•Fate is against us,” he wrote; “I feel
as if I shall never be able to call you
mine. ’
In the middle of the day she again sent
to inquire after her lover, and was over
powered when she heard he was much
be Lor. and was even thinking of getting
up, liis recovery be ing fair to be as sud
den as hi j seizure.
That evening Maj. Henderson returned,
Hardly had he knocked at the door, when
Mr. Browne emerged from the opposite
cottage.
• • V# hat news, sir?” asked the sympa¬
thetic Mr. Browne.
* * i 1 h* worst possible,” replied the
major, throwing himself into an easy
cliair. and covering his face with his
imuds. “That poor girl yonder is a beg
gar, and I have hilt a hundred a year
left.”
Maude looked from one to the other in
utter bewilderment, and then crossed over
to her uncle, trying to comfort him and
gain some explanation at the same time.
•‘I feel this is no scene for a stranger
to witness.” said Mr. Browne. ‘’Sir, you
have my deepest sympathy, and I am
sure that the present moment I can show*
it in no better way than by withdraw
* •»
mg.
Maude followed her lover to the door.
She was much distressed on her uncle’s
account, but did not fully realize her own
loss of fort une.
“Are you really better, dear Jack?”
she asked anxiously.
“Yes, thank you. Quite cured. Good
by,” and he was gone.
That her lover’s h ave taking was a
little abrupt did strike Maude; die wm,
however, far too confused by the turn
affairs had taken to attach much impor¬
tance to the first circumstance.
When she returned to her uncle he
seemed wonderfully better, and at sup¬
per he talked cheerfully of their future.
Maude passed another sleepless night,
fcibe did not so much mind the LcviLle
loss she bad sustained on her own ac
count, but she was bitterly disappointed
that she could not do all she fiad prom¬
ised for her dear Jack. She determined,
however, to be the most loving and
economical wife possible. At all events,
her undo would not be able to accuse
Jack of being mercenary now, and there
was much comfort in that reflection.
Perhaps, after all. they would be able to
have a proper wedding, only, of course,
it would have to be a very quiet one.
How much nicer that would be than run¬
ning away and deceiving her uncle, who
had always been so kind to her.
When she came down to breakfast the
next morning she was looking pale and
a little worn after her two sleepless
nights. The major, however, seemed to
have succeeded in throwing off his grief
in quite a wonderful manner, and was in
almost Lis usual spirits.
4 • Have you heard how Mr. Browne is
this morning?” Maude ventured to ask
the lundladv’s daughter. >
* »
» » Why. miss, he paid me for the week
and went off by the mail train last night,
declaring lie was sure the place didn’t
suit him."
* Poor Maude! The blow did indeed
fall on her with crushing force.
i 4 Dear me, rather sudden! We shall
miss the old gentleman, eh, Miss Maude?”
said the major, as soon as the uncle and
niece were left togetlier. He laid a slight
stress on the adjective, and there was a
suspicion of fun in his eye. It was, how¬
ever, no laughing matter to Maude; she,
poor girl, nimble longer to act her part,
bust into an uncontrollable fit of weep
itig.
“Poor child, poor child!” said the
major, compassionately; “it’s a sharp
lesson for you to learn. But it is better
to bear a little pain now than to suffer
for the remainder of your life, as would
most probably have lieen your fate if I
had not paid that scoundrel out in his
. oln

i gone no nearer to London than the top
room in Honeysuckle cottage,
The truth was the major had discovered
what wa3 going on when hp had come
upon the lovers unexpectedly. He then
[ devised a s«heme which he afterward
j ■ carried out sincerity so successfully, of Lieut. in Maple- order
; to test the
son’s attachment to Maude. Maj. Hen
j derson take the had, landlady of course, into his been confidence, obliged and to
j she, fully entering into the spirit of the
thing, had suggested the major occupy¬
ing the top room in her cottage, whence
he could watch Mr. Browne’s move
merits. And so '. Henderson had
merely walked to the station, portman
i teau in hand, and, returning, had en
! tered Honeysuckle cottage by the back
way.
Maude’s grief and humiliation were so
real when she heard these details that her
j uncle, thinking she would not care to re
main where her story was known, wisely
suggested returning home the following
day.
“We can give a garden party or some¬
thing of that kind in honor of your 21st
birthday. It will be a few days after
the event, but that won’t matter. 1
would give a good deal to see that young
fortune hunter s face when he finds out
how he has been duped. There * no fear
of his tittle tattling about it, though, lor
his own sake, so the story won't get ail
over the town. 1 suppose, my dear,”
added Maj. Henderson, rather anxiously,
4 4 you’ll never let him again-tfind the way
to your kind little heart with his honeyed
words?”
Maude drew herself qp to her full
height, “No, indeed, uncle, that I never
will, To use his own words, I am quite
cured.”
Before the year was out another suitor
asked for Maude’s hand, and on this oc¬
casion the anxious pleader did not have
any cause to complain of Maj. Hender¬
son’s obstinacy.—Chambers* Journal.
Educutlon in Germany,
The Germans are rapidly developing a
system of evening continuation classes
which carry on education for two or three
years longer. In Saxony the boys who
leave the primary school, if they do not
go to the higher schools, must attendTorn
three years longer—say until they are 17
—continuation classes for at least five
hours per week. But teaching is pro¬
vided for them, and they are encouraged
to attend twelve hours per week. So
complete is this system that even the
waiters at the hotels up to the age of 17
attend afternoon classes, and are taught
one or two foreign languages. I take
Saxony as one of the most advanced
states, but the law is much the same in
Wurtemberg and Baden, and the system
is found to work so weU that it is in con¬
templation to extend it to all the states in
the German empire, and Austria will
probably follow suit. This is confidently
expected to happen in the course of 1888.
I may shite as an undoubted fact that
in Germany and Switzerland, and I be¬
lieve in some other continental countries,
the opinion is ripening into a conviction
that the education, even of the poorest
class, should be continued in some form
or another to the age of 16 or 17. They
find by experience that wherever this is
adopted it gives an enormous advan¬
tage to the people in the competition of
life, and, above all, trains them to habits
of industry and mental application. I be¬
lieve it is owing to this system of thorough
education that Germany has almost ex¬
tinguished the paui>er and semi-pauper
class which is the bane and disgrace of
our countrv.—London V Times.
