"Not so bad after all," -was Leslie's inward comment. "No danger of a noisy intruder, at least" as dav after day passed and thf child. moved silent ly about the L'isc .ike .some so ruber clad fairy. Xow and then, at rare intervals, would be heard a silvery laugh like the tinkle of far-off bells or a snatch ot song, an Bhe grew reconciled to her home, where all seemed so kind and thoughtful of her comfort Yet it. was, after al!, without regret that Les lie learned he wotiM still for a few years have his home as of old, that Violet (for so the youn mother had named her wln she first looked into tne wonderful baby eyes which Tjore thi? violet's hue; was to be Kent to boarding school and only to spend her vacations with them. Hut when she had fairly one he missed her and often thought of the sweet, childish f.c: and voice. Xheu ull was forgot ten In. a woman's smile a smile a& 'alse as it was fair a smile which taught the youn man for the first time that worneii. alas, were not all true, which caused him for p. season to faith and hewe. to swear all false, save Lt who had given him life, and with trouble for the first time enter ing his soul, he bade farewell to ole scenes and places and went abroad. m 0 It was evening. .A lovely day in June had drawn to its close, as Mrs. Tyrrel, with some few gray hairs sprinkling the brown, sat by an open window. At her b et, in lovely un conscious grace, si 1 s the girls, to whose eoniin she had looked forward almost with dread. Hix years ago she came to them a child ; and now, in all the glory of her eighteen summers and her fresh, peerless beauty, she has grown to be as a (laughter to her at whose feet she. sits. "If T could only keep you with me, she says, stroking the fair young head ; "but, ah, Violet, I see already many are eager to pluck my little flower. I fear my garden soon will be desolate. ' "Not so, mamma." for so the young girl loved to call her. "I never could be so happy as with you. When Les lie comes ba?k, I suppose I s.hall be jealous euouli. What se it him away jfio suddenly, and why does he stay away so many years?" "A great grief, Violet, gave him a spirit of unrest, but I trust soon he may come back to his mother's side. I have not heard from him for many weeks and am growing anxious." But even as she spoke was heard a quick, eager peal of the bell, a bustle in the hall, a tall figure was seen darkening the threshold, and in an other moment Mrs. Tv-rel Was clasneJ in her son's arms in a loog, close em brace. When she raised her head from his breast Violet had gone. She thought tha scene too sacred forothpr eves. "Never mind the child," the young man said impatiently. "Let me only look at vou, mv beautiful mother, whom I have deserted so loujr. Jt has been ray loss, darling, but I a:n "iome now for ave. Alone in her own room Violet Fane is on tier knees, pouring out her ; thanksgiving to God.

' "ThU is my dance, Violet." he Yii.i to her one evening at a large party, at which she reigned, as ever, the ac knowledged belle. "I beg pardon ! Miss Fane has just promised me this dance," inter rupted a voice. "Oh, Leslie, I had forgotten. thought yours was next." "It is of no consequence,'' was the reply, and as Harvey Ellis whirled her off in triumph he turned away. "How little he cares," was her thought, "or would c.ire even if ht knew how deep was my regret!" But there came a lay when Leslie fyrrcl's heart awoke ; when there cunt to him the consciousness that one false woman had not power to mar his Hie; when ia his day-dreams floated the vision of a sweet young face; wh?u one voice woke music once more, in hi heart, and yet he dared not let hope enter. Between him and thi.-; fair young life was ranged a long vista ot years he, e. man of - thirty-live ; and she but just eighteen, with many his equal in birth and wealth surrounding her, eager for the prize. Did she not even now avoid him? Did not her laugh cease, her song die, at Tils presence? What had he to no vith life's sunshine? Perhaps she, too, could be false like her sex. But in his soul the man knew this latter reasoning was -mtrue ; that the girl's heart w s white as snow, unsullied by a single lie. But with the knowledge came an added coldness aa'he strove to put her from him. "Violet," he said to her one day, calling her into the library, "Mr. El lis has asked me to plead his cause with j on. I could not refuse such a request, disagreeable as it may be. The advantages of a suit such