But love is whispering to-day Alons the paths we yet shall tread. . " . "Be kind to her.!' .. -F. W. lluit, in New Vork licrali HIS CHANCE. She was for some time as certain atnd as wrong about her feelings for him, as she was assured and right in her assurance of hia lore for her. As fbr herself, she considered her self merely his friend, confidante and adviser-general upon ail subjects, but especially upon the subject of the neglect of his profession the law. Had he not been so desperately in love with her he might hare laughed at this grandmothering of him, as ho laughed at most things; for, though the kindest-hearted man perhaps in London, he affected a light, bl'igbi; bveezy cynicism. "Arc you going down to Ribches ter?r' she asked, with abrupt irrele vance. "Ribchcstcr? Has an expedition been organized to cxplora darkest Ribchetcr?'' To tho a;-sizes," hho explained, without a smile, but with almost pet ulant impatience. "t? Ifo. It would be bo iifed ley going. I've goi nothing to do." But how can you expect to get anything if you nerer go to circuit?'1 I shall go down to-morrow night," he said meekly. MH uoes seem such a pity with your ability and industry when you chooee to be industrious " Here he shook his head. Oh, but I know. Mrs. Meltham told rae how you eat up night after hight doing her husband's prcsswork when he was ill of typhoid. Well, you sco, when you'ro a motive to drudge you can drudge." I cannot tell you how kind I think it of you to pitch into me like tbis,' 'IVs hot much usfe." -Yes, it is; indeed it is. 1 snail grJ 'down to rtihehester to-morrow night, and shall go circuit always in future and I shall drudge it like a dray horse, ir drudging yHl do ii. ,1 sriall; I b-ivS you my word bl honor. ' This new expression of earnestness gave a new beauty to his fine face, and it was in her looking up into it now that Trix made her discovery. She blushed, lowered her eyes under his insupportable gaze and said only and humblv, "I hare been rcry Im pertinent. ,T "Impertinent! You do not know how mtich your interest means to me. t"m always thinking of wjint you think of me, and wishing to be what you wish me; and I believe I could bo and do it all, if if I had any hope, Trix," ho said, taking her hand, and looking his "hope" into the oyes which answered to it. Thore's father," she faintly urged, but thr soon forgot everything and every one and time and place and cir cumstances, and all but each other and their love. The last thing sho said to him at parting wa6: "Don't go down to Ribchester. I shall write to-morrow after I have told father, to let you know what he says and if I can see you." Next morning at breakfast Trix in geniously brought the conversation round to Bertia. "Every one says he is so clever," she replied to a dispar aging remark upon him made by her father. Every one! Did you over hear a solicitor say it?" "But, my dear father, how can solicitors know whether he is ctever or not till they try till they give him a brief?" "Let him marry a solicitor's daugh ter," pronounced her father, senten tious ly. "But he can't." "He can't. Why can't he? I'm sure " "Because he's engaged to me," .-he replied, with sublime audacity, rising at the same moment to get behind her father's chair and hide and cool her burning blushes against his parchment cheek. He had dropped his kuife and fork and lain back speechless in his chair before she got behind it. "There, you dear old father, don't be eros. I couldn't help telling you, you know. I can keep nothing from you."" as though the confession was the offenbe. "Engaged!" he burst out at last. "Engaged to a fellow without a pen ny or a prospect of making a penny. A mere man about town. An idle " "There, father; that will do," sho said, putting her hand beforo his mouth. "I don't want you to feel miserable afterward for saying hasty and nasty things." "But I don't and won't give my consent," ho said, checking his laugh", and so to say, retracting it by speak ing very doggedly. "Oh, yes. you will, when the solic itors offer him briefs without even their daughters," she said, coaxingly. while she swayed her father back and forward in his chair. "There it is! That's it! If he only took his profession seriously, or could get any one in the profession to take him seriously! You might wait, Trix, to meet some one with some promise or prospect of something.", "That's jubt what I mean to do. father. I told Bertie last night I would marry no man who hadn't dis tinguished himself." "Oh, well, that settles it," her father answered, dryly. Trix had the tact to press the point no further for the present. Her father, like all leading barristers, un dertook more than he could attempt, and attempted more than he could competently perform, and at present he was simply overwhelmed with work. After a heavy day at tho courts he returned to a harassed and hurried dinner. "My deaf. I never was so 'worried in my life!" he exclaimed to Trix, after he had kissed her, which he did always when he had been absent even a few hours from her. There's Mc Allister's gone and got tho influenza! "He's with me in two or three Rib chester cases, and there's one to-morrow that I've been depending upon him to master and manage almost al together,' pointing to a brief beside his plate. "I must tackle it after dinner with the holp of a strong cup of coffee." But you are due at Euston at 9:30." But an hour or so will give me it9 substance, and I can beat it into shape in the train. Having dispatched his dinner he was proceeding to open the brief, when Frederick Flint, senior partner In the famous firm of Flint. Affleck C.i., tvas announced. He had come tapom urgent businesa which was found , to necessitate an immediate consultation