A number ,j,;f gentlemen, business men of Cumberland, and Colliery officials, met in- the comfortable dining room of the Cumberland Hotel on Friday evening amd partook of a recherche' dinner, in celebration of the advent of the 20th century. The pleasant function began and passed off in a most gratifying manner, nothing happening to mar the hail fellowship which prevailed throughout. True, 'there were a few vacant seats, but this was no doubt owing to the affair|having been postponed and the final date not having been sufficiently welladverti.-.-d. The tables were arranged in form of a T, and were beautifully decorated. Mr. lames Abrams, as chairman, taking-the head or centre of the upper arm. Mr. E. Barret, to whom is due the credit for bringing the affair about, seated opposite. Mr. J. Mathews, man ager of the Colliery Co. and Mr. T. E. Bate, of Simon Leiser's, taking the ends. That a.friendly gathering of the kind i.s beneficial, may b* known from the fact that many are desirous that certain social function of th������ sort will be held periodically. That it wad interesting was proved by the reply to the Colliery (oast by Mr. Matthews- w io, among many remarks of a k'ndly nature, gave much information on the bright prospects ot the Colliery, when speaking of the body of fine coal of apparently immense extent, lately' tapped from No. 4 slope and No. 5 shaft.

Fjite of tlie Confederate Seal. "The result of the last Confederate council of war held at Abbeville. S, C7, in May, 1865, was soon known all over Abbeville, and tbe generals and the secretary of war wore kept busy for Wlien Kot In Service Thoy .Were Chained, and duly Their iZasiers Covin Fead or Tonch Theni���������The St-rnin IrfrobaMy Extinct Sow. ��������� ' It was recently reported that an official of another state was entertained on a visi*--to a convict camp by a man hunt, ���������with bloodhounds, -the man being given an hour's start and plenty of time to climb a tree. Such exhibitions are not ,. rare on 'the South Carolina state farms ���������where bloodhounds are kept. The same kind of -animals are kept by the sheriffs of many counties in this state, and they always do well on such show occasions, 'but have never been known to run down a criminal. ''���������I very much doubt," said an old slave owner, "whether there is a genuine blood- , hound in the south or one with the 'nose' of the old runaway slave catcher in the country: Any breed of dogs lhat run by scent can be trained from puppies to run man and' man alone:., Ordinary deer or 'foxhounds take, to this quite naturally, and if crossed with a half or quarter fox terrier they become vicious and persistent in the chase. But these are not bloodhounds, nor should,, those now,owned by the state or. counties iu South Car- ��������� olina be so classed. '��������� "The bloodhound in his perfection of . "nose' and his ferocity was the product of the institution of slavery. The linest strains-came from Cuba, large, powerful beasts, tawny or black, with white points and so fierce that when not in service thov were chained, and only their master could feed them or touch them.- 'If they escaped, they chased the first person they saw. and their desire was to eat his flesh. "Many of the dogs were imported to the south- by the men who 'made their . living catching runaway slaves. They were'crossed on the deerhound, and the product was a good ninn hunter, fierce enough, but not so dangerous-as the Cuban. Several packs of such dogs were ��������� owned in this state, and their presence in a county kept many a slave at home who would have otherwise sought the shelter ' of the forest,'where." unless followed by . such hounds, he could live for years, paying weekly or monthly visits to the negro ' settlements. - "The alleged bloodhounds of this day cannot run a man if the trail is over three hours old, if it goes in water or is, crossed bv other trails. The slave catcher's' hounds, bred for their cold nose for "' -more than a cehtijrv, could 'carry a trail' 3l> hours old. ' Ine common definition that used to be given for the name of this species of dog was that if a drop of blood fell on tho track he would never leave it.. They were like wolves, in that they hunted for meat and were eager .to devour a man run to a 'tree or cornered. There are many authentic stories showing their remarkable qualities of-scent and sagac- , ity. It was