I met himtraveling, first out and we struck up a kind of walking, acquaintance. "Without being introduced? "How particular you are; well, yes, without being' introduced, except by ourselves; .then he followed me home, and the next (ay he threw a note over the garden-wal- l; and so it went till uncle found ft out, and bundled me off home again. "But he haij asked him to Abbots. ville? 1 believe so, and he said he would come; but, meanwhile, I am not allowed to writb.to him, which is horribly hard. "If you donlj care for him why should you wish to write? Oh, I do Care in a measure. Its always nice tb have ayoung fellow hanging after you; but I have no notion of binding myself down to marry him, or anything of that sort. Margaret sighed and leaned out of the open wijndow. The moonlight streamed dowiin a flood of radiance, and lighted up all of the unshaded portions of the bark, leaving the little, leafy knolls, yvhere the deer loved to congregate alone, in shadow. She was thinking of Hamilton, and how ready she had been to bind herself down to be faithful to his, unfaith before she knew it woulc be such. "Carmen! she exclaimed, earnestly, "never marry him unless you are quite sure he will he true to you. Who? Hajnilton Shore? "What did you say? cried Margaret. - good-looki- ng i j "There, now!

Why, The Mysterious One is your guardians nephew, Hamilton Shore. I didnt know itj myself till uncle caught him in my veranda and made such a fuss about it; and then the young man was obliged, i:i self defense, to give us his real name and address. Margaret, why dont you answer? Did you think Master Hamilton was too immaculate to go or are you afraid his uncle will be angry at his choosing me? "Oh, no! why should he be? Arent youj and Hamilton friends? "Pretty well; that is yes of course we are; but I do not know what Mr, Ruthven will say to the affair. It is very -- sudden, and he has not been pleased with Hamilton lately.

In 1894 they dropped to a lower point than for many years, only $6,768,000 worth being brought to this country. The growth of luxury in the United States is fairly measured by the imports of ;diamonds, which in 1867 amounted to barely more than $1,300,000. In 1889 they had reached nearly $11,000,000; in 1890, in 1892, $14,000,000. This was the high water mark. They have fallen off to less than half that figure since. It seems more than surprising that no diamond mines have ever been discovered in the United States, remarks the Occasional St. Louis been picked up gems of this kind have in various states, the conclusion drawn from such discoveries being that they are restricted almost wholly to a belt along the eastern base of the southern Alleghanies in Virginia and Georgia, and to another belt along the western base of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. It is a melancholy fact that this country hardly produces an average o! $100 worth of diamonds annually. And yet there is hope ahead. Nobody can say with certainty that diamond mines rivaling those of South Africa may not be struck some day within the limits oi Uncle Sams domain. Within the last few years some "finds have been made which .cause the experts of the geographical survey to shake their heads thoughtfully.

