ewup the Sponge- i me, Maud.,’ The'voice of the young man ircm bled with the intensify of his passion “From my home in the shadow of .Bunker Hill monument 1 have come •o plead with you, Maud. I have taken a solemn vow that I will neither cat, dr that I will neither cat nor sleep,” he continued, “till this, the most momentous question of my whole life, is settled once for all.” The glorious dark eyes ol the proud Mohutncntal City girl sank beneath the burning gaze. Her cheek glowed with an unwonted flush, and she lap ped the carpet irresolutely with her foot. She was not to be won without a struggle, but her heart pleaded for the youth who stood before her. “Mr. Blacksorrcl,” she said, “arc, differences of temperament, irrecon cilable prejudices relating to locality, pride of ancestry, civil loyalty, and —” "All these, Maud,” he protested vehemently, “are mere straws that loat on the surlacc, but arc powerless to stay the progress of the irrcsistable passion that sweeps me on and that will bear you, too* on its bosom, my proud beauty, in spite of the influence that—” “Have a care, Mr. Blacksorrcl!” ex claimed the imperious maiden, her eyes flashing. “The old Boston ideas of coercion are—” “Are distasteful to the patrician in tolerance and majestic self-hood of Baltimore’s blue-blooded nobility. I know it, Maud. But love sweeps away all bariers, levels all ranks, oblit erates all local landmarks, and changes the face of nature Itself." The maiden shook her head and sighed tremulously. "Would—would it change deep- rooted and inbred convictions and pref erences, Mr. Blacksorrcl, as—as to habjts of daily living, involving such rjfttisijions as literature, recreation, diet—” "Diet!” he broke in "It would! It would! With the communion of soul with soul there would come to you nr time a calm tolerance of that which is leguminous and brain-producing. With the longings of my heart satis fied, I could raise my hand and swear by every impulse of my being, every fibre of my frame, that my physical nature needed terrapin! Oh, Maud!” he exclaimed rapturously, as he folded the radiant Southern beauty in his arms and drew her to his bosom, "ia the arena of love have not Boston en durance and habits of training triumph ed over Baltimore even as—as—the other day, you know, down in Missis- ippi—in short, is not history repeating itself?” "It is, Harold,” she murmured, with her head on the young man’s shoulder. "I throw up the sponge.”—Chicago Tribune. _ A Word-Picture by Mrs. Lew Wallace. One of the pretty word-pictures made by Mrs. Lew Wallace is her ac count of the Ilosporous at that point where the sweet waters ol Asia meet the rapid currents of this river. Here it is: "Would you have one day like the stuff which dreams arc made of, an idyllic day, that will stand apart from other pictured memories .far and near, go to the Valley of Sweet Waters, the beauty spot of the Bosporous. In the lazy afternoon it is the resort of lovely ladies, pallid as lilies, robed in vaporous draperies of snow drift and thistle-down scented with rose and musk- White veils, dim, mysteri ous, hide their fares, all but swim ming, lustrous eyes. Old what eyes they have! Bright as stars, black as death, dreamy pictures, they make, reclining on the crimson cushion of the rocVing carique, which is Jdraped with India shawls or Persian hangings. The armed slave in the stern is clad in barbaric splendor, the rowers in wide, white trousers and scarlet jackets, stiff with golden embroidery. Greek boat men, bearing the old names that can nearer die.”- GEORGE FEARN, 1U1 iSTATE AGI\T, OFFICE IK MITCHELL HOUSE BLOCK. Cilj ill Cottrj froftrh for Sale.
