Norton's purt. Just now she sugared and creamed Mr. Norton's second cup of coffee, and handed it toward him with a little indignunt remark? "But it's too bad, Frank, and I beliove you think so as much as I do." And she looked suspiciouslj as if there were tears in her pretty eyes. "Indeed, I think it's j.ust as bad as it can enough for but a thousund times worse for Uncle Turn." is ridiculousl The idea ol falling in love at this time of life; but more than ridiculous in falling in love with such a creature as Aura Vane! To think, after he has made I his home with us ever since we were married, und wo have humored him in every possible and the sacrifices 1 have made to please him? to think he should so absurdly go to work and allow himself to be catrapped by Aura!" Frank laughed at Lottie's remarks. "We musn't forget that of course the old gentlemun has a perfect right to do as he pleiises with his own, my dear.

His being sixty yeArs old does not preclude him from Miss Vune, if he chooses to;" Lottie looked very ggrdest intlged hxs 6 "I Uncle Tom see her as she body else sees her? She's forty if she's a day." Ho interrupted lier with- a little, tormenting laugh. "A very suitable age, you must admit for him, Lottie." "Frank Norton! How can you, when you know as well as I do that it is only Uncle Tom's money she is after? And to think he promised to leave it all to buby if we'd name him ufter him, and I wanted the little darling called Roland so badly, instead of "Tommy!" Oh, Frank, you never will know what a sacrifico I made! And I'll change baby's name I Uncle Tom marries that horrid old thing, who never had a beau or an offer in her life! How she ever contrived to trap him, I'd like to know." Two bright little red spots were Uaming in her cheeks, mid despite the passionate bitterness of her protest, Mr.Norton realized there was a great deal of righteous truth in it, and he was looking grave and thoughtful, just as the front door opened, und in a minute or two Uncle Tom himself came in. 'I am sorry to have been bo late to dinner, my dear," he said, briskly, with a smile toward Lottie; "but I have been out driving in the Park with Miss Vane, and really it was dusk before I'knew it." Somehow Mrs. Norton glanced at her husband as she turned the urn, just in time to catch the quick glance of caution he sent her. All unconscious of the storm that was about his domestic low baromoter and high temperature that was none the less existent becauso tho old gentleman was not aware of Tom went comfortably on with his cold roast chicken, sipping his coflee leisurely between whiles.

"Are you personally acquainted with Miss Vane, my dear?" he said after dilating upon tho beauty of the park in its autumn dress. And then Lottie purposely avoided her lord's eyes, whero she knew full well would be another cautionary signal. "Not at all intimately, Uncle Tom. When I was a little girl she was a grown up woman, and, of course, I nover had occasion to associate with her. As a child, I nover fancied her, however." He laid his knife down, in the act of slicing ofl a delicious piece of brown meat.

"You mean to insinuate that Aura is as that?" Frank took upiho cudgel in' quiet, unimpsssioimte way. don't think my wife should 'inUnci? Tom. She simply a fact, as I do, and any onbelso tFho cares to thlnl at all alkm.t it, that Miss Vane is pafet forty Vehrs old. But, then, of one ever troubles one's self about it." 'Taet forty! frank, I always thought you bad uncommon good senso ami judgment and perception, forty? But perli'aps yooi don't happen know how delicate ish and he? manner." He spoke as if in groat triumph. "That goes for nothing, Uncle loin," Lottie said, more mildly than Frank had expected of her.

"Com-' plexion and huir can both be bought nowadays." "I am perfectly aware of that my dear; although I must admit 1 had not thought you capable uf such tho less said, the better, perhaps. But I assuro you I have satisfied myself that Aura is ono of those rarely-preserved women who at I have it from her own lips that her last birthday was her more charming and mature, and every way suitable to a discerning man's taste, than when young and girlish." And ho looked straightly, defiantly into Lottie's eyes. "Oh, well;" she retorted, stubbornly, "you'll find out some day." es," ho answered, "I expect to! find out that the woman who will honor me by being my wife is just I what I have said she is in all re-1 respects, Frank, don't you want! tickets for tho opera to-night? I've a couple to spare, if you want to take Lottie to hear Patti. Miss Vane and I are going." Of course Frank accepted the tickets; and after dinner, when Lottip went up to the nursery with hiinfor their usual half hour of baby worship, she liim arms'and showering kissos ffjV'his-sw-cet, laughing face and boniiy datk eyes. Frank laughed.

"You'd better wirit a littlo longer, Lottie. Thirty thousand pounds is worth being called worse name than Tom. Perhaps the old man's disenchantment may come oven yet." "It's disgusting," she said. Then sho said good night to her year-old boy, with dozens of kisses and hugs, and gave him to the nurse. "I want you to go on an errand, please, sho said suddenly, asthey went into their own room, "up to Blandford's for an invisible net and hairpins.

