Much of my information seemed to afford him matter for astonishment, and often he ejaculated, "You don't tell me sol" as I conveyed some specially startling piece of news. However, the time for departure came at last, and my mind was torn with con-flicting desires to escape detection and to ascertain his identity. "You'll come and see usl" he said cor-dially, as we parted. "Yes, certainly," I replied; "but where are you putting up now?" "Oh, the same old quarters," he re-turned. "What is the best way to get there?" I asked, as a last hope. "You can't do bettor than take a cab," ho said, and we parted never to meet again. True Flag. added, as I hesitated for an insfant be-tween my desire to have more of my companion and my disinclination to dino under false pretences; "you know they'll be awfully disappointed if they hear I have met you and let you off without a long talk and I join them 1 felt constrained to consent against my better judgment and added, in a playfully solicitous manner, "And how are they all? "Oh, they are all tiptop all except the colonel, after a pause and with a slightly subdued air; "I don't think he has ever quite got over that affair." "Ah," I rejoined, shaking my head sympathetically, "one doesn't got over that sort of thing in a day; but the others?" "What others?" he said bluntly. ' 1 hesitated, and rejoined vaguely; "Were there not some others?" Ho pondered heavily for a few sec-onds before replying, "Yes, I believe there were some others, but they made no difference." I wns just murmuring, "Very likely not," when he turnd to me abruptly and said, "1 hope you don't thiuk he came badly out of that business?" His hund seemed to relax its pressure on my arm, as if he was preparing him-self for some censure or coldness on my part. I felt touched by this little proof of his sensitiveness to my good opinion, and pressed his fingers as I rejoinud warmly, "I nover heard any one speak otherwise than highly of his conduct in the mat-ter." He stopped and said shortly: "Why, who know3 anything about it? I thought you and I had it all to our-selves." "Yes, yes," I faltered, and added, "you know you have been away for some timo.old follow." It did not seem to fit in very well; but he accepted it as an argument, and said: "There is something in that, but don't lot people talk about it I know he re-lies upon you and me." Thoro was something so touching in the reliance of this unknown that a glow of sympathetic affection warmed my heart, and 1 resolved on the spot that his confidence should not be misplaced. Come what might, the secret of that old man's life should never be botrayed by me. Others might make it a subject of club gossip or tea table tittle tattle, but no word of mine should add one drop to the cup of bitterness that had been placed at his lips. There are passages in the lives of all of us which we would wish to have buried in oblivion the thoughtless follies of youth, the un-worthy ambitions of manhood, and the selfish jealousies of old age. Who is there that can stand up and say there is no episode in his life ho would not have expunged, forgotten or condoned? We had turned into a restaurant for a bit of dinner, and those thoughts passed through my mind as we ate onr fish. My companion pondered sadly for a few sec-onds, and then, shaking himself together as though to throw off an unpleasant train of thought, said, more easily, "Now, tell mo about yourself, your wife and family." Bef oro I had timo to reflect upon what might be the result of my disclosure I blurted out the simple truth, "I have no wjfe." Ho looked intensely surprised as he said: "My dear fellow I am very sorry. I nover heard " He paused inquiringly, and again I blurted out, "I never had one." A look of extreme pain spread over his face as ho heard this. Ho leunod across the tablo, and laying his hand on mine said, with infinite sympathy: "I seo it all. I ought not to have asked you. Forgive me, old fellow, and forget that I have said those words." I ga ve him a clammy hand and turned away lest he should detect the conscious guiltiness of my face. I had become confirmed in a suspicion that had been gradually dawning upon my mind that 1 had nover set eyes upon my host be-fore that day, and that I had been car-ried away by some inerplicable chance resemblance to some remote acquaint-ance and by his own apparent cordial recognition of inysolf. There were no blinking tho facts, however. Everybody that he mentioned was a total stranger to me, while every incident that 1 men-tioned with a view to drawing him out seemed to find his mind a blank. My sole object now was to extricate myself from my false position without detection. I got absolutely and hope-lessly involved in fable and falsehood, and after having thus lightly taken away thogood name of the suppositious mother of my children a sort of despair took pos-session of me, and a wild desire to avoid exposure or explanation at any cost. The dinner was good, the wino excel-lent, and my host geniality itself. We wd drank'freelv "and '" A VERY OLD FRIEND. I had just come out of the postoffice, when I caught sight of a face that seemed familiar to me. It was that of a man of about iny own age, with bronzed feat-ures and a somewhat attenuated figure. As I was trying to recall whon and whore I had seen him before, our eyes mot, and 1 immediately perceived that our recog-nition had been mutual; for he came to-ward me with a frauk expression of pleasure and held out his hand, saying, "Hello, old fellow, who'd have thought cf seeing you here?" I don't know why he said this, and of course 1 don't at-tempt to dofond it, but it is a style of address affected by some men who are as profoundly astonished if they meet you in a restaurant as if they had run across you in the mines of Siberia. I felt a little bit annoyed at his want of originality; however 1 smiled pleasant-ly and said as I shook hands, "Well, if you come to that, who'd have thought of seeing you here?" We stood opposite oach other for a few seconds; 1 simpering somewhat emptily at the nature of our greeting and strug-gling to recall his name; and he with his