There is two sides to every question, as the best of reason demonstrates; but Mane Pirot, try as she might, could find only one side to the question of her en gagement to Sydney Worth; and that, un fortunately for the lover, was the nega tive side. Sydney, on his part, being a man, was logical enough to take in alL the bear ings of the case, and yet heroic enough to await Marie's decision with a cour age worthy of a cause more sublime than theyea o^mayof tt brtjwn-ejred girl. In this trembling balance, however, was hung this hope of all earthly happiness, while he smoked his cigar and talked, and walked about the world as usual. "Take a week, only a week, for calm consideration,” he had 'begged her, arid then proceeded to enhance her calmness by daily letters of urgent pleading. His eagerness harassed arid woried Marid into a state almost of resentment, and took from her much of the responsibility of her final action. It gave her some thing tc fight against, and armed her with necessary firmness. "Whereas, if he had thrown himself completely and helplessly on her mercy, she would have found it doubly hard to wring his heart by her decided refusal; but she would have wrung it, all the same. When her letter came at last, poor Sydney kissed the dagger before he re ceived its stab—that is, he kissed her handwriting, and then very likely a few moments later dropped a tear or two in the same spot. But the letter was folded and put away, as such letters and such poor and broken hopes are being folded and put away all over the worid to-day and every day, and Sydney went about his b sines* astonished and mis erable at the heavy weight of his disap pointment. But the days and years went on; Syd ney sat at his desk and made money, and Marie sang in her church and gave music lessons, losing her youthful beauty somewhat, but gaining always in grace I and attractiveness. She and S\’dney met occasionally as friends, and hise\es still told the same old story that was now forbidden of all other expression. As for Miss Pirot, she met the usual ex perience that falls to the lot of talented and gracious woman. She had hosts of male friends, quite an array of admir ers, and always one or two ardent lov ers who were much in the same case as Sydney himself—for it would seem even to the most interested observer that Miss Pirot’s being, musical ami harmo nious as it was, had uever yet responded to the master- chord of all—the chord of Love! But at bwt, when the keynote of Marie’s destiny was struck, and its flood of melody came pouring into her life like an overwhelming tide, neither the alto on one side of her, nor tho bass on the other, nor even the organist. Lucy Crumm, who was her bosom friend, guessed that anything unusual had hap pened. It came about in this very common place way. Old Brande, the regular tenor, was absent, for the first time in seven years, for the Tuesday night re hearsal. The choir had assembled, and stood about, waiting and wondering, and conferring on Mr. Brande’s position apart from all other tenors on record by the genuine surprise at his delinquency, when there came suddenly up the choir staircase a tall and slim young man, very fair, with plenty of flowing blonde hair that hung in student fashion on his broad while" collar. He spoke with a foreign accent, in a high musical voice, addressing Mias Pirot, who happened to be nearest to him, as he approached the organ. , “Mr. Brandt has sent me to sing—he is too much ill for this night, and also for Sunday, he thinks. But if it is pleas ing, I sing his part for all.” Miss Pirot only bowed and amiled, but did not speak. There was good reason for her silence. She had fallen i. ? love with this young inan, of whose existence she had been aware three seconds! It is not to be wondered at that, m the con fusion of her senses, she had, for the moment, mislaid her voice. “So very glad,” said Lucy Crumm, all animation, and reassured on the scowof Mane sighed, but said nothing. She ivas 28, with a heart that had just ’earned to throb like the heart of 18. The scale of fortune, we are told, is often turned by a feather, and this propo sition was very, forcibly demonstrated for Marie Pirot, one windy autumn evening, not long afterwards, as tbe lit