Mine o’clock in the morning, but not a
awmlurc was visible outside; the matted
wclconics were empty, the hammocks all
OHMeeupied. Indeed, every room opening
; StouE the lower balcony was darkened ex

were reversed, and a faint breeze

“‘But surely to give a party is not such

“The people whom I entertain is a very
important affair indeed, Cassia.”
"Itearmc! I had not thought of it in
Mfbai’. light. I Should just invite all the I
dancers and nice people in the
awighborhood. There are plenty of nice
jpwwple around us.”
**Fortunately this is a very select neigh-;

*T want Herbert Rives to come to my j

“It is impossible, Cassie.”
■Cassia was silenced, but not convinced. ■
Ttoward evening she wont out to walk.

cassia met him hi the same?humor.
There was no formality ami no eml a' -
rassment, and the conversation drifted
insensibly into low, short sentences, made
wonderfully eloquent by p.issionate
glances and whispered querie-, that Cas
s’a answered only by smilesu.nd blushec
After this meeting Cassia was ex eed
ingly amiable and obedient, and she en
i tered with charming ease and interest
into all her mother s social p’ans The
ball list was made oat without any dis
sent or opposition.
The colonel was delighted; he took all
the credit to himself. “Cassia is a sen
sible girl; she saw that I meant what I
said, and she has accepted the situation
in a very admirable manner,” he said,
complacently.
Mrs. Bauvare smiled scornfully at the
self-complacent father. “Colonel,” she
replie 1, “of all the me.i I ever knew,you
are the most easily deceived. Cassia has
not accepted the situation; she has gone
round it, you may depend on that. If
she had accepted it she would never have
been so very pleasant about it. I dare
say she has met Herbert Rives some
where, and that she is meeting him every
day.”
“Great heavens! Mrs. Bauvare! why
did you not suggest this view of the case
before?”
“Because I have the ball on my mind
at present, and I < annot possibly attend
to two things at once, and do justice
to both. Beside. I was afraid, if I told
: you my suspicions, you might in some
: way or other mismanage things. ”
j It was the day before the ball, and the
' house was topsy-turvy. Cassia seemed
( to be far too busy to meet any one that
day, and the colonel felt himself so far
relieved from duty that he went off for
a long ride over the estate. Thus it hap
pened that, being detained several times
by the overseer, it was mid-afternoon
when he reached the little wood that was
Cassia's and Herbert’s trysting place. “I
will turn in there,*’ he said to himself,
“and have a smoke, and perhaps a siesta
under the trees,”
The lovers could not see him, and they
were fur too much occupied with their
own conversation to hear his approach.
Milly perceived the colonel first, and
made some fruitless attempts to warn the
careless couple, but they re illy saw noth
ing of their danger until the angry father
stood almost, before them.
His first feeling was that of fcompla
ency at having found Cassia out: but his
second, one of intense anger at her. He
handed her iier hut, which was lying on
the gruss, and said, with a severe polite
ness, “I presume Mr. Rives is not aware
that he is trespassing; there is, however,
a notice on yonder tree to that effect.”
‘ Oh,yes. he is, papa; but he asked my
permission to trespass on you fora little
rest and shade, and I gave him it.” She
said the last word wit lx an ominous flash
of light and color in her eyes and checks.
Herbert apologized with frank polite
ness, and seemed determined to win at
least a ceremonious courtesy from the
colonel. He spoke of the weather, ami
was answered with an infirmative bow;
and nt last, being desperately determined
to obtain ah invitation to the ball, he ■
said, “I hope you may have a pleasant
evening for your dance tp-inorrow, col
onel.”
The colonel stithy said he hoped so.
“1 have not been invited,” said Her
bert, ,with the charming straitforward
