I thought myself the happiest crea lure alive that evening as we turn* e into the paths of.lhe park aud took our way to the ramble- Then j'H to-day. it w as patronized by iov o;s <»t the humbler classes, but Ag was very fkfnl of walking them, Indeed, it was sho who had 'proposed going there that evening, i renu mber jusi where w« sat down on one of the benches near tho lake, A iiltlo way irom us tat auotlier couple, who vvero affVciionate enough to excite my envy, though tin nil! wore a long, nhapeless lin¬ en tilsicr. and a hat with a blue veil lied about it. There was no one else in sight, and the moonlight 8u bright tSmt tve could sec a loug distance. A cartain chill hud come into the au', which Lad driven moist of tho happy couples home, and I had naked Agues if it was unpleasant, and she had replied that it was de¬ licious, and 1 was not j’et old enough to feel anxious about the changes of the weather. Usually vve went home earlier, but it was so delightful to me to sit there done with her that I was careful to n uke no remark about the lime. Suddenly Agnes said to me: ‘Avihnr, I suppose you will think mo very silly, but 1 can’t help tau* eying that tome one i$ hiding be* hind that large oak-tree yonder. I feel nervous about it. Eveiy now r.nd then n face peeps from behind tho bushes.' ‘A lace?' said i. ‘Yes, said she, tiingnig to my arm. ‘And r t frightens me.’ •There is no ono there,’ said I. ‘It i.s all imagination.’ ‘I can't help feeling as if it was some one u ho intended ns harm.’ ' Ag e* l- alrr,' n*e mrN»ns1y. *1 sec what yofi |&4&a said ‘It is a bunch ot veliow leaveR or. a bush beyoi g the oak. which the wind now and then blows into sight.’ She gave a curious little laugh. •You iray ho right/ Agnes raid. •It is perhaps, ai; my own nervous¬ ness, but there it is again.

It was not long before the matter ceased to be a joke. The loving couple wore still seated on the neighboring bench, absorbed in each other, ‘I beg pardon, sir,’ 1 said, ad* dressing the man. ‘The young la dy who was with mo—havo you seen her? 1 left her alone fora moment while I examined some* thing that alarmed her, and I find her gone.’ ‘No one has passed us here.’ said the young man, rising. ‘Juno did notice any one?' The girl in the ulster and bluo Voi! shook her head, ‘No,’ said the young man. ‘Per* mit me to help you to look for tbo lady?' Wo searched the spot anxiously for half an hour, my heart beating like a drum with terror. 'Then he said: ‘You hud better notify the park police, sir, uuless you foci sure that tho lady wasn't just a little huffy, and hasn’t gone home by herself,to vox you- That’s like women folk.’ He was very eivii, but be was ovidont.’y a com monish sort of per¬ son. For u girl ot Miss G 's position and manners to show ‘vex¬ ation’ by going home after dark in a ‘huff was impossible, but l took the suggestion, As wo parted he promised to remain where he was for awhile, and if Agnes should re* turd to see her safely out ot tho park on her way ho mo ward. Having sent a messenger to Mr. Van G-, I remained with those who scarehed the park, and short* ly wo wore joined by tho father of Agnes, who, according to his na* taro, was more furious than fright ened, and abused nic heartily for leaving his daughter, even for a moment alone 1 could not blnrne him—I was full of self reproach. Bui it was many days before 1 ac¬ cepted tho terrible truth—that I should never see Agnes again. Everything was done that it was possible for energy or money to do bat wc never found a trace of her. Gradually 1 came to tho conclusion that she nad been murdered, and that her body had been so well concealed that t could never be found. Mr. Van G-belies cd as I uid. •‘The only obedient child I ever had/ ho said; ‘the others are all without a sense of fioai duty.

