, and now 1 want you to share it with me." He paused a moment and then went on: "My dear, I have 9imply had to wait, that is all. But, please heaven, we will begin again." Poor Mrs. Hugonin 's breath came and went, an unwilling messenger of passion or, it might be, of sentiment. "Perhaps I was in the wrong." she said. "But why did not you think more of yourself.-'" . "I am thinking of myself now," said Kinnaird. Suddenly.as Mrs. Hugonin hung dis tracted and in doubt, the cliff before them rang faint and sibylline with an echo. It was the town clock of the village striking over beyond the trees; they could not hear it, "but sent from ledge to ledge in the still night air it struck silvery And remote on the granite facade. . As it sounded they both started, he at its elfin suggestions, she at its material reminder. "Oood gracious!" she exclaimed, "it is 11 o'clock!" "It is," said Kinnaird. "And we must positively go back to the hotel at once. We are a scandal, Arthur ami you know it.for I saw you start, too." She began to smile. "Do you see nothing in the augury?" she asked. "The augury?" "We are two old fools." she said. "Think of my boy in his bed. Arthur. Think of my" 30 years be quiet, if you please, i choose to be JO for formal ity's sake. It is only the night and the moonlight. When 1 1 o'clock strikes we recollect that we ought to be re spectably at home. It is only an echo.

But. you are eon tented now and. w luvt is more, you are kind and strong it i Hotter as it is. Take me back to the hotel and we shall ljeware of echoes in the future." "I thought you said you had grown old." said Kinnaird. "It is only youth that refuses the echo." And he' took her in his arms and kissed her. l'luhi'li-1 'thin Tiims.

"The oyster is tho lowest species of animal life." said the lie v. I. L. Thomas, pastor of Centennial Colored Methodist church, in his sermon to oyster shockers recently, "but it can be shown that it is a fair representa tive of man, and that in every part ol the oyster shucker's profession he is shown the way to the Lord. Now the shucker don'i have anything to do with the oyster until it is put into his box. but before it gets there it must be caught. It seems strange to say that the oyster must be caught, but when we examine the beds in the ocean, bay ami river, we see the neces sity of providing means to catch it. It cannot be caught with the honk and line, so other means have been in vented, some of which have been very successful. Just so with a man. He has to be caught, and no one but the Lord is prepared to catch him up out of the bed of sin. The oyster tomes to the shncker in a shucking box. Now the shucker's box represents the Church of God, and the man is caught out of the sea of death and pitched in to the box prepared for him, just like the oyster. "The hammer represents the word of (iod, and just as the shucker ham mers on the oyster to make it open its shell, so the word of God strikes mighty blows on man's heart until it opens a little bit, so that the Holy Spirit, represented by the knife, can get in. "Just like the shucker's knife gets in and touches the heart of the oyster and throws otT the shell does the Holy Spirit touch man's heart and throw off the shell of worldliness. After the shell is oft the oyster is chucked into a pot, which represents the visible church of God, "Mow the shucker has three pots one for small, another for large, and another for extra large oysters. The little pot. represents faith, which is the first thing a man gets after the knife of the Holy Spirit touches his heart. The next pot is hope, winch always comes when faith springs up in a man's breast, and the last pot the extra large one is love and charity, which tills the man's heart as he goes on to perfection. "Then come tho skimmer and t lie water. These represent the cleansing power of Jesus' blood. The oysters are put on the skimmer and the water is poured over them to wash oil little pieces of shell and any other impuri ties. So is the water of' life poured over man by God. ami all the impuri ties are washed away until he is white as snow. "Next, the quantity the shucker shucks represents justice. If there is anything a shucker wants more than another it is justice. He wants to know that he gets paid for all he shucks, and that he isn't shucking in a measure with a false bottom, that moves down when the oysters are put in and moves up when they come out. "In all shucking houses is a big blackboard on which the numbers of all the shuckeis are placed. This rep resents the Book of Life, on which names are recorded in Heaven. For every gallon of oysters a man shucks his jK'g is moved up a hole, and unless that peg moves the man has no claim on the firm, but the more he shucks the further his peg moves and the big ger his claim. So, if a man hasn't re corded his name in Heaven and won't do good works he has no claim on Heaven. If he does much he will get much; if he does little his reward will be little. "The canning process represents per fection. When an oyster is put in the can and sealed up all has been done to it that is necessary to be done. So when a man has done what the Lord wanted him to do he has reached per fection. "Next comes the express. What would it avail an oyster if it stopped where it was after being canned? I tell you the iirm would feel mighty blue if all the oysters canned stayed in the factory. Shipping the oysters represents the express train or the life boat for heaven, which is death. When the oyster reaches perfection it's got to move, and so does a man. The per son to whom the canned oysters are sent represents the rightful claim of Jesus Christ, who stauds on the other side of the river to look at the boats as they go by to see if there's anything on board for Him. If the man bears the mark of the Lord on his forehead, then the Lord cries, 'He's mine, he's mine!' and takes him ashore and into the wonderful citv." Baltimore Sun. Practical Saying.
