She, the niece of the wealthy mill owner, Mr. Carter, who had but lately come to Grovedale; he soon to have an interest in the same business, though he did not know it then. In a year from their first meeting they were married. Vane's mysterious journeys began the spring after their marriage, and they took place always in May. How well she recollected her own chagrin at not being invited to accompany him; she, almost a bride. to be left while he went alone oa his trip! Worst of all, he never told ler where he was going, nor his object in coin'' and from that time until now- all she wished to learn about the woman who had her husband. How she wished she had looked at her through the field glass she had in the tower! But it had not occurred to her at the time. As it was. she had only a rather x'ague idea that the woman was oung and pretty, and the uncom fortable conviction of jealousy on her own part, which she must try to rid herself of speedily. What better way than to learn something about the woman, and her object in speaking to her husband? She would not ask foolish questions, but if the desired information came to her, well and gcod.

Last Saturday at noon a promoter started down Wall street to take a steamer for British Guiana. With him was an Englishman who had never seen a ball game, having lived all his life on his estate bordering the Esse quibo river. Tl.e promoter was going down to buy from him for a syndicate a vast tract of forest land. A pack of youngsters from Water sfeet, chased by a policeman from their native heath, began to play base ball on narrow Hanover street, just when the promoter and his friend should have been increasing their pace. So they stopped along with hi'ndret's of others, from bankers to push cart men. The field was a narrow one; the eight-year-old batter faced the City bank; right field was blocked by Rrown Brothers, and left field by the Custom House. The catcher's back stop was the United States Lloyd's building. The play was scientific. The Eng lishman was an apt student and joined in the roar as a three-bagger into an iron shutter of the Custom House cleared the bases. Then fol lowed a home run into an apple cart en Wall street; those who chose to celebrate the play by picking up ap ples and eating them did so. The promoter finally dragged the Britisher away. They missed their steamer at that, and it took a lot of persuasion plus a yellow note to get a busy tug boat captain to give chase. Off Bay Ridge they boarded their liner talking baseball.

Wmf our sleep, and your appetite has fail ed lately." "The more reason why I need a change. The fact is. my business is too much for me this debilitating spring weather. I suspect I am a little bilious, and since Mr. Henderson and our uncle have chosen to leave the mill business so much to me, that with my duties at the bank, has worn me down. They will have to take the reins in my a?sence, and Tony will do very well at the bank for the two weeks I am away." "Always two weeks," murmured his wife. "Yes; and I am sure it seems like a year." "Then why do you go?" "Because I must. You would not un derstand. It is best that I do not ex plain at present. There goes the whistle. What shall I bring you, Claire?" going to his little girl's side and stooping to kiss her. A small face, framed in golden hair, with big. dark eyes looking out from under fluffy bangs, was raised to his as she sprang to her feet. "Oh. a ring, papa a gold ring," "All right. I won't forget. And you, Perley?" "A writing book, if you please. Mine is all written through." "Very well." kissing the boy as he had his sister. "And what shall I bring you Con stance?" .he asked, returning to his wife's side. "Just yourself, and let it be scon." looking eag.:Iy and earnestly into his face. "I shall be back soon, never fear. Constance, you are more beautiful than you ever were, and I love you better," he whispered. "I wish I were at home again. I will be s"oon," And kissing her hastily he took his valise, after putting on his hat, gloves, and overcoat, and left the house. His wife stood by the window watching him until he was out of sight, when a thrill of superstitious fear shot through her. She bad watched him out of sight. Away back in her childhood a maid en relative had so strongly impressed her mind with the malevolent influ ences of such an act that she could never, despite her common sense, get rid of the belief. But she was cheered the next mo ment by recollecting her tower. She sped quickly upstairs, then along the corridor and to another flight. This brought her to the foot of the tower, which was built at one side of the house, and rose fifteen feet above it There were windows in it on all sides, and it gave a commanding view of the it had been a mystery. Among the townspeople they were looked upon as business trips to Boston, but she her self knew that he went elsewhere. And he stayed from home two weeks. Once he left