This speech, uttered with feverish spirit, as Doris Drummond dragged off her gloves and threw them on the ta ble in a ball, was as a teombshell ; n tlie quiet room. ‘ Broken your engagement!" ejaculat ed Miss Hudson, dropping her knitting. “Nonsense!

No romance had ever touched her life save through her -sister's only ' child—sweet, spoiled Doras. Then she had thought so much of Dt. Oliver, too. He was considerably older than her niece. They had seemed exactly suited to each other and no dissension had ruffled their harmony hitherto. It ap peared inexplicable, until cite recajled how foolish her poor, dear sister Lizzie * was : how likely to fan her slaughter’s "resentment into a flame, iin sheer •t'hougiitlessncfts.

Heigh-ho! what it is to be young!” Could she believe her ears? So far from the expected torrent of words. Doris had only turned to the rose bushes, as if she could not near Terry’s straightforward eyes, and muttered, half audibly; “But—Terry; I could not. And Helen ” “Ob, yes, you could, and will.” he answered gently. “You will believe me against all the world; you will be lieve me through good and evil, as I will you. I know you better than you do yourself, you see.” She moved uneasily, and hid her face in her hands; then suddenly raised it. smiling through her tears, like one of her aunt’s roses washed in dew. •‘You do. Terry, and I will; indeed, I will!” she cried, earnestly. The listener did not wait to hear more, but fastened on her cap with trembling fingers and dim eyes, and hurried downstairs to order every good thing that she could devise for break fast before goiug out to summon her visitors.

It lias an almost hypnotic in fluence over the beasts. I have seldom heard of an animal being burned iu this manner, however, so there is nothing cruel in the treatment. It would not do for the keeper to burin fie charges under his care, fer the scars would mar the animal pr exhibi tion purposes.

A day or m before Thanksgiving one of the turkeys of the flock fed by the lady when the gem was lost was killed that it might adorn the festive Thanksgiving hoard. By a peculiar coincidence the same Indy was again visiting at the house.