tle choir-group came into the street to gether. She was walking with Lucy Crumm. as usual, and behind them, arm-in-arm, came the base and tenor (Miss Roberts, the alto, had said good night and gone off in the opposite direc tion with her little brother); Miss Pirot was listening with her ears to the voice beside her, and with her soul to the voice behind her, when suddenly away on the wings of the wind went her long brown feather, wrenched from it, fastenings on her jaunty "hat; away and away, careering and whirling out of sight like a living creature that had found all at once the freedom of its wings. • Marie uttered a little half laughing cry/ and started on the chase; but the tenor darted by her like a flash, and soon distanced her, as the feather distanced him. Marie did not slacken lier-paye,,however, and as 8 result, when the feather was at last captured, they fonnd themselves fade to face, laughing, breathless, under a street-lamp, and more than a block ahead of Mr. Aiken and Miss Crumm. What more natural than that they should walk on together, slowly, or that Mr. Wetzel, seeing her out of breath from her late exercise, should offer her his arm? There seemed no valid reason why they should dis solve this pleasant- companionship when the other two caught up with them; and (rom this time, instead of putting the ladies in the street car at Twenty-third atreet, Sir. Aiken walked with Miss Crumm to her home in Twenty-fifth street,-and Mt. Wetzel walked all the way across town with Marie Pirot. «****»» It was a wretched night; the rain fell in torrents, a chilly wind was blowing, tiie streets were wot and dismal, and Marie Pirot was walking under an um brella with Gustave Wetzel and cling ing fondly to bis arm. The rain was Minding her. somewhat, but her tears were blinding her still more—furtive, hit ter tears, such as women often weep, unknown to all tbe worid. The crowded street cars passed them ever minute or two, but Marie had refused to ride. This was the last time they would ever walk together—the last of many, many times. She could not afford to shorten these few sad moments of parting and fare well. He had come to the choir that evening only to tell them that he had been suddenly called back to Germany and must sail in the morning; but he had staid and sang over with Marie some of the old duets, and now they were walking home together, slowly, through all Die storm, by the way they had learned to know so well. At first few words were spoken be tween them. Marie felt only the un reasoning love, the delight of contact, the bliss of this dual solitude encircled by rain and storm and darkness. To ber it mattered little what they said or where they went, so that they were to gether; and to-morrow was pushed as far from her horizon as if it were twenty years away. Bat all the truth came back on her like a shock when Gustave’s voice said: “I must thank you. Miss Pirot, for the kindness yon have given to me always —to me, a stranger: I shall often think of your lovely voice when I am far away.’’ "We have indeed had pleasant times,’’ she answered, bravely and clearly, after a moment’s pause. “But why need you go if you have been—happy—here? Ah, you—you have not many regrets. You are glad, I think?’’ "Indeed I anl glad,” and glad his face looked—excited and eager. “It is a grand opportunity now that offers. You can understand, if one has been planning long, and waiting, that one might be glad to see fulfillment near. ” “Yes,’’ said Marie. That one word only, and in her voice was the huskiness that comes with tears. “Ah, well, I see my way now, clear,” he continued, gayly and brightly. All unconscious of tUfe mute tragedy that went on beside him. he poured out the story of his disappointments in the past of his plans and visions for the future. Marie listened silently. It seemed each moment that the tide of her emotion must burst all bonds and carry with it the fine reserve of her nature, its womanly dignity and pride. She called up all her strength at last, in a desperate effort. “I must leave you here,” she said, stop ping suddenly at a corner. “I—I have theouartette- “but so very sorry to hear | wm e business to do—I will say good- w. n' ’i« ilL Nothing serious, I „j K ht and good-bye.

