ujj TUo dd inqtien t,
a hlim, bare-head
cd girl, with the humor still lurking
about her scarlet lips, returned his !
stare with interest.
Brian llenuessy’s mouth quivered
into a smile beneath the brown mus
tache.
“V* hat in the joke?'' he a-ked.
Tho girt utrngglad to regain her
composure.
* “I really must beg your pardon,*’ |
*ho said in a clear, sweet voice, ‘‘but
your lament was so exceeding dolor* j
ous, aud so—so ”
‘Tiomarkably tuneful.”
“Thauk you!” gravely. “So re
markably uutuneful, that l could not ]
refrain from laughing at yon. It was
very rude of me.”
“An l very natural,’* fail Brian, j
quickly struggling to his feet.
The sun was healing down with n '
fervent heat. Great lazy butterllies !
sailed slowly by. Away at their feet
the country unrolled itself in a pano- i
laruu of bog and moorlaud.
Behind them, a long, low, half- !
ruined house stretched its gray front \
along the hill.
Henuessy looked at his companion ;
ri itically. ile saw a girl, rather above ;
the nverftga height, clad in a cream- '
*oh>red flock, "which somth jw even to ]
him boro the impress of fashion. Out

dark eyes gazed fearlessly.

laughed flgaiu a low, rippling
laugh.
“It is your song which is to blame/’
fcbe said gayly. “I left my suubounet
over tiiere in my haste to see the—er
—singer,” a mischievous gleam in the
dark ere?.
He hurried around the little clump
and bundles and found the little bonnet
lying beside a bool:, which had fallen
opeu at the flyleaf. He could not fail
to see the inscription:
“Olive M. Dalryuiple.”
He sighed dismally.
‘ A grande demdsello arnsticat
ing,” lie murmured below his breath.
“Put on your very host society man
ners, Hennesay, my bo}’.”
The girl stood where he had left
her, a soft smile curving her lips.
“It is ho—l. know it is he,” she
thought quickly; the man whom ?drs.
Dolan said could coax a bird off a
tree with his blarney—poor Brian
Hcnueasy.”
“I have brought your book, too,
Miss Dalrymplo,” he said politely,
pushing his battered straw bat to a
more sober angle on his fair head,
“and perhaps I ought to introduce
myself—Brian Hennessy, at jour
service.”
She starcl and gazed at him in a
puzzled way.
“The hook lay open," he said half
apologetically, “and heuco my ”
“Ah, yes, thank you,” she said de
murely, hiding her laughing eyes be
neath her bonuet. “You are tire
‘landlord,’ aren’t you?”
“Er—well, yes; I suppose I am,”
agreed Jlenncssy, a trifle grimly, “at
present.”
“Oh!”—and she faced him quickly,
pain and pity in her eves—“how
thoughtless of me! Mrs. Dolan has
spoken of you. lam so very sorry.”
The man's strong, virile lace soft
ened into au indescribable sweetness.
“f thank von,” he said simply.
“Do yon know, Sir. Hennessy,”
she said presently, “that I came here
this afternoon with a purpose?"
“.Really!"—with a quizzical smile.
“Yes,” —gravely—'"I came to see
your home.”
He bowed low.
“I have heard so much abut it, and
you, from .Mrs. Dolan,” she Continued,
“that I am consumed with curiosity,”
"Is not that natural in a woman'!"
he ventured.
“Perhaps so,” —without relaxing
her gravity. “But, believe me, it is
not impertinent curiosity. I know the
Mr. Darlington who is foreclosing,
and his daughter, very well indeed.
Possibly I might ”
The man stiffened perceptible.
“My dear Misn Dalryinple,” he
paid, “I must beg of you to dismiss
any such idea at once. Mr. Darliug
ton is quite within bis rights, aad X
should bo the last person in the world
to question them. My loss will also, j
I regret to say, bn the tenant’s loss.
A man who can deal eo harshly with
me will not spare them. As for Mrs.
Doisn, T fear ehc allows her tongne to 1
wag much too freely.”
“It is for loro of you!” she cried
impulsively.
LOVE’S TVdABNY,

And murmur wearily.

A.ro stretched for me to take;

