I don’t nlnd for my own sake- a man can look after himself—but I’m thinking of you. I was In hopes that you had not heard.” "Not heard, indeed! I had two let ters this morning, and three this after noon; four wanting to know when the wedding was to be, and a fifth from a girl asking to be bridesmaid. I am afraid to go out. People fly at me at every corner, shake my hand off and ;ay how delighted they arc and how (harming It is and how they always .(new it would come to this, and that we are made for one another they never did know two people so exactly suited," "Extraordinary! That’s what they -ay to me. I never was so taken aback !n my life. Of course, we’ve always been good frlem out "Certainly not.” "And 1 don’t think—” "Neither do I. It’s absurd!

We have been a good deal together, of course, because we are In the same sot, ■•.ml always seem to hit it off, and you are such a Jolly good dancer, and hII that kind of thing, but I can’t see whut we have done to set people talking at this rate, Honestly, now I am anxious to know did you ever Imagine that Is ... ...... /ii.i vaii think ( rni'im hnv«* I ever—” "You never have! No, Captain May and 1 have never Imagined! On the contrary, I don’t mind admitting, now that we are upon the subject, that I have cherished a secret grudge against you because' you have never given me an opportunity of refusing you. 1 hat sort of neglect rankled In a woman's mind and now you see for yourself the awkward position in which It has placed me. When people ask If 1 am engaged to you I am obliged to confess that I have never been asked. You ought to have thought of this and pro vided against It. It would have been so easy some night at a hall,or In an In ;erval at the theater the whole thing might have been over In five minutes, and then I should have been able to say that I had refused you, and every thing would have been happy and com fortable. 1 don’t feel as If I could ever forgive you!" "Sorry. Indeed! You see I should have been most happy, only I could never feel quite sure that you really would re—” "How odious you are! You need not have been afraid; there never was any thing more certain since the beginning of the world. I wouldn't marry you to save your life! I would as soon think of falling in love with the man in the moon! We have always been friends, of course, but that counts for nothing. One may like a person very much, and yet find It quite Impossible to go any further. I could better love a horse man!” "Same with me! I think no end of you, but when Lewis came and congrat ulated me the other day I was struck all of a heap. If he had said the same thing about a dozen other girls I should have been less surprised, but It never occurred to me to look upon you In that light.” •'DON'T CONTRADICT!" "O. Indeed! I'm awfully obliged, I'm sure, but 1 don't think much of your taste. There are a dozen other men who wouldn't agree with you. that'a one comfort. Am I so utterly repulsive In your eyes. I think I had better say Wood afternoon' at once, aud relieve you of uy presence." "What nonsense you 'ath! 1 never Mid a word about your apc*arance that I know of That's tb« worst of arguing with a woman she Hiss of at a tangent and there a no doing any good with her. 1 don't see why you should be *#• i fended, You seem to thinh It lust as ituposelble to fall ta lavs with me."

I feel the j same toward you because you will in- i alst on wearing enormous stand-up col lars. I call that a want of perception, if you like! I wouldn't be personal for the world, but I have seen men with longer necks. When you want to speak to your neighbor yon have to twist your whole body. It makes me die with laughing to see you." "Delighted to afford you so much amusement. Sorry I make myself so ridiculous! You are excessively polite, I’m sure!” "You were a great deal worse your self. You said that I—” “Nothing of the kind! You misun derstood me. I simply remarked—’’ "Don’t contradict! You said I was an ugly thing, and that it exasperated you only to see me. You did! It makes It worse to deny It. I can't think how you can look me In the face!” "Why get excited? It’s really not worth while, and you will make your self hot. It’s not becoming to be hot. I was about to say, when you so rudely Interrupted me, that you had misunder stood the meaning of my remarks. I simply observed “I don't care a little bit what you observed. I'm not going to talk to you any longer. (Jood afternoon, Cap tain May. You needn't dance with me at IjBdy Holton's this evening, as my "I shall ask Miss Cunliffe Instead. She Is a capital waltzcr.

It never occurred to him to think of her In that light. Hateful creature! And why not, 1 should like to know?

