Now, here he rested, motionless nnil interested, in the middle of the (limit's Stairway, watching 11 little girl.n child of seven years, her eye red and swollen with weeping, her thin hand extendei" bi him, while she looked nl him w ith an eagerness ami iirt.-nsity almost terrible. Lord Mnett mechanically dc- Hcended a step, the child came nearer and finding herself encouraged, whis pered with a breaking voice, in tin; Hwoct lisping tongue of the Doges: "Charity, signor, in the uaiiie of Christ, the Saviour." The Englishman, moved in spte of himself by this prayer, so like n com mand, took a handful of change ami offered it to Hie child, who refused it almost angrily. "Xe," aaid she, and her voice be came shrill mid fierce "I must have n gold llorin." John Edward, despite Inn usual af fected indolence, could not repress an exclamation of surprise. "A gold florin !" he repeated, scar ing with his great, mild eyes, into the siul ones of the little girl. "Why must you hue a llorin?" "To bury my mother, signor, who in dead. " "Ah," said the Englishman whose heart was stirred. "They demand money for the candles ami for the grave, in all, a florin! And miiinma's down yonder waiting, and so very cold !" The Englishman quickly placed the money in the child's thin hand, hen added : "Wb.-re do you live?" "Far away yonder, behind St. Pierre des (trees." "Corn-.', let us go there." Ami taking the weeping child by he hand, Lord Mac (i crossed ho enliro widHi of tho ducal city, oblivious of Hia passers-by, who were not a little surprised, even shocked, at this unusual (tight. The child had iudeed o' f oly the tfvl truth. In the top of a misernb o house, a dead body lay, awaiting burial, waiting to be eiriied to its last home six feet of earth awaiting the prayers for the dead. It was that of a respectable, brave widow, whom sickness, poverty, hard work and despair had killed before her time ; for she had implored Frovi eenee to grnnt her to live until she might rear her child to womanhood. John Edward knelt with a quiet sim plicity by the dead woman ; hen in quiring regarding the formalities to be observed ; attended b all with lavish generosity ; and the following day, with uncovered head walking in th -midst of the common crowd of peopl ', accompanied tin; mother' to her last resting-place. On their return he said to the child : "What is your imme?" "Caribi, signor." Then Hie English lord a I 1,; I in n low voice : "Would you like b; my little daughter?" The child looked earnestly at him for mi instant before answering; then suddenly, bursting int i teirs, she threw herself info his arms, open to receive her. "Yes, yes, signor," she sohbo.l. Lord Mac(i - retiirn-d to London, accompanied by Cariti, and without delay proceeded t. turn upside down his grand ,,1,1 mansion, fancy ing it unsuitable to shelter the childish ch'irnis of th:; Venetian orphan.

The voice of this most honorable gentleman trembled a little as he uttered these words, but his face was calm and smiling. Caritu raised to hiui her greirt, soft eyes, serious and full of an angry sur prise. "I do not wish to marry," she said. She was marvellously lovely at this moment, this waif of Hie Giant's Stair way. Tall, lithe as a willow, with hair of Venetian gold, with the light of burning lava shining through if; with the feet and hnm'sof a patrician ; lips red as a coral branch and teeth like the pearls which one finds only among the seeweeil of Ceylon. More than till that, she hail a grace, a charm, a wonderful radiance about her. John I'M ward trembled as he de manded: "Why?" "Bee nise," nlie replied, lowering her eyes, heavy with sadness. "But why?" Carita straightened herself and looked lii in firmly in the face, with he bold modesty of an innocent heart. "In what way do you love me?" she asked. Lord MncH started.

It is Known only to a lew persons ns the only place in the United States w here horses are slaugh tered for human fond. Henry Hosse, the proprietor of this utiiipie establishment, wa ' born in Bel gium in Hli:i. His father was a cel ebrated butcher of that place and Mr. liosse beiriied the business in the pti reiital establishment. lb; reached this country in Issii and went to Chi cago.

While Bel gium lends in the manufacture of horse meat si, usage, France consumes the largest amount of fresh horse meat.

"lo you believe that horse meat will ever become an article of food in the United States?" "It is hardly likely," said Mr. Bosse "so long as we have a plentiful s.ipplv of good beef and pork.

Howu in the ward-room is a e.ise of beautiful silverware, and every cover has for a handle a solid gold grizzly bear; and this docs very well indeed as a testimonial, but it is nothing to Billy. San Francisco sup plied Billy as well. He was little more than a kid when tin' ship sailed away for Valpariso to have a hand in settling the Chillinii squabble that made so much noise in the fall of JW. After that the San Francisco took In r time about getting around Cape Horn, but Billy improved it a'l until now he is an ace mipl shed sailor.

The line does not wait, but Billy finds sweet rcwiige in bracing ag iiiist a stanchion, and butting every pair of legs that goes by.