My ehains 1 would not break.
He turned liis back to her for a mo
ment, and his voice trembled a little
when next ho spoke.
“I know/* ho said softly; “she is
my foster-mother, and is prejudiced.”
“But all your tenants are alike,”
she said.
He did not answer her, but led tbo
way through a hole in the stone fence,
and across the old-fashioned gaydeu
to where the great oaken door stood
wide open, revealing a cool, dark hall
beyond.
Three or four dogs rushed boister
ously out, leaping up at him in an
ecstasy of canine joy.
“Mrs. Lyons will give us some tea,
T have no doubt,” he said, quieting
the dogs with a word.
Tho hour that followed was one of
the happiest ho had ever known. And
tho walk hack to Mrs. Dolan's in the
cool evening, with the tun sending
tong shafts of yellow light betwixt tbo
slender atoms of the lira in the planta
tion, and across tho purple heather,
was like a glimpse of Paradise.
And the spells of sweetly danger
ous silence were sweet to both alike.
11.
During the weeks which followed
Brian licouesay was torn by eon diet
ing emotions. Consumed by apassiou
ate love for the girl who was staying
with Mrs. Dolan, and recognizing, as
he did, tlie utter hopelessness of
fostering such an attachment. lie was
by turns recklessly gay ami deeply
despondent.
A few of the rougher spirits on the
estate did not fail to notice these fits
of despondency, and the hot blood ran
riot in their veius at the “tyranny” of
the man who was turning the master
out of house and home. Dark whisp
erings and muttered threats which
boded no good to Aft*. Darlington
were freely indulged in, and Rory
Devine polished up his old rifle with
ft grim look.'
But the loss of his home, which a
few short weeks ago bad seemed to
Hrian the worst calamity that could
befall him, had faded into utter iu
siguirtaauco beside the one groat ab
sorbing passion of his life.
11c feared with a dread the keen
ness of which struck him liko a dag
ger thrust, the inevitable parting which
he knew must now be close at hand.
Though poverty sealed his lips with
a peal that love strove m vain to break,
the continued struggle was telling
upon him, and the hopeless look in
his eyes often caused the heart of Mrs.
lonian’s pretty lodger to beat with a
wildness that startled her.
One dull, heavy morning, about a
month after their first inoetiug, Brian
came tramping down the moor aud
across the meadow, a couple of dogs
at liis heel?, and a look on his faco
.that caused Mr*. Dolan to remark;
“Sure, there’s Mister Brain, lookin’
for all the world as if he was going to
bo hung!”
A moment later he was in the cool,
? tone flagged kitchen, and gazing
hungrily at the occupant of the big
arm chair.
“It has come!” be said bitterly.
“Mr. Darlington arrives to-day by the
10.15 p. m. I shall fetch him iu the
dogcart from Coolardy.”
She gazed up at him with a soft lit
tle sigh.
“And I am leaving at noon,” she ex
claimed. “I have had letters from
home this morning.”
Hia lips twitched a little, and his
face paled beneathed the bronze.
“Then it is indeed the deluge!” was
nil he could manage to say.
How he passed the few hours that
remained before her departure he could
never recall. The whole world seemed
to slipping away from him; and when
ho drove her to the station and watched
the forlorn little face fade away as the
train bore her from his sight his heart
sank very low* indeed, and Jio turned
away with a groan he could not re
press.
Meanwhile Mrs, Dolan had not
been idle. The news of Mr. Dar
lington’s expected arrival had spread
far and near, and Rory Devine, with
two or three others, spoke in hushed
whispers of the loneliness of the road
from Cooiardy.
• * * * *
The little station platform looked
drear aud inhospitable as Brian stood
jnst outside the white gate the same
evening awaiting the arrival of the
ten-fifteen. The mare kept pushing
her velvety nose against his arm, as if
conscious of his trouble.
His patience was not too sorely
tried, however, for a few miuntes
later it ran slowly alongside the plat
form and deposited a solilary lady
passenger familiar in tho faint glim
mer shed by the lamps.
As she came toward the exit his
heart gave a great leap.
“Olive!” ho cried, a note of bowil
derment in his voice.
She laughed tremulously.
“Yes, it is I,” she answered.
“But how—where is Darlington?”
She laughed again, a little qnaver
ingly.
“Here,” she replied; “I am Mr.
Darlington.’”
“J must he Tery dense.” he said at
length; “but thare is some mystery
here that I cannot understand; Will |
you please explain?”
She shivered at the change iit his
voice, and laid one hand on his arni.
*'l will tell you as wo go along,”
she said.
He helped her to her seat and gath
ered up the reins.
Iu the darkness her lips were trem
bling piteously and her eyes were full
of tears.
“It is quite simple,” she said, as
they spun along. “I—l have taken
up the mortgage.”
Hia hands tightened on tho reins
involuntarily.
‘‘You?" lie said hoarsely.
Sho nestled closer to his side;
“Why not?” she asked;
Ho could not speak. Love aud
pride were lighting a hard battle. By
her action she had made the gulf be
twixt them well-nigh impassable.
If ho told her of his love—the love
which he now knew was reciprocated
—the world with its usual lack of
charity would call him “fortune-hun
ter.”
Ho breathed hard at tho thought.
“You arc not angry with me?” shs
sighed.
Before he had time to reply a spurt
of fire leaped from the thicket at the
side of the road, followed by a sharp
report, and, with a cry of agony* tho
girl fell heavily against him, slipping
in a huddled heap at his feet;
*****
It was a week later, and they were
seated on tho hillside where they first
met. Brian Henuessy’s lips were tell
ing the old, old story.
“I love you, Olive, beyond all!” he
cried, fervently kissing tho helpless
arm in the silken sling.
“And you will forgive poor Rory?”
“If you ask it,” ho replied gravely,
Tho girl smiled demurely.
“Then I think, Brian, we may con
sider it settled, For the future I shall
make my Home with you iu dear old
Paddy's Land,”
WORDS OF WISDOM.
The meek, the disinterested, the j
unselfish, those who think little of j
themselves and much of others—who j
think of the public good and not of i
their own—who rejoice in good done, j
not by themselves, but by others, by j
those whom they dislike as well as by j
those whom they love—these shall
gain more than they lose; they shall !
“inherit the earth” aud its fulness.
Without the resolution to do good j
work, so long ns yonvright bands have !
motion in them, and to do it whether ,
the issue be that you die or live, no j
life worthy the name will ever bo pos- \
sible to you; while, in once forming.
Mul ..llj.i’jng t o ,|ve ro.ol.Won tliM
your work iB to bo well done, life iu!
really won.
If there is one thing in the world
that should ho free from compulsion
of any sort it is a gift. Directly it is
associated with forceful urgency or
suggested by extraneous reasons, it i
loses all its grace and all its character. !
Enjoy the hlossings of this day and j
the evils of it hear patiently and
sweetly, for this day only is ours; we j
arc dead to yesterday, and we are not
yet horn to the morrow.
All growth, all strength, all uplift
ing; all power to rise in tho world, and
to remain nnrisen, comes from the
hold wo havo taken upon higher sur
rounding realities.
Force yourself to take an interest
iu your work aud tho cifort will soon
become a pleasure ius.tead of a hard
ship.
Difficulties of thought, acceptance
of what is without full comprehension,
belong to every system of thinking.
It is tho way in whioh we employ
odd minutes that counts for or against
us iu the ond.
The motives of men are lobe judged
more by their actions than by their
words.
The heart cannot always repress or
account for the feelings which sway it.
An hour of careful thinking is worth
more than ten of careless talking.
True education never induces con- i
tempt of the ignorant.
Live as though life were earnest,
and life will be so.
Tljo Uorse’ii Until.
The Bize of the head should be in
proportion to the rest of the body.
Artists and horsemen have agreed that
tho length of the head from the poll
to the extremity of the lips should j
bear a certain relation to the size of
the rest of tho body. This proportion :
is stated as follows: Tho height of the
body from the withers to the ground,
or the distauco between the points of
the shoulder and the hip joint Hhotild
be two and one-half times the length
of the head. It the distances are
more than two and one-half times the
length of tho head, it is too short; if
the reverse is the case, it is too long.
When tho head is tho proper length
it is cannedWith ea3o, responds easily
to the action of the bit, and does not
burden the front legs. If too long, it
is also too heavy, displaces tho center
of gravity forwards, hears heavily on
the reins, diminishing speed nnd pre
disposes to stumbling.
Puzzled the Frenchman.
A Frenchman boasting in company
that he had thoroughly mastered tho
English language, was asked to write j
the following dictation: “As Hugh
Hughes was hewing a yule-log from a
yew tree, a man dressed in clothes of
a dark line, come up to Hngh and said:
‘Have you seen my ewes?’ If you will
wait until I hew this yew, I will go ;
with you anywhere in Europe to look
for your ewes.’ ”
The first Australian newspaper, the j
Sydney Gazette, was published March
5, 1808, fifteen years after the rise of
the colony. The delay was caused
through there being nefprinters among
the convicts, who represented every !
profession, including the legal.

