to persuade myself that such popular-

that I waa by no means a fine fellow—

Women bad a* yet done nothing to
lower my *elf-esteem. Until now. I had
not found the woman I could love. One
reaaon for this was, that I was atlll of
a romantic nature, and was raaolved
that whomsoever I aaked to be my wife
should love me for myself, not for my
wish, so far as possible, to keep this
tale free from any aarcastlc remarks of
my own, but at that time 1 often won-

would have found me bucIi a charming

But at last I was In lov —hopeless-
ly, unreservedly in love. My nature I*.
I believe, a passionate one, and now
that It had found Its aim, 1 gave It full
and free scope. I loved madly, blind-
ly, and, alas! jealously.
I had set my heart upon the daughter
f no wealthy or well-born family. The
girl I loved was not one whom 1 met in
society: yet I proudly thfcught of the
lay when every eye would turn and be
dazzled by her beauty—when people
who appraised the charms of fair
women would rank those of my wife
high above all.
Of course I was partial—all lovers are

to the portrait which bring# on the
wall facing me, 1 tell myself that my
love did not lead me far astray.

"Your friend can make them on hla

"No one knows. To-morrow, p*r-

I laughed and drew Viola away. We
were so happy that we forgot ail about

troubled nothing about Viola's guardi-

IT HAD TO BE.
A ratalll/ That Ceald Met Poaalbl*
It waa in one of the mountain towns
of easttrn Kentucky. I had dropped
Into a general store In the evening to
make a purchase and was lingering to
hear a conversation between throe or
four men, when one of them arose,
winked at me to follow him. and start-
ed out, Just as an old man who waa
known as "Cap'n Jim" entered, say* the
Detroit Free Press man.
"Yo' 1* a stranger In town, I reckon ?"
queried the winker, na we got out
"Yes."
"And nobody's dun told you about
Uncle Tom, who keep* this toh?"
"No."
"Then I'll explain. That yere Cap'n
Jim has cum to town fur powder to
shoot squirrels. That yere-Uncle Tom
keeps It In a keg and ho alius lights
a candle to weigh it out in tbe back
room. I've bin a-talkln' to him fur the
last twenty years, but ho doan' bellevr
It."
"Don't believe what?"
"That that ar" candle and them ar"
powder am Juss dead suah to cum to-
gether sum time, (lot to do It. Uncle
Tom's gettln' old and trembly, and
thar's got to be a calamitous calamity
in that back room."
"And you think It will come off ao-
nlghtf"
"Mighty likely, sah. I hated to git
up and go out afore sumbody had
treated, but we ar' In dooty bound to
save our lives, I reckon."
"You didn't say anything to the
others?"
'"Twant no use.. They was talkln'
about b'ars and a b'ar story would keep
'em thar' If the house was afire. Be-
sides, they know all about It."
We had walked away about thirty
rods while talking and had Just taken
seats on the hotel veranda, when there
came a terrible rumble, tbe night was
lighted with a great flame and then the
earth seemed to rise up in waves.
"It's that yere powder and that yere
candle cum together!" shouted my
friend, as he picked himself up. "And
now I hope that yere Uncle Tom feel*
a heap better for li.<s peartnees."
The store waa demolished and four
men killed, while almost every pane
of glass In th* town waa broken.
"Had to be."' said my friend, a* w*
•tood among the crowd paging at th*
ruin*. "Yere was trembly Uncle Tom
with whisky In him; thar' waa the
taller candle with a proper amblshun;
yere was the keg of powder Jess' ltchin'
to be tackled. Had to be. Couldn't git
shet of it."