If rn The skeleton of an Indian warrior at least 6 feet 6 inches tall was found in Muscongus, Me., a few days ago by two men who were digging a cellar. The body had been buried in a sitting posture, facing east, and about it were found iron implements and spear and arrow heads, while around the arm bones were copper bands, covered with curious carvings. ' MoNALLY & LUNT, (to be continued.) Pearl? Yes; a .veiy bad one. I think it must be the railway traveling, It never does agree wiih me. Ah! you should have a lover like Hamilton to ifnake you well again. I had one or two terrible headaches at Rouen, and he used to sit beside me, and fan me by the hour. It was awfully jolly. Doijt you think hes very handsome, Pearl? Very handsome. And amusing? vhen Margaret, to seemed a asZ desired to see .and xbecome acquainted with one of whomx the world talks so favorably, I had another motive in asking you to Abbotsville besides the hope of numbering you amongst my friends. 'Indeed, Sir Frederic! And not an unnatural one, as ! think you will acknowledge. When 1 was abroad with my neice last month, we met at Rouen your nephew, Mr. Hamilton Shore. You did? What did you think of him? Not very well, begging your pardon. He got up a clandestine correspondence with Carmen.who is extremely thoughtless and undisciplined, and I should never have heard anything about it, I suppose, unless I had happened to catch him, one evening, climbing up the posts of the veranda. I thought he was a thief, and was about to collar him as such when he told me his name and a!d dress,, adding he was a nephew to Mrl Ruthven. I hope you kicked him well. Sir Frederic smiled deprecatingly. Kicking is not much in my line, Mr. Ruthven, but I examined the young fellow, and finding him to be a likely lad, and that Carmen had carried her flirtation rather far with him, I invited him to Abbotsville, always subject to your approval, that I might see something more of him before I made any decision, one way or the other. You would not object, then, to his marrying Miss Flower ?t Not if he is steady and honorable. My niece will have a considerable fortune. She inherits not only the united portions of her father and myself, but also the house and grounds of Abbotsville. Her husband, therefore, will have no need to work fyr her, and she is so uncertain, poor girl, in her caprices and actions, that I should be thankful to see her married before anything happens to myself. And so you want to have my opinion of my nephew, Hamilton Shore? Just so. Is he a young man likely to make the girl a good husband, and the estate a steady master? It was on the tip of Ruthvens tongue to tell Sir Frederic the Iwhole story oi Hamilton Shores treatment of Margaret, but he refrained. A man may use one girl 111 and another well; it would be no proof of his nephews want of affection for Miss Flower, and might injure Margarets future prospects. No; if the lad was really unworthy, let them find it out for themselves, as he had done, and no better opportunity could be afforded them thanj that which brought the young traitor into contact with the girl he had deserted and the girl he had sworn devotion to at one and the same time. So he resolved to further the plan of Master Hamiltons visit to Abbotsville as much as lay in his power, and leave the result to its natural conclusion. When he answered Sir Frederics question, it was to this effect: To decide what sort of a husband a boy of nineteen will make is a difficult matter; but Hamilton Shore has a long head when he chooses to make use of it, and a keen eye to the main chance. I do not think from what I know of him that he will make ducks and drakes of your nieces property; hut as to the other matter, I should think she should judge for herself. , You would put no obstacles, then, in the way of their engagement? LOVE THE CHILDREN. BtlCshness Being Taught to the Heirs of th Republic. The home is now ordered for and wholly controlled by the children. The grown person receives no consideration The among a houseful of children. the whole domestic meals, house, the routine, is ordered for the little folkA The training of Lycurgus couldnt prevent such children from being salfish, exacting and inconsiderate. At home conceded everything, abroad they exact everything; Household rule i3 a tyranny of the small hoy and small girl, tempered by weak indulgence. The result is seen in the schools, railway trains, in hotels wherever the small personxhas a chance to exhibit his spoiling. x How can good manners be expected from children thus trained or untrained? Ir college they are uninfluenced by the example of the professors, because their relations ate purely perfunctory. The natural bent, taken In their tender years, comes out in harder egotism a more boorish lack of consideration for others. It is a commonplace to say that to be gentle one must be born gentle, yet it is hardly the fact. In other days, when the home was not devoted entirely to the pleasures and pastimes of the'young folks, good breeding was as is now. In a sogeneral as ciety where children take on all the airs and go through all the social functions in miniature of their elders, there seems to be no place for the corrections and refinements once thought part of very young peoples training. The press of the country is perpetually satirizing the public conduct of Americans in travel, in watering-placeIn theaters and public places, and it Is an extraordinary fact that the better ranks of the social system seem to be the most culpable. Women who manifest their Indignation when a toil-woworkman declines to give her his place in the street car by audible comments on the selfishness of men will in their own household encourage this very selfishness by making everything in the house bend to the whims of a spoiled boy or girl, demanding the first service at table or the entire house for a playroom. Colleges :an not make fine manners a natural part of youths who have been thus ill reared at home. Good manners must to a certain degree he the expression of good heart; hut conventional good manners are attainable by watchfulness, and are often acquired by the extremely selfish.