ness of youth. “I do wish that you
would ask me, colonel.”
The <‘olonel “believed Mrs. Bnuvore’s
list quite full,” and after that there was
nothing for Mr. Herbert to do but mount
his horse and gallop away.
“Papa. lam ashamed of you!” Those
were Cassia’s first words. “I nevgr
thought you could have been less than a
gentleman.”
“Cassia, 1 am ashamed of yon. I never
thought that you could have been less
than a lady.'
“1 never have been. If you were
going to shoot » man you would bow to
him. and treat him like a gentleman.”
“1 do not consider Herbert Rives a
gentleman.”
“I am sorry, for I am engaged to
him.”.
“Such nonsense !”
“And 1 intend to marry him.”
The colonel kept a stern silence, and
only showed his estnyme anger by the
passionate way in which he struck down
the grasses and flowers with his stick.
Tnc ball went off with great eclat, and,
in spite of the colonel, Herbert was pres
ent, not in th f - house, indeed, but in the
gardens, and on the balcony after the
guests were gme; and Cassia had spoktn
to him a dozen times- in fact, hud ar
ranged with him th ■ time and place of
the next mt eting.
For it was now a trial between wise
old pirents and a pair of dauntless
young lovers, and the lovers got the best '
of it. They in rt by night and they met 1
by day, and they never met twice in the j
same place. It was impossible to detect ;
their memges,or lay any plan to prevent
their meeting. Every servant on both !
plantations was in their interest, and ;
they had safe nnd happy meetings iu the :
shut-up drawing oon and the cool sweet •
dairy whey Cnnoncl Bauvare and Rives !
senior were seeking their disobedient
children a couple of miles away.
In the mean time troubhs of many i
kinds were gathering round both house
holds. Great political questions which (
had little to do with lote and lovers were '
tearing every city home in twain.
“Tut s.'are times when even a brave
man may honorably fly, but Cas-ia must j
go with me," said Herbert to himself, i
nnd an hour afterward ho was saying the
' same to CassiA.
“1 dare not stay another day. beloved;
if I do, I mu<t betray my allegiance to
my country, or get into serious trouble
with my father and the people here. For
‘ even father is urging me in this matter.
; He is determined 1 shall compromise mv
self, and if it comes to fighting, as I bc
; lieve it will, he will gladly semi me away
in the hopes that it may forever sepamte
u«. Darling, life would,!* very bare and
cold without you”
| “It will be death to me, Herbert; but
we can at least die together. Perhaps
over oir graves they will know how
; cruelly they have treated us.”
“Dear Va&sia. we want to live together,
I not die together. I would rather call you
j wife than have a new Bhakespcare write
\ a new play alxout us. A hyme is better
. than a mausoleum, sweet. Will you go
I with met"
"I will go wherever you go, Herbert.’
“Then farewell till morning. Meet
!me at the north gate st 5 o'clock. We
cin reach P in two hours, x know
a minister there, an old schoolmate of
mine; he will marry us at once, and from
P we can get a railway train fur
| New York. Will you be therc”-
' It was not in the heart of woman to re
sist such an eager, handsome lover, and
such p’eaditig, passionate eyes, and Cas
sia said. “I will be there, Heib Tt.”
“Then, dearest, I must go now; see,
the clouds are breaking and the storm is
over. Say nothing even to Milly, and
ride Selim, for he is the fleetest horsc you
have. We will leave him at P ,to be
; sent back to the colonel.” Then they said
I good-Txye a dozen times, and still came
i back to say it once again.
j Leaving a few tender lines for her
■ parents and a special little n to for hex
mot her, Cassia, went forth at 5 o’clock
the next morning to her lover. Two or
three of the house servants saw her go to
the stable and saddle Selim and ride
rapidly away, but they had always made
it a point of honor to know nothing of
Miss Cassia’s rides and walks, and they