with Attorney General WeeviL After their departure Trix sat down to write her promised letter, which she had deferred until now in the hope of having something more and perhaps more favorable to record. As, however, her father had been too much hurried and worried to be spoken to upon the subject at dinner j phe could report only the morning's interview. Having at last finished her letter sne went into the study to look into her father's desk for a stamp, and here lying upon the desk sho found a brief! Upon going to see Mr. Flint, her father must havo taken it with him into tho study, laid it on tho desk and then forgotten it in his ab sorption w4tli a more important case. What now was to bo done? Half aft hour since the train had started from Euston, and thero was probably no other to-night for Ribchester. Upon looking into an A B C guide, how ever, sho found that a train left King's Cross for that town at -1:33 a. m. and was due at Ribchester at 9:15, and by this she could send tho brief. But if the case was to coirid on to-' morrow her father would not have timo to read not to say master tho brief. Why not send Bertie both as mesfconger and as a "junior?" He'd have five hours to study tho brief bo foro starting, and could, as her father said, boat the case into shape on the train. What a chance for him and for hv! "She rang tho bell, sent for hor niaid and bid her guest get ready at once to accompany her in a cab to Scldcn street. Within three-quarters of an hoiir they "ero there, and, slrango to bay, found Bertie tiier'c. WHeri he had hurried down to her to the cab she said, broathlessly: "I was afraid you'd bo at some party." I am duo at 3, but I waited in. ospcctirJg a letter," ho said, signifi cantly. Sho smiled aud bliisKc?, arid rewarded him with the sweetest o glances. "Here is something better." sho aid. handing him a bief and pro ceeding to explain fill the circura stances of the" casd "It's rt great cnaricc;" she wound up with. After oVaririg A lohg breath he an swered, "Almost too gl'c&i !?o" fjatucli may depend upon it." And then he" asked, wistfully, "Is there no letter?" "Nolhing but that to-night," she said decisively. "Remember 4:30, King's Cross. Telegraph from" Rib chostcr. Good-by!" And she drove resolutely away. Every undistracted minute now was momentous to him aad her. Never theless many of these precious min utes had slipped by before Bertie uoultl fort'e thoughts of her from his mind and concentrate his entire atten tion upon the brief. lilist rldwc,ve,f; he succeeded At last In doing, and he feftd Hnd re-reSti it until he had thoroughly mastered its bearings. Having then marsh alod its strong points in logical se quence and with cumulative force, he paced tho room to and fro, ad dressing not an imaginary court, judge and jury, but olily dud alwayt Weldon Wraxall, to whom he paid the compliment also of an imitation of his method and style. On his arrival in Ribchester he had a bath and hasty breakfast liefcre hurrying to tho courts. where he soon found the eminent Q. C Halloo, Rayburn! Got any cases on?" he asked, rather maliciously. "Ono, sir, I hope, with your con sent." "With my consent?" "Miss Wraxall was so good as U fcend me the brief you forgot 'Binris versus Haberton' which I've got up, fearing you would not now have timo to look at it." "Tho brief I forgot? 'Binns ver sus Haberton?' I have no such case on my list." - "No?" exclaimed Bertie, in pitiable dejection. "No phew! Of course! It's that case MoAllister had to throw up which Flint brought me last night, but I forgot, the brief in my study." "I do wish, frir, you'd get him to intrust it to me. Give me this chance," Bertie urged, with pathetic eagerness. The Q. C looked at him medita tively for a moment, and said then, as he put an encouraging hand on his shoulder, "Come along, then." They soon found Flint, whom the Q. C drew aside. Having explained the circumstances he said what he could for Bertia "For a young man he's the best partner at wlmt I ever played with." -What the " began Mr. Flint, precisely as her father had begun to answer the same recommendation when urged by Trix. Mr. Flint also checked himself be fore uttering tho "big swear" on his lips, and gave a rather grumbling assent to tho employment of Bertie, who, however, surprised him, and still more Mr. Wraxall, by his really admirable conduct of the case. "You'll do!" the Q. C cried to him enthusiastically.and Bertie knew that Trix was won. Richard AskeKing in Buffalo News. Wisconsin's Kajclen. They grow large eagles in Wiscon sin. Not long ago a man saw a big bald fellow sitting on a lofty elm at Concord, in that state, and discharged both barrels of his shotgun at it. The bird flew a few hundred feet and fell dead. It measured soven feet three inches from tip to tip and weighed eleven pounds. The talons measured along the convex surfaces, are nearly two inches in length. On the same day the man shot his bird a 16-year-old boy captured a golden eagle near West Bend. The bird was i slightly wounded and was captured after a severe struggle, and is now in the possession of its captor and gives promise of recovering from its in juries. This eagle measures nine feet between tips of its outspread wings. Snakes Caaaot Bite. "Snakes do not bite," says a Ne Orleans physician who has studied snakes considerably" They can't, he says, because their jaws are con nected only by a cartilage, are not hinced, and cannot lie brought to nether with any foive. The snake j simply hooks the fangs in its upper jaw into the object aimed at. the lower jaw not figuring in the act at all. The act is very similar to that of a man striking a cotton-hook into ' a bale of cotton, or a boat hook into a pier A Delicate Intraaieut.

