A LITTLE WILD APPLE TREE.
Thore’R a little wild apple tree out in the pas
ture.
Crooked and stunted and queer in its shape,
And it waves its long anna ua the summer
winds sway it,
As if it were trying its best to escape.
I have never found fruit on its gnarled, twist
ed branches;
Green moss clothes its trunk from its boughs
to its feet.
But it blossoms each spring with the best of
the orclinrd,
And, oh, but its delicate blossoms are sweet 1
On the north by the orchard the pasture is
bounded.
There decorous applo trees stand in straight
rows;
You can see that each tree has been carefully
planted
And feels it must carefully heed how it
growa.
But ’tis the wild tree that tho “high hole” has
chosen;
She found such a beautiful plnco for her nest.
The orchard is pleasant—X highly respect it—
But the little wild apple tree 'tis I love best!
—Margaret Vandegrift in Youth’s Compuuion.
A RHINE STORY.
The Misses Ladford walked across
tho read from tho German station to
the small hotel.
“And now,” complained tho elder
Miss Ladford, ‘‘l suppose we shall have
more unintelligible argument at this
ridiculous hotel. Not a soul to speak
English or French, and”—
“We shall manage,” said her young
sister, hopefully. The porter carrying
their luggage pushed open the door, and
they stepped into a big, square room,
with a pewter covered bar at the side.
A few men wero playing with grubby
cards in a corner. Tho proprietor
shuffled forward and took his pipe from
his mouth reluctantly.
“Bah!” cried tho elder Miss Ladford.'
“That’s not German,” remarked her
young sister cheerfully. “Kellner, ein
zimmer.”
If young Miss Ladford had known
the German for hotel proprietor, she
would not have called him a w T aiter. It
was unfortunate, because the proprie
tor’s brow clouded at the word "kell
ner,’’and lie appeared to be instructing
the porter to take the luggage outside.
Tho two ladies stared at each othor dis
tressealy.
“Can I be of any uso?”
“Mr. Wallis!” cried the young sister
delightedly.
“Mr. Wallis!” remarked Miss Lad
ford distantly.
In a few words the young man ex
plained everything to the offended hotel
proprietor; in a few more words he in
formed the ladies that he, too, had ar
rived by the train from Berlin, and
that, finding the last train for Luxem
bourg had gone, he had said a few
words—
“lam glad you did that,” said Miss
Ladford.
and had come straight across to
the hotel. Mr. Mark Wallis farther
mentioned that he had ordered supper
for ono; while the ladies were up stairs
he would amend the order and make it
supper for three. A stout, apple faced
maid appeared and prepared to conduct
them stolidly up the broad wooden
staircase to their room.
“Mr. Wallis,” said Miss Ladford,
“we quarreled, I’m afraid, at Bai
reuth. ’
“No, no,” replied the young man,
flushing. “Don’t dignify our argument
to that extent. It was a mere difference
of opinion.” Ho glanced at tho young
sister, who was following tho apple
cheeked maid.
“You made some unkind remarks in
your journal last winter about my play
ing, and I felt bound to tell you that I
resented those criticisms. We had been
good friends too.”
“I tried to be fair, Miss Ladford. I
had every reason not to bo unkind.”
“Every reason?”
“Every reason.”
She hesitated a moment and then held
out her hand.
“Shall we forget all about it, Mr.
Wallis?”
“It will give megreat pleasure, ” said
the young man earnestly. And, being
in a foreign laud where courtly aots can
be done without creating derision, he
lifted her gloved hand and kissed it.
Such a supper party that night in the
bare boarded dining loom of the sleepy
little hotel at Kaithaus, and such de
termination on Mark Wallis’ part to
propitiate Miss Ladford—so much gen
eral good humor indeed that the chromo
of the Emperor William ou tho walls
stared as though half inclined to assume
that tho laughter approached loze ma
jesty. Eveu the apple cheeked servant
became infectod by the general gayety
and served the dishes with positive
cheerfulness, crowning tho evening,
when supper was over and Mark Wallis
had lighted a cigar and had said good
night, by remarking (as she took tho two
pairs of shoes from the tired young wo
men and closed their door) in a confiden
tial whisper, "Jarring cross!” and dis
appeared with the air of one who has
said a reassuring and a comforting word
to English women in a strange land.
“He improves ou acquaintance,” re
marked Miss Ladford.
“Who, dear?”
“Why, Mr. Wail is, of course.”
“Oh I”
“I disliked him extremely wiien I
met him at first.”
“Because of that notice?”
“That was the principal cause. ”
“Musical critics, ” said the younger
lady casually, “have a hard task to per
form.”