! only glanced at her and went on with
'their work. Herbert was waiting for
I her, and in a few minutes the young
lovers were happily galloping away to
! P .
‘/We shall be there by 7 o'clock, Cas
i sia. and 1 will call up my friend at once,
! and we will be married, because the
colonel may suspect our route. I think
he won’t, but he may.”
In fact, the colonel suspected it much
sooner than they anticipxted. He had
risen earlier than usual that morning,
having determined t o send a challenge as
■ soon as it was possible to Captain Rives.
He went to the stable for his favorite
i horse, and found it gone. There was a
hubbub and great confusion at once,
! though it was not until all the servants
i had been examined that the real culprit
! wa* suspected.
Then there was saddling in hot haste,
' with many hot words and not a few pro-
■ miscuous blows, and after swallowing a
i cup of coffee the colonel followed straight
to P .
The colonel found the happy bride
and bridegroom taking breakfast with
i the minister. He lifted his hat cour-
I teously to the latter, but took no notice of
| Herbert.
“Sir,” he said, “you have done a very
I foolish thing this morning. You have
■ married that child thereto a very worth
; less and unworthy man”
“I think you are mistaken, Colonel
i Bquvare. I have known Herbert Rives
I intimately for six years.”
The colonel lifted his eyebrows dis-
! scntingly, and turned to Cassia. “Come j
; home, my daughter. Wait one year, and
I then, if you still wish to marry this man,
j you shall at least be married respectably
1 from your lather’s house. Your mother
■ wishes you to return also. Come back ■
i with me.”
“My mother has you. father, and she j
i will forgive me, for she will remember
j that she ran away with y®h. father. I
must stay with Herbert now.”
She had risen, and stood by the side
iof her husband; and even the angry
father was struck by the extreme beauty
of the young couple; he said, in a softer
voice than might have teen expected, to i
Herbert.
“Where arc vou going to take that !
child?”
“To New York, sir.”
He left them without another word.
On the other hand. Mrs. Bauvare wrote .
Cassia a long letter that very night, for- '
gave her everything, sent her love to ■
Herbert, and begged her to transmit
weekly bulletin* of everything that might
interest her.
I nfortunutely political events of the |
gravest character soon put a stop to ■
Cassia's weekly bulletins. Os course, if ,
I had been drawing -i h »ro as splendid in '
character ns he was handsome in [>erson, |
I should hive insisted on Heibert going
to the war and carving his way to glory
with his sword. But Herbert united !
with his magnificent phys’eal Ixeauty j
only a very prosaic mind. He preferred '
to make money an I live comfortably- ■
with his beautiful wife and children;
nnd somehow men generally thought just
as well of him for it.
However, if he had a prosaic mind, he
had by no means prosaic affections. One
evening, soon after the dose of the war,
he came to Cassia with a radiant face.
“DaHing,” he said, “do yon remember >
your father saying we were u couple of ‘
fools, and that when we came to our '
senses we could let him know?”
“I remember. Herbert. Poor papa!
How I should like to see mamma and j
papi again?”
"Can you be ready to start to-morrow, !
and take both the children with you?”
“Oh, Herbert! do you really mem it?” •
“J really mean it, Cassia. 1 have coms i
to my senses, dear. Since our little Julia ;
has grown >o nea - and dear to me I have •
estimated better how hard it must have
been f« r y< ur father and mother to give
you up. I hope, however, I have been
able at least to do something which will i
prove to them I know the value of the [
dear girl I stol- away from them.”
“What have you done, Herbert?"
“Redeemed both the Rives and the
Bauvare ehates. You shall take the
title-deeds of the Rivesplaceto my father,
and our little Herbert shall give Bauvare
k'xck to his grand father”— Harpt'r'i