practically impossible to Ladle an old dog, and when his nose was once put by his master in tlie footprints of a man the particular scent of that person was the only ono he would .entertain in his nostrils, and that track he would pick out of 100. Ordinary hounds of chase are puzzled' when the quarry takes to a running stream and goes up or down. The man hunter, acute and wise as a man, would systematically hunt tho banks up and down for miles until tho trail was recovered. "There is a case of particular note on record in this state where the services of a professional slave catcher were called in to catch a murderer. The crime had been committed more than 24 hours when the boss of the pack arrived with his dogs upon the scene of the murder. One naked footprint was found retreating from the spot, and into this the muzzle of the prize trailer of the pack was pressed, and she was given the word to go, the ��������� other dogs being hold in reserve. "Miles through swamps, across ponds of water and into the woods the dog trailed, finally coming out on a cultivated plantation, her nose close to the 'ground and occasionally giving utterance to the^fierce but musical long drawn 'bau' that carried terror always to the hearts of the runaway. Into the street of the negro village went tlie dog, carrying the trail where it had been 'crossed by dozens of men, women and children, and then into a house. Here she made a.circle of the room, came out of the same door, trailed - to another house, scratched at the barred door and .when'it was opened caught the murderer under the bed. He belonged to another plantation and had come there for shelter and protection and had used every device to throw off pursuit. "It was, of course, important and necessary that the owner of such a pack of dngs should be responsible and vigilant. He had to be a fine horseman ancl ride horses that could go almost anywhere, for he must be up to the leading dog when the slave was brought to bay. If the fugitive was too hard pressed to climb a tree, or, as they sometimes did, attempted to shoot the dogs, he would be torn to pieces if the master was not promptly on hand. Laws governing the abuse of slaves were strict and enforced. The most noted case of their violation is ono of the best known criminal cases in our law books, although it' occurred years ago. A captured slave had incurred the enmity of'the hunters, and; he was killed and his flesh fed to the dogs. The two whites implicated were tried, convicted and hanged at Walterboro, the militia of Charleston being marched (!0 miles to prevent their rescue by friends on the day of execution. "With the passing of slavery the necessity for cold nosed man chasers no longer exists and the breed, at least in this part of the country, is no longer preserved." iionrs signing honorable discharge-* "for the tired soldiers, who' immediately applied for them." writes Mrs. Thaddeus n.-irr.'in. in The Ladies' Home Journal. "During the evening Mr. Benjamin asked for a hatchet, and with it he defaced the Confederate seal.- About 12 o'clock the same night the Confederate party continued its retreat in the 'direction of Washington. On., and while crossing-the Savannah river in the darkness some one suggested that the seal be thrown overboard. This idea' was at once approved, and when the boat reached midst ream it ..was dropped with a^dull splash into the sandy river bed of that beautiful southern watercourse, where to this day, its -..ission all fulfilled, it serenely rests."

Most persons, however, do neither and accept the loss when the ticket- is worth less than ,a dollar.

It is a simple matter to inclose the ticket with a letter directed to the general passenger agent asking him to refund the money paid and explaining the reason why the ticket is left unused in the hands of the purchaser. It is courteous to inclose a stamped envelope in which the money may be returned. When all these things have been done, the company generally acknowledges the receipt of tfie ticket holder's communication and promises to investigate the matter. The investigation consists in the proper identification of the ticket by the agent who sold it and a little bookkeeping to set the accounts right. Then the, purchaser receives;_a check for the amount, due from tlie railroad company along with a letter requesting acknowledgment. ���������' New York Sun. Origin of ''Soldier."