A word to tho wise le sufficient. MR. and MRS. BOWSER. BY MRS. BOWSER. HAD had u secret from Mi Bnwser for fully six weeks, and the fact so weighed on my conscience tnat, when be came home the other evening, 1 bunded him a newspaper and remarked: ‘Mr. Bowser,* will you do me the honor to root that little poem?’ ‘Wh</ i» it by?’ he asked. ‘Bead it/ Ho read it and pronounced it a little gem, and then I wu» weak enough to lull him 1 was the au* thor. ‘Oh, you are, eh! That account* for it.’ ‘For what? ‘For the naraby pamby style, the wildness of the rhyme, and tho big* glety-pigglety way iu which it reads.’ ‘Then you dont like it?’ ‘Humph! You'd bettor stick to housework!’ ‘Every bod}' el so say* it’s good I havo also written several little stori«« which hav* bo* n pronounc¬ ed first class ’ ‘Then they lied to you/ ‘Perhaps they did but 1 don’s think so. Min bo you could d© better?’ ‘iluybvd 1 know I could! The only reason 1 haven’t mado a name in the liteiury world is bccau*e I’ve been t<»<» busy with real eniuie mat* tens. I was jus-1 thinking as I C .tut homo li.is evening iLai 1 d dash off something as a starter u\\ NO 14. ‘•I hope you can.*’ lie turned away in disgust, and after supper ho went into the libra¬ ry aud closed the folding doors, aud sat down to work. I carefully pull* od one of the doors open until I couid see bun. lie got out pen, ink and paper briskly enough, but then camo a pause. He scratched bis head, carosscd his car, toyed with tho pen and it was a good half-hour before ho got a name for his poem. “Mr. Bowsor! ’ 1 called from the other sido of the door, “havo you got it finished?” “Finished! I haven,t been in here two minutes yet. 1 don’t pro* pose to writo tiftsb.” It was just twoutyafivo minutes by tho sitting room clock befors ho bogan on tho first line after select* ing tho title, and when h« cams out at 10 o’clock I knew ho had only tbreo lines finished. Tlioso he had copied and recopied a doz on different times. ‘Though?’ I quoried as he up* peared. ‘Mighty anxious, aren’t you! he sneered- ‘You may boo my effort wlu-u it is in print, but not before.* For tho next six evenings Mr, Bowsor was closeted with himself and that poem.^ Then, ‘a* I knew by his general demeanor, bin work wits finished. I crept down stairs after ho was asleep and found it in tho desk, all ready for mailing. The first vorso ran as follows: “The leaf is falling—tho wind is sob¬ bing. And tho autumn is at hand so dreary and forlorn. And tho embers of tho dying year must remind all of ns ThaVevery thingjdios—every tin ng that was ever born.”’ Thero wero eleven orher verses, all of tho same piece of goods, and covered nn inch deep^with tho em* bers "of the dying year. I crept baok to bed to find Mr. Bowaer resting on his back and wearing a sweet smile of eonfldonce and sat¬ isfaction. Next morning I careless* ly inquired: * ‘Don’t yon want mo to look oror that poem with yon before yon send it off?’ ‘What for?’ ‘Porhaps I could suggest some changes for the bettor/ ‘You improve my poem! Well, it that isn’t assurance! I wouldn't ho as conceited as yon are for a ton of gold/ 'But my literary efforts have teen published and are woli spoke e» oi* ‘Nonsense! Tho editor know you wore my wife and your friends dare not condemn it to your face. Drop it, Mrs. Bowsor—drop it and decorate jugs and crocks.’ I didn’t say any mors, but watch¬ ed every issue of the papor I knew he would send it to. Ho also did the same, but very slyly. After about a week i observed. ‘Has your poem appeared yet Mr. Bowser?’ 'I think not, I havo neitlior re¬ ceived a bundle of copies of tho is »ae containirg it, or had a lettor roia the editor, I dont look for it under another week. I presume tile editor took it home to read to his family, and it may now be passing around among the literati.” ‘Suppose it should bo rejocled/ ‘W-h-a-t ! * bo exclaimed, leap¬ ing out of his chair and dancing around. ‘Publish your sawdust and reject my pure gold! Mrs. Bowser you bavo tomo queer ideas —very queer.’ ‘In caso it is not published I hope 'But it will be published!’ 1 aaid no more, and he turned to bis papor. Half an hour later there was a ring at the bell, and Mr. Bowser went to answer it and ad* mitted a strange man. The strange maa handed Mr. Bowser a letter from the editor of the paper to which ho had sent his poem. I got hold of only about half of it. it introduced the stranger as all right, and advised Mr. Bowser to close with his offer. Continued on 4th page.