I once knew a man who didn't believe in balloons. His reason was just the same as yours he had never seen one." It was Robert I.

Well, I kinder cackalato I did and t'want o' your hand-made-to-order-while-you-wdit ghosts oither, lemme tell you. You 'member the Ashtabula railroad wreck? Well, it was the night after that affair that I held my materalizatioM seance. I was "living in Dayton.

Hamrick one of tho lead ing physicians of Carrollton, had a pretty trick played on him latch- by a small negro boy he had in his cm ploy, says a Waycross. Ga , special to the Savannah New?. The doctor has a patient who has been seriously ill for some days, and he has been spend ing the evenings up to 9 of 10 o'elock with his patient, and then his colored boy would drive over after him and carry him home. Itst night the doctor's valet was a little late about coming, and he walked home. Very soon after his arrival at home the boy came and explained that he misled the doctor by going another street, which explanation the doctor accepted and let his boy off, who seemed to bo onjoying his last drink very much. Next morning Dr. Hamrick was ac costed on the street by a Mr. Walker, who wanted to know why the doctor came to his house the night before and took off one of his buggy wheels and left a broken one in it place. The doctor treated the matter a a joke at first, and not knowing that he had another man's wheel on his buggy, but he found out later that Mr. Walker was in earnest when he meant to swear out a warrant for the doctor for tho theft of a wheel. The doctor examined his buggy and found that some one had practiced duplicity on him and ho called on his negro boy, who at first denied any knowl edge of tho whcel,but when threaten ed with the lock-up, said he started after the doctor and some of the boys gave him a drinker so and he thought he would drive around a while boforo ho went for the doctor, and whilo out he ran against a tree and broke tho doctor's buggy wheel. He was near Mr. Walker's house, and he took off the broken wheel and put one of Mr. Walker's on in its place. He drove on a -hort distance further and found the new wheel would not work on the doctor's buggy, and ho went to Hon. O. L. Recso's buggy house and took a wheel from his buggy and put Walker's in tho place. He next carried tne buggy home, and on looking round he saw that Colonel Reese's whcol was black and the doctor's a different color, so he procured some paint and painted the wheel tho same color as the doc tor's wheels. The boy made a clean confession, and the only punishment he ot was about 100 lashes with a good hicKory. The doctor says it i? a good joke on him. Colonial Furniture. Perth Amboy, N.

Matthew Robinson (Lord Rokeby), a prominent but eccentric Englishman of the last century, became famous for his long beard and pronounced hatred of medical practitioners. In regard to the former it is said that upon one occasion when going to an election he stopped at at inn where the country people, who had assembled for miles around, took him for a Turk and through this mis taken idea almost worried "me lord" to death. His dislike for physicians was carried to such au extreme that he left a codicil to his will which was to the effect that a favorite nephew was to be disinherited should he (the nephew) in the last illness of the lord let his sym pathies cause him to cnd for a doctor. This having been made known to the nephew when his uncle, the lord, was in good health, it is needless to add that be allowed that person's spirit to take its flight without calling in any of the "infernal surgical fraternity." A Chance for Shorthand Writer. A gentleman writes from Anstralia that there is a grcttt chance for short hand writers in that country. A while ago an examination was held in Mel bourne for shorthand writers in the courts. Out of thirteen only six passed the test of 120 words a minute and but fewer still the test of 130. Sir John Thurston, who tried to engage a sten ographer for correspondence, offering $1,000 a year and board, complained that most of the applicants were una ble cither to write rapidly or to read their notes afterward. If You Want The Best ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck with but few failures in making cake and biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and sour milk, or soda arid cream of tartar, 3Tou will have better luck and (following directions) no failures with the Roral Baking Powder. The truth of this must be evident when you remember that in the leading hotels and res taurants, and in the homes of our city cousins, where the latest and best methods are invari ably employed, and where the most beautiful and dainty food is always set out for the guests, the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used for all quickly risen food. Royal Baking Powder never disappoints; never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never spoils good materials; never leaves lumps of alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these things do happen with the best of cooks who cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use other Baking Powders. If you want the best food, Royal Baking Powder is indispensable. Rev. H. P. Carson, Scotland, Dak., says: "Two bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure complete ly cured my little girl.' W. H.