A genuine bit of old England has just been .secured by the Government as a heritage for the people, says the Loudon Daily Mail. r.lhis consists of the 'uag'ni licetit ruins of Tin tern Abbey, together with several thousand acres of land adjoining in the beautiful valiey of the Wye, all of which have been purchased front the ID tike of- licaMort, and will be maintained for the enjoyment of visitors. An aroma of antiquity pervades the place. The abbey was founded by Walter de Clare in those merry- monkish days when monastic visions ware wont to have a solid substratum of "'fat pullets and clouted cream." The abbey is famous for its architectural character, which belongs to a transition between the Early Eng- I iisn and .Decorated periods. The church,-begun jn. 1287, remains nearly complete, witli the exception oi the northern arqadc of the nave. To enter the church is like taking a step straight into the thirteenth- century'. One expects to be sur- Younded with fatted friars ancLpious pilgrims, and to see great visions, of wallets mid wassail. Oh the east side of the cloister..* are" the aumbry, the- parlor and sacristy, and tlie' chapter .house with three alleys. -On the norm sior- are ,tho postern and river gate"; "\.������ Ji the abbot's, lodge over. -Tin ,tlie, \iciriity of the abbot's lodge' one, nattirplly look's for the littery, the refectory, and the .-kit- , chen, for, look you, your real abbot was no ascetic. ��������� ' ' , '"Tlie sacred rights, of hospifality-- were duly observed, as is testifiud<by the guos't house, b**'t over an, undercroft.

I-'or Seven Ye'-a'S i:������r������ Se.-iJocJ Fl.i.sk. In the botanical" garden-of Berliri is ,to bv seen a cactus1' which, 'has grown' for seven year's in a giasy ,'flasik sealed by, fusion; it was .presented by a,German- pharmacist, J.udwig litist, says- the Scicntiiic American:' He explains the growth of the plant by the ia'ct that tho.soil in which it n-rows contains a' certain quantity oC spores of fungi0," which, germinate from time to /time "and cover the. sides of the fias*k with a greenish layer. These, in dying, furnish the carbonic acid nocessary for" the- life of'the"cactus. peared f was then asked from whence came the carbonic1 acid, for the fungi:- again,- the phenomena of nutrition w-hich take place in the ,g'"ecn parts of the plant require an excess of tar- ,. bonic acid. This seems, in fact; to 'be furnished by the process-of putrefaction which takes place in tho soil. Another question, which is more dif- ' (icu.lt to answer is the origin of * the wafer, which .is. necessary to maintain the life of the plant; this may be derived from the decomposition of - .the ' cellulose.

'-While there are no doubt, in so large'-a body as the Christian Church, censorious hearers and ill-mannered congregations, just as there are lazy and cantankerous ministers, yet the average cort- greg"ati6n is charitable in its judgment of its minister, patient under his failings, keenly appreciative of any good work he docs, and _ most responsive to all his good offices. There are not many substantial complaints which a sane-minded and g-ood-tempored minister can bring, against the average conyregation", but ho has sometimes a grudge against his friends which he docs not express, but which often rankles in. his heart. It is not anything they say nor anything they do: it is the- quiet and perhaps unconscious assumption on their part that he has not enough, work,to do, or that he has a considerable' quantity of time at his disposal."

A reporter of the, Sun hearing of cthe wonderful effects which <������������������ Dr. Williams' Pink'Pills have had on Miss Huskinson, called at her home'to enquire into the truth .of 'the rumor. . After stating the' * reason of his visit, he was kindly received by Mrs. Huskinson, who gave .him. the following facts of ,the cure:' "Some'yearsrago," said Mrs. Huskinson, "my daughter Emma, who'is now captain, of the Newmarket corps of ,the Salvation Army, was ' attacked by malarial fever. She was under a doctor's care for' a long time, and although she. recovered sufficiently to go about, -the -after, effects1 of the fever left her very- weak, and the doctor did not seem, able to put any life' into her'. She had frequent headaches, was veryo pale', and the least exertion 'would .greatly fatigue her. We thought a change might' do her good and consequently she "went oii a visit] to'Toronto. While there she was advised to' try Dr/ Williams' Pink Pills and at bnce purchased a supply. Before" she had finished the second box she-noted a marked change for the better, her appetite improved', her color returned, the feeling of exhaustion had disappeared, and" by the time.she had taken half a-dozen boxes she was. enjoying the best of health, and all her old-time vigor had returned. Although her work ,in . the Salvation Army is hard, and exposes her to all kinds of weather;-, she has since been able to do-it without the'least inconvenience. "Some time, after my daughter's cure I found myself completely run down, and to add to my'trouble was seized with a severe attack of rheumatism. Iteniembering the benefit my daughter had received- from Dr. ".Vil- liams' 'Pink'" Pills,' I' decided to use them, and befo*e I had taken half a dozen boxes I felt fully recovered and have been- in the best of health ever since. 'My advice to all ailing is to use* Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for, Pale People." -, * " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have restored more weak and ailing women and girls to' robust health than any other .medicine ever discovered, which in part accounts for their popularity throughout the world.