Let me escort you where you wish to go—so dark, and such a rain!” “I liave my own umbrella here.” She raised it as she spoke. “Thank you, very, very much, but I prefer to go alone. And you know,” smiling strangely at him, “I shall have to do without your escort altogether after this. You have been more kind—” She broke off suddenly, and busied herself with the fastening of her cloak; then held out her hand. “Good-bye!” she said, abruptly. “Good-bye. Miss Pirot, if it must be so —if tou wish it.” “Oil, yes. Parting, I think, should never be prolonged. I hope you will have a good voyage. I hope you will be always happy. Good-bye, Gustave." But Marie had wrenched her hand from his and was gone, a dark, hurrying shape, down the lighted, rain-swept street. *•*•••* "Marie!" Sydney Worth had come out of the opera after the second act, and having buttoned his long rubber coat to the chin,, was scudding, up Fourteenth street in an element defying humor, when this word burst from his lips, in a tone of amazement. Marie Pirot had just passed him on the crossing at Fourth avenue: a sudden backward tilt of her umbrella had shown him her face plainly, pals and strange, with that absorbed, unsee ing look that mental suffering give*. Her swift step faltered an instant at the sound of his voice, and at that instant he was by her side. •q knew I could not be mntakeb,” he said, breathlessly; "hut yeft-tof-tol and at this hour!

I never knew it could be so terrible! I did not dream Of what you felt when we parted; you were so noble and so good. You never made me understand how cruel— Oh, and you bore it all? I can pity you now?” “Yes, dear?” he said, tenderly. “I am glad to hear you say that. I am glad you liave, at last, some pity to give me.” “Oh, but you do not need any more. Surely you can not care still as you used to—” “Oli, hushl” Sydney interrupted, very gently, “Hush, my dear! hush, Marie! You have never understood- my love if you think it could change or pass away in a few months or years.” “And you do love me this minute— now—as you did then?? “Always—always!" “But if I should tell you that I had thrown my heart away, unasked, un sought—oh, so hopelessly and vainly 1 and if-1 should Say to you, ‘Will you take my promise to be your wife—ah, not soon, but some time, when I am a better aud happier woman?’—if I should ask you to accept the poor service of my life and let me try to love you—would that atone a little for tbe pain and trouble of the past?” “Oh, Marie, you do not mean it?” His grasp tightened on her ting »rs. “Do you think what you are saying?” “Yes, ves, yes!—if you will take my poor half-broken heart—but not yet!” she checked herself, piteously. “I could not love you yet—bye-and-bye it all may come right. And, meanwhile, if you wish it, we can be engaged. You must stay near me, Sydney, and be good to me.- Oh, help me?—help me to live. You know how hard it is—how impossi ble it seems that joy or hope can ever come again!” “You have given joy and hope to me, I know,” he said, in a low, happy voice. “I am willing to wait for love—as long as ever you like, darling, for it is sure to come!” “But think—oh, Fate is strange!— think, if I had not met you!” Marie leaned more closely on his arm. “Fate knows what she is about,” Syd ney answered, smiling down at the earnest, pale face. “You were obliged to meet me. Under the circumstances nothing else could have happened.” Fate did know what she was about, as she usually does, if minds finite could but compass her infinite plans. A few days later brought to Sydney Worth the unexpected fulfillment of a hope that he had patiently placed a long way off in the future—the full bestowal of Marie Pirot’s love. They were driving through the park in a brilliant October sunset, and Syd ney had been talking brightly of vari ous matters of interest, when he threw liis head back with a short laugh, and said, in a kind of triumphant tone: “Well, I was pleased to-day, Marie. You remember that fellow I told you of that had defaulted from our office with a lot of money last week?" “No,” said Marie, vaguely. “Did you tell me?” “Come to think of it, I didn’t," said Sydney, smiling. “That’s so. I was afraid it might annoy you. WelL it’s all right now. They’ve- got him—at least, not him, for he gave them the slip at the last moment; but the money's safe. He took away $7,000, and we’ve recovered all but $300; that he spent. I tell you we’ve been lucky, and so has he. It’s a curious thing,” pursued Sydney, thoughtfully; “but—I’m awfully glad the scamp escaped.” “Glad?” repeated Marie, solemnly. “Oh. why? He will be sure to victimize other poor people.” “Other rich people," said Sydney, eor- rectingly. “Of course he will, for it turns out that he is a regular confidence man; but you have no idea how much I liked him. We all did. He came to us about six months ago, and said he had just arrived in the country, and was quite friendless. Well, the firm took him on trust, actually. He had gotten himself up like a German student—long hair a" l broken English, and he had tire loveliest tenor voice! Old Bond was fairly infatauted with tins paragon. It was Wetzel here and Wetzel there—” What!” Marie grasped Sydney’s arm with both ber hands. lYrl^ht of on Infant.