head slightly on one Bide and an ex-pression of courteously suppressed amuse-ment on his face, as if my presence on the stops of the postoffice was one of those inexplicable freaks of chance for which it is hopeless to seek to assign any reasonable law. 1 gavo him a few seconds to digest his astonishment, aud then, feeling that the silence was be-coming a littlo embarrassing, I said "Well, what havo you been doing all this timej" "Well," he replied, "I've been iu Australia, you know." "Oh, nhl" I ejaculated, as if it had for a moment slipped my memory; "why, you went there" and I hesi-tated, as though calculating the exact day of his departure. "Three years ago," he put in shortly, "and quite long enough, too." I ran over in my mind my acquaintance cf three years ago, but could recall no trace of a recollection of my new com-panion; so, to gain time and to gather fresh information, I asked, "And what sort of atime havo you had?" "Oh, much about the same as before," he answered, with a slightly puzzled nir. 1 candidly admit that the sensible thing for me to have done would have been to own up and admit that I had forgotten my friend's personality. Un-- fortunately, I am ono of those painfully constituted people who shrink with nerv-ous horror from anything in tho nature of an explanation, and, in addition, I felt that I had gone too far to cry off with-out some appearance of sincerity, Be-sides, he seemed to congratulate himself so warmly upon what he insisted upon looking on as our providential meeting that my lips were sealed and I felt con-firmed in the idea that if I let things lide a little longer his name would re-cur to my mind. He had slipped his arm through mine as we walked up town, with an easy senBe of good fellowship, and said: "Of course you'll dine with me this evening. Js ow, i?c't yoa eay ya are eneaged," he Every time Sali, his African servant, approached the den the least thing he expected was that the inkstand would be thrown at his head1. One day he originated a new way of saving his head. He had a telegram to doliver, so he ingeniously fixed it on the end of a long bamboo, and fatting the door just ajar he poked it into the room and bolted. Although averse to reading correspond-ence, aitley read some letters with keen delight, and one in particular from a little girl. It contained the following characteristic lines: "It was very kind of you to go through such perils to rescue Emin Pasha. I liked so much to hear of your fighting against the dwarfs, and should like to see one very much. They must look so funny, being so small. I am a little school girl at school, and I am 11 years old. I am very fond of geography, and am always longing to go round the world." Scribner's. Stanley After His Return. Nothing worried Stanley more than a tap at the door while ho was writing. He sometimes glared like a tiger ready to spring. When his courier knocked tremblingly at his door he would cry out," Am I a prisomrr in my own house?" "I've brought you this telegram, sir." "Well, I detest telegrams. Why do you persist in bjinging them?" GETTIN' ON. - When t wuz somewhat younger I wii7. reckoned purty gay; I had my Ding nt everything In a rollckiu', coltish way.

The Green Card In the Mall Box, There is a little green card in use by the postoffice department that is a terror to careless letter carriers. It is a terror only whon they have once been caught. Very seldom, indeed, ure they caught the second time. This card is dropped in a letter box, and on it is marked the time it was put in and also the time it should be taken out Toy the carrier. A record is kept by the chiof of the carriers, and if that littlo curd does not turn up with the other mail with which it is due it is clearly to be seen that the carrier lias not taken the mail from that partic-ular box. Tho object, of course, is to test the reliability of the carriers. Where there is any complaint on the part of citizens about the tardiness of local mails, then a little green card is dropped in one or more boxes in the district from which the complaint comes. Sometimes it shows carelessness on the part of the carrier and sometimes it does not. It is, however, not necessary that thore should bo complaints, for frequently the cards are put in the boxes of the most efficient men. Of course they are happy when they discover them. But whore a box is missac'l in which there is a green card, then the carrier is bound to get into trouble, and very serious trouble at that. Leniston Journal. Done Ilim Up.

Miss Cooper, a daughter of the novel-ist, James Fenimore Cooper, states that wiion in Paris she saw a iY?!ich transla-tion of her father's tale, "The Spy," in ' which there were several mistakes, but ono of them wa.a such that it was almost incredible that any one could possibly liave been guilty of it. The residence of Mr. Wharton, one of the characters who figure in tho story, is spoken of by the author as "Tho Locusts." Now, the translator had evidently been ignorant of the circumstance of there being any species of trees bearing this name. Having, therefore, looked up the word in his dictionary, and finding the defiui- - tion to be given as "Les Sauterelles" grasshoppers thus he rendered it in the text. Presently, however, he came across a paragraph in the novel in which it was stated that a visitor to the house of Mr. Wharton had tied his horse to a locust. Then it might bo naturally supposed that tho translator would at once have discovered his error. Not a hit of itl His reasoning would appear to have been somowhat on a parity with that of a cele-brated countryman of his, when he de-clared that "if the facts do not agree with tho theory, so much the worse for the facts." Nevertheless, the writer seems to have been conscious that some explanation was due of so extraordinary a statement as t hat a horsemau had secured his steed to a grasshopper. So ho went on gravely to inform his readers that iu America these insects grow to an enormous size, and that in this case one of these, dead and stuffed, had been stationed at the door of tho mansion for the convenience of the visitors on horseback!