The Eleven Commandments.
Mr. George May Powell, of Philadel
phia, has a timely article in the Cent '<•_»/
on Strike*. Lockouts ami Arbitration, in
which he say*:
“One of the most satisfactory cases of
conciliation and arbitration in America
was the settlement- of a serious strike in
the Philadelphia shoe trade in ISB4. This
was arranged by Hon. J. M. M ashburn
with some co-operation of the Peace
Union. About $7,000 daily wages was
s involved, and what proved to be a cold
’ winter was Ixefore the working jxeople.
The settlement saved this, with all the
peace and comfort, health ami momls in
volved.
“Not the least, of th? advantages gained
i was the formulation of eleven rules, with
notes on the same. The value of these
rules and notes is shown by their having
since settled several strikes in othei
trades and other States. They were
s ported up in factories, and the workmen
.byway of pleasantry called them ‘The
Eleven Cominandments.' They were
furthermore made the basis of adjustment
■ of a serious trouble in one of the larged
* institutions of learning in the country”

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Dyspoixsia—Wlxat to Eat and Drink.
Strong beef tea, meat essences, meat
juice are pleasant, and certainly patients
think they are proper things for the de
bilitated. Well, they may be so, if and
provided they take something else as
well. But the starving patient —starv-
ing in the midst of plenty—these things
to feed him is giving him a stone when
lie asks for bread. A little light food
which can be digested is infinitely better
for him.
This is something like what should be
at rived at:
Breakfast—Porridge, oatmeal orhomi
3V, with milk, to start with; to set the
children a good example.
Then a little cold meat or bacon or fish,
w : th a cup of cocoa. Some fruit.
Lunch--Some potatoes mashed, with
plenty of milk and butter, better stilb
cream, peppered and salted and browned
before the fir®.
A little cola minced meat in a thin lay
er, not to be further cooked, but only to
be made hot, may be adde l. Some cold
milk pudding, left ovex- fionx the dinner
of the day before, and some stewed fruit.
A glass of miik, claret or sherry may be
permissible. Let it be little. No glasses
of wihe between meals to “whip one
up.” Such a habit is bad, very bad,
Dinner—A little light soup, some
boiled fish, very little joint, or some
game, or entree like sweetbread, or
spinach and a poarched egg; some milk
pudding and stewed fruit.
When the fast between supper and
breakfast is too long a little milk and a
biscuit in the small hours of the morning
may be taken, or a tumbler of milk with
ft ttaspoonful of wine or brandy in it may
be taken on getting out of bed to dress.
With some persons this- enables them to
take a fair breakfast.
Some persons can eat no breakfast.
Not uncommonly “they eat their break
fast before they go to bed;” they make
a.- good supper. This is very common
with business people who work hard aU
day and have no rest till supper time.
The mistress of a business requiring.much
personal attention is apt to do this. She
commonly becomes a dyspeptic; if her
digestion cm stand this outrage usually
she ultimately becomes the subject of
gout in some one or other of its many
forms.
And now a few words as to the bever
ages to be taken. Americans are a dys
peptic people; thzy drink much iced
water at meals — cryo, iced drinks at meal
times are b id! They may be when car
ried to excess. This is not denied. But
iced drinks are not the cause of the wide
spread dyspepsia in the United States.
There are other potent factors in action.
Iced drinks are very grateful to the
thirsty, but too much indulgence therein
produces a torturing thirst, as the person
who indulges in eating snow in the Arctic
regions discovers quickly. Just as snow
balling causes the hands, first to feel
cold, and then to glow with heat if con
tinued; so the constant application of
an iced fluid to the sauces, at first grate
ful, becomes a source of intense discom
fort; for the blood Vessels are first con
tracted and ultimately paralyzed, and
then the sauces glow with warm blood,
like the skin of the snowbailer s hands;
Iced fluids are not desirable for dys*
peptics, to say the least of it. Ordinari
ly at dinner the ice pudding is followed
by a giass of liquor—“to correct it.” A
certain temperature is requisite for diges
tion, and too much cold is undesirable.
So, too, the stomach is acid after a
meal, for the gastric digestion is acid:
therefore, alkaline waters arc contra-in
dicated at meal times. They should be
taken before meals, properly, when the
stomach is alkaline. The milder effer
vescing waters are comparatively unob
jectionable.
As to alcoholic beverages, they are
good or harmful according to the use
made of them. As to the mischievous
ness of alcoholic indulgences, all, “the
botal abstainer” and his less rigid broth
ers and sisters, are agreed. It is bad
physically, intellectually and mo:ally.
Malt liquors are scarcely suited to the
dyspeptic; and a little sound bitter ale
alone of the serie? may be permitted to
the sufferer from indigestion.
But for the dyspeptic no rule “abso
lute” can be laid' down in beverages any
more than in food. Each case requires
its own regimen all through. Many
cases of dyspepsia, especially when there
is morning sickness, some catarrh, exces
sive flatulence, a foul tongue and an un
steady eye, are due to alcohol wholly and
solely; and no reliance whatever can be
placed on the word, statement, affirma
tion or assertion, corroboiate 1 by solemn
oaths, of a drunkard, for “a drunkard is
a liar!”
And this holds good of both sexes and
all ages, everywhere and ever. — J. Milner
Fothcryill, M. D.

Welsh nam-as are proverbially of a

palm may be given to the following,
which casually occurred in a conversa

Snowdon. The visitor inquired: “What

Cheapest Place in the World.
The cheapest of all civilized or half
civilized countries of the preser.t wcr\l is
probably the Persian part of Armenia.
The traveler Vambcrg states that in the
mountain districts of that frugal terri
tory half a florin (about twenty-five
cents) would be considered fair monthly
wages for a hard-workicg man. and that
the miethgeld, or hand-money, paid to
the pxxrent; of a shepherd boy varies from
sixty to seventy-five cents a year. Yet
even at those’ modest rates few appli
cants can obtain employment, and the
highways swarm with begging young
sters, reedy to follow a bread-giver to
the end of the world.— Felu L. Chricakk.