had been staying. Yet at times 1 fancied
that his merriment was forced, and
again and again I saw bis keen eyes
turned on me with a searching glance,
So when at last I was able to tell ] which annoyed me beyond measure,
her what name 1 bore, I changed it, j When at last I rose, he followed my
and called myself Mr. Julian Vane.
Bhe should, if she loved me, marry
me, thinking she was marrying one in
her own station of l!fev
Not that her station was anything to
be ashamed of. 80 far aa I could {rath-
er. she was one of the many whose
parents leave their children a slender
provision, yet large enough to live up-
on In respectability and comfort. Viola,
[ found, lived In a small house, with a
prim old dame, the pink of dignity and
propriety, and who had formerly been
the girl's school-mistress; a solitary,
lonely life It must have been for tbe
girl.
I laughed as I thought how, if she
loved me, I would draw her from her
Sull home, and show her the great
world and the glories thereof. How
was I to woo her? We wers not like-
ly to meet at any mutual friend's
bouse. I had no sister, cousin or any
one who could do me a friendly turn in
the matter. Yet every moment of sus-
pense would b* an age to me. I must
to something. So one day I waited un-
til I saw Viola leave the bouse. 1
watched her tall, graceful form pass
nut of my alght, and by a great effort
repressed my desire to follow her. Then
I walked to her house, and requested
to see Miss <Rosslter, the prim old
maiden lady aforesaid.
I told her In plain words the object
of my calling. I spoke frankly of my
love for her companion, and begged that
my hearer would aid me to remove ob-
stacles which stood In the way of a
closer Intercourse. No doubt, with a
lover'* cunning, I made myself most
agreeable to tho ancient old gentle-
woman. Permission was graciously
accorded me to visit the house—as a
friend.
I wanted no more. I rose to take my
leave, longing for to-morrow to come,
as I did not like to venture two visits
on the first day. Just then the door
tpened, and Viola appeared.
A look of surprise flashed into her
face—surprise, but not displeasure. A
faint blush crossed her cheek, and these
tlgns told me I should win her.
Now that my foot was Inside the clta-
lel, I went to work fiercely, impetuous-
ly, to gain my desire. The days that
followed are to me too sacred to be
described; but not many passed before
I knew that Viola's love was my own.
We went to the kindly spinster, who
WM responsible for Viola's safety, and
example, Viola, as was her custom, ac-
companied me to the door of the house,
but this evening I noticed, or fancied I
noticed, a certain reluctance and hesi-
tation in her manner. Eustace Orant
passed on In front of us. He opened the
door and stood on the steps. I linger-
ed for a moment to bid Viola a last
good-night.
Presently Grant turned, as if impa-
tient at my delay. There was a lamp
exactly opposite the house, and the hall
waa also illuminated. I could, there-
fore, see the man's face distinctly, and
there was an lndescrlbale look in his
eyes which told m* the whole truth.
This Eustace Grant, whoever he was,
loved Viola even as I loved her! All
my Jealous and mistrustful nature
surged to the surface. I grasped Viola's
hand and hasitlly drew her into a lit-
tle sitting-room close by. She looked
at me In a startled manner.
"Viola," I said, "who Is this man?"
"Dearest, I told you; Eustace Grant,
my guardian!"
"Who Is he? What is hi* profes-
sion?"
"Ah! that Is a secret as yet. He
will tell you some day; for. Julian, you
will love him like a brother when you
know him."
"Never! Listen, Viola. That man
Is in love with you! "
She made no answer, and by the
light which passed through the half-
opened door I saw a soft expression of
pity and regret upon her sweet face.
"You know it?" I asked.
She sighed. "I am afraid It la so, or
has been so. Poor Eustace!"
The Intonation of the last two words
carried comfort to my heart. It told
me that I need fear no rival. I em-
braced Viola, and left her. Grant was
still on the door-step. He wa* evident-
ly waiting for me. I paused in the
road, looking for a vacant hansom.
"Do you mind walking a little dis-
tance with me, Mr. Vane?" said Grant.
"I have some distance lo go. I
would rather drive."
"I will not take you far, but I have
something to *ay to you."
He turned In an authorltlve manner,
as though fully expectluB I should fol-
low him. I hesitated; then Joined him,
and we walked side by side.
There was a frigid silenc* between
us: but as I glanced at tbe tall, manly
figure by my side, as now and again by
the light of the gas lamps I saw that
Wbullal Itlqnett*.
Wheeling etiquette is not yet in a
very advanced stage, although a few
rules have been laid down.
A gentleman should never mount un-
til the lady with whom he is riding Is
settled in her saddle. Then he may
mount and follow her. When prac-
ticable they should ride abreast, the
lady always on tbe right side. When a
narrow road makes this Impossible tbe
lady should go ahead so that her escort
may know at once should any danger
menace her.
At the conclusion of a ride the gentle-
man should first dismount that he may
relieve his companion of her wheel as
soon as she has Jumped from it. But
a gentleman should never assist a lady
to mount. Such a thing would be very
distasteful to the Independent spirit of
a wheelwoman.
While chaperons are not considered
necessary by high-spirited American
girls It Is certainly good form for a
young lady to be accompanied by a
more elderly member of lier sex.
In cycling, as in everything else, leap
year entertainments have crept In. In
tandem riding a lady always sits in
front, but now faddists would have us
reverse this order of things. That
usage, of coune, will be discontinued
after leap year, when normal condi-
tions will once more bo In vogue.—Ex-
change.