He was a dandy- in figure and dress. * He'had tho innocent- face ��������� of a child. He was guileless and In- ��������� genuous. He seemed to know-so little of the ybrld that you wondered where - he had passed his-30 years of life. He wanted to' make everybody's acquaint-' ' ance and be .friends with all. ..-You couldn't help but sejt him 'down for.a good fellow just to look at him. and .when you bad listened to-bis droll stories in the smoking room,.his songs in' " the cabin and the fairy stones he told the children you had to agree that be was justly a favorite. 7. No one seemed to know Jimmy,-as .he asked us to call him, beyond knowing that he lived" up the country on a big horse farm and'was worth half a million dollars. It turned out that no one really knew that, but had taken t his, word for it. -However, it was no , one's business to knowTn'ih. He was going .back to England after a bride, .. and all the ladies aboard agreed that he' was a good catch and the girl was - in luck. Perhaps I got more out of Mr. Melwill, than any other passenger. It was,more, and-at the same,, time it was Jess/ -In speaking of his horse farm "-'to the lie.had been foolish enough to locate it.. It was far,distant from Melbourne, and'it was in an out of tbe way place, but it so happened that I had sbeepberded -aud prospected all over'that* range an-^ knew his story to be false. Tie saw by my looks that I knew it to be so, and' he at once turned the conversation and refused any further information. Women will lie when there is no object, but men generally- plan to make a lie serve a purpose. I tried to figure out why Jimmy should lie, but tbe best guess I could make at it was that he wanted to pass for a richer man than he was. ��������� There was nothing bad about that, and I didn't pprinit the-falsehood to open any breach between us. When we came to shake ourselves " down aboard, I noticed that there were a lot of rather tough looking men among the steerage passengers. It was-explained that they were going to the Cape to work on a new railroad. As near as I could size them up they were all colonials and men more used to horse's than picks and shovels. Your true navvy, or day laborei, would have sprawled in the shade and slept and smoked and been content. I picked out a dozen or more of tbe so called workingmen who were nervous and uneasy, and they often formed little groups and seemed to hold much converse in whispers. This, however, was only a trifling incident. Tec-pie ou shipboard liave uothiug to do but gossip and observe. A mau who would not walk ten steps on laud to see a captive eagle will sit for an hojirand watch the erratic bight 6f a gull. 1 think the sleek Jimmy must have caught me watching the steerage, passengers, for be took occasion one day to observe: "There seems to be a fine lot of men going out to the Cape.with us?" "As far as bone and muscle go," I replied. -: "But it takes bone and muscle to build railroads." ��������� "Of course, but this Is the first time I ever heard of Australians'being shipped to the Cape for such work. Is there any scarcity of native help? I can't imagine one of those chaps over yonder with his soft hands doing much with pick and shovel." "No, perhaps not." replied Jimmy in an absent-way as he looked at me through half closed eyes. Then he extended his cigar case, proposed a game of euchre, and the subject was dropped. I don't claim that I was suspicious of Jimmy or that I was disturbed by the gang in the steerage. On tbe contrary, I was perfectly easy in my,mind in all respects. I had read in the Australian papers that tbe Ocean Queen was carrying home more than a million dollars in gold. In fact, I had seen most of tbe boxes brouerbt aDoara and taken down to the strong room. All other passengers must have been aware of the treasure, but there was little or no talk about it. I think the sleek, slick man was the only one I heard say anything about it. As we sat -smoking and yarning one day he carelessly mentioned tbe treasure and then wondered how much all the' gold and silver lost (liy shipwreck would amount to!. Tt is a wide expanse of ..ocean be- tween-the Cape.