Madeline turned the letter over in her hand and looked Intently at the clear, even writing on the envelope. He was not very much disturbed when he wrote that, she eald; there ia not a single line or curve that denotes nervousness She turned the letter over. 1 fancy be never atassped the seal more perfectly. Now. really. It seems that hia hand should have trembled Just a little a very little. "I have said nil my life," she said that 1 would mover thoughtfully, marry without love, but 1 never dreamed It would be difficult to know whether 1 loved. She threw Iter head back a little wearily and sighed. If 1 knew. she said slowly; 'Mr I only knew, 1 would place aa high a value upon the giving of my.iheart as any woman that lives. I only knuw that he la as much or more to me than anyone else that I have ever seen In my life; we have similar tastes; he Is all my Judgment tells me an honorable gentleman should be; he is of good family, sensible, practical and clever." she reached out her hand and touched a little bell at her aide. "Bring my itik," sdie said to the mart little maid who entered, and when she was once more alone, without any further hesitation, she languidly commenced her letter. So this is love," lhe said. lt la not as 1 thought after all, what is as we think it should be? What dreams we have, we girls, and how different the reality! Ah, well May I come in. Mist Madeline? Madeline looked up at the tall, alight girT standing just outside her door, and, smiling kindly Into the gray eyes, bade her enter. She was a seamstress that Madeline bad known for some time, and had been interested in because she thought she had discovered depths in this nature better worth studying than moat of ber society friends Madeline was one of those people we seldom but do aomeflmes meet, who was capable of understanding human nature In all Its phases, and of tolerating even those opinions cf which she did not approve. A soul great enough to reach to the very deptha for hidden good. Stella had opened her heart to her as everything else did, and all life and every life was interesting to Madeline. Perhaps she understood, and everyone's confidence was sacred. One keen glance at Stella and she knew the girl was troubled. You are unhappy, Stella. Sit down, putting her letter aside as If it was not a matter that influenced her whole life. "What ia it? M1bb Madeline, I have told you about Mr. Hastings. I want to write a letter to him. I want to adk you to write It for me. You are so smart, Miss Madeline, and ao well educated, and so is Le. I know what I want to say, but I can't write it. Why do you not tell him, Stella? He doesn't come to see me now, you know. I think it is like thlt: He lias grown tired and thinks I will not ran. He thinks no woman cures much. 1 am so sure if he really knew, if there Is anyway of making him understand how dear a man can be to a woman, be would come back to me be would niurry me. 1 want him to know. I want to tell you and then you must make him understand, will you. Miss Madeline?" "I will try, said Made'llile kindly, taking up her desk, putting her own letter aside very calmly, and arranging with hia foot is more to me than .til the love that could ever grow in any other human heart. Tell him that 1 would rather alt and sew by my window twelve long houis. If by so doing J could just see bim pass my door once, tban to spend thoe bours In the finest palace made by hands; I would rather hear one kind word from hia lips Just one than to be the honored wife of any other man that lives. Madeline put down the pen thathal 'never written such words, and her hand ank helplessly upon the desk.

A few steps more, and ber hands were flung with a passionate abandonment, new to her. about the gIMs form, while the tears rained down her checks. In the name of God!" she cried, fco and tell him yourself; tell him what you have told me, and if he turns away from such a love no matter. 1 cay, Stella, what has ever been in your past or his If he turns from such a love he la not human. Go and tell him. Stella, open your heart to him, as you have to me. 1 know who he is, and I believe he Is a man of character. Go and tell him what you have told me, and say to him that I say God bless all such love!' " Stella looked up and smiled. I love him,' she said simply. And Madeline smiled as she took up her desk again, a glad smile at the thought of a possible future that might still hold something of the beauty that Is every glrl'a birthright. And when Mr. Williams carefully and deliberately opened a perfumed note that he was perfectly sure he knew the contents of, he sat long with the dainty, brief missive in hie hand and wondered why in the name of all that was inconsistent she bad eald no!

That was twelve years ago. and to the story be gave hia real name, lie received a fat cheek for it, but year after year went by and the story never appeared. It finally passed from his remembrance, until the other day, when he received a letter from the publishers informing him that it would shortly put In an appearance in serial form. That made the author nervous, and he forthwith sent the following telpgram: Suppress story and return manuscript, and will pay three times amount nf original check." The publishers replied; "Can't do it We know a good thing when we have it. The story is in your best vein!" after letter, telegram after telegram passed, but no he didn't have money enough to buy that story!

ItaUira Twenty-ThV- MubnIhw In one of piy conversations with the prime minister he observed to me: It ia unfortunate for ua that we have no paper like your leading morning journals. and what is even more unfortunate is that we have no public opinion in our press as you have. Hut If yuu w ish to write upon the journalism of Japan you should go and see my friend, ('apt, Hrinkley, the editor of ihe Jupan Daily Mail. No one can give you better information on the subject than lie can." To Capt. Brink-le- y, therefore. went. As he is entering upon his thirtieth year of residence in Japan, in which country he began as a teacher of strategy and mathematics in the uaval college, which he quitted after tVn yeura of hard work, to beeome the editor of the Important English paper which he conducts with great ability and on original lines of his own, and aa he Is intimately connected In many ways with the land of his adoption, he, better than any one else, waa qualified to give me the Information 1 sought. "The increase in Japanese Journalism. he ssid, is marvelous; but 1 fear the improvement is rather In quantity than in quality. When 1 first name here, thirty years ago, there were not more than twenty papers In the whole country. and they of the moat wretched description. Now we have 802 newspapers and magazlnM, with a total yearof 278,167,421 coplea ly circulation Here In Toklo alone we have twenty-thre- e dailies, with sn annual circulation of 134,804,729, and fifty-si- x magazines, issuing 4,865,999 copies yearly. The chief dallies are the Nlchi Shim-bu- n, I. e., tbe Daily News, which ought to Interest you specially," he added with a smile, and the JiJi Shimpo, which Is edited by Fukuzawa, one of He tbe finest men In Japan also keeps a large school. In which have been educated many of our leading statesmen. These two papers have a daily circulation of 40,000 each and are very influential. There ia no public opinion as we understand tt in Japan. Tbe one distinct trait in the Japanese character is never to Interfere with your neighbor, and, though the papers have gone Jn for the grossest American forma of personal attack on individuals, yet the tendency of the people attacked la simply to ignore It altogether.