“And some of them. hardly perform
it. But I’m quite sure now, dear, that
Mr. Wallis did not mean to be unfair.”
Miss Ladford went ou argumentatively,
as though trying to persuade her youn
ger sister to abandon an indefensible po
sition in the debate. “So much depends,
Alice, on tho point of view in these
I matters. Mark Wallis being so strong
Ia Mozart Worshiper, you see, he uatu
| rally enough”—
“Is Mr. Wallis going by our train in
tho morning?”
‘1 hopo bo,” said Miss Ladford.
■ “You have changed your opinion,
dear, about him? I’m so glad. ” Alice
Ladford kissed her elder sister affec
tionately.
“A woman who doesn’t change her
opinion,” &ia Miss Ladford dogmatic
ally, “is as tiresome as one who never
changes her hats. I don’t know which is
worse.”
It seemed that everybody in the little
hotel awoke early the following morn
ing. At 6:30 the round cheeked maid
came up with ceffeo and rolls, and theso
they had near to tho open window that 1
lookod on the square iu front of the sta
tion. Miss Ladford, iu admirable spirits
and enjoying now the whole adventure,
saw Mr. Mark Wallis below and re
marked to her young sister that she sup
posed she had better go down in order
to make-sure about tho Luxembourg
traiu. Alice Ladford cordially seconded
this resolution and said that she for her
part would rather stay up stairs and
write.
“Train doesn’t go till 8,” said Mark
Wallis cheerfully. “There’s nothing to
see at Karthaus, so I thought of having
a look round. ”
“I am tired of sightseeing,” re
marked Miss Ladford. “This will have
all the charm of novelty. May I coma
with you?”
“I want you to.”
“Doesn’t mutter about a hat, does it?
Nobody knows us.”
“Nobody knows us here,” he agreed
lightly. "In- town we are of course im
portant people. At least you are. Critics
don’t count. ”
They walked down the principal lane
at the village. The sun was in 'its
pleasantly decorous mood, less obtrusive
than it bad been, but showing neverthe
less a polite attention. Two stout ma
trons at their doorways remarked to
each other confidentially that she was
older than he, and after some haggling
decided that there was a difference of
five years.
“Nearly everything happens for the
best in this world, ” said Mark Wallis.
“If that train had not been late last
night, it would have been long perhaps
before I had a chance of making my
peace with you.”
"I cannot permit,” sho said.quaint
ly, “any reference to a former discus
sion."
“Asa matter of fact, I particularly
want to be on good terms with you,
Miss Ladford. I haven’t many enemies,
and I do not want to think of you as
one of them.”
“I believe,’’she said quietly, pulling
a blade of grass as they walked along,
“that wo are going to be very excellent
friends. ”
“I’m so glad!” he cried honestly.
“Indeed, I hope that we shall be some
thing moro. ” She did not Jock at him,
and he went on. “Do you know, Miss
Ladford, I feel very much the want of
companionship at home? I’m almost 28,
but already I am beginning to dread
the possibility of journeying through
my life a lonely traveler. Twenty eight
is not too young for a man to marry, is
it?”
She shook her head uud put her hand
for a moment to her throat. Her
thoughts went back swiftly to her first
and last proposal. Dear, dear, what a
long tinio ago that was—nearly ten
years ago, she feared! She remembered
how she had refused the offer because
6ho had an idea that it would ho foolish
to say “Yes” to the first. And since—
Miss Ladford remembered this with a
little sigh—there had not been a second.
“What I mean to say is,” said Mark
Wallis, with nervous enthusiasm, “that
the time comes to every man when ho
meets someone ho really likos. If ho
misses that chance, it is quite likely
that an oxactly similar opportunity
may never occur again. And, although
it may appear very sudden to you, Miss
Ladford, it’s not really sudden, you
know. ’ ’
The poor blade of grass was getting
terribly maltreated. For a self possessed
person, Miss Ladford appeared singular
ly tremulous. She found, that when sho
lifted her eyes from the ground the neat
little cottages danced.
“I think—l think we had better re
turn,” sho said hesitatingly. “Wo
mustn’t miss the train, and we ought
not to keep my sister waiting.”
! “Oh, Alioo won’t mind!” ho said
cheerfully.
“She’s a dear girl, ” said Miss Lad
ford, endeavoring to regain her self pos
session. “Although she’s my sister, X
have never quarreled with her.”’
“She can keep a secret too.”
“When you know iier better, Mr.
Wallis, you will find that she is quite
unlike me. That is why we get on so
Wbll together, I think. I don’t like to
think that I shall ever have to say good
by to her. ’ ’
“It won’t be quite saying goodby,”
urged Mark Wallis. “You see, a honey
moon” —
“We must talk about it,” she inter
rupted shyly, “when we meet in town. ”
“I would rather know now,” he said.