-andjA'ustralia, and at the end ot a week "we bad all settled down into grooves and fallen, into a monotonous routine. Early.bne morning a sail was sighted dead ahead, ana almost as.rfoon as she had been made out it'was seen that she'bad a distress iiag flying. Tbe news went over the ship, ���������and in a moment everybody was interested . and anxious. Tbe ship in distress was a brig, and.'so far as any of us could make out, she was all right alow and aloft. If she hadn't sprung a leak, then it must be a case of fever or mutiny, or perhaps. she had run short of water and provisions. -Jimmy stood beside me"as' we borcedown en, the brig', and,- although I twice asked him what he .thought about it, he did, not seem.to hoar me. I turned to lock at him as be closed his glass and found 'a smile on his.fnc.'v "You don't think,it a joke, do you?" I askew rather brusquely. ��������� "Ob. no, no!"'he replied, smiling, and chuckling at tbe same time. "Xo: it's no,, joke. There will" be no laughing over it." ��������� ' ' ' " c, His tones w.ere --sarcastic, aud for an instant'there was a. look 'of triumph in his eyes. ��������� Then be turned away, and 1- gave the, brig my attention. We ran down to within half a- mile of her before our engines were stopped. Only' three men were visible on. her decks, and she hadn't a boat in "sight. The trio,-beckoned and motioned that we should send a boat.'.- and-' tho captain gave ordei'3 that one should be lowered. "It will be a case of fever." he'said.- "with all tbe officers and most of tue men down,'-' and the surgeon was scut off with tbe boat, which was in charge of the second mate. Eight of our crew, were thus taken. ' The boat had pulled half the distance to the brig* when we had something nearer home,to attract attention. Tbe sleek, slick little Jimmy suddenly held' a cocked revolver to the captain's ear and- marched him into his stateroom._ Fourteen of the "railroad" men from the steerage, each armed with a pistbi and'km re, sudden-, ly appeared among us. and it "wasn't three minutes before tbe whole crowd of us were in the cabin and a guard, over.us. ,The engine" room was taken possession of at the same "time, and the Ocean Queen had been taken possession of without a shot being fired. The brig was' lj-ing' broadside to us. She h.vT two, boats down on the far side, with 15 men in each boat, and as soon as they bad pulled around and captured our yawl one* boatload of the rascals came aboard tbe Queen, and the steamer was worked down alongside the brig. The sea was smooth, aud the fellows could lash the craft together without fear of disaster. We had been taken completely by surprise and had no show. They bad the gold out and transferred within an hour. It is to the credit of the rascally gang to say that they wei'e under good control and insulted no one. After the gold was disposed of they robbed the ship of a lot of bedding and provisions, and at tbe last the sleek, slick man came down into the cabin to ciy a few words. . He was smiling and good natured. He patted the children, bowed to the ladies and waved big hand to tbe men. ''My dear friends," he said in that ���������soft, silky .voice" of his, "I hope that I have given you no trouble. Rather let me hope that you will look upon it as an incident to break the monotony of the voyage. I do uot wish to search you one by ono. like a footpad or a bushranger, but-will trust to your honesty to hand over your money ami jewels. I have figured on about the amount 1 should get.

