It was after dinner, and through the open French window of the dining room a clear view was to be had of the tennis court and the players. A set had just been finished and young Charles Westmacott was hitting up the balls as high as he could send them in the middle of "the ground! Doctor Walker and Mrs. Westmacott .were pacing up and down the lawn, the lady waving her racket! as she emphasized her remarks, and the doctor listening with slanting head and little nods of, agreement. Against the rails at the near end Harold was leaning in his flannels talking to the two sisters, who stood listening to him with their long dark shadows streaming down the lawn behind them. The girls , were dressed alike In dark skirts,1 with light pink tennis blouses and pink bands on their straw hats, so that as they stood with the soft red of the setting sun tinging their faces, Clara,1' demure and .quiet, Ida, mischievous and dating, it was a group which might have pleased the eye of a more exacting critic than the old sailor. '"Yes, he looks happy, mother, he repeated, with a chuckle. It was not so long ago pince it was you and I who were standing like that, and I don,t remember! that we were very unhappy, either.

Mrs. Hay Denvers life had been a very broken one, and her record, upon land represented a greater amount of than his endurance and upon the sea.

Now, at last, however, this old married couple, who were still almost strangers to one1 Another, had come together in Norwood, where, if their short day had been chequered and broken, the evening at least promised to be sweet and mellow. In person Mrs. Hay Denver was tall andj stout, with a bright, Tound, ruddy-cheeke- d face, Etill prutty, with a gracious, matronly comeliness. Her whole life ,was a round of devotion and of love,iWhich was divided between her husband and her . , self-sacrifi- ce J only son, Harold. j it was who kept them in neighborhood of London, for the p'hrdral was as fond of ships and of salt water as ever, and was as happy in the sheets of a two-to- p yacht as on the bridge 6f his sixteen knot monitor. Had he been untied the Devonshire or Hampshire coast would certainly have 'been his choice. There was Harold, however, and Harolds interests were their chief care. Harold was now. Three years before he had1 been taken in hand by an acquaintance of his fathers, the head of a considerable firm of .stock brokers, and fairly launched upon Change. His three hundred guinea entrance fee paid, his three sureties of five hundred pounds each found, his name approved by the committee, and all other formalities complied with, he found himself whirling pound, an insignificant unit in the Vortex of the money market of the world. There, under the guidance of his fathers friend, he was instructed in the mysteries of bulling and of bearing, in the strange usages of Change In the intricacies of carrying ever and of transferring. He learned to know where to place his clients money, which of the jobbers 'would maljfe a price in New Zealands, and which would touch nothing but American rails, which might be trusted and which saunned. All this, and much more, he mastered, and to such purpose that he soon bjgan to prosper, to retain the clients who fcad been recommended to him, and to attract fresh ones. But the work was never congenial. He had inherited from his father his love of the air of heaven, his affection for a manly and natural existence.

The speaker was Charles Westmacott and the time this same, summer evening in the tennis ground, though the shadows had fallen now and the same had been abandoned. The girl glanced up at him, amused and surprised. Do you mean yourself? Precisely. But how could I tell? I have no one to advise me. I believe that you could do it better than any ohe. I feel confidence in your opinion. V It is very flattering. She glanced up again at his earnest, questioning face, with Its Saxon eyes and drooping flaxen mustache, in some doubt as to whether he might he joking. On the contrary, all his attention seemed to be concentrated' upon her answer. It depends so much upon what you can do, you know. I do not know you sufficiently to be able to say what natural gifts you have. They were walking slowly across the lawn In the direction of the house. I have none. That is to say, none, worth mentioning. I have no memory and I am very slow. But you are very strong. Oh, if that goes for anything.

Some little joke about being called to the bar flickered up in Miss Walkers mind, but her companion was In such obvious earnest that she stifled down her inclination to laugh.

