Carlyle, jsimetimes she did not. But the ! oftener she came the oftener one fixed facl became evolved from her inner consciousness—that Augusta Bellefont was, or ought to be, the iiappiest girl in the world. Yet there was an absent look in Augusta’s great blue eyes, a troubled expression of the month, that for- •ade tiie interference of perfei t ■liss. “I wonder what it is that is wani ng in her life?” said Mattie to her self. “Oh, if only I was in hi r ..ace!” Lights and blossoms and the shimmer of silk and satin ushered in Miss Bellefont’s wedding even ing; and Mattie was there, dimpled, smiling and eager to help. The bridesmaids were ready—all •vas ready but the bride. Augusta Bellefont had been strangely capri cious and full of vagaries all day, sometimes laughing, sometimes al most sad. “Ready?” she cried, glaneing at the lit!le malachite clock on the mantel, as the last summons came. ‘‘Surely it is not time yet I won’t dress tiil I am obliged. “See here, little one,” to Mattie, “I’ve an idea if seeing what I am like in this fine bridal garb of mine. You are abou I my height and build. You shall put on the wedding-dress and veil, the white satin slippers and the wreath.” “I, Miss Augusta ?” “You. Why not? Quick! Off with that sober brown gingham, that makes such an insignificant brown sparrow of you!” And half-laughing, half-reluctant. Mattie Everett obeyed, not alto- pother ftvorow U/ acou;.»g, kowonif ven though it was in jest, with thi brilliant robes* and resplenden' pearls of the heiress. The reflection in the mirror brought the rosy carmine to her cheek. Involuntarily she dropped her eyes. “You are charming, my petite!” cried Miss Bellefont, “But stay— the bouquet from the other room. Wait half a second and I will bring it.” Mattie Everett was one of the prettiest girts in the city. She knew she was pretty when she looked in tlie glass—she saw the reflection of her rosebud beauty in the admiring faces of chance passers. And yet, withal, Mattie Everett was not eon- tented. She wanted to be rich. She yearned for a peep into “fashion able society.” She was tired of the commonplace existence which she led every day, and longed for an adventure of some sort—a streisBIol romance to dapple her life! For Mattie was only adress-inak- er’s apprentice, learning the trade under the auspices of Mme. Gene vieve. So matters stood, when Miss Uelletont’s wedding order came in “Where’s that little blu»*-eyed girl you sent to my house to alter mv white cashmere morning robe?” said Miss Bellefont to Mme. Gene vieve. “Let her come again. She has a capital idea of trimmings, and her fit is excellent.” Augusta Bellefont was not unlike Mattie herself—a plump, fresh-com- plexioned girl, with blue eyes and pale-yellow hair—and after she was gone Mattie heard the full pnrticu- ulars of the case—how Miss Belle font was to be married the next month to Major Carlyle, who had more money than he knew what to do.with. “She’s a lovely girl, I’m sure,” said Miss Garrett,’the forewoman, as she cut ofT yard upon yard of bia white satin for the trimming. “And for all that they say there’s a young fellow without a penny in the worlo to bless himself with that she love- to distraction.” “Oh, how delightfully romantic!” E eried Mattie, with sparling eve | and she worked away, thinking ol Miss Bellefont and her two lover*. “One has her heart,” she mused “the other will have her hand Dear. dear, what a world tills is!” ; Two or three days afterward Mat- H tie Everett took a big paper box of half-completed dress bodies to the pretty little biown-stone house on Oreusa park where Miss Bellefont lived. The servant showed her inti the library where the beauty sat picturesquely posed in a Sleepy Hollow chair, with her satin-slip- jiered feet on an embroidered foot stool. And leaning against the op- j posite window stood a tall, hand some man whom Mattie recogc;:-' d at once as Maj. Carlyle. “Hallo!” cried he, in his off hand way, “is that the milliner’s little girl ? Pretty as a daisy, isn’t she ?” “I told you she was pretty,” said Miss Bellefont, and Mattie smiled and blushed and dimpled, and scarcely knew which way to look. “Major, I shall have to leave you for a few minutes. I dare say you can “Oh! Miss Bellefont, let me go.” “No; I’ll cut it in a minute.” And away she flitted. One minute went by—two, three, four, and five, and still Miss Belh - font did not come back. Mattie be gan to grow uneasy and venturei to pe“p into the room beyond. N* one was there. The gir'.’s heart gave a great jinn; —at the same moment the bevy o bridesmaids fluttered into the room. “Come, Augusta, are you ready v The groom is waiting, the clergy man’s come, and 3V hv, Misi Everett!” Mattie grew scarlet. “She made me put it on,” she falt ered, conscious of the awkwardnes- of her position. “And where is she?” demanded indignant Mrs. Bolleiont. “Gone for the bouquet.” They made immediate search foi her, but, as the reader will probahlv conjecture. Miss Augusta was fai enough away, and only a note, which Clara Mord.,unt, the secom bridesmaid, found slipped into th. window casing, gave any idea ot her whereabouts. “Good-by,” it said, debonnairly. “1 love Harry Fiske, and have gone ti marry him. A. B.” And in the midst of the melee Major Carlyle’s tali head was seen towering over the rest like Sau above his fellows. “Gone, has she?” said he, with a composure which was quite wonder ful under the circumstances. “And I am left to wear the mitten. But who is this little ghost in