I gave up half my possessions, ancl I presume the other passengers retained a share as well, -but the t:icnc\y, watches, rings, brooches, etc.. laid on the table before the pirate had a good round value and seemed to satisfy bim. He swept everything into a sack, bath; us a fond adieu, aud within ten minutes set each one up handsomely, and- I have always thought of Jimmy/the slick one as touring about in the finest raiment; drinking the rarest wines and making himself a favorite wherever he stopped for a, week: [Copyright. ,10C0. by C.

And in tho matter of drinking, though Allen could mix a punch or a cocktail with commendable art. he wasjiis reluctance to smoke never get him to indulge even in brottghr "(ha-m .".fasted to Halbert as a hind of offering to that exalted wretch. "Yon should have been a woman, by gad." Halbert- said once to him. "A thousand - pardons. Allen, but you would have made a fine lookiug girl. You've got grace and tact enough-for it. you know-. Why. believe me. Allen, if there were women like you today, with the brain aud all. I believe I'd marry one of them." Allen actually blushed and retreated in confusion. Halbert'liked this display of'apparent shyness,-and bis affection for the boy grew. He liked to slap him on the- back, and he said he felt lonesome when the chap: was away. "I tell you what, Alleu. I don't know .whether to adopt you as my son, considering the- fact that I shall never have one of my own, or whether to let things slide on as formerly and just double j-our salary-" Things slid-on as formerly untii Halbert announced a hunting trip to Abyssinia. He had actually completed plans for both and was sketching out iii his imagination th.e delicious camaraderie of two in a tent in the wilds of Africa when Allien announced his intention to resign. "You ungrateful beggar, you can't resign," Halbert shouted. "Why, my boy, I can't go without you. What's tbe matter?" "The fact of the matter is, sir," Allen replied respectfully, "I don't want to go with you." , It was a blow, and it landed between Halbert's eyes. He loved Allen if be- ever loved any being on earth, and this was the first time that he ever had been thwarted. Not given to sentiment or pleading, he nursed his agony silently, for Allen's abruptness stung him with all the agony of .unfiliaj in-1 gratitude, of unrequited love, of treachery in a friend���������everything. It pained Halbert, as he had* never been 'pained before. That afternoon he ordered his horse for a long ride and went out dejectedly with a load on ins shoulders. ,IIe wanted to,puzzle out the,situation. He had - never to plead with any one before in his life for what he wanted, and he hated, to plead now. It might seem unmanly.- be feared. He, went out without calling to Allen, and he did not'return for dinner.' The secretary ,iu the meantime felt an t.nhnpp3* sinking of his heart as the .hours dragged by and Halbert did not return.' It was his custom at least to return to dress for the evening.' especially if he meant to dine out, and his continued absence made Allen uneasy. He did not know whether Halbert cared about his refusal to accompany bim.- but" be knew that he himself cared, and ,he felt he could -not acquaint his friend with tlie real reason until he had actually gone. ' At 9 o'clock Halbert'came back���������not exactly ou,a stretcher., but leaning on the arm of 'his valet. Fie had had a bad fall somewhere on the Riverside drive, rind he had turned .his* elbow- badly���������sprained it. in fact. They had actually subjected him to the' annoyance of carrying him to a hospital be- cause,he had been'too da zed-to remonstrate, and'when his mind was eventually clear he "demanded removal to his own rooms. ft His valet settled him comfortably on a divan and had left .the room when Halbert sank into alight slumber. In a few moments Allen came in, white, haggard, limp with anxiety, and stood - there looking at Halbert with startled pain in bis gaze; then, .with a sudden, incontrollable impulse, be knelt down beside the divan for a moment and, grasping one of tbe sufferer's hands in his own., pressed it to. his lips with'ft sob of distress and pain. Halbert opened his eye's, and turned ,to look at him. -He was almost too dum founded to speak. Allen got up in confusion.-, and Halbert kept smiling and staring at bim in a .riot of bewildered ideas, groping, as he did, in a queer labyrinth of uncertainties like a man struggling* to "face some'peculiar situation , that his mind refuses to grasp.