"Not this time," answer. i I'atty, led

".Mrs. T.ukcr, a liloouiini; widow of

"With pleasure," saitl I'atty, untying
her Shaker straw b iniict, and laying
aside the white muslin scarf she had
Worn, while sho sadly dropped the little
pearl brooch oucu more into her

she.
Well, you and I will choose," said
Mis. Tarker. "Tic re is the lu sl pari, r

on the luture. Sin: tlid not belong to
the r.tecof prudes who aloft a hoi ror of
matrimony. 1 i lo r lui'id, a happy mar
lied life was ihe clown of nil eaithly
bliss. Old Aunt J idith was kind to

Tatty felt that In r whole existence was
In coining dwarfed and blighted.
It was .iiit" true whit Mr-. Maikoe
had said - T.ilty w as a belle. Sao ha I

She w:ii never allowed to occupy t'lf

gave them never a see Hid thought; bill

"Well," it's a shame!" said Lucy

"That old aunt of her's inu-tbe a reg

The sponge cakes proved a siiccc-s, Ihe
apple pies a perfect triumph, ami Tally
Wallace was silling on the little
front porch at home, tired, yet exul

"Oh, Mr. Jeffreys!" cried Tally, rec
oguiing him in the starlight.
"I've just come from Mrs. Talker's,"
saitl the young man. "I expected to liud
jini there."
"Dili you." said Tatty, rather sur
prised. "Tatty, I Iilon't know how to begin,
but I should be pnmd it you would con

holiest young fellow.
"Oh, 1 coul dn't !" said Tally, thankful

the blushes on her check. "Oh, thank
you very much; but I never could do
...
"Are you tpiile sure, Tatty!"
"Yes, quite; but thank you nil the

Tatty trembled all over, mid lu r lu-art
hi at as Mr. Jeffi-e s slowly retraced his
steps .low il the wooded s oi c. Ih-r lir-l
offer of marriage, and yet she felt actu
ally as if she had coiuinilled a crime.
"Hut one can't marry Ihe lirst man
that usks one," she reasoned within her
self. "Tatty!"
She slaftetl. Here was (iuy Klln rege

II id lit! dropped li'oni Ihe clouds!
"Hear me!" she exclaimed, involun
tarily. "Whal's this about Mrs. Tai ker!" he
di'inaiiib'tl.
"About Mrs. Tarker?" repeated Tatty,
"tlh, I was there, helpine; her to-day !
Why!'
I won't have it, Tatty!" said Kilter
cgc, imperiously. "If you're going to

"I must see what this i-!'' said Tally,
with appealing glances towards Kile r

for fifteen minutes precisely."
So he wailed, w hile Tally hurried in

It was from Ju Ige Spikt r, the pnrtly

There is a grow iug demand in New

Tacitie, where il may be said lo iiici l
the brass ca-ll of Cathay, and no sin tiler
coin is needed iu the Wesl. lint li. re a
half cent would lend to prevent waste
among the poorer people. Thus thin
are plenty of toys which art: retailed at
a cent each which could be, ami woii'tl
be, proliliibly sold at half a cent. One
must buy an even number of pounds ol
sugar ami an even number of some kinds
of goods, or lo-e half a cent. Il will
sound mean to i tinie people to hear one
complain of the loss of half a cent, but
the old Scotch proveib about wilful
waste ami woful waul cannot be igiioit d.
"Tin standard coin of France is the