They were remdve.1 -from there to a reservation at Westport, Mo., near Kate sas City, then to the valley of the Neo sho, then to a reservation in southern Kansas, and finally to their present home in Indian territory. The Osages Were a powerful tribe, and to get them off of coveted lands Uncle 8am seems to have been willing to pay them "more liberally than tho other wards of the na tion. In this way the Osages come into their present possessions; which include a tract of land In Indian territory' fifty miles square, or about 1,500,000 acres, and an annuity of $350,000. This is the interest on United States bonds given them in exchange for their former lands in Kansas and Missouri and held in trust by the government, which pays the an nuity in semi-annual payments. There are about 400 families, averag ing about four to a family—a total of about 1,000 people. Out of this interest fund the Indians draw $185 a year for each man, woman and child—so that the larger his family the more the head of a family is enabled to draw. This system would apparently foster a rapid increase of population, but, strange to say, the’full-blood Indians are decreas ing in numbers. The full-blood families are small and the tribe is doomed to ex tinction. This is probably due to two causes—the changed physical condition of their life and the laS9 of all ambition as a race. The wild Indian was a fine specimen of robust physical develop ment, with great enduring powers. He could face any storm, brave the most vigorous weather, endure the toils and privations of the march and camp. Na ture, somehow, took care of him, healed his wounds, and warded off disease. But now, taken from his “native heath,” cut off from much that was part of his physical existence, his territory circum scribed, compelled by superior force to keep the peace- with neighboring tribes, coaxed to adopt the habits, food, the customs, and the dresa of the white man, compelled to send his children to school, and too often tempted to adopt the white man’s "vices—with all these changed conditions be is a changed be ing. As be has deserted nature, nature now deserts him. He is more susceptible to disease. The wild Indian could be care less in dress and indifferent to exposure, but on the reservation it is different. If he gets his feet wet or sleeps on the ground, he is liable to “catch cold” like his white brother. They are subject to lung troubles. Some are consumptive. This and the small-pox and other dis eases are decimating their ranks. Ten years ago there wore 3,000'Osages; to day only a little over half that number. The mothers die prematurely. You find comparatively few old squaws. The tribe being rich aa a community very- few of the men will work. They live in idleness, and that is fatal to a longevity based upon active outdoor life.—Cor. Burlington Hawkeye. Scieace aad Love. British sages have been considering the science of falling in love. At the recent British association : meeting. Sir George Campbell suggested that a vast race improvement would be brought about by pairing individuals according to physiological fitness instead Of .‘yield ing to foolish ideas about love. This has led Mr. Grant Allen to show that the in stinct of love is usually excited by com plementary natures and the biologically excellent traits of youth, beauty, health and strength. This condition is most favorable to improvement, and justifies the old theme of the novelist and the poet. It is marriage on some other basis—for money, rank or other practical reasons—that results in deterioration.— Arkansaw Traveler. A Wraiti W -AntiuUa Leave*. How hard it is to keep apace and abreast of all the new agonies. It is now quite the proper idea for a young lady to entwine a wreath of autumn leaves of beautiful colors, and attaching a big bow of flame-colored ribbon thereto, to have it transported to her best voang man, per district messenger boy, if the boy ever gets there. The double-dyed significance of this mark of friendship is. “The years are passing. Young man, what do you intend to do about it?” If tbe aforesaid young man is at ail bright, he labels one of tbe golden leaves $50,000 and pins it up on the wall as his high mark of ambition. When he reaches that figure he hires a clergyman.—Hartford Post. A New Consumption Core. A new cure for consumption has been originated by a German doctor. He makes his patients pass the night in the open air of the Thuringian forest, well wrapped up, and sleeping in light ham mocks so as to avoid all damp from the ground.