- . ,. ��������� ��������� ��������� .' ' _ "I trust you 'will pardon myc intrusion," 'Allen^ said, standing by a .window and looking out.into the night, "but they told,nie you had been seriously hurt, and���������aud--it almost broke my heart." ���������- Halbert sat'un on the edge of the divan and. drawing his dressing gown around him closely, remained there' looking at Allen like one surprised in half toilet and somewhat nervous because of it. The kiss of the youth burned still in tbe flesh of his hand, and it traveled along the channels of feeling and warmed his heart. Something was groping in his mind for recognition. He still stared at Allen and took in, with careful, scrutinizing gaze, the supple lines of his tall,, svelte -figure.' the" curves of his long neck, the slender hands and feet. "Allen," Halbert said, antbhe got up and walked close to the youth and stood u������ar him, his ej-es still searching the boyish face, "Allen. I want.to ask you a question. In God's name, don't- bo offended if I am wrong. But I don't think I am wrong. It never occurred to me before, but I am a blind fool, and it unnerves me. Look at me, Allen, and answer this: Are you a woman?" Allen winced and turned farther away and leaned against a table as if to steady himscl*. The young face was- seamed with pain. There was a long silence as Ma!b*>rt waited for the other io speak. "You arc a womau."' he repeated. ''Yes. I am a woman." The words came at last, firmly, almost defiantly, like thunder in Halbert's ears, stunning him. "My God!" was ail that came from between the parted, eager lips of the other. "But this costume���������why this? I don't understand." "L.ecnuse'everybody has a prejudice against petticoats in the professions.'** the girl answered, "and I was bound 1 would not let that interfere with my progress. Why should I, be bound down, tied like a slave, because of a. mere selfish, unreasonable prejudice?" The color burned in her cheeks brilliantly, and Halbert-stepped toward her with a sudden, quick movement, his arms outstretched, love on his tongue, in bis eyes, in his gestures. The girl stepped away from him as he would have touched her arm. "Mr. Halbert." she' said, with dignity. 'T am your secretary and in your rooms, and you have discovered that I am a woman. Please respect my unhappy position, for I want you to believe that I am neither a designing adventuress nor a simpering dolt. There is another class that you seem to be unacquainted with���������that, you do not scorn to take into consideration." She looked at him steadily, her eyes burning with determination. Halbert's head sank under the siege of her look. FTcr speech hurt him: it crushed him. Yes. be loved this,girl; he understood it now. He bad been a blind, self absorbed fool. , "Girl, .dbn't crush nie under your heel." He had-not thought that there, could be lack'of respect , where ��������� love dwelt. ' -���������, ' "oWhile I am your secretary you must not speak of love. It is an unfair ad- Vantage." "Then I discbarge you this moment," cried Halbert, aroused. The girl could scarcely suppress a smile.'though she struggled" to be adamant. She turned and walked quickly toward the door. , '.Glome back7 girlie. Don't go ancl leave,me like this. You've, wound yourself all around my heart with"a million tendrils.. I can't let you 'go' now���������I want you to be my wife. Don't you love me? You won't go away now when I want you most." She turned and smiled at him. He was' pleading iu - abject humility. "Don't" you love me?" he cried out to *��������� e- her���������he, 'Halbert. lhe cynic���������conquered! "Well, yes." she called back, "I ihlnlc f do." She was laughing, but her kiss was there-on his hand still. He knew. "Then,you will go to Abyssinia after , all. won't you. dear?" ��������� - . Eler laughter still greeted'bim from a distance, aud he flung himself back on' the divan, and gave bim self up to love dreams such as-never before thawed the chilly exterior of the man "who bad fled from petticoats and hid from them , in smoking rooms for th.e last 25 years.'; Halbert was overcome, in dove like a schoolboy, his heart fluttering, buoyant, ecstatic! And tbe kiss was there7, on his hand. He carried it tq his lips - and'drank the honey of<tho_spot where her own lips bad been.���������Chicago Tribune.
