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 ily.—w. Pett Ridgs in Woman at Home. 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 were beginning to get along so nicely, mid now all the old troubles will bo re opened.”—Harper’s Baza a 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.