the wed ding robes?” Mattie Everett lifted her pleading eyes to his. “I didn’t mean to do wrong,” she said. “Oh. believe me. sir, I knew nothing of all this!” Maj. Carlyle looked gravely at her. “Here is a bride,” he said, “ami here is the wedding-feast, the cler gyman, and the guests, and, last of all, the groom! So I think it would be a pity to lose the wedding. If Miss Bellefont does not care tor me that is no sign that others may not. Come here, little Mattie Everett— will you be the bride ?” Mattie looked in his face a min ute, and then she said: “Yes.” It was a strange wedding, bnt it was a wedding, after all. And Mattie is happier now than it was a bleak December night and the wind blew. Hal and I boarded the limited express for New York at Chicago and were en joying a cigar in the smoker. Hal had fallen asleep and I was busily absorbed in my own reflection, I glanced casually and with little in terest at the scenes through which i was being rapidly whirled. It was only when twilight shut out visible objects and the lowering clouds grew black I awakened to t.he'consciousness that it was night tnd that Hal had been sleeping an nour. “Come, old fellow,” I said, shak ing him, “wake up!” “Hello!” he exclaimed, rousing limself and looking a little stupid. “Nice sociable chap fora compan ion, f must say.” “How long have I been asleep?” sitting upright and looking around him. “About an hour, I should judge.” “Well, between you and me, Will, I needed it. I didn’t go to bed at ail last night; so much to be done, all at tlie last moment.” “That’s a fine excuse for yoil to give,” I said, dryly. Hal laughed. He was the best-natured chap in the world. A big, strapping fellow, stand ; ng six feet high, with merry blue eyes, clear-cut features, and fair almost to womanliness. He. was a great swell, too, and a univer sal favorite. “Abominable night,” he mutter ed, a little irritably for him, “and confoundedly cold, too. I had just about half enough sleep, Will, and 'f you don’t mind I’ll get to bed." “That suits me,” I replied. “1 am with you.” We crossed the platform and step ped into the other car. A gust of wind and snow whizzed past as we opened the door, which called forth a. «1'»VA.— <,-.««vki5*»c* imnrooafinn from Hal relative to the weather. Decidedly he was sleepy. There were not many passengers on board, and these the invariable travelers one is sure to encounter. First came a garrulous old gentleman, very thin, with white hair, who oc cupied four seats and essayed to read by tlie uncertain light of the railway lamp, which was of no more use than those lamps usually are, and quite as ornamental. Then came tlie commercial traveler, who was disposed to take things as he foun I them, and wore an expres- ion rather bland than otherwise. A portly old lady with a bird-cage tnd several bandboxes next attract ed my attention. A spiuster who .at upright in a most rigid position, ind an insipid miss of Vi or there- ,bout* traveling in care of the con- luctor, together with a short, stout thickset man of uncertain age and occupation, made up the list of pas sengers. No, there was another; 1 had quite overlooked him. He came on the train while we were in ihe smoker. A tall, dark man of about 40 years, with a pale, haggard face ai d hollow, sunken eyes. His borih had been made up and he was seated on one side of it, his head resting on his hand, when Hal anil I entered the car. A shrill little voice which echoed through the si lent car caused every one to turn round in the direction whence it came. “By all that’s unlucky,” groaned Hal, “a baby.” “Not a doubt of it,” I agreed. “And good lungs it has, too,” he went on, pettishly. “I wish it would tie quiet.” But the baby hadn’t the slightest notion of this. To speak the truth, it had not begun yet. The shrill cry continued growing louder and loud er; the passengers commenced star ing hard at the berth and harder at one another. The garrulous old gentleman laid aside his magazine and remarked, sarcastically: “This is pleasant.” The portly iady opened her wa tery eyes as wide as she could and exclaimed: “Dear me!” The spinister wore an air of vir tuous triumph and said nothing, dare say she congratulated herself upon her lucky escape. The com mercial traveler looked wicked, Hal, I am sorry to say, swore and tumbled into bed in no very envia ble frame of mind. Presently every one sought his or her resting-place, the lamps were lowered, and the porter made him self as comfortable as the rules, of the company would permit. But through it all that baby cried. The storm raging without was mild in comparison with the storm raging within. “By Jove!" exclaimed Hal, “bed is a mockery. Of all the nuisances I ever came in contact with this takes the palm. What do the pa-, rents mean \>j letting it scream like! that ? Why don’t they attend prop-! erly to their business?” At this he opened the curtains, looked out, and calling to me said: “Will, the father has it, and he’s holding it upside down.” The tall, dark man was striding up and down carrying, and most clumsily at that, the child, who ap peared to be about two years old, and who beat him with her little fists and struggled to get on the floor, all tiie while crying lustily. The dark gentleman was perfectly unmoved; he placed the car in a mechanical way, paying not the slightest heed either to the baby or the many uncharitable remarks he could not fail to overhear. An hour passed, and still the night was made hideods by those piercing