“Until we reach Luxembourg, then.”
“No. no,” he said good humoredly.
He took her hand and placed it on his
arm. “I must know now. Your sister
will be anxious.” Her hand trembled.
“Point of fact, Miss Ladford, I want
Alice to marry me as soon as we get
back to town, if you don’t mind.”
The way seemed very long back to
the little hotel, and the sunshine ap
peared strangely blurred. Nevertheless
Miss Ladford, like a sensible woman,
said no word until sho reached the
Bahuhof, where her pretty young sister
was waiting. Then she wont up to her
aud kissed her.
“I—l don’t mind,” she said unstead

Ills Regret.
“I regrot to observe,” said Skillton,
“that there is to be another yacht race
for the America’s cup.”
“Regret? Why, it indicates that
England and the United States are com
ing together again !" raid .tones.
“That’s just it,” sum Hkiilton. “We

H Did Not Uecoarnize Whey.
The special correspondent of a well
known trades paper furnished a most
satisfactory laugh awhile ago for a
friend of his who lives up in northern
New York state, and lie does not know
it yet. Ho hadgono up tho state to visit
some mill or other, and tho before men
tioned friend volunteered to drive him
over to bis destination. Now, whilo the
special correspondent lias a wonderfully
general fund of information ho knows
little about the country, and when they
were passing a largo cheese factory he
exclaimed: “Why, there’s a creamery!
Just wait a minute while I go in and
get a drink of buttermilk. ”
With this ho jumped out cf the car
riage aud entered the building. My
country friend says that whey is not
pleasant to take and that even tho pigs
won’t eat it. But when tho special cor
respondent asked for buttermilk the
people in the factory gave him a big
glass of thin, aciduous liquid, which ho
swallowed down at a draft. The drivo
was then continued. The special corre
spondent seemed to be very thoughtful
He finally exclaimed in his oxplosive
fashion:
“Well, Smith, I don’t know what
breed of cows you raise up here, but
that was the dr,rudest buttermilk I ever
tasted. ” —Paper Mill.
Two at a Time.
One evidence of tho ever hustling char
acteristics of tho average New Yorker is
shown on the stairways of the up town
station cf tho olevated railroad at Park
place aud Church street. Tho steps of
these stairways are covered with rub
ber, but every other stop has largo iron
rings imbedded in tho rubber.
This was caused by tho faot that tho
New Yorker is newer content to wait
even one minute for a train, and that
when ho hears ono approaching ash 6 is
at the foot of tho stairs he will rush up
tho stairs two steps at a time hoping to
catch tho train.
Asa result tho elovated railroad offi
cials noticed that tho rubber matting on
every other step was wearing out twice
ae quickly as the rest. For a long time
they pondered as to the cause, and one
day Manager Fnuisioli soU * •! the prob
lem. To know was to act- in his case,
and the steel re-enforced rubber now
lasts if anything longer than the or
dinary mats on tho other steps.—New
York Sun.
Victor IInr;.o In Exile,
I live near tho sea in a house built CO
years ago by an English privateer and
called Huuteville House. I, a represent
ative of the people aud an exiled sol
dier of the French republic, pay droit
de poulage every year to tho queen of
England, sovereign lady of the Channel
islands, as Duchess of Normandy and
my feudal suzerain. This is one of the
curious results of exile.
I live a retired life here with my
wife, my daughter and my two Eons,
Charles and Francois. A few exiles
have joined me, and wo mako a family
party. Every Tuesday I give a dinner
to 15 little children, chosen-from among
the most poverty stricken of tho island,
aud my family and I wait on them. I
try by this means to give this feudal
country an idea of equality and frater
nity. Every now and then friend
crosses the sea and pays me a visit.
These are cur gala days. I have soma
degs, some birds, seme flowers. I hope
next year to have a small carriage and
a horse. My pecuniary circumstances,
which had been brought to a very low
ebb by the coup d’otat, have been some
what improved by my book “Les Miser
ables. ” I get up early, Igo to bed early,
I work all day, I walk by tho sea, I
have a sort of natural armchair in a
rock for writing at a beautiful spot
called Firinain bay, I do not smoke, I
cat roast beef like an Englishman and I
drink beer like a German, which does
not prevent the Espana, a clerical news
paper c.f Madrid, from asserting that
Victor Hugo docs not exist and that
the real author of “Les Miserables” is
called satau. —Letters of Victor Hugo.
Growing Old.
Hb —Carrie, you don’t seem to care
so much for me as you did when we
were first married.
She—As for that matter, I don’t
think so much of my hat as I did when
I got it just before Easter. — Boston