Will you, Frank?" "An invisible net! What on earth is that? Can you see it? How shall I know when I've got it?" She gave him a little push towards the door. Never mind, Mr. You simply ask for what I tell you, pay what they charge, and bring it home to me." So good-natured Frank put on his hat and started off to Blandford's the famous hair dresser's, where ho was to buy the "invisible net," and met Uncle Tom on the door step impatiently waiting for the carriage that was to take him to his beloved. "Thore's plenty of time," Frank said, as he stopped a minuto. "Get your cane, UncloTom, and walk up to Blandford's with mo-" Undo Tom looked at his watch.

"Well, I will. I shouldn't like to koep Aura waiting, though." "Thore's no need to," Frank answered. And they started off; evory bit of Frank's determination and tact kept continually on the alort to prevent tho old gentloman from discussing Miss Vane. However, by violent effort, ho succeeded, by talking about tho Premier's illness and the Irish Bill, till they reached Blandford's whore an obliging shopman gave them scats, and begged them to wait only ono moment, as they were so vory busy just then. And Frank and Uncle Tom sat down and wftited, closo by them being a tall' Venitian screen which1 neither particularly noticed, until in a low, yot clearly distinct voice, they heard a sentence or so that startled them.

"How will that do, Miss Vane? I have applied nearly an oiitiro bottle of the enamel; but-pardon hollows and wrinklos- are' so deep that it'if afmost impossible era'fe them." "It will have to do, 1 Fortunately all my new costumes Gave longer sleeves than the olijques.

There was a shriek of horror from the bald-headed lady, a scries of "Oho-oh's," and then it all seemed in less than a attendant threw a qhawl over Vane's pate. Untie Tom gave a groan of utter horror as he got up and took Frank's arm.

"I'm going home," he said, torsely. "I don't want any opera I've seen enough. Great heavens! what an escape! For all those mercies I thankful. To think 1 was so nearjmarry-1 I think the 6lory is told. Aura Vane did not secure her.

Or that there are men who put their hair in papers, and wear gloves at bight, and then call themselves "lords of creation." Ahem!

Speaking of how a man goes to bed, I an exchange says: "There's where a man has tho advantage. lie can undress in a cold room and have his bed warm before a woman has got lier hair-pins and her shoes untied." That's how it looks in print, and this is how it is in reality: "I am going to bed my dear. It's half-past ten." No reply, "Now, John, you know you're always late in the morning.

Do get to bed!" "Yes, in ai minute," ho replies, as he turns the paper wrong side out and begins a lengthy article headed "The Louisiana Muddle." Fifteen minutes later she cails from the bedroom: "John come to bed, and not keep the gas burning here all night," and murmuring something "the bill boing big enough now," she creeps between the cold fifiettSi while Johii sits placidly on, his across the piano stool and a cigar in his mouth, liy-and-by he rises, yawns, stretches himself, throws the paper on the floor, and seizing the shaker proceeds to that vigorous exercise, shaking the coal stove. Just at this stage a not altogether voice inquires: "For pity's sake! ain't you ready for bed yet?" "Yes, yes, I'm coming! Why don't you go to sleep and let a fellow alone?" Then he discovers that there's coal i needed. When that is supplied and rattled into the stove he sits down to warm his feet. Next he slowly be-; gins to undress, and a3 he stands scratching himself and absently gazing on the last garment, dangling over tho back of tho chair, ho remembers that tho clock is not wound yet. When that is attended to he wants a drink of water, and away to tho kitchen ho promenades.

Tho straightforward confession should have saved Mark, but it didn't. The visitor made a dive for him, took out a handful of hair, and when the editor jumped through the window in his oflico ho was followed and chased into an old slash' ing, where he had to remain hidden until midnight.

That incident shaped his future policy, as he ono day explained: "The editorial pen is an all-fired big lever, but I have made it a rulo for tho last thirty years not to abuso a man unless I think 1 can lick him in a rough and tuirible fight around the editorial Press; A Touching Story.

The miners puzzled at their remembrance, and at last it was resolved to bring tho oldest old lady long past her eightieth year, who had lived single in tho village the whole her life. On being brought into the presence of the body a strange scene occurred; tho old lady fell on the corpse, kissed and addressed it by every term of loving endearment, couched in the language of a bygone generation, llo was her only iove; she waited for him during hor long life; she knew that ho had not forsnken her. old woman and the young man had been betrothed sixty years before. Tho lovor had disappored mysteriously, and she had kept faithful during that long interval. Time had stood still with the dead man, but had left' its mark on the living woman.

The miners who wero present wero a rough sot, but very gently and with tearful eyes they removed tho old lady to her house, and the same night hoi faithful spirit rejoined that of her long lost lover..