screams. “Thunderation!” roared Hal, “will the little beggar never have done?” Seemingly not, for at that very mo ment she burst into fresh and more vigorous cries. “Pitch her out of the window,” suggested the stout gentleman. “Do something,” murmured the commercial traveler. “Let her cry; it’s likely to kill her,” put in the spinster, compla cently. “In the name of heaven,” exclaim ed Hal, springing out of bed in des peration and intercepting the dark gentleman in his march, “why don’t you give that child to her mother? England and Knssia. The quiet of Asia is not to be cred Sited to any desire on the part *4 Russia to abandon her march 11 conquest to the Indian ocean, but rather to the fact that the move- i ment of large bodies of northern troops under an Asiatic sun is a difficult and hazardous thing to do. The absence of any overt acts on the part of Russia is due rather t< the natural difficulties in her path than to any fear of Great Britain There is. however, little doubt bul that Russia has teen quietly pushing her troops in siii’afl detachment? into Znifikar pass, and that the Ameer of Afghanistan is working night and day to prepare Herat for a seige he has good reasc-n to believe will begin with the inoderati m of the weather if not before. The British commander is locating camp some where beyond Qietta, which can be made a base for any movement he may wish to make in the direction of Candahar when oc casion shall require. There has al so within the last ten days been a significant change in the tone of the Russian press, and ail at once they speak of the necessity of forward moveraerits and are filled with hos tile hints with so much Unanimity as to induce the belief that they are inspired from a common source for a single purpose. There is a strong belief in Russia that the new min istry of England will not be permit ted to tight by the liberals, and they That is what she wants. Give her ■ believe the time is opportune for an to her mother and be done with it.” ‘Sir;” said the dark gentleman, stopping and speaking deliberately, “and you all, ladies and gentlemen,” turning and addressing the heads bobbing from behind the curtains, “I beg to apologize for the disturb ance my little one has caused, and the great annoyance you have been forced to endure. Believe me, I would have done anything in my power to prevent it. You” to Hal, “suggest I give her to her mother. Sir, her mother is in the front car in her cotftn. I must do the best I can.” No one spoke a word, and every head disappeared in his or her cur tain in a trice. Hal stood dumb founded for a moment, and then drawing himself up and speaking “I humbly beg your pardon, x ought to be ashamed of myself, and so I am. Go to bed and give this young lady to me.” “But do you think you could ' ’ “I think so, if I tried.” “Thank you. A little rest will be a great boon.” “Come here, miss,” said Hal, hold ing out his arms. “Come along, or I’ll take you anyhow.” To his utter amazement the tiny hands were immediately outstretch ed to him, and with a little sigh the baby nestled againSt his shoulder. “By all that’s mysterious, Will, look at this.” Miss Baby’s arms were tight around his neck, Miss Baby’s cheek was pressed against his own. I saw Hal start, and then he clasped the little creature closer and kissed her dimpled hands and face, and held her tenderly in his great strong arms. “Will, come and see her,” he call ed, “she’s prettier than a picture.” And when I crept out and stole » look at the fairy there she lay asleep in all her baby beauty with a sweet smile curving her rosy lips, and her goiden hair falling in tangled curls over her little flashed forehead. “She is pretty,” 1 admitted. “Pretty!” echoed Hal. “Weil, I should think so. Will, you may not believe it, but I’d give a good round sum if she belonged to m*>; I would, upon my word.” And when he looked up there was such earnestness in his face I knew he meant it. He held her so all night, scarcely breathing lest he should disturb her, anti when he parted with her in the morning there was a tear glistening on baby’s white hand, and I knew it was on the one Hal had kissed last, before giving her back to her father. other advance* after which will come ano(her conference, in which Russia will claim aii she has gained and make promises only to break them, as she has all she has hereto fore made. There is quite a feeling of alarm in London, and Russia maj- find that the English people will applaud Lord Salisbury the loudest when he tak°s the strong est measure against the Russian ad vance. The complications in Asia cannot be settled without war. It must come some time and it is more likely to come this fall and winter than later.

Some men would shut her out ol our literature, but I am not one oi them. The girl at the front gate can never grow old to those who have been there with her. Years may come and go, but the music of the low voice at the fronl gate will not be stilled and the memory of the cherry lips we kissed at the front gate will hold out faithful to the end. What if the old gate doe3 sag and its hinges rattle and its latch refuse to hold it shut? What if the posts are shaky and some of its pickets gone? We love the dear old relic still. We love it for the sake of the girl who used to stand out there by it with roses on her cheeks and nectar on her lips. We held the old gate up and counted the stars and oid goo Ibye and then counted the stars again. How many times of a night was good-bj-e said?