her quite ill. though out of danger, the physician assured him. Another time she asked him to take her with him and he refused. Always there was an air of secrecy, a grave abstraction. rn intangible difference in his mann'r. as if called about an irl-sonie business Meanwhile, Clare and Perley were added to their home, and they had been happy ilirough the eight years of their married life despite the mys tery of his yearly trips. For she trusted him. She was sure that he loved ner: but each time as the middle of May approached she grew nervous. and in various indirect ways tried to hinder his going. Just at that moment the sun burst out. The most unbelieving could not call the weather into question, but still the cloud sat on Mrs. Hamilton's brow. "Some women." she whimpered, for she was quite alone, "would sus pect their husbands of wrong-doing, to go away as Vane does every year so mysteriously"; and then she went slowly downstairs to her own room, pausing on a stair to listen to the children's voices in the dining room. "I have them at all events," she thought. Going straight to her mirror she gazed long at her own reflection, not ing the clear, colorless complexion, the dark luminous eyes, the rich brown hair with its gleams of gold, the tall, graceful figure, and the in tangible charm which blent them all together into a charming personality, her own. She loved her husband deeply, and was not insensible to the compliment he paid her when going away. "Why did he go, if he did not wish to? Surely business did not de mand his absence. He had no rela tives. He did not go for his health; besides, his trips were yearly. A wave of color sped over her face and she clutched her bands nervously. Just then the children came rushing in, and Perley said, clasping her hand, "I am glad you are pretty, mamma. I should hate to have a homely one, shouldn't you, Clare?" T should get used to It In time, I presume," said the precise little maid en. Mrs. Hamilton took them both in her arms and hogged them tightly for a moment Then she made them tidy for school, but Instead of letting them go off alone, she put on a street dress and went with them. Moscow's Baby Farm. The higs:e-t baby larin is at Mos cow, which is said to ha,-e an annual crop of 14.0(10 babies, with a branch farm at St. Petersburg, which has SKio more. The Moscow fnundlintr asv'mn was founded by the I'mpres-, 'atheiine II. and is maintained by a tax on plajing f-ards. Servants in royal red livery stand at it.s doors, and ii.- accounts are at .ited by oliicers of the treasury de paitn.ent. The lofty buildings stand In a hollow square, lound a garden with tr.m lawn and trees, which forms a playciijuiid for the children. Little ones of all sorts and sizs. from tender nurslings, who in the in cubating rooms are just struggling into life, are tended by careful nurses and are sur oi as good attention and good food as any baby can need About filty new babies are received every day, and after four weeks the nurses take them to their own home; in the villages. His Reference. In the course of a conversation be tweun two men at the club last nighl cne of them jokingly remarked thai a man with a "cheek" could get anj' thing he desired, and he backed up his statement with the following s.ory: One of his friends, a merchant, had advertised for a porter. A big, burly Irishman applied for the job. After looking him over the merchant was satisfied with his appearance; the only objection was the question of references, and the Irishman did not seem to have a very good one. "Can you get no better reference than this?" asked the merchant. "O vis, Sor; I kin git je the very best kind of a wan. if that's all ye want. Sir; and I don't have to go far for it. either. Me farther and me morther, Sor. live down the tthrate. and they've known me all me life And he landed the job. A Penurious Deacon. The late Rev. Dr. Fay, once settled at Leonminstr. when in charge of another parish had a close fisted dea con who occasionally loaned money when he could get e:worbitant rates of interest. A poor widow who owned a small homestead applied to the deacon for a loan, and he let her have it. The intercut mentioned in the note was 9 per cent. Dr. Fay heard of the transaction and took the deacon to task for the ex orbitant demand. "When the Lord looks down from heaven, deacon, and sees that note, how can jou justify your act?" he asked. "Dr. Fay. if the Lord should look down from heaven, that 9 will look like a C." A Sharp Voice. "Mr. Eomong has a rather sharp voice, hasn't she?" "Sharp? Well, it's a voice that never needs any honing. She was at the theater one night in a box party and talked as usual all through the play, and finally the manager got so mad the piece wasn't drawing very well, anyway that he came out be fore the curtain and said that if the saw filing in one of the boxes didn't cease the play couldn't go on, and the audience applauded wildly."