"I meant to be offended, but perhaps the other would have more effect. I believe I’ll try It. No one can ever say that I am a flirt, but there are occa sions when It Is a girl’s duty to teach a man a lesson, and be bad no business to say that about my hair. • • • I wonder If he was right? He has awfully good taste, as a rule. "I believe after all, It would be rather becoming. • • • i'll get Elsie to try tonight, and wear my new white dress, and the pearls, and I’ll say to him the very first thing that I’m sorry, and ask him to dance with me all the same. Then, when he sees how nice I am be will be vexed with himself for being so nasty. It will do him no end of good. "I'd give worlds If he would only pro pose to me before the season Is over! I’d refuse him, of course, but that wouldn’t matter; ft would be kind of me to take the troubte, because It Is dreadful to see a man so conceited, and, If it were not for that, he would be quite charm ing. • * « ni begin this evening. How exciting! Boor Captain May!” “She looked disgracefully pretty! Nothing like putting a girl In a good stand-up rage to see what she’s made | of. I never knew she had so much In her before. And she would just as soon think of falling in love with the man In the moon, would she? That’s pretty tall! Hang It all! Why do they put things in a fellow’s head? I was happy enough before, and now this has un settled me altogether. • • • A man may not want to marry a girl, but that’s no reason why she should be so precious indifferent. “I always fancied that she had a de cided weakness. • • • So she wants to laugh at me. does she?

Photographing Thought li Said to Ito An ArrninpU*h«<l Kart, It may be rash to announce that any thing Is beyond the photographer's art, write* the i'arls correspondent of the l»ndon Standard, but the communlea- ! tlon Just made to the Paris Academic I le Medicine by Dr. Ilaraduc Is bo us- : onlshlng that If be had made It before Dr, Roentgen had rendered his dlscov »ry public, very few people would have been Inclined even to Inquire Into the (natter. Indeed, Dr, Ilaraduc affirms lhat he had succeeded In photograph ing thought and he has shown numer als photographs In proof of his asser tion. His usual method of proceeding Is simple enough. The person whose Ihought Is to be photographed enters a dark room, places his hand on a photographic plate and thinks Intent ly of the object the Image of which he wishes to see produced. It Is stated by those who have examined Dr. Bara rlue's photographs lhat most of them are very cloudy, but that a few are comparatively distinct, representing the features of persons and the out lines of things. Dr. Ilaraduc goes fur ther and declares that It Is possible to produce a photographic Image at a great distance. In his communication to the Acade mic de Medicine he relates that Dr. Ii trate, when he was going to Cam piiua. declared he would appear on a photographic plate of his friend, M. Hasd< n, at Bucharest. On the 4th of August, D93, M. Hasden, at Bucharest, went to la d with a ((holographic plate at his feet and another at his head. Dr. IttreW went, to sleep at Cantpana, Ml a oisihnr** or aoour rim knomciei•< from Bucharest, I ut before eloslng Ills eyes he willed with all his might (hat his image should appear on the photo graphic plate of his friend. According to I>». Barnduc that marvel wus accom plished. Journalists who have exam ined the photograph In (|ticstlon state that It consists of n kind of luminous spot on the photographic piste, In the midst of which can he traced the pro file of a man.

The "Bchatchens’' of Ixmdon society are adding their wall to that sent up against thi bicycles by tailors, theater managers, publishers of dime novel* and others, A paragraph In the Graph ic. signed "Marmatiukc,” says that "the mothers of marriageable daughters hav« to struggle with a new and very serious difficulty. They cannot Induce young men to attend their evening iar tks. And the bicycle is responsible for It. At one great house a few days ago, we are told, only six men put In | appearance, and the women were com polled to dance with each other. "Other causes are assigned for this melancholy state of things. It Is said that nearly all the west end young men work in the city. But that would not prevent them from dancing if they did not spend their leisure hours on the wheel. The truth Is that cycling Is at the bottom of the mischief, and the only chance for mothers who wish to gel their daughters off their hands ap pears to he to allow I hern to partake j of the delights of ‘‘a bicycle made for two.” Ilnw Awkward It Will He in IOOWI , Did you ever think of It?