A speoial from Louisville nays: By

General W. B. Taylor, Republican,
has been elected governor of Kentucky
by n majority variously estimated
from 7,000 to 15,000 over Goebel,

Senator Hanna received the elec

Cleveland, O. At midnight ho made
the following statement:
“Under the conditions it has been
a splendid republican victory. The

republican party and a splendid one.
The result, so far as this county is

Uemocriits Win In Maryland.
According to a Baltimore dispatch
the Republicans of Maryland have
been defeated and John Walter Smith,
the Democratic candidate, has been
elected by a majority variously esti
mated at from 10,000 to 15,000. There
is a reasonable certainty that the low
er house of the general assembly will
be Democratic by a largo majority,
nnd that the Democrats will elect
enough state senators to overcome the
Republican advantage among the
hold-overs and thereby control both
branches of tho legislature.
The Democrats are wild with enthu
siasm, while the Republicans are cor
respondingly depressed over the re
sult, which they ere inclined to attrib
ute to treachery among the followers
of Mayor Malster and United States
Senator George L. Wellington. The
latter has taken no part in tho cam
paign and has not hesitated, since hia
resignation as chairman of tho state
central committee a few weeks ago, to
predict the overwhelming defeat of
the Republican ticket.
The gold Democrats, as an organi
zation, supported Governor Lowndes,
but they seem to have blit little if any
effect on the result.

but one of the Democratic candidates
on tho general ticket was elected.
Usual 1 (exult In Virginia.
A Richmond special nays: Tho
Democrats swept Virginia. The vote
was small, but the victory was decisive.
The Republicans probably never elect
ed so small a number of members of
the legislature. They did not make a
single fight.
Tho election was for one-half tho
members of tho senate and tho entire
membership of the house. No state
officers were chosen. Tho only issue
involved iu the campaign was the con
test made by Governor J. Hogo Tyler
against ihe re-election of Senator
Thomas S. Martin. The nominations
settlod this and insured the re-election
of Mr. Martin.