I was a mere lad and was wild with delight When, the bight came and I could go to hear him. In the audience was the celebrated Indian chieftain Osceola, and half a dozen of his braves, who were then, captives. They had been pining? in confinement and, prompted ty the humane motive of affording them some diversion, the authorities took them to hear Forrest play. His grand looks and majestic figure caught the copper-hue- d auditors at once, and they appeared entranced from the very outset. Forrest soon observed the strange group and immediately formed a design to interest them particularly, for suddenly in the midst of a stirring scene he emitted an Indian It fairly electrified his audience, and the effect on Osceola and his party was magical. Jumping to their feet instantaneously, they grave back an answering whoop that rent the air with Its mighty roar, and fairly chilling the blood of many a nervous hearer. Two Or three ladies fainted. The Whole thing was so sudden, so strange and startling that it made a vivid and lasting impression on every soul in that assemblage. Forrest was frequently heard to recall the episode, and he was wont to declare that the action of those untutored warriors was the greatest compliment ever paid to his powers as an actor. . ed . p, waters.! m ! that? t The doctor, laughed.

She was across the lawn in three jumps. She would have made a captain of the foretop in the old days. "She, is a very remarkable woman. "A very cranky one. "A very sensible one in some things, remarked Mrs. Hay Denver. "Look at that now! cried the admiral, with a lunge of his forefinger at the doctor. "You mark my words. Walker, if we dont look out that woman will raise a mutiny with her preaching. Heres my wife disaffected already, and your girls will be no better. We must combine, man, or theres an end of all discipline. "No doubt she is a little excessive in her views, said the doctor but in the main I think as she does. "Bravo, doctor! cried the lady. "What, turned traitor toe your sex! Well court-martiyou as deserter. "She is quite right. The professions are not sufficiently open to w&men.

Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French geographer, was the first to explore the plain about the Yoladors mouth. It seemed like an earthly paradise at first, and the stinging insects were no more numerous than one might have expected. But as the rainy season came on and the air grew hot And humid the mosquitoes appeared in incredible swarms. x M. Reclus had thought of establishing an agricultural colony in the. fertile lowlands, but found the plague of insects so unbear- able that he was forced to beat a retreat and abandon the .project. He was the discoverer of this wonderful stream, whose waters sweep over sands that are literally golden. He told the news to the French at Rio Hacha, and this official obtained the concession of this Eldo? rado. The dangers he was to encounter he knew perfectly well. He took with him when he set out an ingeniously constructed gauze tent of large dimensions. For two days he tried to live under its shelter and watch the operations of his workmen, who toiled in the stifling heat., clothed in thick garments, and protected by heavy boots, gloves and veils. At the end1 of the second day, however, both employer and employes with one accord gave up the struggle and retreated. The next to try to wring fortune from these auriferous sands was an Italian, who obtained permission from the referred to above. The Italian laughed at the idea of mosqui- toes driving anyone away from a place where gold could be picked up almost by the handful. He started out with a party of six who shared with him his belief, and so they, took along no special protection against the insects, They endured for less than half an hour the awful torture and then fled. They found their wpy back to Rio Hacha with difficulty, for the eyes of five were so badly swollen that they were blind. The sixth was a sight to behold, and he had to pick out the pathway with the aid of one eye, which the mosquitoes had not entirely closed. Yet there are human beings who can venture with impunity into this hell whose guardian demons are mosquitoes, and these are some of the savage natives of the mountains from whose rocky steeps the river comes tumbling down. These savages who are mosqui-t- q proof are rendered so by their bodies being covered with the scales that awful disease leprosy. Strange to ay, the mosquitoes will not touch them. But neither gold nor the gauds of civilization will tempt them to labor, and there is no human power, apparently, which will drag them from their rude caves on the mountain side and make them labor for the white men. It is an old and true saying that one might as, well try to get along without furs in the arctic regions as without mosquito nets in the tropics. Mosquito nets seem to have been of little avail, however, in the instances related. The insects are said to have been both unusually large and unusually venomous, and they came in such myriads hat they had the appearance of a mist hanging over the waters of the river. The intense pain and action ofijthe poison on the system speedily drive the strongest mad. !One of the favorite tortures among the natives of the region about the valley of the Volador is to strip their victim and bind him naked to a stake. In a moment his body will be literally covered with mosquitoes and in a half hours time it will he enormously swelled.; The torture is indescribable. ed No-To-B- , Vice-Cons- ul i I Greasers Coming Last. et No-To-B- .

The one is quite as expressive as the other; and, in either case, Ahe more delicately expressed the better. A woman who does not express her attachment by her manner cannot expect to be loved.
