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.

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.

Tiny arms A.ro stretched for me to take; Thy wee pink fingers touch my lips 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.

As Admiral Dew ey is not a Catholic, a special dispen sation was required for tho perform ance of the ceremony and this was procured from. Bishop Curtis* vical* general of the diocese of Baltimore. The ceremony consumed less than five minutes. Congratulations and felicitation followed aud the wedding party drove directly from the rectory to the residence of tho mother, Mrs. McLean, where a wedding breakfast was served. After arriving at the McLean resi dence Admiral Dewey was driven to his own house. There he changed his costume for a traveling suit,returning to tho McLean residence on foot. The wedding breakfast lasted an hour. There were present only the bride and groom, Mrs. McLean, Mrs. Ludlow, Lieutenant Caldwell and Frod Burgh er.

Bopublirnns Claim Koutiic'lif. A speoial from Louisville nays: By the combined effort of the Republi cans and anti-Goebelites, Attorney General W. B. Taylor, Republican, has been elected governor of Kentucky by n majority variously estimated from 7,000 to 15,000 over Goebel, Democrat. Returns received up to midnight also indicate the election of the oiitiro Republican ticket, while tho complexion of the legislature is in doubt The weather throughout the Mflte was perfect, and more than au average **oto was polled, tho total falling but ilttlo short of tho vote polled in t’.e last presidential election. Compara tively little disorder prevailed, and aside from several arrests for alleged violation of tho election laws, the elec tion was characterized by a remark able degree of qitiet. Governor Bradley remained in Lou isville during tho day and had the Louisville Legion in readiness for marching orders. The militia was called out after the close of the polls to enforce an injunction granted by a local judge, but tho presenoe of the militia was not needed and the com panies were soon ordered back to the armory. * Goebel llnl Not GtTn Up. A bulletin issued at 1 a. m.

Whilo Republicans are not willing to admit defeat, early figures point that w ay. There has been a steady falling off of the vote of both partieß, but whilo the fnsionists have suffered but little, the Republican loss has ot been less than three to a precinct. Mr. Bryan claimed Nebraska for the fusion ticket by 25,000. The Contest In Ohio. A special from Columbus, 0., was to tho effect that at 12:30 Wednesday morniug tho Republicans claimed that their plurality would exceed 60,000 with over 100,000 for Jonos out of a total of less than 900,000. The Re publican majority in the legislature is larger than usual, but, no senator is to bo elected. Judge Nash was serenaded after midnight at the Neal house. To an eutbniastic crowd ho made a brief speech, saying that the Ohio result was a message to Presdent McKinley that his homo state endorsed his adminis tration and presaged McKinley’s re nomination and re-election in 1900. The Republicans made their largest gains at the homes of Judge Nash, Senator Hanna and Chairman Dick. Democrats made their largest gains at tho the home ofr Mr. McLean. Tainmanj E’rctg Ticket.

Returns from state and city so far received indicate tlio Republicans will have about the jutrae majority in tho next assembly as in the last, tbo Dem ocratic gains in tho city being offset by loftsea in the smaller counties. Iu li3 assembly districts which have re ported, including twenty nine in tho city, 92 Republicans and 58 Democrats were elected, a Republican majority of 34, and a Republican gain cf AG seats. 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. South Dakota Republican. i Chairman Bowler, of the Democratic, state committee of South Dakota, has conceded tho election fit the Republican judges by 2,009. Tho Argus Leader claims the state by not loss than 10,000 for the Republicans. Democrats llaro Providence. The municipal election in Providence, R. 1., was a dull one and tho vote cast was light. Mayor Baker, Democrat, was elected for the third successive time by a plurality of about 2,100. Last year his plurality was 3,400. All 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. New Jersey IlemiblScan. Returns indicate that tho Republi cans in New Jorsey have carried tho state by about 20,000 plurality, al though there was no direct vote on a state ticket.