as his you know. He says you told him there whs an insurmountable barrier in the way, which was the reason of his com ing to me. If this is the case, Violet" and in his effort to appear calm, the man's voice grew hard and btern "it you love this man, what is this thing which separates you? If you will tell me, confiding in me as a brother, J will try and level it." One dry sob was in the white throat for a moment, choking her utterance; one look of agony shot from the tear less eyes, as sha listened to the mau before her, pleading another'.' cause, but. her woman's pride came to the rescue, though a touch of satire ran out in the clear young voice. "I thank you, Leslie, for thus qener vuslv offering to surmount another's obstacles. The man I marry must be capable of leveling his own barriers, righting his own battles. Yon can say this to Mr. Ellis, with my compli ments," and with a haughty bow she swept from the room. Two days later, and Leslie started, on entering; the library, to see Violet sitting by a Jow window, her face buried in her hands. At the sound of his step she raised it, flushed - an 1 wept. Hisiuff, she turned to go, but his hand detained her. A flash of anger shot from her eyes and ran if through her voice as. she exclaimed: "Why do you not let me go? I cane here to be alone. Do you wish again to plead another's cause?"' "No, Violet. Do you think aiA, then, hard as adamant, t". at yon can thus question me? Suppose I were to plead -mv cwn. Suppose I were to tell jo'ir that the man you dislike an j avoid knew no sunshine save that j;iven hue by your smile; that the aotiz hicu in his presence ever dies on your lips is to his cms the swe-tst music on God's earth ; tli.t even y.ir scorn is preferable t t2a emnr.ness ... . s . . , OI J am lie wittiout too, ft inoose -U a fool, a madman '". a niag on 2 chair, he baned bis he i :n his C2.au?. listening ;or ta1 should teil hizi she was r-i?.e roa-.

Allen aud Sachtle ben assumes unusual proportions. These young men, upon theicom pletion of their college courseln St. Louis-, determined to acquaint them selves with the lands and people of the Old World. In order to have greater leisure for their studiet, and to come into closer contact with the inhabitants of the country visited, they traveled on bicycles, aril the strangeness of their mo lo of loeouio lion in the Orient brought them mauy surprising adventures. They have written the story of theii long jaunt from Constantinople ts Pekiu in a series of papers in the Cen tnry. Like all enterprising Ameri cans, they had their camera with them, and they took frequent snap-shots oi strange phases of life, many of which are reproduced in the pages of thi magazine. They left Constant inoph eajly in April, 1891, crossing from Stamboul by steamer. We quote fron. the first of the Century articles : '.S week's cycling from the Bosporm brought us beyond" the Allah Dagl Mountains, among the barren," varie gated hills that skirt the Angora plateau. W had nlieady passed through Ismid, the ancient Nicomedia and capital of Diocletian ; and had left behind us the heavily timbered valley of the Sakaria, upon whose banks the Freebooter of the Bithynian hills' settled with his four hundred tnts and laid the foundation of the Otto man empire. Since leaving Geivel we had been attended by a mounted guard, or zaptieh, who was sometimes forced upon us by the authorities in their anxiety to carry out the wishc i expressed in the letter of the Grand Vizir. "On emerging from th j door of an inn we frequently found this unex pected guard waiting with u Winches ter rifle swung over his shoulder, and a fleet steed standing by his side. Imme- "Uedy on our appearance he would swing into the saddle and charge through the assembly. Away we would go at a rapid rate down the streets of the town or village, to the ntter amazement of -the1 natives and tlie great satisfaction of o:u, vain glorious zaptieh. As long as hi horse was fresh, or until we were out of sight of the village, he would urge us on with cries of 'Oellchabuk' 'Come on, ride fast"). When a bad piece of road or a steep ascent forced us to dismount he would bring his hore to walk, roll a cigarette, and draw in vidious comparisons between our steeds. His tone, however, changed when we reached a decline or long stretch of reasonably good road Then he would cut across country to head us off; or shout after ui at the toD of his voice, Varash-yafish' ('Slowly, slowly").
